In the ‘sunny’ port or Manchester, the Hutton Truckers met up with some of the Hammers of Slough. However, and we think Alcohol was involved, an argument broke out to who was the best pilot and so they took to ships to prove their mettle.
Carl (Cobra Mk III, Dangerous Pilot), Sam (Eagle, Expert Pilot) and Galactic MIdden (Cobra MK III, Master Pilot) represented the truckers, while Sarah represented the Hammers (A Multi Missile Sidewinder, Deadly Pilot) and Dan Grub flew a police viper trying to restore law and order!
Turn 1.
Sam was a little unsure and slowly approached slowly, however Carl had no problem with that and came straight in at him, with the two of them exchanging fire but with no damage. With Dan turning away at a tangent, midden decided that he wanted to remove the police presence and turned to take out Dan, scoring a glancing blow. Sarah decided to support the Police and made a bee-line for Midden’s Cobra.
Turn 2.
Sam seemed to find the throttle and flew the Eagle straight into the fray. The only problem was he flew straight into Carl’s sights. Losing his shields in the process. Dan’s Viper turned to face Midden’s Cobra, forcing Midden to perform a hard turn, exposing his flank. With Sarah locking and firing a missile at the Evading Cobra, even Midden’s ECM couldn’t help him and he lost his shields. Even Dan can’t miss miss at that range, Midden’s took more hits, just leaving him with a single hull point left.
Turn 3.
With Sam able to rebuild his shields, he managed to evade Carl’s Cobra, which for some reason decided to fly in the opposite direction. Dan flew past the Cobra, unable to deal Midden’s Cobra a finishing blow. Sarah moved into an optimum firing position in the sidewinder but she was unable to score hit on Midden’s hard Braking Cobra.
Turn 4.
With Carl having to pull a hard half loop to get back after Sam. The Dan’s viper and Midden’s Cobra turned away and out of each other’s firing arc. However, Sarah, put the Sidewinder into a gentle turn and was able to get a head on missile lock on Sam’s Eagle. Even with Eagles amazing agility, the missile smashed the Eagle apart, leaving Sam floating in space in an escape pod.
However, at that point, we ran out of time (Due to the northern Rail Timetable).
Placings.
5th Sam (The only Ship Loss).
4th Galactic Midden (Took more damage that he dished out).
3rd Carl (Good hit on the eagle)
2nd Dan (with a devastation hit on Midden’s Cobra)
1st Sarah (Taking a Sidewinder and showing the others what you can do with one with missiles)
Thanks to everyone who played
