NovaPG today took the offensive against us.
Space was able to retrieve a replacement fighter and the Antarg joined him in Sigma 17 for an update.
NovaPG ships were detected on long range scanners moving through the outer Omicron reaches, so a return to Omicron Gamma seemed in order.
Our ships we met there by two NovaPG fighters and a Taidan bomber.
Electrical issues were plaguing us when the battle began, however one NovaPG fighter(Raven's Talon) took the full force of the Antarg's inferno and razor cannons, being instantly dispatched from the fight.
A brief solar flare caused electrical systems to shut down. When systems came online again, the battle was resumed.
Space fought very well as the two NovaPG ships were constantly double teaming him.
The targeting issues with the Antarg's tertiary turrets continued to be a problem and only moderate damage was inflicted on the encroaching ships.
The fighter pilots almost seemed to be fighting a lone battle and eventually a lucky shot was able to knock Space out of the battle. An [HF] ship offered support which was accepted.
The Antarg was able to make use of the solar corona to cause minor damage to the NovaPG ships and to get out of range. The [HF] ship soon arrived and engaged the enemy and the fight resumed.
A message over universal coms "do not play" was perhaps misinterpreted and the opposing ships disengaged from combat, with both sides having sustained considerable damage.
(OOC: Space, please don't take the comments made seriously. RP tends to include some taunting.
You are a great flyer, valued member of SCRA and will be missed if you decide to leave the server. I think with another fighter or gunboat there instead of a Frigate, we would have been able to win, instead of just draw.:))
