Hehehe...Well, when you're in a Arada, the UE Destroyers and Carriers are tough, but the fighters are generally easy to handle. Yes Stud, the Arada can be an excellent weapon, and I perfer it over most ships in the game. The reason UE ships are hard to defeat is all the hunter missiles they shoot at you...That is when speed becomes the most important factor. I haven't really sided with the Voinians in a long time, but lately I've become a traitor of the UE. (Hey Carnotaur, can you believe it!?)

Hmmmm.....I'm actually allowed to land at both Freeport and Gorky which we all know are human renegade ports. It's funny what the renegades in either system say when you talk to them. 'Excuse me, but lots of innocent people need butchering', or 'Whaddya want I got convoys to raid'. Hehehe. Also, in me new ship the S.S. Overpowerer, I've learned that the fighters i deploy, swarming the enemy, plus me firing my weapons at them at the same time, can be devastating. In other words, I've learned the true value of fighters/fighters bays.

ESPilot - Good job! Now ditch those UE Fighters, and pick up some Azdaras!
Are there actual renegade mission strings? On plug-ins such as F-25, and such, it says in the readme "You can NOT have the north tip renegade missions done" Are there renegade mission strings? I'll bet those are funny.

Well, the only real thing that made the renegades happy with me was destroying the Nadir which they said had broken every renegade rule. But after that I blew up some turncoats and they went back to hating me. What i did was this: I went say 1-2 jumps south of Yelts or Riomor, because in those systems both human and Strandless renegades will battle each other. Blow up as many strandless renegades as possible, but leave the human renegades alone. And, by the way Stud, I can't actually sell my UE Fighter bay on my cruiser. I could if I would, since I'd have 120 tons of free space if I could. And yes, the Overpowerer is a totally maxed-out UE Cruiser. Also, I'm sorry I'm at a shortage of stories right now which is really what this topic is about, but I just can't find any worthy-of-telling stories. Also, if we're pretending this is a spaceport bar where we're telling stories, which bar is it?
ESPilot - Hey, I'm at a story-shortage too. Boring on the front lately... Anyway, Why isn't the UE Fighter Bay sold anywhere? That was pretty stupid to not have it sold anywhere. Hey, maybe thats an idea of a plug-in? What bar? Hmm....Outpost Zachit? Lots of races go there.... Or maybe Pax Station?
There's a plug-in for it already. Umm...yeah thats all I really have to say.

Yes there are renegade mission strings: for the north tip ones, go to Hizdriar and kill some Zachit ships so you become an offender - then land at Hizdriar and go to the bar. For the human renegades, kill militia vessels in Iothe then land and go to the bar :).

Ooh, ooh! I got one!
I was peacfully piloting his Shuttlecraft, the S.S. Ridiculosity into the Telnan system to pick up a load of Medical Supplies, accompanied by six empty freighter escorts. As I entered the system, I heard the telltale WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH sound of a bay being opened. A Crescent Warship? No, a Turncoat! In this horrible moment, I realized that I was piloting a Shuttlecraft, with three Blaze cannons! I turn around, but with no afterburner, I can't outrun the Kraits. My Escorts have luckily arranged themselves into a wall between me and the Turncoat. The first Krait's first shot are absorbed by the freighters, and then when it passes through, I opened up. Perfect shot! One Krait down. The next Krait to come through was luckier, and it took me a few extra seconds for me to bring him down, but in those seconds his pal was on me. I finished him off, but was down into my paper-thin armor. Allright, Turncoat boy, it's on now. Then I hear the sound of a Needle Launcher firing. A missles comes onto my screen, then expired. I managed to keep at the distance that the missles expired, and soon the Turncoat ran out of missles. I'm back in my shields now, so I draw near to the Turncoat. The escorts are in the way, so I give them the "hold position" command. I am preparing to Monty Python the Turncoat, when a Krait comes at me from the side! Quickly spinning, I take him out fairly quickly, but I'm back into armor. I pull up with the Turncoat, steadily firing my cannons, trying to keep the perfect distance, running like a squirrel when he gets too close. Eventually, he's disabled. I board and steal his credits, then I disembark and carefully dipath him from a distance, so as not too get caught in the explosion. Then I recall my escorts and land on Telnan. And that is the story of Samurai, the Shuttlecraft Pilot who took out a Turncoat.

WOW! :eek: I am in shock! Imagine seeing a small shuttlecraft taking out a TURNCOAT! Did you lose any of the freighters when they were used as a wall? What did your combat rating go up to? Man, I could NEVER do anything like that! That takes some major skill, good job Samurai! orders another Brandy for him
Ok, who's next?
Nice story, Samurai! Sounds like something that happened to me a few months ago...only I was somehow able to capture a Turncoat in my shuttle. I got lucky.
~Cap'n Skyblade
Man! Shuttle vs. Turncoat and shuttle won! Thats like chawowa taking on a german sherpard and knocking out the german shepard! Amazing! But, I'm still at a loss of stories. Nothing interesting seems to be happenning. I go to UE frontier, same old UE vs. Voinian battles. I go to southern UE and Strandless space. Same old UE/militia vs. renegades. I go to Strand territories. Same old Strand skirmishes. I go to north tip of the crescent, same old Zachit kicking the same old renegade asses. I go to northwest Voinian space, nothing but the same old Voinians kicking the same old Emalgha asses.

Same here ESPilot. And I don't want to start a new pilot, cause I don't feel like starting over! Stupid boring universe!
I think I'm going to go to the Emalgha/Voinian Front now. I'll be back, HOPEFULLY with a few good stories.
Anyone got any good stories? If so, share away!

Hah, Skyblade, not a bad idea. But I couldnt stand the thought of leaving my precious arada! :frown:
And, I actually went to the Dreadnought mission in a scoutship once. Luckily, there was also "an important voinian convoy" and "a buildup of warships", so the dreadnought was taken out by all the UE ships, and I was left to take care of the fighters. The hardest part of the battle was dodging the rockets.
Captain Skyblade, why are you a traitor to my government?

Triton Corsair? Cool name! Thats a lot better than "A.E.S. Firebird". I renamed Firebird-1 using ResEdit.

You mean you re-named your ship the "Triton Corsair?" Wow, I'm extremely honored. ;)Yes, it's a name I've used for a long time. I really like it.

LOL, no, I didn't rename it Triton Corsair, I don't steal other people's names. I meant, I renamed Firebird-1 to A.E.S. Firebird. Sorry for the mix up.

OH! Ok...Sorry about that. Well, my ship name is not trademarked, so anyone is free to use it. The name Firebird is really awesome, by the way...
