My first patrol was pretty eventful.
I started off the day easily, scanning passing ships and transports. However, I was very quickly called to duty as a passing Navy ship began talking about Rhineland ships. After that, the Navy was on a wild goose chase until presence was confirmed in Texas. I then met up with the LNS Bein and we rendezvous'd with the rest of our makeshift fleet.
We then regrouped at the Battleship Mississippi, all of us sitting there. Out of no where, Rhineland capital ships and cruisers began closing in on our position. We lost the Phoenix, the Cata, the California, and the rest of the fleet before I decided to hightail it home to NY. Guncam on my escape here. After reaching the jump gate, a thought in my head had gone off, telling me to go back and help the fighters destroy as many caps as possible. But then I realized, that was an LSF agent.
I flew back, assisted in the destruction of a capital ship, and promptly was gunned down by RM fighters. The LSF agent pulled me in as they retreated and flew off toward Norfolk, where a new Liberator was awaiting me. Man, we go through these new Liberators like TIE fighters, eh?
I then scanned some passerbys. I found a Freelancer ID'd man flying in a Defender. Well, he didn't even HAVE an ID. I fined him 1 million, and then was told he didn't have the money. I promptly pointed him to Manhattan to buy a StarTracker or another ship in his price range, and slapped him on his wrist with my handy ruler. I returned to Ft. Bush for a coffee and doughnut break.
When I got back, a ship IFF'd as a Rhineland Police officer came storming through in a Heron. After not replying to our questions multiple times, Rivers and I called for assistance from the LNS Flare Fire and took him out, collecting furs and dropping them off into Newark Station. I then attempted to treat the officer to coffee and doughnuts, but he declined.
After I undocked from Ft. Bush, I went to Manhattan, responding to a distress call from the LNS Braveheart. Several Liberty Rogue Bombers were harassing him and the Phoenix, and I engaged the trio of bombers with Samm and Rivers. I don't remember their call signs, but they were .Torpedo men. We quickly dispatched these bombers, but the Braveheart sustained heavy damage. I had hit Long Island with a few bursts of Vengeance, and they fired on me. Needless to say, a passerby picked me up and dropped me of on Manhattan, where a mechanic fixed me up.
Later on, I spotted a LPI-IFF'd transport with a Navy ID holding Gaian Wildlife in a BorderWorlds transport. After 5 minutes of him not responding, the LNS Trinidad opened fire and destroyed the transport. We donated the 895 Gaian animals to the Manhattan Zoo.
Later on again, a distress signal was given from the Braveheart. The Torpedoes were back, and I assisted. A nearby Reaver and several pirates, including an Outcast Gunboat, gunned me down. I flew back to Fort Bush disappointed.
Finally, I got out of Fort Bush when the lazy Mechanics fixed me up. There was a massive Outcast Dreadnought attacking the LNS Trinidad, and fired on it until it recieved heavy damage and landed on Manhattan. The mans name was Monty, and he quickly diverted his gunfire onto me. I hightailed it back to Fort Bush and signaled a Navy patrol to deal with it. When they asked me to go with them, I replied "Forget it, I've been destroyed too many times today. I'm going on my Union Mandated Break" and landed on Fort Bush, where I am writing this useless report.
Tal out.
