Sauron's Revenge vs. Mendelssohn, how it all started...
I'm not gonna bore you guys with the entire SIR vs. FIST story, but this is the message I got prior to the battle:
Hail Sauron's Revenge,
A short vacation in Berchtesgaden, Germany, Earth, Sol, has prevented me from contacting you earlier, but I
assume the message in my flag says it all: Give me any module I want, or I will open fire. For tactical reasons I will not reveal which module holds my fancy, so just set Gifts to ^Any one module^. Consider yourself lucky that I even offer the likes of a SIRian the module opt-out! Mendelssohn
The short version of the battle:
Destroyed:
4 Warp Drives
7 Impulse Drives (which means, all working impulse drives)
4 Sensors
5 Cloaks
6 Life Supports
4 Sickbays
17 Weaponry modules (every working weapon except for a set of rams)
3 Shields
6 PODs
1 Bless WD artifact (have been looking for ages for this one!)
For a total of 57 (!) of his working modules!!, unfortunately most of it turned to stardust!
Lost:
6 Impulse Drives (lost 1, got 5 back damaged)
4 Cloaks (all 4 lost)
2 Rams (both lost)
3 PODs (got those back of course!)
For a total of 7 modules lost and 5 modules damaged
Oh, and I got 200 points of weaponry favour, for a total of 496 weaponry favour!!
