That way you can spread the void fun

I'm gonna head off for a bit. please let people know about the poll for the aeros

Order is reposted

#

@covert palm I hope you don't mind my RP building off you

covert palm
#

lol

zealous palm
#

ok, so they want to take the IOU, and hold onto it to pay for a sortie later, either from us to them, or from them to us

#

Cobalt, is your bird supposed to be parked in Avairy's hangar? just want to verify

fluid cave
#

Yes

#

It is

#

I did a shuffle with firewing and I'm crew on the Avairy

#

My cargo bay and Flight deck are there

zealous palm
#

ok, so your currently on Avairy, and never took off in slipspace, just wanted to verify

fluid cave
#

Yep

zealous palm
#

so you never needed to land, ok

#

like I said, I thought so, but wanted to verify

#

I'm gonna RP as the shuttle between places, but the Beacon is firmly on the Avairy

ah, using the orbitals RP "shuttle" and saving the HAT for when it's needed, good good

Can we flavor trying to disable BC think it will go a long way in easing any remaining tensions. If it blows it blows.

quasi crown
#

but that is why we offered LS to them and I think the relationship is ok now

lyric turret
#

No problem just tossing ideas.

violet wharf
#

I propose three propose paths for the strike group:
1 - Land asap after delivering strike, not engaging enemy fighters.
2 - After striking BC, flyby frigate to deliver any leftover munitions (very unlikely there will be any, but just in case) and engage fighters, then land.
3 - Same as 2, but instead staying out and drawing fire away from friendly orbitals and possibly civilian vessels

Personally I think 3 would be the best, as it utilizes the 15 hits the strike group can tank before losses; orbitals are much harder to repair than aero, which get repaired at no extra supply cost when rearming. There doesn't seem to be enough enemy firepower to deal 15 hits, enemy hmgs can fire at us however we move anyway. Just need to clump up the aero so damage gets spread between all of them.

image.png image.png image.png
#

Any other suggestions? We should probably run a poll

hard sleet
#

My issue with three is that all it takes is for shack to say “this damaged fighter was the target of an auto cannon round and then that fighter is out of the entire campaign. I would be fine but make it clear that fighters are to pull back once they get hit.

violet wharf
#

Fair enough I guess? The fighter would still be hit with autocannon round, even if it does pull back though?

#

I'd be afraid that a damaged fighter that pulls back is isolated, and can then be taken out by a single hit, as it wouldnt have the herd protection

hard sleet
#

I am not disagreeing with that. I just also know that their a fine balance between tanking damage and getting people killed. But just to double check. This is for fighter squadrons only right?

violet wharf
#

for bombers too

#

Would be riskier to tank without them, 9 vs 15 hits of margin

hard sleet
#

Bombers should be pulled back as soon as they can. They don’t have access to evasive and the faster they can re arm the better as those torpedo and d6 cluster bombs can really hit enemy capital ships hard. Also without evasive they are kind of squishy

violet wharf
#

idk, there's still a total of 15 hits before losses, pulling back would leave the fighters more vulnerable too. Ideally we do just a single strike anyway to conserve LS is what I'm thinking

#

There's probably enough gun on our orbitals to finish the frigate without a second strike

that's the genearal concensus

want me to assume that's the order, and add it in, while you wright it out?

Also Kael, I checkmarked my second check through of all the orders. If you want to check mark them as you add them into the map that may be handy

Oh to note @edgy lance & @pine ferry both of yall are only doing an advance instead of evasive flight. Wanted to make sure that was intentional.

pine ferry

yah both have the missiles, might have something to do with it, not sure

#

but unless you give a missile lock target in the order, I'm not using it

quasi crown

Only brought it up since everyone else was going evasive

tough jay
#

We have enough fighters in front to screen, the advance is to do full damage for dagger squad

their playing bait lol

current order makup, not including order text

#

that fighter formation good for you all, that's everyone minus @gritty basin with order's submitted and checked

#

starborne, while your working on your order, can you just give me the rundown of your action so I can add it to the list of text?

torpid gate
#

quick question. We calculate the range from the ship or the guns? Becuase if from the ship then I should be able to also hit thesmaller frigate the MBC is shooting at

#

thats my plan anyway

edgy lance
zealous palm
#

it's from the ship, at the end of your movement, you should be able to hit it

torpid gate
#

ok good that should work then

zealous palm
#

both are range 2

quasi crown
#

@zealous palm I will adjust the orders sheet for next turn, but the aero with onboard unchecked have their orders on the aero tracker

zealous palm
#

cool, can you group the fighters and bombers for each ship, at the bottom of the ships grouping, that way we can just look down the sheet, and not have to look to see what's a fighter or not?

quasi crown
zealous palm
#

might also want to give each ship a few extra spaces between aerospace and crew, so they have room for us to move crew around as they swap ships, to help with fire tracking, or damage to FS, ect

#

otherwise it's a dam useful tool

#

ok, second to last image post

#

order is in 👍

zealous palm

All orders are in, and on, and tracked, all lines checked, and movement shown, minus @gritty basin who I am asking again to post an order lol

you have to fly over the tormentor to bomb it, and that will bring you out of formation, do you want to change?

hiho spam, away

solar ravine
# zealous palm

Given the massive skew in Emiza's poll (#1382036960356597963 message), the aero flightpath may need to be adjusted.
(Provided all of our aerospace wants to /is able to amend and repost their order. I'm fine with either path.)

#

-# it looks like a frigate

zealous palm
#

Tormentor is the BC, the Frigate, which is the main bombing target, is called the Brawler

solar ravine
#

tbf, we could nudge the aero flightpath to track over the BC with minimal issues.

kind oar
zealous palm
#

we could, but it would mean getting all 18ish aerospace assets to resubmit corrected orders, in the next 4 hrs

zealous palm
solar ravine
#

... how wide will the complete aero formation be, actually?
It might end up wide enough that the left bomber wing overflies the BC.

zealous palm
#

Current Strike Count,
2 Torpedos, 5 MBC, and 1 AC on the BC
4 Bombs, 1 MBC, and 2 AC on the Frig
1 MBC Port PV targeting anything that gets in range

torpid gate
#

is that too much on the frig?

zealous palm
#

Just enough, Frigates have 7 hit, that's 7 hits worth

#

if all go though

solar ravine
#

The bombers need to take the inside of the path anyways, otherwise the righthand squadron doesn't quite have enough speed for the entire path.

kind oar

#

BC has 8 hits on it max, they have 9 hits, so that should also die

# hard sleet My proof.

As stated before, the PEC is not contractually obligated to offer any insurance coverage and therefore sees no need to limit or oversee contracted crews intake of foreign substances. However the captain did offer to cover health expenses from his employee credit line but this situation may not be a reimbursable reason.

In other words, it's not banned but please stop doing drugs as it costs me money.

Oh yeah I’ve forgotten to put that in, also haven’t finished it yet really.

But basically, on the first planet, that I forget the name of, the big one. Before Armco came, while some rural people’s families (some village or farm) were evacuating to the city, the men mostly stayed behind to hold them off while most of the women and children left for the city. And then there one of the girls (my main fighter pilot) Katia led the people who came with her to help defend the city by using some old civilian planes as attack planes to help defend the city.

Then Katia made a mercenary company with them under Armco. Also (not exactly finished on this part but) got support of some royal family who was there because the princess (Ada) liked both Katia and her new mercenary company.

So my two leaders are Katia and Ada, Ada is also the one leading my crew, the fairies, right now.

#

it was good enough, that you understood the idea lol

quasi crown
#

I think pausing a turn in the cleared out gate tile to rearm after we shoot would be worth. Maybe the aeros can hang out in the decks while we mop up the Orbis with guns so we can wait to reload the guns and the aeros on the same turn would be worth while

#

I think W1 is still a good plan

fluid cave
quasi crown
#

Fair, I was just thinking that the guns have 3 ammo each

rapid sorrel
#

It'd be cool if aero had 3 ammo each as well

edgy harbor
#

That should be an upgrade

#

Or imagine if you could do mid air resupply

#

-# or probably my best idea: what if we just mounted the LM light laser cannon on a fighter? Boom: practically unlimited ammo.

zealous palm
#

does reloading the orbital guns also take LS? if so, and it can be done with the same LS cost as the fighters, it might be a good idea to stay that extra turn, and rearm/reload here, and repair if need be, then move the following turn, even if we only used 1/3 of the shots

#

speaking of LM light laser cannons, a light laser, that has no ammo, might be a nice compromise between the HMG's and the AC, might even give it turret base, but 1 range like normal, and the 1d4 damage

quasi crown
zealous palm
#

yah we need LS, not sure if it was part of the 1 LS per 2 turns to reload/rearm that the aero assets have, or if it was seperate

as long as the TF is in supply they can resupply

   An accented voice came through a second later over the sound of heavy machinery. "Of course, Captain. Shoot."
   "A couple of crews from our task force were voicing some issues on finding us on the ARMCO database in order to request supplies and I noted that we should fully registered since we got the ship. They insisted and sent me this register asking if this was us. Let me send it to you." Tella quickly forwarded the message.
   "Yeah I put in all the paperwork and we got our requisit..." Renard's voice dropped off. "Yeah..."
   "Renard," Tella started, desperately trying to hold in her cold anger, "why is there an extra R?" There was quite a noticeable pause as all Tella could hear was crews preparing all the ships on deck.
   "It's French, Captain." Renard finally said in quick order.
   "It's... French." Tella repeated.
   "...Yep."
   Another pause, the tension holding thick in the air. "Fix it Renard."
   "Right away, Captain." And with that the call was terminated.
   "God dammit." Tella cursed under her breath, rubbing her temples.```

If the ship is disabled and pathfinder is still crawling they can possibly take up boarding.

Just a thought

If it does get disabled, PV can board with Masakari and Tiber's units

Alright knowing the fact that we’ll probably not be able to hit with full capability this turn.

We peel off a fighter flight that may have used up ammo & the 2 bombers that used the torpedos to fallback for rearm early & cover the remaining bombers with 2 fighter flights.

Pros:

  • 2 separate stage of rearm means they’ll be space for all units to rearm without overcrowding
  • fighter flight will always be up to react and sortie for interception mission

Cons:

  • Separation also means less number & vulnerability
quasi crown

Sucks that the alpha strike is weaker but I don't think its that big of a deal. 2 torps still launched and the aeros are safer on that flight path

The bombs will simply drop next turn

Let me see what Tormentor is going to get hit by potentially…Primo Vic got 2 MBC locked on, Aviary’s got an Autocannon Locked on, Exodia got a MBC & Autocannon locked on.

MBC & Torpedo has higher AP
Autocannon has 1 AP leaving 1 Armor to roll above

I’m not counting the 6 other fighters of Valkyrie & Guardian squadrons because evasive makes it so that the max damage we do are 2 which won’t go through the armor.

I’m surprised it did

Flanking rules are being questioned in the taccom chat

I think it’s because we somehow flanked it even though we shouldn’t have been able to or maybe shack counted the bombs from the bombers

Anyone think we should be scanning the civs for borg signs?

tough jay
#

It’s probably fine…

mossy flare
#

So repair and rearm for the aerospace while we scoot on over to L-W1?

fluid cave
#

If our bombers have ammo, they should be able to hit the frigate before it leaves

mossy flare
#

I really want to scan the civs, it's possible they could have been infiltrated.

tough jay
#

So Exodia needs to get rid of fire & a quick repair

#

& the Frigate “Brawler” also needs to die

edgy harbor
#

Do fires deal damage over time to the ship itself?

fluid cave
#

Yes, if we don't deal with them

mossy flare
#

"If a fire continues to the end of the next round the vessel takes 1 hit worth of damage per fire."

#

So the Brawler could blow up on it's own

edgy harbor
#

Perhaps then, could the frigate just die by itself to those 2 fires it's got?

edgy harbor
fluid cave
#

Unlikely

mossy flare
#

I'd assume they'll be able to put out at least one fire in a turn though

fluid cave

It just reduces actions.

We should check the wreckages of Tormentor & Enemy Fighters for enemy combat analysis

edgy harbor

Also for engine parts
-# the chimichangas ain't cheap

mossy flare
#

So can I do a rearm repair action to save time for our aerospace units? Or is it not allowed? Otherwise I'll scan the civs for borgs

calm talon
#

You're not saving any time. Any aero that lands can't take off same turn, so they will have an action available to do it themselves.

oh well

Then you could reload them and they'd be ready T5

Anyways, chimichangas shall now be distributed to the PV gunnery crews who landed the finishing blow on that battlecruiser as a reward.

looks like it, landing all the craft, and the 5 orbitals are pushing for LW1, might also ask echo to repair exodia, while it's crew gets that fire under control

mossy flare
#

What's the formation?

zealous palm
#

for the 5 orbitals? probibly echo behind beside exodia so it can repair it, PV front, and the other two flanking L and R?

#

unless other captains want to be in other spots

edgy harbor

Think we all agree on PV taking point, so at the very least that spot should stay as is.

zealous palm

main issue with PV taking point, is the other orbital skeep on sweeping past it lol, and not it's not taking point anymore

lyric turret

I think whoever is on comms should scan the wreckage in absence of targets.

I still think we should scan the civs

I'll be scanning the wreckage again, he never went into what the life signs were

He did, they were borgs

Plus I don't want a debris field of buzzdroids

he only went over the civi life signs, on teh freghter that Atlas scanned, and the frigate scan, not my BC scan

mossy flare

The BC had life signs that were investigated and were borgs.

zealous palm
#

dont remember seeing that in the midrounds, ill have to go up and look again

mossy flare

Yeah so life signs were only seen on tormentor

Then it mentions the life signs again baring similarities to the civs but with less organic matter i.e. borgs

zealous palm
#

yep just reread, he only compaired the civi life signs to the tormentors from last round, and found a reduction ,my scan we specifically into the tormentors, to see if I could get more detail into that and the mechanical manufacturing going on there

#

oh well

mossy flare

Also don't need to scan the civs as we technically already did

So we can scan the wreckage as we nose through

we need to intercept it at LW1

I want us in LW1 zone this turn tm and able to launch fighters/bombers for a spread wing search and destroy next turn, if we don't automatically detect it, it's movement 2, so it wont outrun the BC's if they chase

#

this is where a fast destroyer hunter with an AC or two front/arc, or an Arty Arc MBC would be nice

edgy harbor
#

If we are moving to LW-1, should I put my order as comms intercept on the frigate that should be there?

zealous palm

yah, maybe a general, checking all coms frequency for the frigate transmitting kinda order?

lyric turret

They should take two turns they jumped into other gate to escape first

I'll be doing a scan on the way out, of the wreckage, if the other scanner wants to save it for the next zone

yah, were not sure how fast it's going, and really, we know it's going there, but all are BG's are also going to Nav 1, so they might intercept it lol

lyric turret

I think that means it has already left the tacmap

Oh didn’t know reloading and repairing aircraft needed orders now

#

That’s cool

zealous palm
#

most of the reloading and repair of aircraft will be their own pilots, but if they need both, it'll need 2 orders

keen yacht
#

Yeah I can help do that

quasi crown
#

Did any aero take hits?

mossy flare
#

Do we have to specify the craft?

zealous palm
#

and we have atleast 1 fighter that's taken a hit, so they will need 2 orders, also it'll be one order, from someone, to break out 1 LS for rearm/repair turn 4 and 5

mossy flare
#

Warden did from our birds

zealous palm
#

I figure each pilot will rearm their own craft, and one person can put in a repair order on Warden, a second can put in the stockpile order, and all the guners can put in reload orders for their guns

#

that's most of the "free" people orders taken up, which really were the infantry and medics that were just digging in

keen yacht
#

I don’t think I even shot, since there was no fire coming out of my gun in the mid round map

zealous palm
#

as always, this is only suggestions, and if a gun didn't fire, like the HMG's probibly didn't, then you don't need to reload, and can do something else, the end round map should have what guns fired on it, if not ill bug shack about it

#

incoming long range artillery strike, everyone keep your heads down

#

lol

#

that or it's storm breaking atmo

even though it was manned

we'll see if it's correct at the end of the round, hopefully he put everything in the midrounds, that actually fired

#

Ok so looks like we’re chillin and repairing for a round before moving on? Do we need to wait or can we repair in transit?

quasi crown
#

I think we repair in transit

zealous palm
#

were repairing/reloading in transit, we need to get to LW1, to catch the frigate, before it reports to the rest of the bots

#

We only took one hit on exodia, and I'm sure our resident engineer is happy to put out the fire

glad flume
#

Ok sick. Does the engineer use up a repair kit or are engineers special?

quasi crown
#

Only use a repair kit to repair the hit taken. No kit needed to fight the fire

#

I think our freighter will do the repair

glad flume
#

Oh damn ok. And aviary only has 2 kits? How many does the echo have?

quasi crown
#

Which may need a crew transfer

#

echo has 4

#

Maybe we should save Echo's kits?

#

and use the kits on exodia first?

fluid cave
#

I'd say use the Exodia's first

#

Those can only be used on the Exodia

glad flume
#

It’s up to yall. I have 5 and at least 2 count for double so I (hopefully) won’t ever need the Echo’s. It sucks I can’t transfer them. I’d give yall some

quasi crown

Its all good

#

Think repair kits should be transferable if you dock. But next tweak.

quasi crown
#

Or if you could burn an LS to replenish kits

fluid cave
#

I think Burning 1 LS for a fixed number of kits

#

Same as Burning an LS for a fixed amount of Atmo fuel.

#

Those as modules sound fun to me

#

More options to burn LS

#

This is honestly a crazy campaign. None of the others had more than even one AO, right? And now we have like 20?

Yep

Ok so our next step is Nav 1 or W1?

Itll intercept the Frigate and continue our gameplan

Oh captain I forgot to say, you know those extra repair kits you asked for, I got them from all these Antiquated vessels used for troop transport. Nobody was using them... oh hey those transport we're using look familiar!

Unless we see some orbitals come over the city I think so

I just wish we could send a sortee to help support storm blessed. I am getting heavy flashbacks to storm chaser.

what about the orbital over Elim? who is planning on taking that thing down?

rapid sorrel
#

If it's just the 1, TF2 should be able to, right?

#

I’m sure shack has a plan for us

fluid cave
#

Guys, if we charge the Gate, nothing bad can happen.

north crown
#

He knows we’re the main orbital roadblock so either he’s gonna run circles around us with fast task forces or he’s gonna slug it out with us and try to whittle us down

hard sleet
#

Nothing fun. But I also know we have a lore more reinforcements coming. They held as they needed to and I think that the other TF’s can try and run the blockade or have atlas deal with it

fierce sentinel
north crown
#

They have ACS

rapid sorrel
hard sleet
#

I mean seeing your big capital ship get railed up the backside by an entire air wing of fighters and bombers will do things to any fleat

rapid sorrel
#

We hunt it down and we keep the pressure, no relent, no retreat. The bigger threat we are, the more we draw from everyone else

fluid cave
#

We should intercept not chase. If we Block WL1 then from Elim city to WL1 we've got them blockaded

#

Transfering works

#

No need for me to shuttle between Ships

hard sleet
#

Just wondering. If we wanted to sorty. Would it cost 2 LS as we would need to resupply the fleet to re arm and then pay the sorty tax.

quasi crown
#

Yes, also sortie right now would be bad since all of the aero minus the evasives are out of ammo

hard sleet
#

I thought that evasive units also shot? We just missed as was the price of almost becoming untouchable.

edgy harbor
#

So uh, I just realized there is a Sabaton song that has got the same name as the PV (idk if this was discussed before)

There's a reason I suggested we call teh carrier No Bullets Fly 😛

Hmm, looking at the map looks like only vampire, frebird, and tempest shot

amber dragon
#

yea

fierce sentinel
#

@glad flume guessing for order this round you still want me manning the HMG? don't think I can do anything else.

quasi crown
#

Shack said the map was clear but there are still 3 enemy fighters

zealous palm
#

yah, I'll poke shack about that

mossy flare
#

@slow whale I'll reload the cannon unless you want me somewhere else.

fluid cave
#

Also the Frigate is still there.
Can we bomb it with any bombers?

zealous palm
#

if stuff is still on map, we shouldn't be reloading this turn, we'll finish shooting it down, then reload and move next turn, that way we get the most out of our LS

rapid sorrel
#

According to this, that Frigate hasn't escaped yet

fluid cave
#

And last time some one was going to leave they got attacked.
Fluffle

quasi crown
#

Yeah the bombers haven't dropped bombs yet either so I think the aero unit should fly and engage the 3 fighters while the bombers drop on it on hex 4214 before flying back

fluid cave
#

So we should be able to it it as it runs

calm talon
quasi crown
#

Scanners should aim at LW1 I think

zealous palm
#

yah he said so, I asked in tac-com comms for clerification on the map, since theirs mix up confuision between the midround, and end round maps and wording

slow whale
rapid sorrel
zealous palm
#

the scanners we have cant go to the next zone, that's a feature of the targeted one

zealous palm
hard sleet
#

Y’all mind if I pull back to the Exodia and stay until I can get a repair in when we next resuply the fleet.

zealous palm
#

yah, you need to retreat so we don't lose you

hard sleet
#

Sounds good. I’ll check in with the rest of guardian and see what they plan on doing.

zealous palm
#

ok, for now, I would say assume that were going to need to shoot down those last fighters and frigate, so order appropriately, if not, well were just flying around an extra turn, and moving towards the exit. If shack changes that before tomorrow afternoon we can recalulate and give trunkated orders to land/refule/repair and move

#

reload/rearm orders have to wait for a "break out a LS for fleet reload" type order

#

which we don't want to do, if theirs still combat going on, unless were completely used up

mossy flare
#

I'm happy to rescind my order in a bit if we need to.

hard sleet
#

Sounds good. Think I will sit the next engagement out as I am pretty sure I already shot and don’t want to risk getting blow up unless people are at risk

zealous palm
#

yah just wanted it out there, I'm basing everything on the end round maps, not the mid round info

#

looking at the fire icons, It looks like Tempest, Frebird, and Vampire were the only ones that shot, both torps look to be going towards the frigate, might have hit it, Warden is the only one damaged, 3 more incoming LRM's maybe to Exodia, unless that was the 4 it shot, and 1 hit, Corvus Starbord gun is still fully loaded, and all port and starbord guns on the PV are loaded

#

the 3 bot fighters are angleing in on our birds, or on the BG to the east of our birds, and the 2 hit left frigate is moving north, need sto move 1 tile, to be out of contact, and it should be

We have posted the question

#

Head for w1 I believe

#

in formation

rich gulch
#

So the ship that says it's going to be leaving is going to be taking off next turn. You guys know that because in the notes for I want to say was Atlas they did a comms intercept on it so we know where it's going to go.

#

If you guys want to engage it just tell me who's attacking it.

mossy flare
#

Well if we aren't rearming I'm not sure what to do.

rich gulch
#

But remember you can only fire at your ending point. So are you guys going to follow? You get the sense it's faster

#

Then your warships.

#

But fighters could keep up pretty easily if they want to chase it

mossy flare
#

I don't think all our bombers have fired? And it's got no PDC so we could get it if they have ammo left

lyric turret
#

Do any of our bombers have munitions left?

quasi crown
zealous palm
#

the 4 non torp bombers have ammo, and like atleast 1/2 if not 2/3 of the fighters have ammo, the BC's can move up, and keep within range with their MBC/AC also, the PV should probibly start making for LW1's, but they wont leave the tile zone

lyric turret
#

Just need clarification to make sure we aren't technically doing a sortie

zealous palm
#

even if it's speed 3, our BC's are speed 2, have range 3 on the AC/MBC, and it's range 2, so they would be just at the edge of their range, but still able to hit

#

as long as were not leaving the zone, and hitting it on the way out, it's not a sortie, a sortie is a specific mission, to send aerospace assets, to support another BG/TF, it cant just be a chase

#

sending help to Fluffle/Atlas, that's a sortie, sending fighters into the next zone, where there's no BG/TF, I don't think that's allowed

lyric turret
#

Then if the squadrons feeling it I say clear the board.

zealous palm
#

yah, 4 fighters need to return to base, to repair or rearm, but the rest have all their ammo. Since it lasts 2 rounds, we shouldn't break out the ammo box's this round, wait till next, we can rearm the rest then, and reload the guns, and have 1 more round to do a second reload/rearm if we find contacts in LW1 then

rapid sorrel
#

We need to stagger our reloads as much as physically possible

lyric turret
#

Focus on repairs first then.

zealous palm
#

yah, repair the exodia, and take care of the fire, we know it's track, so you guys can move up, and aim to get all 4? guns on it, the fighters can take out the 3 bot fighters, and the bombers can do a flyover of the path, and drop bombs, to hopefully hit it if the AC and MBC cant range

#

im worried if we don't clear them, it might change it's mind, and go after the auto freighter BG's or the BG of HAT's and VTOL's being escort by the 4-5 fighter wing

lyric turret
#

Yeah don't want it hunting in the backlines.

mossy flare
#

But all the forward cannons have fired. They can't fire again without a reload right?

zealous palm
#

they have 3-4 shots, the number before the reload is how many shots they have

mossy flare
#

Oh my bad

#

Then shit let's pound 'em

zealous palm
#

Reload 3/3, on teh AC and MBC means they can fire 3 times, before reloading, the HMG can point defense, to take out all the LRMs, but uses up all the ammo, and can be fired at any point of the ships movement path

#

oh the AC and MBC are range 2, not 3

#

ok, still might not be able to keep them in range

fluid cave
#

I think we should just go to W L1

sinful latch
#

I'd say just let the bombers handle the Frigate, it can't outrun them

zealous palm
#

yah, the bombers and fighters can splash the frigate and 3 bot fighters, while we burn for LW-1's enterence

mossy flare
#

Can we scan WL1 before entry?

fluid cave

No
