During my escapades in CROSSFIRE
this afternoon, i decided to find out for myself wethere these Strike Carriers were as hard
to take out as some members had said. To be perfectly honest, they werent that hard. I lost
my Countermeasures, but that was my fault (i launched a mine when i was too close to the
target with my shields down and my countermeasure dropper was in the blast radius). I was so
engrossed in combat with teh first carrier, that i neglected to take a screen shot untill it
blew up. you can tell i fought 2 by counting the nanobots in each of the final pictures.
here they are.
after first
soon after the first battle, an attack wing showed up, and i took
them out to replenish my nanobots and shield batteries before i went looking for another
carrier.
and here is where the second battle
begins.
this fight wasnt exactly even, as there were 2 battleship wings
attacking at the same time as the strike carrier. the other one is off screen, and you can
see the energy cannon blast from one of the gunboats
after the
second kill, i limped my way to Earth, where i fixed my ship and replenished my equipment. I
also replaced my Diamnondback MKIIs with a pair of PPCs. Had i done this before i went into
Styx, i would've saved about $1million in repairs. Oh well. I'm filthy rich
anyways.
EDIT-and if its a Strike Carrier, why didnt any nomad ships fly out of it
when i started attakcing it??? its got a gaping hole thorugh the middle of it, so i would
think fighters would come streaming out.
see??
