About a dozen participants on both sides, the Rebels featuring a pair of Nova Couriers. We were grouped together to coordinate with a captain and two gunners, both running Elite components and 119 speed Type V engines. Rebel pilots were also running Teamspeak to bypass the group limitations.
As expected, we weren't overwhelmingly impressive, except for the fact that we did manage to do some damage. Each of the Novas scored a few kills, more than a few assists and took an impressive amount of abuse and still hung in the match.
On a couple occassions, a Nova would get caught out alone and a single fighter would have its way with us, but if we hung in the main furball, we could work the crowd at maneuvering speeds and keep the Imperials distracted long enough for other fighters to handle them, or for us to work someone into line for a straightshot missile barrage.
At first I was running a Mark IV Proton with two Image Rec IIs, but switched to a triple IR II set up when we moved from Kessel to Deep Space. Again in Deep Space, when we were on our game, we could dance with the best of them. Once someone found our backside, it was usually over in seconds.
Per the rules of engagement agreed to ahead of time, no JSF, Royal Guard TIEs or Bel-22s were present. A few Vaksai and heavy Z-95's were around for the Rebels. One really impressive ARC-170, several Heavy TIEs, and Heavy Scyksfor the Imperials.
Nice mix of the workable old and new, made for an incredible engagement.

Nice work 
I might make a Standard TIE Interceptor pilot for kettemoore to juke around in while things are quiet on SS.

I had a triple batch of Mk4 protons loaded the whole time and managed to launch volleys 3-4 times. My gunners did a superb job of keeping the sky dangerous for imps to fly in despite my inexperience flying a POB. More then once I'd be turning and see blue bolts come down into my ship and suddenly be loading in Dant space.
