Mandat de l'impératrice des Cieux - Imperial Princess Troubleshooter Space Opera Quest

Knowing is half the battle. But the other half is not running out of ammo halfway through the engagement.
 
I'm going to go against the tide here a little bit and vote:

[X] Risa Hayao (Fleet Combat +)

We can lean on our politicking to obtain supplies and gather information more than we can lean on our combat skill. Bigger ships are after all, bigger targets and when was the last time KANTAI KESSEN won anything?
 
[X] Ayako Tomioka (Logistics +)

On second thought, if our fleets are going to be very heavy on supplies, we might need them, also we're hindered by this "Showing up with the grandest most powerful fleet around is all fine and well, but as a princess of the blood, it behooves you to fight fairly and justly, in a manner befitting your station, as an exemplar to others. Which means that you generally must fight a matched, even battle with your foes."

The combat lady seems nice but she doesn't really fit into our need to keep things nice and fair, neither does the intel guy.

It's more like, if the enemy sends a CA squadron at you, then you take your BB and screen and closest possible matchup to that CA squadron. If you're facing down a swarm of corvettes you give them a few chances to surrender before you return fire.

Yui has to approach combat in a certain manner, but she's not going to be retarded about it.

"What's that, you say? Hopeless? Why, very well! One does not fight merely to win!"

Speak softly and carry a big stick.

Would prefer to be able to actually use all that lovely firepower
 
People, logistics shouldn't be as much of a problem, considering that our character is second in line for the throne, so it's likely she has easier access to supplies, meaning that we aren't really in need of a logistics advisor.

Now intel, on the other hand, is much more important here, considering how generally useful intel is. Also, the intel advisor could serve as a pragmatic counterbalance to our honorable combat-obsessed princess, since being obssessed with honorable fights is not a good thing, as it makes our character very vulnerable to tactical geniuses and combat pragmatists, so we need to start working on removing that obsession.

Someone need to oversee the supply of hair care products for all those tails:thonk:
Oh, and to keep the fleet operational I guess.

The empire is falling apart from within. Being second-in-line isn't going to change the fact that sometimes, there just won't be logistics for us to run off of. A modern day carrier is the size of a small town. Scale up that for space and we're talking likely tens of thousands of people serving on battleships and battlecruisers. Logistics isn't just ammo, it's spare parts, food, lubricant, equipment and so on. It's also the supply train that follows the main body, keeping us 'anchored' to a base and keeping the supplies coming. It's ekeing out the most efficiency out of thrusters, its cruising speed for a formation and a million and one other little things to keep the fleet in the most optimal shape.

Anyone is going to be vulnerable to CREEEEEED style bullshit, that's the whole point of CREED. Combat pragmatists will be crushed under a wall of steel (folded ten thousand times in accordance with the honorable ancestors) because it doesn't matter if you have destroyers and cruisers when the enemy has unlimited battleship works.

How goes the saying again, about professional and logistics. That and the stomach thing. Bigger and better fleet = more needs for hardware maintenance and supplies

Having access to supplies isn't actually the same with being able to manage it.

Among other things, you need to project what you are going to need ahead of time (and it's a LOT of things), how fast you are going through them, and how likely you can got replenishment amidst campaign. Then there's need to ensure that the supplies you've got goes right where it belong/needed. Inventory and distrubution isn't simple. There's also need to figure out how to best spend the supplies, how to balance conservation with mission demand. Finally, shit happens. Supply lines are almost sure to be lost or reduced at some point. Then someone has to figure out how to keep ships fueled and the holes patched.

Even if you can have all the supplies all you want (not necessarily guarantee, especially when your fleet need the most expensive/cutting edge spare parts) in the imperial capital depot, that doesn't mean anything if you put wrong order.

Logistics officer could do pragmatic as good as intelligence officer. In fact, I would bet a good logistic officer can do pragmatism better!


EDIT: It's all trade and balance. All the advisors' specialty are important. I just rather rely on Logistics, since it meant the ships more surety the fleet get where/what it need doing, and survive when shit happens.

(deleting & reposting to avoid double post)
Also, uh @Whiskey Golf What 'Sustain' stat means.

Because Yui's only got one plus, and if that's what I suspect it is, we are going to starved for logistics.
