came up with a good one

hard sleet
#

@timid zinc any interest in joining guardian squadron and providing escort for our bombers?

halcyon dew
#

I wanna say that I will organise it next time, but I am not ready for such a commitment šŸ˜…

void rivet
halcyon dew
#

But I am afraid that it is too much power for us to handle @void rivet

void rivet
#

Next time, my friend. Next time.

calm talon
#

There's actually a lot of cool things a joint TF/BG could do. Probably set up as a TF.

#

Since landed orbitals can provide repairs to units they have bays for.

#

And all you have to do is stay in supply (and not shot out of the sky)

fluid cave
#

Burn a supply and everyone reloads

#

That sounds like fun. The captains land and man the cannon while their crew unloads as 2 tanks.

#

Then you can pack up and fly away as needed

calm talon
#

Probably what you'd have to do as an ODT formation. Land ODTs/PA, have them clear out a 2-radius spot for safe landing, then plop down orbitals with tanks in 'em or something

#

By wording of the rules a PA could use a heavy drop pod bay to fix itself

quasi crown
#

I wish INF bays had more DC

fluid cave
#

INF bay and normal drop pods should both have more DC

quasi crown
#

Honestly that mobile medical center that atlas has is really cool

#

VTOL bays and med bay to be a mobile med unit

zealous palm
#

They need to double the capacity of both, and up the PAI drop capacity to 2 on the heavy, LM can still drop one.

quasi crown
#

It is 2 for PAI in the HDP tbf

zealous palm
#

Nope, unless it was changed recently it's 2 for ODST in the DP and 1 PAI or LM in the HDP.

#

Ok, it looks like game start is Saturday/Sunday, and first orders in middle of next week.

fluid cave
#

They can drop 2

#

Pardon my mobile screenshot of the sheet

zealous palm
#

Cool that was changed then

hard sleet
#

How do you politely ask the captain of the CV you are on to divulge the entire staff of their ship so you can write some RP posts.

quasi crown
#

Well, it wouldn't just be Daimyo staffing the ship

#

It would be all the crew

hard sleet
#

But who would the flight ops fall under. And all but 3 people onboard the ship are aerospace last time I checked

quasi crown
#

The aviary? here is the crew list:

image.png
hard sleet
#

I understand that but he other crew are also in charge of the ship. Just donā€™t know what roles they play. What positions they hold. Is someone lore wise in charge of guns while someone else is doing flight deck ops

#

That is a very nice crew spread

quasi crown
#

Daimyo's unit is technically just the captain so I imagine the other crew would have ATC & etc but its lore so I would just ask amongst the crew what you guys want to do for lore stuff.

ATC on the sheet is whoever will be responsible for ensuring the Aero units are putting their orders in

void rivet
#

Turns out, we discovered that, they'd have a LOT of problems

#

Problems that could be solved by more money & crew, but money & crew was not had

#

Thus, McFat chose the safer option and joined here.

#

He's in spirit in the Iron Hammer sheet too, under the number 69 (hehefunni) Salute

slow whale
# hard sleet How do you politely ask the captain of the CV you are on to divulge the entire s...

You can ask me anything. I'm just an @ away most times. My lore only has three characters at this point. Two Tella Avery (Shoebill-1 & Captain) and Cyan Avery (Magpie & Helmsman). Also have Renard who's essentially crew chief and quarter master. Don't really have any other roles filled at the moment as in my head my company is bringing you all in to help fill out necessary positions as my company just doesn't have the man power or expertise in various areas.

hard sleet
#

Well dam. We need to find who in the crew is the ATC

void rivet
#

You can ask me anything.
@slow whale How are you doing ? :D

#

I like Renard. Because french name, I'm absolutely fucking biased.

halcyon dew

Baller. I am guessing our one infantry is ship wide security chief, the medics are the onboard medical team and the others can take whatever roles they want.

#

If you see them in chat please ask them on my behalf.

halcyon dew
#

I just saw that my Q&A question was answered, unfortunately no guarantee that repair kits will be restocked during the mission. Gonna get the Repair Kits Storage for sure now

slow whale
mossy flare
#

Lore wise the Gremlin clan serves the ship with fervour. We're marines so can partially fill any role with a focus of repelling intrusions. I'm not sure where we're needed most importantly but I was guessing refuel/rearm would be useful to speed up turnarounds

timid zinc
#

Also, what's going on rn?

hard sleet
#

trying to figure out the lore of peoples units. I was trying to get an escort for the bombers going

timid zinc
#

I wouldn't mind joining. Though yea, already said I'd do cap.
Not sure if that's actually necessary though šŸ¤·

hard sleet
#

screw it, mind if i join you then?

halcyon dew
#

My unit all setup now!

rapid sorrel
#

I need to write-up some Primo Victoria lore

Want some help with that? I'd be glad to help with breathing some life into ARMCO's greatest* battleship

Move to L-W1 and hold it until situation changes

#

we only had 27/43 people vote on the poll but I think this is an uncontroversial win for the initial plan

rapid sorrel
#

That's about 63% so I'd say it's a rather safe majority

quasi crown
#

So only a 30% voted for this but from various conversations most people seemed to be on board for this plan

#

Anyway! I made a page on the sheet for lore stuff to go in! I have not made it with any formatting yet so feel free to have some fun with it

rapid sorrel

I mean hey, can't be mad if you didn't show up to vote

The captains may not be dictators, but they do have the steering wheel. Once you're on the bote you're stuck. šŸ˜„

You're free to leave whenever you'd like, airlock's right there XD

Fine, but I am taking my coffee machine with me

I gave up on planning forever ago because honestly sometimes their ideas are better than what I can come up with lol

#

I had a character once who used mage hand to throw gunpowder into pirates eyes and then used prestidigitation to ignite it

#

this was in 3.5e and the action economy was a bit weird

halcyon dew
#

Absolutely amazing

#

My players are too serious for that kind of shenanigans, but I would love for them to do more wacky stuff

Any big updates today?

So shack just said that for set up at the gate the aero units can be deployed outside of the ships

Aviary can help from a further distance now

Weird, I had a ping but nothing here

#

@rapid sorrel my friend @small valley wants to join us as an additional fighter on the PV is that okay?

zealous palm
#

I think we still have room

quasi crown
#

yeah, there is room on PV and CA

zealous palm
#

yah, I count 18 spots, we have 16 so far

edgy harbor
#

We can always dump the decaf overboard to make room for another fighter. As for the coffee? Eh... to avoid a possible mutiny, no comment.

north crown
#

I think thatā€™s a good idea I could feel several peoples blood pressure rising from here

edgy harbor
#

Yeah besides, how else are we supposed to maintain the hourly caffeine quota for the gunnery and ammunition crews? If the guns ain't shooting then we ain't winning after all.

#

The coffee is definitely important and totally not worth being airlocked just so we can field an additional fighter. Trust me on this one guys. (I'm absolutely not being held at gunpoint at all off camera)

We'll get to see TF3 and TF2 do it

lyric turret
#

Besides guns at the ready and active scanning can't prep much for the first round

zealous palm
#

yah, first round orders are likely to just be captains piloting the orbitals, aerospace assets flying escort, or taking off if they start landed, and scanners/comms intercepts

solar ravine
#

Speaking of flying escort, did the change to flight decks only include +1 aero storage or both that and +1 launch capability?

quasi crown
#

There isn't a difference I believe

calm talon

The actual doc hasn't been edited, but the hangar bay text should match the VTOL bay text, which explicitly says store and land/launch 2 units per turn

Vice Captain on deck and reporting for duty (realized I could store away my light freighter, that way if things go south I don't lose it without even using it so I quickly deactivated my Captain, did that and reactivated them.)

You're not supposed to be able to stockpile free upgrades, but captains are weird. Cheese would know.

edgy harbor

Can we ping them? (Or is it like with Shack that they can't be pinged)

calm talon
#

No, there's no ping restrictions for him.

edgy harbor
#

Oh ok

#

@clever axle I think I found another bug with the bot. I was able to store my light freighter away on stockpile but from what I'm being told I should not be able to do that?

#

-# god, first the debt glitch and now this? Am I cursed or something-

calm talon
#

It's also possible that you're allowed to stockpile light freighters specifically for ~reasons~

edgy harbor
#

Well, the bot let me, so I did. Unaware of whether or not I'm actually supposed to be able to do so.

clever axle
#

You are not, please retrieve it and I will look into it when I can

edgy harbor
#

Ok

clever axle
#

Which won't be for a couple of hours

#

You are not supposed to be able to stockpile items you didn't spend player req on, so the Freighter, LM chassis, Mech LL, or the two req of crew rooms

rapid sorrel
#

Not sure what you'd even store it for? It's not like you can use it without a Captain

fluid cave
#

The big issue is the crew free things and the LL from the mech.
The rest you get for free and can only be used by a unit that already has them.

rapid sorrel

Yeah that all makes sense

It's just funny under the Captain specific contexr

I hope we get rail weaponry someday. more diversity for orbital armaments would be nice.

7 LFs in a really, really big trenchcoat

#

In my head Orbi MBCs are rail guns

rapid sorrel
#

Personally? MBCs are like the bot cannon towers, just an oversized MBT turret

hard sleet
#

I like to think of them as just massive fuck off naval guns in the variety of 380mm

Autocannons are like the AV-7 walker but bolted into the side hangars of the Venator the PV once was

Wish we had the option for double, triple or hell even quad barreled turrets. Kind of how irl Iowa battleship has 3x3 406mm gun configuration

You must submit orders via https://discord.com/channels/222052888531173386/1385616519882346546 not the sheet. **The Orders Tracker page on the sheet is for TACCOM use ONLY **

When submitting orders, if you or the taccom find something wrong with your submitted orders YOU CAN NOT EDIT TO CORRECT YOUR ORDERS. You must RESUBMIT YOUR CORRECTED ORDERS AS NEW ORDERS AND DELETE YOUR OLD INCORRECT ORDERS. It's a headache for the taccom enough without having to recheck everyone's orders for edits. Please look out for your shipmates that make playing this fun game possible!

Order Submission Template:

* Unit Type: 

* Ship(If Crewing):

* Order Type: [Advance, Rush, Hold, Evasive, If crewing see sheet for fleet wide/equipped actions]

* Movement/Action Tracker(If not on ship): [Breakdown and list all the movement you are using for tracking purposes.]

If firing a ship weapon:
* Intended Target:

If Helming or not on ship:
* Starting Coords: 
* Ending Coords:
* Facing: [You all need Facing, so a cardinal direction like North, South-East, etc] 

Specific to your unit: [So, any equipment, transporting, carrying & tracking supplies, etc, that goes in here.]

Plus I can edit this with the Template once Kael & I determine how we want it.

Also I need everyone to put their callsign into the sheet, didn't think about the fact that we need that to check equipment after lockin

Which of the two?

I'm fine with yall doing that, I did make a space on the new mainsheet

Do we need to put In orders individually? Or as a group?

quasi crown
#

Everyone has to put their own orders in

zealous palm
#

yah, everyone puts in their own orders, and then Cael and myself make a map, and submit it all to Shack. Though Orbital Captains and Crew, i.e. gunners and stuff, should make sure they coordinate with each other.

#

It's looking like fluffle is going secure the gate turn 1, and then move out to explore turn 2, TF2 and Storm are moving on Elim turn 2-3, and we arrive on Turn 3, and should have a clear path to LW-1

First game for me.
How detailed does it gotta be?

If I want to just stay with the ships and defend them. CAP

I'll also prob ask for some help once it comes time to making the order

#

How does orbital orders go if we don't have internal maps? Do we just declare an action from the possible options?

#

I would assume so

mossy flare
#

Is the only benefit to fleet crew being able to buy orbital equipment then?

sinful latch

That, and they get 2 req worth of equip, which means you pay 1 req for 2 req of equipment

If you want, you can just copy paste the template like I did, and fill out what sections you need, deleting the rest

And probably something that we should clarify with shack

People take damage if they are manning something that gets hit?

We don't know yet

We know you definitely can if a fire starts

And shack has said in the past that if the captain dies the ship does so better safe then sorry

I'd rather not end up getting 9 people killed because I wanted to aura farm XD

I think thatā€™s understandable šŸ˜‚

we are still clearing the gate then going to Nav L-W1 right?

If you want to aura farm just stand on the bridge and hit one of these

Or if something changes while we are out.

#

Btw, can we submit rp orders?

#

Or do we have to wait till we actually show up to do anything in the orders channel

rapid sorrel
north crown
#

You can put a small RP section in your orders but donā€™t make it to long shack doesnā€™t always read them so itā€™s more for yourself

#

If you wanna do some RP you can probably do it here? Just donā€™t clog the channel

#

Oh you meant pre orders?

#

Probably not? Can always ask shack tho

I also prefer not having to learn to fly an entire damn spaceship in the span of 30 seconds

If he stockpiled the extra hull then heā€™ll still keep it but you need the captain to bring a hull so he wouldnā€™t be able to use it till he bought another captain

The plan, is not to die

But death may happen, and if one of us must die, I would rather it be us

I will ask Cobalt to evac people with the most to lose should we come to that

Yes that means you Hose

Nah I donā€™t need Evac I live or die on the ship wether itā€™s mine or someone elseā€™s I plan to live but Iā€™ll happily die if I get just one more hit in the enemy

Does Masa's infantry have upgrades?

nope

which is why I'm willing to crew - I'm not wasting any capability

Whatā€™s our gate exiting formation?

That one is more of a roster than an actual battle plan

Oh no I was talking about the capital ship formation specifically, sorry should have specified

I just copy and pasted the entire image from the sheet

Would probably be described in this section of the order posting

I'd assume you'd put formation info in the Unit Specific part

zinc spruce
#

Would I have a starting Coords because we aren't in combat/have a combat map?

rapid sorrel

Your starting coords, when they become relevant, will likely be the same as whatever ship you launch from

They're almost always the ending coords of your last turn from then on out

I heard we wanted to move Logan to the PV?

Welcome to the squadron. Itā€™s a pleasure to be flying with you.

It's @slow whale and @keen yacht Choice.

#

Basically we could start with Logan on the PV. While I add another Fight deck and Cargo bay to the avairy while Firewing swaps over to keep a flight deck on the Exodia

hard sleet
#

I am down for it so long as everyone else is up for it.

keen yacht
fluid cave
#

No. They wouldn't be deplotyed anywhere

#

You had mentioed that you wanted to crew the PV

#

This would get you there without me needing 4 turns to get you over there

north crown
#

I thought he was deploying the ACS to another ship then moving over to PV?

slow whale
#

I did like the ACs as a defense option and extra possible actions for the people stationed on my ship, but I'm not going to keep someone on if everyone agrees to the shift.

fluid cave
#

Yeah. That was the plan.
It takes 4 turns for me to move Logan.
In either case I can trade with Firewing for extra actions on the Aviary.

#

If we want, we could swap one AC for a cargo bay

#

If I start on the Aviary it takes 2 turns to move them instead

calm talon
#

Didn't Shack say crews could just move between ships within reason?

rapid sorrel
#

I think this is the reason

fluid cave
#

Actacully a msg link would be perfect if you remeber that.
(Unless you're talking about the Q/A)

calm talon
#

My search-fu is failing me, but shack has made statements like this

#

That particular one's a little old

slow whale
#

I felt that was more in reference to not have to worry about logistics on making sure BGs could deploy but I'm not sure.

I think it should take an action to transfer within task force. Perfectly in reason

Udown are you okay getting moved?

lyric turret

Yeah I'm the simplest to move

Cause I can always move which ship I'm during the game

#

@keen yacht You okay if we only use 1 AC?

keen yacht
#

How is that going to work?

fluid cave
#

We'd just update the sheet

keen yacht
#

Since both my ACs will be deployed on whichever ship I go to

Unless you mean you can move them?

fluid cave
#

You just can't stockpile them because they're free upgrades

lyric turret
fluid cave
#

We however can ignore the upgrades you have

lyric turret
#

Just let me know which ship I'll start out before we jump into real space

#

I imagine I'll be hopping to whatever ship takes crew damage anyways

fluid cave
#

Yeah. You'll probably get carried to any units that suffer damage

keen yacht
#

Sorry Iā€™m just a bit confused

fluid cave
#

No

slow whale
#

I believe with the plan they were suggesting, you would stay on my ship, Cobalt would swap with Firewing to be on my ship to maintain flightdeck balance, which means you can transported to PV in 2 turns instead of 4

fluid cave
#

Yes.
And we'd only use 1 AC

#

Me being on the aviary can happen either way

#

It's just if your okay not using 1 AC in exchange for 1 Cargo bay on the avairy

#

The only thing we'd need to up date is swaping the AC you have on the sheet for the Cargo bay I have

keen yacht
#

Oh, can I swap my equipment?

keen yacht
fluid cave
#

I'm bringing it with the equipment I have

keen yacht

Oh okay

My HAT was originally called the Flare. But I forgot to put that in the Callsigns for C2.
I got Beacon from my list and just changed the unit name.

What we really need is 21 character names so I can fit ā€œLong Dawn Of Tomorrowā€ /j

I just shorten whatever word I want my callsign to be

Like if I wanted Valkyrie, just shorten it to Valkyre

Originally my MBT was "Falchions" as in the sword type but with 7 characters not even "Falchion" works, so I was forced to come up with a new callsign for them and ended up with "BLADE-1"

More a crackle, or is there enough juice for a decent boom?

ā€¦ it is a mech laser so maybe a bit of a bigger boom. Or maybe it just gets wedged into the ships hullšŸ˜‚

Oh man, a limpet mine with a LL attached would be scary to deal with

Some people got really into military designations and made a bunch of codes case black was the worst case scenario where our entire entry is going to be contested

From space all the way to the ground

I see, I wouldn't update to a code black just yet. The path may be dangerous but it's not necessarily worst case scenario, just some bot resistance. Now if ann entire bot fleet showed up then we would have issues.

We'll have to wait until next turn to make any final decisions but mr man on the PV's main gun (yakove) wants to strike the battlecruiser so if we can, we may turn to engage the enemy directly.

It also depends on what Atlas and Fluffle end up doing.

they are likely to be busy for atleast 6 turns, maybe more, dealing with automaton orbital presence

#

atlas will also be moving towards the planet, but they could wait an extra turn

#

thats not the plan though

both fluffle and atlas will be moving along pre-planned paths

I don't think the bots at Lussan Gate will be feeling much of anything when Victorum shows up. At least, not for long

whelp, enemy BC at the gate, hum, well if they chase fluffle, Atlas will hit their rear, and if they chase Atlas, we'll hit their rear

We love hitting rears in this house

ok so what have i missed

thin fulcrum
rapid sorrel
#

What? Am I wrong?

#

The rear of a ship is wholly, and totally unarmored

#

Of course you'd wanna hit it

All I'm saying is turnabout is fair play. Next thing you know is a bot cruiser comes out the gate and comes for your rear

That's what the arrow formation is for

I canā€™t wait to start shooting stuff

Just caught up with the chat. Are we sending our full aerospace force to hit that ship or are we sending some fighters for interception.

quasi crown
#

Depends a bit on what happens when Atlas pops out

#

I think we should go to 4218

#

Can't wait to do "on your 6, Atlas" and come out of the gate guns ablazing

hard sleet
#

4218 seems fine to me. My main question is how many turns it will take to cross into another map.

quasi crown
#

Though, I'm afraid the Enemy BC is going to chase fluffle so we may have to do 4118

hard sleet
#

We will figure out as we get. Closer to deployment.

We also have to consider the Transports coming in behind us

#

well with us I guess

A bit disappointing. We gotta get the big girl in better shape

If Nav Field 1 has hostiles we may need to fully commit to escorting the automated freighters in

Hol up. I got an idea

Just remember we can move much faster through maps with no enemies cause we can use FTlā€¦ so we need to kill them fast and then move on!

That's brilliant

rapid sorrel
#

Oh man! We should totally have a chimichanga party after, everyone gets 1 chimichanga +1 for every ship sunk. The length of the party is determined by how many bots we kill!

hard sleet
#

Do fighters count?

rapid sorrel
#

Part of the TaskForce, no?

hard sleet
#

For the chimichanga party. Do we get +1 for every flying toaster we shoot down?

rapid sorrel
#

1 per squadron

hard sleet
#

Iā€™ll take that.

Have I been moved again or we set with starting positions?

Should be set for now. If we start taking losses Iā€™m sure youā€™ll get bumped around if we have time

Good morning everyone, here's Atlas' likely plan for next round:

-We'll drop out of the gate and move in a relative North by North-Easternly fashion. Optimally we want to place ourselves behind the predicted path of the enemy battlecruiser or between Fluffle and the enemy Battle Cruiser. We will also use our ships sensors and Comm-Intercepts to discover the unkown points of interests and reveal the enemy's intentions for next round.

-At the same time our fighter wing, Soteria Squadron, and the Light Freighter Black Pearl will peel off from formation to engage the BC and fighters directly.

-We will continue to move North to Nav Point one at full speed while engaging the enemy and providing cover for Fluffle and Civilian ships. Optimally, the enemy will follow us and keep their attention away from the gate and TF1 Victorum's arrival.

halcyon spire
#

So what I'm hearing is that there's a good chance of us arriving before the Battlecruiser dies šŸ˜Ž

mossy flare
#

We'll see I guess

edgy harbor
rapid sorrel
#

Unless that BC starts chasing, it looks like we'll be starting with a broadside

quasi crown
#

I think having your bow aimed at it when we come out of the gate will be best for maximum MBC fire

edgy harbor
#

Im curious, since Venators got two bridges and the Primo Victoria is based off of one, is one bridge Cancer's whilst I'm at the other?

zealous palm
#

Well one bridge is the ship one, the other is carrier/taskforce ops. So I would be there with either one of you is there lol.

#

Since I figure it's also where the scanner is.

edgy harbor
#

Well, I'm at comms/comms intercept so I think we both would be on that secondary bridge then.

#

I wonder if I can utilize the comms intercept on that battlecruiser already... (probably not and will have to wait till we exit the gate, but if I can? Then I'm most definitely doing that)

quasi crown
#

Well, someone better be at the helm lol

edgy harbor
#

Yeah, that is what the captain is supposed to be doing whilst eating chimichangas.

#

But I think he may be a bit too lost in the chimichangas sauce to pilot the ship at the moment-

Then just say commit tax evasion or overstate your charitable contributions. We charitably donated 15 BP worth of ammunition into bot heads.

I'll charitably donate 20 supply to the Primo Victoria

Oh dear. I should not have signed on to be a QM

I saw something that caught my attention on the Atlas comms and now I'm curious: could a light freighter be docked on a vessel much larger than it such as a battleship and be carried that way?

rapid sorrel
#

Not that I know of

edgy harbor
#

Probably not, but I think it would be funny if that's possible (it would also be a primitive escape pod-)

calm talon
#

Well... The boarding rules say that the ship you're docking with has to have its engines disabled... So I would imagine no.

#

in the sense that you can't dock two ships and then drive one

rapid sorrel
#

You tryna dock a light freighter on PV next campaign? XD

rapid sorrel
edgy harbor
#

Probably (I was thinking, if it was actually possible to do this, what if my light freighter was the literal MBC I brought for the PV? And it just detaches like that-)

#

(Escape craft MBC)

calm talon
#

So you trying to do Gundam remote gun bits, but with ships

edgy harbor
#

But other than that, imagine if we could dock a smaller orbital within a capital one. Kind of like the Tantive IV in that MC75 on rouge one.

guys. the enemy battle cruiser has a lot of OUR chimichangas. we have to take it back

Who shot the chimichanga shipment through the gate by itself?!

we should blast it to bits.

so like 4-5 days?

Do we have all guns crewed?

edgy harbor

Think so

calm talon
#

last I looked we had 9 crewable stations and 8 crew (not counting captain and the bomber pilot)

quasi crown
#

I believe one of the crew is transfering between ships after deployment from aviary

rare lantern
#

PV has 9 crewable stations, yes, but only 7 of them are guns, so the guns can be fully crewed(also only 7 non-captain/bomber crew)

calm talon
#

we want the scanner/comms modules tobe crewed any time we have a hostile orbital around tho

#

its critical for us to know their intended move so we can line up the guns
