Re: Masters of Andromeda IV (New Horizons - Out of the Ashes)

Sort of replied already, just didn't include the actual summary stuff, but the basic plan will be to:

XGP (Cruiser) to fly along the flank of Bogg's dreadnaught
Still charging Heavy Fusion Cannons and Tractor Beam Mk40s
When concordat approaches open fire with Heavy Neutron Cannons as we speed passed

Shangri'la and El Dorada (Light Cruisers) follow loosely
Attack with Phaser Vs (x4) and Electro Pulse Gun (x1) [each]

Ships draw fire from Devoran Concordat #1 basically

That is, when we do reach combat, ignore as appropriate.

"Helm Bring us back, bring us closer to the World ship I dont like how this is looking its to simple of a plan somthing else is going to happen. Science If any enemy ships get close to them or us cloak without question understood?"
A sterness about the order
"Of coruse ill also keep the scanners as active as possible without giving our postion away"
A sly smile crossing Carters face
"As it should be"
Catching a sight at glimpse of his eyes of his first occier lean in to whisper
"What are you thinking, if the fightings in front of us and we are going backwards. Thats means you suspect somthing am I corecct?"
The ex-officers voice a little ragged coming out like a croak
"You would be correct though I would rather not say right now, could be just a twinge. But I have not lived this long by following orders blindly sure you understand"
Smilling palicng an arm upon the mans shoudler in freindly manner
"Right we cant sit around all day get to it, and science I am feeling uncharisly generious today. Pass on any data you get on enemy to the rest of the fleet, in coded bursts of course dont want to make it look as though we have gone soft"

The Black rose taking a hard turn in space firing its side thrusters to face the other direction. A burst from main impulse drive, pushing it forward rapidly dodging past the various crusiers and destroyers.

Actions
  • Heading to take position not far from world ships, disrectly as possible
  • Orders to cloak if any enemy gets enar the Black Rose or The World Ships
  • Orders to pass on any discovered data about the enemy ships to the rest of the fleet in short coded message for security reasons
  • Scanners on constant passive scan
  • Still monitoring Communciations channels of both Allies and Enemies
Actions noted
You have now cloaked (better to be safe than sorry )
Comms is monitoring - you pick up an incoming DEVORAN Signal but it is not from the ships in the battle - it is from another ship or ships ?????????
scanners pick up two spikes - 1 is from fluffies from insane arrival that the Flagship has targted the other seems to be a WORMHOLE!!!!!!!!! some 1 light second from the other side of the World Ships away from the unfolding battle

Now that's a big ship.

*Paul Hewitt Jnr, CEO of the SANCTUARY RUM DISTILLERIES COMPANY couldn't help but shake his head as he watched the heavily modified federation ship exit from ANKAA dry dock. It still looked much like the vessel stolen nearly fifteen years ago... only tan coloured... and that large sextet of engines in that armoured triangular shape looked new not to mention that rather nifty looking gold dome...

F*ck! How does such a puny little upstart put together an impressive piece of metal like that when half the known universe wants him drawn and quartered?*

Hewitt: All right everyone, let's get our asses up there and kick a few in the name of humanity!

*A large cheer goes up in the small bridge section of the Immortal Raven.

Poor, deluded souls...*

Hewitt: Helm! Park us under that funny-looking dreadnaught while the WO here charges up the phased hellbores. You both get that?

Helm: Yes sir!

WO: As always sir...

*Hewitt Jnr just nods before turning back to the tac-screen. The large battleship Pandora quickly pans out of view as his ship backs around heavily.

There's no way in hell any bastard son of mine is going to upstage me in a fight ever again, that's for sure...

-----------------------------------------

No.1: The Raven is turning towards the battle sir. Shall we hail them before we all get 'down and dirty' so to speak?

Hewitt: Are you serious? I don't want to be on the receiving end of any kind of pep talk from that old cocksucker. No. Let's just get this f*ckin' over with so we can all go back to sipping vodka martini's in the holodeck bar yes?

No.1: A big aye! aye! to that sir.

*Hewitt looked down at the claw-shaped commericalised heavy cruiser as it sped away. The box surrounding it on the bridge HUD was a clear blue - a neutral target.*

Hewitt: Ok peeps. Let's see what this baby can do... let's start by stretching her legs shall we?

Helm: YES SIR! Full speed ahead it is!

*The entire rear section of Pandora was suddenly obsured by bright ionised light as her engine array shifted straight into top gear. The suddenly acceleration caused several smaller ships to scatter in all directions.*

No.1: Now that's power.

*Hewitt just grins.*

Helm: Where shall I pull up sir?

Hewitt: Take us up alongside the Frivolous Rainbow. Also WO, I want those supercannons warmed up and ready by the time we reach the enemy.

WO: Heavy pulse cannons on the fry and cooking sir.

No.1: Anything else?

Hewitt: Yeah actually, deploy our fighters and send them with the rest of the fleet squadrons protecting the motherships. The WC knows what to do from that point on.

*As the battleship Pandora pulled up alongside the Frivolous Rainbow pairs of fighters began to drop from her underbelly and head over to the massed fighters of the federation, kipire, clanners and anyone else affliliated in this hopeless cause to save humanity.*

All fighters are to Stick To Formation! I want a lock on those ships for our missiles. When the sheilds are at 50%, launch all of them! In the mean time, continue charging superweapons and attack using all of our energy-based weapons unto the nearest Concordat!

*Cid sat down and began drumming his fingers on the side of his command chair, beginning to formulate multiple plans in his head. Then he suddenly had a thought.*

Cid: Scatter our capital ships, all ships are to attack at 30degrees from one another onto the Concordat, 90degrees full fighting force.
Comms: Relaying Orders now, sir.
Cid: Focus all medium to heavy energy weapons onto that Concordat, all medium weapons are to stand by to defend against fighters along-side our Fighter Defence units!
Comms: New orders relayed again, sir.

*Cid attempted to relax in his chair. After a few seconds he decided that it didn't work and began to formulate a few more bagttleplans in his head.*


-Summary-
Ships at total 90degree angle to nearest Concordat (30 degrees from each other)
Fighters are to target devoran vessels that come near the three Shraan capital ships, formation is to be kept at all times
Heavy and Medium weapons are to shoot at nearest Concordat
Light energy weapons to support Anti-Fighter Defences
All missiles to wait until nearest Concordat is at 50% sheilds before launching ALL of them
Superweapons at 2nd phase of charging
Actions Noted

*The alarms were sounding loudly. They were very annoying. Peter King opened his eyes to see a darkened room, the inside of his cabin. It had been greatly improved on the last refit, with a proper bed, chairs and the rest. Of course, everything had been greatly improved on the last refit. PK doubted there was a weapon in the universe that could take out the Striker Draconis' new shield systems while they were at full power. Tech had come up with some rather interesting new weapons too. By the sound of the alarms, it was time to see how well they performed. He jumped up, pulled on a navy jacket and the rest of his uniform and rushed out of the door. A few minutes later, he arrived on the battle deck which was already a hive of activity . PK quickly took his seat in the centre of the room and asked for a situation report..*

LRO - The Devoran are here, 8 concordat classes, multiple fighter groups.

SRO - Allied vessels are moving to engage, including various classes, led by our Devastator Super-Carrier.

"Well let's get this show on the road. I assume you've started charging weapons?

GO - Aye sir, 4 Linear Drives, 3 Black Hole Generators, 2 Particle Cannon on their way to being charged. The new Tau Cannon are ready to be fired on your command. Nova Cannon and Tau Missiles ready to be deployed at your leisure.

"Alright. Leave the ADVENT generator powered down. We obviously don't want to impede the Worldships' escape. Engage the cloak and bring sensors to maximum. All crew are to arm and make ready for combat, especially the brigadesmen, I want to see how well they'll perform. Launch all 20 Black Drakes, they're on interception duty, taking out any fighters or missiles that come our way. Now, let's get those new shields up and running."

ISO - Aye sir. Meta Shieldsing System engaged, boosting power to the shield grid. Meta-Phasic Shields powering. Electromagnetic Shields online. Gravometeric Defence Grid locked in and ready. Vorlon Shieldsgoing up. All shield systems report green

WO - Weapons report green.

EO - Propulsion and power reports green.

LRO - All systems green sir.

"Then let's take the fight to them. SRO, take us evasive and swift. Target enemy vessel 7, all weapons..."

PK - please do a summary next time to help me thx

Re: Masters of Andromeda IV (New Horizons - Out of the Ashes)

[Somewhere in deep space.]


A big Concordat, still looking new, slowly makes its way through a lot of wreckage, fresh wreckage, as if there had been a battle moments before. Tractor beams from the only intact vessel tractor some wreckage aboard, though it is all ejected again - nothing of value left...

Fluffie - "Goddamnit..."

WO - Laughing in a slightly evil kind of way - "We HAVE the power now, sir."

Fluffie - Nodding, happily - "Aye, indeed."

The vessel clears from the debris field, beginning to pick up speed as it clears from the field. Slicing through space like a knife through hot butter, it doesn't go to FTL speed yet.

Comms - "Sir, we still have an appointment at Ankaa, we're already late..."

SO - "...and we don't know how long they'll actually want us along on that big mission of theirs."

Fluffie - "Right, right. Plot a course to Ankaa, EO, ALL power to the Slipstream Drives."

EO - "Weapons going offline, shields going offline, superweapons... going offline."

Helm - "Plotting course for Ankaa."

Outside, the shields go down, leaving only the hull to protect the starship. The numerous weapons power down too, rerouting all power to the Slipstream Drives.

EO - "All power going into the Slipstream Drives."

SO - "This is going to be one hell of a ride, sir."

Comms - Opens a shipwide comm - "Attention, all hands, prepare for a rough ride."

SO - Looking at the energy output - "We're going to make one hell of an arrival."

Fluffie - "Helm, we good to go?"

EO - "The Slipstream Drives are fully charged and going into overdrive..."

Helm - "Ready to go on your mark..."

Fluffie - Smiling - "Move out."

The big vessel turns about, still picking up speed while already moving at an impressive pace. As it finishes turning, she jumps out with a massive bright flash...


[Time passes, switch from deep space to Ankaa.]


With a massive flash and a huge energy signature, the Concordat jumps into Ankaa space, almost right behind the player ships attacking the Devorans. Immidiately after jumping, its sensors freak out and the comms chatter is insane...

Fluffie - "Mother of..."

SO - "Enemy contacts, eight Devoran CONCORDATS!"

Comms - "We are being hailed, sir!"

WO - "EO, give us power, GIVE US POWER DAMNIT."

EO - Hurriedly working on his console - "Seperate shield and superweapon grid steady... Shields coming online, superweapons are charging."

SO - "We have been targetted."

Comms - "I suggest we reply, soon..."

Fluffie - "Helm, get us plowing right through those Devoran ****ers. Boost all shields using the Slipstream Drives. WO, get me a weapons lock on the closest Concordat."

Comms - "Sir..."

EO - "Normal weapons coming online, taking FTL drive online and boosting shields..."

WO - "Searching for target."

Comms - "SIR!"

Fluffie - "Tell them we'll shoot the ****ers out of the sky. We are the Pirate Vessel they wanted along on the mission, tell them to fire at those Devorans instead."

Comms - "Aye..."

Fluffie - "And tell them we're sorry about being late. Flight Control, LAUNCH ALL FIGHTERS."

Still gliding through space at an impressive pace after having jumped in, the big pirate vessel's Impulse Drives kick in, the rear of the ship flaring up. The ship turns about, beginning to charge at the Devorans.

SO - "Multiple ships already attacking the Devoran ships."

FC - "Launching all fighters. Orders?"

Fluffie - "Fly escort with us and take down any fighter or missile... Or whatever gets too close."

WC - "Particle Arrays coming online, Particle Lasers comings online, linking them up."

SO - "Enemy ships show no missile weaponry..."

WC - "Both Arrays link 10 Particle Lasers, both set to AFD tasking. Locking on Disruptor and Neutron batteries to closest Concordat..."

Fluffie - "Tractor Beams to point defense."

FC - "Fighters launched, they are forming up around us."

EO - "Shields online, still boosting directly from Slipstream Drives. Superweapons charging."

Fluffie - "Fire as soon as we're in range!"

Still behind the other Captains attacking the Devoran fleet, Fluffie's Concordat begins catching up, its weapons locking on with help of the Advanced Tactics Computer. Opening up as soon as they reach firing range, a massive volley of weapons fire bursts out from the numerous weapon ports spread along the hull of the Concordat.

Fluffie - "SO, I want a detailed scan of everything here. Use the Astrometrichs and our full scanning array, m'kay? Comms, tap into everything you can and see if you can learn anything useful."

SO & Comms - Looking a bit suprised at each other as they reply at the same moment, using the same two words - "Aye, Cap'n."

Fluffie - Looking at No1 as everyone is busy working - "Did we go to red alert yet?"

No1 - Shakes his head

Fluffie - "You can have the honour then, mate!"

No1 - Grinning before pressing the "Red Alert" button, red lights flash around the ship a mere second later - "All hands, in case you hadn't noticed yet, we are at war. Again. All hands, red alert, report to battle stations."




Summary:
Jumped in.

Both Particle Arrays link 10 Particle Lasers, both Arrays set to AFD.
Tractor Beams set to point defence.
Shields online, boosting directly from (all 4) Slipstream Drives.
All Heavy Disruptor and Heavy Neutron Cannons locking on with help of the Advanced Tactics Computer, aiming at the closest Concordat and firing as soon as they are in firing range.
All 250 Slipstream Fighters launched, with orders to fly escort - to shoot everything that comes close out of the sky.
Charging superweapons.
Science is using the Concordat's full abilities to get a detailed scan and report of the battlefield and its surroundings.
Comms is listening around, seeing if there's anything useful to learn.
Gone to red alert, battle stations and combat readiness!

Re: Masters of Andromeda IV (New Horizons - Out of the Ashes)

Inside

Wearing a long grim look on his face, as newws of the new ship signals reached his ears. BArly seconds passing as his vocie rings through the bridge.
"Helm bring us about and take us to cordinates of that forming jump, communications transmit the data to the rest of the fleet, dont bother encrypting it there is no time."
Sucking in some precious air, bareling out more orders within a few seconds.
"Make sure the cloak stays active, whsilt putting power into moderfied torpedo's. This roses has thorns of its own"
Unable to supress a slight grin, thought it was unlike John to seem so generous to others, perhaps there couldbe some profit in this after. Reaching down to open interal communications to the hold, a familiar muffled voice coming through on the other end
"All teams are ready and we have actived the bog units, if there a chance for combat this might be a good test for them. We have the codes ready to self destruct them if needed."
Letting the image of a short man fill his mind, dressed in a custom stealth suit, carrying a short riflle across his back, faced covered in a standard full face helmet.
"Good ill try to get you some big catches, i know how you like the challenge"
Ending the call as quick as it was stared, taking a look around the now busy bridge. The faint whisper of hsi first officers voice in the background.
"Are you sure about letting him be in charge of the baording teams, he did try to take over the ship once as I recall and was almost succesfull as well."
Carter Resting an Icy stare on the officer, the man was compitent but to talktive for his own health
"As I recall as well he also proven himself in battle time and again, once the slight problem of punshiment was dealt with after taht incident. I doubt he would ever try it again, though i doubt he is only one who thinks themselves as a possible captain to be, faced with the prospect of losing a few valubale body parts. Not to mention the special treatment after, few would try anyway dont you agree."
Getting a grim satisfaction from the look on mans face was enough to know he was udnerstood.
"Now since you dont seem to be doing much at the moment go and organise the repair crews, I dont see us getting out of this complety unharmed"

Outside

An usneen vessel moves itsself about to fire its drives towards the direction of opening wormhole, passing by the world ships with an agile grace. Space rushing past in its umoving defiance.

Actions

Heading towards forming wormholle under cloak.
All crew at combat and alert status.
All avaible data on the ariving ships sent to ships through the fleet in standard format.

Im new to this kinda thing so any suggestions or anything wrong please tell me.
Your shields aren't impressive, but that might be due to trying to keep a low cost vessel?
You certainly lack a "normal" space drive, such as Impulse Drive or anything above it in the list...
Isn't it 2 Ships Shuttles to a mount? Maybe get 1 more on each ship then?
And you don't have any armour, though that isn't mandatory I think...

Yes trying to keep cost low so I can have all 4 ships. The lack of normal space drive is because I forgot to put it in, corrected now and yes it is 2 ship shuttles to a mount but are those 2 shuttles all in the one price of 500c? Oh and if I have any armour id have to loose a fair amount of things, so i'll have to rely on other aspects otherwise i'll be dust very quickly I feel. Guess i'll hide behind your ship.

I wouldn't do that. I hear Fluffie's Concordats have a tendancy to go BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!!! so you better beware.

Incidentally, I do not know if you're very keen on having 4 ships, but if not, I'd suggest you take less ships (like 2 or maybe even 1) that are better armed and shielded, because currently you're pretty vulnerable.

Also, this may just be me being pedantic, but the quantum torpedoes go on external mounts, not on turret mounts (gives you more room for weapons anyway).

Finally, at the start of this thread everyone was given an additional 75 000 credits to toy with. You'll have to ask the big boss (Lady Hawk) about this, but I feel it makes sense that this bonus also applies to you.

"Gentlemen, when the enemy is committed to a mistake we must not interrupt him too soon." - Admiral Lord Nelson, Clan Historical Archive.

No Dachi watched as the senior Fleet Intelligence officers present aboard the Yudachi discussed the sensor data now displayed over several of the large front viewscreens, appearing quite unconcerned with the rapidly approaching enemy battleships. On one of the viewscreens was a plan of the engagement zone, complete with friendly and enemy ships and their respective positions. On the second, a wireframe schematic of one of the Devoran Concordats, as pieced together from deep-hull scans and existing Clan Fleet Archive data on Devoran technology. The third viewscreen was a mass of numbers and statistics - No Dachi took it for precise technical data on the Devoran vessels such as maximum rate of acceleration or such. Every now and again, one of the senior officers would turn and look down at one of the many junior officers huddled around their superiors, and ask him or her a question relating to the technical data. Junior Fleet Intelligence officers were mainly trained in gathering the hard information and analysing it. The most talented of them were then promoted to more senior ranks, where the primary duty became to look over the analysese and from them draw weaknesses in the enemy's capabilities. If there was one problem with this system, it was that senior officers often enjoyed debating potential means by which to destroy the enemy too much, and took too long to reach a collective desicion and offer a report to the commander of their assigned vessel or formation. However, in rushing the men to a conclusion, No Dachi was well aware that the only thing he would achieve would be to recieve and incomplete one, and so continued to watch the group of seven senior Fleet Intelligence personnel discuss possible courses of action. Tada-noh-Yuna, as Chief of Intelligence, remained at the Commander's side, being considered by Clan doctrine to be beyond such small-scale duties, and was included aboard the Yudachi to advise the Shingen on strategy relating to the ship's (and, as the ship was designed as a command vessel) and force's movement and campaign plan. However, No Dachi had frequently seen the senior officers turn to the woman, who they recognised as more capable than they, for advice or arbitration on particularly troublesome issues. Presently, the Chusa remembered that he had a ship to run.

"Sensors, are the Hatsuhara and the 117F in scan range yet?" He asked the senior sensors officer, turning the command chair around to face the right side of the bridge. The senior sensor officer looked down at his console for a moment before looking up again at the commander.

"Yes My Lord, both vessels are now within our sensor range, and will arrive in approximately 124 seconds." The man replied in a few moments of the question. No Dachi nodded.

"Helm, make final adjustments to our course to bring us up into position a safe distance in front of the two vessels. Sensors give their Final Exit coord to the Helm so that he knows where to go." No Daxhi ordered, now facing the Helmsman directly in front of the command chair.

"Transmitting the co-ordinates, sir." The Sensor Officer confirmed, busy entering the appropriate commands into his console. A short pause, then-

"Co-ordinates recieved, sir. Making appropriate adjustments to our course." The Helm Officer said. The change in the ship's direction was so slight that No Dachi barely even felt it, though he did notice a slight increase in the intensity of the engines' gentle humming. He was experiencing a slight bit of pre-battle anxiety, but he knew from experience that this would all vanish as soon as the firing started. It was the same for most Clan-trained crewmen, they were conditioned to act almost automatically in battle, with officers complying with tactical doctrine and the crewmen complying with the orders of the officers. Admiral Kojike, who, along with the now-disgraced Sar Ai, had drawn up the foundations of the fleet had theorised that this was the only way by which a warship could operate at full efficiency. In order for this doctrine to work, however, the tactics of the officers had to be flawless, and this was why the Fleet Intelligence officers were aboard; to ensure that the Commander of the vessel would always have a helping hand to guide him through difficult situations. No Dachi, however, being his father's son, rarely asked them for a precise course of action, but more frequently for advice or information.

"Sir, the Hatsuhara and the AGB-117F are rapidly nearing our position. They will exit Hyperspace in ten seconds." The Sensor Officer reported. No Dachi nodded but said nothing in reply. The leftmost Concordat was now almost within attack range. The Shingen's intention was to exploit the element of surprise created by the two support warships suddenly appearing at his rear and then immediately press home the assault on the Concordat. Once engaged, he would attempt to draw the enemy vessel off to the left and away from the main battle, wherupon his superior forces would be able to surround it, divide its firepower and destroy it. No Dachi allowed himself a slight smile as he watched one of the smaller viewscreens, in the corner between the front and right walls of the bridge. It was showing the view from one of the rear-facing camera drones. A brilliant array of stars on a field of pitch black - No Dachi was glad to fight his battles in space, knowing that if he were to die from shrapnel or from searing backflash or from enemy bullet, he would die among the stars. Suddenly, a new star appeared on the viewscreen. Small, but winking brightly. It grew steadily larger - something big approaching the position very quickly. Suddenly, the object appeared to explode forwards toward the screen, revealing itself to be a ship. All at once, it decelerated very rapidly, coming to rest just behind the Yudachi. No Dachi recognised the vessel as a large carrier of Asanawa Clan design, but of a class he had not yet encountered. It was almost certainly the Hatsuhara. Hanging in the void, barely visible, above the Hatsuhara was a far smaller vessel, presumably the AGB class that he knew had been sent along with the carrier. A thought suddenly struck the Commander. If he were Admiral Kojike, who would he have sent along to command the second vessel? Presumably one of the Clan's finest. Most of these were by now Commodores or Admirals, so the man must have been one of the prodigal enlisted crewmen to have earned himself an officer's commission...

"My Lord," The Sensor Officer began, "the Hatsuhara and the AGB-117F have now arrived at their given Exit co-ordinates. The Hatsuhara is moving to take up formation with us."

"Sir," The Coms Officer followed on almost without any pause whatsoever, "The Hatsuhara is hailing us. Shosha Yoritomo Ije greets you and awaits instruction."

No Dachi nodded. Yoritomo was nigh-on fifty year-old, and had started life as a fighter pilot himself. After he'd lost his left arm in battle, the replacement cybernetic arm had proved too primitive to allow him to continue service as a pilot. Having been offered honourable transfer to a non-combat position training fighter pilot trainees at the Imperial War Academy, he had refused and enlisted in the Imperial Navy as a gunner. Having worked his way up to Juni (warrant officer) commanding a heavy gun aboard the Battleship Sengoku, Yoritomo had singel-handedly held off waves of ULP troops after the vessel was boarded in the Battle of the Yurimasen Gap, enabling his crew to continue firing and eventually cripple the enemy vessel. Rather than spend the rest of the fighting sitting on his backside, Yoritomo had then led a counter-attack, armed only with his two samurai swords, that drove the ULP troops in his section of the ship back to their shuttles and then to surrender, saving the ship's engine room from sabotage...his mind was wandering again. No Dachi re-focused himself on the battle.

"Return Shosha Yoritomo's greetings. Instruct him that he is to order the launch of all fighters immediately. The fighters will adopt Schwarm formation and form an offensive screen in front of us. Thier initial objective is to intercept and destroy the enemy fighters, after that they will switch to destroying weapon and critical systems aboard the enemy vessel." No Dachi ordered, speaking to the Coms Officer, who obeyed instantaneously, head down and already hammering out the message. "Also, I want the Hatsuhara firing cruise missiles off at the enemy Concordat's bridge and sensor arrays, the aim to to blind its commanders and sow confusion among the crew." With that, he had finished. No Dachi started thinking tactically with regard to his own ship, the Yudachi. Like all Asanawa Clan ships, the emphasis was on firepower and speed over armour and shielding. Although the Yudachi's shields were good enough, she would be quickly destroyed by concentrated fire from the Concordat, if the vessel was allowed to bring its guns to bear. With this in mind, No Dachi quickly settled on the appropriate manouevres.

"Master Gunner, sound the combat alarm immediately," He said, speaking not loudly, but in a way that carried throughout the bridge nonetheless. Almost immediately, the combat alarm droned out three, short, high pitched wails before falling silent. This was to let the crew know that the ship was about to engage in a firefight. "Helm, we're going in hard and fast for the initial attack run. Thereafter I want us circling the ship at good speed so they can't get a lock on us. Tac, fire both Quantum Torpedo tubes immediately, aiming for maximum structural damage, and order all gunnery crews to stand by for a toe-to-toe slogging match. We need to distract the ship and do as much damage as possible while artillery fire and fighters from the Hatsuhara damage the enemy's systems enough for us to deliver the killing blow." No Dachi could feel the Yudachi beginning to accelerate, even through the intertial dampeners. The Master Gunner nodded noticeably and reached for the radio handset hanging from the cieling above his console, pulling it down against the coild wiring. He pressed a button on the side of the hand piece.

"Port Quantum Torpedo Tube, Starboard Quantum Torpedo Tube, report in." He said, before going silent, awaiting a response.

"Port Quantum Torpedo Tube, locked and loaded."

"Starboard Quantum Torpedo Tubes, awaiting the order."

"Open fire immediately. Target areas critical to structural integrity; blow the thing to pieces."

"Roger that, opening fire."

"Aye aye Master Gunner sir, firing torpedo."

No Dachi nodded before continuing.

"Open fire, all batteries. Target the Ion Cannons on one section of the shields and fire the Particle Array through it before the shields' charge has time to equalise. Aim the Particle Array squarely at the highest concentration of heavy guns ((the Reflex Cannons and Heavy Fusion Cannons)) you can find and blow them to pieces. Helm, keep us moving fact. Sensors, I want a damage report on the enemy vessel as soon as our initial volley has hit. In the meantime, I want you to identify and map the firing arcs of all of the Concordat's main guns ((the aforementioned ones)). Clock their turning speed. Give the data to the Helm so that he can avoid the guns more easily. Intelligence, go over the schematics of that Concordat again. Are there any weaknesses we can exploit in its design? Coms, order Shosha Yoritomo to engage the enemy from a distance and fire at will. If he comes under fire he is to withdraw." No Dachi watched as the various crewmen went about their duties...

Summary
-The Yudachi is moving to attack the leftmost Concordat.
-Its weaponry is being trained on the section of the hull determined weakest by Fleet Intelligence.
-The Hatsuhara has launched all strike craft. The Samurai Medium Fighters are attacking en masse in classic schwarm formation. None of this 'claw' rubbish for my fleet. The fighters will concentrate first on destroying the enemy fighters, and will then switch to disabling weaponry. 10 fighters are held back to protect the carrier.
-The Yudachi is targetting shields and trying to lure the enemy vessel off to the left and away from the rest of the enemy force. The Yudachi's Helmsman has been ordered to use the vessel's superior manouevreability to best effect.
-The Hatsuhara itself is remaining a good distance back from the fighting, giving support with its Medium Ion Cannons and Cruise Missiles, targetting shields with the first and systems (sensors/bridge etc) with the second. The AGB-117F is not suited for space combat and is remaining unengaged.
-The Yudachi's own fighters will continue with their previous orders.
-Fleet Intelligence will continue to observe the rest of the battle and will warn of any potential danger indicated by manouevre on the part of the enemy.

PHEW!!!!!

i would go with one ship or 2 ships - those 4 ships you have got would not survive in a battle against a DEVORAN ship of the line

Fluffie - "Goddamnit..."

WO - Laughing in a slightly evil kind of way - "We HAVE the power now, sir."

Fluffie - Nodding, happily - "Aye, indeed."

The vessel clears from the debris field, beginning to pick up speed as it clears from the field. Slicing through space like a knife through hot butter, it doesn't go to FTL speed yet.

Comms - "Sir, we still have an appointment at Ankaa, we're already late..."

SO - "...and we don't know how long they'll actually want us along on that big mission of theirs."

Fluffie - "Right, right. Plot a course to Ankaa, EO, ALL power to the Slipstream Drives."

EO - "Weapons going offline, shields going offline, superweapons... going offline."

Helm - "Plotting course for Ankaa."

Outside, the shields go down, leaving only the hull to protect the starship. The numerous weapons power down too, rerouting all power to the Slipstream Drives.

EO - "All power going into the Slipstream Drives."

SO - "This is going to be one hell of a ride, sir."

Comms - Opens a shipwide comm - "Attention, all hands, prepare for a rough ride."

SO - Looking at the energy output - "We're going to make one hell of an arrival."

Fluffie - "Helm, we good to go?"

EO - "The Slipstream Drives are fully charged and going into overdrive..."

Helm - "Ready to go on your mark..."

Fluffie - Smiling - "Move out."

The big vessel turns about, still picking up speed while already moving at an impressive pace. As it finishes turning, she jumps out with a massive bright flash...


[Time passes, switch from deep space to Ankaa.]


With a massive flash and a huge energy signature, the Concordat jumps into Ankaa space, almost right behind the player ships attacking the Devorans. Immidiately after jumping, its sensors freak out and the comms chatter is insane...

Fluffie - "Mother of..."

SO - "Enemy contacts, eight Devoran CONCORDATS!"

Comms - "We are being hailed, sir!"

WO - "EO, give us power, GIVE US POWER DAMNIT."

EO - Hurriedly working on his console - "Seperate shield and superweapon grid steady... Shields coming online, superweapons are charging."

SO - "We have been targetted."

Comms - "I suggest we reply, soon..."

Fluffie - "Helm, get us plowing right through those Devoran ****ers. Boost all shields using the Slipstream Drives. WO, get me a weapons lock on the closest Concordat."

Comms - "Sir..."

EO - "Normal weapons coming online, taking FTL drive online and boosting shields..."

WO - "Searching for target."

Comms - "SIR!"

Fluffie - "Tell them we'll shoot the ****ers out of the sky. We are the Pirate Vessel they wanted along on the mission, tell them to fire at those Devorans instead."

Comms - "Aye..."

Fluffie - "And tell them we're sorry about being late. Flight Control, LAUNCH ALL FIGHTERS."

Still gliding through space at an impressive pace after having jumped in, the big pirate vessel's Impulse Drives kick in, the rear of the ship flaring up. The ship turns about, beginning to charge at the Devorans.

SO - "Multiple ships already attacking the Devoran ships."

FC - "Launching all fighters. Orders?"

Fluffie - "Fly escort with us and take down any fighter or missile... Or whatever gets too close."

WC - "Particle Arrays coming online, Particle Lasers comings online, linking them up."

SO - "Enemy ships show no missile weaponry..."

WC - "Both Arrays link 10 Particle Lasers, both set to AFD tasking. Locking on Disruptor and Neutron batteries to closest Concordat..."

Fluffie - "Tractor Beams to point defense."

FC - "Fighters launched, they are forming up around us."

EO - "Shields online, still boosting directly from Slipstream Drives. Superweapons charging."

Fluffie - "Fire as soon as we're in range!"

Still behind the other Captains attacking the Devoran fleet, Fluffie's Concordat begins catching up, its weapons locking on with help of the Advanced Tactics Computer. Opening up as soon as they reach firing range, a massive volley of weapons fire bursts out from the numerous weapon ports spread along the hull of the Concordat.

Fluffie - "SO, I want a detailed scan of everything here. Use the Astrometrichs and our full scanning array, m'kay? Comms, tap into everything you can and see if you can learn anything useful."

SO & Comms - Looking a bit suprised at each other as they reply at the same moment, using the same two words - "Aye, Cap'n."

Fluffie - Looking at No1 as everyone is busy working - "Did we go to red alert yet?"

No1 - Shakes his head

Fluffie - "You can have the honour then, mate!"

No1 - Grinning before pressing the "Red Alert" button, red lights flash around the ship a mere second later - "All hands, in case you hadn't noticed yet, we are at war. Again. All hands, red alert, report to battle stations."




Summary:
Jumped in.

Both Particle Arrays link 10 Particle Lasers, both Arrays set to AFD.
Tractor Beams set to point defence.
Shields online, boosting directly from (all 4) Slipstream Drives.
All Heavy Disruptor and Heavy Neutron Cannons locking on with help of the Advanced Tactics Computer, aiming at the closest Concordat and firing as soon as they are in firing range.
All 250 Slipstream Fighters launched, with orders to fly escort - to shoot everything that comes close out of the sky.
Charging superweapons.
Science is using the Concordat's full abilities to get a detailed scan and report of the battlefield and its surroundings.
Comms is listening around, seeing if there's anything useful to learn.
Gone to red alert, battle stations and combat readiness!
