Crazy feds.. LHS 3447 kill-pirates community goal, it will be easy they said

Went to a distress call and I almost got by .. two farraguts.. not to mention their 'guardians', around 5 condors on one side, same ammount of cobras on the other, even anacondas.. It was really thrilling I'd say, but please, not sure this should spawn in a starting system, on a distress call!

I see you still had a go at them though

ilo · Mar 9, 2016

yep! well.. until a point..

First they used me to destroy the pirates:

then they attacked me:

The moment was.. intense, I didn't know what to do:

But yeah, at the end I could not avoid attacking them, hey, they are feds!

Woooooot???
Capital ships at a distress call????!

Damn, I have actually never got that and did not even know it was possible.
Must try before the CG ends...

I confirm, one Farragut was the stranded ship, the other one came in the third wave as.. pirate! seemed buggy, as the second one and his guardians were clean all the time (tagged as pirates).

Feds, doesn't matter if they are clean, I did my best for the empire :*

A pirate Farragut? So that's the Archon Delaine specific ship granted at rank 6 FD is secretely working on for 2.1! Nice

Best distress call I had was an immobilised federal corvette. Was great flying around it whilst trying to take out the horde of pirate ships - all vultures and cobras. Was like a real battle scene from SW or similar

no wonder why they are building a new Farragut, using a community goal.. I destroyed two!! you feds know maths??

what I did with this two was: approach the space between the two ships at 250ms on silent running, disable silent when I was exactly between the two ships, let the turreted multicannons fail their target and hit the other ship.. then they started fighting each other and I HELPED BOTH OF THEM.

at the end we all won!
