Let's see.... the game so far.
Match 1
Met MaudDib in his D6-D and some AI Klink heavy frigate in my G-vCA along with my AI Fed FFC. With a slow-drone D6D vs. a G-vCA, the odds are exceedingly in my favor. Odds are I won't even be damaged. But, having G-torps, I have virtually no chance of killing him if he decides to leave. Well, 'Dib's courage is strong and would have nothing to do with running! Not even after I'd crippled most of his weapons but left him with enough power to make his escape.
"Come and get me, you fool!" he screamed. Spoken like a true Klingon! He definitely has the heart for the role. He killed my AI, I killed him, and then when I turned on his AI the game crashed.
Match 2
Met and defeated a20risky's I-CAW and some AI "thingy" in my G-vCA with another AI FFC.. A relay, really fun match surrounded by dust clouds. Again, my AI died first. I got the better of the plasma ballet and killed a20risky, but he managed to tease out a weasel with a volley that would have been devastating if real, and so hit me Th a final good plasma strike that wiped out several weapons and dropped my front shield. Then I had to suffer the ignominy of running through the dust clouds with no front shield in order to avoid the AI's plasma. Eventually I killed the AI too, but it really managed to irritate me for a while!
Match 3
a20risky decides for a little payback, and this time he brings Chuut with him. That's another I-CAW and a L-CF vs. my G-vCA. I decide that discretion is the better part of valour, and so after an initial pass I book for the border. You know something, these maps are huge! LOL. Chuut's repeated disruptor fire manages to drop my rear shield and score an internal or two before I get off the board. (I love the big maps, by the way. It always bugged me that, in space, the map has borders at all.)
It's been a load of fun so far. Let's keep it up!
