Blue Team (Round 8)
The three respective flights regrouped with each other and converged on the sole corvette still undamaged. Devon was determined to change that. The groups close to within two kilometres, a move that seemed crazy with turbolaser death flying all around, but the squadron managed it with only two hits. Blue 4 and 7 both took hits. Both lost shields, one took some hull damage but neither took serious damage.
On Devon's fire command a little under two dozen missiles and torpedoes flew at the corvette. The ship had no time to maneuver, provide anti-missile fire or even angle shields. The warheads plummeted into the capital ship. Those that missed exploded from the proximity detonations and added their fire to the maelstrom.
The explosion was so massive, everyone's glare compensators engaged on their helmets. When it passed everyone saw that Red 3 had winked off their sensors as a threat. The corvette was still there, being too big to vapourise, but it was now a mass of useless metal. Blue Team had scored it's first 'kill'. However there was now a problem. Only three Z-95's still had missiles and they Y-wings had two torps each. Blue Team had lost most of it's sting. This could be a problem, especially as Red 1 was rapidly regaining shield strength.
As whoops went out on the comm, Devon delivered his message on an open channel ordering the freighters to stand down. As expected there was no immediate response. However the freighters had all changed direction and were converging on the disabled freighter. Wether it was compliance with Devon's order or some strategy of the Red Team, nobody could say.
OOC: Red 3 is down. Nice work. Bet Red Team isn't too happy right now! On the flip side you're almost out of missiles. Reds 2-4 have 4 missiles each. The Y-wings have 2 torpedoes each. Everyone else is guns only. Red 2 has no shield generators but Red 1 is fully functional and regaining shields fast.
