Report Description
Good evening,
It's safe to say that today's patrol did not go as planned, and nor did it go well for that matter. Approximately two hours ago I was patrolling New York along with Captain Benson when we came across a Rogue bomber which the Captain proceeded to chase down while I remained behind, flying on the Defiance, one of the fleet's Condor-class gunboats.
After showing a second Rogue bomber the door away from Manhattan I thought it'd be time to go find the Captain and see what he's up to, but it wasn't. I saw something I definitely didn't expect to see outside Manhattan; a Nomad cruiser. I of course ordered the cruiser to leave Liberty space and it begun cruising towards a seemingly random direction, far from anything apart from the star in the center of the system.
At some point, the cruiser stopped and aimed it's weapons at me, I knew it'd end up coming down to an engagement and honestly this one's odds were fairly against me. Not only was it a -cruiser-, but it apparently also had the nomad equivalent of the human solaris-class weapons which are naturally highly effective against targets like gunboats.
Needless to say, the nomad took me down with ease, but it would seem that my objective to drive it out of Liberty was accomplished as the reinforcements that arrived - quite late - did not find any trace of it.
That is all.
Recommendations
At least one of the Condors belonging to our shared fleet should be equipped with non-light primary weaponry so as to be able to effectively combat larger ships, should the need arise.
