The Flagrant Vandals fought hard to prevent the aliens from advancing with ease and collecting more information.
The Ferocious Piranhas, the Stingrippers and the Light Hunters formed a classic combination that allowed the Flagrant Vandal mechs to fare extremely well against other enemy small craft.
They made the aliens fight for every scrap of data. Their increasingly more experienced and veteran mech pilots as well as living mechs frequently outmaneuvered and outfought the clumsy phasefighters.
Yet it did not seem to matter.
The Ferocious Piranhas could dive close and use their space suppressors add-ons to weaken and disrupt the enemy craft in multiple ways.
Yet the light skirmishers had attracted so much notoriety among the alien fighter pilots that the Ferocious Piranhas usually got focused down first!
