He doesn’t do it all in a night

astral nymph
#

He got a bit into Victorum, found out that their map was too low quality for him to see unit names, and asked them for a fix before logging to get dinner and chill.

Which fair

Nor everyone’s made can be as perfect as ours

Ah ok was a bit confused cuz he did all the bg spawns right after each other but that clears it up, thanks!

Shack got to here yesterday #1386030427130564769 message

#

Its just the order that the orders came in for him rather than organising it in some way

sand whale
#

Guidenue. Daily reminder to me to ask if we are able to deoy :D

silent glade
#

Depends how well our transports work,
They could be speed 1, 2 or speed 3.
If we roll better than a 1 then it could possibly be the next turn

dreamy glade
#

Hopefully man

#

Though we have engineers so we might be able to fix a 1 roll with engineers form the look of the midround event

#

Just hope that both battlegroups will have the same speed

lean notch
#

Looks like other BGs are walking mechs onto the hull to fire so surely our arty can fire too?

wintry swan
#

I believe there is a specific upgrade they take to allow that (magnetic clamps)

chilly bridge
#

Orbitals need the Mech Doors to allow Mechs to do that. I think they are able to maglock themselves onto hulls without upgrade

PH COME ON I MISSED IT WHILE READING HERE

#

Alright, ship ripped apart on entry. Engineers, to the engine bay. Lets see if we can't fix that leak.

#

#

Rough realspace transition y'all?

queen tendon
#

You guys broke it trying to jam
Open the doors to send artillery at the tormentor

astral nymph
#

Honestly, probably

#

When I saw everyone else getting 2 and 3, I knew it deep in my bones.

queen tendon
#

Someone has to get 4 though right?

#

Incorrect. Max is 3, it’s just rolling a d4

astral nymph
#

yeah we just rolled a 1 or maybe a 1 and 2

queen tendon
#

I think we can try to fix it though

astral nymph
#

Is it worth it at this point?

Guess it depends if were at Nav 1 this turn or stuck at the gate.

if we are at nav 1, even at speed 1, we'll be arriving at the elim city, provided that frigate is gone.

queen tendon
#

Twice you’re speed

#

Just better tbh

#

Though he did use the same name lmao

astral nymph
#

Hahahaha

queen tendon
#

Everyone point and laugh at the 1 speeders

#

🫵 😂

#

Or do we wing it with duck tape and sheet screws?

astral nymph
#

Good old ARMCO ingenuity! Engineering passion projects.

Duct tape, gorilla glue, and prayers!

night quarry
#

So, in orders, go and make one running down to fix it then even though not part of ships crew?

astral nymph
#

Possibly! We'll find out soon with more info, but might be a good idea.

night quarry
#

Okay.

astral nymph
#

I'm not sure it will matter though... If we make it Nav-1 this turn... we'll be over Elim next door and shooould be able to dock I think???

night quarry
#

Alright. All Engineers! Grab your tools and be ready for some percussive maintenance/repairs

if its 3 turns, then definitely... cause we'd want to be landing .... next wednesday

Oh dear god those VTOLS are on a hope and prayer

#midround-events message o shit storm got detected

It's going to get interesting!

#

But damn, we really lost two engines

vale geode
#

We lost one… darn what a champ.

chilly bridge
#

Luckily only one tbh.

vale geode
#

Yeah.

Also you think Infantry variants can eventually get upgrades to allow them to moon walk?

astral nymph
#

Mmm tasty

queen tendon
#

Who was in Egg?

chilly bridge
#

Noone.

#

It was an empty VTOL

#

luckily

astral nymph
#

No one, he was dedicated CAS with gun pods

#

that is why he was the front target too....

royal minnow
#

Wait, did a player VTOL get wiped out?

#

Egg?

chilly bridge
#

yep

royal minnow
#

Dang

astral nymph
#

They were the spear point with gun pods so.... I think I remember them stating their chances of survival were quite low

valid pecan
#

Orders needed this round from non engineers?

queen tendon
#

I’ll wait on answering that for sure until we have the final map. If we made it to nav point 1 it’s possible we could maybe get to the ground next turn. But that involves a lot of shit going right

#

We’d need the frigate to be cleared I think

valid pecan
#

Do you need to be crew to send transmissions across comms?

queen tendon
#

Mostly an rp thing so I don’t believe so

valid pecan
#

I kinda want to send an ad for grilled cheese at the bots. Just to try and cause .exe to reset for a moment.

astral nymph
#

Fun RP idea, but not one I would put on a tac com map submission.

valid pecan
#

Yea.. got done playing some DND last night. I'm still in that silly mindset.

astral nymph
#

we have to be a little limited with RP 'actions'. there are 500 players after all. Theres a place for it at times... I'm not sure sending a grilled cheese ad would count...

But totally RP it, thats sounds fun and now i'm hungry

valid pecan
#

If I ever do make an electronic warfare ship next campaign, I'm going to spam memes at the enemy.

astral nymph
#

that is a case where it might matter more lol yes

valid pecan
#

Omg I'm going to start now when orders open. My rp is just spamming ads for the food business run by an arty crew.

RIP Egg

silent glade
#

Welp, i guess we are slow boatin it xD

#

Maybe we can get some engies to try fixin the engines a bit

#

But might not be allowed

queen tendon
#

Shack mentioned something about it when Pathfinders got the first 1 speed

queen tendon

#

Interesting that logi group outruns combat group 🤣

#

Also we've taken much fewer casualties than expected in this space deployment phase

#

Only 1 unit down

queen tendon
#

Two

silent glade
#

combat has only just begun

queen tendon
#

Egg the VTOL and Angels the 4 FS infantry. Idk what they are

silent glade
#

angel is still up they have 2 more dudes

#

theyre just hard to see on the map xD

queen tendon
#

Bro I looked at that image like 6 times and only just now saw it

valid pecan
#

they're gonna need the arty support to take them down.

queen tendon
#

Unfortunately arty doesn’t remove armor which is what the bots have

#

Most likely

silent glade
#

im so glad we have 6 arty units for when we drop,
we dont rly know it could be defense but its probably armour

#

the description sounds like armour since they ignore cover and tank it all

queen tendon
#

Defense is cover based, which they definitely are not using lmao

#

Now if the ones at the mine are using cover and have armor. That’s a fucking different story

valid pecan
#

Then Funnel, push back

queen tendon
#

Absolutely

#

Also they can destroy any buildings factories the bots might have built

#

Most likely. Only bridges are listed but I would bet we could destroy important buildings too

#

Mark a second one down

silent glade
#

I feel my emoji is going to be well used soon

astral nymph
#

isnt he the tac com?

valid pecan
#

Can drop pods be shot down?

I’ve suddenly realized the unironic strongest part of rappelling ropes

How many player units are KIA right now? And from what BGs?

queen tendon
#

The starport is ours

#

Unfortunately the orbit is still very much contested 😅
Atleast the fighters will be distracted chasing the vtols

wintry swan
#

Elim City was quite the bloody battle

minor solar
#

Evening, how we doing ?

royal minnow
rich olive
#

So, should Dwarf Merchants go the same speed as Dwarf Fortress or are we just gonna gun it for the city and meet up there?

chilly bridge
#

They did rather well tbh

royal minnow
#

Yeah, but they got bled

#

They lost four units

minor solar
wintry swan
#

They traded well and secured the city

#

Still a much better hot drop than the last campaign

queen tendon
wintry swan
#

Assuming we're not stopping in Elim, merchants can make the hill mine in 2 turns while combat group will take 3

astral nymph
#

Well, keep in mind, there's TONS of other folks arriving too. I don't think it's the end of the world if we arrive turn 3.

Ultra is ALSO going speed 1 I think, so if the whole north group arrives at the same time a turn alter then everyone else... I don't think thats the end of the world.

(also what I was expecting anyhooper)

queen tendon
#

We have to stop in Elim to unload

wintry swan
astral nymph
#

This turn, no. WE're only going to make it to Nav-1 or perhaps entering Elim space (if we got the engines fixed). Plus the frigate is still there so

queen tendon
#

That will depend on if we are matching DF’s speed. We are assuming we are walking into combat at the mines so my vote is to stay together

#

I’m asking for clarifications but it sounds like we potentially could make DF go speed two and all deploy at Elim next turn

spice sparrow
silent glade
#

Also, it wont be great for the logi bg to arrive at the mine and find a substantial enemy force without the combat bg backup

#

Im expecting an enemy presence, perhaps not huge but they will be setting up factories and once we attack it i imagine it wont be long until their backup arrives

queen tendon
#

Technically DM could put actual orders in this turn but I would say we shouldn’t since Elim is still in combat and we don’t provide much help aside from the fighters

spice sparrow
#

Also I havent really been following coms. Just want to know if our plan is still to rush the mine and dig in

queen tendon
#

Yup. Nothings changed there

spice sparrow
#

roger, thanks

rich olive
queen tendon
#

I’ll also point out there is still the orbital and fighters above Elim so we’ll probably want someone to clear that first

astral nymph
#

Yep, if we can't spend some supply or roll to get the engine working then we're not arriving this turn anyways.

EVEN IF we were speed 2, I am not sure we'd land because of that Orbital, as Axx says.

#

Only the speed 3 folks that are going to be landing this next turn ~Poi.

silent glade
#

maybe we can fix the engines real good xD

queen tendon
#

I think that if the orbital is cleared and we have two speed we can deploy. But that’s a matter of a shack ruling. Which I’ll wait to ask until he answers the first round of questions lmao

wintry swan
#

Clearing the orbital will depend on Fluffle I think

queen tendon
#

True

#

My personal vote is to match speed with the DF transport

silent glade
astral nymph
#

On the plus side, when we do arrive, it should be a fairly straight forward march north.

lean notch
#

wow the strom blessed had it rough

warm hazel
#

Bahaha I missed a ton

#

Looks like we have a patch for Merchants

silent glade
#

oh we do?

royal minnow
#

Merchants are coming in with a speed of 2

#

Fortress is at Speed 1

#

So we logi's will be getting on the ground first

silent glade
warm hazel
#

God I want a full image I only saw a low rez from the map

warm hazel
silent glade

#

Also seems like we are speed 1 and 2 for Fortress and Merchants

So we likely at least wanna get fortress up to 2

jovial crypt
#

considering the slaughter inbound on Elim im grateful we are going last

wintry swan
#

Yeah still lots of unknown bogeys on that map

warm hazel
#

Getting all our arty setup in the center might not be a bad idea as our logi group is landing first

#

Ah dammit we are supposed to be separated from them. Wonder how the arty is hitched to my truck all the way in the speed 1 ship

#

Bahaha maybe we just hitch the slower ship up

spice sparrow
warm hazel
#

I'd also rather move with ya until the ship is tuned up to 2

astral nymph
#

Lets jsut either move at speed 1 or speed 2 together. Ultra is also at 1 and they are working with us. Better if the whole northern group is together imho.

silver widget
#

While we might be separate BGs officially, we are technically one giant BG, so I think we should stick together even if we can't fix our engines to go speed 2

quaint ember
#

So logi is dwarf merchant huh?

#

I can't help main bg then

hybrid hazel
#

hmmm

#

do we, take a slight detour?

modest pagoda
#

Potentially?

hybrid hazel
#

like, we plan to speed run the mines but, what could we find here?

proper plank
#

Df Ultra and Pathfinder are the only one slow enough to take it

modest pagoda
#

True

hybrid hazel
#

DF is stuck at speed 1 in transport

#

we could go for it

quaint ember
#

Let's detour

proper plank
#

Honestly I'd say it is better for ultra or Pathfinder. DF is such a big gun focused BG meant for assault and defense in depth with an objective to secure a vital bot reinforcement point. It could be a waste of fire power and cause chaos later if we went there and delayed securing a bot factory.

quaint ember
#

Wait I'm bg 14

#

Dwarf merchant rip

hybrid hazel
#

we should put it up to vote. Though Merchants can't since they have 2 speed

modest pagoda
#

Dwarf merchants have speed

hybrid hazel
#

arty in tunnels would be funny

modest pagoda
#

It would

hybrid hazel
#

someone should go for it. god knows whats in there

proper plank
#

Also merchants are stuck with nothing to do if we don't mozy along to our objective

modest pagoda
#

Indeed

hybrid hazel
#

but, what if its something really cool?

#

like, a really shiny rock?

#

or a lot of booze?

#

we don't even know if enemies are there. if it isn't its free stuff

quaint ember
#

Shiny rock is funi

#

Maybe ask shack? Cus merchant is a support group for dwarf

proper plank
#

I'd say Ultra is the best pick. Their comp is better suited to fighting in an astroid station if they have to fight.

Plus they can bring us the shiny rocks and booze they find later😜

valid pecan
#

Just let them know we get first dibs on any specialty arty shells.

proper plank
#

Also I have not seen anyone else mention that this bot frigate retreated to field nav 1 and then to another location so there is a chance we might have it on a battle map as all out BGs move through field nav 1

#

The BGs with a speed of 3 might be able to outrun the battered thing

valid pecan
#

My vote is indifferent. I'm good with the detour and keeping on course.

proper plank
valid pecan
#

I'd be happy with some smoke or canister shot.

warm hazel
#

Good ol grape shot

valid pecan
#

or rocket assisted rounds for more range

willow lantern
#

about that detour, I think we should leave to the others since we're such a big BG

valid pecan
#

however if no one claims it we must.

#

have the others confirmed on taking it?

snow python
#

its a giant rock. and it hollow. my need to dig calls

willow lantern
snow python
#

should we create a poll?

astral nymph
#

WE can create a poll.... IF Ultra or Pathfinder want to go for it, then we let them.

If neither go for it, we definitely go for it.

BUT

Were too big to do it realistically... we are the force taking the north....

Ultra should do it. I'm asking

snow python
#

so the poll should be. "if needed. should we take the big hunk of floaty stone?"

valid pecan
#
  1. we go period
  2. we go if no one else does
  3. we don't go period
  4. abstain
#

Those options sound about right?

snow python
#

i saw button, so I pushed. and yea I think that should do it

astral nymph
#

Southpaw's also running a poll for Pathfinders. It's 5 votes to go to 0, so I think they got it

#

Ultra is also voting on it so, we def dont need to go

#

(That’s a dummy by the way, don’t worry)

#

Swedish classic.

It would probably be a bad idea if we ended up going, most of our force is mechanised/armoured and probably wouldnt do well in what sounds like a CQC situation

#

We should not go for the side objective. Our primary focus, for both Dwarf groups, should remain securing and defending the Hill Fort. If we get there early, we should use that advantage to focus on entrenchment and fortification. Anything else is only a distraction. Besides, it's not as if only the BG that goes to the objective benefits from whatever cache they may find. If it's an upgrade option, it will be available to all ARMCO. Same if it's intel

#

Also why is our logo a dwarf carrying toilet paper 😭

at this stage just get me in position to start nailing to bot back to where every they got manufatured from

can we ask a taskforce to escort us? If It finds us it's an entire BG gone

chilly bridge

#

Could we just load up the VTOLs to take the listening post so we dont slow down the rest of the BGs arrival?

royal minnow
#

Will it fall to us to see to this side objective?

#

Actually, I'm with the Merchants, I wouldn't be able to help, huh?

lean notch
#

Our ship is reduced to speed 1 and I think is the only one that has a large air wing ?

snow python

do we have a name for our Freighter?

awesome

#

How does the HAT and fighter deployment work BTW

#

Do we just start in the air when we arrive at the spaceport or is the spaceport also an airfield?

snow python
#

that is a good question

steady island
#

than there’s the question of casualties

#

how many will we take in retaking the listening post?

#

can we use our artillery while on the station? our tanks? our mechs?

#

every no will limit what we can deploy and probably increase casualties more

warm hazel
#

So for the side obj, is merchants not able to follow because of them having speed 2?

steady island
#

frankly there’s no benefit for us in going to retake the listening post as we are a combined arms BG.

steady island
steady island
steady island
warm hazel
#

I saw that, hence the worry for splitting DF off to go do that

steady island
#

as i said it’s for speed 1 only, we don’t know how much of our forces we can deploy as a combined arms BG and weren’t infantry focused and it would leave the merchants virtually defenseless

#

we also are hauling basically 50% of the artillery for this operation

#

one of the other BGs need to go as we are ill suited for the task

warm hazel
#

Yup it would unhitch all the arty

#

Cept 2

steady island
#

at the same time i understand the frustration it might cause for no one to go see what unspecified technology was at the station but it needs to be a better suited BG than ours

warm hazel
#

Yep that ain't our job

#

Besides it is optional

#

I mean

#

What is the woooorst that can happen

steady island
#

bots find it and get a targeting/range upgrade? maybe the unspecified tech is a hidden factory

proper plank
#

Still say Ultra would probably be the best for the job. They are big enough to be able to deal with a threat if they need to fight and a large portion of their force is infantry and light mechs. With like 7 inf, 2 med, 2 eng, and 8 LM they are perfect for seizing a station.

#

While us not taking the mines asap can have extremely negative conquences for the entire op. Storm lost 4 units this one turn to bot reinforcements and our objective is to take the bot factory and stop them from being able to make more reinforcements after all.

steady island
#

but yea, it’s an unnecessary risk for DF because we are ill suited and…

sand whale
#

We rolled a 1 oof. Is there any orders I can submit currently?

steady island
#

well looks like ultra is thinking about going after it #meta-comm message

Three certainties in life. Death, taxes, and that dwarf fortress will have some peak RP posts.

#

So Shack said that descending is normal. Aka we need 2.5 speed to land next turn. So no orders needed. But assuming that DF is able to fix their engines. We should be good to land the turn after

dreamy glade
#

Is it clear how the disembarking will work for HAT'S and fighters yet?

You’re in the transport, so I think you’ll need to take off like it’s a flight bay on an orbital

Sorry about the engines btw...

Eh, grilled cheese is worth it

It is what it is. It just means we arrive when originally scheduled and not ahead of schedule. Nothing lost, nothing gained.

chilly bridge
#

Hmmm... We could go for Cell'Dar Mine

astral nymph
#

Nah, that was Spearhead I think who was going there already. This just helps them

chilly bridge
#

Fair xD

#

Is anyone now moving towards the first optional job?

astral nymph
#

Both Ultra and Path seem to be

chilly bridge
#

Good

#

Would hate for an optional target to just be ignored

wintry swan
#

There's also a chance to fix the dwarf fort engines for faster speed so we can try that

I wasnt pinged when the mission orders got live... What do i post in the thing? How close are we to release? Are there problems with me not previously posting?

Okay good

Yeah that

we're still vibing in auto transports

As are most of the other groups

#

Ok cool i was worried i missed everything

queen tendon
#

Speaking of, @silent glade I was thinking about it. I’m assuming you guys will be trying to repair your transport. If so, you should out your map in first and then I can submit mine saying “we go the same speed as the other group”

does it cost supplies? what kind of action is it?

also this would repair the entire BG's space transport right?

queen tendon
#

@silent glade you good if they submit an order late?

queen tendon
honest quail
#

im confused

queen tendon
#

We TCOs can accept late orders if we want, just try not to for our own sanity. But seeing how we’ve got nothing going on, I’m assuming he’ll be fine with it lmao

honest quail
#

I thought it would fix the speed of the big ship the BG is supposed to be in

honest quail
queen tendon
honest quail
#

oh so this is just an RP thing to help pathfinder's ship

queen tendon
#

It’s a real thing but since we’re in the transport still it’s not like a thing in the rule book

#

Well it would be for our ship since you guys are speed 1 as well

#

He just only mentioned it there

#

Sorry if I’m being confusing

honest quail
#

so, to be clear

#

this improves the speed (presumably from 1 to 2) of OUR battlegroup's requisitioned space transport if I make the dice roll

#

sorry im very tired

queen tendon
#

Correct

#

You got it

honest quail
#

and should I put this order in now (and if I do it now, should I delete my old hold order) or next turn

queen tendon
#

Delete your old order and send a new one

honest quail
#

alrighty

royal minnow
#

Huyh?

#

Mission Orders are closed for this turn already?

queen tendon
#

Yeah but it’s just rp

#

Once we need actual orders, we’ll notify people

#

We won’t just say nothing, we’ll ping

royal minnow
#

Aw

You can always put in an rp post here or in meta-com.

I imagine we'll be stuck at speed 1. Kick back and enjoy the ride.

I feel like doing RP in here and meta-comm is pretty hard tho

Because people have normal conversations in there

It is. I'm archiving mine this time around.

We're going to be landing towards the start or midway through my vacation so... I'm kinda glad were slowboating it, cause it means I won't miss the action..... THough I am aware that is very selfish 😦 sorry.

# astral nymph WE RIDE!

So does deploying from the transport use up all our BG's speed. Or can our BG still use its 2-3 land speed to leave the city and get to the mine this round after the transport uses its 1 speed to get us to the port and drop us off? Because all our logistics planning show very much that our BG once on the ground can move very fast, and with the mine only one space away we could theoretically easily get there even if we have to use 1 speed to disembark our transport/cross and exit the city.

astral nymph
#

Unclear. Imma just say moving with formation towads Hill Mine

no tac map needed

so no movement after we deploy

so north east break through then? head straight to the hill mine

silent glade

we are heading NE, Hill Mine is the destination,
Elim city is almost completely clear now so shack said it wont have a map next turn,
so hopefully, we will get to do our move off to Hill Mine as well as land but either way we will start the process

that would be fine usualy, but, as all the enemy units have been dealt with here we can all just use our movement to travel directly to the mine after landing

if there's somewhere you would like to be as we go, (such as up ahead of our column scouting), then thats what you would tell me in the order
and i will put those together and post a pic in here when i have more of an idea what everyone's doing together of what our formation will be as we enter the next map

Lotta cover there. I'm assuming we are entering from the south, but I guess Shak will let us know at the time

#

I notice there is nothing that looks like an airfield though.... Really making me wanna double up on making a support carrier for a BG...

I reiterate my statement.

#

Oh for sure. I was just piling onto it

It probably is just the base camp and it extends below 'ooff map' 😄

#

we'll know when we get their 😮

#

but yeah no... really feeling like there is a niche for a BG support carrier

#

More than a niche, a need. At least in my opinion because it would invaluable to whatever BG it’s attached to

Quick question about range, is the range directly tied to how many spaces it can shoot or is it a rating? For example, artillery has a range of 4, is that 4 hexagons? Because if that’s the case, that seems awfully short for artillery.

astral nymph
#

4 hexagons

#

tbf, that can hit the entire map basically

#

I guess it’s probably the best middle ground when it comes to being realistic and keeping the unit balanced

#

Because make it too short, and the unit can no longer function as intended, but make it too long and the unit becomes effectively unkillable, so now that I think about it, the range is fine.

steady island
#

well the map is small so i imagine that helps it’s not like the map is a 15 by 15 hexagon or more

astral nymph
#

Yeah, maps in C2 almost broke Photoshop. We pushed that program to the limit, so this is more manageable

So question. If I were to make an RP for the BG on RPNation. how many would be interested?

valid pecan
#

I've never used it before.

astral nymph
#

I think I used it when I was in middle school 20 years ago, or something similar

valid pecan
#

This campaign is the first RP thing I've done on this scale, with this many people. I've done dnd plenty, but this is very different feeling.

astral nymph
#

It is really different. THough on a small scale, I bet you can have a really fun RP thing with this rules set too

snow python
#

20 years ago was Gaia online for me.

#

only reason why im recommending RPNation is because there is no RP section here.

Good morning Dwarves

As people funnel in, feel free to let them know that orders are finally necessary. But because no map for Elim City is necessary for next round we don't need specific movement. We are just collecting who is carrying who and our marching order this turn. Orders are due at <t:1751839200:f> (localized timestamp)

warm hazel
#

We will get to the mine this turn but not have the speed to do a 'defend' option just yet right?

queen tendon
#

nope we go to the mine next turn

#

expecting to immediately be in combat tbh

astral nymph
#

Turn tracker updated on the sheet for all posted turns. I'll get mine in later tonight or tomorrow.

queen tendon
#

Wishing me luck I didn't fuck something up

warm hazel
#

Oh god all the infantry are dead!

#

Ahah it looks great from my pov

queen tendon
#

@dim vortex I have you marked down as part of the logi bg, you'll need to resubmit your orders in #1385617719466135714

dim vortex
#

Copy that

#

Last I heard where I was was up for question but I didn't hear a final answer on it

#

It'll get easier for me to follow once we get a map

#

thank ya

queen tendon
#

sorry about that

#

but yeah, next orders are the big one

honest quail
#

btw crazy im writing the RP for my order

#

are we still in the asteroid field and just loading up?

#

or are we deploying over elim

queen tendon
#

we will be landing at elim and loading up this turn

honest quail
#

ok

honest quail
queen tendon
#

currently yes, our group action this turn is unloading

#

So its finally time (kinda). Orders are required this turn. This turn we are landing and officializing who is carrying who. There will be no independent movement this turn since Elim City is under our control. That said, the next turn will be our big one where we move to the hill mine. You have until <t:1751839200:f> to submit your orders. I will begin pinging people just as a reminder

@dry wraith @minor solar @jovial crypt @polar shore @hybrid hazel

#

Did we uh

#

oh

#

I should read

#

so 1, Nalla almost didn't tell me about this

#

can't believe they'd do this to me

#

and uh, 2. So is my turn just "off-loading off of unknown transport"

quaint ember
fading dune
#

Mine is labled as walking, because LM

#

but I guess I"m asking if we've landed on the planet yet

#

or if i need to actually get on some sort of Logi vehicle to hit the surface

queen tendon
fading dune
#

just got caught up

#

so okay, an advanced force cleared up a star port for the landing

#

so we can just land on the planet and begin our march to the mine on schedule

Do Dwarf Merchants need to do orders as well and what if we are unable to carry or be carried (I am an aerospace fighter)?
