Blaster attacks can be affected by LOS, but only those with a range of two spaces or greater.
Allied units do block LOS.
Basically, you can pick any space. Then, draw a line from the Wraith to that space. Pick a random sensor contact that is along the line to be revealed.
Mostly, I gave that upgrade as an option so I don't have to keep saying "can't scan that space, no LOS", lol.
yea,and then use your gray ability to evade

just letting you know, We can't attack sensor contacts. They can only be attacked after they've been revealed by entering in the same square as one of us.
I've forgotten, @NickAragua when we attack, can we say that we're attacking any enemy that enters our space?
Like how stealth and corvette does things.
I doubt it, but I might as well ask

..if you mean during the Enemy Phase, that feels more of an 'Overwatch' action. If you mean during the Player Phase where we move into Sensor Contact then shoot at the enemy then it's like normal like before?
..something like this. .-.
ah, ok that makes sense

Not going to have time for an update tonight, so leaving it open for an extra day.
..hmm.. I'll probably let Recon handle F6 for now until @NSchwerte somehow positions his team. @_@;

..oooh.. three units in the 'spawning point' of Column E.. interesting. The only one not Evading is Engineer A.. I'll probably let Engineer B remain as is in E6 in case a Flank Attack roll pops up from Recon's or ExoFighter's Sensor Contact Roll..
I could just give engineer an extra blue move
Edit: done eng a has an extra blue
Edit 2: slingshot? Is that what we're calling the eng/melee combo move?

"It's just an Outrider and another blip, we can take 'em!" Em transmits, her voice full of excitement. She's ready to kick some ass. "Come on, five, I'll give you a tow!"
"Acknowledged." Lestari replies coolly. Your E-frame projects the characteristic metallic *thunk* sound of a mag grapple attaching to her "Sergeant", and the two of them jet off towards the approaching sensor contacts. A missile streaks past you and to the right, targeting one of the outriders - a small, brown-painted, oval-shaped fighter. Reports from the carriers indicate that those are equipped with "just" a blaster but pretty fast. Not fast enough to avoid Plague Doc's missile though - the craft shatters when impacted by the warhead - you doubt there's anything left. Josh moves forward as well, targeting the central of the three approaching outriders, taking it apart with one of the large construction E-Frame's blasters.
You sigh, watching Em and Lestari pull forward, and fire up your own main engines. "Seven, take care of the left flank. I'm gonna back those two knuckleheads up." you tell Jumper, who quickly acknowledges your transmission and sends the little green Recon E-frame rocketing off in that direction.
As you advance, the "single" sensor contact resolves to three E-Frames, designation "amphibious assault", which rapidly spread out now that the jig is up and they can't pass themselves off as a single contact by flying in a straight line formation. Large, ovoid, painted with wavy blue and brown camoflouge stripes, with a weapon-laden "arm" on each side. You have no idea what the hell the point of the camouflage is, or why they're "amphibious" when the closest water is in the Endeavor's H20 tanks. But they pack a lot of ordnance - blasters and missile launchers. Lestari engages a rapidly approaching outrider, perforating the light craft with her blaster - its engines sputter out and it simply stops accelerating, tumbling end over end into the void. You briefly wonder if it's achieved system escape velocity, but that line of thought is interrupted by a shrill tone emitted by your E-Frame, along with a red "missile lock" alert displayed on your projection.
You quickly cut your main thrusters, then locate the incoming missile, rotating your craft so that your flight vector will be perpendicular to the approaching warhed. You wait until it's pretty close, then light the thrusters up again, along with some control thrusters for good measure. The alert disappears, to be replaced by a pleasant blue "missile evaded" message. You let out a breath, then try to locate the source of the missile. You think you've got it - one of the ponderous amphi-assault E-Frames, firing at Lestari. Gritting your teeth, you aim your blaster at the target lead indicator and let loose several blasts of coherent energy. They make contact, and a piece of the target comes off, a burst of air venting out the side. "That ought to get him to back off a little!" you call out, then cringe as your E-Frame rocks, the flashes of nearby blaster fire displayed on your AR projection. A quick glance at the damage indicator shows that your shoulder blaster is no longer functional. "Hey, I was gonna use that!" you call out to nobody in particular.
"Uh, two, four, five, watch your backs - you've got additional sensor contacts closing in." Joker calls out.
"Thanks. We noticed." you reply through gritted teeth, looking over at Lestari's E-Frame. She attracts a lot of fire and gets winged a couple of times, despite pulling a fancy loop maneuver and your help - a missile goes off too close, while an outrider zips in and pings her with a little bit of blaster fire.

[] [BLUE] Afterburner
- Move one space in the grid in any direction OR negate the next incoming attack of any kind.
[] [BLUE] Evade
- Negate the next incoming attack of any kind.
[] [GRAY] Nimble
- Take any BLUE action that has not been taken before
AN:
Request going forward - please format your plans like so:
[X] E-Frame Name
-[X] Deployment zone if necessary
-[X] Order 1 (just the name and any designated coordinates/targets, no need to include the description)
-[X] Order 2
-[X] Order 3
This will allow the automatic thread tally tool to catch them properly; it wasn't a big deal when we didn't have too many people but now I'm starting to get worried I'll miss somebody's order.

[X] Falcon
-[X] Blue: evade
-[X] Red: Gatling - outrider in C6
-[X] Gray: Order Blue - Engineer
Also, melee's been hit so we'll have to do something about that.
maybe melee, charges into d7 attack something twice and engineer b pulls them back to d6, I'll give them blue prevent them from getting hit. I'm not sure how hits work, So if they get hit by something else, do they get destroyed?
but also, that is unfortunate, they've piled up in three of them.
edit: trooper was also hit

..oof. That's rough on the system disables.. I think the same happened to Engineer B with the JumpTroop missions when they went to land near one of the Sensor Contacts and was tagged with Aerial Assault or something? The logs mentioned some of the Sensor Contacts going either left or right on top supposedly always going up though their current behavior differs otherwise. A 'pincer' attack on both sides kind of mindset I guess or maybe there's a 'commander' unit somewhere hidden?
[X] Recon - Ian 'Jumper' Lorenze
-[X] [RED] Blaster - Attack any target within one space, if no target immediately available, will attack random target in own space after hostile action phase. (Outrider in F7 as priority, any adjacent enemies on the nearby tiles otherwise, else an Overwatch none available.)
-[X] [BLUE] Evade - Negate the next incoming attack of any kind.
-[X] [GRAY] Power-To-Weight Ratio - Move one space in the grid in any direction. (F6 to F5)
EDIT: Priority change on Outrider instead due to likely swarming tactic thus the need to prioritize lower HP targets.
EDIT2: With the other orders/movements voted in, decided to let Recon retreat back to the Guiducci's tile due to three adjacent (two potentially) hostile contacts.
EDIT: ..we should probably focus on the Outriders, since the Amphi-Assault has 2 HP, unless we could deal 2 damage per turn safely. Taking out the ones with 1 HP means less potential attack instead of being swarmed now that I think about it..

The cluster in E7 for sure, a [RED] order preferably though maybe a [BLUE] order for Melee to Evade, those are a lot of enemies. Shoulder Blasters being disabled on Trooper is unfortunate, but at least he can guarantee having two saves. Seeing Melee clearing out two units at once with Charge + Blaster, but a bit risky due to being downed to 1/2 HP. Engineer has a guaranteed [RED] action if he does a [RED] Magnetic Grapple combo with Melee. Trooper can only attack once with either Left or Right Blaster due to Shoulder Blaster being disabled. A total of 4 potential enemy takedowns, not counting any additional [GRAY] Orders. We might need to back up one tile upwards after next turn (and every time the fleet move upwards every two turns) since we want everyone to be able to be on the Endeavor tiles before the End of Turn 10.

yep, we shouldn't have provoked row 7
but melee can't stay in row 7 much too dangerous, they have to move back into 6 some way,
I'm taking out the outrider in c6
what we could do is move exofighter into d6 to finish off whatever survives in d7 and then either move back to d5 or stay in d6 and evade, it would just mean we'd have a 2x sensor contact that we won't know about. in c6 next turn
edit: wait, I don't think allies will impede missiles, so wraith can missile them. instead of exofighter moving, but we probably would want exofighter to move back once so we don't immediately trigger the 2 sensor contacts
we could move wraith into c5 so they can reveal those contacts next turn, not this one (we have enough to deal with rn)
I'll give melee an evade, and then we hope they don't get shot
recon would have to probably shoot the out rider
and then trooper and eng A destroy at least one of the enemies in their square.
I think they should back up into row 6 as well tbh.
My preference for the kill is the amphi, because next turn one of them can help recon deal with their amphi after moving back into row 6.
I don't know if we should use a scan this turn tbh.
And everyone should evade as much as they can.
edit: we could also just make melee full retreat and have eng b shoot the outrider, and deal with the amphi in d next turn, or the outrider depending on how we want exo fighter to move

Might want to be at the front to deal as much damage though... the objective is to make sure not one of the capital fleet ships falls here with secondary objective of us being at two specific tiles before the end of Turn 10. @_@;yep, we shouldn't have provoked row 7

Like, Falcon shoots at C6 Outrider, ExoFighter moves to D6 and shoots at Outrider with Engineer B taking a shot at Amphi-Assault (Engineer B's actions are RNG unless 'suggested' to which increases the odds of them doing it) whilst both are Evading and taking out the Outrider and putting the D7 Amphi-Assault unit to 1 HP. Wraith can move either southwards to join the assault on the enemies in D7 (taking out the Amphi-Assault) or go to C5 and Scan C7 and launches a Missile (the latter is risky since there's two Sensor Contacts there that still needs to be rolled). Though this is just my thoughts and it's still up to the other pilots at the end of the day.
Recon is... well, fine I guess? Worried about the G6 and F7 Sensor Contacts that they may jump him (the one at F7 has a bigger chance of going to E7 though the longer Melee, Engineer A and Trooper are stacked there). There's still the Amphi-Assault afterwards being one-tiled ranged and 2 HP worth each..
The E7 cluster is worrying, since judging by the logs, it's usually 50-50 on either going up or at a nearby ExoFrame: the latter has increased odds the more there are in said tile, so it's currently a 3/4 chance they'll go for the latter aka D7 to F7 will most likely jump them next turn on that 3/4 chance, the remaining chance is going upwards.

It's damaged, and has lost the usage of a subsystem (missiles, in this case) as a result.
what's this in reply to?
for keeping melee up front, or for staying in row 7?
And yes the objective is to protect the capital ships, so this is a defensive battle at the end of the day.
We don't have to travel deep into enemy territory to do this.
like melee got a hull hit because we activated e7 which spawned the amphis that took care of melee's evade, and then the next sensor contact moved into their space and spawned the outrider that hit them.
imo, being aggressive here is more punishing, and isn't really worth it.
alright, so eng A and trooper can destroy both of them.
I think they should destroy both and move back.
@NickAragua just to double check, can wraith missile something in D7?
I think so from the resolutions but I want to check.
but that's my two cents, it comes down to everyone else's decisions at that point.
