With the new ship systems in place I thought I'd try my hand at a few of the old "Impossible" missions I couldn't beat before. After a few tries of the "Nothing Personal" mission it came down to this.
Just the Custom Medusa Destroyer, the ISS Adikia, and the Elite Battleship Onslaught, the HSS Phoenix, were left on the battlefield. Sole survivor of its fleet, the battle worn Medusa had no choice but to engage the barely damaged behemoth. Knowing that speed was the only advantage he had, the captain of the small destroyer zipped around the battlefield, now a graveyard of ships, using the husks of its defeated foes and old allies for cover. Even with both sensor buoys under Tri-Tachyon control, the range of two ships were equal; the Medusa could not get close enough to fire without taking a barrage of firepower from the enemy vessel. Despite this, the captain was still confident. He would prove that the advanced technology of the Tri-Tachyon Corporation would prove victorious against the outdated Hegemony fleet, remnants of a bygone era. Just like at the Battle of Serpentis, the unshielded rear of the Onslaught would be its downfall. The Medusa maneuvered behind the enemy ship and, using hit and run tactics, it whittled down the bulky battleship, but it was not without risk. The Medusa's shields could only take a few hits from the Hypervelocity Drivers, mounted on the rear of the enemy ship, before overloading. Staying there a second too long would spell doom for the damaged vessel. The battle continued - the Onslaught's armor was stripped away and soon it was taking direct fire at its hull. The rear guns of the Onslaught couldn't handle the damage and were disabled. Victory was at hand for the Tri-Tachyon ship! It launched its final assault at the now limping battleship determined to finish it off. Just then, moments before its destruction, the Onslaught's guns reactivated and fired their kinetic bolts at the Medusa whose flux holds were at their limit from the final assault. The ship overloaded and with one final shot it was all over. The noble captain's career, and life, ended.
TL;DR: GAAAAH SO CLOOOSE!
