During a patrol in Kyushu I received a distress call from a Gaian who I had previously encountered on several patrols. Apparently there was a wing of BAF fighters in Tau-31. I immediately headed to that system, confirming along the way that a number of KNF Samurai fighters as well as a couple friendly fighters were in the system as well.
Our forces were slightly out numbered however I was having trouble with my targeting computer and did not feel that I would be able to accurately target the enemy if I did engage. The battle continued for some time and I ultimately decided that I must assist despite the continued targeting problems.
The battle continued for some time with neither side gaining the upper hand until my shields were finally knocked out and several missiles did significant damage to my hull. I attempted to pull back from the fight but it was too late and several of the fighters opened fire on my Chimaera. I immediately ejected and my fighter was destroyed. Fortunately we were in the area of the Battleship Yamaguchi and I was able to successfully navigate to the battleship and my pod was retrieved.
Well, at least I'll have a new targeting computer.
