What I suspect.

BAD:
- Thank you admiral, for so thoroughly and brutally dispatching my enemies, but now I'm afraid, you have outlived your usefulness.
- Ask for payment, etc
- ???

GOOD:
- 4th Gen Fighters instantly
- Fleet become 150%
- Promotion
- The Admiral becomes Steele
- Get a new fleet
- ???

Hooboy.  Recommend the 3rd DD rendezvous with a prepared barrage? 

Hopefully this can be settled with a meeting of minds. Enioch should be able to handle this brash young upstart no problem.

Perhaps the Commodore can be recruited as an ally.

"Operation Ragnarok", talk about pretentious!

I'd almost like to keep this guy around just to see what name he'd give to a "real" engagement!

Seriously, I'm going there. In character, I cannot ignore a summons from a Delest family member and hope to retain my position. Out of character, that fleet looks tasty tasty. If I play my cards right, I guess I could earn some gratitude from this upstart popinjay. I'm hoping for a 150% fleet, or a promotion but will be satisfied with any bonus, really.

Barrage is prepared, of course.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Maybe you can take the quote in Jellyfish's sig and use it here if you meet this guy:

"A weapon is only as powerful as its wielder. With this weapon, you'll be but an annoyance, which would greatly dishonor it. With this weapon, I can change history. With me, this weapon can shape the universe."

Modified:

"A weapon is only as powerful as its wielder. With this fleet, you'll be but an annoyance, which would greatly dishonor it. With this fleet, I can change history. With me, this fleet can shape the universe."

Spoon, if my roleplaying would affect the outcome of this Random Event^TM, I'm thinking we should roleplay the meeting of the two admirals. Maybe a series of PM exchanges, which will be joined into a single post in the RP thread?

Oh, and what is the buffoon's actual rank? Rear Admiral, Vice Admiral etc?

[Jellyfish]

Ten bucks say he's not even military, just a spoiled prince with a big name. I'm half tempted to go there myself and overwatch to ensure that whatever happens, happens smoothly, but I'm way too far.

Yeah I was thinking of something along those lines. PM's or a seperate thread so everyone can see it unfold. Your call.
His rank is High Fleet Admiral, because those are the joys bestowed on a Delest family member.


The United Guilds of Commerce have done the calculations and have determined that the higher payroll would be well offset by the positive propaganda. And thus decided to bestow the rank of Vice admiral on Andrew Bradwater and Yuen Ah Luc. Let me know what trait you guys want.

There are also whispers in the halls of the CRF HQ about a upcoming series of promotions for the brave CRF admirals on the frontlines. Be sure to keep your ears open for the rumours.

And in news for Sol Force, the Kaze II, Ray IV and Clarents are starting to roll off the production lines in large numbers. You guys can expect these to arrive at the frontlines soon.

[Enioch]

Hm. PMs, I think. I'm not sure I'd like everybody else to be shouting suggestions at me during what is supposed to be a private meeting. Should we do it now, or after the turn?

[Spoon]

Pm's it shall be, after the turn.

[AndrewofDoom]

Okay I get promoted, I choose Glorious Bastard Aggressive Leader.

[Jellyfish]

Since, if I recall, only three allied fleets can be in one system at the same time, I have changed the orders to go to Virgo.

There will only be three fleets. You, me and DJ. You don't need to go to Virgo.

Fleet: 1st CSA
First Action: Major, Defend
Second Action: Minor, -op do-nothing

Why don't you want to kill the Nordera

EDIT: Also, staying in Hydra will block someone else from coming in.

The 2nd LSF is already there and will hopefully perform a double Resupply, and two other fleets are coming:

Fleet: 2nd DD
First action: Major, Resupply
Second action: Minor, Travel to Hydra

Fleet: 3rd SF
First Action - Minor - Travel to Hydra
Second Action - Major - Defend

My smartphone can't zoom in on the map for some reason, I'm afraid I'm out till sunday evening. Will probably give orders on monday.

True. Missed the UGCR's orders going to Crux. Changing mine (and hope Spoon isn't very confused)

[Lorric]

NO!

The deadline is Sunday. Please trust me and perform a double Resupply. You got hit by the Nordera's suicide attack and took 60% capital ship damage, but the system is now friendly because the Nordera are gone, so you can double Resupply.

[SpardaSon21]

Any idea where the 1st LSF is needed?

[Lorric]

Any idea where the 1st LSF is needed?

Hi. For you I think you should double Resupply:

1st LSF Fleet:
- Fighter attack strength: 14 (19+5+1)
- Capital attack strength: 7 (14+1)
- Fighters at 40% Strength, 4th Gen
- Capital ships at 46% Strength
- Morale: High
- Combined Arms on Cooldown, Available again on Turn 8

Then, next turn, your position in Virgo will be excellent for deciding which front you should head to.

EDIT: You'll also be in a position to... "interject" into that meeting in Aquarius if necessary...

Almost forgot you. Thanks. Don't worry about Spoon though, it's easy for him. He doesn't need to pay any attention to that until the deadline hits and the orders become final.

He can post his turn on monday (first read, then think, then post ):

Next turn: Sunday 29-09
Order deadline: Wednesday: 25-09

If the space elves want to stay in Hydra I'll move to Tamy and get ready to have some fun elsewhere like Vega (or support a fellow DD Admiral in Aquarius *was just passing by*).

Thank you. I mixed them up somehow. Probably because I didn't expect it to be so long to the next turn.

I thought it was deadline this Sunday, turn this Wednesday.

Okay I get promoted, I choose Glorious Bastard Aggressive Leader.

Woohoo!  And "Master in Logistics" for me, efficiency is the motto of the UGCR (and I love not needing missiles in the supply line )
Edit: I was wondering, there seem to be a number of fleets resupplying near or on the front lines.  What are the exact triggers for the "extra damage if attacked while resupplying" condition?

Resupply: Can only be done in a friendly system with an open supply route, resupplying will replenish 30% of the fleet's strength and raise the morale back to the fleet's base stat if it was lower than that. Take care not to get attacked while resupplying, its bad for morale and your fleet will take extra damage. Resupplying takes 10 resouces from the global resource pool.
