Haha! Great work men! (That is, if I survived).

That was some top drawer work Sluggie.

You are already a legend N-S. Now I think it's time for a statue in Egosoft's HQ. All vote for a statue of Admiral Steve!

If you need replacements I fly a Mamba (or any variants) under the name "The Chalk Outline". Load it and use it as you see fit. Just don't ask me to fly escort around the TL "You want it Where?". He makes me nervous! I always seem to attract a lot of fire around him.

Great work NS, you've done it again

Outstanding planning and coordination - as usual!

Excellent job gentlemen! I'd say drinks are on me, but you appear to be drunk already <_< Especially since i'm seeing three of you <_<

It all ended in a Tyr

Well done.

Now, about that promotion and pay rise........

Masrock

Ps any thoughts on a ship name?

Free Entyrprise?
Tyrannosaurus? (Rex for short?)

That went smooth. Even if I die, I'll at least get to know I was in my old Blue Wing for its finest job.

Nice haul of Starbursts, too. Too bad there are no PSPs though. That's going to be difficult to secure now that the Terrans are onto you.

I'd think the name would be something like "Full Circle", since a Tyr is how it all began..

nicely done N-S. its a shame i wasnt around long enough to be a part of this boarding operation

+1 for Tyrannosaurus

Hmm...a casualty report is definitely needed. And at least the SSCs will keep it safe while you find the guns to fill out the rest of the slots. Or they may work just as well for you, as they did against us.

And are you actually playing a 2.5 game? Or are you still on 2.4?

+1 for Full Circle

Tyrannosaurus is a bit complicated... maybe TYRant or something... punchy, yet imposing.

Wasn't v2.1 the one before v2.5 (just to be different)?

But N-S is playing a steam version, so he's on v2.5 anyway

Mr. Matthews... have all survivors of Blue Wing report to cargo bay three aboard the 'Providence'. I know they're drunk already, but I've had this barrel of the finest argon whiskey stored for a loooong time, and it's longing to find a purpose

Steve was unfairly beaten by the Terrans once... this is his revenge.

She ought to be named "Steve's Revenge."

EDIT

It's a matter of my dinner plans tonight... am I dead or alive? If alive, I'll be dining aboard the Providence. If dead...

TONIGHT... WE DINE... aw forget it.

TYRible Menace?

You sir slug are my hero. This story gets better every chapter & I practically drop everything when I get the "Topic reply notification..." email just to see if its a new chapter.

Admiral Steve,

I would like to congratulate you on this amazing feat - I humbly bow my head with respect. I was sitting in a Terran bar, enjoying a glass of argon whiskey and a lizard smoke (GoD bless our liberal narcotics laws), when news of your bravado came in. Everyone was just falling over each other in blind panic, fearing that this is the end of Sol...what a bunch of girls!

Me, I'm not much into politics. But I know glory when I see it. And it would be a great honour to join your glorious crew.

Seeing that I'm not much of a politician, I'm also not eager on brass. I'm a fighter most comfortable behind some shields that can take a flak hit and still let me continue hammering those cap-ships. I'll even fly one of those - what do you call them - Xenon ships, as long as it doesn't require probing any pre-existing orifices!

I don't mind if I live or die, as long as I live or die with glory.

Pilot Name: Alex LeSash
Preferred Ship: M3/M3+
Ship Name: The Crushonator
Weapons: Mix of HEPTs and EBCs will do just fine, but I'll take anything you throw my way.
Missiles: Wasps and Tempests, or whatever you deem appropriate

Or Ouroboros if we want to be fancy

Conrats Commander Steve, Blue Wing and my fellow Marines.

Here's hoping I'm not a ghost
