The only caveat here is the F6 Sensor Contacts rolling another Flank Attack if they go (very likely) towards Recon at F5. I'm not expecting a Hull Damage but potentially more System Damage if they end up 'spawning' in E5 (before being shot by Endeavor, though Allied Phase seems to take place first over Hostile Phase now so chances are highly unlikely. And we'll be getting Trooper B 'Greenhorn' next Turn, so we should be more relieved on the firepower front. @_@;

Lowering our DPS is guaranteed to get us swarmed tho
the only thing this turn that could be activated are the 2 sensor contacts on F6 with everyone else being/ moving to row 5, we don't have to worry about going swarmed atm.
And even those sensor contacts can be avoided this turn if we're worried about it and with jumpstation joining as a new trooper next turn that's even more firepower to deal with it.

Yeah, but the 2 sensor contacts to the south will probably keep slingshot team busy already without additional leftover activated units.
If we have enough firepower to defeat the enemy without problems then we have enough firepower to keep them away from Trooper too
the two on E7?
we don't have to worry about those for at least two turns.
the only ones that we have to worry about right now are the two on f6 and maybe the one on b6 if it moves over to the c collumn.
we are in a combat lull atm, it's the perfect time to do a repair for when combat really picks up later

I prefer to keep the combat on a consistent mid level instead of high and low phases. Proactively destroying the contacts now on E7 will allow us to keep stuff under control.
what?
the only thing you can destroy in E7 is the amphi, we can't target sensor contacts, unless that's been changed for this mission.
And since you're moving all three units back to E5, those sensor's aren't going to activate for at least two turns, unless you decide to charge into them next turn when they probably move down to E6 and in that case having the evade fixed is just a good idea.

This turn I'll destroy the units in E7+E6 and move to E5. The contacts on E7 will move to E6.
Next turn I will slingshot to take down the contacts now on E6 to prevent them from going to E5 and wreaking Havoc at the end of that turn.
The trooper is not going to charge in, only shooting it's blaster while getting repaired and melee will be back in E5 after the then because of the slingshot manouver
y'know what, go for it.
you have control over those units, so it's your decision.
Preferably middle, on the 'left' side' since Nschwerte's Team has a Trooper covering the 'right' side. Spreading the firepower. The 'two center columns' where Endeavor is less likely to be 'crowded' compared to the corners/edges with the ExoFrigates.
..or up to Greenhorn on where they want to deploy.
On the one hand, there is fewer Exo's on Oliwia 's side, but on the other, the other trooper is damaged with less firepower available
Depends on you at the end of the day where you want Greenhorn to be deployed I say. Everyone has a part to do in this team so we could do as much as we want as long as we cover each other...or up to Greenhorn on where they want to deploy.
I will go with recon back him up

Hmm, good question. As written, it wouldn't work, since "move" is a blue action.
However, now that I think about it, that practically prevents the repair ability from being used at all, since there's not really an opportunity (especially in this scenario) to have an E-Frame stand still for a turn. So I'm going to relax that rule a little and say that neither E-Frame can use any Evade-type actions, but a single move by each is ok.
Just to be clear - the turn currently being discussed, turn 4, your guy is still in the hangar. Next turn (turn 5), I'll designate some deployment zones on the map and you'll have your own orders section.
thanks was just thinking where to go after deployment

Raw Plan/Resolution:
LCpl Nathanael "Nate" Weaver
"Easy Squad, maintain one-click distance from capital ships." Joker transmits. "Let's clean up these guys and get ready for the next wave. Josh, see what you can do with Nate's E-Frame."
"Roger that." Josh responds.
You cringe - your head is still ringing from getting blasted by those outriders. And, in fact, they're still on your tail, purple energy pulses being projected onto your field of vision as they fly by your juking E-Frame. Scowling, you kick what remains of your control thrusters into action, twisting your E-Frame around and catching one of the ovoid craft with a few shots from your blaster. The hostile craft's starboard half is shredded and something explodes as it tries to turn to keep up with you - the outrider continues forward on a ballistic trajectory. You quickly scan for its wingman, but Lestari's got your back - said wingman flies a little too close to the humanoid "Sergeant" E-frame, and Lestari takes the opportunity to slice it in half with her laser cutter, the two halves continuing on, slightly separated from each other.
"Thanks for the assist, Lestari." you call out, continuing to twist and turn while heading to the rendezvous point transmitted by Josh.
"You're welcome, Nate." she replies.
You frown - a missile lock from behind you. "Dammit, why's everyone picking on me? Buzz off!" You accompany your request with some blaster fire. You're pretty sure you connect with a shot or two, but the bulky amphi-assault keeps steady and the missile lock beeping turns more rapid and urgent.
"Don't worry, I've got you covered." Em calls out - a missile flies past you, annihilating your would-be attacker.
"Thanks, guardian angel." you transmit, smirking. "I owe you a B-Complex."
"I think that's two you owe me, pal." Em replies, laughing.
A glance to the left shows Joker and Morze eliminating their lone opponent - another amphi-assault. Forced into a less-than optimal evasive path by Morze's missile lock, it runs into some of Joker's blaster fire. While it's trying to recover, the missile hits, and the target disappears in an orange flash.
"Nate, match my designated flight vector so I can take a look at your busted-up rattletrap." Josh transmits. You sigh with some relief - most of the sensor contacts are at least two clicks away, which should give you a little bit of breathing room; maybe Josh can get that misfiring thruster to unjam.
"Hey, I've got some weird sensor readings here." Jumper begins. "You guys better... holy crap!"
Suddenly, your comms explode with panicked transmissions as your E-Frame begins to wail missile lock warnings. You briefly lose track of the situation as all you can think of is to engage your main thrusters, which works - the missile loses track of your E-Frame. Of course, that prevents Josh from actually having any time to try to deal with that misfiring thruster, but, in the grand scheme of things, you feel it's better not to get nailed by a small, flat-tipped but powerful Neosapien warhead.
"They're getting through. Guiducci, better brace yourself." Jumper reports. You're pretty sure you see him firing at something which explodes shortly thereafter, but you're surrounded by sensor contacts - Stealth-class E-Frames. Humanoid, with feet that look like hammer claws, all with purple paintjobs. Time slows down as you try to figure out where to go, what to shoot at next and what (if anything) to say.
"Hey man, I can't fix you up if you fly off!" - Josh, likely.
"Shit, I'm hit, missile launcher out!" - definitely Em's voice.
"Got one. Sustained minor damage." - Jumper, probably.
"Main batteries, fire at will. E-Frames, stay clear of designated fields of fire." -Ensign Steinwender's voice. Likely the hostiles are within weapons range of the Endeavor.
"Guiducci to fleet, our engines are hit! We're losing acceleration." comes the transmission from the beleaguered ExoFrigate - you glance briefly over to see the rapidly dissipating remains of multiple missile impacts.
"ETA on repairs?" the Endeavor's captain replies.
"Shit, sir, I don't know." the ExoFrigate's captain answers, sounding like he's hyperventilating, taking a few seconds to sort of get himself under control. "Engineering says some of the damage is external, it'll take us a while to get a crew suited up and check it out."
"Easy squad, Endeavor here." the Endeavor's captain calls out. "I'm sending out reinforcements. Repair E-Frames, get over to the Guiducci and see what you can do to help. If those neos catch up to her... just do what you can. Everyone else, continue keeping the Neos away."

Oof stealths were like the worst things that could've shown up here.
well, that's unfortunate, I'm assuming that with engines disabled the Guiducci can't move back correct?
so if we're going to save it, the engineers will probably have to move that way now, maybe through E5>E4>F4.
they can deal with the stealths in E5.
Melee/trooper A can deal with the stealth in F5, and I can give recon a second red to deal with the stealths in G5.
edit: or we could make it so that everyone in E5 moves back, trooper and melee destroys in the stealths, eng A and B repairs trooper A shoulder blaster thing, wraith missiles the stealth in F5 and maybe also throw a probe over there, but eh, not sure on that one,
and recon still destroys the stealths in G5
flight and falcon could try to hold C5 but holding C5 has the risk of being hit by the 2 sensor contacts in C6 and the sensor in B5 if that decides to move over.
So i'd probably just move back tbh.
wraith can just do their own thing.
And it's up to trooper B how they want to move.
[X] Falcon
-[X] Blue: evade
-[X] Red: triple blaster- where it's needed most but prioritze enemies with 1 hp
-[X] Gray: Order Red- Recon
or does this just mean that for the QM's sanity, sensors are just going to move forward now compared to the random chance of them going a different direction?

Also, apparently there's a sanity meter.

So do I deploy and move or only deploy this turn?
So you would pick one of the two spots (D4/E4) to deploy to, and do your actions.
like how turn 1 goes
Here's my turn 1 for reference

no problem, but remember to put the space your deploying to in your actions
- Location
- New England
Yeah, I basically looked at the # of dice rolls I'd have to do/write out and decided that, in addition to being a pain, it's not going to add anything to the gameplay or narrative to roll movement direction for far-away contacts. I'll still do it for ones that are up close, though.
Correct, it'll remain in place until the relevant secondary objective is complete.
