    Yes, yes, trust big high dark leader-face for finding and eating sleepers, but do we trust big high dark leader-face for killings open enemy?

    Remember that we can't deal actually lethal damage in a normal situation. This is just a war game. Our disabled pilots can be revived.
    The rebels are the ones capable of actually killing us, afaik.

    K, I'm drawing strategies.
    Since we have to fire and then move, we can't furball them today, correct?

    Arba-Arba'Hei figured out something interesting, maybe, yes! To win, friends must destroy star womb, and destroy sleepers among us! If friends care only for eating sleepers among us, should friends vote for a friend? We need friends to kill star-womb, but need sleepers dead, too!

    All PMs are out. If you received two, only the second one is correct. These bonuses will now be in the Notes section of your Status PM every night.

    We can afford to keep the sleepers around today, we need the firepower. We'll start worrying about them when we have a little more information tomorrow.

    Clarification on movement and defense and engine points:

    If your ship statline is (for example) 4/4/0/3 and you had 4 ships in your squadron. You would:

    1) Have 4 engine points for the purpose of movement (base stat for your ships)
    2) Have 16 defense value base when being shot at (4 engine x 4 ships)

    As your ship amount gets less, your defense value will lower, but your movement will always stay the same.

    All you guys reading all of your PM's craaaazazzzyyyy. But yes nevermind, apparently we have to eliminate the sleepers as well. So is there any reason to go after our secondary/tertiary goals?

    Note that at some point Laser Value / X (where X is the range) will equal zero

    Really need some place to collect all the different ship and weapon info, no PM/proboards is a pain for this reason. The enemy star destroyer can move up 1 and up to 5 forward?

    yes

    But our pilot skill only gets added once. So I would have 4 engine * 4 ships + Whatever defense value I have, yes?

    So here's my thought: that murderball is going to try and furball all of group fucked tonight and use the clusterbombs to take it all out.

    I'm... not sure I have a good solution to that.

    Pilot skill is used to determine an increase to your total Value before any modifiers.

    move to the northwest, yes, as far as fucked can? Only hope is to flank, yes, and stay away from firing area.

    But must all do so, if it is to work.

    Yea in theory they will expect us to move more towards teh middle-get our groups together. If group fucked could move into lines C + D they would likely flank, they'll keep more of their forces facing down towards group lucky. The problem I think is the group fucked bombers who I think are already facing down so they don't have many options.

    So if I had 4 defense skill, 5 ships in my squadron with 4 engine and was in defensive formation would I have 50 Defense ( (4+4)*5 + 25%) or 30 Defense ( 4*5 + 4 + 25%)?

    Neither

    It would be: 4*5 + 4*5(Insert math to determine pilot skill buff) + 4*5*.25 = Total Defense Value

    Disagree. I think we should flank to the north and force them to choose between exposing their back or splitting their forces.

    All will need to turn; the blowers-up no more than any else. A single turning can turn two hexes.

    So are we thinking about doing something like:

    The Sith Lord wants a big furball in the north. They may have a good reason for that.

    They have 2 engines so turn and move one, so they will be showing flank next round.

    Still probably are only option but I bet we lose them

    If blonthark and friends do that, enemy will be picking pieces of friends out of teeth for days. Even that is noble; inconvenience the enemy when nothing else is possible!

    But Arba'Arba-Hei rather flank.

  • Gandalf_the_CrazedGandalf_the_Crazed Vigilo ConfidoRegistered User regular
    Yeah, we absolutely should not move to the center. They've got too many ships that are in position to bomb that area, and they'll be expecting it.

  • SaberOverEasySaberOverEasy Info Broker Registered User regular
    I agree, we need to work towards the top. The Fighters get a free turn action, so it may be easier than you think.
