mission 12 - rush to the aid of a comrade. No one seems to ever rush to our aid...
Megaman gets a stealth gunship. Muahahaha gets a fighter killer. Char13mange gets a fast stealth bomber. Metal Militia returns in a super drone (good luck with that one).
There is the ship we are rushing to save - a seriously tooled up multirole fighter. Better catch up with it and form a screen then.
We sweep past it and from into a wide line, shadowing its retreat. As the turns go by, our ships are getting increasingly isolated, so Megaman orders the squadron to form tight near the stranded ship. Char13mange decided this order means "ram asteroids really hard in reverse". Whilst funny, this didnt really achieve very much at all.
Then, CONTACT!
An enemy heavy gunship gives away the position of at least one squadron. No shots are exchanged as they are searching for the high value asset - we are nothing to them. A second squadron is uncvered by Muahahaha, and it might be the last thing he ever does...
The inevitable occurs.
RIP Muahahaha. We really need to start landing some hits on the enemy. To this end, Metal Militia initiates a game of chicken. Megaman adds 2 missiles of his own to make it more fun.
Byebye enemy drone. While this is occuring, the shp we are protecting takes refuge in an asteroid cluster. CHar13mange decides to hang back there with him, just in case.
Having got one kill, Megaman and Metal Militia go for another.
Metal Militia's missile hits messing up the gunships frontal shields. Megaman's missiles miss, so tries another 2.
One of these hit, and badly damage the gunship. It elects to hyperspace out. Megaman turns his attention to the second enemy gunship.
2 hits damage him but not badly enough to incapacitate the ship.
This attracts the attention of the gunships squadmates, who declare they do not like Megaman very much.
These missiles were easy for Megaman to avoid, and he gets off 2 more of his own at that stubborn gunship.
BOOM.
Oh, also: BOOM. Nice one Metal Militia.
Right, whats left to kill? Oh, nothing. They all ran away.
Well, other than the death of Muwahahaha that went well. Metal Militia survived in the suicide seat and got himself a kill. 3 of 4 ships make it home. Oh, and Megaman wins the second highest award possible (MoOC) and is fast tracked to Major. Epic win.
