  • RPlog:35 ISY Competition: Vapor vs Slush
rdfs:comment
  • Picking up her opponent, Dana attempts to get the drop on her, rolling her craft in a 180 and arching down from a top side angle. Should Liza counter the fighters could enter into a rolling loop, the typical Dog fight maneuvering. What the older woman was hoping for was a solid first hit, and to cause the younger one to scatter. All or tips glowed for a nanosecond and then the powerful punch was off towards the top flank of the 'enemy' fighter.

Setting
abstract
  • Picking up her opponent, Dana attempts to get the drop on her, rolling her craft in a 180 and arching down from a top side angle. Should Liza counter the fighters could enter into a rolling loop, the typical Dog fight maneuvering. What the older woman was hoping for was a solid first hit, and to cause the younger one to scatter. All or tips glowed for a nanosecond and then the powerful punch was off towards the top flank of the 'enemy' fighter. The kid hit, and Rall felt her ship bounce as her own shields absorb the punishment. Reducing Jal'Dana's shields by half, this battle was going to be bloody. The whole style of the pilots today was aggressive and in your face, and this time it paid off. However, Dana had flown TIE's before there were shields, and a few bumps was never an issue. Not yet anyway. The Admiral's style was the exact opposite of the Flight Officer's. Where Slush had the passion and aggression of youth, Vapor was more deliberate in her moves, trying to dictate the pace of the fight and control it until a mistake was made. Entering into a S-turn with her craft, The pair of TIEs meet at the Apex of the maneuver and it is there that Jal'Dana depressed the trigger. Again the younger woman scores a solid strike on Dana's fighter, and the Admiral can't help but think maybe Liza should be in fighters and not bombers. But the battle was a long way off, and the sweat was just starting to bleed through the first layer of clothing under her flight suit. Clearly the S-turns were leaving her open, it didn't take a engineer to figure that out, so Dana breaks hard right and then down and once the opponent fighter completed the loop, she reared the nose up and fired a linked pair of shots into the on coming flight path. Dana pulls the fighter into a vertical climb, and then proceeds to complete a half a loop in the TIE from this climb, inverting the fighter. She then executes a half-roll to regain normal orientation. As a result, Dana is now at a higher altitude and has changed course 180 degrees. From this vantage she arches down and fires again towards the top half of Liza's TIE. The green shots leap forward in a bunch.
