Fine, the Amodyte and the Defender are to rip havok onto the Command Carrier and the three attack destroyers, the Privateer is to help our fighters attack those bombers and help as a command point for our fighters. All the Privateer weapons are to go to Anti-Figther mode apart from the AMD which are to remain as they are!
FC: Relaying orders now, sir!
Cid: Divert FTL drives from regeneration to strengthen superweapons of the Amodyte and the Defender as well as placing some strength into our anti-fighter and anti-missile defences.
EO: Doing so now, sir!
No1: Sir, the runners have found some coffee beans and are making it now for you, sir.
Cid: Excellent!

*Cid smiled as he watched the holo-map of the situation he was facing soon. He frowned a little as he watched himself being the World Ship's only hope of survival.*

Cid: How are the World Ships?
SO: They are at 95% sheild power
Cid: As long as they dont fall below 75% sheild power it is all fine!
No1: With destroyers closing in it might be harder to acheive...
Cid: Concentrate the Defender and the Amodyte weapons on those destroyers, use the tractor beams to quickly knock any missiles away from us and, hopefully, back at them, use a catapult effect if neccessary.
No1: That still may not be enough.
Cid: No, but I know what WILL be enough! Fire all the EMP missile pods from the Defender, two missiles for one destroyer, two for another. Directly after the EMP missiles I want the Defender to launch all 5 Proton Torpeadoes, 3 on the first destroyer, 2 on the second. Then I want both the Defender and the Amodyte to fire 3 cruise missiles each, the Defender to launch against the first destroyer, the Amodyte to launch against the second. This means the first Attack Destroyer receives 2 EMP, 3 Proton and 3 Cruise... the second Attack Destroyer would gain 2 EMP, 2 Proton and 3 Cruise. I want it in that order! a ten secon space between each volley. If all goes well, those attack destroyers will be pulp before they can do anything.

*Cid smiles as the SO quickly makes a hologram of the plan to display on the holo-map so the WO and No1 could make sense of it all. A runner walked next to Cid's chair and knelt down, a cup of steaming black liquid was in his right hand. It was a corporal of about 20 years of age, wearing the usual shraanian remnant attire and with a few ribbons on his chest to demonstrate he had been a part of the Amodyte since it's first ventures away from Cid's Admiral father.*

Runner: Your coffee, Sector Commander...
Cid: Excellent! You any good at engineering?
Runner: I am mainly an soldier, sir, but I do some engineering...

*Cid's expression changed to a wide grin.*

Cid: Excellent... I may have work for the troopers on this ship in the near future... since they ain't doing much else, they might as well do something...
No1: What did you mainly have in mind?
Cid: You'll know soon enough...


-Actions-
Privateer to continue towards bombers and act as 'base' or 'control' for the Shraan fighters
Privateer weapons to go into AFD mode (AMD to remain AMD)
Defender and Amodyte to assault the Attack Destroyers
Use energy-based weapons to attack Devoran Attack Destroyers
Use tractor beams to quickly 'grab' incoming missiles and 'hopefully' throw them back
Defender and Amodyte FTL drives to divert power towards energy-based weapons and Superweapons
Superweapons to continue charging
Missiles to assault Attack destroyer 1 and 2 with following missile routine:
  1. 2 Emp (10 second wait), 3 Proton (10 second wait), 3 Cruise
  2. 2 EMP (10 second wait), 2 Proton (10 second wait), 3 Cruise
Actions Noted
Privateer to Command Control - fighters gain +15 to evade and +15 to hit
weapons to AFD
Attacking the Attack Destroyers
Superweapon charge - 2 post
weapons fired in sequence

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

Mission's over, so I'm posting how I spent my million C, being the weak-willed hypocrit that I am. For reference, Inspectre only contacted me with the idea of not taking it after I spent two days designing the ships; so obviously I wasn't as open to the idea as I might have been...

Standing Combat Orders
The Medical Frigate stays well back from the cruisers and destroyers when in battle, lurking in the protective shadow of the Carrier Hatsuhara. Each shuttle is responsible for evacuating the wounded from two of the line combat ships; Shuttle 1 evacuates wounded from the Yudachi and the Ikazuchi, Shuttle 2 from the Amatsukaze and the Inazuma. Two Wakizashi Class Light Fighters escort each shuttle. The fighter pilots operating from the Medical Frigate have been chosen especially for their honour and dedication to duty; and are under orders to do anything, including sacrifice themselve, to save the shuttles, if the shuttles are attacked in transit. If both of its shuttles are lost in combat despite these preventative measures, the 294-M will use the Drunken Monk's shuttles as casualty transports instead.

Standing Combat Orders/Info:
The AFS (Auxilliary Fleet Support) 609-R (Recreational) vessel, christened the Drunken Monk by an appreciative squadron's crewmen, serves as the R&R vessel for No Dachi's various ships. The two ship's shuttles each ferry leasure-hungry crewmen and women from the other vessels to their home vessel. They have no escorts and naturally do not operate in the middle of battles (though if the worst comes to worse and the Medical Ship loses both its shuttles, the shuttles from the Monk will be pressed into ambulance service). The Hydroponics Facility is partitioned into a farming area, which produces fresh, home-grown produce that is in turn distributed among the other ships, and a much larger leasure area, which is set up as a tropical rainforest with its own narrow waterfront and beach, designed to mimic the popular equatorial tourist atolls of Harkun. The Hydroponics facility is contained beneath a reinforced glass dome through which the stars are visible in all their expansive glory, and though this dome provides ample viewing pleasure it is nonetheless vunerable to damage from enemy fire; a problem compounded by the vessel's inferior missile and fighter defense systems. As such the 609-R remains well back from the fighting, behind even the Hatsuhara, and only comes forward to do its much-welcomed duty between battles. The ship's unnofficial name stems from the obvious side-effects of AFS R-types being the only class of Clan ship on which the consumption of alcohol by Clan personnel is permitted. In this sense and others the ship is effectively mobile shore leave.

Standing Orders/Info:
The ACS (Auxilliary Civilian Support) 442-S (Scientific) is a fully-equipped Asanawa Clan science vessel, sent to accompany No Dachi's squadron along with the reinforcement warships and the other new auxilliary craft. It is designed not only for analysis, but also for exploration, carrying two teams of Exploratory Surveyors and their equipment, along with Marine Corps and Imperial Army troops to escort and protect them. The Hydroponics Facility is divided in two; one half, carefully sealed and isolated by a series of airlocks from the rest of the ship, is at the moment empty, and is built to house any new alien fauna that the teams discover and find to be of interest. The other half is a simple agriculture garden set up to produce fresh food (distributed among the other vessels). The ship is armed, but is not built for combat, and will instead hang back near the Drunken Monk in case of battle.

"Well... that was easier than expected."

ooc// I would have done a post, but LH is just too quick for meh On a side note, I'm indecisive about the 1mil bonus. If it's payment for completion of the mission, then I'll definately take it, otherwise, I'm not sure, for while I would like the capital, cash just so we can keep up with each other seems rather silly. //ooc

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

As I understood it, it is compensation for Bakan's freebie. I don't think anyone should be compensated for another person's freebie, which is why Inspectre and I have decided not to take it.
A mission bonus, on the other hand, is something else. I'm hoping we get a mission bonus, cos I'm badly in need of some repairs and perhaps some upgrades.

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

ffs people, will you just take the money and shut up?

Look, I have an idea. For those of you still uncomfortable about having a large wad of virtual cash land in your lap then perhaps you can donate it to a virtual charity?



Here's a few good ones,

- The Black Armada Emergency Alcohol Drive
- Whiners Anonymous
- Friends of Andromeda
- The Hewitt Foundation's appeal for the survivors of Pandora and the advancement of Hewitt's ego.

So please, give generously... because I want an attack concordat.

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

I don't want to see any of you people not taking the money complaining next mission when you can't kill anything because it's all too powerful.

Edit: It's 'your choice' as far as I'm concerned. Even if the motives for offering it aren't good, it's still been offered, and I see no reason not to take it. Plus Inspectre's "1337er than thou" attitude was really beginning to piss me off over MSN which wasn't helping his cause in my eyes...

Actually, yes. It seems LH forgot about that, but it's probably better for us anyway

OK, I've decided to regard the money as a mission bonus, with Bakan's ship as HIS mission bonus, so therefore I will use the money.

Marcus Adcobravatus, Captain of the 8th Company of the Shogun's Angel Guard and Retainer of the Asanawa Clan, sped down the corridor of the Devoran Concordat, making use of his wings in combination with his legs to move at speeds many times that which the normal human was capable of, as he had been taught long ago in the guard academy - siutated on Arkon, the ancient planet of the Angels. Momentarily, he blocked out the irregular footsteps of his comrades following behind him, moving in the same away, in order to allow his acute sense of hearing to come into play. He could hear military boots pounding the steel floor of the deck above as the vessel's commander furiously attempted to orchestrate the crewmen into a cohesive response force, but those Devorans would soon be too far behind the Angels to do any good. A plethora of other sounds soon drowned out that of the crewmen on the deck above him; the discharge of heavy weaponry firing, the gentle hum of electricity conduits, the ship's commander screaming orders down the ship's intercom - the sounds of a ship at war. Suddenly, the Captain's keen eyes picked out movement far ahead down the corridor - a door opening. Several Devoran crewmen, armed and armoured with proper boarding equipment, burst out of the doorway and into the corridor. It was not hard to see that they were not trained as marines, for they failed to establish a base of fire at the doorway before their charge. Captain Adcobravatus lifted his assault rifle, bringing it to bear on the crewmens' leader, easily distinguished from his different-coloured body armour, and almost nonchalantly fired a burst of three shots at the alien's face. The Angel's eyes picked out every detail of the impact. The first bullet slammed into the creature's visor, stopped dead by the durable material, but causing it to fracture in several places. The subsequent two bullets smashed clean through the visor, burying themselves in the Devoran's face in an explosion of brightly-coloured gore. The Captain heard gunfire form behind him, as three other members of his squad opened fire with their own weapons. Three more Devorans fell, either dead, wounded or merely knocked down, it did not matter. With a fierce battle cry, the squad's seargent threw back his outstretched golden wings and leapt forward, propelling himself twenty metres down the corridor with immense speed, bringing his sword in a vicious horizontal slash straight through the chest of another Devoran, killing him outright, before flooring the last standing crewman with a powerful spinning kick and running him through on the deckplates with a downward strike of the sword's razor sharp point. If any of the three crewmen hit by assault rifle fire were alive, they wisely decided to remain on the ground. Sergeant Comelius sheathed his sword - a finely-made Clan katana - and glanced further down the corridor before turning to the Captain and nodding. The Captain ejected the now nearly-spent magasine from his assault rifle and slammed a replacement home, pulling on the latch to lock the new ammunition in place as he bellowed orders to the squad.

"Keep moving! Reload as you go, keep an eye out for gun batteries batteries or ammunition stores!" And, with that, he hefted his wings, proppelling himself forward down the corridor. The others followed. The sergeant dropped behind breifly as, having forced the sliding door through which the armed crewmen had attacked open with the blade of his sword, he took a satchel charge from the strap around his shoulder and briefly set the timer before throwing it inside, then bounding on after the rest of the squad. Two seconds later a massive explosion ripped through the unseen room, followed closely by a larger still secondary explosion - the room must have been an armoury of sorts. The immense force of the two detonations blew out a section of the corridor's wall on either side of the door, sending pieces of jagged metal shrapnel clattering across the deck. Marcus let the muzzle of his assault rifle fall as he pressed his left hand against the radio set resting in his ear, but kept hold of the pistol grip with his right hand. Keeping his eyes open, hespoke into the microphone built into his helmet. "This is Captain Adcobravatus, my squad and I are continuing down the corridor, we are encountering sporadic light resistance. The enemy continues to be too incohesive to pose a serious threat. How far are we from the engine room?" He released pressure from the button on the radio headset, awaiting the response from the Yudachi's sensor officers. It was not long in coming.

"Continue along the present corridor for around two hundred metres, sir. You will find a four-way intersection with a door on your left leading to a heavy fusion battery. The Shingen orders that you disable it. Once down, continue down the corridor ahead of you as you exit the battery. The only door on this corridor is halfway down it, leading left to the engine rooms. You should meet the other squads along the way. The Commander orders you to cripple the engines. Apart from a few with which to breach exit points, use all of your remaining satchel charges, give yourselves enough time to get out; Engineering and Tactical both anticipate a large secondary explosion from the engines." Hisses of static occasionally disrupted the human woman's instructions as the masses of radiation released from energy weapons fire striking the Yudachi's shields interfered with the coms signal, but Adcobravatus understood most of it at any rate. The message continued. "Be advised that the ship is taking damage and that we can no longer maintain full power to the sensors; information in the future may be sketchy. Good luck, Yudachi out." The Captain nodded to himself. He could see the intersection that the sensors officer had spoke of looming up ahead. Indeed, a heavy blast door led off to the left, indicating that the room beyond was one deemed to be at risk from weapons fire. Marcus turned, still moving rapidly with the run-jumping technique, to face his squad of 19 other Angels, following close behind him.

"Juventus, Kiryk, blow through the blast door at the intersection up ahead. The rest of you, storm through the doorway as soon as it's open and clear out the inside. As soon as we are done, leave the battery and follow me. Vindicis, you will set another charge to destroy the battery, then follow after us." He halted on his last word, stopping either metres short of the heavy blast door, before nodding at privates Juventus and Kiryk. Both of the soldiers obligingly bounded forward, landing lightly on either side of the doorway, before setting one satchel charge each down next to it. Both primed the timer, before jumping back to the opposite side of the doorway. Seconds later, a brilliant flash of white light, and a gaping hole twice the width of the doorway replaced the thick steel barrier. Sensing that close quarters combat was imminent, Adcobravatus let his assault rifle hang loose from its strap, unsheathed his sword and, holding it high above his head, roared the signal. "Attack! Leave not one of them alive! For the Shogun!" He leapt forward, his jump carrying him clean through the jagged makeshift doorway, through the billowing smoke and dust and into the battery, hearing his comrades take up the cry behind him, before following their Captain through the sight-obscuring swarm. The Captain could not see the enemy, for the dust and smoke were thick in the air within the battery as well as without, but he could hear the Devorans coughing and wretching in the unclean air. He rounded on the nearest source of the noise, bringing his sword down vertically, rewarded by a scream and the dull thud of something heavy hitting the floor. Pausing briefly from the combat, he blinked three times in quick succession. His helmet, detecting the motion, activated the infra-red mode of his visor. Instantly, the room was thrown into a mix of unwordly colours. He could see the barrel of the heavy fusion cannon outside of the ship, glowing a brilliant white with the tremendous heat generated by prolonged firing, but more importantly he could see the shapes of the gunners and technicians - ten of them remaining, two of them dead on the floor. Shouting their own personal battle cries, the Angels of his squad engaged the remaining enemies, having followed their Captain's example of the infra-red imaging. The Angels outnumbered the Devorans two to one, and ir practically would have been a frgone victory had there been one Angel against all ten of them, dazed and blind as they were. One of them, the one who had been further from the blast, was drawing a weapon of some kind. With all of the other Devorans already locked in futile conmbat with the other Angels, Adcobravatus saw no harm in earning himself a few style points. Bringing his katana back over his shoulder, holding it right handed, the Captain threw the weapon forward, point first, at the pistol-bearing enemy. The sword ran him straight through, pinning him to the wall behind. The Devoran died instantly. Adcobravatus paced over to the wall and pulled his sword from it, flcking his wrist to clear the blase of the blood covering it. He turned on his heel, and when his gaze came to rest on the room behind him, the remaining gunners were dead. He nodded, before leaping forward out through the doorway. The squad knew its orders already. The Captain sheathed his sword, before once more bringing up his assault rifle, and began once more to leap and stride down the corridor. He could see more Angels up ahead, and two more Angels from his own company moving down the corridor on his left. The technicians in the engine room had now been given ample time to prepare, but nonetheless, they didn't have a chance...

---

Just as Dr Roshuan pulled the medical mask down over his nose and mouth, the sliding door to the medical bay of the Yudachi opened. A pair of medic-qualified crewmen rushed through it, pushing one of their fallen comrades in front of them on a stretcher-trolley. Greiner watched with satisfaction as a doctor immediately appeared beside the wounded man, quickly identifying the cause of the wound and helping the two other crewmen lift the stretched, with the casualty still lying on it, up off the trolley and onto the flat gunmetal slab that served both as a ward bed and an operating table. The Yudachi's advanced medical hospital provided more room to treat the wounded than did most warships, but space was still tight. The ship's Chief Medical Officer placed a presicion surgery headset on his head above the mask and quickly tapped a few buttons on the number keypad on the visor's side, entering the code to activate the headset. Immediately, the visor descended over his eyes, its transparency flawless. The vital signs of the unfortunate crewwoman lying on the operating table in front of him flickered into life before his eyes a moment later, fed to the headset by the various scanning equipment contained within the table. He paused briefly before nodding to the junior surgeon and nurse standing opposite the casualty, dressed in a similar fashion to himself, before finally pulling on a pair of mint green sterilised plastic gloves. Finally, he picked up a laser scalpel. In his mind, he ran over the account of the injury given by the two medics. The girl - she was young, he realised, no older than twenty - was an ensign, her post being junior technician. She had been in charge of maintaining the lateral sensor array on the forward hull section. The array had been hit by a blast of radiation released from Devoran weapons fire hitting the front shield arc, so the two medics had told them, and several of the tertiary mainframes had blown out. The luckless junior technician had been caught by a large piece of shrapnel that had torn straight through her right kidney. She was bleeding badly, and had lost consciousness before arrival at the medical bay. Although Roshuan had not told the two medics at the time, he had serious doubts that she would survive. Many of the medic-qualified crewmen knew little of surgery; they were trained to be able to stop a casualty from dying for long enough to speed them to the medbay and to the trained proffessional doctors, little more. They had indeed applied anti-bleeding salve, but the flow was still welling up from somewhere. Roshuan had immediately recognised that there was still shrapnel in there somewhere, still working its way further into her flesh with every slightest movement, still preventing the halt of the bleeding. He had given her priority and, weary of standing by while others performed his calling of earlier years, had elected to perform the surgery himself. Now to begin...

"Enable X-ray imaging," He said, flatly and with the minimum number of words. Time was of the essence. The nurse complied silently, reaching down with her right hand to press down on the touchscreen of a small computer console set into the bed at its foot. Immediately, the bed, the gunmetal deck beneath it, the woman, everything faded rapidly to a dull near-darkness, then, suddenly, from its midsts came the technician's skeleton, every bone picked out in brilliant white relief, supremely detailed. He bent forward, peering toward the abdomen. Sure enough, he could see three metal fragments embedded in the flesh between her kidneys. One was fair-sized, and looked jagged, it was likely the cause of the problem. Needless to say the other two had been moved anyway. Suddenly, a dull rumbling from the far-off ship's bow. Another weapons impact. The lights dimmed momentarily before flickering back to full intensity again, but the master surgeon barely even noticed; he was too preoccupied with watching the piece of jagged metal burrow further into the vital flesh around it. The medical bay was equipped with shock dampeners, but even the slightest touch could be critical. He had to get the shrapnel out as soon as possible. He looked up at the junior surgeon. He could see nothing, as there was no X-ray source positioned behind the man, but nonetheless Roshuan was confident that he wouldn't have moved.

"I am about to make the primary insicion. Brace it in position as soon as it is open." With this said, the surgeon set to work immediately, pressing his thumb down on the side button of the laser scalpel to activate it, before looking up again, this time at the nurse. "X-ray off." He said, again briefly, and in a few moments it was indeed off. He blinked twice, and with a gentle whirr of electornics the headset magnified the point just beneath the scalpel to two times normal size. Offering up a silent prayer to whatever divine entities might be watching the ultimately insignificent procedings down in the field hospital of the Yudachi, Greiner Roshuan made the insicion, the scalpel cutting through the skin effortlessly. Roshuan had performed surgery with metal implements before - all Clan military surgeons were required to be able to, for in some situations, such as total loss of power, they were the only things that could be used - and once more he praised the inventor of the laser scalpel. It not only cauterised the flesh around the insicion as it was made, preventing extra blood loss through necessary cuts, but also did not require sterilising. With the initial cut made, he released pressure from the button, and the brilliant flame of the laser flickered and died. Immediately, the junior surgeon had the magnetic clamps in place, forcing the flesh around the cut open. Greiner nodded in approval before continueing. He had already identified the position of the three pieces of shrapnel, and with his extensive experience of treating shrapnel wounds - the most common, even on starships - he knew the anatomy of the body almost off by heart. Bypassing the healthy kidney, he delved into the flesh beyond - the wound still held open by the clamps. After what seemed like hours more of cutting through the body, layer by layer and piece by piece, he was finally rewarded by the glimmer of metal, stained as it was by blood. "Bullet-remover." He said, again keeping talk to the minimum. The nurse, efficient as trained, immediately procured the powerful electromagnets designed for the removal of bullets or other metal items from wounds. Greiner took the magnet - it was small, no bigger than a pen - and inserted it down into the excavation shaft of sorts that he had created, turning it on where it neared the shrapnel. With a gentle hum of flowing electricity, the magnet flared into life. Immediately, the shrapnel dislodged from its precarious position and attached itself to the surface of the magnet. The surgeon lifted the magnet, still activated, up and out of the open wound, before deactivating it over a small, white ceramic bowl. The piece of shrapnel fell into it, clattering to a halt. At this moment the sliding doors to the medical bay again burst open, and through them was wheeled another casualty, this one screaming at the top of his lungs, his chest a torn and twisted mass of bleeding flesh. Roshuan did not allow himself to be distracted by it, but instead picked up the laser scalpel again, checked his patient's vital signs briefly, and once again leapt into the breach, searching for the other two pieces of shrapnel.

---

Outside, the clash of cruiser and concordat continued. The Yudachi was outgunned, but as yet its shields had managed to protect the ship and its crew from the tremendous firepower of the mighty Devoran guns. The two ships were engaged in a traditional toe-to-toe duel, with the Yudachi attempting to use its superior manouevrability to maximum effect, circling around the Concordat rather than simply pummelling it from a stationary position. The Battlestar contented itself to pnderously turn after the smaller and more nimble vessel, firing as it went. Most of its weapons were hitting their mark, but every now and again a shot would go wide, coursing off into the depths of space beyond. Neither vessel was firing its main guns, rather a steady, continuous stream of light Devoran weapons fire, glowing brightly in the void with the energy they contained, flowed from the larger vessel to throw themselves against the front shield arc of the Yudachi. The main guns of both vessels were between shots - reloading, recharging; the effect was ultimately the same, down time. Time for the crew of both ships to anticipated the next hit, to prepare for it, to dread it. Technicians working frantically to try and keep their rapidly overheating systems in order while the gunners made adjustments to their aim, trying to hit that critical spot identified and wired to them by the sensor operators. Engineers locked deep in the bowels of the ships' engines furiously attempt to squeeze those few kilowatts of extra power out of the generators to strengthen the shields. Sensors operators rooted through the incoming data, looking for damage, looking for loss of system capability, reporting their findings to their officers. A warship at war was a hive of activity, almost a living entity, with the crewmen rushing about within its veins and arteries and organs performing their various, pre-defined functions. And, as with everything in nature, war at space was a case of survivial of the fittest. The ship whose crew functioned according to its pre-set tasks survived. A ship whose crew functioned innefficiently, who did not perform their tasks properly, died, and its crew with it.

The Clan Asanawa ships were ready to begin another exchange of primary gun fire first; there was no warning for the Devorans, other than in a biref energy spike visible on the sensors, then a flash of brilliant light signalling the initial weapons discharge. Immediately, two brilliant red ion beams lance out from the two long, raised firing tubes running along the attack cruiser's topside, searing through the empty darkness toward the enemy ship, seemingly unstoppable, before being halted by the invisible protective sphere of the Devoran vessel's shields. Where struck by the ion beam, the shields flare a brilliant red-white colour, briefly rendering them visible, describing a shining hemisphere of thunder, fire and light. This brilliant display of pyrotechnics throws the battlestar into sharp relief, the various protrusions sticking up from the topside of its hull lighting up, with long, pitch black shadows thrown out across the gunmetal armour plating behind them. Presently, the Yudachi's mighty Particle Array was also fully charged. The massive cannon, positioned on the cruiser's underside, running down its centre, flashed silently into life, throwing out the radiant white beam of deadly energy that surged forward, through the gap between the still dimly-illuminated ion beam tracers, before also smashing against the Concordat's shields. The effect is different to that of the ion beams. Rather than an energy "spider's web" formed by the ion beams striking the shields, the Particle Array created a single, intense, sudden and short-lived flash of light and radiation, thrown outwards from the point of impact toward the stars with yearning arms, only to die once more within seconds. Eight seconds after the Yudachi's ion cannons had opened up, the Devoran shields are once more invisible; unseen, but still there. The Concordat has weathered out another round of fire from the undergunned cruiser, and soon its own cannons would come into play...

---

No Dachi watched all of this via the viewscreens, the images once again fed through to the bridge by the mindless camera drones circling the cruiser - two had been lost already, their circuits incinerated by the intense streams of radiation released by the clash of weapon energy upon shield energy. He sighed wearily, peering at another viewscreen showing a wireframe schematic of the Yudachi. The wires were white - standing out on the black background, but here and there were patches of the diagram where the wires were showing red, with these patches having dark, crimson epicentres. The schematic was showing the stress being experienced by the ship's superstructure frame. The red wires denoted damage; hull integrity was falling, and in several places integrity was approaching critical, particularly on the bow topside of the vessel. He began to run through the ship's capabilities, scratching some of them from the 'functionality certain' list to the 'functionality uncertain' list. That list was, from his point of view, a list of inoperable systems. He could not plan according to a potentially unresponsive system being in a useable state, and so the only option was to plan according to the system being useless. Luckily, judging from the position of the structural weak points according to the diagram, none of the systems were out, per se, as of yet. However, his intuition wasn't good enough. He rose from his command chair, walking to the front of the circle of raised deck plating on which the seat stood, before turning to face the Sensor Officer, seated as she was in front and to the right of the low-lying podium.

"Sensors, damage and systems functionality report." He said, before once more afixing his gaze to the viewscreen, watching the lumbering shape of the Devoran Concordat, anticipating the glow of charging weapons, the flash of light and energy that could score true and annihalate the Yudachi completely...

"Front shield arcs are down to 70% across the board, sir, the lateral sensor array is down 10% in strength. The Master Engineer reports that we have lost 5% power to the shields and 5% power to the engines." The Sensor Officer replied, giving the report cleanly and efficiently, the way it should be done. No Dachi turned his head to face her again before nodding.

"Very well. Concentrate our remaining sensor power on the dogfight to give our fighters ample guidance, and on the Concordat's interior. I don't want any of the Guards getting lost in there." He said, not waiting for a response, before pacing back over to the command chair and slumping back into it, hammering out a quick sequence of control imputs on the right armrest's number pad. He began speaking immediately.

"Engineering, I want those shields operating at full power. Take energy away from the engines if you must; we're going nowhere fast at present. Keep the engines charged, though, I want us able to make a quick getaway if our shield strength drops much further." He ordered, speaking to nothing in particular, but rather confident that the microphones concealed at various points in the chair's upholstery would pick the commands up. Sure enough...

"Aye My Lord, forwarding power from the engines to the shields. I'll be sure to keep a good head of steam pent up in the drives." No Dachi wasn't exactly sure of how his ship's engineers would manage to achieve the latter, but he was fully confident they would be able to if the Chief Engineer said they could; No Dachi had repeatedly shown himself to be at best poor and at worse abysmal and physics, but the engineers were all intimately aware of how their part of the ship - the engines and the generators and the fuel lines and the gigantic air pumps that formed the basis of the life support machine - worked. The shields and sensors were both taken care of, untill the next energy salvo hit home at least, and so No Dachi turned next to the Master Gunner, standing stiffly behind his console, his fingertips at the controls of some of the most powerful weapons ever to have existed. No Dachi turned back to the viewscreen, briefly, trying to think of possible ways around the problem of the Concordat's tremendous shield strength - a problem compounded by the ship's shield regeneration capabiulity - but found none. The Yudachi's best bet was still to try and keep the crew of the Concordat centred as far as possible on their battle with it, in order to prevent them from getting organised and locking-down the Angel Guards currently blasting their way toward the engine room.

"Master Gunner, concentrate all of our firepower on that front shield arc. Order all batteries to fire as fast as is humanely possible - the more damage we do to that beast, the more they concentrate on us and the less they concentrate on their little...ah, internal difficulties..." He said, before trailing off, absorbed by the merry dance of the fighters on screen, visible only as flickering silver specks swirling and circling eachother, with the occasional brightly coloured spark of weapon energy jumping between them. As he watched, an explosion, seeming miniscule due to the distance between them, winked briefly into life before fading out again...he blinked, suddenly, realising that he'd yet again allowed his mind to wander, before turning again to the Sensor Officer. "Give me a report on the progress of the dogfight out there - I want to know the enemy fighter contingent's strength-" He said, before pausing and turning to the Coms Officer, "Coms, get Commander Yoritomo on the line and ask them the same question; I daresay he's been keeping better track of it all than us."

"At once, sir, it will take a moment to gather the data..." Said the Sensor Officer.

"Aye, sir." Replied the Coms Officer, already hammering the message to the Hatsuhara into his console. No Dachi, meanwhile, waited for the results of the scan. He did not have to wait long.

"Sir," Began the Sensor Officer, looking up from her console, "we have lost four fighters at a loss of eight pilots. Sensors indicate that the strength of the enemy fighter contingent has been reduced to between twenty and twenty-five percent." No Dachi nodded, before turning expectantly to the Coms Officer. Within two seconds, the man looked up from his own console, ready to report.

"My Lord, the Hatsuhara's sensor screens show the enemy fighter contingent to be at twenty-four percent of its original strength. They confirm the loss of four of our own fighters. The Hatsuhara's Flight Controller informs me that the Wing Leaders report an advantageous position over the enemy." Again, No Dachi nodded, time to act.

"Coms, relay the following orders to the Hatsuhara: half of our remaining fighters are to break engagement with the enemy strike craft immediately and commence fusion bombing of the Concordat's front shield arc. The other half are to destroy the remaining enemy fighter force before joining their comrades. End orders, transmit that immediately. Sensors, watch the inside of that ship carefully and as soon as you see the Angels get into the engine room, inform me. Coms, as soon as we get told of the engines' imminent destruction, order the fighters to cease bombing. Master Gunner, order all batteries to cease fire at the same instant."

"Aye My Lord." Replied the Sensors Officer.

"Yes sir." Acknowledged the Coms Officer in turn.

"Aye, Commander, sir." Came the Master Gunner's reply. No Dachi nodded, before finally looking forward to the Helmsman.

"Helm, keep us circling the Concordat. The moment Sensors gives that report, you are to pull us back and away from the Concordat. You all saw what happened to those ships in the middle that strayed too close to their quarries and got caught in the blast. Now I'm hoping the Concordat's reactors won't go critical on us, but there's always the chance they will. Regardless, go back in after a few minutes to pick the Angels up."

"Yes sir, I'll take us out the moment it happens." Said the Helmsman, keeping his eyes on his controls like any good pilot would. No Dachi nodded before continuing his watch of the viewscreen, continuing to watch the Concordat's heavy guns...

The bridge however, was totally wrecked; consoles had molten completely, debris lay everywhere and bodies and torn off limbs lay scattered about. Instinctively, he turned his gaze towards his No1 and then, for the very first time in his life, his adrenaline levels surpassed his testosteron levels for his No1 was lying face down on the floor in front of her seat. "Alison!", he screamed as he jumped out of his seat and dropped on his knees next to her. "Alison! No!", he yelled again as he gently rolled her over. She groaned and appeared to have difficuly breathing, but much to Bogg's relief she was at least still alive. "Alison, you're hurt!" She looked up at him and with a soft voice said: "'fraid so." "But I need you!" "I know." "No you don't understand! I NEED you!" She looked into his eyes and saw they were wet with tears and a faint smile adorned her face as she said: "I know." Tears rolled down Bogg's cheeks as he stroked Alison's hair. "I-I can't see anymore. Are-are you still there?" Bogg took her hand in his own and then he kissed her fingers: "I'm still here." "So cold. I'm so cold..." and then her voice trailed off and she passed out. "ALISON! NO! WAKE UP DAMMIT! ALISON!" Bogg crawled back to his command chair and rammed a button and yelled: "Dr. Vorkian! Kim! Help! It's Alison! Get to the bridge this instant! Quickly! You have to help her NOW!"

MD: "Yes captain! I'm on my way now!"
Bogg: "Please! Be quick! It's bad!"
MD: "I'm going as fast as I can. Have you turned on the EMH?"
Bogg: "'EMH'?"
MD: "The emergency medical hologram. It can help her until my team and I arrive. There should be a big green square button somewhere on your command chair."
* Bogg feverishly sought for said button and pressed it as he found it and immediately an holographic image of a green caterpillarlike lifeform with many eyes and arms appeared.
EMH: "I am the EMH. How may I be of service?"
Bogg: "It's Alison! You must help her!"
* The EMH hovered towards Alison and immediately began to work on her with several instruments that appeared and disappeared in his tentacles. As Bogg watched it do it's work, something moved behind the tactical console. Bogg turned around and saw that it was the WO that was crawling out from under some debris.

Bogg: "Sarah! I thought you were dead!"
WO: "I had a close one, captain, but apart from these cuts and bruises I'm fine and still fit for duty."
Bogg: "Duty? Look around you! This place is a mess! We cannot operate a ship from here!"
[i]* The WO smiled. "Oh, you're right about that, captain, but that's why we have a secondary bridge."
Bogg: "Secondary bridge?"
WO: "Yes captain, it is very common among ships as big as ours. Most ship operations can be done from there as well as here. It's located in the aft section of the ship, so it's bound to be still intact."

* Bogg pondered this for a moment and after he appeared to have reached a conclusion he said: "If what you say is true, then we may still have a chance. I want you to assemble a new bridgecrew and go to the secondary bridge from where you will conduct ship operations. I'll stay here with Alison for a while before I join you there. Those bastards need to pay for what they did to Alison. Until that time, I'm making you acting captain of this ship." The WO nodded and quickly tapped a few buttons on her console. "There are hullbreaches on decks 1 to 9. I've put forcefields in place, but I'm not sure how they long they will hold, so I've given the order to evacuate those decks. The shields on the starboard section have been drained of nearly all power. I'm compensating for that by rerouting power from the port shields and I've set the particle array to AFD. Just in case some of those enemy fighters decide to come back and have another shot at us. Now, with your permission I must go and make the necessary arrangements." Bogg nodded and as his WO left the bridge, Dr. Vorkian and her team entered the bridge.

Bogg: "Kim! Finally! What kept you so long? Never mind, just make sure Alsion gets better."
* The MD moved a scanner over Alison's body. She had a worried expression on her face. "Oh dear, that doesn't look too good at all. Several cracked ribs. Some organs have been damaged. No internal bleedings, but she's lost a lot of blood. It's a good thing you enabled the EMH or she'd have been dead by now."
Bogg: "So she's gonna be alright then?"
MD: "I don't know, it's too early to tell. She needs blood and she needs it fast too. Please remove your jacket captain. Don't worry, you may get dizzy, but it won't hurt. Not much."
Bogg: "What? Why me? Why can't someone else do it?"
MD: "You and her happen to have the same bloodtype. It's very rare and if I have to go back to my office to get some, she won't survive for sure. Now, will you take off your jacket or do you want her to die?"

* Meanwhile, on the secondary bridge, Weapons Officer Sarah Muller and some other people set up bridge operations.
WO: "McQuirk, report! What's the status on our fighters?"
WC: "We've taken some casualties on the Nials, but the Hawks are still fine. We're doing what we can, but we're heavily outnumbered."
WO: "Very well, break off the attack and order all fighters to dock with the ship. We're heavily damaged and may need to retreat."
WC: "Aye Ma'am. I'll report back to you as soon as we're all back in. McQuirk out."
WO: "Engineering? Mr. l'Oven are you there?"
EO: "l'Oven here, Ma'am. Where's the captain? Is he alright?"
WO: "He's fine, but he needed to take care of other things. Anyway, I need you to do some things for me. First of all, we're leaking fuel, I want that to stop IMMEDIATELY."
EO: "I had noticed that and I've already set a team on it. It should be repaired any minute now."
WO: "Good work. Then I want you to take all non-essential systems offline and completely shut down the power on decks that have been evacuated, that includes life support. The forcefields that compensate for the hullbreaches are the only exception to this. Then I want you to disconnect any ship components that are too badly damaged for immediate repair from the main power supply to reduce the risk of damaging other systems. Power down all weapons, except for the particle array, AFD, AMD and tractorbeams. Disconnect the fusion drives from the PPP8's and connect them to the main power supply to compensate for powerlosses and to enhance the structural integrity of the hull. Once all this has been done, I want you and your team to begin repairing the damaged systems. Start with life support and then the engines; I like to have full power back. If you need any help, ask commander Redbock and his men to give you a hand."
EO: "Yes Ma'am, I'll get to work on it right away."
WO: "Muller to Redbock, come in, commander."
MC: "Redbock here Ma'am. How're we holding up?"
WO: "We're still in one piece and regrouping. I want you take command of the ADCT and MASH teams. Let the other troops help out the ADCT and MASH teams for the time being. I want you to coordinate repairs with l'Oven in engineering. Any men he doesn't need, are to begin repairs on the hull on decks 1 to 9. The MASH teams are to treat the wounded and get them back to their jobs as soon as possible."
MC: "Understood!"

* At that moment, the doors to the secondary bridge slid open and a rather pale Bogg staggered into the room. "Captain! Are you alright? What about...?" Bogg waved her into silence as he shuffled across the room towards a chair in the middle of the room and sat down in it before looking up to his weapons officer.
Bogg: "I've just donated nearly half of my own blood to Alison. I just couldn't let her die. Dr. Vorkian is now performing surgery on her. She informs me that Alison is probably going to be alright again."
WO: "That is good news then."
Bogg: "I see you've managed to find some replacements for the people we lost on the bridge. Introduce me to them, will you?"
* Bogg at the various in the room but when he came to the SO who was smiling at him, his mouth fell open in astonishment and his face grew even paler. "Hello captain! Bet you didn't expect to see me again, did you?" "Laura? Bubbubuh but that that that's im-impossible, you you're dead!" "Actually that was the body of my stunt double that you saw on the bridge. I was actually off duty, having a drink with Sarah's stunt double, but then there was this big explosion and she happened to be too close to the blast." Bogg turned his gaze towards Sarah. "Stunt? Double? You both have stunt doubles? Why?"
SO: "It was part of an experiment designed by Alison to find new ways of deceiving the enemy.
Bogg: "But I'm.."
Bogg: "No, but we had to test it first and you were obviously the best suited candidate."
Bogg: "Does she.."
WO: "No she didn't want to have a stunt double herself."
Bogg: "What about.."
SO: "No, you don't have one either. We were the only two."
Bogg: "Right, I'm glad that's sorted then. Now who are those other two?"
WO: "Well, at the helm, we have Yvonne Anderson, she's a first class pilot and can fly just about any ship. She's an expert in evasive manoeuvres and has a few other tricks up her sleeve as well."
Helm: "Hello captain, pleased to meet you, Sir"
WO: "And at the comms we have a very resourceful young man called Frymuch Leetdude."
Comms: "Heya!"
* The WO leaned closer to Bogg's ear and whispered: "He's a bit weird; claims to be haunted by an evil demon pirate that calls himself 'The Duck', but he's all I could find on such short notice."
Bogg: "Ahh, one of those."

WO: "What're your orders, captain?"
Bogg: "Just continue with the plans you had made. I'm still feeling a bit lightheaded."
WO: "Yes Sir, as you wish. "
WC: "Commander McQuirk to the bridge. All fighters have returned to the hangarbays."
WO: "Very good. Now, as you can see we have suffered some major damage. I want you and your pilots to begin a deck by deck search for wounded crewmen that haven't been able to make it to sickbay for whatever reason and then bring them there."
WC: "Right away, Ma'am."
EO: "Engineering to the bridge. We've finished pumping all the fuel into the spare fuel tanks. We're no longer losing any fuel. Other repairs have started and are well underway."
WO: "Well done, George."
EO: "Thank you Ma'am. l'Oven out."
WO: "Laura, could you scan the debris from those enemy concordats as well as the debris left by any allied ships. There might be some useful equipment left that isn't too badly damaged. If you find any, use the tractorbeams to get it on board."
SO: "Sure thing, Sarah."
WO: "Helm, that allied concordat looks like it's gonna ram that concordat leftover into the other one. Get us out of the blast radius and then out of the battlefield to a relatively safe area. We've sustained enough damage as it is.
Helm: "Yes Ma'am."
WO: "Right then. I'm engaging the cloak... Cloak has been activated."
Bogg: "You think I should say something to the crew?"
WO: "That might be a good idea."
Bogg: "Very well, Mr. Leetdude, broadcast this message to all parts of the ship. "Attention to all hands, this is your captain speaking. We've sustained some heavy damage and taken a lot of casualties, but we're still here, and as soon as repairs have been completed. So the faster you work, the sooner we'll make them regret having crossed us. Bogg out."

Actions:
-Activate EMH to provide medical attention to No1.
-Transfer power from port shields to starboard shields to compensate for losses.
-Set PA to AFD.
-Use Security Station forcefields to temporarily seal the hullbreaches.
-Evacuate the breached sections.
-Transfer ship operations to secondary bridge.
-Bogg donates blood to No1 and MD performs surgery on her.
-Return all fighters to the ship.
-Stop leaking fuel.
-All non-essential systems are going offline and power on evacuated decks is completely shut down (forcefields are the only exception).
-Ship components that are too badly damaged for immediate repair are disconnected from the main power supply to reduce the risk of damaging other systems.
-All weapons, except for the particle array, AFD, AMD and tractorbeams, are powered down.
-PA and AFD take care of any fighters that come too close. AMD takes care of any incoming projectiles.
-All 3 Fusion Drives are disconnected from the PPP8's and attached to the main power supply to compensate for powerlosses and to enhance the structural integrity of the hull. Once completed, damaged systems are to be repaired; priority is given to life support and engine power.
-MC is in control of MASH and ADCT and works together with engineering to speed up repairs. ADCT that are not used in engineering, are to seal the hullbreaches. MASH teams take care of injured people and get them back to work as soon as possible. Normal (combat) troops help out ADCT and MASH teams to speed up their jobs.
-WC and returned pilots search the ship for wounded that haven't ben able to get to a MASH unit.
-SO is to scan both enemy and allied debris for not too badly damaged, but still functioning equipment.
-Helm is to move the ship out of the immediate battlezone (and blast radius caused by Fluffie's action) to a relatively safe position.
-Engage the cloaking device to hide the ship until repairs have sufficiently progressed.
-Bogg speaks to crew in an attempt to lift their spirits and motivate them into working harder.
Actions noted
EMH activated
PA to AFD
ship under repair
fighters return to ship
ship moves away from battle
cloaking device engaged

In the deep of space the lumbering battleship continued its fight. Its weapons batteries continued to hammer at the Devoran Destroyers, only to be deflected by the shields. As the destroyers returned fire, the Victor's shields held steady, its battle scarred hull not sustaining any more damage.

Tactical: "Seems we have quite a stalemate on our hands, Captain."

Blake: "Well at least we only have to hold them off, not destroy them."

Tactical: "Indeed, Captain."

Officer: "Captain, several ships just dropped into the system. One came out of a anomoly I have never heard or seen of before."

Blake: "What do you mean?"

Officer: "Sir, it just appeared!"

Blake: "Please tell me they are friendly."

The officer nodded.

Officer: "I believe they are."

Blake: "Well lets just hope so, we have enough hostiles here to deal with. How long on the Phased Particle Phaser?"

Officer: "Nearly charged Captain."

Blake: "Continue firing standard weaponry, im not wasting valuable projectiles on these thugs."

Tactical: "Yes Captain!" In his usual loud voice.

Blake: "Commander.."

Scanners tracking destroyers

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

Well, after talking to LH, I have learned that there will be no payment for this mission (essentially, the 1 million c was the payment, and LH isn't throwing anymore money out to us ). Since there is a difference between using the money for survival, and using it to expand the already large number of RPer ships LH has to keep track of (plus the fact tha we aren't getting payed *grumble grumble*), I say those of us who have not accepted the money can do one of three things.

1) We can consider the money our mission payment, and take it.
2) We don't give in to our desires to have bigger toys, but take just enough for repairs.
3) We take a certain cut of it (say, 50%), and say that's our mission payment
4) We stay the course, and don't take any at all.

I'll probably be going with whatever Ur_Quan decides, since he's one of the few left who haven't taken the money yet, he has the most damaged ship, and he and I now seem to be in a p*ssing contest.

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

Regardless of the current state of payments I am still not taking the extra credits, sicne in effect I have not earned them so can never consider them part of mission payments to begin with, due to the situation which rbought about their introduction.

I'll probably be going with whatever Ur_Quan decides, since he's one of the few left who haven't taken the money yet, he has the most damaged ship, and he and I now seem to be in a p*ssing contest.
Well then, just let me begin by saying that I remember you used to have the phrase "Inspectre: hypocrite of the year" in your siggy before you changed it to your current one and, well, seeing we were having this contest, I think I'll lay claim to that title now.

In other words, I will be taking the full million and apart from just being spineless, I will motivate my decision.
1) I need at least some money, as repairs cost me 150K and I don't have anything left. I could sell my dreadnaught hull, but I'd only get 1/3 of the new price for it and that leaves me barely enough to buy a cruiser in which I surely will not survive the next mission.
2) Apart from the amount of money, there's not much difference in taking half or full amount. The reason for taking it is the same, so we might as well take the full share.
3) Taking only enough money to pay for the repairs won't get me very far. I cannot upgrade my systems like everybody else and I'll be the weak link once we face our new and upgraded enemies, making me take even more damage and needing more money for repairs, thus getting myself into a downward spiral (especially since I don't have the superabilities that most veterans seem to have).
4) I do believe that all of us deserve some reward for the mission, seeing we just prevented the extinction of the entire human race by saving a bunch of people that expect us to pay them for repairing the damage we suffered to keep them safe.

So yes, I'll be taking that million and I'll say 'Thank you very much Lady Hawk' and then I'll begin tweaking my ship.
(BTW, I admire Darkling's decision to still refuse the credits, but I believe he's doing it for the wrong reasons; e.g. he does deserve a mission reward and he could certainly do with a bigger and stronger ship, despite the fact that he is keen on playing with a small ship.)

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

Hmmm...I'll gather the Yudachi repair money up by lopping bits off my procurement plan tomorrow and edit the post accordingly.

Post-battle actions
Concordat #8 will be carved up and the important parts (such as that missile surpressor system) will be analysed by Clan Fleet Intelligence and Clan engineers.

The scraps that prove to be of some value either from a tactical/strategic or technological standpoint will then be turned over to Fleet Admiral Garonia Darkstorm, with the various Clan personnel having already taken their own notes.

The uninteresting scraps will be melted down using the factory ships, and whatever useful alloys/compatible components are present will be distributed among the various ship captains in the fleet in order to try and lessen the cost of repairs (don't know if this will work or not, but hopefully it'll be able to knock five percent or so off most peoples' costs).

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

*Cid stared at the holo-map as the battle continued, the missiles hitting but not doign enough damage.*

SO: Sir, the ships are turning about and begining a run to retreat, FTL drives engaged...

*Cid stood up as he watched the Devoran ships suddenly burst to FTL speed away from the battle, the concordats following after and fighters self-destructing not long after that.*

No1: Looks like they really don't want us to know too much about them...
Cid: Clearly...
SO: Sir, I'm getting signal of a Shraan Concordat heading this way with speed, escorted by a singular Destroyer.
Cid: A Shraanian Concordat? That means...
Comms: Sir, we have the Liovanda hailing us.

*Cid took a step back, only to flop back into his chair.*

Cid: Put them on...

*The holo-map dispersed and revealed a female Captain looking no older than twenty, but held the Shraan Remnant uniform non-the-less.*

Woman: Greetings, Sector Commander Cid Killer, have we arrived a little late?
Cid: Yes, you missed the party, the fireworks... everything.
Woman: Damnit... Nevermind, I am Captain Uliya Lai of the Shraan Remant. You father has offered you one of his Concordats to congratulate you one your success over the past few years. He also offers you any ships that go with the Concordat, including the fighters and the Lio-Dankus.
Cid: Captain, it is an honour to meet a Lai Sister... We will agree to comandeer the Liovanda, so long as the Amodyte Bridge crew take over whilst the Liovanda Bridge crew takes the Amodyte.
Uliya: Agreed, however I will remain on the Liovanda bridge and shall help you out, if you, sir, do not mind...
Cid: No, it is fine with me.
Uliya: Good, we are sending a fighter to pick your bridge crew up. Strangly enough, we have no shuttles... as neither do you.
Cid: As long as you have support to defend me and my bridge crew, it is fine by me.
Uliya: Excellent, then we'll begin amediatly. Until you arrive, Sector Commander...

*The transmission ended.*



----------------------------------------------Liovanda Hanger--------------------------------------------------

*Cid got out of the fighter and turned around to face two lines of troopers, facing each other with weapons ready. Cid wasn't into the 'Emperor Walkway' style, but he could grow used to the Liovanda crew. He walked halfway up the aisle of troopers and met Uliya face to face, he looks were stunning and she still looked like a twenty year-old. Perfect blond hair, with bright blue eyes and fair skin, average weight and build, but slightly smaller than average.*

Uliya: When you have finished admiring me, Sector Commander, shall we continue?
Cid: -snapping out of gaze- Ahem, yes... sorry. So my father really offered my the Liovanda as well as it's escot, the Lio-Dankus?
Uliya: That is correct, since he is interested in your Kylithium mining and science efforts, he thought it only fair to hand you a ship to continue the Shraan Remnant cause. Obviously the Liovanda is no where near the size of a Lactum Mother or a C'raask Dominator... But you know the rest... The Liovanda is the home of Kylithium experiments, although we still lack the Pro-Tek Fighter, Swarm Hive Bomber and RIpper Fighter technology.
Cid: and there's me thinking father gained the Pro-Tek schims with the K-Scanner designs...
Uliya: It's suprising what happens over time... would you not say?

*Cid and Uliya reached the end of the trooper line and the entrance to the elivator.*

Uliya: Your stop, your crew await you within the bridge.
Cid: And what of you?
Uliya: I have not had much sleep lately, I need to rest. I will meet you on the bridge when I am not so sleepy.

*Cid entered the elivator and shot upwards towards the new bridge, the Liovanda bridge.*

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

Well folks, between everyone urging meh to take the money, Ur_Quan's recent defection (I'll get you for that, traitor. ), and my own insecurities about my e-p - er . . . ship, I guess I'm reversing my decision and taking the money after all. :eek:

That is, if LH approves the changes.

Note that everything marked as FREE is what I owned before the changes, and simply moved onto the new ship. The actual credits shown are what I’ve paid, and it should all add up to 499,950c when added together. For some reason, Kronos apparently had 2 extra External mounts, so I added an Assault Boat and a little surprise for whoever makes the battle go against us next time . . . . .

Things that I sold went for 100% of what I paid for it. If this has changed let me know. Ditto for if I’m somehow overbudget despite checking, or have too many slots spent somewhere on meh two ships afterall. And without further ado, here’s the two latest iterations of meh small fleet.

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

Inspectre, I think selling at full price was only at the beginning of the thread....... Normally it's at 50% of the price, unless, like in the old days, you were l33t and had own shipyards // powerful friends and stuff.

And stuff..

I think.

*Throws away his 50 cents.

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

I can confirm that the normal price is 50%; I asked LH while I was upgrading the Yudachi and the Hatsuhara.

Edit: And I'm not sure if you're allowed to "upgrade" hulls like that either. It'd strike me that you'd have to sell the Attack Frig first (20,000 C return) then buy the Attack Corvette hull anew (60,000 C), so you'd end up paying 40,0000 C for the new hull instead of 20,000 C, the difference between the two, as you've done. I don't know if you got that approved or anything beforehand, just pointing it out...

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

I've fixed all of the costs except the Attack Frigate -> Attack Corvette, since I don't know how LH works upgrades for ship chassises. Due to an error on my part, I found some more money by altering the Cluster Missile reloads. Instead of buying missiles individually, you purchase them by the reload. So now I was able to make up the costs for the selling, and 7 Cluster Missile reloads besides.

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

How come everybody suddenly seems to have this magical twin turret mount upgrade? Where do you get them from? I want one too.

P.S.: Mr Inspectre, why do you take only 500K instead of the full 1000K? I suggest you spend the rest as well, because from what I've gathered from the storyline, you're in for a hell of a lot of trouble.
