I've never fought one, but in seeing other's do it in videos, it seems the turrets aren't too hard to wreck, and once you take down all the heat exhaust ports they run. I'd be all for doing a large group assault this weekend, but I know I'll be unavailable most of Saturday. But that shouldn't stop anyone else.

You know the loaded dice is totally because some dipshits took over the system of the imperial chancellor for lulz. They never should have let them start a faction there anyway. (I think I saw 3 capital ships from supercruise there last week.)

Agreed, there really should have been an exemption list from the very beginning - special systems shouldn't be the home base of player factions. Will definitely join any mass assault effort this weekend, it's a good thing the war started this late.

Got the hang of flinging my 'Vette around in the asteroid fields now - much more manoeuvrable than my old 'Conda - learning how to use fixed weapons now, ready for when the Class 4 Fixed Pulses arrive.

Then will actually move out my current system and do some trading etc.

Yesss ... made it to the top 5% in the Bountyhunting CG. Nearly 40 million by this whole CG alone! That's cash for the beloved Rattaconda!

In other news, my awesome RatMerits arrived :)

Need more credits to get back into a Vulture to help in CZ. Currently in a viper mk4 with cash at 4.5 mil. Usually get 1 mil per metcalf run so shouldn't be too long. Depending on how much game time my 8 month old allows.

Just made it back home to Alliance Space. G 122-60. Home home home. After that week long stint in foreign and hostile space way down south in Okinura. Glad to be back in a system that isn't hostile to me being there.

Headed back to the Exioce warzone & bagged several kills. Could see @JohnLuke lighting up targets in his big, beautiful ship and it was a comfort to see the Order have the upper hand in this instance. Unlike my sessions yesterday , we didn't seem that outnumbered or outgunned and I think the tide will continue to turn as more commanders come streaming in this weekend.

My DBx 'es combination of fixed bursts & fixed size 2 multicannons seem to be working well with the ship's great manueverability. Will cram in another session tonight :)

I sent you a couple of chat messages and a wing invite. You were probably too busy killing ships to notice. Maybe we can wing next time. ;)

Maybe next time for me as well. Was determined to rout the Cap Ship before bed...
