My Trophy

Since my return to the game 3 years ago, I've had my sights set on one of today's top players.  We've been playing "Challenge" games all summer and getting the snot beat out of us by Kewlbreeze and his corp.  Well, yesterday morning the tables were turned...

Attack Kewlbreeze's *** Escape Pod *** (86,848-1) (Y/N) [N]? Yes
How many fighters do you wish to use (0 to 15,000) [0]? 500
Your fighters encounter a powerful force-shield around the enemy ship!

For attacking this nice person your alignment went down by 0 point(s).
You have already achieved the lowest alignment!
You lost 10 fighter(s), 86,838 remain.
For defeating this do-gooder you receive 298 experience point(s).
and your alignment went down by 0 point(s).
You have already achieved the lowest alignment!
You find Kewlbreeze's credits worth 25!
Excellent, you have obliterated the target!
...In fact, TOO excellent! You can't salvage anything from it!
