Ah, I remember doing this in story mode.  A bit less epic, but nonetheless still the same. ;D
I'd love to hear more about this, if you have time to write it.

Or you could be using a deer slug...
It's overkill and it'd leave a bigger hole. ;D

Safer than me. Personally speaking, I don't understand the point of having a firearm and keeping it hopelessly unavailable in your home. I guess if you're a sport shooter and think that you will never, ever, need to use it for home defense.

Which is why I wouldn't buy a shotgun, honestly. First off, the 870 and most other commercial shotguns have freaking 20'' barrels, which make them awful inside a house, they've got like eight or so rounds max, and unless you're using slugs (which would be overkill), you have to put your entire shot pattern on your target, otherwise loose pellets will go flying through your drywall-- potentially into family members, friends, or loved ones.

A shotgun is just not a good home defense weapon. I'd rather use a handgun-- and I do.
Well, it my shotgun me that feeling of safety when I'm alone at home after school.  Not that I'm gonna use that on anything soon, as there's nothing good to hunt right now in my area.  Still, for home defense, that pistol is gonna leave a hole in the wall no matter what.  One rule I like saw with weapons is: (NOT TRUE, just a joke ;))
Weapons Safety - Means do not miss
Props to you if you know which game that came from.

...I'll probably never buy a shotgun. Just no real point.
Are you kidding?  Not preparing for the apocalypse???
Nah, just kidding. ;D It is fun to go to the shooting range and kill a few clay pigeons, and every now and then go hunting.
But I'm getting off-topic, back to phobias.  I'm scared of heights only when I'm outside, e.g. looking over a cliff or top of a building, and not when I'm inside.  I love to be in airplanes, it's a beautiful view outside.

The story is great!  Also a nice touch to add a female captain instead of a male one.
my only grudge, why are both the Hegemony and TT after her?

Wait, are you serious?..........
Me?  Yes, I am serious.  Remington 870 (no advertising here - just mentioning the name), 20 gauge.

Too bad we can't get a proper shotgun in-game, it'd be epic. ;D

Personally, I own a shotgun (I'm 14, mind you!) and I know all the safety rules.  I clean it and keep the thing in two pieces when I'm not using it.  That qualify as gun safety? ;D
Ah, I hate wasps.  Forgot the time I got stung...hurt like hell for the rest of the day.

Why is everyone afraid of needles?  It gets kinda...boring (?) after the first time you draw blood.  No offense, though.

I'm deathly afraid of heights.  Also have stage fright.

Does that mean you dislike the Storm Needler... :D

7th and final addition to the newly christened "League of Nonaligned Worlds" (a.k.a LNW or League Navy)

Angel Support Fighter Wing:

Armament; x2 Railgun, x2 Sabot (Single), x1 Mining Laser*
*I needed to give it some form of anti-missile defense without it becoming too similar to the Longbow.  This is what I came up with.h

Author's Notes:
Named the "Angel" because of the shape the wings create when they are folded down to provide more space for weapons(wings are folded up for storage).  The shape also gives way to the reason why strike and bomber pilots named it: it was something like a godsend to them, saving friendly lives by bringing down enemy shields and overloading reactors to make way for the heavy-hitting ships to fly over and release their ordnance.  This ship has amazing maneuverability because of the quad engines mounted in the center and wings.  One can turn on a dime in seconds by just cutting one engine slightly.

Epic!  Finally, a proper Pirate faction with stolen ISF and RSF tech. ;D
Make Grey Mist more challenging?  Hell, that's already the hardest mission for me! :o

Thank you for all the advice! I was having the hardest time with the Coral Nebula mission where you have almost all strike craft. I ended up taking command of the carrier and just micromanaging the fighters/bombers to attack all at once and beat the mission and only lost 1 wing of bombers.
Lucky you, the Nebula lags my CPU so hard it makes it impossible to play. :-\ But good job!

Looking good, TheSoldier. Are these ships ingame, or is it just the sprites you have completed?
All are in-game and real for battle!
I'm still looking for a midline freighter, could anyone do that?

EDIT:
Scratch that last part, there's the Gemini.  Totally forgot about that freighter, it's kinda unused.  This mod will make it used! ;D
