This event occurred on my last sortie a few hours ago.
Received a salute and tried .rs, but got a message that no salute was received.
At first I figured he logged, but then he commented on 200.
EDIT Maybe he typed it in manually and I'm a retard. Yep, pretty sure that's what happened.
These aren't the droids you're looking for.
You can go about your business.
Move along.
