Also, are we burning LS for resupply y/n? If so I'll reload on the move

mossy flare
#

No

zealous palm
#

asking shack, but I think no

mossy flare
#

No need, all the guns still have shots

zealous palm
#

I say N for resupply right now, wait for all the fighters/bombers to land first

sinful latch
#

Okay, then damaged birds will have to wait for repairs, but should land asap

fluid cave
#

The Bombers that are attacking can land this turn
I can rearm 2 of them if they land at Avairy

sinful latch
#

And by damaged birds, I mean Warden

zealous palm
#

ok, no we need to go poke it with our face, cant scan it from long range

calm talon
#

there won't be a tacmap for gate next turn, so I think speed is irrelevant? Any bird can do their thing and land.

zealous palm
#

yah, Warden, the 3 fighters that already shot, and the 2 torp bombers can all land, the rest are needed to mop up

#

no tacmap IF we let it go, IF we attack, their will be until their all dead

fluid cave
sinful latch
#

Also, Marines, feeling better about your shipboard posting now, looking at Storm?

calm talon
#

Considering people were trying to recruit me into Storm before I joined? Yes.

zealous palm
fluid cave
zealous palm
#

yah, looking at it, going to 4214 should cover it, and they should have more then enough movement to make it back, that's only 1 tile

#

that's shacks reply to scanning

fluid cave
zealous palm
#

yah just like that

#

Reminder, Orders due tomorrow afternoon, in about 24 hrs

gritty basin
#

what's the plan for the fighters rn?

zealous palm
#

so far 7/9 have voted no on breaking open the LS to start rearming

fluid cave
#

Suprising

zealous palm
#

fighters need to end their turn able to fire on enemy fighters right? they cant just do it over the path?

fluid cave
#

#1382036960356597963 message Poll link for others to share

fluid cave
zealous palm
#

ok, then yah, fighters and bombers can both follow that yellow line, and they all land on teh BC's, I would say the damaged fighter, and one of the spent fighters, come strait to PV, since that'll be a bit farther then the yellow line

mossy flare
#

Can I just say it's awesome we arrived through the gate and unloaded 10 hit points worth of damage and wiped that BC off the map

zealous palm
#

or two of the spent, and the damaged goes to what ever boat has the eng onboard

fluid cave
#

@hard sleet You are going to the Exodia (Like you planned)

#

@cosmic ledge Can you fix Warden up?

#

I should have specificed that I was loaded on supplies last turn.

hard sleet
#

I’m still loaded right?

zealous palm
#

your loaded, but damaged

#

1 hit remaining

hard sleet
#

Cool. Also I thought shadow was fighting the fire

fluid cave
#

Someone else can do that

zealous palm
#

only tempest, frebird, and vampire shot, and he is currently

fluid cave
#

The Engineering action is more important

#

Tempest, Frebird and Vampire can all land at avairy. I'll reload them.

zealous palm
#

he can always repair you next turn, since we'll probibly need ot break out the LS to get the SS to repair you and reload everyone. And you can take off again with the rest afterwards.

#

Cobalt, so far were not breaking out the LS to rearm, so nothing to reload with this turn lol

fluid cave
#

HAT supply Cargo that I definitly had on my sheet last turn

zealous palm
#

Sure, on your sheet wink wink, nudge nudge well, we can see if shack accepts it lol

fluid cave
#

But we're just burning the LS next turn so it doesn't matter.

zealous palm
#

true true

fluid cave
#

Also then there's no need for graves to repair Warden this turn

#

The flight decks repair and rearm

zealous palm
#

yah that was my point, next turn we can focus on repair and rearm, as we move into LW-1, and myself, Hose, Cbass, and SonofSkz can do the scann/comms in the new zone, while the rest of rearm guns, and repair/rearm fighters

fluid cave
#

I'm going to make the case that we should burn the LS this turn to repair and rearm everyone so if there is anything in W L1 we're ready to fight on T5.
Otherwise we won't be ready if we need to fight on T4 or T5.

#

We can still reload more stuff next turn if we need, but we should us the down time we get.

zealous palm
fluid cave
#

Oh, I'm assuming we're moving to W L1 this turn?

#

We know shack will let us

zealous palm
#

were not

heady void
#

Hey, do we plan to finish of that bot ship?
Also do we know what aero units fired and which ones still have ammo?

fluid cave
zealous palm
#

we cant go there, and still have the fighters/bombers take out the remaining fighters and frigate

#

atleast I don't think so

fluid cave
zealous palm
#

true true

#

ill poke shack in the comms channel about it

fluid cave
#

Cause if they can all land on our ships, then we can move as a TF to the next point

zealous palm
#

question asked, we'll see if he says yay or nay

amber dragon
#

Is landing an action?

fluid cave
#

Yes, it takes 0.5 speed

#

It's not a primary like attacking or using orbital equipment

amber dragon
#

So aeros that would go along this path would have enough speed to land?

Screenshot_2025-07-01_at_16.29.12.png
fluid cave
#

Yes

zealous palm
#

no

#

not that path

#

one sec

fluid cave
#

That's about 5 distance by my estimate

amber dragon
#

Or similar path to attack those fighters and also bomb the frigate and then meet up with our orbitals

zealous palm
#

4215 - 4115 - 4214 - 4215 - 4216 - 4217, that's 5 movement, leaving .5 left to land, and the orbitals havn't moved yet, so they can then use their movement on teh strategic map

amber dragon
#

So at the end everybody could land

zealous palm
#

yes, everyone could land, of that force, I would say the two bombers that had torps, should probibly make strait for PV, and land, they cant follow the path, and have enough range to get to PV and land

amber dragon
#

That means that we could burn the LS and start reloading the aeros that already fired this turn and on the next turn everybody else could rearm

zealous palm
#

yah, gunners who's guns shot, could rearm, the rest head to the flight bays, and use 1 action per flight bay to reload/rearm/repair

amber dragon
#

Yea so anyone who needs to could land and rearm this turn and the rest could on the next turn when the people from this turn would be ready to take-off if any thread appeard

zealous palm
#

I'm counting 5 guns not shot, and the medic/inf that dug in, that's 7 guys for flight bay duty

#

na, everyone could land and rearm this turn, at the end of their sortie, and launch next turn when were in LW1, for patrols

fluid cave
zealous palm
#

that'll work, and it's only 5 to any ship

amber dragon
zealous palm
#

it's 1 action per flight deck, but I think both planes can be serviced at once?

#

I think

amber dragon
#

Oooh okay

#

That would be great

fluid cave
#

Each person that attacked last round can rearm another person.
so 3 fighter + 2 bombers = 10 total.
And I can rearm another 2

#

I think we just need 2 more actions then

zealous palm
#

also the 5 guns that didn't fire could rearm people, the guns that did fire, their gunners can just rearm their guns

sinful latch
#

I doubt a flight deck can manage 2 rearms, since one has to hang from the ceiling

zealous palm
#

and we have the medic and inf that dug in, thats 2 more

amber dragon
#

Either way, we should burn the LS this turn, there's no point in waiting

amber dragon
sinful latch
zealous palm
#

ok, we have 15 aerospace, the 4 fighters and 2 bombers that are going strait to home base, should be able to self rearm/repair, so that's 9 left, the Stbd pair of guns and the Port MBC on PV didn't fire, thats 3, so 6 left, the Exodia HMG's didn't fire, so that's 4 left, the Aurorae Stbd MBC didn't fire so that's 3, we had 1 medic and 1 inf dig in, so that's 1, and Cobalt can take care of it

fluid cave
#

So Knightmare can rearm someone that goes to the PV.
Mobeius, Myself, AngelH4lo, Tempest and SonOfSky (Crew) can rearm 6 extras on the Avairy (I'm taking up a spot on the flightdecks)
RZU147 can rearm someone on the CA.
(13
We just need an action from the exodia or CA to rearm the last 2

zealous palm
#

that's if each figher/bomber needed an action to rearm

lyric juniper
amber dragon
#

And if we don't tdo it this turn, we are supplied also on the next

fluid cave
#

So only Archonmage or MasterCrasher need to land somewhere abnormal

#

Which would be the PV

#

Or Knightmare can go to the CA and that's it

#

We'd need 1 action from the Exodia to rearm Firewing and Sadwolf

lyric juniper
# fluid cave

What path are the orbitals taking? Because all the bombers could just take a 120 degree left and go straight south to the orbitals, no reason to go around if speed is weird to manage

fluid cave
#

Orbitals aren't moving so they can move on Stragetic Map

#

Also Speed isn't really a concern with that route

lyric juniper
#

Wait, with no Tac-Map wouldn’t it just boil down to ask Shack (specifically) if our fighters and standard bombers can chase until it’s off map, then land and move with the group? No real need to figure things out with the map that’s not going to be made anyway

fluid cave
#

This is what he said

#

So we can just do that

#

Then assign everyone to their ships.
Which is normal except for you. (CA instead of PV)

#

We've got a list of actions that need to be done so it works mathematically

zealous palm
#

Yah, we're trying to just figure out who's reloading guns, vs aero, vs other actions.

#

I'm planning on scanning the debris, to see if I can get a better scan of that manufacturer center now that it's breaking up

gritty basin
fluid cave
#

You're good

#

Knightmare is taking the hit

#

But you'd just not be landing at the ship you started at

gritty basin
#

Do I have to say which I'm landing on?

fluid cave
#

Not sure

#

If you don't the Taccoms will probably just put you where you need to go

pine ferry
#

so if we shot last round are we just going back to our carrier?

fluid cave
#

Yes, you're also using the flight deck there to rearm and repair.

tough jay
#

What’s the plan so far?

#

checking in after a whole day

fluid cave
#

We are burning 1 LS so rearm and reload everything and every one.
If you attacked last turn you are operating a flight deck to repair and rearm 2 people. (Callsign Frebird, Vampire, Zeta, Tempest and Wisp )
Otherwise you are attacking the Frigate and then landing to be rearmed and repaired.
Everyone can land at their home ship except for wisp (Knightmare) who will be landing at the CA.

#

Myself and Sonofskz will be operating flight decks
and someone on the exodia needs to operate them as well.

mossy flare
#

We're burning an LS? Since when?

fluid cave
#

We'll be moving to W L1.

mossy flare
#

The poll says no

fluid cave
#

We can reload everyone this turn? why wait

mossy flare
#

Cos if we save it we can make our ammo last longer?

zealous palm
#

we'll need to burn it anyway to rearm the planes

fluid cave
#

If our fighters or bombers are needed they can't attack since they'll all have attacked.
Personally it's better to reload when we aren't under fire. It makes 1 LS a full refresh

zealous palm
#

no point in waiting, that poll was from before we knew shack would allow us to chase and kill the frigate if the aero units did it

fluid cave
#

We've got 14 so that's plenty

mossy flare
#

Okay, then

#

You want me rearming on the flight deck? I thought the pilots can do that themselves

#

Not against it just want to understand the logic

fluid cave
#

Not if they attacked.
The goal is to have them ready to attack next turn if needed

mossy flare
#

Okay got it so rearming the chasers after they return

zealous palm
#

yep yep

fluid cave
#

Also it doens't have to be you. I could ask Cbass instead if you'd rather run something else

mossy flare
#

Do I have to specify the craft being rearmed or just say I'm rearming whoever needs it?

zealous palm
#

there will also need to be scanning, and comms actions in LW-1, and I'm scanning the wreck here

mossy flare
#

No I'd love to do a rearm

fluid cave
#

I think you can just say operating flight deck

zealous palm
#

yah, action, operating flight deck #Y on X

fluid cave
#

If we have 5 of those on the avairy that's 9 craft that land rearmed

mossy flare
#

I'll let someone man the scanner this time

#

Alright order is placed for now. Hopefully this plan will stick

gritty basin
#

So, just to be clear, I've fired and need to rearm right?

fluid cave
#

Based on the map you haven't.

#

The current suggestion is to attack the Frigate and then land at your home ship

gritty basin
#

But I'd have to stop to attack right?

fluid cave
#

No

#

You don't have ponderous

mossy flare
#

That's orbitals

gritty basin
#

oh ok

mossy flare
#

Plus shack is removing the gate tac-map so you just have to state your desire to chase and engage the fleeing enemy elements before RTB

gritty basin
#

So I don't have to land?

mossy flare
#

Not until you've shot your shot or been hit

gritty basin
#

So I just have my fighter advance through the tile with the frigate (Making it shoot) and land when it arrives back at the carrier?

mossy flare
#

Yeah that would work

#

I think

old hill
#

Do we need more bodies manning flight decks on the Aviary to R&R fighters and bombers?

quasi crown
gritty basin
#

Orders have been posted

#

Please notify me if I did something wrong. I'll get to it tomorrow

#

Now goodnight everyone. Have fun scrapping the frigate

mossy flare
#

We have two on rearm already. We need someone ready to scan when we reach the nav point

gritty crystal
#

should all bombers return for reloading?

quasi crown
#

Only the torpedo bombers

#

Since the others did not actually drop bombs

gritty crystal
#

oh were we not in range?

quasi crown
#

correct. Shack says you have to fly over the flight path of the orbital to bomb it

gritty crystal
#

ah it mustve moved away

quasi crown
#

Yup, just fly to 4214 and bomb then fly back

gritty crystal
#

pk thanks

quasi crown
#

The loaded fighters (minus warden) should provide escort and wie up those fighters before returning as well

fluid cave
#

If firewing isn't attacking then we can have them rearm on the Exodia and everything is covered

quasi crown
#

Well, warden doesn't need to rearm, just repair lol

#

The smiling face of Victorum's ATC grabs the broadcast mic and sends out the call to the aero forces. "Wisp, Zeta, Warden, Vampire, Frebird, and Tempest come on home to rearm and repair. Everyone else you are cleared for mop up duty. We will keep the bays clear for your reloading. Good work, ATC out."

Make a Squadron of Night Witches to escort it, to keep the Sabaton flavour

Is it gonna be tradition for ARMCO battleships to be named after Sabaton songs?

a dreadnought, bismark, and a squadron of night witches, along with a boarding infantry squad called stormtroopers, lol

May make mine the "Winged Hussars" then

are there any planes landing on the PV that need help rearming/refueling? or are they all going to the Aviary?

yeah

we just come in and destroy that bot ship immediatley

Knightmare's just poking fun

Can target any ship in a formation without being blocked by other ships due to self correcting missiles.

ok heading off to bed, just a reminder, you all have about 20 hrs left to submit orders, though they don't need to be super detailed this turn, just landing/rearming or attacking the leftovers then landing for aero, and performing whatever action's needed, weather it's reloading, or rearming the aeros, or running the scanner/comm for the 4 that will do that, and of course the captains need to put in the move order to LW-1. I'll check who's submitted and start pinging who hasn't after work tomorrow, in about 16 hrs from now.

any suggestion on route? or should i burn straight back to Aurorae?

you can go straight to the orbitals or you could go along this path to escort the bombers that will attack the frigate (because there are enemy fighters so it would be good to have some cover for them even when you don't have ammo)

Thanks for taking the hit

teal rampart
#

thanks for that info

#

Do I just need to write it as both a Primary and Secondary Action?

calm talon
#

Uh. A single primary action rearms 1 aircraft. You only have one primary action per turn.

fluid cave
calm talon
#

Right, and the VTOL bay, which has been updated, states "Can Reload and Repair a VTOL for 1 Action"

halcyon spire
#

Could the pilots rearm their own aerospace craft?

calm talon
#

If they're part of the TF yes

fluid cave
#

They can, but they can't if they attacked this round

mossy flare
#

as long as they aren't attacking as well

fluid cave
#

We're trying to get them all ready to attack T5 if needed

halcyon spire
#

Ok, that makes things easy.

hard sleet
#

Should I resubmit my order so that once I land I use the re arm and repair action or can I not as I am landing this turn.

halcyon spire
#

As far as I can tell, landing costs 0.5 speed.

#

It's a standard action, not a primary one.

#

So you could do both. (I think).

hard sleet
#

Also did we use an LS?

mossy flare
#

We did in the end I think

slow whale
#

Man I am worried for next round. If they don't take down that Frigate over Elim, Storm Blessed won't be getting enough reinforcements. Feel like they should have enough damage, but you never know.

mossy flare
#

Well Atlas still hasn't transferred in. If it looks bad we could maybe organise a sortie to stabilise?

fluid cave
#

We could

#

Or we could spend 1 LS to boost over and launch the fighters form even closer

mossy flare
#

I think Atlas is arriving next round though and they have the firepower to do a pretty good sweep

#

We catch the frigate on the back end they shouldn't have much to worry over

slow whale
#

I believe the situation will stabilize the following round regardless, its more whether Storm Blessed will be taking even more casualties. If those bots do indeed have +1 armor then us fighting at lower FS is really bad as it is gets harder to punch through.

fluid cave
#

But we get to dig in

#

That should be a massive boon

halcyon spire
slow whale
#

Yeah we will be good in an even fight. Just in this situation a lot of our squads were brought very low. Will probably see a couple more casualties unless they get those huge amount of reinforcements. Think two BGs are arriving if that frigate goes down.

mossy flare
#

Are the BGs not just arriving? I think they'll land as long as the star port is held

halcyon spire
#

They all have transports with various speeds. You can count the engines for the specific speed.

#

They're all sitting right next to the gate right now.

#

Going to take them a bit.

calm talon
#

There's no gate tacmap next turn, so they all can start hopping strat points

Seems like, it's just one primary action

If nobody has a problem I'm going to transfer to the Primo for a turn and scan the BC wreckage just in case

We're currently focused on rearm and repair of any late returners to the carrier

Okay I'll head to Aviary then since it looks like everything important is crewed

fluid cave
#

We need you here to check on Serria's crew

lyric turret
#

Ohh they got hit?

fluid cave
#

Sierra is out until the 11th

#

So they RPed a back blast from the autocannon

lyric turret
#

Okay seems good

slow whale
#

Totally forgot about that. Will definitely need some crew fill until then so you are always welcomed aboard Udown. Especially if we have a quick contact this coming turn. Though now that we have info on the Mine having no enemies, I wonder if we will find anything in L-W1

lyric turret
fluid cave
#

We just have an autocannon

lyric turret
#

Okay

fluid cave
#

You can run that, the scanner or a flight deck

quasi crown
#

Why are you coming back inside shiv?

slow whale
#

Yeah take your pick, pretty much all of them have reasons to be used. Cbass is helping on the flight deck and Bonkerz is getting a reload in while we are supplied.

lyric turret
#

Gonna be honest have the scanner half typed and I'm lazy

slow whale
#

It is a recoup and move round so it is the best time to be lazy.

pure bramble

I dont think there was any rule that says anything about it. I'd just hate for you to keep using your primary to open a door instead of getting to shoot.

Especially since we dont know what we're going to be walking into on w1

pure bramble
#

I think ill have to ask, but yeah your right that would be annoying

#

mind if I change it to just hold for now, or is that a nono?

mossy flare

it'sfine to chnge orders before the lock

quasi crown

Just delete and resend the order

pure bramble

thank you for asking as well will do so

Yah I was going to scan the wreckage, not bothering to put in an order, since I'm processing my own orders lol

rapid sorrel
#

Alright, I've outta the loop with life stuff, what's the plan?

edgy harbor
#

Think for us it's to head to LW-1 last I checked.

#

The others are gonna try to wreck the frigate before it can run away I think

quasi crown
#

Basically the loaded bombers and fighters are going to make 1 last attack run on the frigate and fighters still in the map before they flee and then RTB for repair and rearm. The ships are then headed to LW1

#

Shack confirmed we can do this in one turn

#

Also reminder the ones helping to rearm and repair should focus on the aeros that used their primary this turn

tough jay
#

The lack of visuals is killing me, where am I going to rearm

fluid cave
#

Avairy

tough jay
#

where is aviary going this turn

fluid cave
#

Doesn't matter

#

We aren't on a tactical map

tough jay
#

I can’t exactly put in a precise order to land on the Aviary then can I

fluid cave
#

You could use the current postion

zealous palm
#

If you manned a gun that fired last turn, please reload your gun, otherwise please go to the nearest flight deck and rearm/refule the returning fighters/bombers

#

if your aero, the only kind of order you need really is if your part of the attack and return wave, or just returning, and which ship your returning to

#

no map this turn, everyone can make the flight, so shack said no map needed please lol

#

FYI, you all have just under 6 hrs' left to submit orders

north crown
#

Are we in supply?

#

Or saving that for now?

fluid cave

Orders that are going in are assuming we're in supply

But it should be getting fixed

fluid cave

The Engineer is putting out a fire

#

I don't know if anyone is repairing the Exodia

halcyon dew
#

I could repair the Exodia, restore the 1 hit

fluid cave
#

They've got kits onboard

#

We should always eat those kits first, since those can only be used on that ship

halcyon dew
#

But do they have crew that can use those? The sheet says that the Exodia doesnt have a damage Control team

fluid cave
#

DCT gives you +1 kit and lets you double a kit's bonus twice

#

It's not needed to repair anymore

fierce sentinel
#

For rearming a Aero, do we need to specify which one?

fluid cave
#

You can just say flight deck

#

The Taccoms can just count up actions

#

If there aren't enough rearms then they'll randomly pick who doesn't get it

#

Or let the fighters decide

fierce sentinel
#

Alright, I'll have to delete my pervious order to rearm an aero order since it seems like nobody else is doing it in the Corvus Aurorea.

halcyon dew
fierce sentinel
#

For now it looks like we got 2 crew in the Corvus Aurorea to rearm and repair and we got 3 aero's coming in

#

@calm talon the stbd gun is fully loaded, but the HMG is out of ammo did you want to reload that?

calm talon
#

I can do that. Do you need me to resubmit the order to specify?

quasi crown

oh wait, teej is reloading that.

Oh, hey @quasi crown before I forget, could you make a mention of correcting my name in the TACCOM order pretty please. Not the biggest deal but it hurts my soul a little to look at. Promise to fill out all necessary ARMCO change forms.

#

I'm little concerned about Shack saying that the gate tac map woun't be needed for next turn. Does that mean that it will be needed again in like 2 turns?

calm talon

no, that just means there's no hostiles left

no hostiles = no tacmap

Heyo Victorum! Spearhead here, just wondering about your general strategic plan for the next few turns. Heading towards Elim, or down south of the planet to NAV-LW1

From there we figure out what to do

Excellent, Spearhead will be aiming for the mine next turn, so we’ll have those large supplies ready if you need them.

We're probably good

yah were good for LS right now, but might need them later on in the mission depending on how things go

It didn't fire last turn

did i not fire It?

You can also go to a different ship to help

Crew movement is free between ships

amy thing else i can do
can i say shoot the biggest badest bot i can see that way if more sow up next tern in my arc they get shot?
any one else need help with stuff and does it take actions to transfer?

#

can one of the sheets have an ammo tracker add?

quasi crown
#

So Aviary could use more people helping R&R aeros

#

You can also just man your gun on the CA

#

No action to transfer

#

The ammo is being tracked on the order tracker

#

Currently 3 of the planes landing this turn will need R&R next turn

dusky dagger
#

ah thare it is just found it

#

but not this tur?

quasi crown
#

They used their action to shoot, so a crew member would need to R&R them this turn for them to be able to take off next turn with ammo

Currently of the 8 shooting this turn only 3 on the av won't be rearmed for next turn

Between the Battleship and the Gun focused Battlecruiser which would you prefer to be your home ship?

zealous palm

@lilac meteor order format is pinned, I would say just put one in to land on the PV or CA. You can read over some of the past stuff, but the skinny is we're heading to L-W1 to take and hold, then maybe supporting spearhead, the LW2 and maybe the scrapyard.

#

Base bomber? Or do you have any bonuses?

lilac meteor
#

Im pretty fresh so what evs ship is best, im good for what evs, no upgrades yet

quasi crown
zealous palm

Cool, you'll just go with the bomber wing then probably once everyone's landed. Also Cael is right, if you want an activity todo this turn, land on CA, and the crew the flight deck, it'll allow others to rearm and refuel

What is your units callsign

I’ll hold for now, do you need my orders pronto or can I procrastinate it one more day

Hold vs Land Cael depends on how he wants to RP it. Either his bomber was down or something, or he's a late gate exit.

A problem I just noticed I think we don’t have enough crew in the Corvus Aurorae, by the looks of it we only have 5 people in turn 2 as crew and we need 6 minimum to crew.

halcyon spire
#

Minimum to crew all stations or minimum ship crew?

  • If it's the first one, then that might be a problem
  • The second one is fine, you just need to meet that requirement to get into the campaign but after in a campaign you're good to go under it.
fierce sentinel
#

Minimum ship crew, the one you need to start the campaign. Though you couldn’t go under it?

halcyon spire
#

You could just have the captain and you'll be fine.

fierce sentinel
#

Ah alright then it’s all good

halcyon spire
#

Not going under it would be stupid because then one crew member would die in combat and the entire battleship would be inoperable.

fierce sentinel
#

That’s fair, it’s weird how you can willingly go under it though even when it’s a minimum at the start.

halcyon spire
#

The minimum is to make sure that ships are properly crewed and not spammed into the campaign.

@quasi crown are we allowed to react to orders in the Victorum order channel with non Tac com related emotes to show appreciation for our fellow TF members or dose that make your duties more difficult?

Just confirming. You guys should have 4 armed bombers currently right? As only torpedo bombers we're able to fire out of that formation last round.

fluid cave
mossy flare
#

Yeah the other bombers never overflew the target

fluid cave
#

Just double checked.
It is Zeta and Wisp that have the torpedos

rich gulch
#

So all fighters used ammo that launched. All but 4 bombers dropped payloads. Meaning total damage possible is 4 that can get in range of the hostile Frig.

fluid cave
rich gulch
#

Indeed. you guys rocked that BC.

mossy flare
#

Some of our fighters looked unfired.

fluid cave
#

So everyone is getting rearmed this turn then.
We assumed some could still attack

mossy flare
#

I will say Shack that the frigate had 5/7 hits at last sighting unless that's a capability of these bot orbitals

rich gulch
#

and it was hit for 4.

#

giving it 1 left.

fluid cave
#

5/7 -> 1/7 = 4 hits. All the bombers hit then

#

I think we misread how the number was working

mossy flare
#

Oh sorry reading it back to front then

Didnt the frigate have 2 fires on it?

bombers couldn't have hit, they never flew over...

Aw damn

mossy flare
#

I think when the Pearl first hit the BC it was displayed as 1/7 which is where I got confused

rich gulch
#

It was originally shown as 1/? because we didnt know what its hit was.

#

So we counted the hits we've done to it.

#

Once it was scanned by a player we swapped it to a count down.

mossy flare
#

Got it, will remember this for the future.

#

Well bugger the slimy little shit made it out

#

We're all figuring it out. I hadn't thought about how to represent damage when we dont know the total health of a unit. So I had to come up with something 😄

rapid sorrel

#

Also makes a smoother transition between unknown and known hit max

Oh shit extra intel the frigate is trying to get to L-W2. Most likely location of bot orbitals

its also simply on the way to the western space nodes

We lost sight of the fighters. I think Atlas and Fluffle might have an incoming inconvenience

Didn't the fighters descend into the atmosphere?

fluid cave
#

The fighters near us

#

Not near you

ancient jolt
#

Ah... Well, we've got a rear-facing HMG, so we should be fine against stragglers.

#

It's also possible they were fleeing with the frig and simply outran it

gues we'll find out

solar ravine
mossy flare
#

We're not getting any more shots at it until we meet it on another tac-map

#

Hopefully L-W1

solar ravine
#

That is on W1.
We took a shortcut.

zealous palm
#

maybe, the two torb bombers, and our new bomber, and some of the fighters, might be allowed to chase if shack allowed them to land this turn, and reload, and kill it before it escapes to LW-2, we could also chase it into LW-2, but that runs the risk of running into more enemies.

solar ravine
#

Hm... LW-2 is the other side of the chokepoints.
We could give chase, but we'd be a tad out of position.

I think sending a fighter flight is enough to kill it

Is our only way of boarding enemy orbitals through docking? In this TF?

sinful latch

Cobalt can board disabled Orbitals with his HAT, but no, no boarding pods or VTOLS for boarding ops in the TF

#

That said, the Bots have Rippers

#

I wouldn't worry about going to them, they'll come to us

fluid cave
#

Our ships can dock with orbital that are disabled

#

I could maybe use an enemy flight deck to board. But that could be a suicide mission

sinful latch

I stand corected

Corrected even

Yeah, no suicide missions

glad flume
#

Ok so are we officially in W1 now and just waiting on more midround events, or not? I’m confused lol. Been busy all day

mossy flare
#

Midrounds aren't finished yet but considering no tac-map L-W1 is clear. We could maybe try to ask if we get another shot at the frigate

#

We'll know for sure Friday <t:1749592800:t> when all the tac-maps are released

zealous palm
#

Depending on range, like I said, shack might allow us to send the two torp bombers, and some of the fighters after it, if it's still on map retreating

#

After rounds are over, I can ask shack about it, if that's what they want to do

If we don't have to sortie its definitely worth striking before it can get to cover

fluid cave
#

Update:
According to midrounds we are at NW-L1.
There is no tactical map needed.
The frigate is heading the NW-L2

mossy flare
#

It's got to go through NW-L1 to get there though

#

So we should be allowed another strike on it no?

hard sleet
#

I think it is faster than us so by the time we reached L1 it was already at L2

mossy flare
#

No it had to go through Field Nav 1 to escape out of our range so by the time last round ended he was in L1 same as us. Which puts us in range for at least an aerospace strike.

#

It's only speed 2 and we're speed 1

fluid cave

# fluid cave

It’s the frigate from the Gate.
We encountered it at NW-L1. It is now running to NW-L2.
There’s a note below it about no Tac map needed.

#

Now we can go to NW-L2 and keep chasing it

stray moss
#

Just don’t get to far and end up encircled

mossy flare
#

Is that what happened? Well shit I feel like we could have sent more bombers out to finish the job if it went like that

#

I thought we were still catching it in the gate map with those 4 if we were already in L1 we should have been able to send al our aerospace to make sure it died

#

This happened because we lost the tac-map. So much was made unclear

fluid cave
#

Yeah

#

Pretty much

mossy flare
#

well we continue the hunt

zealous palm
#

Yah we can continue the chase, or send the flight of 4 fighters and 2 bombers that didn't chase and only landed to hunt it, the rest need to rearm this turn probably.

mossy flare
#

I think thy should be mostly rearmed? That's what most of the crew were doing last turn

fluid cave
#

We only have 2 unarmed aerospace assets

zealous palm
#

I'll have to bug shack, he might say that anything that chased last turn couldn't have rearmed.

fluid cave
#

Why not

#

Everything landed this turn

#

It can take off next turn

mossy flare
#

Well then we wasted our turn prepping the rearms

zealous palm
#

IDK why, it should have, but until shack gives a ruling we won't know.

#

We can always assume they did

mossy flare
#

I mean I'm fine with Shack having final ruling he's the GM, just hope that's not the case

zealous palm
#

Same, but we need to know either way

fluid cave
#

I would just say.
We plan to have some aerospace assets give chase.
The rest of Victorum’s aerospace assets takes off and is a bit ahead of fleet. Just so they might be able to attack and land T6.

zealous palm
#

Yah, the big question is if we chase into LW2, or hold in LW 1 and send the aero to chase as far as they can.

fluid cave
#

Why not push forward?

#

We know The mine is empty

#

NW-L2 is still a choke point

#

Then we can push further if we want

calm talon
#

L2 is a better point to hold I think. Still chokes the bottom route, and is only 2 jumps off from Ziyal

fluid cave
#

If we need to run from something nobody stays a chance anyways

amber dragon
#

I have a question: my order was to attack the enemy fighters and land at the end of my turn. But when Shack said that every fighter already attacked previous turn, that would mean I couldn't have attacked so I should still have my prime action to rearm myself

#

Or did I understand it wrong?

fluid cave
#

Unfortunately orders are intentions.
We rearmed as many as we could and only 2 aren’t rearmed.
We’ll get them rearmed next turn so they can fly off and attack with everyone.

amber dragon
amber dragon
mossy flare
#

L2 is better to hold if we can, a defence in depth is likely to be more effective, plus we give more space for friendly maneuvers

fluid cave
#

No matter what happens we go to L2 this turn.
If we want to move later we can.

zealous palm
#

I'm agreeing with chasing to LW2, we just need enough of a consensus. I'm doing my best not to dictate strategy, even though I am a strategist at heart lol.

cosmic ledge
#

LW2 seems like the best option that way we can move to support ziyal city if needed

mossy flare
#

Yeah good point

old hill
#

LW2 seem like a good point to get overwhelmed. That frigate is clearly running back to safety. if there is anything in LW2 it can quickly be reinforced by LA2 and the Wreckage Field.

fluid cave
#

If Victorum can’t kill the orbitals then no one can

#

The rest of the aerospace assets are too spread out for them to reasonably do anything

#

212th is the best reinforcement we can get

#

They’d add 3 mechs and 6 fighters.

#

We just wouldn’t have the capacity to rearm all of them

mossy flare
#

6 extra fighters? We could cycle them on the Aviary pretty well.

fluid cave
#

We only have 1 spare flight deck

#

Correction Space

#

So we’re at maximum if everyone is launching and landing at least per turn.

#

5 fighters or bombers are going to be out of the roster.

mossy flare
#

Well that's assuming we need to reload everyone in one turn. If we stagger the rearms we could manage in two turns

quasi crown
#

At the very least I think we should consider a sortie to scout

#

(Accessing via my phone)

rapid sorrel
#

The further we push, the more pressure we force onto the enemy, and that was the whole point of this TF

Ad astra

Per victorum

Ill make a poll can someone put a link to it in sheets

Charge of the Light Brigade

keen yacht
#

Primo Victoria!! “Through the gates of hell!!!”

calm talon
#

It might make sense to sortie fighters to make a loop through the western strat points. In the sense of "pop your nose in, see if there's any contacts, then immediate gtfo"

edgy harbor
#

Yeah, thought the same. Also to help us charge into the enemy faster/more effectively by knowing where exactly to charge in the first place

#

(As in knowing where the enemy is and perhaps also identifying a weak point in their formations such as say: unsuspecting transport convoy)

mossy flare
#

I think that's a good idea once we reach L2, we're slow though so we want to get into position as soon as possible.

edgy harbor
#

True enough, though perhaps then we can do both at the same time taking into account how slow we are? Move to L2 whilst also sending some scouts beyond to see what lies ahead of whatever is in L2

#

Personally, for scouting I'd recommend sending the smallest amount of agile units possible. Like a single fighter, that way they can pop in and if they encounter anything they should easily be able to get out of trouble

#

Bombers are better off doing sorties against targets whose AA capabilities we know about (a calculated risk is much better than an unknown one).
As such, it makes more sense for them to be either staying with the fleet to boost our ability to wreck the enemy once we enter direct engagement or simply have the bombers stay not too far behind the scouts so they can immediately drop their loads on any target we find.

#

Idk what areospace is planning in the end tho, but those are my suggestions

mossy flare
#

If we send a recon sortie is it allowed to check all the points for 1 LS?

edgy harbor
#

Idk, does it say in the rules?

calm talon
#

its allowed to stay out for 1 turn per LS committed

#

fighters are speed 7, so in theory if all the western strat points were empty (they are not), the fighters would be able to visit all of them

#

in reality they'll probably run into hostiles in the wreckage field, then turn around and go home

mossy flare
#

It's tough I like it, but it's very expensive when we could recon in force for free

edgy harbor
#

Idk if I'd call moving at speed 1 "recon"

#

Personally, i believe that having some intel is well worth the LS, especially if we find something critical to the bot effort or if we find their main space force.

calm talon
#

well the alternative is we assume that the wreckage field is hostile, and have the fighters sweep north around to the moon

edgy harbor
#

Is the moon hostile? I'm assuming the red tint on it means bot control

calm talon
#

it probably is

#

assuming fighters launch from LW2, they have just enough juice to get there, confirm enemy count, and leave

#

and make it back to the ships in one turn

edgy harbor
#

Would be cool if they introduced an upgrade for long range recon/sorties for fighters. Something like drop fuel tanks to extend the turns they can stay away whilst on sortie.

mossy flare
#

Yeah that sounds nice

fluid cave
mossy flare
#

Okay more good intel, bot orbitals have swarm launchers that can launch lrms or bots. With no ammo limit

edgy harbor
#

No ammo limit?

mossy flare
#

So anything identified with one needs to be a priority so it doesn't overload us

edgy harbor
mossy flare
#

They have manufacturing capability

fluid cave
#

They can just fire more than us.

mossy flare
#

Which suggests they have deep ammo reserves at least

edgy harbor
#

Still, highly concerning if true. Missile swarms ain't no joke

#

and if bots can just spawn a johntillion missiles each turn then we definitely gotta nuke em as fast as possible

mossy flare
#

Unclear if it's missile swarms or bot swarms but neither are good

edgy harbor
#

You can say that again

glad flume
#

That seems unfair…

Next set of orders is due tmrw, right?

coarse oxide
#

I say we chase the bot ship. All I’m concerned about is us running into a trap…

Honestly. We got the tonnage to definitely throw some heavy punches.
Im in the idea of we can definitely put up a longer fight

edgy harbor
#

We should think of our movements a little bit carefully, since the primo Victoria's slow speed means that not only do we take longer to get to a destination, but also that if we find ourselves in a bind we can't as easily disengage. Basically: we definitely should NOT go all the way to the bot's gate... for now at least.

fluid cave
#

We're commiting to NW-L2 right now.
Beyond that, it depends on what we find

coarse oxide

coarse oxide
edgy harbor
#

Yeah, but so long as we ain't Leroy Jenkins the gate without a plan then we should be fine. The line between cool and foolishness is a fine one. Safest option would be to stay at least two jumps away from the gate but where is the fun in that?

IMG_9069.png
#

Yellow line is meant to represent the area I feel is risky to go into (didn't mean to cover L-W2 with it so just pretend it ain't in that zone). Red is the bone bot zone.

mossy flare
#

I think if we don't get a contact in W2 we stake out A2 and send a recon sortie to locate the enemy

#

But I agree with your lines

edgy harbor
#

looks like two more battlecruisers

#

and that big fat one, could it be their version of a battleship?

north crown

hey guys see the new midround?

mossy flare
#

4 turns to get there though ..

north crown
#

or a cruiser

edgy harbor
#

i feel like its a bit too chonky for it to just be a cruiser

north crown
#

their BC's are chunkier then ours are

mossy flare
#

Scratch that we could make it in 3 turns.

#

Do we complete our nav point sweep or cover the orbits over the ground troops?

north crown
#

that looks like a fleet were gonna need to deal with

mossy flare
#

Coz venators hoping we provide them with cover for their push into ziyal

north crown
#

highly recommend we boost with an LS to catch up that amount of aerospace they could be carrying would seriously hurt any ground BG

lyric turret
#

Yeah that's alot of hurt.

north crown
#

do we wanna redo that vote with our new info?

lyric turret
#

We should ask Shack how long it would take to get there at best speed first.

fluid cave
#

I think we ignore it

north crown
#

we can boost to speed 2 but we need to be careful this is a diversion

fluid cave
#

They’re moving to Ziyal at worst

north crown

wheres HH again?

fluid cave

If we go to NL-W2 then we can split their forces

#

The less concentrated the better

edgy harbor
north crown
#

oh wait thats hill mine not leh dar

fluid cave
#

The more of their orbitals we can take out quickly the better

#

Fluffle can make sure they don’t turn around

I would assume they’re coming for us at 1 speed

lyric turret

That's on the other side of map I think senator to escorting venator.

fluid cave
#

We’re escorting Venator?

lyric turret
#

Well somewhat they are kinda following behind

calm talon

We're 3 jumps to Ziyal either way

NL-W2 gets us 2 away and is following the Frigate

#

If we get combat we can fight our way through

#midround-events message
Is that what a battleship looks like for em?

We’re assuming

If it’s 1 speed that’s better for us

New briefing dropped.

whats the plan for next turn?

Unknown as of this moment might continue on the Southside might go more central.

Kinda flying blind.

calm talon
#

If our BGs are going south mine > Z City it would make sense to go that way and take out those orbitals before they have a chance to cause trouble or combine with other fleets

lyric turret
#

How far can fighters deploy before being considered a sortie for scouting?

#

Same square?

calm talon
#

you have to stay on the same strat point

lyric turret

Dam really wish we had more than 3 fleets.

small cape
#

Don't take my word for it and I don't want to make rumors. But putting the image of the enemy battlecruiser signature from round 1... next to the two smaller enemy ships Fluffle found.

They look very identical.

and that new signature looks even bigger than them. That might be a battleship. But it is only a theorized opinion. I dunno how you all feel about it.

They are retreating to H-H, and the Tac-Com of Rabbit thinks they are heading to reinforce Cross Roads.

You’re not in our TF.

A large amount of rabbits forces are planning to land in crossroads from orbit, we've been intercepted by a few of the orbitals that we're protecting the gate

Beyond that. H-H is probably towards Ziyal and Victorum untametly

sage turtle
#

I was just told to ask you for help I believe

small cape
# fluid cave And?

The fear is if those 3 ships get there, Rabbit might get shot entering orbit without escort. They asked fluffle if we could, we haven't voted yet to see. But I don't think Fluffle could even last a round against them alone.

I suggested that Rabbit ask if you guys might be able to assist, as I didn't know your plans.

fluid cave
#

But rabbit can get to crossroads this turn?

#

It’s only 3 away from the mine

small cape
#

In the new mining dropship they can get to orbit, but not ground.

#

Rabbit is the Battlegroup.

Fluffle is the Taskforce.

fluid cave
#

I know

#

Rabbit can make it to crossroads and then drop the next turn

#

That bot TF is 1 or 2 speed

small cape
#

They are not at the mine, they are at the station.

fluid cave
#

If they’re 2 speed they can’t make it to crossroads until rabbit has the opportunity to drop

fluid cave
#

Let’s move this to rabbit

north crown
lyric turret
#

Can ground troops see orbitals in high orbit above their point?

fluid cave
#

No

lyric turret
#

Dam

#

Then I think we have to force the bots to come to our fleet by somewhat pushing towards bot gate. We dont have the speed to be chasing.

#

And we will slow down any allied landing forces except the slowest if we escort.

glad flume
#

Ok so what’s our plan? Chilling at W1 for someone to land at Mines or push to W2?

fluid cave
#

Good opportunity for a Poll

#

New poll since mid rounds are done.

calm talon
#

I propose an alt to option 4 - Go to Celldar Mine, so that we can either respond to Crossroads, or LS burn to Z-City, depending on where those bot ships show up

fluid cave
#

I will add that

#

This weekend is going to be slow stateside so make sure everyone can vote.

coarse oxide
#

I wish we had a bot to summarize text walls lol

#

I don’t believe there is any chance we’ll be able to catch the bots so we’ll probably have to QRF. Regardless if we go to NW-L1 or Celldar we’ll be 2 away from Ziyal.
Will we have anyone on standby to monitor NW-L1?

quasi crown
#

If we go to orbit my fear is them coming around the backside. My assumption is that bot TF is routing towards us

#

Id rather kill the things in reach and possibly fuck up their supply lines from the wreckage

rapid sorrel
#

Not to mention, if they push the front line too far, we can get a much clearer shot to the gate at the other end and blast it to bits

#

No more out of system reinforcements

astral tapir
#

I agree with blitzing in fast right now. But we need to know when to back off and regroup otherwise they will outmaneuver and overwhelm us as we need to assume they have more ships than us.

rapid sorrel
#

And if that frigate is leading us to their flag ship, we're the best equipped to fight it

quasi crown
#

Since its routing to HH I think its coming to support their backline units from being blasted

#

(The enemy tf in orbit)

rapid sorrel
#

As the great Star-Lord once said

"It's not a trap, if you know it's a trap. Then, it's a standoff."

astral tapir
#

Are we able to scan a sector to see if any hostiles are present? I know it says it needs a specific thing to look for but could it be used to see if any orbitals are in A2?

hard sleet
#

What’s our LS count at right now?

astral tapir
#

Should be 12, we only used 1 to rearm last turn.

mossy flare
north crown
#

I’m just worried about smaller lighter groups flanking us

hard sleet
#

That is the issue with only one air battle group.

rapid sorrel
#

If that happens, PV can break off first to turn around and protect the rear

hard sleet
#

So from what I am gathering so far. This turn is going to be slow and just us traveling to the next location.

violet wharf
#

Yeah

#

seems like it

#

So now that air is rearmed, we should launch and escort, right?

hard sleet
#

I guess so. We still need to see where we decide on going when the poll ends

#

Also. Is there any difference with having Aero deployed VS still in the hangers

tough jay
#

We don’t have a fuel thing so no, I think imma redeploy and screen the orbitals.

hard sleet
#

Sounds good. I think I will follow suit.

dusky dagger
#

regardless of weather or not we are going to LW2 are we still going to a unexplored nav location this turn?

mossy flare
#

Not guaranteed, some of the options are already explored

#

It's more down to do we continue on our previous plan or divert to cover the ground forces now there's enemies identified in high orbit

#

There's a significant fleet over hill mine and they're building something in Crossroads

hard sleet
#

@zinc spruce @timid zinc if I am reading orders correctly you are both landed and re armed. Any ideas for what we should do for this round. My first instinct is to redeploy and screen the fleet as we move into our next sector. But I want to know if you have any other ideas.

timid zinc
#

Not sure though

#

Like. I was flying and landing and restocking in one turn?

hard sleet
#

Flying just takes movement. Landing takes .5 movement and is considered a non main action. Re arming is considered a main action. As long as you didn’t shoot you are re armed.

#

I’m going to wait to hear from sadwolf and then put my order in.

halcyon spire

Anything important recently?

@gritty crystal @edgy lance I think everyone is rearmed except for 2 aerospace assets.
I’ll be rearming one of them.

Ok shack confirmed, all but out 2 selected aerospace units were reloaded, and I asked about the frigate, if we could strike it before it left, without chasing it

gritty basin
#

Am I supposed to have my Missile pods in the orders?

calm talon
#

afaik if you want to fire your missiles (which are not reloadable) you have to explicitly call it out and designate a target

gritty basin
#

oh ok

#

So I still have my missiles

cosmic ledge
#

I am planning on running the exodia port HMG for point defense let me know if there is another place you need me

zealous palm
#

Ok, by shacks orders, 1 action on a flight deck takes care of both units.

#

Just double checking that, that was his intentions, and theirs no miscommunication.

fluid cave
#

If that’s the case I’ll run the scanner then.

Just checking, you can still man guns without any enemies in sight, in case we do run into enemies on reaching a map, right?

Yes

It won’t shoot (use ammo) unless there is a target

Cool, I'll stay set up on my gun then

I’m gonna reload since we have one more round of supply I was really hoping to get a shot off this round

It looks like we're chasing into LW-2, with about 50% of the vote, and 31 total votes, I think that's most of us.

lyric turret

Yeah I think we should treat this round like we are coming out of the gate again ready to rumble.

I still have 2/3 shots so maybe I just man the guns unless someone has an action free to reload for me?

fluid cave
glad flume
#

I think taking and holding W2, then scouting wreckage field and maybe A2 would be a good plan. The other TFs can scout over the planet and make sure enemy TFs don’t go that direction. But I feel like Wreckage is probably a shipyard for the bots and that’s bad for us.

And is the vote still going or have we decided on a course of action? I’d like to get my orders in so I don’t forget lmao

What are aeros doing this turn? Sitting in flight decks or taking off?

I’d recommend you take off.
It costs nothing and would let you attack if we run into something.
Also then you could land if needed.
