My plans to test the old girl against Navy patrols on the periphery were cut off by a substantial dose of someone else's stupidity. Turned out to be a pretty worthwhile cut off, since Crayter throwing everything every which way at us gave us plenty of things to test her prowess on.
Stress testing showed she's not as spry as she was back in the day, but in a straight battle, she's more than capable of holding her own. Armor's not as good as I'd like, but not bad either. Held up against sustained damage, but knocked some of the internals around. Not a hard fix, but annoying to do over and over again.
Might have her as best as we can, right now. Not great, but workable, and certainly enough to get those Crayter schmucks to think twice.
West, out.

Another good deployment today, and really showing off that lattice rework. Think we might've finally found her sweet spot.
Naval engagement in Vespucci alongside a Hessian raiding party. A good test of the old girl's endurance, and not even a single scratch to speak of. Even smacked down that hipster with his fancy ship. Wonder if we can snag one of 'em for the boys down in R&D. Be a hell of a morale booster to prop one of 'em up for battle.
I've still got some plans in store for the old girl down the line, but I'm really liking her where she is. Swift, yet stubborn.
She's definitely in a good place, and putting in the good work like always.
Man, I love my job.

Finally!
Don't know what the hell I did with the lattice this time around, but the ship's finally returning the right signals. IFF marker's still a bit fuzzy, but hopefully that'll buff out with either a few more passes through the screen, or maybe a holospanner to the case.
Either way, the old girl's all pumped and ready to sing.
West, out.
