Use your battleships to fight Kusari, not Lane Hackers.
Otherwise they will get laughed at and eventually destroyed. Good luck in fighting the war with one less.
The Hackers were about to escort a very helpful Molly Destroyer back to Dublin.
Unfortunately, they were detected by HMS Churchill, Bretonian Battleship. The two fighters pulled back immediately. Surprisingly, Churchill continued to pursue them no without regard to absolutely anything. Its captain was insanely careless or just insane to jump in the middle of nowhere, into the fields of The Barrier.
Let this be a warning to all pilots and especially capital ship commanders: The Barrier is not a place where you want to be.
The Bretonian flying brick even set course for Mactan. We could not allow that to happen. Three minutes later, the Dunkirk class battleship was taking heavy damage from Molly, Outcast and Hacker vessels. All fighter-class ships opened up with Inferno cannons, followed by gunboats. Churchill's shields were failing. Bombers were poking such holes through the ship with antimatter that you could see right through. Successive hits by heavy infernos were crippling its electrical systems. Due to faulty guidance of one of the disruptor missiles, the Churchill managed to execute an emergency jump back to Leeds. However, the risky jump has damaged its engines. Further CD misfire was out of the question at the edge of the smog cloud and even further in open space. We ripped off what was left of its shield generator and I sent it back to hell with a last antimatter blast resulting in explosive decompression on all decks.
The remains of the ship have drifted towards Planet Leeds. Fortunately for the citizens the orbital crews were able to intercept all parts of the debris big enough that they wouldn't burn in the atmosphere. There is one exception to that. The computer core was not and will never be recovered. Before the pirate group returned safely to The Barrier, it smashed all electrical and optronic nodes to bits. The BAF are not getting the location of our base today, or any other day.
