On the Prowl

These people are huge on talking, but as far as enforcing their own rules... they are the least active sector I've pirated in a long time. Sorry_For_Ya is the only remaining defender of the carebear sheeple. I've heard that he has fleets that can take out a base or two, and I've seen him driving dreadnaughts around town. So I keep my eye on him.

It didn't take long to find him moving two HH fleets toward Bassman's island. I called to Bassman in comms, but he doesnt respond. Getting hit while offline means that you can't click to heal the turrets between hits, and you can't aim the turrets at the smart targets. So I launch my booster2, engine2 seawolf fleet to Bassman's nearby base.

When SFY's first HH fleet arrives I wait with my wolf fleet, just above the base, where he can't see my name. He dances back and forth for a sec, then I trash him in comms for being pathetic. He engages my wolf fleet with his siege mortar HH fleet. Took about 4 minutes, but he tasted salt water, and I didnt get hit. He launched a wolf fleet from his base, just then.

I sent my wolf fleet toward his base, and he launched a dreadnaught guardfleet. I sent longships to see what he is using and sure enough, d53 assault missiles and booster3. I dont have anything that can take him out with reasonable losses so I just keep sending longships at him to annoy. Then I notice his other HH fleet hitting someone just south of Bassman. I wait for him to finish, and attack with my missile wolfs. His fleet was half dead when I got ahold of him, so I finished the job. glub glub glub

Earlier that day, I saw SFY's seawolf fleet hidden by a base near mine, so I sank it. Costed me an hour of repairs. He built them fairly smart. Strike missiles, booster, laser, and reactive armor (RA3) for missile defense. That wolf fleet is slower than most, and doesn't outrange assault missiles, but the missile armor cuts damage from missiles by 60%. More than doubles their effective armor, vs missile.

I trash talked him but he didn't talk back. It was soon after that when Ice1 started talking trash. She is bound and determined to be dirtier and filthier in comms than my buddies and I have been. She doesn't have wit or charm and makes a fool of herself. But she promises that pretty soon, we'll get whats coming to us. Just wait...
