It was a good 4/5 hour long fight, my wrists hurt from dodging. Good fighting and roleplay all around.
If anyone was wondering why Regular BAF's where up there, We got a distress call from our Base and an Admiral currently up in that region.
I accepted the Suicide mission, was going to fly up there myself and actually fight, wasn't aware of any =CR= ships at the time.
But I have to agree with the OP. the Council ship was far outside of his ZoI and engaged in a conflict he shouldn't of been involved in. Council have their fight with the Gallia Royalists, and shouldn't meddle in the Tau-wars.
