Task force 1 - Victorum: Comms

[quasi crown]

TBF currently the only ones that will need to be manned are the ones on the facings towards the BC

[halcyon spire]

Damn chat activity really died XD

At least I know I'm not missing anything for once.

[mossy flare]

Yeah we don't have any orders to put in until the weekend

[north crown]

I’m sure we will get active as soon as we get more midrounds

[mossy flare]

I mean you want to chat, I'd love to build the ship lore up a bit.

[halcyon spire]

ooo, ship lore.

Now, knowing Armco, everything that we have is some level of we didn't have enough money so we winged it.

[mossy flare]

That seems to be the way

[lyric juniper]

I would just say we’re just a quiet group, but with nearly 7k messages we’re in third after Storm and Flying shovels

[fierce sentinel]

Isn't also a large part of the crew for the ships pretty new, like first time joining a campaign? So they might be a bit more quite then players who have been in a campaign before this.

[calm talon]

There also isn't much to talk about while we sit here and wait.

[slow whale]

Yeah, just wait until everyone gets dropped off and is putting in orders. Like 40x the midround events, 10x the maps, bunch of coordination between groups. It'll speed up. I for one am just chilling for my sanity before I dive in with the next turn.

[halcyon spire]

Yeah, I bet once we're actually on map more messages will start appearing.

[edgy harbor]

On the sheet we should add a section in the lore zone for each ship and its crew, saw another task force that was doing it like that and I think that should make it easier to start writing any lore.

[hard sleet]

I was starting to write some RP for Warden joining up with Exodia but gogurt has not been here to answer some questions. And I also don’t know if any of the crew wanted to take a role as deck crew.

[sinful latch]

There is a sheet for it, just needs formatting

[edgy harbor]

Yeah that's what I meant

Like, the sheet is there but I feel that if we give some semblance of order to it by formatting it, then it would make writing down lore easier and more straightforward.

[sinful latch]

I'd help, but at work. I'll work on it once home, unless someone beats me to it

[edgy harbor]

Ill try to give it a shot and get started on it

[zealous palm]

Yah Cael any myself will probably start pulling for orders, and plans after this next mid round tomorrow/Friday, depending on when it drops.

[edgy harbor]

Now, I'm not entirely sure about how exactly to go about formatting it but I did write a short and simple idea for a framework regarding the ships themselves on the lore page.

[lyric turret]

Ship lore first crew can then rp how they joined if they want.

[edgy harbor]

Should there also be a section for like say, crew traditions/customs? (For example: the chimichangas bit aboard Primo Victoria) or would that fall under a more "miscellaneous" type category?

[rapid sorrel]

Chimichangas are for the whole taskforce

We are BBQing the meat on the Corvus afterall

[edgy harbor]

https://tenor.com/view/morgan-freeman-true-morgan-freeman-true-nodding-gif-13973817878387504960

So for those who haven't seen the lore page on the doc, here is what I wrote for how we could structure the lore for each ship. Idk how to create and edit the boxes on sheets to make it look nicer and more formal as has been done with the equipment/loadout list but I hope someone more well versed in this program can do it.

[hard sleet]

What about those of us who do not have a ship. How would crew, medics, infantry, mechs, and aerospace also share their unit lore. Or is that for individual crew lore. Or is that part for captains to put down their bridge officers

[edgy harbor]

That would go under individual crew lore, yeah. Though a separate thing could also be created for individual units/crew if this doesn't have enough space.

Though way I see it, that last part could simply be expanded into additional sections to hopefully fit anyone who wants to include individual unit lore

[hard sleet]

I can see if I have time once I get home to give my attempt at making it look a little better

[edgy harbor]

Ok nice

(Also by classification, I don't just simply mean if it's either a battleship or a battlecruiser, but also to possibly include what its role is. Like artillery platform, brawler, carrier, battlecarrier, etc. like I'm pretty sure aside from Star Destroyer, the Primo Victoria would probably be referred to also as an artillery platform with all its fixed MBCs.)

-# (and the twisted echo could be described as a "fleet tender" or repair craft. So on and so forth.)

[rapid sorrel]

Really? I'd say it's more of a brawler

Once we get more ships of it's class and I can swap the sensor suite for DCT and repair kit storage, I'll really be able to just jam it right into an enemy formation

My current dream is
3 Fwrd MBCs
3 Port Autocannons
3 Star Autocannons
DCT
Repair Kit Storage

[edgy harbor]

Now that would be a truly deadly spearhead

[fluid cave]

That’s 12 crew for the guns. +1 for the captain

Get 2 more and you’re a TF by your self

[rapid sorrel]

Infantry marines and medic squad

[fluid cave]

So 1 captain
8 Crew
4 infantry and 2 medics
Sounds perfect

[quasi crown]

I was thinking it could be broken up into: TF lore, Ship lore, and then Unit lore

[edgy harbor]

Though yeah, actually I guess artillery platform would more fit a ship that has multiple arc/turret MBCs and is more focused on big alpha damage at range, with its current loadout I feel the Primo Victoria is a unique blend of the two, it has the big guns spread out in such a way that it can strike a wide range but also they are positioned in such a way that diving headfirst into the enemy will ensure they are all blasting.

[rapid sorrel]

Swap 1 inf for mechanic with flamethrowers

[quasi crown]

I would like to have an RP only character that is basically the flag officer for the TF. After orders were in I was going to include a recording of them talking to the fleet or a CIC meeting if others want to be recorded.

[rapid sorrel]

Ooh, a scene like everyone around the PV holo-table?

[edgy harbor]

If they ever added something to boost speed such as say afterburners, would the PV be fitted with some?

[rapid sorrel]

Hahahahahaahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

...no

[edgy harbor]

lol ok

[rapid sorrel]

We will come for them

They will see us come for them

And they will dread

For there is nothing they will be able to do

[quasi crown]

Yeah basically

[rapid sorrel]

Storm Blessed has Elim maps

[edgy harbor]

For my captain I was thinking of rping them to be akin to fleet intel in the homeworld games (since I'm on Comms Intercept), stationed on the PV to aid in transmitting and spreading intel across the task force and assisting in coordination efforts. Perhaps acting a bit like an AWACS.

[covert palm]

can i put an RP only order in our orders?

[rapid sorrel]

Maybe we have a separate sheet for RP?

So that our official orders aren't bogged down by them?

[quasi crown]

We do, its a tab on the sheet

[zealous palm]

ok TAC-COM orders channel just opened, so T2 midrounds should be released late tomorrow or friday, so we can start looking at what orders we want on saturday

T3 orders will probibly be due Sunday, or Monday, not sure yet

[gritty crystal]

it doesnt look like us bombers are organized into squadrons yet, so ill form the Morningstar squardron (because we bludgeon our enemies? idk name can change)

i need 2 other bombers, and the remaining 3 will be in a different one

[fluid cave]

Make sure you get 1 torpedo bomber in each

[halcyon spire]

#campaign-information message

[unkempt smelt]

FAST turn around this time

[halcyon spire]

I'm now struggling to read timezones 😅

[unkempt smelt]

I'm only struggling because it should be 1800 or 6PM EDT and not whatever that is 😄

[halcyon spire]

Ok T3 player orders, due for me 6am Monday.
-# probably

[halcyon spire]

Go to the message I have linked, it's a timestamp.

It can't change when it's an image. 😆

Can someone confirm what time the previous map release was made in EDT? #campaign-briefing-room From my understanding that was monday 6pm (ish)

[zealous palm]

it was 708 PM for me, and I'm central, so 8:08 PM I think

[halcyon spire]

But it was monday for you?

[zealous palm]

ok, so yah, Tac Map will be released Friday Evening/Night, orders are due end of sunday, and yah it was

[halcyon spire]

Ok neat, so I was doing the calculation properly

[zealous palm]

yep yep, I expect to see a lot of chatter in here friday night/saturday morning on where the captains are going, and what's going to be shot by who, if that BC isn't down afther this round

[edgy harbor]

I'm ready to stand in a room full of captains talking about how they plan to maneuver their ships and contribute nothing because I didn't bring my own orbital! :D

[halcyon spire]

Haha, same. :D But we'll be ready for the next campaign with the money we're about to get.

[zealous palm]

truthfully Hose, if your unit is actually a captian, I can easily see you being the Admiral/Commodor in charge of this task force RP wise, since an Admiral never captains his own ship.

[halcyon spire]

Oh nvm, I didn't bring a captain XD

Damn hose, you brought a captain, nice.

[edgy harbor]

Yeah, I got my promotion by buying all the chimichangas (and got into debt doing so )

[zealous palm]

same ALX, didn't have enough rec to get one, spent to much on my IFV, and my bomber/inf units

ohh that's right, your the one that figured out the debt issue rofl

instead of buying the free equipment

[halcyon spire]

Ohhhh, hose was the one that did it? XD

[edgy harbor]

I am Mr. -1 req

[halcyon spire]

Ha, nice.

[zealous palm]

yah, he's the one that found it out, and it was decided to let him keep it

[halcyon spire]

He now has to work to pay off the debt.

[edgy harbor]

(Also because I wasted my free orbital req on an MBC before that one could be deducted, there was actually someone else who accidentally became captain and went to debt but he hadn't spent the crew req yet so cheese simply deducted from that)

[zealous palm]

had I known that the Arty MBC was arc for free, I missed it, I would have spend mine on either 2 flight decks, or 2 HMG's, since I want both for my ship, and an ARC MBC would be better then the one I bought

I'm seriously considering buying another crew with the rec reward, and upgrading that with the 2 flight decks, and then upgrading that to captain and buying the Cruiser, that should end up being 5 req total, and leaves the MBC crew to use on other ships

[halcyon spire]

I had to check this and yeah, damn that's good.

I had not noticed that before.

[zealous palm]

especially since it looks like, as long as you own an artillery, you can buy it using that, and move it into stockpile, and then move it onto a ship using crew/captain

unless that's not intended

[edgy harbor]

I don't know if it is

[halcyon spire]

I don't think that's intended.

[zealous palm]

that makes it a 3Rec MBC, that has arc for free, and takes up 2 CS

[halcyon spire]

Maybe check first 😅

[zealous palm]

yah, I would certainly poke that at shack, to make sure it's not an exploit that's not allowed

[halcyon spire]

That actually makes arty a good crew choice if it was an arty only upgrade.

[zealous palm]

yah, it really does, a BB with 3-4 Arty could have a bunch of ARC MBC's front, and left/right, and fire at everything around them with atleast 1, if not all 3-4

what I would love, is an upgrade/ability for the flight deck, to hold an arty and use it as a mobile MBC

[edgy harbor]

I'm still iffy on if the arty MBC upgrade is fair or not, though I guess it's more that you have to pray that arty players decide to become glorified gun batteries on your ship than anything or else you're stuck with crappier cannons.

Though then again, does make coordination pay off more

[zealous palm]

the SPHA scene from star wars episode 3, where it fires the laser out of the hangar of the venator, it would be cool if an arty player could move out on the deck, like a Mek can, and do that

even if it was an ability/upgrade of the Self Propelled arty

[edgy harbor]

That scene is sick as hell, think it was in lore Anakin who came up with that idea?

[unkempt smelt]

Violently hungry for my dinner chimichanga tonight

[zealous palm]

yah, I think the idea was created by him in the clone wars cartoon, canonically atleast

[edgy harbor]

I think it would be cool if they added some form of fire control and/or flight control upgrade for orbitals that boosts allied ships offensively or defensively (like say giving more range or a damage buff, etc.)

[zealous palm]

target cordinators, give +1 range to MBC and AC's

[rapid sorrel]

Then let's get out there and drop some clankas, yeah?

[edgy harbor]

Or to make it more interesting, they could designate a certain target at like 4 or maybe even 5 max range to allow for all guns with a firing angle to hit it, if the designated target is within standard firing range it could instead grant something like a damage buff (or maybe even increase the range of the crit window? Imagine the possibilities...)

[north crown]

Apologies been extremely sick what have I missed

[edgy harbor]

Not much?

Idk

When where you last around?

[sinful latch]

Fairly sure you could move it, but it would just act as a normal MBC

They are likely the same in SAM

Also, I fully expect the numbers on the Ary MBC to get shifted, and to be fair, it only gets truly broken by the fact that it is repeatable

I could buy 4 MBCs

4 ARC MBCs

Mind, that's still 8 RQ

[zealous palm]

that is true Zeb, as an arty player, how do you like the idea, of an upgrade/ability, to park one out on a flight deck, and fire it at other ships?

[sinful latch]

...Imma stay in the ship

Besides, Arty has no AP

MBC has 3

[zealous palm]

pull an episode 3 laser strike out of the hangar bay

[edgy harbor]

It doesn't?????

[fluid cave]

A d6 turreted is worth the -3 AP

[edgy harbor]

Wait, do orbitals even have armor?

[fluid cave]

Yes

[sinful latch]

Yes?

Like, alot

[sinful latch]

HE shells

SPG also has no AP, unless you buy AP rounds

And to quote myself, on tryong to aim the Arty gun out of anything:

[zealous palm]

Orbitals have 1-3 Armor on the front and sides, and 0 to the rear

[edgy harbor]

I feel stupid for missing this crucial fact 😭

Head = empty

[sinful latch]

The Primo Victoria has 3 Armor

[zealous palm]

I think the LF has 0, but it might have 1 also

[sinful latch]

MBCs have 3 AP

[zealous palm]

pulling up the sheet now

[north crown]

Three days I think

[edgy harbor]

Ok then never mind, I think you've missed a lot

[zealous palm]

ok, LF to Frigate have 1, CC and BC have 2, and BB has 3

[north crown]

I got the new Covid strain cannot recommend

[calm talon]

so far you only really need MBCs for BBs

[sinful latch]

Ouch. Please rest

[calm talon]

for everything else spamming ACs seems to be better

[edgy harbor]

For starters, that would mean you probably didn't see the bot battlecruiser show up in midrounds

[north crown]

Ah no someone pinged me about the I vaguely recall having a brief panic through my fever haze

[edgy harbor]

Oh

[zealous palm]

ok so your 15 second wrapup, Fluffle just exited the gate, found a bot BC chasing civilian ships, and haveing destroyed one, it's escorted by some fighters, Atlas is exiting the gate 'Now' and plans to perform a pincer attack, their fighters swinging wide foward and intercepting the bot fighters, their heavier elements crossing the BC's bow, to cover the civies, and thir LF Gunship swinging wide to face the BC, all hopeing to fire on it.

that's the wrapup

[north crown]

Nice thank you.

[zealous palm]

oh, Storm is pushing for Elim, and not sure what Fluffle is doing, they havn't posted yet

[north crown]

I assume storm is just blasting through where they can?

[edgy harbor]

It's most definitely going to be up to us to take out that battlecruiser, everyone else lacks the firepower to do so.

[tough jay]

will update briefing after Turn 2 Midround & tacmap sent out

[zealous palm]

Storm exited in the middle of Fluffle's formation, and yah their blasting at full burn for elim, might do a drive by on that friagate, might bypass it and head strait for the deck, that'll be turn 3 though

[fluid cave]

We're also figuring out orbital movement too

Atlas is testing things

[tough jay]

would like input on movement & attack methodology when that comes out

[zealous palm]

Atlas has some decent firepower, but not nearly as much as us

[fluid cave]

Can we start in the air coming out of the gate?

[sinful latch]

Also, I had something for the Taccoms, if they were interested

[zealous palm]

one of their ships has a MBC, the others I think have HMG's and maybe AC's

[sinful latch]

Stolen from TF2, layouts for tracking Orbital sections and actions

[edgy harbor]

I'm pretty sure I can predict what the Primo Victoria's master plan will be once we show up:
-# full ahead directly towards the battlecruiser

[zealous palm]

from what Shack has said, aerospace units can start out escorting orbitals, but I'll double check that

[halcyon spire]

That's cool.

[fluid cave]

Okay, I'm gonna be starting in the air with @keen yacht on me. I assume that's valid?
Assuming Logan still wants to crew the PV

[halcyon spire]

https://tenor.com/view/rogue-one-battle-of-scarif-scarif-star-wars-gif-19761980

[zealous palm]

I'm going to have to talk to the Atlas Taccom, and see if I can steal their TTS icons

[thin fulcrum]

Yeah, we're lucky to have Ixen

[zealous palm]

or pull in my own, I'll be doing that saturday after work probibly, so I can populate your orders and post it in here by mid day sunday, for last min fix's

[keen yacht]

Yeah I do

[unkempt smelt]

I can hear the music playing as they pull out of the gate and erupt in laser and cannon fire

[edgy harbor]

Oh yeah, btw I want to ask the taccoms if you have need for a backup, backup taccom. For if so I can do it, I've got TTS and everything to make maps if needed.

[zealous palm]

I think so, but I'll poke shack friday night/saturday morning and verify, so you guys can know asap Saturday and hopfully have most of your orders in to me by mid day sunday

[halcyon dew]

--- RP POST ---

[crude slate]

Just leaving these assets of TF1 here for y'all

[zealous palm]

thank Honid, funny thing, Ixen and I are in GR3 right now working on it

[lyric turret]

Rp
I want my shuttle stocked with all the medical supplies it can hold. Who knows where I'll be needed with most of the medical staff making landfall.

[keen yacht]

When are we going in by? I haven’t exactly been keeping track lol

[fluid cave]

We join the fight next turn

(After the current one is processed we need orders)

[gritty crystal]

im so excited'

DEATH TO CLANKERS!

[tough jay]

https://tenor.com/view/donbass-ukraine-primo-victoria-bmp-gif-19876397

[hard sleet]

Hey Cobalt. Can I get a description of your HAT. Writing something about TF Victorum forming up and resupplying. Would like to include some vague descriptions of other peoples units provided they are ok with it.

[fluid cave]

Sure, it’s a pretty standard cargo plane.
It has the equipment on board to set up a food and drink station while supplies are being unloaded.
Otherwise It’s a massive plane with 2 giant jet engines on each wing with a large elevated tail.
The back can drop a ramp large enough to fit easily fit a tank.
It’s mostly grey besides the Giant “Beacon” on each side.

[zealous palm]

Ok the word of the day is back, all aerospace assets can start as if they had taken off right before exiting the gate, and don't need to worry about taking off this turn. Cobalt you should be clear to land with the first group of personnel transfers.

If no order was put in, it's assumed that the aerospace asset is still on deck, and waiting.

Btw, captains, ping me with your desired ship outline color, red is taken by enemies

[fluid cave]

@keen yacht This means you can have your primarary be manning a gun on the PV

[keen yacht]

Nice

Let’s blow some stuff up!

[fluid cave]

I dibs the Comms intercept then

[coarse oxide]

Time for orders yet?

[fluid cave]

Not quite, but most orders aren't changing with the new infomation we'll have tomorrow

[glad flume]

Could I get teal/cyan?

also, is it possible to put a rotation command in my orders? like rotate slightly so one of my cannons can fire at something in front. then roptate to allow the other?

[slow whale]

Would probably go orange, but I'm fine with any color.

[edgy harbor]

I'd go with blue (Yes, I know my ship ain't present but I am a captain, am I not? )
-# /j

[rapid sorrel]

Just a blue dot XD

[rapid sorrel]

Probably like a bright yellow/gold

[edgy harbor]

If for whatever reason I end up having to assume helm of the ship, would be funny for it to just instantly turn blue.

[rapid sorrel]

Would be funny if there were two Captains on a ship and the main one died, then the second takes over, but it would be a logistical nightmare

[edgy harbor]

Yeah, at the very least I can most certainly in case of emergency control the Primo Victoria for the rest of this campaign should you somehow die before the ship blows up.

[rapid sorrel]

Nah, I'm pretty sure that doesn't work like that unfortunately

[edgy harbor]

Well damn, at the very least if the ship just automatically dies if you do and we're boarded, I can act as a decoy and buy time lol

[rapid sorrel]

It'd be cool if it did tho

But then you run into the issue of who owns PV at the end

[edgy harbor]

Well, if you ask me the PV belongs to the company that commissioned it in the first place which would be you, so if it was up to me then it would probably be either be refunded or perhaps even stored away in stockpile till you got another captain ready to take helm of her. To me that is what makes the most sense.

(Also it would be weird if one can just casually yoink another person's orbital this way, if I'm getting a battleship orbital it shall be with my own requisition.)

Oh boy, that frigate is packing some heat
#midround-events message

[sinful latch]

We'll kill it

[mossy flare]

Pretty sure we have more heat

[sinful latch]

Hell, just let the bombers have a go, it'll die

[rapid sorrel]

Ooohohoho!

That frigate is OURS

No one's allowed to have twin MBCs but us

[edgy harbor]

They copied us! They must die

[winter token]

Hope our Comm-Int goes well. We should have that BC's pathing for you

[edgy harbor]

We will be awaiting your intel report, good luck deciphering their systems.

[winter token]

C-Null is a Robotic unit. (not a "Bot"), so he should have an advantage here.

Shoulda seen his RP asking for what to do.

[edgy harbor]

Where is it?

[tough jay]

[winter token]

@ Hose #1382037040438181950 message

[edgy harbor]

I see

Neat

[tough jay]

New Hostile Orbital Detected

[zinc spruce]

#midround-events message Thats mean [weapon wise]

[rapid sorrel]

TF2 is considering boarding one of them

[zinc spruce]

real

Board the Frigate if possible

[zinc spruce]

though what do they have to board?
INF Or PAI Or just whatever Boarding things give

[rapid sorrel]

I believe they have boarding pods

[winter token]

We've got 2 PAI, engi, INF, boarding pods, and VTOLs to shuttle. It's definitely doable, just probably not worth the delay to Elim.

[tough jay]

Boarding pods are short range, going get ripped into with multiple volleys before they make it

[edgy harbor]

Hm, I think it would be best for them to focus on their original objectives once we arrive. We are more than capable of eliminating those 2 ships on our own.

[zinc spruce]

fair enough

it would just be nice to get more info and maybe another ship that has MBCs

but Main objective first

[rapid sorrel]

Frigate's MBCs are forward facing, it's not impossible to outmaneuvre them

[edgy harbor]

An encirclement maneuver should prove most effective against it

[hard sleet]

or, we just send every bomber in victorum at it

[tough jay]

waiting for finished midround & tacmap, then we start cooking up a plan

[rapid sorrel]

Whatever they decide to do, I'm of the opinion we support them fully

[hard sleet]

Amen

Need to finish typing up my pre op RP and get it on the doc before it starts to feel irrelevant.

[pine ferry]

I hope we at least get sensors on all contacts

[tough jay]

currently updating the intelligence slides of the google slides

[rapid sorrel]

I say that Frigate is public enemy #1 since it's the easiest damage to wipe from the board

That Battlecruiser's likely living a round or 2 no matter what we pump into it

[pine ferry]

Idk I feel like if we really focus fire we have a decent chance of one shotting the bc

[zinc spruce]

where is that?

[pine ferry]

Especially if the bombers get through

[rapid sorrel]

It'd definitely be a setpiece entrance, but it only has 1 MBC to the Frigate's 2

[tough jay]

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1C7XcMLvxMKG9ifr8r-DTr6qZEIK8laE7e_uc8KypPzQ/edit?usp=sharing

[zinc spruce]

thanks

[pine ferry]

Aren’t some of the hard points unknown? It could still have more

[rapid sorrel]

Granted, we don't know what the BC has on the back yet

[pine ferry]

It all comes back to we need more intel to make a decision

[rapid sorrel]

But as it stands with the info we have now, it looks like Bot Capitals are designed to be tanks over damagers

[zinc spruce]

What can the Big ? be exactly?

Any weapon?

[rapid sorrel]

Not something we have access to if it is

Unless it's LRMs

Idk if any of our orbitals have LRMs

[zinc spruce]

we had access to em pretty sure though

or mabye PD

[rapid sorrel]

It's massive, which in my head says it takes more CS than an MBC

[zinc spruce]

Maybe
I shall wait to see more midrounds

[rapid sorrel]

We do, but idk what the icon looks like, since I don't know anyone who took them

[zinc spruce]

.

[rapid sorrel]

Okay then yeah, I have no idea what that could be

[hard sleet]

I think HMG

[zinc spruce]

I Also think HMG is logical

[hard sleet]

same Icon used with the other ships that have it.

[zinc spruce]

Its just the general Icon

[rapid sorrel]

And remember, just because it's Frigate sized, doesn't mean they follow the same CS rules we do

[hard sleet]

also sadwolf, as you are the only other fighter stationed on Exodia. If you are up for it I would love to get a better understanding of your unit. can you give me a brief run down of what your unit is, who is in it, and what your fighter looks like. Only if you are comftarble disclosing that information of course. If you don't have it that is also fine.

[zinc spruce]

I Will in a few currently busy [DM me to remind me lol]

[mossy flare]

I got tired of waiting and splatted some lore on the sheet, let me know if I conflict with anyone's aboard the Aviary

[rapid sorrel]

Oh yeah, where is that lore sheet?

[hard sleet]

good lore Son. modified nailguns sound horrifying. especially from spacers in the crawlspaces.

[tough jay]

Plan subject to change by popular input, just putting initial ideas to tangible plans.

also fighter and bomber flights, start filling up your members and getting names for it.

they will probably be your go to battle buddies for the forseeable future.

[quasi crown]

Lore sheet is a tab on the sheet

[rapid sorrel]

I feel like you've told me this before and I still can't find it

Am I blind?

[quasi crown]

May need to scroll through the sheet tabs on the bottom

[hard sleet]

It is one of the tabs

[rapid sorrel]

Oop, yes, yes I am

🤣

[quasi crown]

Ok, so, I have some thoughts for a plan

[hard sleet]

hit us with it. Dose it involve the fuck it we "ball" formation?

[quasi crown]

PV, and Exodia come out the gate to Hex 4218
CA Comes out at 4117
Aviary comes out to 3918

Aero assets come out and bomb the BC while the Orbitals focus the Frigate first

[hard sleet]

I would say that the aero should go fight the frigate as it has no PD meanwhile it will deal out 2 hits and cause 2 fires where as the BC can only cause one and has 2 PD weapon systems

[rapid sorrel]

How much damage do our bombers do total?

[tough jay]

6

hits

[fluid cave]

Max

[rapid sorrel]

Damn, that's 1 off from our Frigate's 7

[hard sleet]

what is a frigates armor?

[fluid cave]

Maybe a fighter will get through and that should put us cleanly in the it's very dead

1

[rapid sorrel]

Does TF2 have bombers that could help down it?

[hard sleet]

because fighter can also strafe and try punching through

[tough jay]

1 armor

So fighter/bomber wolfpack and kick the fucker while he's down style

[fluid cave]

With 9 fighters one should get through, and another should hit if a bomber misses

Obliteration.
Remember we're not starting supplied
We don't need to

[thin fulcrum]

Negative, all our bombers went with the Triple S into Fluffle

[hard sleet]

12 fighters with a 3 in 4 chance to deal damage. maybe 6 attacks get through at the very least if we get intercepted. so 4 extra hits from fighters if my math is right

[rapid sorrel]

With fighters a turn 1 Frigate alpha strike could totally work

[quasi crown]

Don't forget our toredo bombers will do auto fires on hit as well

[tough jay]

the problem with the frigate plan is the enemy fighters in the way

[quasi crown]

That's fair

[tough jay]

we'll have to see if they allow us a gap to exploit through

[quasi crown]

In anycase I think aviary should go away from the enemy ships

[tough jay]

Still doable, but not all guns will be usable to attack target due to enemy interceptor tag.

[hard sleet]

Very true

[fluid cave]

Any hits on the fighters is okay. We'll probably kill them

[quasi crown]

LEts wait for the full tac map

Maybe atlas managed to do some damage

[pine ferry]

What if we have a few of our fighters in the front go evasive to try to intercept the enemy air without taking damage

[quasi crown]

We still don't know what the other weaons are that are on the BC

[rapid sorrel]

If the Exodia comes out at 4318 it can pump that last hit into the Frigate

[fluid cave]

We need to come out of the gate

You've got 1 speed from there I completely mis read the Exodia as the PV

[rapid sorrel]

Yes but at speed 2, 4318 is within reach

[quasi crown]

That was my thought, as well as the mech can start to blast fighters

[rapid sorrel]

If he's okay with spearheading for a turn

Then PV can catch up with him after that

[fluid cave]

Barely

[quasi crown]

We can always slow down for PV on later turns

[fluid cave]

The mechs ignore ponderous, so they're good for side swipes

[rapid sorrel]

But an alpha strike on the Frigate to kill that 2 guaranteed hits per turn is a good trade in my eyes

[quasi crown]

Also twisted echo should follow aviary

[rapid sorrel]

Mechs as anti-fighter support is hilarious

[rare lantern]

The bombers that dont have torpedos dont have AP right? So theyre not guaranteed hits

[fluid cave]

5/6 is good odds, but we are assuming a lot

[tough jay]

we all roll a 1

[hard sleet]

It may very well be an armor 2 vessel ater re reading the midround

[rapid sorrel]

It could be

Here's to hoping it's just flavor text 🤞

[fluid cave]

New orbital moudel:
Directional Armor 2 CS You can +1 armor in a single direction. MAX 3 armor. Cannot be the rear.

[rapid sorrel]

Ooh, don't tease me like that

[rare lantern]

Eh directional armor did exist but was removed, probably because having a single armor stat is easier to understand

Hmm, what if the frigate is actually Armor 3 lol, it does say Heavily Armored

[rapid sorrel]

That would be brutal

Imagine a fleet of brick shithouses with cannons

[hard sleet]

nah, armour 8, speed 2. no weapons.

https://tenor.com/view/ajr-brick-throw-ajr-brick-throw-jack-met-jack-ajr-gif-9892393028507050460

Actually...

Please no

[hard sleet]

yes. yes it will

Keep that thing away from me

[edgy harbor]

The litany of litany's litany

[winter token]

... Tell me you've got a good plan to kill both of those ships

We're spiraling in Atlas lol

[rapid sorrel]

We've got concepts

We're thinking of a bomber/fighter alpha strike on the frigate, and an orbital focus on the Battlecruiser

We're just unsure of the level of "heavily armoured" the Frigate is

[winter token]

I think Shack meant "Heavily Armed"

[hard sleet]

either way, bombers should mess it up badly, torps do cause fires and can hopefully disable sysytems

[fluid cave]

We should have the frigate very dead.
The BC should be focused on us after turn 3

[winter token]

Excellent, thanks

[rapid sorrel]

If it doesn't, Corvus can slip to it's rear and broadside the hell out of it

[edgy harbor]

we can always divide and conquer, we by far have both the number and fire supeority. Their 3 MBCs vs our 7? we got this one in the bag (even if we dont count the two on PV that cant reach due to being fixed instead of arcs, we still have an overwhelming firepower advantage)

[zealous palm]

well depending on our facing and the spacing of the enemy units, we can get

• 2 MBC's onto the BC , and maybe 1 MBC and an AC on the Frigate from Primo Victoria.
• 2 MBC's onto the BC or Frigate from the Corvus Aurorae
• 1 AC and 1 MBC onto the BC or Frigate from the Exodia
• 1 AC onto the Frigate probably from the Aviary

Thats 5 hits onto the BC, and 2-3 onto the Frigate if everything hits and works out
There's also two Torpedo's from Wisp and Zeta, and 4 D6 AP0 Bomb attacks from the other 4 bombers, plus the fighters

[edgy harbor]

if everything including the bombers hits, we could easily wipe out one of the ships this upcoming turn and finish off the other one next

[crude slate]

Enjoying the target rich environment, I see

[edgy harbor]

it be only 2 ships as of this moment, this is the appetizer

[zealous palm]

A Frigate has 7 hits, and 1 Armor, AC has AP1, so it should auto hit the Frigate, we could kill the frigate this turn probably, the BC has 9 hits and 2 Armor, the AC needs a 2 to hit, MBC will auto hit, unless a 1 is always a miss.

Torps are speed 2, D4, AP3, and causes a fire on hit, they should probably be focused on the BC, and if they bombers can get within 2 tiles before firing them, they should hit same turn.
Standard bombs are D6, no AP, will hit a Frigate on a 2, or a BC on a 3, should probably be focused on the Frigate

AA missile pods are D4, range 3, single us and non reloadable and should probably be saved right now.
Standard Fighter is a D4 Snub HMG, and should be anti fighter focused

These are all just recommended targets, and best use, as always, you do you, and pick your targets working with your captains

[edgy harbor]

theres also the HMG turrets on the orbitals, but those by default should focus on fighters or point defense (if needed)

[sage knot]

Reminder, the enemies may not follow the same rules as us. The bots might enjoy extra armour or hits, so there is no way (bar scanning them) to tell what is needed to take em down.

[somber urchin]

overwhelming firepower never fails

[sage knot]

True, enough fire and they will go down (hopefully). You guys should have this in the bag. Just be careful of any armour calculations or such untill we know for sure.

[edgy harbor]

could easily also be the opposite, with the bots being more focused on quantity over quality and thus weaker armor or fewer hit points

[zealous palm]

even if they have extra armor, the MBC will still auto hit the BC, and the AC will need a 2 or a 3 for the Frigate or BC, and the Torps will auto hit the Frigate, and need a 2 for the BC

[lyric juniper]

No critical fails here, MBCs are guaranteed hits

[fluid cave]

Torps also have 3 AP

[zealous palm]

that they do

[tough jay]

How it feels every time a fighter goes evasive

[zealous palm]

ok, midrounds are crankin out now, so orders for us will open up tomorrow morning if shacks posted the latest maps under campaing briefing room., I'll start compiling them after work tomorrow, and will post what's all done, and who hasn't submitted one yet, saturday after work.

I won't post an Orders open message in the order channel this time, It'll just be when shack finnaly posts the T2 end maps

[quasi crown]

Also Adding to the Operations planning tab in the sheet for ships to discuss intent. Polls to follow

Tac map will be included once uploaded by shack

[zealous palm]

Cael, I have tokens of each unit/ship needed in TTS with appropriate equipment, the Orbitals and Cobalt's Beacon are named, and i'll be making named copies of each of the fighters, bombers, and the two Meks when I create the map

[winter token]

Can confirm, they look sweet

[zealous palm]

yes, thanks Ixen lol

Ixen, are you guys planning on targeting any of the ships? or are you escorting/moving on like Fluffle did?

[fluid cave]

I see I'm very important.
-# /s

[winter token]

Our Fighters are going for OpFor Fighters

Otherwise, our one Autocannon is gonna line up a shot at the BC

Maybe we'll get really lucky, and disable its gun

[quasi crown]

cool, I'll let you do that and I can help with write ups

[zealous palm]

I was going to say, if your AC can get a hit on the frigate, between that and what we target to it, we might take it out. Looking over the makup of the enemy, that Friagte is actually a bigger danger then the BC damage wise. 2 MBC's vs the BC's 1

the BC probibly was the fighter's home base, and the two ? are probibly flight decks

[winter token]

Can't change its target anymore, didn't know it was there. :/

[quasi crown]

Heading guide

[zealous palm]

I ment for T3

[winter token]

T3 we're gonna transit like Fluffle

Running the blockade

[zealous palm]

ah ok, yah, wanted that in chat, so our orbitals can know if they have support or not

[winter token]

Although, we should probably vote on that, we've got a bun in the oven (so to speak)

BG12 is in our Cargo Hold, and that Starport is key to victory

[zealous palm]

Yah, Cael if you focus on the wrightup's, and consolidating the RP lore, that'll be perfect, that and running herd on the group while I focus on placement, and map shinanigans

[winter token]

Best we can do if we stay is get another hit and mop up the fighters

[zealous palm]

true true, and unfortunatly shooting is at the end of the movement for orbitals, not anywhere along it's path, so you cant even take a pot shot on the way out

[winter token]

nop, just this turn

[quasi crown]

Except the Mechs

[zealous palm]

Best bet for us, is you rolling a crit, and taking out the BC's engines, we might even leave it then, and see about possible boarding actions

cause if it has flight decks, Shack might let us load up the mecks in Beacon, and land them rofl

[winter token]

Send us pictures lol, my counterpart PAI has been itching to board

We're hoping that Frigate is still there so we have something to do in space.

[zealous palm]

we do have 2 infantry, a medic, and the 2 meks as part of our group, so shack might allow us to load up the 2 infantry, medic, and 1 of the mecks for a boarding action

[winter token]

Mechs can't board

And against Bots, even with a Medic, the infantry will struggle

[quasi crown]

I think only VTOLs & breaching pods can do boarding and mechs specifically are not allowed

[winter token]

They're most likely gonna have higher than 0 armor

and take hits like PAI

[fluid cave]

Shack has said no mechs for boarding

[zealous palm]

HAT's might be able to if their's a flight deck, they could back in V2

[fluid cave]

But the infantry and medic I can take if we have a flight deck

@lyric turret which ship are you serving on?

[zealous palm]

Udown and SonofSkz are on Aviary, Masakari is on PV

[lyric turret]

Wherever I'm needed

[fluid cave]

You okay coming with me to the PV?

Just incase we’re boarding after I drop Logan off?

[lyric turret]

Sure

I'm the fleet ping pong ball anyways

[fluid cave]

Make sure you specify you’re loaded in me for your order. I’m starting in the air

[zealous palm]

unfortunatly he and SonofSkz are part of the dedicated crew, so if their moving over, we need to move two crew over to Avariy

[fluid cave]

The fighters and bombers count.

You’ll be able to take any action aboard the PV this turn.

[zealous palm]

ah ok

[fluid cave]

We only need to worry about actions if both are gone for a while.
But that’s just the autocannon off line.
Since there’s 3 crew and captain or 2 crew (not counting Logan)

[zealous palm]

and looking at the Aviary, it only has the Pilot, Coms, Scanner, and AC as needed actions, and the 3 Crew+Captain can cover that

oh yah, logan is moving

but yah, they can just not scan, or comms, if they need to shoot the gun

[fluid cave]

They’d need to not comms or not shoot. Or not move

You can’t skip scanning if you want to comms

[zealous palm]

speaking of scan and comms, since we have 2 of each, one on PV, one on Aviary, we should dedicate one ship to each enemy, that way we don't overlap

[fluid cave]

True

I think I’m gonna dibs the comms intercept aboard the PV.

[zealous palm]

ok, I edited my "example" order and reposted it, and added in scanner command for the enemy BC's, so if your comm's intercepting on the PV, then the Avairy should focus on the frigate

[edgy harbor]

Yes hello this is comms intercept, instructions unclear utilizing ability to predict Aviary's next turn-
/j

[quasi crown]

So I wrote up an idea for overall fleet actions in the operation planning sheet under the strat map

Feel free to add some other ideas for fleet strategy there

I'll put up a poll in a few hours once we have a few other ideas

To be clear us choosing a plan is not enforcable by any stretch, but having an idea of what the fleet is wanting to do will help overall strategy I think

Also I'd like to do the CIC recording idea going over the different ideas in the poll

[astral tapir]

Hey Cael, I am gonna be busy and can't really keep up on the info until the 4th as I am helping at our firework stand. You seem like you know what you are doing so just let me know where to park the boat and I will put it in the order.

[quasi crown]

No worries, We are still waiting on the actual end of turn 2 map rn. I'll ping you once a plan is finalized

[lyric turret]

So I just want to make sure which ship am I starting on?

[quasi crown]

The tracker has you on the CA

But there was mainsheet changes and not all of them made it to the tracker

[lyric turret]

OK just wanted to make sure cause one tab had me on Aviary.

[quasi crown]

Fixed that tab

oh @zealous palm make sure the aviary token has her one gun on it

[lyric turret]

I got bounced around every ship but Primo and the Freighter lol

[quasi crown]

lol

[lyric turret]

That's going in the RP section

[zealous palm]

all tokens are correct

[quasi crown]

Frequent shuttle flight miles

[lyric turret]

Every ship is gonna be up to date on their tetanus shots dammit

[calm talon]

Well, eventually the freighter is going to need someone to run the repair arm. Guess you're it.

[lyric turret]

Then Primo's marines are gonna take a hit and I'm gonna have to go there seeing every ship

[quasi crown]

The movement of crew to the freighter will probably done during the repair

since it has to be adjacent for the arm anyway

#1385616519882346546 message @fluid cave? uh, I'm supposed to be the one taking care of Comms intercept on PV?

[fluid cave]

Oh, I was gonna steal it for a turn since I’m there for 2 if that’s okay

I’m running a Civie company and I’d prefer not to be manning a gun

For lore reasons

[edgy harbor]

Well, seeing how all the guns are manned and so is comms, I was claiming the comms intercept station since I was in lore gonna be acting as the fleet intel officer. Now I've got nothing to do. 🫠

[fluid cave]

Are they?

[edgy harbor]

Yeah

[fluid cave]

You’ve not got that much crew?

[edgy harbor]

No we do

[unkempt smelt]

Sit at your desk and delegate properly. Administrator Sam

[fluid cave]

I can double check my numbers again

[unkempt smelt]

There's a pile of requisition requests which need your signature 😂

[edgy harbor]

Damn, first the chimichangas debt and now this? I ain't no pencil pushing accountant

[fluid cave]

MBT cannon x4
Autocannon x2
HMG
Scanner
Comms intercept
Piloting
4 + 2 + 4 = 10
You’ve got 9 crew (counting the bomber)
So that’s 8 actions reliably.
Logan and I are getting you up to 10.

Not to mention reloading weapons or putting out fires later.

But I can ask Nova if I can use the scanner instead

Or I can sit my action instead.

[halcyon spire]

And the broadsides don't need to be manned when we're facing directly at the enemy.

Also Cancer made this for a reason :D
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kybi0XINsguFhkUBQiB-00augWgQynXa-3AeXRGilYk/edit?usp=sharing

[fluid cave]

Not if we have multiple enemies

[edgy harbor]

Yeah, I had claimed comms intercept station there

[fluid cave]

I knew that existed.
I couldn’t find it in the other sheet

My bad

[halcyon spire]

It wasn't shared that often so it makes sensee it would be a bit hard to find 😅

[edgy harbor]

You could act as reloading crew? Wouldnt be manning a gun, directly at least.

[halcyon spire]

There was way more people than expected going on comms XD

[fluid cave]

I could, but we’re not supplied T3 to save some LS.

[halcyon spire]

I bought it thinking barely anyone would go on it due to the amount of guns everyone else bought. So maybe I would get some use out of the equipment I bought... I was delightfully surprised.

Turns out despite all of us cramming into a battleship, we're all support ship players.

[edgy harbor]

I am a captain, not ordinary crew! I'm supposed to be twiddling my thumbs whilst acting high and mighty and pretending to have a plan, not getting my fingernails dirty manning an anti air gun! XD

[fluid cave]

You could instead be firing the front cannon if that’s not claimed

[halcyon spire]

Those are both claimed.

https://media.tenor.com/gl-vEobmleoAAAAM/firing-attack.gif

[edgy harbor]

And it would hurt my back

[fluid cave]

I’ll ask Kael

[edgy harbor]

You can take the comms intercept if you want, I'm fine sitting around staring out a window for some time-

[fluid cave]

@zealous palm I can spot your scanner on T3?

[fluid cave]

If someone’s not taking an action it’s going to be me.
I just flew Logan and have pre flight checks to handle

I might need to round up an infantry to board. Depends on what we see

[halcyon spire]

I just added damage control to the sheet as that might be needed.

[fluid cave]

DCT needs to be one person.

[halcyon spire]

Want to take this spot Sam, you'll end up sitting around staring out a window for some time

[hard sleet]

when do orders need to be in by?

[halcyon spire]

[quasi crown]

BEcareful calling it DCT, since that is a specific thing from an upgrade PV doesn't have

[fluid cave]

Oh, I thought it was DCT, my bad

[quasi crown]

We also don't have the updated Tactical map yet

[halcyon spire]

Yeah we don't need a DCT to repair anymore it just provides a repair boost now.

[halcyon spire]

Oh, yeah we don't. Probably should wait for that.

[fluid cave]

Yeah. I forgot the only one in the fleet is on the CA

[glad flume]

ok so when are our orders due?

Sunday

would wait for full map before doing orders

[glad flume]

ok so we will be getting one. that was my next question

I can run the scan on the frigate from the Aviary. Unless someone else wants to?

[heady void]

ok i am lost, i was bussy these past day, what did i miss (when are orders do?)

[halcyon spire]

There's not much that happened, the turn 2 map isn't out yet, so the exact situation is unknown, and orders are due about Sunday EST.

[heady void]

thanks for the info

[zealous palm]

Yah ordered due by EOD Sunday, about 6pm est. Personally I'm asking if most if not everyone could post theirs by end of Saturday or Sunday morning to give us Sunday to fix any issues.

[violet wharf]

So are all the fighters and bombers going to launch/be out at arrival? Strike one of the orbitals with a bombing run?

[winter token]

Not final by any means, but these have been pitched elsewhere, feel free to use

[violet wharf]

If fighters are out, bombers should be too in my opinion, to lessen loss risk by providing extra hits

[slow whale]

Will probably be better just to be already launched. Past that, idk. I'm mainly waiting to see what happens this turn. We will probably get more info on the ships, some of the fighters will probably be taken out, and we will see how the bot ships will move. All of those kind of change up the plans

[halcyon spire]

From what I've heard, the fighters/bombers are just going to clump up and take out everything. But as Daimyo said waiting to see what the best option is.

[fluid cave]

@edgy harbor Some RP for you in my new order.

[violet wharf]

Agree, aero damage is easier to repair than orbital damage

[slow whale]

Very true, as long as you don't take 2 hits.

[fluid cave]

Less max HP but much better healing

[slow whale]

Uh oh, I don't like that unknown signature from the midround. Some kind of swarm maybe? Or something high tech?

[fluid cave]

Melee Aerospace asset?

[slow whale]

Possibly, someone in Fluffle beat me to it. Could be like buzz droids. Or like a boarding force that we might need to steer clear until taken care of.

[fluid cave]

More reason to man every gun. We don't know where they're ending up

[amber dragon]

or maybe it's a stealth orbital

[hard sleet]

Looks like aerospace and PD is going to have their work cut out for them.

[slow whale]

Oh lord they are multiplying. Wish I had an HMG for myself, but maybe they will be cleaned up easily. I'm still being surprised on how much resistance we have on the first point.

[fluid cave]

Instead of an HMG, you have a swarm of Snub HMGs

[mossy flare]

Yeah we got a lot of figher squadrons, should be good for this. Plus your marines are here

[edgy harbor]

lol ok

[slow whale]

Certainly might have your work cut out for you, maybe not here, but if we find their hub I bet there is going to be swarms of swarms.

[edgy harbor]

What in the world are those tiny things going after the orbitals? Some form of swarmer missiles?

[fluid cave]

We think boarders

[edgy harbor]

That would definitely be worse

[mossy flare]

visual looks like some sort of swarm. We've not seen an impact yet so we don't know for sure. Space capable inf would be a good bet

[edgy harbor]

That is most definitely concerning

Think you probably may have been right

May act akin to buzzer droids from Star Wars and just start dismantling shit

[mossy flare]

That would be worse as the way to deal with them mechanically is less clear than raking friendlies with machine gun fire

[edgy harbor]

Well, it seems they are forcing their way in so probably space borne infantry?

Space-borne boarders

[mossy flare]

Marine vindication it looks like, so life may be a little more exciting than anticipated for us crayon lovers

[edgy harbor]

That's for sure

[slow whale]

They are actually buzz droids. Oh boy. Everything is a tad bit messier now. Can't wait to see hundreds of them.

[edgy harbor]

Are those missile racks on the battlecruiser?

[slow whale]

Was thinking the same thing unless they launch the swarms

[rapid sorrel]

Oh great, buzz droids

[edgy harbor]

I'm now wondering if this damage could've been avoided if the other two task forces had waited for us

[slow whale]

Man Lonely Heir took a wallop and a fire. Hopefully we can take those ships down next turn to preserve our hits or this is going to be a spicy campaign.

[sinful latch]

Perhaps. All those civvies would be dead, though

[slow whale]

ARMCO always loves playing fast and loose.

[edgy harbor]

True enough, at least we aren't too far behind

[mossy flare]

ARMCO always rushing to get into the next campaign and then freaking a little when the next campaign is dangerous

[slow whale]

Looks like that should be the extent of damage though. Just need to do our best next turn.

[tough jay]

Man our allied TFs are having it rough

[rapid sorrel]

"Hell yeah! This op is dangerous!"

"Why did no one tell me how dangerous this op was going to be!?"

At least Storm has seem to escaped the buzz droids

[edgy harbor]

We gonna need the AA guns on high alert

[slow whale]

Also big news. Nav 1 is clear it seems

[rapid sorrel]

Maybe that's what the big thing on the back of the Frigate is?

[fluid cave]

LRMs

[rapid sorrel]

That confirmed?

[fluid cave]

Those are LRMs on the back.
Based on combat reference icons

[rapid sorrel]

Alright, I was wondering if it could be like a buzzdroid mine-laying module

[tough jay]

The buzzdroid is probably coming from the Frigate, Fighters coming from the Battlecruiser

based on past trajectory

[lyric turret]

I wake up and I see buzz droids.

[fluid cave]

I'm glad we have infantry on each ship and flight decks to move people now

[sinful latch]

You wanted something to do, right?

Looks like tf2 is debating helping us or pushing on the Elim.

[tough jay]

Shit

Looks like we’re not hitting Tormentor with fire until we figure out what those life signs are

[calm talon]

Except we have no way of boarding it. Unless we figure out a way to disable its engines so one of our ships can dock directly.

[sinful latch]

Well. We still need to, to disabel, THEN board

[tough jay]

We escort the 2 bombers with torpedoes to hit the propulsion from the rear

should hopefully result in minimal potential civilian casualties

[fluid cave]

I think we need to shoot it. Fires can disable things. We can hope for engines

[lyric turret]

Should we prep the Freighter with infantry?

It would be the fastest to get in

[fluid cave]

I think I'm gonna load up from the PV with Noise and Crimson soon then

[calm talon]

Calling shots isn't a thing in the rules... But this isn't a videogame, Shack may allow it

[fluid cave]

Maybe we can land somewhere useful

[mossy flare]

Life signs doesn't mean friendly

Remove threats first then intel if we can

[winter token]

Atlas is 50/50 on staying an extra round to BOARD the BC.

[calm talon]

Do you have a way of getting troops on?

[fluid cave]

VTOLs + boarding pods

We don't

[tough jay]

I vote to cripple the Ship, destroy it’s guns and propulsion, leave the engine & generator online so life support is maintained

[north crown]

Well shit

[calm talon]

Bad idea. Its some sort of industrual plant, it can likely fix itself or spawn more bot fliers

[north crown]

Just saw the bots have their own boarding crews

[fluid cave]

We can't target.
Personal opinion, we shoot until it's disabled. We've got nothing else we can do.
I'll pick up the PV's infantry and see if I can land somewhere.

[north crown]

Does PV have a marine team

[fluid cave]

2

[mossy flare]

Blow it up and sort through the wreckage

[rapid sorrel]

Kill'em all, let God sort them out

[tough jay]

going find jack in the wreckage

[north crown]

I’m all for blowing it up we need to move fast

[lyric turret]

Looks like atlas is planning on boarding

[north crown]

Atlas has already almost lost a ship

[winter token]

That was Fluffle

Atlas is unharmed (so far)

[calm talon]

If Atlas can board, they can board the engines (since teh BC is scanned) and take those out. With engines down we can just fly in and dock a ship and offload more boarders

[mossy flare]

We'll see how it shakes as atlas engages then, we shouldn't engage if atlas has troops on board

[north crown]

I don’t suppose we can make called shots?

[calm talon]

Not by base rules.

[tough jay]

So I’m hearing to turn all guns on the frigate and kick em down?

[mossy flare]

No, too complicated with this many shots in the air

[fluid cave]

If shack knows what we want, he might let us do it.

[mossy flare]

Frigate should go for sure

[north crown]

Agreed let’s murder that frigate

Those launchers need to die tho

[tough jay]

I think Taccom intention is a thing, though it’s up to shack if we pass the dice of chaos with unlucky shots splintering the ship in half

[north crown]

The ability to board is very powerful

[fluid cave]

Maybe it's just me but that's not looking like

most direct line to the end of the order type destination

[mossy flare]

I mean it's not far off especially if you factor in rotation

[north crown]

We should be able to hit the BC or frigate here right? If we turn broadside can we hit both?

[tough jay]

Need that Mercy Meme and it’s just TF Victorum written in text over it

[north crown]

You heard shack boys and girls they need us. Engines ahead full! It’s time to show these clankers what we’re made of!

[edgy harbor]

[north crown]

https://tenor.com/view/mercy-overwatch-come-here-gif-14280244

[hard sleet]

We have been summoned

[tough jay]

All hands on deck, tacmap going to drop soon

time to plan the enemy’s demise

[north crown]

Not one step back, we get the civs in behind us and then we wreck anything that moves

[edgy harbor]

All ships, sound the call for general quarters, arrival to exit point is imminent.

[north crown]

All hands to battle stations. This is not a drill. Marines stand by to repel boarders

[hard sleet]

Warden is on the catapult. Ready to show them some Armco air supremacy.

Alright maps are up. Let’s get scheming.

[north crown]

So we burn for 4118 cause I don’t think we will be able to hit that frigate

Means we need to put some of our shots into the BC

I get the feeling that frigate is gonna chase atlas since they’ve already wounded one ship

[slow whale]

I think it will turn towards Atlas. It's most likely the escort for the BC. Might be able to get some shots but our bombers can always take care of it.

[pine ferry]

i feel like we have 1 fighter squadron intercept the enemy fighters, everyone else goes for the bc. burn it to the ground

[north crown]

Atlas wants to board since there are life signs

[pine ferry]

do they have boarding?

[north crown]

Yup breaching pods and VTOLs

[pine ferry]

can breaching pods breach bc armor?

[calm talon]

when flanking, yes

[pine ferry]

well that certainly complicates things

is targeting weapon systems a thing we can do? try to disable without destroying

[calm talon]

Not by RAW but Shack may allow funny things(tm)

[tough jay]

hmmm

[calm talon]

But if Atlas can board we don't need to. They can board specific modules and disable

[fluid cave]

They're scanning for layout so they can

[north crown]

Could one of our lovely taccoms ask if we could make called shots?

Killing those launchers and the HMGS would be very good

[calm talon]

May be a bit of a pandora's box there. If we can do it, the enemies can too

[pine ferry]

where does that leave us then? bomber wing probably goes straight for the frigate along with anything that has the range

[rapid sorrel]

Which of our BCs has the broadside MBCs? They can hit it's engines

Right outta the gate

[fluid cave]

None both have ARC MBCs

Wait the CA has Port ARC MBC

[rapid sorrel]

I was gonna say

[edgy harbor]

What should I comms intercept first?

[sinful latch]

CA has 2 ARC MBCs, one on each side

[north crown]

Wait which CA? We don’t have a cruiser Do we?

[sinful latch]

Corvus Aurorae. CA

[lyric turret]

Corvus Aurorae

[fluid cave]

CA is the Corvous Aeroeus I can't spell

[rapid sorrel]

I vote Corvus goes for the engines, and everyone else keeps it's attention with a broadside attack

[lyric turret]

Lol

[north crown]

Oh lmao right

[sinful latch]

Jinx, you all owe me a soda

[rapid sorrel]

Send the fighters and bombers against the Frigate

[lyric turret]

Yeah pop that frigate.

[fierce sentinel]

If the corvus can go for the engines could it's aft HMG be of any use?

[north crown]

Frigate needs to die this round

[rapid sorrel]

Maybe if it tries to missile you?

[fluid cave]

Yeah, there are fighters and boarders. all of them could be hit

[sinful latch]

It should be manned anyway, in case a fighter flies in front of it

[fluid cave]

When in doubt man the guns

[north crown]

I’m on forward MBC should I target the BC?

[fierce sentinel]

Definitly will be manning it, might also see some more borders.

[rapid sorrel]

Yes, PV is going all damage in on the BC

[fluid cave]

We can't target

Only LRMs can target

[sinful latch]

I mean... you could getto within 2 hexes

[calm talon]

but the BC is the most valid target for an MBC anyway

[rapid sorrel]

We can't but we can't hit the Frigate with range 2 anyways

[calm talon]

so you can assume you'll be shooting it

[fluid cave]

You'll be fine, man the guns

[pine ferry]

when are our orders due?

[edgy harbor]

The frigate?

[fluid cave]

Also Note for everyone.
We are not supplied T3.
No guns can be reloaded T3.

[calm talon]

Sunday eve, but preferably tomorrow eve

[sinful latch]

We have 3 shots per gun, no rush to reload them

[calm talon]

or however that works out for your timezone

[tough jay]

Can’t speak for the Orbital but I can draw up a plan proposal for the Aerospace units hold one moment

[quasi crown]

Just caught up on the mid rounds. Im so stoked to put some rounds down range

[sinful latch]

Right, well I'm getting my order in immediately, since I assume something will be in range of our guns

[lyric turret]

I'm gonna hold off on my order just to be sure all guns are manned first for the Corvus Aurorae

[fierce sentinel]

I'll be manning the aft HMG on the Corvus Aurorae and Longtom one of the MBC. Guessing Admiral Cob will do the other MBC so that should be all the guns manned.

[sinful latch]

Also, @glad flume wake up, need to know where the ship will end up

[north crown]

Mancer if you’re still on I assume we’re going from 19 to 18?

[rapid sorrel]

Can someone post the bigger map please?

[north crown]

One sec

[rapid sorrel]

Should probably add it to the sheet

[quasi crown]

I will one sec

[edgy harbor]

Well, i think I'll utilize the intercept comms on the enemy frigate. Also thinking about sending an in rp transmission to Atlas to let them know they can disengage and withdraw now, for we are here.

[rapid sorrel]

Yeah 4118 is the only place we can hit them from

[rapid sorrel]

WHat's the range on the scanner?

[calm talon]

Altas: "let's board it"
Vic: "fire all guns"

[north crown]

3 I think

[rapid sorrel]

It needs to be scanned and intercepted in the same turn I believe

[north crown]

Atlas is voting on it now

[calm talon]

its 2 for omnidirectional, 3 for fixed

wait, those were updated... +1 each

[north crown]

Ya shack boosted them

[glad flume]

I’m thinking 4217? Port gun can fire, I rotate and open it up for starboard. Two shots on either the BC or Frig

[edgy harbor]

I tried checking on the equipment list but only see "high orbit" for the range of comms intercept

[calm talon]

comms doesn't have a range afaik

its limited by scanner use

[edgy harbor]

Is the frigate getting scanned?

[fierce sentinel]

Depending on how you go I think the HMG can just have an angle to hit one of the fighters.

[glad flume]

Also just for reference, my ship has a shit ton of health now with the dct buff

[rapid sorrel]

We have both modules, we just need someone to use it

[quasi crown]

Tacmap in the ops planning sheet

[glad flume]

Is it too late to change the orientation of my guns?

[sinful latch]

Alright, will target BC

[quasi crown]

yeah unfortunately

[glad flume]

Cuz front facing hmg sounds better with the dct upgrade

It’s really annoying that he changed game mechanics literally right before starting

[rapid sorrel]

It happens

[glad flume]

If I knew I had so much health, I wouldn’t have put the hmg rear 😦

It is what it is

[north crown]

They got a buff? I missed that

[fierce sentinel]

:( well I'll still be manning our behind

[edgy harbor]

In that case I guess I'll try to comms intercept the frigate and hope someone scans it

[glad flume]

Yeah dct heals two hits per now

So anyone can heal using a kit for 1, dct can heal 2 for 1

[fierce sentinel]

It should have a designated crew member though

[rapid sorrel]

@zealous palm is on scanners

[fierce sentinel]

And i think it only works twice, right?

[glad flume]

True… that’s dumb. But it looks like it’s per crew assigned? Can’t I just rotate crew assigned

[calm talon]

I'll probably take the port MBC on PV, assuming we're swinging more right? Or someone can just tell me tomorrow which gun to man.

[edgy harbor]

They are scanning the battlecruiser, wait does the scanned target need to be the one scanned by the ship itself or is it fine if another ship scanned it?

[rapid sorrel]

Unknown to me

[glad flume]

Cael, ur taccom right

[hard sleet]

hello all. what is the plan so far.

[pine ferry]

it seems that the air wing is going for the frigate

[edgy harbor]

I feel like it should be fine as long as it's been scanned by any ship. Otherwise comms intercept is rather underwhelming.

[tough jay]

wait

I forgot to compensate for bombers

[hard sleet]

I think guardian wanted to focus on CAP manuevers instead of offensive attacks

[glad flume]

@quasi crown or @zealous palm , how extensive of a spin can I put in my orders? Can I do a 360 so my rear hmg can hit a fighter?

[hard sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/beyblade-beyblade-g-revolution-beyblade-hms-dragoon-ms-beyblade-beyblade-launch-gif-3823495161081532780

[glad flume]

Bayblade battle cruiser here we come

[tough jay]

Endurance has more than enough HMG in the front to take care of any fighters

[hard sleet]

@timid zinc @zinc spruce what are y'all planning on doing for this turn. any particurlar route or goals we want to do as a squadron?

[sinful latch]

AND the LRMS?

[pine ferry]

not to mention they should be reloading now

[rapid sorrel]

I believe all movement must be done in a line

[north crown]

Is someone manning PV’s forward HMG

[fierce sentinel]

First round and we are already trying to drift an orbital, I see this as great news

[rapid sorrel]

@steep jetty

[glad flume]

I was told I could rotate a little to get my side cannons to both be able to hit something forward, but I just dk the extent of rotational capabilities

[quasi crown]

no

[glad flume]

Damn. There goes my bayblade fantasies

Fair tho lol

[quasi crown]

no 180s either

[rapid sorrel]

That's rotating the cannons themselves, not the whole ship

[glad flume]

So how do we turn around?

[rapid sorrel]

Slowly

[edgy harbor]

@rapid sorrel , does your captain have a name? (Asking for rp purposes)

[tough jay]

We're not touching the tormentor in the short term unless someone got confirmation we can target components on it

[quasi crown]

over the course of multiple turns

[tough jay]

cause Atlas may want to board it

[rapid sorrel]

Tobias "Bias" Redd

[edgy harbor]

Ok noted

[glad flume]

So what’s the max turn rate?

[rapid sorrel]

PV's gonna hit it, but we won't kill it, yet

[edgy harbor]

My guy is Arcturus "Railjack" Tenno

[quasi crown]

@zealous palm I'm waiting to put green checks until you have them mapped

[quasi crown]

<180 degrees is the only rule

[glad flume]

Ok lol

[quasi crown]

Basically don't cheese it

[fierce sentinel]

If the corvus is going 4217 I could prepare for some LRMS interception if we suspect the ship to start launching them

[smoky pivot]

“Want” is a strong term but we’re currently trending in that direction. At least we know where the gun is going to be pointing

[tough jay]

This is our only viable path if we want to hit a ship in 1 turn, hard to tell where the Frigate "Brawler" will go, though my guess is that it's trying to get it's MBC on Atlas

[quasi crown]

Going to start writing the Script for the briefing audio

[fierce sentinel]

would be in range to intercept since all of our orbitals would be in range for my HMG

[glad flume]

Ok then I’ll probably go 4127 then turn to face towards 4017 or 4117 and both cannons will get angle on the BC

[fierce sentinel]

Then I don't think the HMG will be able to do anything, but it's better to just lay down big gun fire

[rapid sorrel]

It probably will eventually

[zinc spruce]

also be aware thats going to put us on the side of the MGs

[glad flume]

Yeah. If I knew the dct was getting buffed I would’ve had you face forward. Idk how much action you’ll see unfortunately. Sorry

[fierce sentinel]

yeah don't worry about it, was mostly on picket duty anyway and the HMG can't target orbitals.

[pine ferry]

How is this our only path? Do we not have more speed?

[glad flume]

@fresh stream you’ll be mainly on DCT duty unless we’re boarded. We don’t have anyone else

[tough jay]

Run this formation, Valkyrie & Guardian will screen forward with evasive, Dagger will has all the AA missiles so they stay on advance behind and escort the Bombers.

[lyric turret]

I'll be right behind him.

[fierce sentinel]

@dusky dagger will be manning the other MBC in the Corvus Aurorae, right?

[glad flume]

@gritty basin @timid zinc you guys I’ll have scramble ahead of me and escort @gritty crystal on a bombing run of the BC, if that works for the three of you. Unless you all are already in flight squads and stuff idk what yall have planned

[tough jay]

Dagger will decide if they want to use those missiles if the main guns aren't enough

[glad flume]

You aren’t on my ship anymore, are you? You’re listed on the aviary

[lyric turret]

Got transferred back.

[zealous palm]

Ok, first time checking discord in 4 hrs, work picked up, skimmed it and it looks like it's go time for orders. Orbitals are ponderous, can move less than 180 degrees a turn, so no 360 no scopes, also firing is at the end of their movement.

[rapid sorrel]

Good protection from bombers going for the engine tho

[quasi crown]

Yeah, We really need the movement orders from the captains

[glad flume]

Oh ok sick. Can you change it on the excel?

[quasi crown]

Its been changed

[fresh stream]

Alright. Now to read the rules and see what that is.

[pine ferry]

@gritty basin @edgy lance I think this is a good idea. You all up for it?

[glad flume]

Oh damn so I can’t get both cannons to fire at the same target? I was told I could

Or is that only for front and rear cuz their 180

[quasi crown]

If they are on your front or rear they can

[rapid sorrel]

@slow whale Who's your scanner?

[tough jay]

we should be able to kill the frigate in a turn if Dagger & the 2 bomber flights are safely escorted.

[glad flume]

Ok then. I’ll point right at the BC then lmao

That works

[lyric turret]

Make sure you are on the new colored tab

[rare lantern]

Make sure you point at where the BC will be, since we know that this round

[glad flume]

There so many excels lmao

Ok I gtg. Dm or ping me if I’m needed

[lyric turret]

Yeah should probably delete the old one

[tough jay]

The question more so now is, where will the Frigate "Brawler" go to, we need to be accurate cause our bombers other than torpedo have 0 range.

[rapid sorrel]

If the Aviary can scan it, we can comm it

[hard sleet]

I wonder if fighters act like they do in galaxy at war or in the star wars movies and allow them to fly through formations of friendlies.

[rare lantern]

Probably going to follow TF 2 to keep attacking them, luckily you bombers just have to intercept it at any point along its movement to get a hit, since bombers arent ponderous

[zealous palm]

Agreed, needs to be directly in front, or behind you.

[fresh stream]

What is the time limit for our orders?

[tough jay]

Best before Sunday Night

[pine ferry]

If we go 4018-4016-4116-4115-4215 we should be guaranteed to hit it

[fresh stream]

Got it. Just needed to be sure they weren't due today. Work is going slow.

[rapid sorrel]

2 MBCs on PV
1 MBC on CA
1 MBC on EX
1 Autocannon on EX

Is what we're hitting the BC with right?

[quasi crown]

@astral tapir as you requested, move exodia to 4217 with a N heading

[zealous palm]

It looks like the LMs are going to have flyswatter duty, shooting boarding machines, recommend fighter strikes on enemy fighters and free floating boarder bots. Bombers on the Tormenter

[zinc spruce]

Just a little heavy

[zealous palm]

Sunday night cutoff, best Sunday morning for last minute fixs

[tough jay]

Negative, Bombers have a movement speed of 6

they would make it to 4116

[pine ferry]

Is there an action in there I’m missing because I count 5 moves there

[quasi crown]

thats only 4 movement?

[tough jay]

Turns

turning is a speed

[zealous palm]

CA can use both of the MBCs if it angles, PV can possibly use 3 MBCs and an AC, might have to target one of the MBC and AC at the frigate

[zinc spruce]

How much turn is 1 speed again?

[slow whale]

Don't have anyone set. Believe SonofSkz put in a scan order though. I basically have three crew and three spots so they'll all be filled. I'll probably pull behind the other BCs at 4217. Keeps me away from the BC MBC and I'm with in range for all my equipment.

[quasi crown]

I would say 4217 is very dangerous for the Av

[rapid sorrel]

We need a scan on that Frigate is why I asked

[hard sleet]

sad wolf, you up for running evasion and providing cover for Morningstar and 2?

[rapid sorrel]

Oh, wait I see it

We gucci

[pine ferry]

Where does it say this I can’t find it

[quasi crown]

May be better to be like 4219 or something

[zinc spruce]

Ye

[tough jay]

did it get removed?

[quasi crown]

Because MBCs are range 3

[pine ferry]

Idk I could be missing it

[zinc spruce]

Can't find it either

[zealous palm]

If I can get all 4 Orbital movement orders in the next hr or so, I'll post an updated map with them so shooting and fighter orders can be set

Or we could put that off till tomorrow after work.

[tough jay]

I'll check if Atlas's fighters had to use speed for turns, if they didn't I'll draw up a new path to reflect it.

[hard sleet]

I think I heard somewhere that we can only one change facing per one tile

[zealous palm]

If we're staying in formation, we can only move 1 hex, and have to go to 4218 to get target locks really

[pine ferry]

Atlas did twice on a tile on their flight

[edgy lance]

Escort duty? mmh, very well. It *is *a sound formation.

[hard sleet]

I am probably wrong then

[slow whale]

Looks like our scan is targeting the Frigate, and I should be in range with the current plan 👍

[tough jay]

Alright yeah, seems like the turning mechanics was yeeted into the garbage.

[pine ferry]

Escort/alpha strike

[edgy lance]

aye

[zealous palm]

Or 4118, but we might have issues with Atlas

[rapid sorrel]

That means Hose can probably intercept it

[hard sleet]

hmmmmm. anyone have some sugestions for drawing order maps or do I just use paint?

[slow whale]

Remember my ship also has a CommInt as well. Could just get a full hit on both ships

[tough jay]

What are we thinking Squadron members

[hard sleet]

Angel, can you label those flight plans?

[rapid sorrel]

You intercept the BC, we intercept the Frigate?

[slow whale]

I use paint.net

[zealous palm]

Cancer, did you check out the projected flight path of the tormentor?

[tough jay]

wdym? like add speed numbers?

[rapid sorrel]

To 4116?

[zealous palm]

Yah, if you go where your going, TF2 might be in your firing line

[old hill]

I can do Aviary Comm Int. put my order in later working.

[hard sleet]

you put in 3 lines, I am guessing that they are movement lines for different squadrons but wich squadron is following wich line

[pine ferry]

I still think this is the best plan because it covers both directions the frigate could go

[tough jay]

Oh no, those are just possible route to take as a whole aerospace detachment

[quasi crown]

I want some volunteers for Voice acting. I want an ATC Character, and a couple of captains.

[rapid sorrel]

I don't think it works like that, does it?

[fluid cave]

Atlas is going to be scanning the Frigate

And comms intercepting

[slow whale]

Sounds good. Try and get some juicy gossip

[rapid sorrel]

Sounds like we're doubling up then XD

[rare lantern]

There's no indication that it does

[zealous palm]

Vehicles block shots, so I think orbital do also, I'll ask shack

[slow whale]

Maybe we could double scan/intercept the BC and get some extra info? Maybe we catch what the lifesign stuff is?

[rapid sorrel]

Well, vehicles don't work in 3d environments, no?

[edgy harbor]

I was thinking of sending the following message to atlas in rp via orders:
"This is Primo Victoria actual, task force Victorum has arrived on station and we are moving in to scrap the enemy. We can take the fight from here."
Should I?

[tough jay]

Make it more epic

[rapid sorrel]

If we're making a statement

We're making a statement

[edgy harbor]

What should I add? "The cavalry has arrived"?

[tough jay]

the enemy & allies within the system are all possibly listening after all

[quasi crown]

I was thinking something similar.

"Atlas, Victorum, we have your six. Continue on to the planet. We have the gate. Good hunting."

[hard sleet]

Also, as the vice captain wouldn't you not be PV actual but rather Tenno, vice captain of the Primo Victoria

[calm talon]

"This is Victorum, stand aside I'm coming through"

classic WW2 admiral

[zealous palm]

Ok, Atlas is splitting their formation to flank, so you will still have a shot

[hard sleet]

"Hey Atlas, on your six"

[quasi crown]

Just speak as Victorum instead

[edgy harbor]

Aight I'll do that

[zealous palm]

But depending on facing, you might be able to target the BC with both front, and a side, since it's 2 tiles

Speaking of sizes, I need to check with shack if the PV should be 2 tiles long

[hard sleet]

You are a senior commanding officer of the TF make it something that people remember.

[rapid sorrel]

What is the Otter's planet called?

[hard sleet]

Lumara

[quasi crown]

"Atlas, Victorum, Make room, ARMCO's guns have arrived on station."

[zealous palm]

Heavy Metal coming through

We are the biggest ship in the fleet

[tough jay]

We be blasting Symphony no.9 once we get through the gate

https://youtu.be/89jOPAGJq-M?si=1PX9JHjCPoskGoq6

[rapid sorrel]

"This is Victorum Actual, main fighting taskforce of the Armco Freelance Union. This is a broadcast to all forces hostile to the Provinces and the inhabitants of Lumara. STAND DOWN. Failure to comply will result in the complete, and utter annihilation of your forces, and your inevitable ejection from this space, via indiscriminate fire."

[quasi crown]

Storm is playing flight of the valkyries lol

[gritty basin]

I think I'd rather stay in the formation AngelH4l0 mentioned and join Dagger Squadron

[gritty basin]

Alright, I'll join

[hard sleet]

Respectfully https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgcap-5IBsY&list=PL62XnKg7k9Aw1e_7E8DgI8cBzQdI5vw2i&index=18

More like https://youtu.be/VbxgYlcNxE8?si=4DJAmzjWjihAkpWG

12 min mark

[hard sleet]

Also, my vote is for the Cyan path.

[quasi crown]

"All Civilian vessels, Victorum, kindly leave the AO. All batteries will begin to unleash fire upon your oppressors and Newton's laws don't care about FoF tags."

[edgy harbor]

"Atlas, this is Victorum, make way for the Battlefleet has arrived."
This good?

[quasi crown]

You don't need the "this is"

[rapid sorrel]

Sounds more like we're threatening thw Lumaran's XD

[unkempt smelt]

excellent choice

[fluid cave]

Important note for Captains when positioning.
We can attack them from their start position as long as our end postition is in range.

[edgy harbor]

It doesn't? I feel like otherwise it feels as if we are addressing ourselves

[hard sleet]

also my predictions for the frigate assuming it is speed 2
