[Costello]

Fleet Information:
[UFP]ArtfulMerkage (Prometheus Class), [UFP]Spock (Prometheus Class), [UFP]EVOXSNES (Prometheus Class), [UFP]Himble (Unknown Class), [UFP]Invincible (Rhode Island Class), DD=Sparrow=A3 (Sovereign Class), DD=PICART=A5 (Unknown Class), DD=Cartman=VL (Sovereign Class)

Outcome: GLORIOUS VICTORY

Report:
Countless UFP Officers have already posted versions of the battles I am posting in the next few Battle Reports but here is my account. From one of the war servers in which I lured and trapped DD, our outnumbering forces secured a decisive victory. One of the earlier battles in the "Submission Wars", before I went on medical leave. Key players in the battle are the Prometheus gunners, with the ability to hit hard and fast it's no surprise EVOXSNES and Spock are up there with for me for the highest kills. Invincible's tactic of targetting their top of the leaderboard seems to pay off, as is my tactical disposition on assaulting the dorsal of a Hybrid. The Hybrid's Shield Generator is relatively weak once exposed, a Prometheus forward spread is enough to disable it. This combined tactic helps bring them down even faster, and ensures Positron torpedoes are not loaded. The Sensors too are a useful target, as they can be disabled from the front and a Hybrid user has to show his front to fire Positrons. Coordinated fire can be of help there. All UFP forces acted with skill and honour, and Invincible's TeamSpeak direction was invaluable as always. I only have but two screenshots of this battle. Imagery is the least of my concerns while slaughtering n00bs.

This is a screenshot just before DD upped and left, as you can see they were feeling a whirlwind of pain.

This is the final screenshot just after they left, i.e the final total against DD for UFP. Our statistics are indeed impressive.

Conclusions:
We attacked DD en masse, we came out victorious. Bringing down a Hybrid is blissfully easy if I can take out the Shield Generator quick, support fire finishes off the godship. This is not necessary because of any reason but we have to take that class of ship out before it can load it's Positron torpedoes.
