E-PEB: (4) Powder Miner, TFF,10e10, Kashyyk

Black market
Place: WTS 15000 Organics, 11 metal per 10 organics (1), Andrea

[Kashyyk]

In addition to those revisions, I suggest the following black market deals:

WTS 5,000 Organics | 10 metals per 9 units
WTB 2,000 Energetics |  4 organics per 3 units
WTB 5,000 Metals | 4 organics per 5 units
WTS 5,000 Organics | 1 synthetic per 8 units

WTS 3,000 Transplutonics | 7 metals per 2 units
WTB 2,000 Energetics | 2 Transplutonics per 3 units

They're all varying degrees of stacked deal. The first four are targeting the liir, fo see what resources they'd consider selling at a bad rate in exchange for Organics.

I'm also hazarding a guess that the hivers are low on Transplutonics, due to their love of nuclear weapons and generators. The second two are just to see if I'm right.

I'm also mixing WTS and WTB, as well as amounts in order to make it less obvious that they're all from the same faction.

EDIT: Andrea seems to agree.

L'Epee Des Astres
[Efficacy: 6, 10% Discount]
If the Epee is going to be a disposable missile whose lifespan consists of being mass produced, hurled across the void, slamming into something angry, and then probably exploding, it's going to need friends. And a support group. Maybe a sharing circle.

Point is, we're going to need a fuckton of them. Considering that they require no human lives to be risked, the creation of massive factories dedicated to producing their simple components is something that everyone can get behind.

E-PEB
[Efficacy: 4]
The E-PEB is a project to turn a simple, elegant product into an even simpler, more elegant form. The resulting E-PEB is a tiny wonder that will undoubtedly propagate back to the civilian market in a variety forms, and more than one cellural phone company has announced plans for an infinite charge phone based on the concept. As soon as they get the phone-scale microbores generated perfected. That might take a bit, but where there's a will, there's a Gaian finding a way to do it with Boreholes.

The ship-scale variant is produced to a considerably smaller scale than her larger peer, with many of the previous essentials like baseplate and radiation baffling completely discarded. Destabilization of the current system would result in the sudden destruction of the wire, and would likely necessitate the interior be cycled and purged in order to maintain a clean environment, there's very little chance of it breaking in any significantly dangerous manner.

Many scientists still object strenuously that this flagrant disregard for the conservation of energy cannot continue without cost. Just because they're not sure what that is yet doesn't mean it's not coming.

Electron Perpetual Energy Borehole (E-PEB) Generator: | 5T 0O 110M 20E 13S | Capacity: -5 | Power +50 | A modernized and even sleeker PEB system, the E-PEB does away with the usage of a braked particle beam and instead uses magnetic potential differentials in order to accelerate electrons through a superconductive wire. Efficient, safe, and lightweight, the E-PEB is a revolutionary clean generator.

2. Production Point Expenditure
Total Production: 45,380

CargoMaster B (x5) - 19,320pp
Epee (x33) - 25,641pp
Epee (x1) 419/777pp

This plan allows us to repair and refit all three cruisers at Gaia, fills out five CargoMasters, each with 3x GREAT-ER and 1x Bumble drone, and produces 33(!) epees.

The only issue is that we are 53.5 synths short. We have a few ways around this. We can scrap some cargomasters to harvest their bore drives, we could build less hornets, or we could convert raw PP into synths.

I don't expect this to be our final purchase plan, but I'm hoping it will generate some discussion.

[Powder Miner]

I would probably fill out one or two fewer cargomasters, make the earlier-discussed testudo refits, and make a few less hornets; the C&C on the hiver front is going to get a lot less use out of its hornets than will the two chasers, so I wouldn't mind removing a few hornets from it

Spoiler: Shield Bash (click to show/hide)

PHASE ONE:
Rapid Escort Forays and Epees separate off into Far Field, Epees begin blink acceleration
All Expeditions, Strike Foray, Shatterscort Foray immediately enter (and through phase one try to stay at) Inner Engagement Range of Deliverances

Expeditions and Companion Forays focus all Death Ray fire on Deliverances, especially Deliverances trying to flee through bores
-Deploy all Hornets, 50/50 Shattergun/SRM, deploy between Expeditions as defense according to weight of incoming Relentless to each fighters
-Both Forays deploy similarly, providing Bore Sheld assistance, Shatterscort providing PD

If Deliverances successfully scatter through bores or deploy scattered, Expeditions and escorts scatter and attack, pairing up to chase when necessary.

When all Deliverances killed, begin Phase Two

PHASE TWO:
Epees and their escorts enter Near Field range, stay moving to avoid Sunbeam fire, bore away to elsewhere in NF if approached by Wraths

If chased by Wrath, Expeditions allow themselves to be chased for long enough for large majority of enemy fighters to die
-Hornets deploy 50/50 Shattergun/SRM, Forays bore fighters through along with Expeditions
-Hornets focus on killing as many Relentless as possible
-All Death Ray Fire focuses on Wrath Sunbeams and Hangars
-Testudo CnC attempts to use VFI Death Ray to catch Relentless riding in Wrath’s gravity well with fusion explosions
-Testudo CnC flees into Near Field when Testudos destroyer
If not chased by Wraths, Expeditions engage chase and do same, keeping one foray among chaser expedition(s) and one among jammer expedition(s)

When large majority of enemy fighters dead, advance to Phase Three

PHASE THREE:
Expeditions continue as before

Rapid Escort Forays and Epees join chase

All four Forays group up, bring Epees and fighters to enemy Wraths, acting as a single unit for chase purposes
-Hornets 100% Shattergun, protect Epees
-Forays provide bore shield cover to Epees when possible

If one Wrath present, all 12 Epees strike and attempt to extract
If two Wraths present, 6 Epee strike per Wrath and detonate
If more Wraths present, only strike two Wraths

Expeditions, of course, execute Epee-wounded Wraths

Spoiler: Conservationist’s Nightmare (click to show/hide)

PHASE ONE:
Both Rapid Escort Forays take Epees out to Near Field, protect them from any spines or incoming Val’den
-Epees build velocity
-if attacked by Val’den, these bore in next to the Expeditions and the Epees hide behind the expeditions while they gain velocity

Expeditions and Shatterscorts immediately enter Engagement Range and begin killing as many Val’den as possible
-if Val’den manage to flee the slaughter, the Expeditions do not pursue
-if Val’den or the enemy fleet as a whole enters via bore, just like last battle the fleet fires on bores evenly and switches to Val’den from Vala’cra’denka once they are visible
-Shatterscorts provide PD and bore shield assistance vs spines

Once Val’den are dead or scattered, begin Phase Two

PHASE TWO:
Expeditions attempt to fire upon Vala’cra’denka Railguns
-if any new Liir combat craft are deployed, Expeditions shoot those instead
 
Forays bore Epees in to Knife Fight Range, then themselves next to the Expeditions

If Vala’cra’denka attempt to flee, all Expeditions and present Forays begin chasing them

Epees split evenly among up to two Vala’cra’denka, and strike, attempting to extract.

After Epee strike, Expeditions move to inner edge of Engagement Range, deploy Hornets, 75% torpedoes/25% Shatterguns, follow up with torpedo runs, move closer if needed to resupply Hornets after first run, repeat torpedo runs
-start using Death Rays to execute wounded Vala’cra’denka during this
