Turn 006: The Fissure Point
[Bridge Officer-A]: Captain, Enemy crafts are overwhelming our fighter screens, requesting fire support over the Grav-Plate.
[Captain of [ENEMY VESSEL]]:Navigation, start scrambling the Warp Drive, Get every fighter out there.
[BO-A]: We're loosing the Gravity plate, we need reinforcements.
[Captain]: Keep me informed, [BO-A], Communications, cna you relay the Mission Data away?
[Communications Officer]: Negative, A Enemy fighter craft has crashed through a deck and ripped out our primary communications, we're down to backups, and they won't have enough throughput.
[Captain]: Our Finest hour...

Red-lining your engines as they miraculiously fail to explode, you accelerate towards the enemy Primary objective, you analyze several critical pieces of information.
First of all, the lead-weights that replaced your missiles are just that. Lead weights, that are detachable. They aren't particularly special unless their insides were replaced with explosive or other such that weighed as much as lead, but you can't quite tell. It doesn't have any acceleration, so unless you slam it into something with your own craft, you have to dumb fire it. (~range 1-2, Only against no maneuvering craft.). They are by no means a "power-Ball". They are just a ball, of lead with all the horrifying details that it encompasses.
The Enemy Warp-Drive is nested deep into the Enemy craft, to the point where only a small amount of bombardment with the Mother-Ships Mag-Cannons can destroy it, But they are being fended off by the enemy crafts Gravitational Plate.
Judging from the scans, The enemy craft has around a couple
ACTION TURNS before its Warp-Drive is launched, and the Primary objective is failed.
You enter into a range at which both the Primary Objective and your Lead-Weights come into range, and release them on a firing arch. They will collide with the enemy ships Grav plates next turn in a balistic Arc. Meanwhile, a spray of point-defense flak blankets your area. Suddenly being released from a half ton weight of Lead, your engines breifly fail, just in time to fail to dodge the rain of Flak. Dozens of fist sized pepper your ship, but your Battle-Frame remains functional, despite the Diagnostics Program exlaiming that it shouldn't be.

KASHYYKBattle-Framd Diagnostics complete. Damaged Sensors are noted to not be significantly higher then standard sensor accuracy diviations of the Mark II Platform, and your missile count is correct, not broken; You have zero missiles. The Locator has detected only the Primary target, the Secondary target has not been detected, and simply not noted on the Locator, until the point which he went onto an attack vector towards you.
The Tracking-Speed of Gabe's weapon mounts is exceeded by your deft maneuvering, letting you empty more than half your MOras into the exposed Grav-Plate.
Point Defense Batteries are reluctant to fire at you, as evidenced by only a couple autocannons letting out occasional warning shots in your general direction.
The Gravitational Plate Flickers, once, then twice, Before localized gravitational anomalies occur, and with the deadly quiet of space-bound sensors, the metal plates scream as they begin ripping each other apart.
Primary Objective has been accomplished. the Gravitational Plates of the enemy Ship has been comr[omised by the assault of several Battle-Frames, along with the vetted assistance of Armageddon Squadron. Mag Cannons immediately begin firing with earnest. Beware of transitting slugs.

TOPHATFire both sidewinders at SECONDARY-TARGET 001, then maneuver to engage it with the Pounders.
Pursuing the Secondary Target, it twists and turns as your on its tail! It commits to an aileron roll, ending up right behind your craft before a target lock was achieved.
You twist, you turn! Energy weapon bolts barely graze your hull as the targeting laser reaches lock, and hte Side-winders fire off.
They slam into the hull of the Primary Objective.
The fuel leaking from your manifold is now ignited, and you have a trail of fire behind you.
