There is a IC thread, posted a few pages back. Gimme a second to find a link.

EDIT, here:

I know, but that was just a bit of fun. It didn't seem to fit with the main thread of the game

[Glass]

Bump, because people need to see this.

[Tyrant Leviathan]

Game thread needs love too. Think it's page 3-5.

When posting actions for the next turn, try to follow this format.

Spoiler for character sheet/ship

Mission/research goal: Put what you are trying to accomplish or discover. Escape a situation is a good goal. Shoot an enemy, perhaps not so good.

Preparation: How you prepare to accomplish your goal: Do research, lay traps, send scouts ahead.

Do this even if you are a leader, as right now no one department has enough operatives to really justify having a leader in place at the moment. Thanks!

[Sudurandom]

It doesn't look like we'll be opening up trade with the Dominion so unless someone has a smuggling mission I'm thinking I should work on setting up contacts with them.
Here's my proposed turn

Spoiler: Tav Kelleran (click to show/hide)

Name:Tav Kelleran
Race:Human
Department:The Diplomatic Corps
Role:Operative
Skill:Charm, bribery, and intimidation "Trade"
Liability:Memorable
Tav is skilled at convincing people to do what he wants(e.g. not bothering to search that crate of "perfectly legal spare parts") He uses this and other methods to expedite the transport of personnel and cargo that would otherwise be delayed at customs.

Ship:The Starfarer
Class:Smuggler Courier
A small fast ship capable of rough field landings. It is configured to carry small high value cargoes or a few passengers. 

Goal:
Tav attempts to discreetly make black market contacts on the dominions non-capital world(marien 6?).

Preparations:
The Starfarer will try to appear to be an independent trader.(Is it possible to jump out and back in from a different direction to be seen ariving separately from the fleet?)

If it's authorized, bring some generic trade goods to sell as cover.

[Madman198237]

You *probably* won't get anything done quite yet. We've apparently boarded and taken control over *their* battlecruiser...so we're likely going to be in a position to demand anything we want/need.

EDIT:
I mean as opposed to trading nicely.

[Khan Boyzitbig]

Not to mention we could blackmail them and threaten to tell the Empire about their dealings with the pirates.

[Sudurandom]

Both true. Do you think I should work on the rebels then?

[Glass]

Yes. We're almost certainly siding with the Rebels, and the best alliances start with trade.

[Sudurandom]

Yes. We're almost certainly siding with the Rebels, and the best alliances start with trade.

But I'm not a trader I'm a "trader". My kind of deals are not likely to endear us to the government.

[Taricus]

Well, you might want to hold your horses here. I mean we CAN blackmail the dominion into co-operation.

[Tyrant Leviathan]

Well it is up for the brass for info use. I want to sell my completed project to the rebels for trade. But I hope my obsession roll lands on weapons. Dominions n scum must die.

[VoidSlayer]

Black market contacts are always welcome.

Anyway, I was planning to launch the battleship in a suicide run towards their planetary capital then cripple the engines and destroy the boarding ships, all except one which my forces and the ship crew can escape on.  It is called plan musical chairs.

[Madman198237]

Well, I'd keep hold of their battlecruiser, as it's still somewhat fighting fit...at least compared to BL's. Remember, the only crew on it is what's left of that frigate's crew...but they managed to overpower the entire crew of a battlecruiser and take the bridge.

Alright, Void, do you get on Discord much? It's more convenient than B12 for rapid discussion and adaptation of plans. I'm going to outline a different plan.

Have your Skyjumpers and any other combat personnel spread a web of traps throughout the ships. Traps, defensive fire positions, rabbit holes, whatever. Give your Skyjumpers as many advantages as you can, hold on as long as you can. The bridge crew needs to focus on disabling as many hostile warships as you can. If you can down those cruisers, then BL might have a fighting chance, crippled though he may be. Oh, and I'm going to try and get more information out of C2man on Discord.


My questions (Just in case C2 checks here first) are basically:

What Dominion ships have moved to the formerly-enemy battlecruiser's area, and which ones remain near *our* battlecruiser. Also, can BL get his weapons operational/did they ever stop working entirely?
