we need a build plan for the upcoming pair of fights. That means getting the Perseus and any supporting units into action ASAP!

Since this is the first time I'm here for planning, is there a limit on how many support units we can send to one location?
The Pegasus can only carry one core unit (w/1 combine formation support) and one support unit.

for the Pegasus, It would be The Super Robot, One Supporting unit for combination, a squadron of TMU for air support IIRC.

Okay, thanks. Was kinda writing things for my potential plan assuming we could only bring one support, but it's nice to have it confirmed.
Probably can't fit a second support squad in by leaving the combine components behind, since there's no way you could fit an entire squad into the same space you'd put one unit.

I'd rather send the Persius to back up Jiro, I don't feel comfortable letting her and the Thunderbolt onto the field yet. besides we still have Ichiro who may be battle ready now. unlike Ichiro Banner who is upgraded, The Thunderbolt isn't and is still in the development stage while its magical girl pilot is still being trained to use her powers.
If we need to refit the Perseus before it can combine it makes sense to sortie it now instead since it's better armored and Tellison fights better with allies anyway (and then we can upgrade during the downtime). On the other hand Argonauts are in training for a turn anyway so maybe waiting a turn and sending them and Perseus would be a better idea IDK.
The Seeker squadron should go with the group the current deployment regardless since they are currently the most powerful support unit we have until the Argonauts will finish training next turn.

Uh, is Jessica's lack of experience such a huge issue?
We've been training her for a while now, her stats are huge with the Thunderbolt, and Mercury is most likely capable of winning on its own.
It's hardly safe but it's as controlled a condition for her to get blooded as we're likely to see for a while given that the next deployment is clearly gonna be a collaborative effort between hostile factions

we could also send Ichiro along with the Group since there is no need to have a combination unit in the dropship. I agree with sending the seeker squadron though. If Ichiro is battleready I am all for sending him to support Tellison and Zhang.

Yeah, I was gonna say... pretty much this.
Anyway, I'm mostly done, but I'm having issues with Sam's action (no ESP projects stand out to me, and the only K-Fang thing that comes to mind is just reinforcing what we've got, which is boring). Was thinking of sending the Argonauts somewhere until I was reminded that they're busy. Anyway, posting what I've got so far for review...

Yes, I know, Liaison: Yukimura and deploying to the Yukimura Institute seems redundant, but even if he hasn't somehow missed the kaiju getting ready to kick his door down I feel that letting him know that backup is en route would be appreciated.
I... might've gotten a little too into the guns, to be honest, but between the offer of blaster pistols and the potential for REALLY BIG LASERS, can you blame me?
The time it takes to refit a robot depends on how extensively we're refitting it. K-Scale and K-Circuits both take two turns, and the Anti-Gravity Treatment takes one. Assuming all that's added together, that'd make at least 5 turns to make the Thunderbolt combat-ready.

I'm pretty sure they're not sequential? I know it sure as hell didn't take the Beowulf 5 turns to come online after we moved from Alpha to Beta.

Just to be pedantic, if you're talking about backing up Mercury V, Hiroki Matsumoto is the name of Mercury V's pilot, a hot-blooded former delinquent.
Jiro Yukimura is Dr. Yukimura's nephew, who is currently working for us at the DFRI.

no, It took a solid month to fully retrofit the Beowulf into its current super robot form Using our various technology trees.

Derp.
Anyway, that being said.
There's a point to be made that Jessica's currently unblooded, and getting her a mission alongside the toughest of the Super Robots against an Acceptable Target is a really great way to change that. Especially since she scales so much harder in terms of experience to combat effectiveness.

crazy thought but, would it be possible to send both Tellison/Zhang and jessica with their super robot's plus the TMU formation while sending the Seeker Squadron with Ichiro to help Erika?
Sorry forgot to tag Basarin again,
@Basarin would it be possible to send both the Perseus and Thunderhawk plus their pilots to Japan?

She's also got a habit of charging in, which, with her comparatively-flimsy mech, means she'll be taking a lot more damage than she can afford to. First in means first to get shot at, after all.
We don't need to deploy to both Kyoto and Australia right this turn (actually I'm not sure we can anyhow, we only have one Pegasus), and the Blue September will keep for a turn.
(Also plan vote wise, why put Ivanna on the C-Crystals instead of Zulu who is will succeeded on any non natural 1 roll and possibly crit half the time?)
I'm not sure if we are allowed to send two core units in lieu of a combination unit, if so then sending Jessica alongside Tellison/Zheng would be a very good idea since Perseus focus on defense means that she is far safer and can go full aggro, while we neatly slot Callaghan next turn (Probably a wise idea to keep Ichiro back for unexpected events).

We don't know when Blue Sesptember will spark off. We think it might be months off or it could be this month. As for building another Pegasus we have yet to get another option to build one.
Blue September is specifically noted to have a grace period of at least one month/turn. And I wasn't talking about building another Pegasus, I noted that we only have one carrier and it can't really be in two places at the same time.

If Basarin gives us an option too, We can build the second Dropship in a turn. And I am waiting for Basarin to return and answer our questions before making a plan, If Basarin allows it I plan on sending both the Perseus and the Thunderhawk with a TMU squadron to the Yukimura institute while sending Callaghan and his robot along with a squadron of Seekers plus Ichiro if possible to help Erika.

Honestly? Thematics, mostly. Both due to the blaster pistols being Zulu's idea and due to the Kaus (and certainly Zulu himself) potentially never having interacted with C-Crystals before.
Though I'm more invested in the mini-blasters too (as should be obvious from how many projects I've got in there related to them); I'd be fine with finding out how the crystals interact with kaiju tissue the hard way if necessary. I think Zulu gives a better chance of success, so I'm putting him on the blasters. (This excuse only occurred to me just now, for the record.)
