Rebel Roam to Metropolis

Peri Simone formed a fleet at the last minute to go out on a roam. It was starting in Heild and a good number of Rebels joined in frigates of various descriptions. Starwalker was in Rifter, along with a few others but there was also a Firetail, Vengeance and a Merlin.


The fleet headed out towards Gusandall and along the way another gang was encountered. The scout, Vincent R’lyeh, noted a number of their gang in cruiser and battle cruiser sized ships and the fleet commander decided it was too much firepower to take on.

A few systems on and Vincent R’lyeh managed to tackle a Cyclone at the sun and the fleet entered system and warped to him. Unfortunately, the tackle was lost as the Cyclone drained Vincent’s capacitor and the Cyclone was able to warp away just as the fleet arrived. Shame.

Arriving in Ardar a destroyer was found and this time the point held as the rest of the fleet arrived and destroyed the new ship. It was complete overkill but that is part of the fun - the random nature of each encounter. For Starwalker, it would have been more fun to win a close fight or lose a fight but get some good kills, however, a kill is a kill.

Starwalker had enjoyed flying in fleet but also wanted to get a solo kill. It had been a long time since his last solo kill and wondered what he needed to do to get into more fights. It seemed like other Rebels had much more success in finding fights.
