This is Star Captain Dagon.
It's good to be able to spread my wings a bit in Liberty again,
after that whole 'debriefing' after i returned from Gallia...
*Coughs*
Well. Got two good things to report from this 'pleasure' sortie.
One, got evidence of LPI's finest being in their natural state, corruption.
Two, wacked three Navy boyos in my Beta-3 bomber.
Got out of Ouray, and was heading back to America to replace my turret, since it was malfunctioning, and met
a pirate that was camping the lanes. Transponder Name: Anna.Prentice, Pirate ID
After an one on one 'talk' , she ran without regens, and guess what..
She ran into an LPI bubba.. Which replenished her supply. Transponder Name: LPI|Winston.Smith, LPI ID
After fighting the two of them, the Maelstrom showed up and lit the LPI on fire.
As i resumed my travels, i contacted the pirate by a private comm link and recorded the whole talk.
Then, i returned to Ouray to rest for the night, when a call for a bomber sortie was issued.
I quickly grabbed the Beta-3 bomber, and head out with Beta-2 and Beta-5.
The scramble intel targets consisted of an 36th Liberty Dreadnought Vessel, a Sarissa Outcast Capital Vessel and an unknown Hacker Spyglass Class Vessel, squaring it out near Planet Manhattan.
As we got there, the Outcast Capital and the Spyglass were already taking a beating from the combined lawful forces.
Afterwards, the Outcast got blown to pieces, the Spyglass Vessel exited the scene while me and the remaining Betas attacked the Liberty Dreadnought. Transponder Name: LNS-Feathered.Pond|36th
Transponder Name: Venture (Spyglass)
Transponder Name: MNS-Oblivion
With that, i ordered the withdrawal of our forces since we were outnumbered, and with the Navy Fighter force present there, our bombers would be short work.
Beta-2 was under attack at the time, so i drew fire to give him a chance for escape, which was brilliantly executed, except for the part that i was alone and pinned there.
So, i did what a 'naire could do. I swallowed my fear whole, and pushed that Broadsword to it's limits. Transponder Name: [LN]-James.Flinte
Transponder Name: [LN]-Robert.West
Transponder Name: [LN]-Jack.Malrone
Three they were and three were put down.
Even Admiral Malrone.
As i scored the third kill of the night, i took the chance of the surprise and evaded the remaining units,
heading back to Ouray in that half-broken Broadsword.
Legionnaires Lost: 0
Liberty Navy Lost: 3
Outcast Navy Lost: 1 (Capital)
P.S.: I need a new bomber. Broadswords are crap, Warans are bricks, Rocs ain't gonna cut it and i ain't gonna fly a Mafic for kicks and giggles.
