Grandmaster Simon here. I hope the channel remains strong for you all in the future. While I am the Grandmaster of the Alliance, I do not fear to fly out with my comrades and assist them in cleaning Liberty of the foreign menace. Sadly, such fear has led to the destruction of my ship today. The escape pod managed to escape the Navy clutches, and I sent out a distress signal to Ouray. A rescue ship came by and escorted me back to base.
I was patrolling around New York in search of any foreign transports, but instead I found a Navy patrol arising. Good timing, am I right? Anyway, I cloaked and ran away as fast as I could. A little while later I believed it was safe to keep patrolling. I kept making my rounds until I reached West Point. When I arrived, there was an ENTIRE Navy patrol there. And at the worst time, a Navy fighter was going through the trade lane. They exited out about 2,000m from me, close enough to cruise disrupt me. I set my afterburners on full power and dove into the Detroit field. They managed to catch up to me and opened fire on me immediately. I tried to cloak away, but they kept using cruise disruptors on me which messed up my cloaking device big time.
Sadly, they won the fight. I had to pay a lot of money to get a new ship, a Waran heavy bomber. But this time, I added a catch.
We are terrorists, so we're not afraid to sacrifice our ships in order to get things done. This Waran is armed with two Nova Torpedo launchers, which is capable of instantly destroying any fighter...at the cost of my own too. Here's how this will work.
I am armed with Hellfire Rockets. I can use these to breach the health of a transport, or heavily damage a fighter (since they miss too much). In the case I run out of ammo and they are too strong to be finished off by my energy cannons, I will attempt to cloak and run. If I am unable to do that, then this what I will do.
Charge into their face, launch the torpedoes, then a mine, then a cruise disruptor. The disruptor missile will cause the mine to detonate, which will blow up the torpedoes, which will then blow up everything else. It's a kamikaze tactic that I will only use as a last resort effort. Don't worry, I have my automated fighter system programmed to do this on demand. If I'm quick enough, I can immediately run to my escape pod before the ship explodes. Then, I just have to pray I don't get captured.
If any of you are not sure about yourself in combat, I advise you to arm yourself up in the same way. No Xeno should die in vain.

Grandmaster Simon here. That went badly. A massive Bretonian convoy (carrying a bunch of crumpets probably) came through Liberty. The decided to take the grand tour of our house, which surely made me angry. About 20 minutes of stalking later, I meet them in Ontario. I put my fisty cuffs up, and prepared for an attack. I attempted to land a sneak hit on the transport by cloaking...but that didn't do much damage. Another bomber tried to come at me and I sort of pressed the wrong button...because I blew myself up with a Nova torpedo.
Remember cadets! Don't press the wrong button. Luckily my escape pod was picked up by a pal and I was transported to the hideout on Pittsburgh. I have to order a new ship sadly, but I'll be back soon.
