Yeah, we should just merc all the ships that can carry exterminatus weapons. Those are our targets.
You would have arrived basically seconds after you left Echish and been able to repair, re-arm, and get into position.
Hey, you still have the Voxxian Ringyard with all its Defense Stations you took intact, alongside monitors. So, ya know, they still gotta make it through them if they go to Primus.
That's the Eddies of the Warp and Khorne, alongside the weaponry getting delivered to both but getting held back as they got notice that you smashed/are fighting the other fleet.
Depends on what you want it to do.
I mean even if the dice hadn't fucked us, we would have been in a pretty rough position by choosing to finish off the Duchy forces if the Duchy did the same thing. It's pretty hard to stop what is potentially a suicide charge if you don't have the fleet in position to intercept. All the Duchy would have had to do is put their exterminatus ships into the center of the fleet and then use everyone else as the sacrificial shield to deliver the exterminatus weapon.
Do we know which ships specifically are carrying the exterminatus weapons?You would have arrived basically seconds after you left Echish and been able to repair, re-arm, and get into position.

This is them rushing out to take advantage of a perceived hole in your defenses.

Also, Thread Freak/Depression Spiral #5 Due To Enemy Action Commences nicely I see.
TBH, it feels a bit mean for the QM to outright suggest an action (none of us came up with the sneak attack plan, it was 100% QM prompted), knowing they were planning to do this.
Yes, the Light Cruisers. Three of them specifically.
To be fair here, the Chaos Gods had to roll their number twice to have any effect, with the Star Child also getting that treatment, and I had been of the thought that you would nuke the smaller fleet before meeting the larger one in Echish.
Yup, pretty much my line of thought. I'm definitely willing to sacrifice 3 choirs for this - or at least ask them for it.
Wherever you want them to be. You sent them here to spy on shit, so you can say they are where you want to.
It is a star system. They are titanically, mindboggingly, vast. You plopped an Action's worth of stations down to defend what is worth attacking/defending, not fifty, so you simply don't have the reach to deny an entire system.
I think the easy answer here is that the planet's small, the system's big. Too big to cover with stations.
Space is pretty huge, you can't build enough stations for that.
Ohhhhh, thats whats happening. It took me a bit to catch on and that they just blitzed past Eshich. Welll, time for rngesus to give us some good rolls.
I'm not sure that would have changed anything, it seems like we would have still had that roll to warp back to Eshich.
It looks like we have a strong chance to break the invasion fleet at the sacrifice of Alpha Fleet so I'm not dooming yet. I have the impression theres lots of background rolls happening where theres a risk of getting screwed but we don't know find out about it because its a rare outcome. I actually like that about this quest, it gives more weight to decisions and allows random chance to throw a wrench in plans.Also, Thread Freak/Depression Spiral #5 Due To Enemy Action Commences nicely I see.
Whats stopping enemy fleets from doing this at any time? Just having our own fleet in system to oppose them or they've just never bothered before?
