Since the Prix first opened fire on us, less than an hour and a half has passed in-game, by the way.
It seems Aryla havent updated officer designations, am I still on ESN Agressive? Also is Aryla back in home on Earth thus making me highest rankig officer ?
Rear Admiral Edzako is the ranking officer in the Wolf 294 system, and is directing the battle from the Flag Bridge on board the Command Cruiser ESN John Paul Jones.
Alice has repaired her Fighter's last damaged missile launcher, in time for the next sortie. She now has three fully functional launchers, just like the other ten Fighters.
... of course, this means that I won't be able to track her hits separately from the rest, any more.
Granite and Basalt have picked up the first of the ejected crew from the life-pods. I will post a report later on which Pilots were found alive in the battle area.
EDIT: It has just occurred to me... that Alice's two disabled missile launchers (now fully repaired) are the only launchers in our Fighter's weaponry that were never fired. They were disabled by enemy fire before the attack-run, and not repaired until she landed again on the Carrier. So at the moment, and until the Fighters finish reloading 21 1/2 minutes from now, Alice has the only fully functional and fully loaded missile launchers in our whole Fighter wing. If we are forced into battle before the other Fighters can finish reloading, she may end up making a solo attack run on the fleet of Prix Cruisers.
Sweet!
(I want to request Gröfaz to consider promotion of enigmatic Lt-Commander Alice Bryant, she seems to be kissed by fire and therefore lucky)
I'm sure you know who your flagship is named after... "I have not yet begun to fight!"
Look up the Bonhomme Richard vs HMS Serapis engagement.
I was thinking that she should be the first nPC to receive the Order of Paradox, actually. Possibly we might have a future warship called the ESN Alice Bryant as well.
I do and will do.
Order of Paradox does seems to fit better, good call. After all we wouldnt want to lose so skilled fighter pilot.
What is out range again (adjusted for ECM)? My standard missiles have about a 16-18m range.
Isn't keeping her in a fighter one of the most certain ways of losing her? Our fighter pilot survival rate has not been impressive wince this engagement started.
