I mean, if they're really using otter nervous systems for processing, maybe they'd enjoy a nice lie-down

gloomy merlin
#

I think the earlier we turn on the listening post, the better. It may be possible to scan different targets each turn, which will allow us to get a better view of the entire battle.

minor ibex
#

Now that I know what you're looking for. No thanks. =w=

Besides, I was refering that the job itself of stick around would be a b-word idea. Not that it was going to be b-word situation.

sterile basalt
minor ibex
#

Absolutely. I'll take comfy cozy over anything else. =w= loafs up on a plush pillow

gloomy merlin
#

My gut is saying the sooner the better. Give the folks on the ground a better chance of seeing the whole battlefield

minor ibex

#

If you turn it on this round, Ultra will still be in house. If bots come screaming in, we stay to help defend!

minor ibex
hybrid sable
#

I think it's reasonable to try for this round, if Ultra will promise to stick around for 2 rounds after to set up our sandbags

sage frigate
#

Theoretically, Victoria is still around to stop any inbound space forces anyways

gloomy merlin
#

We MAY get antsy...

sterile basalt
minor ibex
sage frigate
#

And heck, if we act as a large burning "please turn our brains into machines" sign, we could also use Victoria to destroy the enemy forces.

hybrid sable
#

Wouldn't blame you, Kerr. but pwease?

gloomy merlin
#

Sean may ask for a support companion.... just sayin.

sterile basalt
sage frigate
#

Actually, wait

hybrid sable
#

How about... how about we wait for three or four rounds before we broadcast that? How about that?

sage frigate
#

Wouldn't that be an idea. Lure the space bot armada into the area,then nuke them

gloomy merlin
#

yeah, lets make sure its ready to fire before we warn people....

sage frigate
#

Also ya, we don't know the nuke can do what's currently advertised. For all we know, it actually stands for "Not Using Kinetic Energy."

minor ibex
#

Also it's not the nuke, it's the nUwUke.

sterile basalt
#

We don’t even know if it is a nuke

gloomy merlin
#

Shack already stated it is 400 lbs of Federal pamphlets.....

hybrid sable
#

Never Underestimate Westwing's Ultimate Karaoke Extravaganza

sage frigate
#

Yee, so that's an additional objective for us, then. Checking the LRSM and unlocking it.

minor ibex
sage frigate
#

In addition to making sure the bots don't activate on us, changing their IFF, switching on the power, and going upstairs to check what the unknown is.

hybrid sable
#

Only one way to find out!

gloomy merlin
hybrid sable
sterile basalt
#

I’d like to imagine the nUwUke just one big part with karaoke.

minor ibex
sage frigate
#

Ah, my bad, assumed account was downstairs

minor ibex
hybrid sable
#

So: one turn of bringing the scanning station fully online (hopefully), then two turns of preparing defensive positions with Ultra? Probably call 212 the next turn to restock our supplies?

And I'll take an extra moment to push my assessment that proper sandbags will take two turns and 13-17 supply to set up before we even get to minefields or razor wire, so we should plan on using all of them and just rely on next-day delivery from the 212th logistics division

minor ibex
#

I still advocate for defense first, push button second.^^;

hybrid sable
#

-# but it's such a pretty button! 🥺

minor ibex
sage frigate
#

Ya, we currently haven't actually turned the federation droids to our side yet. That, and the reactor needs to be connected first.

minor ibex
#

All easy task to do. =w=

tropic cedar
hushed eagle
#

Tbh this is the most interesting channel rn

dense wind
#

How many nukes do we have, or is it just one?

hushed eagle
#

Well, unless there’s some in a storage depot 1

#

It looks like your classic cruise missile silo tbh

minor ibex
hushed eagle
#

ISBM?

#

Inter-system ballistic missile

#

Or are we gonna call it a LRBM

dense wind
#

Copy that, that leaves the option of holding one back for selfdefense

minor ibex
#

Well the official text says "Long-Ranger Ballistic Missile." But ISBM sounds about right as well. =w=

dense wind
hushed eagle
#

;w;
I don’t write the script I write what I think

#

Anyway it’s nice to see no fed drones are trying to murder ya rn

gloomy merlin
#

diplomacy. works sometimes.

hushed eagle
#

That’s not… diplomacy

gloomy merlin
#

the security drones arent trying to kill us.... so I call that successful diplomacy 😄

hushed eagle
#

I call that successful break-in

gloomy merlin
#

And they are under our (Pathfinders) control.

hushed eagle
#

And then assuming logic you power it up and as they’re all linked to the system you either change the iffs so they deem you friendly or that they just assume you’re the feds

#

But I think Shack skips the final part and just does eh

gloomy merlin
hushed eagle
#

You snuck into a powered down base and didn’t proclaim any hostilities towards the local defence units

gloomy merlin
#

I think Pathfinders jury-riggin the lift made it possible

#

Pathfinders take the credit. Ultra was just there for security.

hushed eagle
#

Actually Account was the guy who found the way to pacify the bots

#

They found the bot control office

#

the lift just takes ya into the site, it has no correlation to the actual security system

minor ibex
#

No, they just found the maintenance room. I imagine the Control Room is where the actual controls for the facility and the bots are.

gloomy merlin
#

Account is part of Pathfinders. So, their success.

hushed eagle
#

True, but it’s a starting point

#

Anyway I haven’t gotten to a tunnel yet, so stay happy

minor ibex
#

Squee. =w=

torpid herald
#

In the unlikely event that we hold here and get overwhelmed, would it be too early to volunteer to have Hardshell be the ones to stay behind and hit the Big Red Button while everyone else runs?

hushed eagle
#

The big red button as self destruct?

#

Or as missile launch

torpid herald
#

Self destruct.

#

Just so the enemy doesn't get it

hushed eagle
#

Fair

#

The feds may dislike such an ending, but they did abandon it

torpid herald
#

They already abandoned it, they won't care, lol

minor ibex
#

Let's hope it doesn't come to that, and prepare for any eventuality to make sure we all get home alive.

... But we'll take your volunteering into consideration. =w=

torpid herald
#

"We're just clones machines sir. We are expendable"

hushed eagle
#

I disagree

minor ibex
#

Oh don't give me that Star Wars Clone Wars emotional bullsqueak! My heart can't take it~! cries

torpid herald
#

Imagine it being a group of B-1s and grievous instead of clones and Plo, and its funny. Because Grevious would just slap one off into space and say "Of course you are, fools!"

minor ibex
#

I still love the B-1 droids. They're adorable. =w=

Good thing we're the good guys, and even Southpaw is not so cruel as to not care about life, even artificial ones.

torpid herald
#

-# I sympathized way too hard with the B1s

hushed eagle
#

Tbh this is why I have 1 person who makes robots

#

As my entire company

#

I love the Titanfall bots too much, even if they’re just mindless automatons most of the time

torpid herald
#

True. That's why my squad is bots with one very overworked engineer

hushed eagle
#

Rip that poor engineer

torpid herald
#

Technically my squad isn't even supposed to be here. They just showed up in a depot one day with orders putting Enzo as their caretaker

hushed eagle
#

Tbh I didn’t realise anyone had a similar format to my unit

#

I have 3 sentinels (robots) and my commander Do’malrion (mal for short)

torpid herald
#

Mine are closer to metallic ant-lions with guns, with intelligence somewhere a bit above dogs. Semi-autonomous, as they get their commands from Enzo, but do it themselves

#

And Enzo isn't on the battlefield

hushed eagle
#

Mine are a bit more… sentient

#

My NCO (technically LtCdr I’d say is a fully sentient robot), the others have different degrees of sentience

torpid herald
#

Smart enough to be dangerous, dumb enough to be cute

hushed eagle
#

Kinda

torpid herald
#

Oh. So you have like a t-300 with t-100s under it?

hushed eagle
#

I guess ya could say that

#

In terms of the campaign I only have 3 bots on hand

#

But in story I have a lot more

torpid herald
#

Well hopefully yours dont start reformatting mine, lol. They might start asking questions and need actual motivation

hushed eagle
#

Lel

#

Basically sentience with my units kinda come with rank

#

The higher your command position the increased sentience and strategic insight ya get

sterile basalt
torpid herald
#

That sounds so familiar, but i dont know where I've heard that premise before. Maybe another OC from a while back

hushed eagle
#

I mean if ya get demoted you’re probably gonna get a factory reset (or have your personal drive removed)

#

Tbh I haven’t spoken to mostly anyone else about style of units

#

The last time I might’ve mentioned this was like November ish time

torpid herald
#

I love lore and world building, as do a good number of people here

hushed eagle
#

So I have no clue whatever people have

#

Yeah

sterile basalt
hushed eagle
#

I mean mine ain’t even on a word doc

#

It’s in a discord server somewhere, where South’s link also originally was

#

But eh I doubt I have the permission to divulge any more info

#

Bout it then that

minor ibex
#

Technically I started "lore-docing" the muitmals before joining the RP group, and had a link made in meta-comms. It all just started to spiral from there.^^;

hushed eagle
#

Yup

#

I shoved mine in a private server as I had no real clue how to make a public doc

#

So once I joined I just had a channel made and shoved a lot of it into there

torpid herald
#

Spiral UP!

sterile basalt
hushed eagle
#

I mean if ya want the info I could provide it if Southpaw doesn’t want me to full the channel with useless info

minor ibex
hushed eagle
#

Although knowing logic Southpaw may become even more of a downer when they realise I still have the comms network -_-”

minor ibex
hushed eagle
#

Really>

torpid herald
#

I have so many little OC cultures and species in long forgotten text documents...

sterile basalt
hushed eagle
#

Tbh I don’t design OCs much

I just need motivation to do stuff

#

I ain’t really a motivated person

minor ibex

That I’d save the data to annoy you?

Here we go…

L’ak Z’al D’alac - The Guardian Overwatch
-# Additional information is within threads

From the world of Valim’ako an encumenopolis which focuses the majority of itself onto the manufacture of civilian and military equipment for paramilitary companies and mercenaries among the stars. It has been decidedly developed to contain a mass of research facilities surrounding the power plants built on the Northern pole, which unusually for planets have had an unnatural deformity where there is a high concentration of lava, which allowed for major research and power plants to be made in the northern pole.
Whilst in the southern because of the unnatural nature it is prematurely cold, allowing for better creation of factories in such an area to produce the goods sold, it is divided into regions based on what is produced and for what purpose to try and facilitate for easy transfer and logistics between its many transit ways which span across the entire planet.
The majority of the central area, is deemed suitable for living in and as such has been adapted by the foundation of major hab-blocks to sustain the lives of hundreds of thousands. Further along the way where there is a lack of these blocks can be seen the massive artificially developed parks which span usually 5 kilometres, but are sparse and usually seen between the many different distinct hab-block areas.
Alongside such additions can be seen multiple orbital landing bays, used for the distinct landing and usage of inter-planetary travel. This is where the majority of import of raw materials land as well as the export of goods.
It was later discovered by the 2nd head scientist alongside the environment planners that it was due to the unique shape of the oceans, which the sprawling encumenopolis was built around, to prevent much risk of contaminating the water on the planet whilst creating a more luxurious or desired view of the ocean, which could be seen from the hab-block style apartment structure.

#

This is where Do’malrion was born, they were desensitised at a young age by the death of their father in an ‘accident’, such an accident was common by the standard and then they and their mother went to an upcoming mining colony on one of the nearby moons, as Do’malrion was an experienced creator of AIs at the age of 14, and had already developed their first AI O-1-0, a basic program to try and symbolise a worker bot to assist in the mining efforts on the rock, especially with the uncovering of unique crystals on the planet, which were seen as an anomaly but was never fully understood, all what was known was that the crystals were overall lethal to organisms in proximity and has led to the death of even the most environmentally protected.
It was even able to break O-1-0 upon contact with the crystal in its proximity, thus afterwards the mining of such crystals has halted and has been believed to not have recommenced ever since.

#

A while after, Do’malrion left their mother, who never remarried, and decided to try their chances at being a mercenary amongst the stars, meeting up with ARMCO for their talent at the construction of AIs and being able to use them efficiently
Although not much is known between these events, it has been pieced together that an event occurred to pressure them into leaving their home, the AI they took with them to join ARMCO was nicknamed Zle-0-9
Do’malrion has been building new robots and providing them training/programming as these are not hardwired into the constructs, except having one deemed as a ‘backup’ in their small area, hidden away in a little crevice aboard the <019273910>, as these constructs adapt and gain experience through usage of equipment, but have the basics known to them and have been seen as quick learners alongside their leader, Do’malrion and their second in command, Zle-0-9.
Also has been noted that although Do’malrion is very skilled and talented, it has been discovered by some background research they never really graduated from education, being self-taught ever since leaving for the mining world they and their mother went to

#

It has also been noted that Do’malrion has learned little English (whatever is the dominant language is in ARMCO), and their unique dialect, involving the movement between 2 places with different usage of words has led to a personalised dialect, which it seems only the AIs made by them understand, the only saving grace is that although the robots do not speak English, they can transfer messages in code, which is easier to decipher than work out what the hell their leader is saying
This also seems to be Do’malrion’s preferred way to communicate to others, when they deem their usage of English, is insufficient to convey what they are trying to get across
Note: the dialect is unique, and can also be partly attributed that it is also personalised, making it in its own form, a unique language, which as stated, no one can understand fully. Attempts to further emphasise their studies has been ignored and denied, so it seems, they know the basics of how to communicate with us, but seem unwilling to dedicate further effort than they have already exerted, preferring to study on sciences alongside engineering and technology, making them a useful, yet irritating freelance mercenary leader

And that’s all I’m posting since the rest describes ships n dat

#

Not really lore

#

Btw this is old stuff I wrote, if there seems to be an issue tell me and I’ll look into it all

sterile basalt
#

Seems like a pretty cool backstory.

hushed eagle
#

Thanks

#

The rest as I said isn’t lore, it is more of storyline before ships and other stuff, which isn’t correlated to any personal lore of my character

torpid herald
#

I really like that. It resembles elements of 40k and C&C Tiberium timeline with your own personal flavor

minor ibex
# hushed eagle To talk to you whenever I want

Well it'd be hard to pull off when you're using the official ARMCO channels the companies uses all the time anyway, and the 9 Tails filters those out for their own secure channels amongst their units when not in collaboration with anyone else.

I didn’t even know you had someone called Sage

I am just now understanding the 'save the data' comment. I got unlimited

minor ibex
hushed eagle
#

it’s fine fluffy boi
:p

#

Also Southpaw being real your mutimal support programme (or was it mutalett) may’ve been a bad idea due to how many people may want it

minor ibex
#

It's meant to be a minimal novelty anyway. I don't need to do much other than provide names and a small backstories for each mutalett a company has. =w=

hushed eagle
#

Fair

#

Anyway French gave Warmongerer (I thought it was Warmonger) a toy hammer

minor ibex
#

Oh no...^^;

hushed eagle
#

I think the other 3 in the tank are sharing the real hammer

sterile basalt
hushed eagle
#

Bc French gave every unit a hammer

torpid herald
#

Flash cut to Enzo arguing with one of the Mutimal's about petting "Okay, sorry, I didn't know you were sapient, im sorry!"

hushed eagle
#

I feel like I’m the only person who won’t have a mutalett

#

Just bc I don’t want to drag around something which may become a liability

#

-# Also as South may assume they’d be made to dig tunnels

minor ibex
#

I'm willing to stop the running gag if you are. =w=;

hushed eagle
#

I may be

#

If I don’t get a tunnel this game I may give up the running gag

#

Isn’t it gig?

torpid herald
#

A gag is a continuing joke

minor ibex
#

No, it's "gag." "Running gag" is the phrase.

hushed eagle
#

Ah

sterile basalt
torpid herald
#

Unless youre kinky

hushed eagle
#

Tbh I just ain’t an expert at words

#

Like a lot of words can accidentally be deemed offensive just bc of context and its awkward to keep track of ‘em

sterile basalt
#

I think of the words that I specifically don’t need to use at that moment.

hushed eagle
#

Personally I prefer making up words, which I can make translations for as nobody can say I’m wrong

#

It’s why almost every unit or thing I have isn’t in a known language

minor ibex
torpid herald
#

Fair

hushed eagle
# minor ibex Fun!^^

Tbh I think you have the cutest company just bc of the fact that mutaletts are eevees

#

I do hope some of your mutimals are actual eeveelutions

sterile basalt
# minor ibex Fun!^^

Just gotta hope the gang survives. If not, whelp more trauma for the new team!

hushed eagle
#

When you hire one too many mutaletts from the support programme:

low wagon
low wagon
minor ibex
# hushed eagle I do hope some of your mutimals are actual eeveelutions

Kinda yes, kinda no. I want to try and make the mutimals their own origonal species so that I don't step on the Eeveelutions' toes. But it's not impossible to find mutimals with mutations that make them look akin to Eeveelutions.

Westwing is probably the closest so far as a character as he's simply a winged golden fox. Though probably the most blatant would be Kaylee, who isn't an Eeveelution, but actually an Absol ripoff.^^;

hushed eagle
#

That’s fair

#

Since A it’d be too awkward to fully use pokemon models and B
if stuff goes on where this become more than just a lil fan project nintendo will be pissed

minor ibex
#

Yup. =~=;

hushed eagle
#

Anyhow, what do you want to scan?

minor ibex
#

Pardon?

hushed eagle
#

Technically once you turn on the power you can scan any tile

#

The sensor dish btw

minor ibex
#

I don't think the Listening Post is that narrow-focused. I imagine it scans an entire map and reveals everything on that board, and Shack explains what's going on that map.

hushed eagle
#

Tbh I meant a tile on the strategic map

minor ibex
#

And that's why I said I don't believe the Listening Post can operate that narrowly. Why go through so much trouble, just to reveal stuff on a single hex?

sterile basalt
#

Hopefully the dish can actually be used multiple times. Hmmm, should I investigate that this round?

hushed eagle
#

I’m just here as SB aren’t making real plans rn

sterile basalt
hushed eagle
#

The wording is weird, but small maps are deemed ‘tactical’ while the actual big map of the planet and space routes is the strategic map

#

I dunno why I’m explaining it to someone who clearly knows more than me

minor ibex
#

And I said "I imagine it scans an entire map and reveals everything on that board, and Shack explains what's going on that map."

We haven't decided which map to point the sensors towards yet. I was actually planning on releasing a poll in the Battlegroup Organization channel to get everyone to vote on it.

hushed eagle
#

Ah

sterile basalt
hushed eagle
#

Tbh I’d either vote for Ziyal or the space gate

#

-# Their space gate

minor ibex
#

A lot who's already been informed seems to vote for Ziyal. Which is actually a good choice. I just find the coincidence interesting. =w=

hushed eagle
#

I only have an interest in the Alden gate as I want to see if it’s really a spawner of sorts

#

I expect it to summon more orbitals for ‘em, but we don’t really know the ability such gates have

torpid herald
#

Maybe in a round while all the BGs are engaged we can scan further back to get a sense of reinforcement capabilities

minor ibex
#

I imagine the bots have a finite resource same as us. But if I were to shoot the nUwUke at something, it'd definitelly be the oposite gate as the enemy is already fleeting. Just to make sure they don't come back and the door is closed behind them.

hushed eagle
#

Ah yes the nUwUke

sterile basalt
#

I can’t believe that name French made for the nUwUke actually stuck.

minor ibex
#

I just shruged and went "why not? We changed Battle Teams to Battle Paws, let's go all out!" =w=

Southpaw (no ping as I think it's unimportant)
How many turns before we can push the big red button to nuke bots
Or could we load it onto the VTOL for future ops if it's not used?

minor ibex
# rose iris Southpaw (no ping as I think it's unimportant) How many turns before we can push...

Unknown.

I imagine we can use the Federal Listening Post itself to find a target and shoot the missile from our spot to anywhere on the entire campaign map.

If we remove it and take it with us, I don't think we'll have any equipment with the range to make use of it like the Listening Post does.

Best course of action is to standby and use the post to keep scanning the maps for the allied forces, and if an opportunity of a confirmed target pops up, we shoot the missile at it.

#

Maybe we could bring in an orbital though…

minor ibex
#

I'm with Derg on this one. Assuming the missile is as big as the silo it's contained in. We're not going to be able to take it anywhere.^^;

image.png
rose iris
#

Yeah

#

Understood

sterile basalt
hushed eagle
#

Being real, I want to tinker with stuff, but if we’re trying to extract the nUwUke you’ll need a lot of engineers and caution

minor ibex
#

Possible. I'll give you that.

Still though, I think our best option in using it to its full potential is right here at the Listening Post.

But I do think we only have one shot with this. After which we might not have to stick around anymore.

rose iris
#

Worst case scenario a bot aircraft crashes into the silo(like their bots they could do that as they are you know results over everything) what happens?

hushed eagle
#

Plus maybe like 5 VTOLs to airlift the thing

#

A forced detonation?

rose iris
hushed eagle
#

I don’t know whether the missile is activated upon launch or has an always active payload

#

That’s more of a “we need to learn about the missile” kinda question

minor ibex
#

Could be a confetti cannon for all we know. XD

I have absolutely no idea how I'm roleplaying that...

But I'll just assume during travel someone gave warmongerer one :D

#

Like he popped off the tank and people were in awe for the mutalett, so much so one of the engis made him a squishy hammer to keep with the Iron Hammer theming.

#

Yeah, that seems good & cute.

Good enough for government work. XD

ashen crystal
#

So, since I apparently have Digi now with the microns yesterday… where does Digi want to go?

#

Or is it a general “battle group is doing X” type round?

granite wasp
#

We all say what action we are preforming individually.

ashen crystal
#

So, that’s a lot of air assets lost

hybrid sable
#

Yeah. Suddenly very glad I didn't choose a fighter for the campaign

ashen iris
#

seems like we won't be encountering much combat for now

#

(-w-)

hybrid sable
#

I think they'll be needing Ultra on the surface pretty soon, though.

#

And information either now or sooner

gloomy merlin
#

I believe we should be able to power up the station and scan a location this turn.

ashen crystal
#

We’ll see. I imagine we won’t have a tactile map for next round given no hostiles.

#

So current plan is set down and let off Digi who somehow appeared in my hold and then find a place to hold position airborn

hybrid sable
#

Yep. No tac map. It all depends on what and how well the engis do

ashen crystal
#

So best get Digi back dirt side

hybrid sable
#

Let 'em down easy, if you would. It's been a rough round

golden vector
#

I think just us of Pathfinders can hold the Listening Post. Ultra is probably going to be needed for support on the ground

#

Also dam so many fighters got schwacked

autumn matrix
#

@minor ibex I think scanning ahead of the main force is a good idea

golden vector
#

I know we’re gonna scan but we need to activate the power first, carefully.

And we still need to get a squad to the control room to

hybrid sable
#

I still think Hill mine or C-Z would be a good choice: just resolve all of the remaining contacts and maybe their intentions (we are a listening post: maybe that includes comm intercept)

#

Control room won't be a problem: there's no tac map and all accessways are open, so 1st tails can just be there this coming round

sterile basalt
#

God, I really don’t want to know what’s in Ziyal city…

ashen iris
#

in which case I'll just be chilling -w-

ashen crystal
#

Is Digi of Ultra?

gloomy merlin
#

DigBoi? Yes. He is one of Ultra's Engis

ashen crystal
#

Ok, talking over there

torpid herald
#

That ground battle is insane

ashen crystal
#

If Shack hasn't brought in another GM, he has my respect, sympathy, amd fear

The Hardshells can teach them

I’m not sure if their programming is capable of learning

Not digging in, but sandbags for cover aren't digging in: it just requires them to be infantry units (it works for Powered Armor Infantry, who also can't dig in)

According to our stock. We have 36 Smol Supplies with us. (Ultra has 12) How much do we want to allocate to build up our defenses? Remember that supplies make sandbags, mines, and barbed wires. Ultra will need their supplies when they leave, and we won't get more until someone comes to resupply us.

#

I have important information to share with the entire Pathfinders Battlegroup!

I managed to speak with Shack to clarify details on how the Strategic Round is going to affect us now that we are no longer in combat, and have no need of a battle map at this moment.

Two major elements are now at play for us.

One; Is that our battlegroup can commit to a Defense Action. This is not something our individual Units do, but something I as the TAC-COM implements when submitting final orders to Shack.

What this does is very valuable to both us and also Ultra if they decide to stay as well. Battlegroups that take the Defense Action during a non-combat round can actually stockpile that round, and every consecutive round we take the Defense Action on. This can be cashed in on a combat round, where all the units are able to move and commit actions multiplied by the number of Defense rounds we’ve stockpiled before the enemy even gets a round themselves.

In other words, our movements and actions will be multiplied by the number of Defense Actions we’ve stockpiled. Example: If we have 3 Defense Actions, Engineer Bob can move 3x his normal speed, and do 3x the normal actions.

What’s even better, is that we can still do stuff during the rounds we’re stockpiling Defense Actions. Meaning we can still activate the sensors, repair the droids for combat, and set up traps, mines, and defenses. We just still need to keep track of all our actions and supplies we’re using up.

I’ll be certain to put in the Defense Action for our battlegroup when the time comes. Be sure to put in your unit orders and what you’re planning to do during the rounds, and I’ll work on summarizing who’s doing what during the rounds.

Strategically, it makes more sense just to take out the station than engage it

Actually, scratch that. It does say that infantry can commit an action to upgrade sandbags to a trench.

Right, that's where I remembered seeing that line

Which means ya, it is, in fact, beholden on Engineer sandbags action

So... the sound of rending metal continues as mechanical infantry make.trenvhes on the station floor

Oh yeah. It's not looking great, especially those gunships

torpid herald
#

Losses, but also kills

hybrid sable
#

I think the Victorum and Spearhead will ultimately be able to take out the infantry and walkers at C-Z, Hammer and Atlas and Redwall at Crossroads, but it'll be messy and the air power is a huge problem

torpid herald
#

We aren't special

sage frigate
#

Ya, the shock and awe effect has winded down for the guys downstairs.

#

Kind of a good thing that they did take up our advise to build up defences in the rear, though. At least they have somewhere to fallback on.

minor ibex
#

7 INF from Pathfinder, 9 INF from Ultra.
2 MED for Pathfinder, 2 MED for Ultra.
2 ENG for Pathfinder, 2 ENG for Ultra
18 smol supply.

Sandbags/trenches can occupy 2 INF each.

About 8 Sandbags for the whole 16 infantry units. 12 sandbags if you include the medics and engineers.

However, I think we can save on supplies if we include the IFVs, Light Vehicle, and the building themselves as occupied space.

hybrid sable
#

Don't forget the security droids: they can probably benefit from sandbags even though they almost certainly can't dig in

torpid herald
#

Put the sandbags in doorways, surrounding the lift, assuming breacher bots.

minor ibex
#

We can also turn the sandbags into trenches. Maybe even connect lines between some of the buildings.

hybrid sable
#

I would say we should focus on holding the triangle between the main lift, sensor tower, and dock exit, and have an extra set of sandbags in the interior (one for each corridor) incase the bots can breach. Makes for clean lines and connected trenches

sage frigate
#

We should also establish some kill zones too, given Shack's rule that damage is spread out.

golden vector
sage frigate
#

Try and find places where we will get overlapping fields of fire.

hybrid sable
#

Mm, true. straight and convex trench lines are for chumps

torpid herald
#

Small arms shouldn't damage the sensor tower interior

minor ibex
#

So 8 supplies for the sandbags.
4 for the Ion Mines.
4 for the barbed wire.

Wouldn't be enough to repair the defense bots if need be. But maybe there are parts in the maintenance area to check and maintain them. So we won't have to use our own supplies.

sage frigate
#

Bots also target us first over objectives, so we could probably bait them to us.

torpid herald
#

Contact General Shepard. We need those reinforcements yesterday

minor ibex
torpid herald
#

Personally I think we save our supplies and use them as the need arises

minor ibex
golden vector
sage frigate
#

Honestly, we definitely need more supplies.

hybrid sable
#

I don't. One call to 212 and they can drop us 20 small supply in a single round (30 if Ultra's still here)

#

which we should do, to be clear

torpid herald
#

I voted to use the supplies for a minefield, not how

minor ibex
sage frigate
#

Personally? Sure, we use the 18 now.
But next turn? I vote we use the rest.

minor ibex
#

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

hybrid sable
#

XD I'm with you, but I don't think that's what he meant

torpid herald
#

I assumed when Ultra departed they would be resupplied

sage frigate
#

We should pull a page from how it's usually done irl, build up sandbags and trenches first, then afterwards, we focus on razor wires and mines.

#

Build up our own defence capability first, then work on hindering the enemy.

minor ibex
hybrid sable
#

I'd still feel a lot more comfortable with full (8) sandbags on top and a couple of prepared firing positions in the interior

sage frigate
#

I mean, if we can, sure. But we also need to build up secondary fallback points too.

hybrid sable
#

We don't have the engis to do everything in 1 round, do we?

minor ibex
#

I think now that we're out of combat, we can.

torpid herald
#

This map is so small, we dont really have a fallback position without an enemy vector

sage frigate
#

Defence actions allows for three actions a turn, so ya, the engineers can do it.

minor ibex
sage frigate
hybrid sable
#

Pretty sure it should still take a 0.5 movement action for engis to construct something, which means 2 per engi per turn

#

ignoring moving between positions, which we can definitely do for free

golden vector
#

Should I get started on defenses first then or get the power back on first?

minor ibex

Also, we'll need to have a target to aim the sensor too.

#

I hope i didn't put Shack on a deep lore dive

sage frigate
#

Ok, haven't found the landmine quote, but did find this: ```Cargo Bay’s are the most important strategic level equipment orbitals can have. They represent the unlimited possibility of what the orbital “could be” carrying. We call this potential “Large Supply” As a way to help facilitate smoother gameplay orbital players don’t have to define what's in their Cargo Bays till the time comes to use them. They then spend “Large Supply” as a group like a resource to activate strategic level effects such as setting up of a massive minefield in a region or the extra thruster fuel to move the battlegroup faster for 1 round on the strategic map. Large Supply can also be used to maintain ground HQ level bases. These of course are all just examples. The hope is that we have lots of ways orbital Task Forces can use Cargo Bays to help shape the battlefield.

#

Ya, I can't find the mine quote.

#

I think safer to assume that Mr explosive isn't going to be our friend once armed.

golden vector
#

...which means the vehicles we do have now are going to be even more space limited since said mines Stun mechanical units. -.-

sage frigate
#

Yee, which means we need to establish lanes for our own mech movement, or restrict them to within a safe working perimeter.

golden vector
#

The Ion Mines have a length of 1 Range so they cover a whole Hex essentially.

#

Both mine field types btw are 1 Range in Length and both have the Stealth Tag.

hybrid sable
#

And our battlefield on the first floor is... optimistically 7 hexes in total

sage frigate
#

Ion also only stuns the enemy, if we just read what it says on the tin.

#

Anti personnel Landmines, however, damages infantry like units

torpid herald
#

Stunned enemies can still be shot

hybrid sable
#

Good way for VTOLs to drop pre-loaded infantry behind them to flank

golden vector
sage frigate
#

Honestly, both ways works for us with their own level of downsides.

torpid herald
#

If my infantry isn't close enough to fight then I'd rather have a better shot at something closer

hybrid sable
#

I would personally rather have a couple extra sandbag lines ready than a couple extra minefields. Can we stack minefields so that they can stun 4 enemies instead of two before depleting?

golden vector
#

In the descrip they have a caveat of must be built away from friendly supply bases.

#

minimum of 1 Range

hybrid sable
#

Do we have supply bases? I don't see any supply bases on this rock 😏

golden vector
#

Shrug

torpid herald
#

This IS our supply base

golden vector
#

just letting you know it has a caveat listed.

hybrid sable
#

Well, if we can decide exactly what portion of the first floor we want to defend, we can put minefields on either side

#

I still recommend the triangle between the main lift, sensor tower, and dock exit so we maintain access to both our potential exit-like points

golden vector
#

And looking over the Tactical Map....at best, I can probably reasonably fit 4-5 Ion Minefield Lines. This is if we fully commit to making the dirt trail ring bit fully mined.

torpid herald
#

When the Hardshells are done firing off 7.62/20mm shells, they may retreat for resupply

hybrid sable
#

And at some point we should seal the secondary access hatch to the droid maintenance facility so no bots stumble down it

torpid herald
#

Even if they did, with the station under our control they would die

golden vector
#

But with the thoughts of placing sandbag lines, the reasonable spots for the Minefield lines drops to 2-3.

hybrid sable
#

Opens up another front, though, which is bad for the defender. And the droids will be a pretty major part of our defense force

torpid herald
#

Hardshells will be available

hybrid sable
#

Your role in the defense cannot be overstated

torpid herald
#

We are currently patrolling the sensor tower. We can respond to any security threat

golden vector
#

Okay, so the two spots i could think to mine logically would be the North & Southwest of the Main Lift.

The north because its the Dock Entrance and the southwest in case they decide to hot-drop vehicles or such there.

torpid herald
#

Until given further orders, the Hardshells s obey

Wait nvm

There’s an infantry tag units can get

As Engineers, medics and Infantry get such a tag, it should include all 3

It’s just that engineers can instead use a action (0.5 movement), to upgrade to a trench instead

I don't think that'll be necessary, I'm just going to allocate the 18 supplies, and divide it up amongst what we need supplying.

I’m probably going to spend my turn making sure that the sensor tower won’t fry itself after we use it if that’s alright.

minor ibex
#

Fine by me. Though that's one less engineer making defenses.

sterile basalt
#

I’m just a base engi anyways, its more interesting to check the sensor tower and I have no idea where to put sandbags.

minor ibex
#

Fair enough. Though we've been discussing previously to put them around some of the entrances.

Either way, I'll be making notes and summaries as to who's doing what and where in the final submission to Shack for our Battlegroup.

sterile basalt
#

Yeah, we’re stacking defence actions anyways, so its not too big a loss in defence prep time.

minor ibex
#

True. =w=

golden vector
#

I figured we do a Octagonal shaped sandbag defense around the Main lift

hybrid sable
#

I think we should maintain access to the rim for potential flanking by claiming a pie slice of the first floor (I vote between the lift, sensor tower, and dock exit)
also an octagon around the lift would be huge with no overlapping fields of fire and a big vulnerable open space for the bots to drop in the middle

granite wasp
#

since cross fire is not a thing. The octogon in the center and then forces on keypoint on the edges would be deadly to Bots caught in the center. And maxmize our fire power and abilty to hold multiple points.

#

But space is an issue.

hybrid sable
#

There's no explicit mechanical benefit to crossfire on non-dug-in infantry, but the more squads we have that can shoot any given point at any given time the more likely any target is to not exist next turn. And we need to maintain our ability to support those forces on the edges with heals or repairs, which is basically impossible if we don't connect trench lines to the rim.

#

Making a 'W' out of the infantry and bots then closing the bottom with more botsdroids or vehicles would do both really well

ListeningPostLocations.png
granite wasp
#

thats true, But we do have a mechanical benefit of flanking. Which is the benefit of having the bots stuck between two positions.

hybrid sable
#

Flanking is only effective against vehicles and dug-in infantry, though. Doesn't do anything against non-dug-in infantry, and so far the bots haven't ever dug in

granite wasp
granite wasp
hybrid sable
#

Infantry within the triangle, bots on the wings and possibly rear depending on how they're loaded, the IFVs filling in as needed (though BlueMech and Sapien will probably want to zoom around to maintain evasive and split the bots' attention). And logi trucks right in the center where they can't be singled out

#

Did he? Don't recall that let me check

#

Guess this does suggest that, but would like confirmation that it's not just fluff text. We could maybe put Account in the southeast with VTOLs ready to either reinforce or extract them if they get detected. But we can also get flanking fire every other turn from Blue and Sapien

granite wasp
#

thats a good point we do have other options to make use of the benefit without splitting our force.

hybrid sable
#

And, importantly, the vics have the speed and ability-to-operate-outside-atmosphere to get back to us on their own

minor ibex
#

Last call for orders to be put in before the deadline. Even if you're doing nothing, putting in an order still keeps you active.

Any missed Turn Orders will be considered MIA, and if you miss 2 consecutive Turn Orders, you'll be permanently MIA and your unit will be lost forever.

minor ibex
# ashen crystal Does that mean multiple shooting as well for each stockpiled round or just speed...

Actually, if I'm reading the description right. We'll probably have 1 round of preparations, then the enemy will come in and everything will continue as normal.

That 1 round of prep-time will be where all the stockpiled rounds will be piled into.

I originally thought the same thing where we can just gun down all the enemies like mad. But I think that would directly conflict with Shack's general rule that everything happens at the same time in the game.^^;
