Well sirs I finished outfitting my Upholder earlier today. She even got a trial by fire when I ran into an Outcast capital ship not far from my homeworld. She went down under a hail of novas with the support of several ships in the immediate area.
Later in the evening there was a rather lively patrol through Liberty. One of the first things we did was deal with a Corvo with Zoner markings in orbit of Manhattan, a ship that proved to be a might bit uncooperative and unfortunately landed under fire. I believe the higher-ups are putting together something to strip their docking clearance. Things got exciting after that though. Our flight ended up chasing a Rheinland spy ship throughout Colorado and New York. The ship initially surrendered but attacked when confronted by the LNS Mount Hood.
After that our ships went in for repairs and some pilots were treated for injuries. We proceeded to patrol the border at Texas. Sometime into our patrol, a Freelancer by the name of DuskEagle alerted us to the existence of a pirate ship which turned out to be a Hacker Gunboat. It was dealt with by Atlas and Wicks while me and Teerin guarded the border.
