I took out my Insurgent today to get the feel for the ship again. It's been too long since I've gotten into the cockpit. As I was on patrol, flying through the superstructure of Zhukovsky, Sub-Lt. Alvin Katz came online, taking his new Partisan on a shake-down cruise. I decided this was a good time to evaluate the young Katz's skills. Lt. Molotov joined in his Insurgent, then took advantage of the extended training session to take out his Revolution bomber as well. We three held several training exercises, and each pilot (including myself) learned valuable tactics to put forth for the Red Dawn.
Sub-Lt. Katz had to leave after a few sessions, and Molotov left as well, both having to finish some reports. I took the time to switch from my Insurgent to Natalia. She is still a good ship, and responded like I never left. She was ready for action as well. I took my Revolution on a short trip through the Omegas. Long Range scans showed that the Mentira was in Omega 3, no doubt harassing civilians.
Natalia and I flew through Omega 5, buzzing Cadiz and dodging patrols, and launched through the Omega 3 Jumphole, hot on the tail of the Mentira. As we cleared the Jumphole however, a strange Praetorian was waiting on the other side. The apparent Corsair, named HAZ-R-Abaddon, was spouting something incomprehensible to me, then all I heard was "SCRA GAY" and poured Antimatter into the sorry fool. He didn't last long, and Natalia had her first kill.
I continued on toward Freeport 1, trading taunts with the OPG Mentira, and pulled close to the Freeport to discover something even worse, a BHG. Inexplicably, the BHG went after me as a Coalition freedom-fighter instead of the Corsair, even after I'd asked why he doesn't defend the people by taking care of the pirate. I flew Natalia around the huge ship while trying to discuss the finer points of target priority, and was appalled to see the ship fire on me when it was right next to the Freeport.
After several more minutes of "discussion", the Battlecruiser opened up on my bomber, and I was forced to retaliate. Natalia and I danced with the Battlecruiser for several minutes, I unloading several rounds of tachyon-encased fury into the Bounty Hunter's shields, it was clear that no matter how long we fought, Natalia and I were no match for the huge Battlecruiser, so we broke off without incident and flew back to Omega 52.
I'd like the Bomber wing to keep a few rounds of antimatter for the [CRO]="KOBRA" , that ship needs to disappear from the Omegas.
