Greetings all, just making my after-action report.
The day started with our rather glorious and well-awaited return to the forefront, with our massive victory over the Liberty Navy's forces at the battle of West Point.
But after that action settled down, and we all had a chance to sit back, relax, re-arm and restock our vessels, [HF]-Blue.Dove and I decided to go on a little patrol of our own.
After undocking from the cramped quarters of the Liberty Rogue Destroyer in New York, [HF]-Blue.Dove was immediatly approached by and LNS gunboat. After a brief exchange of hostile words, [HF]-Blue.Dove engaged the gunboat, and bravely destroyed the vessel on her own, waving off an offer of assistance from myself. But then the call for assistance came from a friendly outcast, quazar.
He, and an unnamed Scimitar, were being engaged by another LNS Gunboat, a Liberator light fighter, and a Bounty Hunter Gunship. We quickly dispatched the LNS ship, and then [HF]-Blue.Dove arrived on the scene to assist with taking down the missile happy gunship.
Then, we had to ditch our fighters, and noticing a lone [LN] gunboat in Texas who was giving "traders" a tough time, we went to investigate. [HF]-Blue.Dove managed to coax the gunboat into leaving its post, and allowing the "traders" a way to Planet Houston.
After that, we met up with another Outcast, this time in a Crow, by the name of Cursed[X]Ship. [HF]-Blue.Dove and i decided to attack a large target of opprotunity, the [LN]-LNS-Arizona, a LN Dreadnought in orbit over Manhattan. We were originally planning on just going in and doing as much damage as we could, then bugging out, but we stuck it through to the end. Quazar managed to land the finishing blows to the Arizona's reactor shielding, lighting the Manhattan spacelanes with debris from the destroyed ship.
Feeling the need to sacrifice another one of their precious capital ships, the LN then sent in gunboat, LNS-Milford. After crazy dodging and superb aim, [HF]-Blue.Dove managed to land the final supernova bolt to destroy the Milford.
At that point, we decided to break and engage targets at will, which we did to great effect, killing 4 more LN fighters, while only loosing Cursed[X]Ship, whose ship was destroyed in a hail of laser and missile fire.
After that, it was decided we needed a much wanted drink from the rather small bar on the Liberty Rogue Destroyer.
So that concludes my first full day as a member of the Hellfire Legion, and i must say, first kill of bagging a Carrier, and helping destroy a Liberty Dreadnought in a almost suicidal mission? Sounds just like what i was thinking of when i signed up!
