On that subject.
@Durin
1. Who will be designing our battlebarges? I kinda hope it'll be a cooperative enterprise between us Vanaheim and Byzantium?
2. How powerful do we think it'll be?
We're still not going to be able to make em for a while, the metal hasn't been made yet
Eh might as well throw this in.
3. The modifications I've made to Cobalt sufficient?

I am dumb.Its now rare, only a few veins have been discovered and they're rather small + currently the tech priests have been unable to replicate it artificially.

You said that we can reliably target up to commodores. Brigadiers are the equivalent rank in the army as far as I know.
1. So does that mean we would target the equivalent rank in the army too ?
2. Or would we be able to target higher ranks in the army since the army officers are more likely to be with their soldiers, i.e in the transports ?

Unrelated to the current battles, but for actions, do you intend to increase the scale past 'Perfect Critical Success'? Our characters (Hey, Ridcully!) are reaching the point where they can both hit Nat 100 and be over 200 over the target.
(I suggest 'Transcendent Critical Success', if you lack a name.)

Seems more like missing it when the purpose was stated in updates.

There is really only one purpose to a reserve though, to provide reinforcement when necessary, that doesn't, well shouldn't, need to be specified.

Thing is though people assumed the reserve was for us not for Mar Sara/keeping the rest of the Trust safe.

Did they? I assumed the reserve would be used as necessary as the situation dictated, which is the standard use of a reserve, I have no idea why people thought the rest of the Trust would shrug and let Lin burn, that makes no sense whatsoever.

I dunno I saw people who seemed to assume the reserve was waiting in the wings to come in and crush the fleet, similar to how we did Garkill, when in actuality its a strategic reserve as you said.
I don't think anyone thought the Trust would let Lin die though that in and of itself is unlikely.

Dunno what help they thought the trust could be other than fleet support, some were adamant in an oversized all in caps way that we are on our own and no help would be sent at all.

Well I can't deny that for the moment we are on our own, but hopefully not for very long.

Aye we are, but we chose to be on our own, we voted not to have Trust fleet support assigned to the Avernus system before the crusade dropped in keeping that reserve nice and large and risking us needing to wait for support if the crusade fleet was large enough, I hoped that would of been a factor when it came to people making their plans for the war, it was surprising to find out otherwise.

[X] Plan Against Expectations
-[X] Low- Make a fighting retreat from the orbitals as soon as the enemy gets into range, leaving your defences to cover the retreat. This will preserve your fleet and inflict some damage to the Abomination Fleet.
-[X] Above Dis: Bluff- Attempt to hold the voidspace above Dis until the Abomination Fleet makes play to take it. This is effectively a bluff to convince them to to take the voidspace above Dis.
-[X] Secundary: Light Forces- The Light forces will be kept back from the main battle and therefore not easy targets. - Attacking the Light forces will be challenging but will further cripple their anti-harassment capacities.
-[X] Primary: Main Fleet-This will be the main attack force and therefore the easiest target- This is the default option if you want to do as much fleet damage as possible.
-[X] Make subtle of the information that Ridcully has gained form the enemies plans- Medium bonus and small chance of them realising you have the plans.
Screw it, I'm voting for this other plan it's perfect for what i want, the reserve can do its job and help with the main crusade fleet when it arrives, it's best for us to preserve our fleet to help when they arrive and use it for harassment when they send their transports back and when the rest of their transports arrive, Durin has said that its unlikely all of their transports are here so more could arrive at any time. Durin has stated that going blatant for this defense is less effective than during harassment so this saves the plans for when they will have the best effect. This plan will maximum how many transports we can take down over the next month which will be the best way for our fleet to help save Lin, only the ground troops can help kill him even if the fleet goes kamikaze they are unluckily to be accurate enough to hit Lin wherever we put him so using our fleet to attack the threats to Lin who is the main objective for this war would be the best use for them in my opinion. No amount of void superiority will guarantee them a chance to kill Lin, it helps them but they NEED the transports to win they dont need complete void supremacy to achieve their objective, it helps them but only if the transports get through.
We are set up to harass the crap out of the crusades transportation of their troops, it could be amazingly effective and have a huge effect of the coming fight for Lins life.

I'm getting the feeling we should stop with the questions.
Anyhow, do people think the trick we pulled with the thunder beast herds can be replicated if they end up in Elysium?

Probably better, the thunderbeasts devastated the orks just because they were in the way, they will actively hate the crusade forces.
It will be enthusiastic stumping, less just confused stomping.

What? No they aren't, they are pretty damn tough (well, as far as escorts go, they will never be particularly durable, if you really want a tough ship you should build capitals).
