Fleiger Jakob D. Metzger reporting.

Quite an exciting day today! I was stationed at the Moselle earlier today, working on a software issue with my Wraith (the guncam is malfunctioning... again) when I received a high priority alert re: a raid into the Texas system. I taped up the wires in my cockpit and kicked the dash closed, jumped in and made way to Planet Hamburg. Once there, a large fighter force assembled, but half went away to deal with reports of multiple Corsairs in Omega-7. I held back with Keller and one other piloten to wait for the push into Hudson. After serveral minutes I was distracted again by this pesky software issue and started to work on my system again. Unfortunately, I had unplugged the fuse which also kept my comms system up, and missed the initial wave into Liberty. When I looked up and saw noone there, I plugged all my stuff back in and hailed the team. They were already into Texas!

I immediately made haste towards Texas, and when I entered the system I went through the jumpgate. I encountered an LPI force, and stated that I wished to simply turn around. He allowed me to return to Hudson, at which I flew to the jump hole, flew above the plane, and regrouped with the force above the NY trade lane.

Immediately afterwards we engaged Liberty. We were a fighter swarm of, I beleive, 8 fighters, and immediately gained the upper hand, and held it for several hours. Our incursion was successful, but unfortunately, Weissman ejected. He was the only piloten we lost. When Liberty forces had been beaten down to three "flyboys" our Admiral Rall gave them the opportunity to retreat, which they foolishly declined, and we commenced to make mincemeat out of them. I would say the whole ordeal took around two hours.


I helped with many kills, but did not receive any to my name. And unfortunately, with my guncam down, I don't have any footage of the confrontation. This will no longer be an issue, as I am going to spend the rest of my night reinstalling the software on board.

For Rheinland
