I looked over the skills that i now had at my disposal.
Double down : description all skills and abilities effects double , however so does the damage your ship will take while this effect is active.
Regen: Ship Shields will regenerate 2 points for each damage sustained for 30 seconds cooldown 5 minutes
Rebound : all damage taken will be reflected to its original source : cool down 15 minutes
Emp Blast : knocks out enemy ships shields and causes havoc to unshielded computer systems ! varies between 1 second to 10 seconds depending on how close the ships are to you. Cool down 20 minutes
Interesting , how close to those destroyers can you get us with out taking heavy losses ? I asked . A deep monotone came from the nearby speakers . It will take me about a minute to find a route through all these pesky fighters hold on a moment captain . Ok there i have the route fixed ,were in route to confront the 3 destroyers , I hope you know what you are doing captain , if this ship is destroyed you will respawn i will not , in case this is goodbye captain its been an honor haveing you as a friend . Try to drag as many fighters as we can with us to the destroyers ! Here we go activate Emp Blast now wait for it to wear off on the destroyers , now regen followed by double down and rebound. What happened next took my breath away , the colossal swarm of thousands of miniscule fighters just stopped all around us floating like a massive debris field , perfect that’s one outcome i was hoping for , then the destroyers got there weapons and power back online , there opening salvo hit like a mother trucker and we took the full blast from all 3 ships at once ! But luckily my luck was holding out even if it was so tiny it didn’t exist in the human number system. The Destroyers took full damage from there own eagerness to blast me to star dust , cracks and burning fissures formed along there hulls. Any chance we can scoop up those destroyers Zac ? I asked . We wont be able to claim all 3 but the 2 on the outside of there formation look stable enough to keep in our cargo hold . Permission to have the immolation droid to guard the 2 ships . Permission granted , any thing else we can do before time runs out on those skills ? Not much boss sorry . There was an explosion that rocked all the space around us , frigates and fighters were blossoming into cosmic fireworks. We did it captain somehow we defeated the last destroyer ship and i leveled up , tail cannon is now online but due to the fact this ship is a divine class star ship you get to choose how much damage you would like to invest into this ability. The more damage you invest the higher the cool down ! Remember that captain . I looked over the skill Sure enough i was allowed to go from 1 minute intervals with. 2% max damage all the way up to a multiplier of 2000 with a cooldown of 24 hours . I chose the last option and confirmed my decision ! .
Good thing most of these guys don’t have shields on there ships i said to Zac . Yeah he said , wait what is that in front of us I’m detecting something extremely large directly in front of us Captain . A Behemoth of a ship decloaked about 100,000 miles away from us , Dear lord this thing was gigantic , wait Zac magnify viewing screen and increase clarity by 50% at this location on the screen i pointed to indicate where i wanted to zoom in . Seems i spoke too soon at least 1 of there ships has shields of some kind and they seem pissed off for some reason . Hey Zac is there any thing on that ship we would be able to use ? I asked . Some things I believe would be feasible how ever i don’t think we would survive a direct confrontation with something so powerful with out us being equally equipped. Question what’s the status of the ships skills are they ready to be used , yes captain but I don’t think we can win even with an unlimited use of all our skills !
Don’t worry about it my digital friend , this time were gonna Wreck this system either were taking that ship down gutting it and looting it till our perverbial greed hamsters cheeks were bulging or we would go out in a blaze of Glory!
Ok so i figure that behemoth would be kin to the end boss from a dungeon , also what better way for the dev’s to make more money than to make something thats almost unbeatable , that way they can get more people to inject huge amounts of funds into the game , clever sneaky bastards ! Get ready to move Zac and have that tail cannon online and ready at a moments notice ! Ay ay Captain , she should be ready in 10 seconds , i just have to calibrate the chamber for maximum velocity and detonation.

All done captain , tail gun ready when you are , i took control of the steering and slammed into a crap ton of flying fighters , that got there attention and a few seconds later about 1000 small ships were hot on our heels, i doubled back around putting the small ships in front of us and the behemoth well off behind them , fire tail cannon now Zac , with that command thousands of Purple blue and black spectral quantum singularities flew in an extremely wide cone from in front of us like an ethereal wall of death attaching themselves to ships, flying off in random directions, a cruiser or 2 had a few hundred balls stuck to them , the ships in the area were trying to escape the gravitational forces but were being squeezed closer and closer till the center of the skirmish looked like a multi ship faced sphere . It took me a few seconds to realize what i was seeing , now what i asked Zac , now you choose to either let the timer on them expire or you can have them all detonate like spacial charges Captain . Do it now ! Detonate them Zac ! A wave of purple energy exploded from each of the ships as parts of there mighty armada were torn asunder , large holes could be seen like Swiss cheese in a few of the larger ones. Ding Captain I’m now level 3 you can now unlock another ability offensive or defensive. Wait where is the behemoth , then the viewing screen zoomed in and there it was spinning like a top , not sure how that was even possible given our distance from it but i wasn’t going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Can we board that ship ? Yes but you don’t have any one Else but yourself captain , then send the Immalation droid. Yes it was risky to send the only robot we had to secure our cargo hold , but it was necessary to get what ever we could from that huge ass ship as fast as we could . Go Zac ! We crashed into the side of that behemoths large gaping hole and my immalation droid went to work , plasma turrets fireing non stop , i saw from a video on my ship screens , it was taking no prisoners , how does the droid get the items on to the ship i asked Zac ? Does it have to drag it back here. ? No captain he just has to secure the area for about 20 minutes or so and you will get a 100% chance to choose an item from a ship if its captureable. If it isn’t were screwed .
20 minutes later I received a pop up , congratulations on securing your first war ship, since you are the first player to accomplish this mighty task you are allowed to aquire 2 items of value from this trophy ship once you have chosen your items , the ship will automatically disappear once you are 15,000 miles away from ship .
Cool i said , i looked over the huge list of items and chose the collosal legendary shield generator, The mythical set of 30 Thrusters looked worth whjle however i really wanted the Legendary Cloaking device , Contgratulations you have aquired the Legendary item Shisarthian Shield Generator. And Shisarthian Cloak, class legendary . I asked Zac have we got all the items on board the ship yes came his reply how ever we don’t have much time before our structural integrity will hit 0 . I estimate we will die in exactly 15 minutes if we keep taking enemy fire ! Fire Emp Blast and lets get the hell out of here then ! Also see if you can scoop up as many fighters or any ships that are valuable while we are leaving , Rodger Captain . We have secured 75. Fighters also the emp blast was successful however we have lost our assault droid . Figures i said lets get out of here , head back to the hangar bay and get us there as soon as you can ! My ship and I moved back to our original location , a better description would have been limped back to the hangar bay, since there were a few small breaches in hull integrity but luckily we made it back safe and in 1 piece , i even earned a new achievement , congratulations you earned the title The First of the First’s. For being the first player to successfully defeat a behemoth class ship and survive you have been given the title first of the first’s all ship damage has been increased by 100% while you have this title active .
Nice , i was looking over the data and information while we were being brought back to the hangar dock , Hey Zac give me a list of all the stuff we managed to actually get , i know we lost the droid however we can get us another one later i think . We have 2 intact destroyer trophy’s along with the front half of a frigate with an ultra ionic particle cannon. 75 small fighter ship’s in varying states and he was also able to pick up a small addition which was the center core of a alien ship , Zac had no clue about it nor did i get any thing about it except ??? When i tried to view its stats .
Interesting i said , now any idea how much the value of all this would be , i asked? Just then Roark flagged me over and asked if he could have a small chat with me .
He was interested in acquiring the 2 destroyers i had in my cargo hold , and after what seemed like hours of haggling we came to this agreement, he could get 1 destroyer for 100 million crystals , also he would fix up my ship for free, i would keep the weapons from the 2nd destroyer and frigate and he would install all the rest we could use on my dreadnaught, the Legendary shield generator , and Cloaking device had to be assessed and installed . Once done i also asked him if there was a way to turn the 75 some odd fighters we had collected into guided missles , that we could load up to the max with special charges and then send them like speeding torpedos at our enemies. He scratched his chin in contemplation and said he had never thought about useing them in that way but he would be willing to throw that in to our deal if i were to pay 5 million crystals to him, i shrugged and said ok i figured it was worth having 75 chances to actually do some serious damage . That gave us fighter torpedos , 1 particle cannon , a tail cannon , 20 plasma turrets , 15 flak cannons, 82 laser cannons and 3 quad long range cannons
