This is recruit Rick Lape, Callsign "Alte.Kamerade". Engaged hostile target (my imaging hardware malfunctioned, so names are unavailable at this point), and put up a valiant fight before falling to Hostile.
I regret to inform it was due to inferior equipment.
I am putting in a formal request for an improvement on equipment. If I can almost take out a Slipstream fighter solo, no assist, with no armor upgrades, inferior shielding and weaponry, and as a rusty pilot, imagine what I can do in a properly outfitted vessel.
I wish to also put in a FUTURE (Not right now) application for a Cruiser once my rank has reached sufficient level. I used to pilot a Liberty Cruiser for a while as a Mercenary ((Yep, before the IDs changed, back in 4.83)), and would be highly eager to pilot one for the Liberty Navy. I am an expert at flying such vessels, and can aim the forward cannon on the cruiser very well. Within a week of piloting, I can guarentee you a captain onboard that you wouldnt regret. But that is for later.
