Diplomatic Relations


Right time to do something with these ships i recently acquired, Grab`n`Run will still remain my trusty old crate grabber, the Enhanced Pericles will now be my personal fighter at least for the time being, the Mercury Super Freighter will be used for storage of anything i find remotely usefull and as for the 2 Raijin, they will form up my first wing. On another note i`ve had a couple of pilots showing an interest in joining the fleet, however things are`nt that straight forward. Firstly there`s the small matter of seeing how good these pilots are in a combat situation, i mean i don`t really want pilots who won`t or can`t shoot the side of a station from 2km away... not good if home sectors get swamped by potential enemies.

So recruitment, this means training facilities and more specifically increasing my `Diplomatic Relations` with the Paranid. As it tuens out there is a Military Outpost in Preacher`s Refuge. One pilot was`nt specific about the ship he was experienced in piloting so he`s going to be assigned to `Blue Wing Leader` and more specifically one of the 2 Raijin i recently acquired. The second pilot however did request a Nova Vanguard, one of those i will have to get from an Argon ship dealer as i havent yet seen one for sale or in a Paranid sector to be acquired, but i will keep looking......

Message......

Dear Pilot we at the Freelancing Military Instituation are contacting you to regretably inform you that the ship request form cannot be completed. Due to the ship type not at present being available, there is however we are pleased to inform you another ship available if you wish to view it. This ship namely a Raijin is available for aquisition by yourself forth-with. You will ofcourse be contacted once the preferred ship is available.....

Also we would like to welcome you to the institution and look forward to your services within our organisation, good luck and happy flying out there pilot.

Message Ends -----


With the new pilot seated in his Raijin it was time to get him equiped and combat ready which means a quick visit to the EQ dock in Emperor`s Ridge. With orders to dock at the Eq dock i went off to Emperor Mines to see about stealing a Nova Vanguard. Enroute more fighting had been occuring within Paranid Prime, looks like a few freighters fell foul of the military up here as quite a lot of the crates strewn about contained Energy Cells, Meatsteaks and Silicon Wafers... still it was all good pickings for Grab`n`Run and it soon made me a nice fat profit too.

Dear FMI, [message.line.new]
A Raijin will be fine, though I would personally prefer that to be temporary. If you manage to get a Nova Vanguard then I would request a ship transfer to it asap. [message.paragraph.new]

Well don`t get too excited, NOT always a good idea being wing leader as you will lead the way for the rest.... seeings as your the first !! :P


The Hunt For The `Red Nova Vanguard`


After notifying me of his uncontrollable excitment for being made Blue Wing Leader, Tweeky was given orders to takeover patrolling Emperor Mines for a Nova Vanguard and not to get his ship too badly dented. Pirates had been frequencing the Mines rather alot and even though the repairs would`nt be so costly but still it was a cost i did`nt want. Tweeky however was`nt going to be alone as he has a new wingman to keep him company, and hopefully both himself and Void will keep out of trouble.

Myself however was off to Paranid Prime to oversee the freight transaction between Grab`n`Run and the missile storage Mercury. As the transaction was finishing another Mercury Super Freighter popped by and the temptation for another SF freighter was too good to pass, so off i went, all guns a blazing. Although something wierd happened, seems like the pilot, even though was alittle willing to hop out and hand control to me, had somehow managed to fire off a missile and as i got close to the freighter it exploded against my hull, killing himself and taking my shields down to 65%, must have been somekind of suicide ritual unfortunatly it also destroyed the freighter aswell.... damn !!

The Argon have obviously got a little annoyed at the dissapearence of thier freighters as i was soon notified by Tweeky and Omini that an Argon battle group had entered Emperor Mines and was heading towards Paranid Prime.... nice, could have been better news but maybe a few Nova`s would be escorting them, who knows !! Void however was quick to point out that indeed there were several escorting Nova`s and a couple of them were infact Nova Vanguards, so the hunt for `Red Nova Vanguard` was in a Paranid system and just waiting to be acquired.

What i needed to know however was what they were escorting, and all that Tweeky had relayed back to me was that there were quite a few lights twinkeling in the distance, under orders NOT to get into a fight just yet he did as he was told... kudos to you!! The reason i say this is because i went to take a gander myself.... turns out a Collosus and 2 Cerberus`s were heading toward Paranid Prime, which incidentally was the last known co-ordinates of those last 2 Super freighters were... uh oh!!

Ok time for a systems check........

Tweeky - Raijin - Blue Wing Leader
Void - Raijin - Blue Wing Alpha

And then theres me, no missiles and no monkeys to throw at the hull of those Argon ships to cap them. So heres the plan, Tweeky and Void wait in the wings whilst i take centre stage and try to pull those fighters away from the carrier and frigates, hopefully capping one of those Nova Vanguards for Void. Now those cap ships are quite slow so im told so should be easy to pull the escots away and deal with them and then beat a hasty retreat out of system before those cap ships can bring thier guns to bear on us.

Operation : Hit`n`Run will commence shortly just as soon as that battle group reaches mid point across the sector !!

:lol: Theres always one....

100 ships in fleet, i don`t think it`s going to be scout class i.e M5, however they have to be constructed which means PHQ for this particular mission goal. A trading fleet means exactly that, a fleet of freighters to help collect and store materials for the construction of a 100 combat ready fleet. Remember 2 of my gaols is to take and hold Xenon Core sector 023, can`t do it with paper and cellotape :P

Sustaining complex that requires an end product or several products such as shields, weapons and missiles for arming the fleet and it must include primary plus any secodary factories and/or stations. And no i havent written any biblical texts..... although i am currently working on a Terran story, something that will be similar to Farnham`s Legend and other good books written by Egosoft and thier team.

As for now the next chapter will be up soon......

Xcal13 you asked way back for a ship but did not state what sort and weapon/missile loadout. At everyone else reading this if you want to be a part of the team then apply now, i require :-

Ship Type....
Ship Name....
Weapon/missile loadout.....

I don`t want to say too much before the next chapter is up here but what i will say is that there is quite a number of ships awaiting pilots, however im not going to limit pilots to fighter`s you can if you so desire pilot a freighter :) ..... next chapter will be here soon, stay tuned......

Operation : Hit`n`Run


Waiting on the Collosus and both Cerberus to get mid-point took longer than i was expecting and had to give Tweeky a bit of a nudge.... anyways, with having no missiles means im going to be playing the part of`Bait` and that means i go over there, hit em and run, not a job i was happy with but they need to come over here.... so off i go !!

Successfully getting the attention of those Nova`s.... and the Busters..... and the Eclipse..... oh hell and the damn Collosus plus both Cerberus. This i can quite say is going to hurt, yup, shields down and the hull is on 25% after that nicely aimed volley of CIG fire hitting my rear, good job im faster than them. Just the small matter of getting these rather large angry wasps off my tail, time to call in the boys.... oi, Void, Tweeky... some assistance would be nice !! Void given orders to flank the marauding fighters that are now swarming allover my tail, flanked the wrong way and suffered a very nasty hit from one of the Cerberus..... Tweeky however did a subliminal job of killing off the Eclipse and Busters, not sure however if that all boiled down to sheer luck on his part or the simple fact he was faster and more manouverable.

Argon military tactics don`t include wriiten theories on bailing from a heavily battered ship in a losing situation and thus ebbing out the pilots life for a few more years, hence non of the ship`s pilots bailed and all went down with thier steeds.... damnable Argon honour and pure stubberness, oh well maybe next time.

Now theres this small matter of getting the hell outta dodge before we all get vapourised and it looks like those Argon ships have split up and gone in different directions, however i was pleased to see Void albeit damaged somewhat and trailing the tell-tale signs by venting flames out the back was through into Paranid Prime. Tweeky very cheekily strafed the side of one of the Cerberus and kinda took a nudge back from the captain, and i mean nudged in the form of neing used as a battering ram.... still no real damage done and he`s through too.

That just leaves me and with both Cerberus at the gate and the Collosus bareing down on me i needed a plan and a quick one at that. Im not as fast as i was at the start as im down to 25% hull and even though my shields have fully regenerated, one more voley from that Destroyer and im as good as toast, i need a distraction, something big to take the flak whilst i escape into Paranid Prime...........
Who am i ? I am but the sum of my experiences....
And today i am more than i was yesterday and less than i will be tomorrow.

Message.Data :

Hey, sorry about lack of dodging. Too used to piloting a Nova Vanguard with heavier shielding, I appreciate you trying to get me one. Noticed you haven't quite come through the gate yet, me and Tweeky will see if we can do something to help you out - our sensors, well... Tweeky's sensors show you're a bit stranded. Mine would show that too, I'm sure, but they're more fried than a boron in a Split Trading Dock. [message.paragraph.new]

As you may have noticed, I got my comms back online. An old friend of mine, he has been around a while, has been scouting around the universe. He heard about my new job working for you, and I sort of let slip that you'll be wanting to create a self sustaining complex for shielding and weaponry. He sent me a file with an ideal possible complex in a sector he has pointed out to me. The only problem is, it's an Unknown Sector - he claims it's west of Xenon Sector 534, which is located North of Getsu Fune.
[message.paragraph.new]

Details on the complex will be attached to the end of this message. By the looks of it, it'll dish out Ion Cannons, Photon Pulse Cannons, Ion Shard Railguns, Flak Artillery Arrays, High Energy Plasma Throwers, 2GJ shields, 1GJ shields and 200 MJ shields. As well as Hammer Torpedos, Tomahawk Missiles and Firestorm Torpedos. He also tells me that he surveyed the sector for some time, and it looks as if there is just about zero Xenon activity - even though it is directly beside a Xenon sector.
[message.paragraph.new]

Hope this helps you. I'll get to work with Tweeky on seeing if there's something we can do to assist your escape quickly.

Paranid Salvation


Well, well, well...... seems my luck just changed, hopping around like a limp donkey i managed to keep the Collosus just out of target range and having quite a few rocks to dodge behind. Seems though that Tweeky and Void are attempting a rescue mission, not a particular good plan as those 2 Cerberus are still stationed at the gate and show no signs of moving on. Im not exactly sure what happened but as i was about to take my chances running through Argon space a Paranid Deimos and escorts jumped through the gate to Paranid Prime and took the Argon frigates by surprise, anihilating one of them and sending the other sprawling through the gate.

Having both dealt with, that was the kind of distraction i was looking for, after recieving somekind of retreat order from Argon military officials the Collosus headed back to Argon space. Now my concern was the wounded Cerberus that jumped through to Paranid Prime...... that at least was now no longer a worry, as i passed through the gate-horizon that Cerberus also came back through, not sure if the Deimos finished off the job and i was`nt about to go back and findout.

Paranid salvation was a beautiful thing and never in my entire life have i ever been so grateful for such a lucky escape. Back with the fleet or should i say Tweeky and Void it was time for more work in acquiring ships for the immediate fleet. Tweeky and Void will be running recon missions through Splitfire and Brennan`s Triumph, i on the other hand will be heading for Hatikvah`s Faith and Nopileos`s Memorial........

To all pilots heeding this message, Freelancing Military Institution would like to extend our offer for pilots to join an expanding and wealthy organisation that promises to reward all loyalty and reliability with a greater sense of achievement. The immediate fleet require pilots to operate properly and effeciently, all applications are always considered a top priority and are dealt with swiftly and promptly.

Message Transmission......... End

Spent a number of hours hunting ships and freighters, and finally the immediate fleet is starting to take shape, only thing missing really is the power to capture ships bigger than a fighter class ship. The trade fleet is also starting to shape up quite nicely too, and Tweeky has managed to bag a hold full of missiles plus Void, and i have no idea where the hell he got them, managed to scoop up a couple of drones, shame i never had those earlier on when i needed to escape that damn Collosus. All i need to do now is wait for more willing pilots to pass this way and sign-up and join the fleet.

Hey folks..... not been on for quite awhile, i did post on another DiD thread saying that i would update my DiD, i.e this one as of the 14th of February, alas i have failed to do so thus far. The reason for this is my last motherboard blew and had to replace it, unfortunatly it was with a second-hand board from a friend and that gave up it`s miserable existence on the 12th of February......

I found by sheer luck a motherbaord that is fairly brandnew and was very rarely used, dunno why i did`nt keep using it but i have my pc back up and running now, so i will try to get another update on here soon.

I once again profusely apologise to anyone taking part and would like to say if you are interested in joining then please do so, there are plenty of fighter class ships plus freighters if your into trading.
