Mission 6 Update (Contains mild peril)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

OK, mission 6. this sounds attractive...



but i am no fool. i know that you keep your best troops near your high value assets. time to go get exploded!

I take a light fighter. Glyphgryph gets a scout. Euchrejack gets a worse than nothing drone. Shadowdump joins us in another light fighter. megaman debuts in a megadrone.

we drop into a sector that defines "too quiet". ordered to set a search pattern, we spread out.

contact... light fighter and drone dead ahead.



DO IT FOR BOSKI MEN!

we form into a pincer, myself from the south, euchrejack and megaman from the east...



but score no hits. turn and chase lads...

i line up a shot at a light fighter...



and space seems to fill up with missiles. we all take evasive action. Euchrejack buys the farm, and my missiles kill the light fighter. there is somthing out there we cant see that is big and well armed. we all continue to dodge and weave as the missile hell dissipates. wel, everyone other than shadowdump, who doges into a missile, and is vapourised.



we circle and regroup. no doubt out of sensor range the enemy is doing the same.


we make another pass on thier suspected position, and boy are we in trouble. thats 2 heavy bombers and a gunship against my light fighter, glyphgryphs scout and megamans drone.



a few pot shots are exchanged as we circle for position... until glyphgryph decides ramming the heavy bomber is a good idea. actually, it is, as now i can shoot at it. this doesnt have the desired effect as i actually hit glyphgryph, scoring a green on green as he ejects. megaman gets off a shot against the enemy gunship and kills him stone dead, takes a hit in the process but hangs on in there.




it all calms down as bote us and the enemy jostle for firing positions. i get a good one, sneaking up behind the heavy bomber which is having fun shooting at glyphygryphs burning hulk...



2 rounds dont kill it. another 2 might. megaman is rushing to the same target...

bah, they dont even scratch it. now i need to get out of its firing line. this i dont do very well, take a shitload of hits, lose all my systems, and drift burning towards that bloody heavy bomber. i am dead if i dont eject. i might be dead if i do.



again i defy the odds and escape in my pod. outnumbered and outgunned, megaman retreats and lives to fight another day.

mission summary: well, we didnt kill the enemy politician. i bagged a light fighter. glyphgryph made it home. Euchrejack and shadowdump didnt. Megaman was a star, killing an enemy drone and a gunship, and won a medal of honor.

[SHAD0Wdump]

I demand cloning!

I didn't even get a shot off...

[MonkeyHead]

ok, shadowdump's clone added at bottom of roster. lets say some of your intestinal tract stuck to megamans viewscreen...

[SHAD0Wdump]

Also... No end of mission screen? You got a missile up your butt-crack didn't ya?

[MonkeyHead]

nah i survived. the game deletes saves the instant a death occurs so i couldnt pull that one off. i clicked through it without thinking instead of taking a screengrab.

[SHAD0Wdump]

nah i survived. the game deletes saves the instant a death occurs so i couldnt pull that one off. i clicked through it without thinking instead of taking a screengrab.

So you plan to save scum or something?

[MonkeyHead]

nope -  when im dead im dead and ill play on with someone else as squad leader.

[Mr.Person]

Sign me up in the slowest ship possible, although it might be a few missions before I actually get to fly.

[MonkeyHead]

will do. might not take as long as you think, as we have hardly covered ourselves in glory so far.

[IronyOwl]

Man, these warcrimes are never as easy as they're supposed to be.

[MonkeyHead]

well, not quite as easy as killing all those trainees a few missions back.

[IronyOwl]

Even that one required a 2/3 ejection rate.

...was that your only successful mission...?

[MonkeyHead]

nah, we managed to defend the fuel depot as well, despite losing 2 out of 3 ships and having one run away...

no wonder i havent been promoted yet.

[EuchreJack]

EuchreJack is immortal. 
Ah death!  What a pleasant feeling!  But don't despare, he'll be back before you know it!
Though his ship was destroyed, he is reforming in the cosmos as we speak!

So, since EuchreJack is really immortal, how about placing me at the bottom of the roster, please?

Oh, and same setup as before.  Those drones are awesome!

[Tarran]

Sign me up. Give me a ship that will allow me to quickly destroy and then retreat from the enemies. If it's not possible to get both, then at least give me the former.
