Ok, I'm making up for my long-term absence from telling stories. 
(This story occured using the "Galactic Scourge" plugin.)
I had just destroyed the Confederation Cruiser "U.S.S. Hannibal," and had returned to the Rebel capital of Pashlife. There, I was paid for my devotion to the Rebellion, and I was granted access to the Rebel Destroyer. Previously, I had been flying a new Rebel vessel, the "Sentenial." The Sentenial was like an extrememly heavy fighter / light warship, and I had even seen them take out Confederation Frigates with there emense firepower. The Sentenial were armed with six mass drivers, one proton turret, and a generous supply of missiles and torpedoes. I now upgraded to the Rebel destroyer, and outfitted it for my next mission, which wasn't going to be easy. I bought plenty of upgrades, which gave my "Triton Corsair" a speed of 450 a.u, an excellent turning rate and acceleration that constantly saved me from the waves of Confederation missiles that often came my way. I fitted the "Triton Corsair" with three proton turrets, extra fuel tanks and ramscoops, shield capacitators and generators, and two torpedoes launchers, which had a somewhat rediculous supply of one hundred torpedoes. Torpedoes were my favorite weapon, and were crucial in the destruction of capital Confederation vessels. I was now ready for my next mission: Destroy the "Battlegroup Four" flagship, a Confederation Battleship. The Confederation Battleship is about two / three times the length of a Cruiser; It carries fourteen neutron turrets, which will tear even a Rebel Cruiser to pieces in a small matter of time. In addition, the Battleship carried about twenty "flea" class interceptors, which were extremely fast, and armed with twin proton cannons. In numbers, these vessels were dangerous. When I arrived in the system where I was to destroy the "Battlegroup Four," I was greeted by the ship's flea interceptors, and three Confederation Light Destroyers, which were the equivelent of the Rebel's "Sentenial." (The Light Destroyers also carried three flea interceptors.) So now, I have 29 Flea Interceptors chasing my ship as I attempted to escape their combined proton firepower. Had it not been for my excellent speed, the fleas would have instantly destroyed me. However, using menuvers such as swift circling runs, I was able to pick them off one by one. I had destroyed about ten of them while receiving light damage, so I decided to give them a rough firefight. I slowed my ship down to settle this chase, and fleas began to fly off in all directions, flaming and exploding. I was beginning to take proton fire, but there weren't enough fleas to finish off my reliable Rebel Destroyer. For about ten minutes, I fought the fleas, and by the time I had finished the last one, I was on my armor. Fortunately, I had fitted "Durasteel" and "Armaplast" to my ship, so my armor offered tough resistance. I was relieved I had finished the fleas, so I head for the Light Destroyers. The Light Destroyers looks somewhat like a Frigate, only smaller, with clipped wings, and stabilizers attached to the wings and hull. The Light Detsroyers were really cool ships: I hated to blow them up...BUT, they were Confederation, so I had no problem with doing so. The Light Destroyers were armed with twin proton turrets, so primary weapons engagements with them weren't too dangerous. By the time I reached them, my shields were almost fully recharged from the long journey towards the capital vessels. By the time I actually saw the Light Destroyers on my radar, I had fired off ten torpedoes, which finished off one of them. I then made a charge right toward the duo, spraying them with proton fire. Their shields began to dip, in which one of the Light Destroyers exploded before he hardly began firing. The other Light Destroyer came right toward me, and we battled it out. We made three passes on each other, with my shields depleted to half-normal status by the time he was destroyed. Now, I could finally complete the actual meaning of the mission: Destroy "Battlegroup Four." When I saw the ship on my radar, I wasn't too excited, but I was extremely excited and happy I had such a large supply of torpedoes. Once on my radar, I began firing off torpedoes as fast as my twin launchers would allow, keeping an eye on the flagship's shields. I made circles around the monster, staying out of range of the extremely dangerous red neutron turrets. I kept firing my torpedoes, in which I was surprised at the Battleship's shield recharge rate and toughness. Each torpedo normally reduced the shields by one percent: far less then I wanted. By the time I had given the Battleship all of my 90 torpedoes, his shields were at 2%. I now had to finish off the flagship with my proton turrets, and fast. I made a "kamikaze" assault at the ship's back to avoid heavy rockets, and gave him all I had. My shields were rapidly falling, and I held out as long as I could. Atlast, I was on my armor, which was also falling very fast, so I quickly headed out of range of the Battleship's turreted death. My armor began to recharge, and I was about to give up hope of destroying the ship. Here he was, about five times the length of my destroyer, waited to kill me. I was wandering wether or not to leave the system, when my prayers were aswered. A Rebel Cruiser had enetered the system... Having my hope restored, I joined up asside the Cruiser and made the approach toward the Battleship. My shields were now on low / medium status, and the mantas made their assault. The Mantas, as expected were, quickly torn to shreds by neutron fire, so me and the Cruiser went in to finish the Confederation menace. We began to fire proton bolts rapidly, while fortunately the Cruiser took the bulk of the neutron fire (which I couldn't afford to take). For about 10 seconds, be fired away in a desperate attempt to finish off the thick layer of Tritanium armor. Finally, I let out a shout of joy as I saw the ship's status dip from "Shield's Down" to "Disabled." It took about five seconds to actually destroy the Battleship, even with seven proton turrets firing. I watched as the Battleship exploded, which took about 15 seonds...The ship drifted, began giving off small explosians all around the ship, before it actually blew. So large was the explosian that the Rebel Cruiser's shield status dropped from 28% to armor. My shields went to half-armor also, but aleast the Rebel's worse enemy had been destroyed: "Battlegroup Four." The Battle had been a fun and extremely tense one, but I didn't really feel like going out and seeking another Confederation Battleship anytime soon.
So did you like the story? All this took place last night...I've been generously giving my time to the Rebellion cause, and enjoying every moment of the Rebel mission strings. I would also like to recommend the "Galactic Scourge" plugin...It's excellent, and makes Escape Velocity twice as good as it ever was.

Looking for Disco Cow are ya? I saw him mainly in Emalgha and Miranu systems, and once in a southern Igadzra system. And if you're wondering where I was, I was on vacation, a very expensive vacation that is, to Hawaii. So I basically don't have any stories at the moment. But I'll be sure to come back with more for ya!
