Rank up incident
18 Dec 2015Tuurin
During mission to rank up to cadet...FNA issued warrant for targets destruction.
Target Anaconda was engaged.
Successfully destroyed target while sustaining heavy damage and cockpit breach. Engaged full power to engines and set course for closest station or outpost with 10 minutes emergency life support. FDS malfunction... Multiple repairs attempted unsuccessfully. After panic mashing FDS button, FDS engaged. Fast dock successful. NO REPAIR BAY. Fast launch from outpost. FDS malfunction again. Many attempts later, engaged. Made it to next closest system (LTT 15574) and set course for home, Haxel Port.
Fast dock attempted with just over 1 minute and 15 seconds of emergency air supply left. Caught in entryway scaffolding. Would have made landing safely if not for haste and panic.
New, fixed, class 3 pulse lasers to blame. Cockpit controls not able to consistently keep up with the precise movements needed for combat led to massive amounts of damage to ship when not needed. Gimballed pulse lasers re-outfitted. Sensitivity options in control panel desperately needed.
1,070,897 credits deducted for destruction of Black Thorn.
FNA bounty collected.
Rank of Cadet awarded.
