SPACE MARAUDERS - Deployment time

[Harm94]

do guns unjam outside of combat?

Well someone has to remove the jammed catridge from a gun.

[Tingalz]

do guns unjam outside of combat?

yes

Here is the current situation, the green dots being you and the red dots being them. The iconian ship you were shooting at earlier broke away and is headed towards the rest of the fleet. Anything tactical you want to do, say now.

[Aces]

Does the concentration of asteroids increase the deeper we go in or is it just the same?

[Tingalz]

somewhat, but never at dangerous levels.

[comr4de]

throw asteroids at iconians with tractor beam

[Aces]

somewhat, but never at dangerous levels.

Would they make practical cover?

[Conan]

probably

if so, have everyone fly down under the fleet and into the midst of the asteroids and engage them there

and don't split up; since they outnumber us survival depends on focus-firing on enemy units.
what are the stats of the frigates we have?

[Harm94]

Do that thing that leads for futher story development.

[RedGajin]

i dont think going head to head with all those enemies would be exactly healthy for our not dead

destroying the fleet is not out mission, our mission is to destroy the mining facilities. might try asking those ships if they can distract the iconian fleet long enough so we can at least damage the other facilities to a point where their production is lowered significantly. idk just thinking that going straight on with the fleet would lead to our deathfailure of the mission.

2 ships vs 5 fresh iconians + one damaged one

yeah i don't think our allies have a death wish

and the iconians are probably not stupid anymore and would break up their fleet to engage you.

what we need to do is somehow draw them out one by one and pick them off. dodging through the asteroid field could allow that, and if we need to make a quick getaway we could just warp out using the asteroids as cover.

[Harm94]

Demand that they send in cruisers instead of frigtes.

im saying our two ships distract them, not go head on with them. as in pretty much do exactly what your saying we do, we can have them split up and they can just lead the iconians through the asteroid field. the iconians wont be stupid enough to keep sending ONE ship after three enemy ships, we would get wrecked. not to mention that gives them MORE time to call in more ships, which is bad.

at the very least im guessing we can at least wreck one mining station, and then get to the other one and do a bit of damage before we encounter another iconian ship.

the problem with that is all they have to do is break off two ships from their 6-ship group to attack us while the rest go for the 2 allies, and we'd all be boned.

even sending the damaged ship + a fresh one at us would bone us anyways, considering our current ship stats. and without knowing the frigates' stats we can't make a sound decision here.

well if we are really gonna be that careful then we might as well just leave, running through the asteroids is a perfect way to get surrounded. i mean we cant die anyways so might as well do a little of that risky business.

agreed, then.

give the stats of the frigates too, tingalz, when you update
