Captains log: Team Artemis 1701, played Hive76 on 6/25/11: BvB combat to start, 1,2,3 go, Artemis 1701 "attack pattern 6 alpha, engage" warp through lay mine and "boom"...Artemis 1701 to Hive76, "what happened"?...Hive76 response, "you killed us I think." It didn't take Hive 76 long to realize that we weren't messing around, they quickly adapted and the fight was on. On one pass Hive76 hit us with something that knocked our scanners off-line and damaged our forward shields (probably a nuke), we quickly pulled it together with damage control then noticing Hive76 trying to dock we flew in with another 6 alpha attack, Hive76 warped out in the nick of time. We tried to dock, in came Hive76 with a mine attack, we barely evaded in time. All of a sudden each of the two accessable starbases were surrounded by mines and our ship was running dangerously low on energy, I assumed Hive76 was low also so I gave the order to boost forward shield, proceed to dock and take mine damage..."Boom, Boom", two mines detonated completely lowering our front shield but we were able to commence docking, Hive76 saw our redock attempt and decided to do the same, not realizing we had boosted our shields..."Baboom"!!! Victory!!! Then after another round we found Hive76 facing two mines we thought we had the advantage, we flew in alpha attack again this time Hive76 hit us with something big "Boom", Hive76 had prevailed. We then played a round of co-op level 5, piece of cake for two semi-seasoned captains and crews. Thanks Hive76, we had a blast!!!
