Hola assorted Zoners, here are the guncam shots of the weapons run itself. Superior SCRA forces had just decimated the Joker and the majority of his Thugs, so I broke away from the main engagement to initiate a bombing run on their home base.
With the majority of the defenders either destroyed or still preocupied by the continuing battle with the SCRA's aces, I successfully completed two seperate attack runs on various components of the station with my antimatter cannon.
Opening run on an exteroir docking module.
Secondary run strikes docking bay entrance.
For the Revolution!

I thought the Coalition didn't attack civilian installations. I didn't actually believe it, and now I definitely don't, but perhaps you could confirm this one way or the other, hm?
Would you attack, for example, Freeport 2 because of a disgruntled freelancer that lives there getting fed up with your propaganda and hunting you down? Becuase that would be the same thing.

This is indeed a great victory for the Coalition and another nail in the Joker's coffin. This is even more victorious than my Farce at Toledo and my March to Crete. I applaud you all. I hope we can one day get on with our lives...

Barrier Gate forfeited its civilian status when it became a bastion for terrorists like the Joker, and enemy combatants like the Mandalorians.
No Harbour for these thugs shall be tolerated. And our weapons only targeted docking facilities and maintenance areas. Smashing the capacity for these evil men to continue to field their machines of terror!
Let this be a warning, the Terrorists will find no port safe,
So, now that no ships can dock on Barrier Gate, and since it takes weeks to repair a docking port or Hangar that heavily damaged, the people are either going to suffocate, starve, or die of dehydration.

Who is to say the civilians there even had a choice? We don't agree on the Mandalorians, but whatever your opinion of their ethics is, they're highly trained soldiers. If they demanded that the almost certainly unarmed dock workers fix their ships, under threat of violence, those workers wouldn't refuse unless they had a death wish. The Joker and his thugs don't have the training, but frankly they're outright insane - even if you do give them what they want they might still kill you, but it's safer than refusing.
I'm not saying this is what happened, I'm not saying it isn't. Frankly, once the Joker arrived, I left. The sooner he's shot, stabbed, electrocuted, poisoned, and incinerated, the better off Sirius is. But I'm not going to stand idly by while you attack a civilian base, and I frankly I can't find any explanation that doesn't paint you as shortsighted extremist hypocrites.
Would you bomb Manhattan if Mon'star was hiding out there, risking hundreds of millions of civilian casualties in the process? Would you destroy Freeport 1 because of a Corsair presence?
Were you lying before when you claimed to not attack civilians, or are you scrambling for excuses now that you have attacked a civilian station?
Have you not actually been to Coronado of late? Seen the fact that it is a haven for smuggling, gun running and terror? Oh right, you left it because the Joker ran you off.
Would I take any step needed to protect more innocent lives from terror? Without a doubt.
I have said before, terror is the weapon of the glory hound, not the weapon of the revolutionary. A pistol and a bomb are flashes in the pan, it takes sweat, barricades, and pitchforks to win hearts and minds.
We drew a line in the sand, today. And said no more.
There are those families on Freeport Five, who were not as lucky as you, who couldnt escape the Jokers death grip. I dare you to look them in the faces and tell them that this was a bad day.
No sir, you know this was right. And you also know Barrier Gate is no Civilian station.
I don t understand this.
You say the Joker is a terrorist and attack a civilian base.
The view from the Coalition is a little bit small, ppppffff typical Communist.
Strong but nothing in the brain.
We say in Rheinland.
Thousand volt in the hands, but in the brain is nothing.
Enjoy this Coalition Terrorists, you are not better and not really a soldier.
