I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary

"Hey, okay ..." "Oh, okay, soot so much" "It looks no good"

You said it was a battle phase? That is a lie. One hour left before departure. As a precautionary measure, I issued a self-check and maintenance instruction to the ship's AI, but I tried to relax in the dining room with Mimi.

"Zee, zeze, aren't you at all?"

I'm sorry to see Mimi trembling like a new born fawn, Chihuahua or something. No, yeah. I'm going to live or die, so it's normal to be nervous and scared like her. Mimi is just aware of the situation and reacting correctly. On the contrary, I'm not nervous at all. From now on, I'm going to genuinely kill each other. It's clearly anomalous that I've never beaten up and I don't feel nervous about going to exchange lives. Why are you not nervous? There are several things you can think of.

First of all, I can guess that my favorite machine, Krishna, is more than that in this world-or perhaps one of the best mercenary ships in the world, or one with extraordinary combat capabilities. One.

This is almost assured, after gathering information, by referring to the performance and armed forces of the ships flowing to the market, information on the latest weapons deployed in the star system, and various other battleship data. I'm not sure how to compare it to the latest ships from the Graccan Empire or the Federation of Bereberem or battleships of different sizes. Still, I am convinced that I can make a good game.

And the other is the reactions of the pirates who came to me early in this world and the mercenary guild uncle and Elma who witnessed the battle in my simulator. Apparently, as far as their reaction is concerned, my fighting ability to control Krishna is a bit overwhelming, or seems to be out of spec. Of course, Krishna's aircraft specifications are simply high, but it is just a casket unless it can handle any high-spec aircraft. At least, my maneuvering skills do not make Krishna a moving coffin. Given these two points, I don't think it's going to be that dangerous in the upcoming pirate hunting mission. I think. So you can calm down. Maybe you just don't feel the danger of life. After all, from my point of view, this world can only be seen as the world of Stella Online. What I mean is that for me, the so-called "game feeling" is not out of the question. It is unlikely to die in battle. There is no real feeling. In such a situation, it is difficult to feel the fear of death. I know that if you are shot down, you will die. I intend to understand it. However, I can count on being shot down on Stella Online too ... only when I was not used to the initial operations. Because if you are shot down, it costs as much to repair the ship as you buy. Insurance will save you some money, but you will also be scattering the contents of the cargo and you will be in the red. Therefore, take sufficient safety margin and act.

If you mistakenly look down when you retire, you will be in a big deficit.

I can't go any further. I always told myself that. For example, Krishna is protected by a three-layer shield and reasonably strong armor, with a hull below it. In addition, there is equipment called a shield cell that charges the shield quickly, and with it, it is possible to reattach the attenuated shield with a slight time lag. If it were completely lost, it would be useless to use shield cells. Aside from the shield cell. It is loaded on various parts of the aircraft, but Krishna has a total of five. This means that if done well, the ship will be safe until all five shield cells are used up. When fighting in Stella Online, I tried to withdraw when the remaining sealed cell was one of the last. As a rule of thumb, if one shield cell remains, it is highly likely that you can safely leave the battle while avoiding enemy pursuit. Of course, if you just fly the ship straight, it will be full of holes from the ass, so you have to be careful about how to escape, but basically, narrow the output supply to the weapon and swing the generator output to the thruster and shield with the gun It is not difficult to escape from the opponent supplying power to the weapon.

"Um, Hiro-sama ...?" "Hmm? Oh, I'm sorry. Just think a little."

I was worried about me suddenly shutting down, and Mimi approached me in a calm manner. I smile at it and show my head if there is nothing.

"I don't need to worry too much. I'm still a decent arm, and this ship is a very strong ship. And you said at the previous meeting? Escape if it's dangerous. I've got enough safety margin alone I'll act, but now there's Mimi too. Don't be afraid. "" Well, it's okay? I'm "" Take care of that blue face first and then say that. But that's all. … I have no choice but to get used to it. Ah, let's just say, it's better not to put too much in your stomach. It's a catastrophe even in reverse.

I don't want cute Mimi to be heroin. I don't hurt my heart so much around the space elf. Well, I'm afraid that if you vomit in the cockpit, you will smell and your concentration will decrease, or your vomit will cause the machine to malfunction. No, I guess it's not enough for me to take out vomit. Cockpit machinery is military equipment.

"It's almost time for the self-check to finish ... but Mimi, if you're scared, will you stay in the colony? If you're a mercenary guild, I don't think you'll be insane." "Yes, no! But if I escape here, I can't follow Hiro-sama! "

Mimi squeezes both fists and gets excited. And chest armor swaying. Today, Mimi looks like a mercenary who doesn't often wear cosplay costumes. Specifically, a pair of tight pants like spats, a shirt that looks a little durable, and a jacket. To be honest, I can't wipe out the feeling of wearing a mercenary-style outfit, but it will soon become familiar. Maybe. It seems that Mimi has a railroad crossing, so he moves to the cockpit and prepares to start. The self-check of the aircraft has also been completed, and the result is all green. There seems to be no problem starting.

"Mimi will contact the air traffic control to start off."

Mimi sitting on the operator's seat operates the communication console with an awkward hand and proceeds with the start procedure. Shortly after, the start timing was displayed on the main screen. Unlike when the ship arrived, the procedure at the start seems to be an automatic procedure by AI. Activate Krishna's generator at the indicated timing and start from Hangar Bay. Landing gear was also stored in the ship, and after a long time he flew out of space from the prime prime colony.

"Wow ..." "The view of the universe is amazing. It looks like a starry sky in any direction." "Yes! And the colony is like that ..." "It looks like a bicycle wheel." "Yeah," "Jinsha?" "Oh, well, there are vehicles that use wheels of that type."

Mimi doesn't seem to know bicycles. Well, it seems to be popular as a vehicle in an eco-friendly colony? Does something go wrong because of artificial gravity? A mystery. Checking the sensors, it looks like some mercenary ships are already waiting, so let's join them. The mercenaries drive different ships, and no two ships are the same. Strictly speaking, there are ships of the same ship type, but the details are quite different due to the customization of each one.

"Well, there are many colorful boats." "I guess the purpose is to stand out. I wonder if he has his own arm or wants to impress the client ..."

By the way, my Krishna coloring is matte dark blue paint with high camouflage effect. At Stella Online, there was a very high degree of freedom in coloring the aircraft, painting, and attaching emblems. I guess there were quite a few pains that couldn't be a pain car that painted a character image such as an animation on a huge transport ship. I didn't do it.

"Noo! What a rare mon ..."

There was a striking white ship among the mercenaries. Elegant streamlined design reminiscent of a swan, large rear thrusters give viewers the impression that they seem "fast". That's supposed to be, it's actually an aircraft with outstanding speed performance. The model name of the ship is "SSC-16 Galactic Swan"-amongst Stella Online players "White Meteor (in the sense that it eventually becomes a star)", "Fe-Eli (because it is a high-speed luxury car with cusso) )], "Runaway super limited express (bound for hell)" and so on.

"Wow, it's a beautiful ship!" "Oh, yeah ..." "What's wrong?" "No, that's ..."

The best speed performance, mobility, moderate firepower, strong shielding performance ... If you listen to this, it sounds like an excellent aircraft, but the problem is its mobility. It's simply too expensive. Anyway, if the operation is too peaky and you just fly straight, you will not be able to control it first if it is a complicated maneuver. I had an acquaintance once, but it was too peaky and I couldn't control it properly. Another big factor is its high price. The speed performance and motility are set to use plenty of high-quality materials that are not profitable, so the purchase cost as well as the repair cost is extremely high. Despite being the size of a medium-sized ship at best, its repair costs are even higher than battleships. And last but not least, an oversized bomb is on board. It is a “runaway” that occurs when certain conditions are met. Even if it says runaway, it doesn't mean that the mouth opens to the hull separately and clutters the enemy ship without permission. It literally “runs away”. It does not accept operations and flies at a terrible speed until the fuel runs out. And finally, they explode. At first, when the feature was discovered, "A bug? ? , Etc., but the funny (praise) verification team identified the conditions under which "runaway" would occur, and since this did not happen on other aircraft, only the aircraft concerned It was concluded that it was a hidden functional set. Stellar online players were completely treated as "spoilers" because of the terrible runaway function and peaky operability, prominent purchase costs and repair expenses ... There is a mercenary to bring to the battlefield. No, it's not a bad aircraft if you master it, right? Both speed performance and mobility are a bit better than my Krishna. However, it only has an annoying function that wraps around the surroundings and self-destructs. That's a fatal fatal wound.

"Is it a bad aircraft?" "No, it's a strong ship if you can master it. It's a runaway at super high speed and it explodes and scatters.Well, if you do a fierce fighting maneuver and even an optical weapon with a high calorific value will not meet the conditions unless you shoot it, " "It's very dangerous. So the one who is on that plane is a veteran who has a strong habit of knowing that strangely, or a stupid choice of a ship only with specs without knowing such a thing" "I see ..."

Tap the ship information to display it. The owner's name is ... Captain Elma.

"Oh ..." "What happened?" "That ship, Elma's ship" "......... Huh !?" "Because it's a self-proclaimed veteran ... Well, I guess it's OK."

Unless you have a fully armed laser gun, you shouldn't run out of control. surely. Maybe. Probably ... No, I'm lying to myself now. At this timing the appearance of the story aircraft, the owner is more sorry that space elf. It just seems like the flag is trying to assert itself.

"Let's pray for safety ... because even Mimi is the first team." "Yes, that's right. If Elma, you'll be fine."

I don't want to know someone dying, but if you're a mercenary hunter, there's a lot going on. Whatever happens when you get into space on board a ship, you're at your own risk. I'd like to help as much as possible, but I don't know if I can afford that ... or, at this stage, there is nothing I can do right now. Normally. I have no choice but to pray.

"Thirty minutes left until the start of the operation. Send the coordinates of the latent point to each aircraft. Please start moving at the beginning of the operation. "

Coordinates of the hiding point are assigned and transmitted from the star system operator. It is quite detailed whether the reconnaissance drone was skipped or the enemy's power arrangement.

"What is this guy ...?" "What happened?" "I just thought it was a little annoying. No problem."

The point assigned to me was a point where the enemy shadow was quite dark. Was it randomly assigned, or ... Captain Serena's smile comes to mind? I don't feel like it's artificial.

"Well, no problem"

You can run away if you need to. Probably not, though.
