Today in an effort to disrupt the hated SF, i proceed on a flyby of the
BS Norfolk. There i ran into a SF gunboat. I took down his shields, upon which he fled to the planet Cambridge. I pursued as he seemed to be weak. Unfortunately, he put his gunboat into port, and commandeered a Liberty Carrier. As if that was not enough, the Talarca LC Croatia joined in the attack on the side of the SF. Then a Liberty Dreadnought or cruiser (i didnt see much of it) came to the uneeded aid of the SF and their companions.
As i had initiated combat, retreat was not an option. I was able to last long into the fight, but in the end i had 1 turret left, no bats, bots, thruster, shield, or hull strength. I powered up my cruise engine and prepared to sacrifice the body for our cause. I headed straight for the SF BS, but i did not event dent the shields. As luck would have it a friend of mine in the corsairs was doing a flyby, and picked up my pod and brought to Cadiz to get a replacement ship. At this time i contacted RX7 or some such name, that had offered help earlier but did not reach the battle quickly enough, to help me retaliate for my earlier defeat. We converged on the planet for our assault, and ran into the same ships. RX7 drew off the 2 battle ships (he was in a huey), so i could attack the talarca. I had its shield about half way down, but it had ample bot and bat support. I on the hand did not, due to my shield being stripped near instantly. I was able to carry on the battle using retreat and attack tactics, and might have defeated the cruiser, but 1 of the SF allied liberty ship broke off with RX7 and came to my location. I did not stand a chance. However, i was able to damage the shield of the Talarca before a missile volley fllowed by battle razors crippled my gunboat.
This time i had arranged for a corsair to tractor me in. I got passage from Cadiz to Freidstadt, and then hitchhiked with a hessian to KReiesburg Depot to get a replacement vessel.
Currently i am on my way back to Cadiz Base, to refuel and wait ofr an opportune time to re-attack the SF, or the SCRA.
