New sensor contacts in row 7

"Morze here, I've got one on my tail. Can't shake him!" Morze calls out.

"Got you covered, eight." Joker shoots back. "Outrider down. You can unclench now, trooper." A brief pause preceded by a flash to your right. "Nate, get yourself and your knuckleheads back, you're too exposed out there."

You sniff. "Got it, lead. Clean up those outriders, people, then pull back towards the ships! Maintain a one-click distance." you transmit - the last thing you want is those little bastards getting past you and taking pot shots at the capital ships. Although, they seem satisfied with fly-by attack runs on your E-Frames instead. You rotate your E-Frame, keeping the main thrusters engaged for a nice, smooth arc - partly to give yourself a little tactical visibility, partly to give yourself a good shot at the Amphi-Assault E-Frame you had just targeted. As the ponderous craft struggles to recover and stabilize, you give it another dose of blaster fire. This time, several flashes of the coherent energy track across the oval-shaped E-Frame's center section - you don't quite split it in half, but a couple of the blasts come out the other side, and the main engines sputter out.

A salvo of missiles flies by to your left as you complete your turnaround maneuver and begin thrusting back towards the Endeavor, your distance indicator slowly counting down to one click. The missiles find a target, another amphi-assault according to your projected map, shortly before it disappears. "Good designation on that target, Doc." Morze sends.

Lestari, Em and Jumper are already back to their positions, pumping blaster fire into the outriders chasing you - judging by the multiple explosions, something definitely connects - but the number of red symbols on the sensor map doesn't decrease as much as you'd like.

"Damn, too many outriders." Jumper calls out. "Nate, you've got two on your tail."

You cringe. He's right - not only that, but you've got another missile lock alert. Juking the best you can, you fire your control thrusters up just in time to cause the missile to fly by you and detonate harmlessly. But that takes you into the line of fire of those two outriders - for whatever reason, your E-Frame chooses to show their blaster shots as purple-tinged white. Many fly past you, but not all - your E-Frame pings, shakes and groans as a pair of shots connect, sending simulated pain signals through the cyberlink. The status indicator helpfully shows that your auxiliary targeting computer is non-functional, and one of your control thrusters seems to be firing uncontrollably in the wrong direction. You can compensate, but that'll make it harder to evade.

"Shite, you all right, Nate?" Em calls out. "That looked painful."

"Yeah, I'm fine." you reply, cringing a little - that neural feedback is something else. And you're pretty sure you can smell burnt circuitry in your cockpit. "Wasn't going to use that targeting computer anyway, the attached blaster is out."

"Maybe I'd have been able to help out if I didn't have to keep towing this hunk of junk around." Em quips, her voice radiating resentment.

"Focus, four." Lestari retorts.

@NickAragua
can engineers repair hull hits? or just systems?

might as well ask.

and when we hit amphis is it always their missile system that gets disabled if they aren't destroyed?

 

[DiscordOxymoron]

..Engineers can only repair Systems (unless QM changed that). And those are some nasty disables, dear me..

Falcon and ExoFighter/Flight on C6 Amphi-Assault then ExoFighter retreats to C5? An additional [RED] Order for one of the Engineers to start repairing systems? Trooper's Low Profile Systems maybe..? Or start repairing the Shoulder Blaster + Automatic Targetting? Repairs have a nasty consequence of not being able to do [BLUE] Orders whilst being repaired though so maybe Low Profile is better? @_@..?

Nschwerte's Team on taking out E7 Amphi-Assault whilst they can and out of the Outriders in E6 before retreating back to E5?

Engineer B goes to E5 to take out the remaining Outrider in E6?

Recon Evades and assumes a Low Profile whilst on Overwatch in preparation of F6 Sensor Contacts? Though if the enemy rolls more than three enemy contacts, that's a most guaranteed down if RNG does that.

Wraith... I'm not sure. Wraith needs to go forward? We need body blockers to spread the aggro though there is no issue at the moment. The problems I'm seeing is the clusters of Sensor Contacts. I do know Columns D and E and the row under the Endeavor will help take out enemy targets though hopefully it doesn't come down to it. @_@;

As for Orders..

[X] Recon - Ian 'Jumper' Lorenze
-[X] [BLUE] Evade - Negate the next incoming attack of any kind.
-[X] [GRAY] Low Profile - Negate the next incoming attack of any kind.
-[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. (Any adjacent enemies if any [priority on low HP targets that can be taken out in one shot] otherwise Overwatch in own space/tile.)

I'm surprised Engineer B based on the logs followed the Order rather than the usual RNG behavior in previous logs. Why is that QM? ..? Is it because of someone giving a proper order? .-.?

what we could do is, I give trooper a second red to shoot the outriders
melee shoots the amphi and hopefully disables the missiles
eng a and melee go back to E5 while eng a grapples trooper back, and then move eng b into E5 and have them repair trooper's low profile.

imo the shoulder combo takes too long atm.
We don't have to worry about the sensor on D atm cause of the empty space.
and if we don't want to trigger any sensor contacts, recon can go back to F4 and fighter goes back to C5, fighter should probably do this anyways tbh.

We might want Wraith might to come forward to row 5 to set target guidance on something that shows up from the two sensor contacts, so that two people, probably fighter and falcon, can missile it in case an amphi shows up.

with everyone either moving into the sensor to attack or move back to free LoS
and someone in E destroying the amphi

Just systems.

Amphis have missile, blaster and engine systems, so the damage may have various effects.

He's aware of Plague Doc's LOS and also not suicidal.

The RNG comes into play when there are multiple roughly equivalent options and nobody's made any recommendations (a recommendation weighs the action pretty heavily towards itself)

Risky of letting two Enemy Contacts in F6 get to F5 or heaven forbid stack up in E6 with E7's two Sensor Contacts though not to mention it's risky in general to let them have a flank on the 'screen' on row 5. Though doing a [RED] Order is probably a good compromise on letting Trooper A (we're getting a Trooper B!) shoot down the Amphi-Assault in E7 (now that we know it has 3 systems... I am not sure what taking out the drive system will do, maybe 50% chance to move but otherwise remains stationary?). Engineer A and Melee could take out the Outriders in E6 and retreating or only Melee whilst Engineer A pulls Melee back so that the latter can afford an Evade. Then hopefully Engineer B is 'influenced' to take out the remaining Outrider in E6. I'll edit Recon's Orders accordingly once the others has theirs voted in.

..8 Turns ETA.. we can do this! @_@;

The one Amphi-Assault you should worry about is the one in E7, and Wraith can surprisingly do so since the Communication Jamming doesn't require LoS.

Though shooting at the Amphi-Assault and Jamming an Outrider in E6 is probably better since we'll eventually not be able to shoot at the Amphi-Assault and Outrider only has an own-tile attack.

I thought that enemy exo frames have the same system as us where their systems can get damaged.

I'm destroying both the outriders and the Amphi this turn then, so there is no need for wraith support



I could be able to handle either the 2 contacts on f7 or E6 next turn and may be able to give support if the rolls are favourable. Slingshot is 3 attacks and a free reveal and the troopers gives an additional one.

But I would really like to repair the trooper grey evade too. Getting Automatic targeting online is pretty much impossible cause it needs two repairs, but low weight ratio will give trooper back an additional action.

they do, but that only comes into play if we don't take out all their health.
Like the amphi in E7 last turn, since we only hit it once it lost 1 hp and a system because of damage.

Click to shrink...

..yeah, I don't get it, the logs on system disables not dealing HP damage is due to the fact of Sensor Contacts getting into ExoFleet tiles and without Evade or Low Profile or getting intercepted by an aircraft like last time. 'Direct' Attacks are guaranteed to take out HP. I am just not sure since I keep double-checking the combat logs but that seems to be the trend until an odd or freak accident happens. .-.

 

[NSchwerte]

Click to shrink...

But that plan is going to lose us an attack, leaving either an outrider or the Amphi alive this turn.

I don't expect trooper to need an evade next turn because it will be surrounded by friendlies with the slingshot crew taking out the contacts to the south and recon + the capitals dealing with the eastern contacts that get revealed this turn.

I prefer the higher damage output to getting the system back a turn sooner.

It's also going to free up wraith to support something else

It's because it's going to be a calm round that we should take this chance to fix the system.

it's very easy to get swarmed here if we're unlucky with the rolls.
