Pilot Archive

Last night I decided I would lay my life on the line for the rebellion. I had not joined the ranks of pilots who had destroyed an Imperial Star Destroyer, but I got a report that one was lurking in Deepspace, attempting to engage our space station there. I loaded up my Bwing with an Ion cannon right under my butt, 2 disruptors (one on each wing) and a good blaster at the foot of my ship. I loaded my space bomb launcher and a concussion launcher should I encounter fighter reisistance. I head out to Deepspace.

Hyper in near Freedom Station, I have about a 10km flight to get near the ISD. about 2/3 of the way there I am jumped by 5 Tier 5 TIE interceptors. I am able to take 2 down on the initial joust using my exceptional guns and a couple concussion missiles. Tail a third and lay it to waste. I am swinging around to take the 4th one when all of a sudden BAM!! my rear sheilds are down to about 15%. I hit my scanner, I have a player decimator on my butt, where did he come from? In my tunnel vision on the TIE's I failed to keep my scanning up for players. I imediately use my capacitor shunt to help my rear sheilds and being as tight of a turn as I can execute while rolling to attempt to avoid the Decimator's turret fire. WHAM another shot on my hind end, rear shields are gone and my rear armor is down to 30%. One more direct hit on my backside and I am toast. I swing around just in time to see teh Decimator turning around the equator of my last maneuver making me unable to follow and perhaps easy lunch for his turrets.

I pull up slightly then roll to starboard and pitch down hard, I boost halfway thru this turn and starighten out, now on the bellyside of the Decimater. 600 m..safety, I yaw and roll port, pitch up and come about on her. She has rolled to put her top turret in a direct line with me. I roll my B so the length of her is parallel to the length of the decimator, 550 m, I open fire and boost toward her. She takes direct hits from all 4 of my cannons as I kamakaze toward her and begin to spin through her, KA-BLAMMO...the decimator is rubble, I speed right through her ala Wedge Antilles.

I imediately scan for more enemy craft. Got one a KSE Firespray 1600m, 1500m, he is closing, I shunt my cap. again to aid my cause. come about in the direction of the Firespray. 1000m visual contact and I line up with him. 550m, he opens fire, I roll and yaw a bit to starboard and pitch up, he misses, I pass him and we both boost out. 1200m, I guess we joust again. This time, I swing around so as to come in low, 500 m I open fire, axis of my ship perpendicualr to the axis of his, I pitch up and nail him twice with my blaster. Direct hits, I chew his front shields and armor to nothing and nail his engine to 25%. Easy pickings now. I swing around to see his nice large backside struggling to turn into me. I line up..700m, 600m, BAM!! I am hit again, front shields are at 10%. Who did that? 500 m on Firespray and my final salvo finishes him. Scan area, a TIE Advanced, now I am in trouble, completeky out maneuvered in my B wing, but its life or death, so I have to fly or die. He is already making his way to my back side. I shunt my capacitor again hoping to hang a bit while I try to fly this thing as fancy as possible. I pitch down and yaw to port, roll hard to starboard, and pitch back up and around, Advanced goes zingnig by firing blasters..he misses. I boost hard to give myself maneuvering distance, 1000m, Iyaw to port and roll starboard, then drop the yaw and pitch down hard. I come about in time with the Advanced at 600 m. I reinforce front shields and open fire while cutting diagaonally across his front side. My ion cannon gets a direct hit and his front shields are gone, then as I am swinging past him, my bottom blaster registers a hit as well. His front armor is gone and his reactor now at 60%. I boost away again, knowing I am likely to survive one more joust. He attempts to tail me, but boosts to much and I hit my brakes and pitch down hard just as I am decelerating through nominal turning speed with him at 150m, he goes whizzing by me. I throttle back up hard and pitch back up, I am now behind him 400m. I fire a full salvo he takes 2 direct hits and is toast.

scan for more players. none to be found. I resume course to the ISD and I am able to destroy its secondary shield and get its primary down to 2% before having to hyper out to dantooine for repairs. I come back and scan, still no enemy ships all the way to the ISD. I finsih off her primary shield, boost out, recharge shields, and come back in with a space bomb and take its engine. Another pass I have leveled its reactor but my armor is chewed through badly and I have lost my disruptors. I figure I will fight this one to the death, one more pass and a space bomb, plus a few blaster shots, I have blow her bridge to smithereens. She begins to destruct, I pull away and limp out of there just in time for another imperial pilot to show up. An agressor, well he has just hypered in and is getting his bearings, I can nail him before he knows whats up. He is 1300 m away, I turn, now only moving at half my max speed I close on him. He must be wondering why his mother ship is blowing up in front of him. 700m, He starts moving slowly toward the debris and uh oh, he turns toward me, 550 m. I have missile tone, fire a concussion at him, and open up with my cannons. missile takes his front shields and my blaster gets 2 good hits punching thru his armor and destroying him, but not before he was able to get a couple shots and a missile of his own off. His shots miss, but his missile does not, luckily my shields were almost to 100%, but now I am completely disabled. Reactor has been knocked out. Well, she's been a good ship I think, and I punch out of her. An hour or so later my pod is picked up by search and rescue. within 10 hours I am back on Corellia in my local cantina downing jawa beer and vasarian brandy and telling my friends of my exploits in Deepspace

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair or **edit**ing beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you've got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man...
And give some back.

I love going in to ds.. alot more fun there.. but i got shoot down in a ball of flames.. it was all fun..

Indeed it was Scylla, and if you were in a Firespray and your buddy in a Decimator and this was Friday night, then it is the same battle. If you remember it differently I would love to hear your side. I think I got most of the details right, I may have some of the maneuvers slightly off. but I just wanted to tell an RP story. I kept scanning for you guys to come back, cuz if you get the drop on me in my Bwing, I am dead. If you had been on your friends wing I would have been blown away too, but alas, you weren't and the only reason your buddy in the decimator couldn't kill me was cuz my B's shields/armor can actually take 2 really hard hits before being toasted and I think the second shot he got on me was more of a glancing blow. I was in DS for another 25 min. taking out the SD and I was scannig for you guys to come back, never did see you tho. maybe you were out by the rebel station?
Perhaps this weekend you may get a chance to even the score.../evilgrin
