I was counting on the ISC carrier's fighters still being in repair, but it could have went much worse if Dizzy had launched his PF's before I nabbed him with the level 4 tractor. It took me a minute to finish charging my torps and turn to face him, and luckily Reejr closed in to take his shots while Chuut kept his distance. The $20 for leaving Dizzy to the wolves is in the mail!

Dizzy was dead already as soon as you grabbed him and I saw he had a lvl 0 ESG, no way to save him as ftrs were still repairing, felt no need to join him.

In one monumental battle, Duck in rom CLX along with  Krueg in KLink DX drafted myself in ISC CCX and Dizzy in Mirak HDW.  After more than 1 hour, Duck was tractored at the border and killed, while he had dropped his Neuc and I ran it over, thus killing Dizzy in the process.  I was hurting and so was Krueg, but Krueg felt it prudent to run off the map.

Excellent game all round, well worth it.  And I get to claim a kill on Dizzy eheh.

That was a ellva fight!

Many kills... too many deaths should have bought stock in the "DF" hull  . By far this was the best PVP server FSD has been on since we started playing on the Dyna.

Excellent job by all the admins and RMs  to keep it going and above all keep it fun. Looking forward to what ever comes next. Think the points for capital ships is a great way to go to help maintain balanced play.

And as I log off for the final time I can confidently state that no enemy ever stepped foot on an original Lyran, Mirak or ISC planet 

Thanks to all the players I encountered in all the fun an honourable PVP games I was in as Mutilator and as the Gingerbreadman.

Hexx valiantly sacrificed his ship to take out my Phaser-G in this 1v1 H-RNX versus L-CCXf  duel . . .

[Hexx]

Please I'm sure I killed a few marines as well.


It's all cuz I remapped the weapons for the CCX.
Honest.

Thanks Krueg for that last minute fight and taking the server out with a bang!  Me getting cocky in my bigger ship and chasing gave you the upper hand.  If I hadn't launched the PF's to buy me some time...
I was flying the PF's half the time making sure they didn't get popped by your drones - luring the drones toward the main ship.  Very tricky though... I was IN the one you tractored there toward the last which is why the mother ship didn't react faster.  Very well fought my friend!

I also had a last minute fight on the server. Approximately 5 minutes from the end of the server, I logged back on findng I had left my ship on the southwestern planet of the center planets. It appeared that the Alliance had just flipped the hex to the southwest of that planet neutral. After checking on my supplies, I hit that hex and was unpleasantly surprised to draft Komodo because I was in a Z-HDWVm and he was in a G-CCX.

I say unpleasantly surprised, which loosely translates into "Oh sh*t!" However, I decided to make a go of it and was rather surprised to see that he didn't know how to handle incomming drones. About 3:45 into the match, he started taking internals. He launched plasma at me twice during the course of the match, but never touched me. At 5:59 into the match, his CCX was molten debris and the match ended moments later.

Good game, Komodo. I was not expecting to be able to beat you with you in that X ship, much less blow you away. After the match  I looked at the stats for the G-CCX in this shiplist, though. I realized overall, it was ill suited to drone defense. 2 Plasma R, 2 Plasma S, 12 phaser 1s, and apparently only 2 tractors. With my cluster missiles to help absorb your point defense, well, I'm not sure even an experienced player experienced in plasma vs drones could have beaten me, even if I did almost let you sneak up on me by flying only at speed 20 at first. Thanks for my second PvP kill ever.

Well done all.  It was a pleasure even in death in PvP.

[Komodo]

That was a real bang up for me lol

Actually, I'm pretty good at drone defence for the most part, but I'd become accustomed to not dealing with 'em very much for the most part on server. I usually run my phaser cap at 1/2 power, and I think that contributed greatly to my misfortune- by the time I thought to up it, it was too late to do any good. Either way, I don't think it would have made much difference on my part- with you running top speed, and my having to save phasers for point defence, you'd have the upper hand long enough to slowly peck me to bits before your drones ran out. How many drones does that beasty carry? I assume they were heavies...

Really, my only chance was to catch you before you got up to full speed. It was close, lemme tell you! I had a tractor all set n ready to hook you in, & the closest I got was range 5, & by then you were taking the lead at speed 28. I let an R loose & was probably the only hit I got on you LOL.  I think the only reason I didn't charge in was because I was trying to determine the extent of your drone barrage as I closed in. It's been quite a while since I last encountered MIRV's & I was trying to figure out how to ignore them & concentrate on the singles you kept lobbing at me. As you mentioned, having only 2 tractors didn't help matters- I was really starting to miss my Hydran boat right about then LOL

Damn good match Josh- I think we both learned something there   

[CaptJosh]

You assume correctly. Type 1s wouldn't have done nearly as much damage that quickly. The Z-HDWVm has 1 A rack, 2 B racks, 2 C racks, and one M rack. Total capacity of 70 Type 4 drones, 10 of which are cluster missiles, IIRC. I'm sure someone will correct me if I've made a mistake in that calculation, though.
