I'm not sure why my message counter shows that I sent one off that I don't remember. Anyway...

On station in the Omega sector. S/D Alpha and I met at Rostock. Rostock appears to be the training ground for a lot of Corsairs and Hessians, as we kept running into them. I had a minor blue-on-blue incident with Rostock itself - the Hessian I had targeted with my missile dove behind the station, so the missile hit the station instead. It didn't cause any damage to the station, but they decided that shooting at me was then a good thing.

I had to quickly dock and switch ships, as my wingman was still in trouble. We got those guys all taken care of and had almost started to discuss patrol when 6 more Hessians showed up. I have an issue with the Manta and the battery storage capacity - it's too small at times. I almost had to break off combat because I ran out - target rich environments will do that for you. Fortunately, Alpha had a full load, so when the next Hessian lost his ship to our fire - I got some bats and shields back up.

We used this as practice for wingman combat - if both pilots concentrate on the same target, it's GOING to go down quicker. When it was all said and done, I know I had 10 Hessian and Corsair pilots in my cargo bay to drop off with authorities.
