User:MaiNoKen

I guess I may one of "older" players around (let just say I am in my 30s). I have been involved in geek stuff since I am kid; I grew up with Apple II and Mobile Suit Gundam. John Lennon was still alive, and USSR was still kicking.

The Otaku stuff I grew up with don't look like anything like this anyway. Anime characters now are cutier (it is all Gainax fault; moe isn't Miyazaki, original Gundam, or Tezuka style :P) Anyway, Melon-chan is cute x_X

May be I am getting too old for this... (I am feeling stupid lately if I use " :3 ")

9 tries: 5 complete win, 2 incomplete win, 2 aborts (All red damage aborts)

1: Dry run, Wo at the boss node rocked us hard, fail to gain air advantage, boss survived with like 20-some HP. ex-support got a lucky shot on boss guard battleship knocked it out in one blow (Atago)

2: Two ships taken red at G

3: Cleaned up all enemies in preboss node, Ayanami K2 did 356 on boss to score kill (Fusou)

4: Shigure got torpedoed at D

5: Clean run. Gained air advantage the first time at boss node.

6: Clean run. Otherwise nothing else to add.

7: RNG picked on Ooi and Kitakami - 2 ship enroute retreat, still tried on boss, fail complete kill

8: Clean kill. Expedition support kicked butt.

9: Fully complete event. Expedition support helped greatly again. Minor equipment adjustment in the last run - replaced 46 cm guns with smaller 41 cm guns.
