There are not too many occasions when an LPI officer has the chance to defend Liberty against the most foul of creation--The Nomads. Yet today, I was able to not only engage the squiddy, but come out on top.
This nasty jelly's space vehicle was named Keepers.Quingo*. When I began my patrol, I spotted it pitched in battle with a gentleman named John.Shepherd, a Navy Guard Pilot, if I'm not mistaken. I backed off a bit and let them go one on one...I mean, I know how these navy boys are about their kills. Very obsessive. I actually thought that Mr. Shepherd would prevail in the fight, but alas, his ship was destroyed by the awesome might of the Nomad.
After Mr. Shepherd went down, I immediately engaged the Nomad. I soon discovered that I was in the wrong ship, a bomber. That Jelly was dancing all around me. I began evasive maneuvers and managed to dodge some of its fire, but it was beginning to wear me out. Two other ships assisted me: an Agent named Michael.King and Telluric, but the Nomad's fire was going straight toward my slow Roc bomber.
I fired off nukes, I deployed SNACS, I did everything I could think of it to get it off my arse. Finally, I had enough of that ship's agilitly. As it danced all around me, I waited till it got behind me, reverse thrusted and presto. That Squid was right in front of me. A quick trigger sent my SNAC busting through all it's shields and leaving it's hull within a hair of rupturing.
That hit must have crippled the ship something terrible, cause seconds later Telluric finished it off for the kill. That Nomad got sent to Nomad Heaven in a ball of fire.
