Subject: Success on the modified Fearless ZCV-Bululu
Hello Daniel,
I'm back from vacation now. It wasn't exactly relaxing, but it was worth it!
The tests on the ZCV-Bululu are now complete.
I gained valuable experience patrolling with Lieutenant Alex Russel from the 34th Hades Brigade.
The number of Solaris turrets was reduced from six to four to free up two slots for a flak turret, which can defend against torpedoes, and a pulse cannon, which can disable the shields of smaller caps.
Further tests showed that the pulse cannon was ultimately superfluous because the Desolator Missiles used against the snubs also effectively disabled the shields of smaller caps. Therefore, the pulse cannon was replaced with a second flak turret to defend against incoming torpedoes from all directions.
There were a few encounters with smaller Corsair formations that ended disastrously for them.
ZCV-Bululu is a real force against snubcrafts, and its strength is evident in the way it takes down its opponents. It also can defend itself against smaller capital vessels.
The prototype will remain with Militant Zoner groups in the Omicrons for the time being and will be transferred to the Phoenix fleet at a later date. However, the Phoenix fleet has access to the cruiser's resources at any time.
By the way, I saw Karen this morning, and she has really blossomed like a fresh flower. Is there a particular reason for this?
