Ahoy Gents,

Thanks to the help of the Intrepid a couple days back, I'm fully outfitted with an up-gunned Templar. I ran a pile of missions for the BAF and finally, after killing over 100 enemy fighters, earned a BAF ID transponder.

Fast forward to this message minus 15 minutes and you'd find me in Tau-31 stalking Kusari shipping. I popped a couple of transports then as I was heading back to the Leeds jump gate I ran into the beginnings of a rather large engagement. Half a dozen BAF fighters were intercepting a small Kusari interdiction squadron consisting of 2xChimera, 2xGB, and a DD.

The Chimeras were quickly dispatched and the Gunboats were soon holed as well. The Destroyer proved a bit harder to perforate, but in the end he too exchanged breathable air for cold hard vacuum. I didn't remember to switch on my gun pod until late in the fight, but here are a couple of stills from the footage:



Two more waves of Chimera came to reinforce the beleaguered cap ships, but they were too late to have any effect on the outcome. With only a handful of SBs remaining, I jumped back to Leeds and retired to the battleship Derby for a few rounds of Newcastle Ale.
