great shots there - I had my first proper experience of GWX destroyers firing off star shells last night - what an awesome effect!

Just like your photo, I found those damn destroyers never give up - even after one took an eel from me and was totally immobile, he still kept firing star shells and trying to spot light my scope.

I still havnt come across any 'liners - is there any areas you can go that have more chance of seing one?
