If I understood it correctly, distance just doesn't matter. Skill with IT regards the ability to reliably teleport, and most importantly the speed and how much concentration it takes.

There's a big difference between "take a few minutes of concentration to teleport" and "it takes a fraction of a second, to the point you can do it out of combat".

Depending on how much concentration it takes to maintain a pre-calculated teleport solution, that might be enough for the bombardment team at least.

ah, also I don't think that interstellar teleporting is an elite talent? From what I understand distance doesn't matter. I think the limiting factor is simply that you can only feel really strong ki sources that far away, so usually you just don't have a "beacon" to teleport to.

Galactic navigation - possibly by sensing stars, which is doable if you know genki dama - is either an elite talent or like an extra skill. The elite talent system here is confusing.

[X] Your plan. Personally go out and get those descriptions. You will succeed, and the enemy will know that somebody of your strength just buzzed their elites.

Fuck it, I'm willing to be a little risky at the moment. Do this and then get out as fast as we can.
 
Stress. Go big or go home? Honestly worth considering disabling or destroying some of the ships as we zip by them all.

Can you clarify the timeline we're working against? If I understand correctly, we have about six months until the prophecy comes due, and like a week until the Prince leaves this system.

Futuresight has shown that you'll be found if you enter the ship for reconnaissance, but that you won't even get close enough for good information if you try past a certain point. That point is rapidly approaching. You'd say you're maybe a couple of weeks out at this point.
 
[X] Bugle's plan. Force the Prince to defend his fleet, then engage the elite and rely on the team's skills to get clear afterwards. Fast, and it would get you the information you need, but if things go wrong, they go wrong fast.

YOLO
 
[X] Bassoon's plan. Use scrying to divine the information you need directly. You'll need to find a way to get close undetected, but if you succeed, you'll have everything you need. If you fail, Bassoon is in very close quarters with a powerful enemy, and the team needs to act fast to avoid being compromised. Potentially, they'd face the unpleasant dilemma of carrying a prisoner in hostile territory.

[X] Lyre's plan. Focus on helping Snare hack public surveillance cameras to get enough information on the elites to identify them. Much slower. If you can't get it done on time, you're bumping up against your deadline.

I think 50% chance of getting what we want risk-free before trying anything else is good.

Tactics for the Just Buzz Them plan:
*Do it in Multiform, in Masque. Vary each form's power levels a bit.
*Wear disguises.
*Shoot ship engines, unoccupied docking collars, fuel tanks, whatever you can to destroy mobility without killing people; this is the cover story, but what makes it a good cover is that it's also very helpful to your cause.
*Reflect on whether maiming champions is a thing you're willing to do. If you actually force retirement, it does lead to fewer deaths...

We've been training them up for a reason. This is where it pays off.

Forgot to comment yesterday, I'm delighted to see this back again!

Sometimes you've got to take a risk.

Prefer going slow - I'm not even sure if these two are mutually exclusive? Seems like it might work out to do lyre's plan and then if that doesn't work out just fuck it and try bugle's plan.
Also hype for backness!
Not a fan of rushing *quite* as hard as the other plans want, but I get why you'd want to.
 
Interesting to see everyone being so gung ho after so many attempts to go for low risk moves. I suppose people are running out of patience and finally want to get things going.

The result so far. I'll be leaving this open a bit longer as I work on updates elsewhere.
 
Poptart, remind me how write-in tactics work in this quest. Do they just get incorporated if they're compatible with the winning plan and seem like good ideas?
