And boy, the blast radius of that Dreadnought is huge. I tried to clear datum and still got nudged around by the shockwave.
You flew... a fighter!??!?! a fighter!?!?! I bow down before your accomplishment. Boys and girls, Rhydderch Hael has essentially taken on a Star Wars Death Star and Super Star Destroyer in one with an itty bitty tie fighter and no 8 meter exhaust port weakness. In real terms, he's sunk a US Battleship with a biplane or speedboat.
I've fought fleets of Kestrels and a nearly invincible alien battlecruiser in EV, Pirate Carriers EV:N, hundreds of destroyer, light capital, and battleship class Polaris ships in waves of 6 (not kidding), but never ever in a tiny super fragile fighter.
Kudos Rhyd.
