Legostone Posted January 22, 2017 We've recieved a couple of records that our exploration missions closer to Mardier were attacked by their very own convoys. Off course they weren't successful, else we couldn't tell what exactly happened during said battles. The Migery (along with Blood Diamond and Catfish Supreme, which were under attack from other ships at this time) was nearing the Marderian Convoy, with the intend of sailing along, as we had decided not to attack merchant vessels. As she came closer the bigger merchant close to her opened fire, as did the escort! Well, this was the point where drastic measures had to be taken - the guncrews on board the Migery had to open fire themselves to defend, no matter that the Mardierans missed every single of their shots. Luckily the Migery carried some of the best guncrews in Eslandola and could successfully defend itself against the attacking Marderian vessels. They managed to take out the topmast on the attacking Mardieran Brig and heavily damaged the main mast on the Galleon. Both enemy ships badly damaged, and the Catfish Supreme and Blood Diamond signalling that they had also won their battles, the Marderians quickly gave up and surrendered. After inspecting damage it was decided to remove the main mast from the Galleon, as it was too badly damaged, which forced us to tow it along behind us. Once these ships arrive in an Eslandolan port we'll need a big shipyard to get them fixed up! Similar reports were heard from other ships, even the Mirthless Jest which was sailing along with a couple of Sea Rats carrying Letters of Marque. ________________________ And here you see the reason why we had to capture a couple of merchants - we simply had to defend ourselves. Reports from our lonely explorer Great Scott are still missing, we are waiting for those.

kaiju Posted January 22, 2017 That's a rather impressive representation of the Mirthless Jest given it's highly unorthodox colour scheme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elostirion Posted January 23, 2017 These are some absolutely fantastic micro-ships. I really love the effort you have put into elaborating on those MRCA-results. Fantastic, really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
