Me and a wing of commanders take on some pirates (video)
Hello Commanders,
My last encounter with a player pirate is described here

(didn't go too well for me)
Two nights ago I was on my way to fetch some non lethal weapons in my attempt to gather some rep from Federation. On my way I bump into a couple of friendly commanders. They invite me to join their wing in their quest to teach some pirates a lesson.
I really rarely do PvP, and when I do, I seem to lose all of my knowledge about the game. But decided to join these guys anyway.
In the beginning it didn't go too badly. I managed to inflict some damage to the pirates and was doing ok. But at one point I didn't realize I was out of active shield cells, forgot to activate the new ones after powering them up and suddenly was without shields. A few seconds later I have a thrusters malfunction and it's really difficult to try to align myself with a star I'm trying to jump to.
By some miracle I managed to jump just when I had less than 20% of the hull left and I'm sure only 1 or 2 laser fires away from thrusters dying completely.
Most exciting time I've had in the game. I do hope I learned something and could do a bit better the next time.
Shameless plug, I (very roughly) edited this to a video. Here's a link in case you want to laugh at my incompetence
