You only need 1 person (aka yourself) to use a light freighter so we could just have a TF composed of 30+ freighters doing supply runs

thats why I tried to convince shack to create two Hull types. Combat Hulls and Non-Combat hulls. combat hulls could stay the same. and non combat hull would be ship that require minimal crew but are very squishy and can't take weapons.
silver widget
And 30 might be overkill, so you could have others be point defense and protect the convoy
snow python
so a BS equivelent would require maybe 3 crew instead of 7
silver widget
Say we got 30 players for this logi TF, I feel like you’d only really need 10-15 players running pure logistics and the rest could be delegated to larger combat ships to protect them.

Kinda wanna write a full ops plan in #meta-comm

I’d even sink most of my req points into a destroyer and make it logi focused for next campaign.
I can definitely find enough to kit that out.

Well they pointed out some good info
If we’re considering coloration of the map. It seems to indicate that the heaviest resistance is in the western side including hill mine given that its orange while the Ziyal is yellow and celldar mine is Green.
Don’t know what to consider good here
If we still drop Elim city.
We have to make a mad dash up and away into hill mines
I’m not sure if the goal of shack is for people to drop into celldar. Clear out ZIYAL then do a loop to attack Elim.
Or it could be the other way around
Alright night yall

I think the map colors are just there to be pretty. Also the bots came in on the east side of the map and were coming in west.... so i think we'll be okay

also, I think i figured out the crew issue for my heavy hauler. I think I can use HATs to meet the crew requirements to get into a campaign. once we're in all I technically need is my Capt to pilot the Hauler. so that mean I need to go for the 6 FlightDeck Variant.

Which would be awesome

Ok from the looks of things cargo holds 5 players and can't deploy any of them and each bay can hold and deploy 2. It would allow 7 more people to possibly ride in with just one orbital crew
But what does that even leave them to do when playing the game?
chilly bridge
Delivering supplies into orbit for HAT or VTOLs to pick up
warm hazel
Yeah but that is usually handled by the captain. I guess because the captain of a ship is less of a dictator for this game it allows them to have a vote on what the ship does
Still talking to one RN and they are interested in filling a role that isn't highly used. The pay from this mission will allow for true customization of something personal after the war

Req is rewarded to everyone upon campaign completion. How much you get generally comes down to if you make it out alive

I've been told this is a pretty backline BG to join.
I understand your AO is H-H, the Hill mine and I'm assuming Elim city if required?

ehhh we mostly need logi, which is kinda backline. but we will be the only BG defendning the Hill mine
should be a decent amount of action

We plan on hitting Hill Mine and maybe H-H if it seems feasible and then holding a defensive position. We may change course to helping take Elim if it comes to that but we don't know with our current intel.

Our assumption is that the bots will try to take the hill mine, so I wouldn’t classify us as a backline bg. At least we aren’t trying to be. Flying Shovels is the backline engineer bg

We are more hoping of denying and holding rather than frontal assault at the moment I believe.
