The colourful ,and outspoken Col William -scumbag-Light is in the news again today . At the launch of the new (name?)defence ship,
The first 'off the line' Col 'Bill' light lead a Sqn of fighters around the station , The old dog showing the new dogs some old tricks and that the 'old dog' can still handle a fighter despite his age.
More Impressive was the fighter itself. Aside from it sleek lines of design ,surprising high speed and sharp, small turning circle. The flight demonstration included a heavy armed anaconda being allowed to fire on the Colonels craft. The new ,top secret shielding glowing a ghostly green, repealed all attempts to break it down. The shocked, yet relieved crowd then witnessed the second and final surprise when Colonel 'scumbag' light returned fire and completely destroyed the heavily armed anaconda's shields with just 3 strikes from a new "secret" weapons system ,now being installed to all new defence force shipping.
"It a great ship, Its what we need to take the fight back to those scumbags" said a delighted colonel " In the OLD days these scumbags were tolerated .They were found hanging around the fringes of society .But today they are big business and well organised. It's no longer the days of the pioneers ,We have become a responsible ,civil, society and, yet they have been allowed to terrorise our trade lanes and stations.".
The Colonels response to questions concerning the recent destruction of a Pirate base found at a Leesti was,
" Their days are numbered, we WILL push these scumbags back out into the fringes of space ,and then continue to push them further".
Comments regarding the rumours that women and children were also on the base has been denied ."Look " said the Colonel," you stand with a sword ,then you are judged by the sword, we live in a civil democracy ,We cannot afford to have ,we will not have anarchy ."
When questioned about the rumoured Five Million Credits that has been placed on the Colonels "head" He replied " I wear it with pride, I've been given a job to do. And by - dam i'll get it done".
.
The new defence ship will see it's first days of service next week around the systems Leesti,Lava and Diso.There are high hopes that this will demonstrate the new power of the law.

"Been on my first rare goods circuit for a while, had heard about missile spammers around Lave. Just arrived in the area, have been intentionally dropping out of SC around 60km from the stations and making my way in, each time I have seen the guy's running riot... not even sure how the commander names got past the filtering.
Diso & Leesti I managed to get in quickly using silent running (thankfully this Clipper is quick) Lave is a no go, have never seen so many dumb fire & dumb people in one place. Explosions everywhere, I disabled silent running, turned around and set course for my next stop. ""

..""How it's intended to work - in an anarchy system out in the boondocks. Not in a civilised station, with the station and its police force unable to stop people being attacked inside or right next to it.""

Nobody said the police were omnipotent. They fly the same ships as you and I, breathe the same air you and I do, eat and sleep at least in a similar manner. Why do you expect them to be capable of that which you are not? I don't hold you up to any standard that I can't meet myself, for instance.

Ah that's just it the Feds should have some sort of edge; advanced equipment etc. Then perhaps players can try and early this kit in future missions.

Because there should be hundreds of them, just like there were in Frontier when you accidentally shot a single laser bolt into the grass while taking off from a city starport and the police responded by launching every ship on the planet at you. Those AIs didn't need 1337 skillz to destroy you or make you run away very fast, just lots and lots of Vipers. I guess police cannon-fodder recruitment must have really dropped off in the last 50 in-game years. Maybe they got a better union.

come on ED doing this should keep them busy,If they want a fight then give them one they cant win,and every time they strike.."swarm" them.
