OOC: That is insane. You are using OOC knowledge in that you didn't even know that the frieghter would collide with the base. All you know is that it was just moving towards it; maybe just to dock.
Also, what's this about nukes on MANTA'S? Give me a break. That's insane.

New Antigua
The refit design of the Tigershark had been completed, and immediately the two captured frigates were refitted, and several new ships were started on and would soon be completed. The research base also completed designing a variant to the Corvette, which would be called the Shrike Missile Boat.
The base also continued to be upgraded and expanded, and several hundred colonists also arrived. Trade with neighboring colonies was increasing, which brought in more funds.
Meanwhile, the research centers began looking into the ESG; Expanding Sphere Generator. The ESG releases shockwaves out in a sphere around the ship. It doesn't go very far, but lasts for a very long time, and has a special effect; it is designed to destroy all incoming missiles, torpedoes, or rockets.

OOC: Sorry about this, but, sadly, the Confeds have not responded. This should teach you to read all the posts and actually respond to them.

Matar
The Confederate commander stupidly did nothing, waiting for reinforcements that wouldn't arrive. His slothfulness cost him his life, and the system of Rigel.
While the Confederates were procrastinating, Den'Zar was acting. Immediately he launched his attack wings of Lightnings and Mantas, which moved around to the sides and began blasting the Confeds will missile fire. The Firebird fired off several salvoes of nukes, which, though they didn't really destroy any Confederate vessels, did give the Confederates quick a shock. While they were recovering, the Mercenaries pounced on them.
Moments later, if anybody had been watching the battle from the distance, would see over 1,000 tons of debris float away from where the Confederate ships once stood, intermingled with dead Confederate crewmen.
The defenses on Matar surrendered immediately, partially because the Firebird still had some missiles left. Soon, the system was in mercenary hands.
Later, while inspecting the colony, the Mercenaries discovered three damaged Confederate Frigates, and quickly refitted them to the specs of the Tigershark Frigate. They also purchased another Kestrel, and two more Corvettes, and added them all to their fleet.

(Matar is ours. I will commence the attack on Rigel shortly. However, first, I would prefer to keep the Firebird, if possible. Also, I suggest you assemble a fleet and capture Polaris. The Confeds there are mostly cut off and can easily be destroyed, though watch out; they may yet have some tricks up their sleaves.)
