OOC: sent that one too early, sorry bout' that, continuing from there...

IC: His Finistar Expulse Interceptor-Fighter (FEIF-17 for short) jocked and swayed around him as he held on tightly to the side-panel controls, keeping the ship steady straight through the shots of the capital ship.
"What the FUCK do you THING you're doing?!?"
He smiled this time. It was always stressed to officers that the equipment they sent into battle was more important than the men. Men could always be replaced, while equipment was expensive and cost time and energy. He knew it was bullshit, men were worth a thousand ships or more depending on their skills.
At this point the officer on his radio drifted into senseless cursing as it became apparent that Alex was not intending to roll, so he turned it completely off for the time being. His FEIF-17 screamed around him as the shots hammered into it over and over. He was not going to roll, that was a novice's way out of a bad situation. It would throw his aim off. He refused to let the happen. The freighter was so close he could almost see the astonished faces of those on its bridge as he screamed and smashed the red buttons under the SLIDE controls (named for how they are used in combat). He smashed his left hand down and his right hand up against the SLIDE to roll at the last second and felt the mass of the explosion as it sent shockwaves through him and the FEIF-17. A perfect shot, but perhaps his reaction was a bit hasty, as his controls went black around him and the scream of his engine died. "Oh fuck..."
He toggled the INflare light and played with the booster engines and reserve fuel cells. He hit the system engage button at least 20 times in a row, and still got nothing. The only light came through his cockpit window from the now burning and disabled freighter behind his ship as the two floated there quietly in space while fighting continued around them.
This was not looking good.
