A taste of combat!

So I finally found a mission to do which was good, and it told me to fly to this acceleration gate. An acceletation gate will warp you to the mission area to complete your task.

My task was to pick up 20 team mates who were trapped but they were being guarded by a bunch of nasty Battlecruisers and fighters. As you can see here, I had to activate my warp drive and escape as I was taking too much fire.

I then returned with some shield boosters and armour repair kits and successfully killed all of them and completed the mission.
