DAY 28

log ID: Jake "Chief" Rolefs

opening log:

First real fight for me as substitute commanding officer. one of our dessie encountered a corsair Legate. it was just sitting there. normally we wouldn`t bother with it. but this one had hunters on board. the Legate remainend silent untill the Boneyard opened up on her after several attempts at communication.

we joined in and let rip. the new energy efficient turrets seem to help a lot. we do have less firepower now though. I expected Aron to flip out at the thought of having less firepower. but he was the one who cooked up the idea. seems to work though...

the battle was won with only minor damage to the hull.

one of the gunners took a shot of the last moments of the Guardia.

Misery will be back in charge from tomorrow on. don`t know if I should be happy or depressed about that. less guitar noise to make me go nuts, but more risk of getting blown up.

note to self: thank Aron for his help commanding in the last sortie, and take seat closest to the escape hatch fom now on.

DAY 28

log ID: Aron "Biggunz" Swordsmith

opening log:

great. the new turrets seem to work. they have a lower power output, and thus less range and power, but the reactor is coping better with em. we can fire about 40% more folleys before the reactor is drained.

I hate to admit it, but less firepower seems to work out quite well. hell, the main gun was able to fire an extra shot due to the power left in the core. pretty sweet. Jake seems to be one fine captain. I feel for him, being stuck on this tub. oh well, he`s the reason we`re still alive today. I`d hate to see him leave one day.

end of log.
