After boarding the Single Soldier Starship, Ji Xinghe took the opportunity to replace a nuclear fuel cell.
"Patrol completed. Old man, what do you say?"
Huang Shisan's voice was very excited, because the flight he was now conducting was indeed, as he said, patrolling over the chaotic skies of the Mountain of Gods battle zone, rather than cruising.
Because of the flight altitude.
No matter how fast the Single Soldier Starship is, at this flight altitude it can't accelerate much, so it's constantly under the threat of Imperial firepower. Without the cover of the Dust Storm, a federation ace pilot like Huang Shisan might face the fate of shipwreck and death.
Because this is not the starship he had previously piloted, which had an energy shield generator installed. That one was destroyed beyond repair. And even with the energy shield, on such a battlefield, it wouldn't help much, useful for a time but not forever.
