No, SV, You Are the Forest! (Riot Quest)

[Walliseatscheese]

They do seem a bit… tyrannical. And paranoid.

This sector of space apparently needs something like a Unified Precognitive Psionic Overmind to maintain the space equivalent of the UN, so it's probably more reasonable than it sounds unfortunately.

if we can beat their ecm, our laser and all our allies effectively become 1.5 times as effective this round

unless someone changes their vote, or I did my math wrong, we have 34 dice going into it. With successes from dice being doubled, we have pretty good odds of getting it. What i'm more concerned about is the twist power to make ourselves dodgy has 10 dice in it, and needs 20 successes. If anyone is good at survival actions, it may be worthwhile.

Just look at everyone else.
That [Action] vote is perfect but that only states where your biggest bonus goes to.
You get 4 separate [Focus] to dictate your side bonuses. Just make sure to put a x2, x3, and x4 at the end of repeated [Focus] actions so the QM knows they are separate votes.
Might I suggest build up Shard Volley as your [Focus]s?

Focus actions are from the forest as a whole and are decided democratically, your action is the only thing that directly adds dice, so refraining from voting for any focuses is totally fine.

Yeah, after this we should really get the Hyper Tree sorted so we can jump somewhere- at least deeper within friendly territory. Maybe figure out where the Space UN is hosted?

Fine to do yes, fine not to vote at all, but wasted if not used. After all if none but 1 single Tree used a singular [Focus] would the entirety of the Forest use 100% of itself towards that singular [Focus]?

Yes, focus is fixed where the winning vote has that focus action carried out based on the mag of the forest and certain special trees.

With 50/50 success odds and 2 focus actions (because the other two would have been used on grow the forest), we'd have an estimated 200 laser successes.

But since the imperium of fail deployed ECM and forced us to pause making our numbers go up, we instead use 4 focus actions at 1/3 odds for an estimated 266.67~ laser successes. Or 400~ if we crack their ECM. Let's do that.

Suffice to say those two things in combination would effectively end the battle, so personal actions of the offense category should either use Magnetize or Soothe in order to help protect the ingaba fleet.

Meanwhile...

-[][Action] (before we start shooting) Hey, let us and the ingaba know when you've surrendered so we can stop shooting you, okay? We wanna look at your stuff!

Ah, Kittens shot down my plan to conserve our loot their fleet. Oh well.

Edit- By the way, anyone want to guess what these guys look like? I'm thinking bird people.

 

[random_npc]

by the way, from a discord i'm in, somone came up with a really good name for our laser. Since it can gather power from a nerby power source, it can be called a Solar Array Pumped Laser, or the SAPLing system.
