Sorry for the postponement of these reports, but I was sidetracked by some unavoidable circumstances (Cincinnati Reds vs Cardinals game). Not much special, but reported it will be. I arrived on the scene in my fighter to find the HF in battle with one of the SCRA fighters. An sso| was also present, and due to his assistance in dealing with the SCRA, we spared him from a proper 'introduction.' I must commend Aralie for keeping the enemy pilot occupied, even while his own weaponry was inferior to the SCRA's, and furthermore, keeping his ship intact. After a time, the SCRA was eventually destroyed. Last shot was to be claimed by the sso| fighter present, though all three present could claim a portion of that kill.

Later our allies the HF, as well as I, tracked down a pair of SCRA pilots, grouped with their new allies, the TBH. Grouped, regardless of SCRA's stance of hating pirates more than anyone else in this universe. Winning comes above dignity I guess.

The SCRA fighter tracked by the HF grouped up with yet another SCRA fighter and a TBH gunboat in New London. The HF fighter and gunboat engaged the TBH gunboat near the Leeds Jump Gate portion of New London, as I engaged both SCRA fighters at Southampton.

I quickly dispatched the SCRA Eagle. The SCRA's Eagle pilots are obviously not trained to the same standards as our own. Shortly before the destruction of the first SCRA, the HF fighter and GB defeated the TBH gunboat, and made its way towards Southampton. The second fighter, Ares, proved no more skilled in dodging than Ivan did. However, every time his shield was removed, he hit his thrusters as high as he could, and took off towards the shipyards to fly in circles until the shield had recharged. He continued in this manner until the HF arrived. However, even with this, the HF gunboat lacked missiles, and thus, lacked the ability to kill the SCRA as he was shield-thrusting, and I couldn't hit him at 700 meters with him jumping like a rabbit. Throughout the engagement, I had received no hull damage, and still possessed a full load of my bots and batts.

Soon a second HF gunboat arrived, this one laden down with missiles that were put to good use. The SCRA could not stand up to the amount of laserfire thrown by two fighters and a gunboat, while simultaneously dodging missiles. He attempted, however. Both missiles and lasers striked home, and the first HF gunboat scored the kill.

Nothing else happened later that day, except for some training between the HF, with me present as well. Some fighter vs capital ship simulations, as well as dogfighting ones. I have found Aralie to be a worthy pilot, who was able to batter my shields down multiple times on head-to-head passes, even with inferior, and level 9 weaponry. A loadout that lacked any form of shield buster. I won, but he didn't make it as easy on me as I would have thought. My fighter is still stationed in Vespucci and will aid HF in their fight against the SCRA and TBH. I'll also be offering training to their pilots while I'm here. And I believe Aralie could become quite dangerous with a little refining.
