NSAF - Citizens of Interest

Maverick and Wootie

Had to chuckle at a recent cartoon I saw as it reminded me of the beavis and butthead of the NSAF.

The epitome of Coronavirus-Denier Ted Nugent tested positive for covid-19. After Ted successfully avoided contracting covid-1 thru covid-18 (LOL) he now thought he was dying. I suspect Ted caught the “nothing but the flu” virus during a mask burning party.

Got my first jab yesterday and other than a sore arm, I feel great. If you believe that wearing a mask to protect those around you, or believe that the covid virus is a hoax, or somehow any of this violates your freedom and liberty, you are a fool that cannot be trusted.

Maverick’s Greatest Hits

Make no mistake, unless you are dedicated FPS you will need to learn to fly. Dog fighting with your favorite buddies is a safe and fun training exercise we usually avail ourselves with using AC’s multi-player free flight mode. In this mode players are free to exit and update their ship’s configuration or change ships with having everyone exit and rejoin (private mode).

If you are lucky, you can turn your training mission into a squadron battle with anyone else that intrudes in your free flight space.

Early flight training in AC’s Private Battle Royale.

Hammerhead or 7 fighters?

The Corporation, still smarting over their rekt performance against Nomadsoul’s Diamond Shredders, posted a question on Spectrum. One(1) Hammerhead or seven(7) fighters? I think that is the wrong question!

Here is more of the battle:

I suspect Cintra left out the mission objectives in her question, in this case I will assume she is talking about defending a cargo convoy. We came in with a Hammerhead sporting a crew of 4 and 3 medium fighter support ships. Since we were targeting cargo ships, medium fighters would be more effective taking down the larger targets.

Flying a Glaive I provided close support for the Hammerhead operating to a large extent inside the firing bubble of the Hammerhead where I was free to engage targets without becoming defensive. Our targets were so focused on the Hammerhead I was largely ignored.

Fighting within the Hammerhead’s firing bubble also meant that I didn’t need to mash the AB/Boost buttons and as a result I remained in the fight while my two wing mates left the fight early to refuel. Unfortunately the Glaive, despite having two fuel intakes, does not regenerated boost fuel.

So I suspect the answer to Cintra’s question is neither.

Board Gamers Demise

The Corporation asked us to try and stop their cargo run, an event sponsored by Boardgamer UK. I don’t think these folks knew what hit them!
