That is something I have been thinking about does repairing and upgrading use her trait or not. Since she will be repairing but also replacing systems.

No it procs.
I can try and hunt down the quote if you wish, but I am certain it procs.
It is repairing it first after all.

Just as well, I imagine that the amount of micromanagement it'd need otherwise would be as bad or worse than the trek across Fyol IV, for all parties involved.
However I'd like to commission an omake of the Crusade getting outsmarted staring N steps ahead, Sarrnow and Ridcully in equal amounts regardless.

@Durin, I have a couple of questions:
1)With Ridcully's help, maybe we can not only put mines in the big hulk's entrance point, but also fire an alpha strike with accelerators, Nova cannons and vortex torpedoes(and maybe with a Cyclonic torpedo) in a way that all the projectiles will strike simultaneously just as it will enter real space? Can he also arrange that weakpoints will be hit for massive damage?
2) How useful would that be? At least it will greatly reduce effectiveness of point defense against torpedoes, which is good, especially if we will spend a Cyclonic one. It almost certainly should increase structural damage in comparison with the same volume of ordnance striking non-simultaneously. Maybe it will also reduce effectiveness of shields.

1. that and the huge as yet unnamed hulk
2. it would pull back
3. that option is called just deploying a harrasment force
4. see below
5. no, not really. it is not production that is an issue but transport though contested space
6. yes, will be done automattically
7. write in
1. it gives a bonus to hiding and when Saint Lin is found you decide where he was
1. no, getting emergance time to the hour is hard enough, getting it to within a few minutes let alone the seconds you would need for accelerators is impossible

1. combat wise he is a multiple paragon but the true terror is he is a paragon general. and commands Tyranids.

so I just had a thought. instead of asking dragons nest to help us with the orks, could we just inform them that Valinor is about to strip its fleets bare? I feel like asking for direct military assistance when we haven't provided any may cause diplomatic issues, but letting them know that a mutual enemy is about to leave itself unguarded? that would be useful. They would probably take the chance to at the very least wipe out any orbital infrastructure, if not take some worlds.

And so takes the already scary command abilities of the nids and super charges it.
Kinda like a more balanced version of Abaddon really depending on whether or not the Lord is Abaddons equal. If it is then its a massive upgrade to him.
@Durin
1. Are Hive Fleets Kronos (the chaos nomming one) and the hive fleet that makes nid war worlds (I'm not sure it's named so Tiamat will do) canon in Embers verse? Probably a silly question, but its good to confirm things like this and they were introduced fairly recently.
2. Oh yeah don't we have Dreadnaughts from the Blood Dragons?

point. we don't know how leaky they are. well, we should at least tell them after, shave off however long it would normally take them to realize that one of their foes is down all its ships.

Shrug.
We can try at least. Worst case scenario we send a message to Zadkiel himself so he can prepare as surreptitiously as possible. At a minimum I think they're going to accidentally end up attacking them anyway as I think they're skill skirmishing and all those ships suddenly vanishing will be quite important.
Also looking at it
I didn't realise we had our estimates of what Valinor had on its own.
Durin has says we can get 12 to 100 armies and about a chapter worth of marines as help. I got to be truthful those marines would really help with the orks. They have better stats than the Vanguard but the Vanguard has superior equipment.

Eh kinda.
Worse weapons, and possibly worse armour seeing how we hadn't upgraded the others with the stealth technology by the time we traded IIRC.
Though on the skill front...honestly I dunno. IIRC Durin said they were less skilled than an Imperial chapter's average (kinda like our guys), but they had more veterans and heroes.
Makes sense really.
Oh BTW I'm not saying I don't want them not at all if they can send help then by all means I'll accept it.
On that note I'd like to note that by almost any sane standards the Dragon's Nest is insanely powerful. Give these guys a century of peace and they'd be a monstrous threat potentially able to grow very far indeed.

I would say we should take the marines as abomination forces are gonna be just as vulnerable to them as orks and we need something to give us Astartes parity (oh wait, they're called lifeguard) but they'd be detected at any point.
Should we put Jane on bodyguard duty for Lin? How about a biomancy choir? Plus his saints guard and some Astartes of course.
Alternatively, Jane could be gold dust for cutting through Astartes.
I was talking about the marines. There guard units are not better than Avernus militia and would die horrible on Avernus. So we should keep them as a reserve or help eight he orks. I am leading to the orks since they have battlebarges that would boarding easier.

Best thing about ROTBART THE GREAT is that his paragon trait means we do not have to say till he is found.

mmm. I personally don't see Jane as the body guarding type I'd rather be using her as either an assassin or champion, exploiting her terror of the damned (causes terror in chaos) to screw em over.
As for Lin's body guard...mmm probably a bio mancer of some kind, but the main thing that needs to be there is a daemonologist who can teleport him out (Lin's presence does mean that the usual issues associated with teleporting in a daemon invasion are minimised)
Eh? Oh you wanted the Astartes on Avernus...sorry must have misread somewhere I wanted them for the effort against the orks.
That too

honstly, my plan for lin would be to put hin in our underground subway and just zip him over to the next city as soon as we are sure they won't be able to breach the tracks. Or put him in the azure islands. because I would honestly be curious about how someone would even land forces to attack that place. By my understanding, there is very little unclaimed land around the hives, and the oceans are hella deadly.
It would also let us use our Kraken to eat any titans.
