This morning I was on patrol and saw a F.E.A.R. vessel tagged Outcasts, killing Navy ships. I asked him to stop and asked him to leave the system. He refused and I fired a volley across his nose and he engaged me. I'm sorry to report that it was a short fight and my fighter was crippled. I really need to get some more training. Also request an updated status with the FEAR. Adamson out.

I go for a few frakking days, and this reaches my desk?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?? If you have that many pilots, risk less expensive hardware and jump in your fighter. By the looks of things, you need the training!
Phelps has made it absolutely clear from his office (which I still have the spare key for) that it is unacceptable. The Battleborn is grounded. In large scale engagements with allies such as the LSF and the BSG, you use gunboats and fighters only. No Cruisers, No Battlecruisers and absolutely NO BATTLESHIPS.
DO NOT MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF!
Get some flight time in your damn fighters. Right now, I can beat all you rookie pilots with my eyes closed. The SA needs to steer itself away from capital ships, and use fighters more. Gunboats are more than enough to counter anything else the enemy have. I know this from personal experience.
So, unless an admiral says otherwise for a specific engagement, you use fighters and gunboats only. Nothing else. I don't care if the whole damn HF fleet gets to Califonia, gunboats and fighters only unless an admiral expressly says otherwise. The battleborn, and all ships cruisers and upwards apart from those belonging to admirals and the Bluenose (due to Captain Mitch Woods' exemplary flight record in a fighter) are grounded until further notice.

On the command deck of the BattleBorn.
"grounded until further notice".... Great :angry:

What the hell are you on man!?!?!?!?!?!? Don't you read the memo? F.E.A.R have been KOS for atleast ninety days, they keep it up and I'll bump them up to full scale war.

Pilots, since you seem to be in such dire need of it, Admiral Phelps has encouraged me to offer my services as a flight instructor, for anyone who finds the Avenger difficult to fly, which I can hardly understand.
You men are dismissing the best piece of military equipment in Sirius for pigs, and you insult the shipyards, your commanders, and yourselves by neglecting them.

After Action Report
Today, while patrolling in California, I encountered the HF-Karou, and engaged near planet Mojave. The weasel ran, and escaped out of my jurisdiction. I bloodied his nose, but altogether, the engagement was a failure.

Sir an ma am I wish to show my unhappiness with the "grounded until further notice" order . I feel high command as over look the Kress report . I know it's not my duty to put higher ups under the spot lights . I remember seeing some paper work with Admiral Phelps name on an saying something like "60% fighter cover". That would only leave us with 40% capital ship cover sir.. I wish not to see my men die in combat because of not enough capital ship cover sir .. Skills are big part in war but so is numbers an fire power
to make a point to Admiral Phelps with out taking my gloves off ... in your own words "-I'll bump them up to full scale war-"
fighter only sir ...? I sure in the h*** dont feel like getting knock around in this war.

I like how you worded that report, but I'll save admiral Robinson the trouble of a reply and do it myself. You don't feel like getting knocked around in this war huh? WELL I don't feel like wasting resources because the battleborn needs very expensive ones everytime she goes out. Your crew complains of your incompetence, and your lucky to still be here. yet I get reports of you complaining!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Do you wonder why after a long length of service you still hold your current rank? If so I urge you to read your report and see what helpful thing you've done in the war giving you the right to complain. Secondly if you 'worked' half as hard at fighter training as you did with trying to get me to change my mind you'd be downing every pilot in the Southern Alliance at once! I've yet to see such a performance so until then I will say it again.... The Battleborn is grounded! If you don't like it you know where the door is and don't let it hit you in the arse on the way out.
My Regard,
Admiral Phelps

-Did you get that memo...
I have the memo right here. Problem is I forgot this one time but they won't be in the system again till monday so its really not a problem.:P
My dear friends, family, and people I have to work with; we are gathered here today to celebrate the life and times of the capital ship. Once the mighty Liberty Dreadnaught was the ultimate in firepower and the pinnacle of Discovery achievment. Now she is no longer able to carry on that proud tradition. It is with heavy heart that we gather here to lay her to rest.... *Taps Plays*
Liberty Dreadnaught - 380 mil
Capital Ship Armor Upgrade and weapons - 45 to 250mil
Spending 600+ mil on a large bomber target that will just induce whining - priceless
Bottom line: Leave the dreadys at home and grab a Gunboat...
Thor
I see you know your history.
