Several volleys of torpedoes found their mark and-combined with a couple successful bombing runs and a few broadsides from their surviving lancer- we were reduced to only 32% hitpoints left. To make matters worse, though our gallofree was still alive the remaining lancer and bulk freighter now firmly seperated the two of us. As we sat there, helpless, enemy bombers decimated our gallofree. It had drifted too far to the imperial side of the map and close to where their bombers came in. Soon the ship fell, leaving our nebulon alone.
The alarms were really going off now. Our engines were drained, our maneuvering had us now heading towards the enemy fleet, and even a few good blaster shots could knock us out. It was then that we saw the first explosion. Ahead of us the lancer, panicked by the assault from our fighters, had apparently hit its boost engine and moved away from the bulk freighter. Taking that opportunity our ships tore into it with torpedoes, cutting it down.
Well, Im proud to say that I was leading the squadron that took down the gallofree, and one of our guys (Pyrate) saved one of our lancers from death. Plus, we were those bombers who kept tryin to nail your behind in the Neb. B!
For a bit though, I was in a gunner seat of the lancer that was half-chasing you, before we got swarmed by fighters. Durin that time, I got a those in fighters in my squad to try to get the fighters off of the lancer, which was sorta during the time you were alone in space. Other than that, it was a great encounter, and our guys were pissed as hell to learn we lost by one single percent...
