Re: Forum game: Rules/Discussion

What's so special about the 1st LSF? Perhaps they have Cyrvans in their ranks?

That is exactly what is so special about the 1st LSF.

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

If you're talking about the JGASF, they were seperate from the LSF I believe. If not, there were only five Cyrvans with them.

Re: Forum game: Rules/Discussion
Spoon: I don't know if Defend already does this, but it should count as said fleet doing a node blockade and forcing the attacking fleets to focus on them.
Interesting idea. I gotta think about this.

Spoon, if the 1st UGCR releases it's mercs from contract, can we save 5 supplies if they are annihilated that turn afterwards?
Sure

(I hope the FuraZy do not have another subspace barrage up their sleeves).
I'm feeling generous today so I'll explain how their subspace barrage works:
They can use it for both actions, it has no cooldown and its flat damage. the only restriction is that they can't use both actions to target the same fleet.

So, maybe blitz/retreat would be better than blitz/resupply for the 4th SF.

No, we'll be able to kill them if they try that. Spoon just said they can't strike the same fleet twice and it does 20%. The 4th SF can take that with it's Resupply.

My memory is fuzzy,

But was there not 5 that we knew of (who were active and reserve pilots), and a certain percentage of the JGASF was Cyrvan-crewed?

I don't know. It's possible, but I thought they were Terran-crewed. Maybe the Angel itself might have been different.

From the Wiki, I think I remember some numbers somewhere but I dunno...

Joint Guardian Angel Strike Force

The Joint Guardian Angel Strike Force is a joint project between the Terran and Cyrvan navies. Students from both races receive their training at Abyss station and after five years will end up serving on a Guardian Angel class carrier, which will be the center piece of the new battlegroup. The program is not aimed to increase the fighting power of both races but to encourage cooperation, interaction and friendship between each other, so that both races will understand each other better and that a war will never break out again.

Each year there will be a new Guardian Angel class carrier for the next class of graduating students. The 1st JGASF has been assigned to LSF space. The 2nd will be assigned to CSA space, the 3rd will be assigned to LSF space again and so forth.

Abyss station is a large space station orbiting the wasteland of Abyss Prime. It has design traits of both Terran and Cyrvan architecture. Functions as the primary trading hub between the two races. While it has a strong shield generator, it is only armed with a few point defense systems.

Re: Forum game: Rules/Discussion
I'm not going to ask Andrew to commit suicide to save the 2nd UGCR (IF he volunteers I'll consider it, and not before).  Ergo I'm assuming that the 2nd UGCR will hold the hierarchy at Kardoen for two turns.  There's a long shot to save both fleets... if 1st UGCR retreats this turn AND the 2nd UGCR is promoted next turn (;7) AND takes "Breakthrough Specialist" AND there's enough room to retreat two systems from the DoomStack AND not be adjacent to the 5th Nordera... (did I say long shot?  I really meant a Hail Mary).

Regarding the north, the current plan sounds good. If the 1st Zy/Fura retreat to Crux after the pounding they take, the remaining Cordi can dish out 48/40 damage to one of the remaining fleets, probably one of the two SF.  That'd probably leave them in good enough shape to consider blitzing after the 1st Zy/Fura and finishing them off next turn, while the 1st & 2nd CRF attack the blitzed Cordi fleet to knock them down to critically low capship health.

Just to confirm, blitz 1st Fura/Zy, away to Formalhaut, Resupply, right?

DJ, that's an illegal move. You can't Blitz things from outside the system. I don't think you even have Blitz. Spoon, you need to add the cooldown information for Blitz into the Fleet Status box.

Spoon, what have the Hierarchy done, if anything, in the systems they conquered? Right now, we've either retaken or visited every system that fell under the Hierarchy's control.
