The Golden Skull Alliance increasingly managed to get a grip on the alien small craft.
Though the enemy combat drones and starfighters doggedly threw themselves at the mechs in front of them with hardly any regard for self-preservation, the powerful mechs easily held the line.
Even if it was a bit difficult for many mechs to take down the faster and more mobile starfighters, there were always other mechs that would complete the job sooner or later.
Between all of the differences between human mechs and alien starfighters, the former possessed too many advantages over the latter!
However, the real clash between the human coalition and the alien pirate groups had never truly centered around their smallest and weaker combat units.
The regular mech forces of the Golden Skull Alliance lacked the firepower to effectively breach the defenses of the alien warships.
