Are warp core breaches in the current combat engine an automatic 'lost with all hands' event, or are escape pods a thing?

You know, the Harfauxnnens are the ones whose Mentats have troubled us the most, they're unpopular with the other houses, and Eaton's closing in on their main planet. I wonder if there's any chance the rest of the Licori will agree to some reasonable terms once we've made an example of them.

I feel like the guideline should be that if one major character gets out with an escape pod, another has to sacrifice themselves to push them into the escape pod.
Also: yfw Jennifer Zhang figures out Abigail's identity by reading about the Winterwind being lost with all hands.
On further reflection, given how basically all my major omake characters are in the LBZ, this does not bode well. I mean shit, even the UES Calgary is getting rekt in simulations.
Time to start developing Tort and Sharizz as spare Wolfe and Holena, respectively.
All the ones I can remember from the demo logs are a complete crew loss. Whether that is automatic, or their is a Hard DC roll of some kind there, I don't know. There are bonuses to escaping in the tech tree, but no idea if the breech supersedes those.

You know, in Simon's Five Year in Review omake series, in-game 2314-2315 would be around IRL 2007-2008. The context of that time was the by-then deeply unpopular Iraq War insurgency and the brief Iraq War troop surge that was in progress around then.
While still unpopular, common consensus has that surge being successful in hindsight. Hope the same can be said here by next in-game year
Also while re-reading that...

Such is life when it comes to the Hollywood rumor mill. But hey, there's always the chance he'll get that offer for the next season instead.

I can only assume that in this alternate timeline George Takei feels... energized... by his appearances; he's still showing up.
Also, I never did figure out who to cast as Valentina Sousa.

Hm, Portuguese 65-year old woman in '08, formal and charismatic and poetic...I can only assume that in this alternate timeline George Takei feels... energized... by his appearances; he's still showing up.

Someone like this, then, but who...

Tiny, but still intimidating. Has very high expectations for all her staff. More diplomatic about it than Kahurangi was, but just as willful. I think we've dubbed her the Silver Lady to Kahruangi's Iron.

I believe Season Five wraps up in Spring 2006 and in-game 2311, with Season Six wrapping up the Orion issue at Celos and Season Seven probably covering the Licori arc or at least starting it.

Having looked around at South American, Brazilian-American, and Portugese-American actresses, I think the best I can come up with is Adriana Barraza - IMDb . Academy Award nominated, has acted in Sci-Fi (although after the timeframe we're looking at) right height. Biggest problem is going to be dragging her away from Alejandro González Iñárritu. Unless we hire him to make a movie where Wolfe (played by Leonardo Dicaprio) gets mauled by a Sehlat.
No idea on what her screen presence is like. Quick, to youtube!

Sousa was likely an unknown character actress who had some support roles, and then Takai had a contract conflict and could not commit to the schedule, so she got used.

[X] Plan Finish The Buildup
Do we actually have a game plan?
We focusing on taking territory like in the GBZ or eliminating/removing Liccori assets like against the Orion Syndicate?

Though I can totally imagine Takei cheerfully trolling everyone into thinking he was next.

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUU NOT DIKHED
Despite his importance, Dikhead actually isn't an omake character. Yet.
I was sorely tempted to make that the name they used in cadet training scenarios for SFA, but didn't.

Wait, didn't he make it in to an actual omake?
EDIT: it's Mentat Dikhed of House Aswype, btw.

Nah, he's never been in a proper omake. Like little hundred word jokes, but never a threadmarked omake.

This isn't about the Licori's physical territory, and it isn't like they're a guerilla force with hidden assets like the Syndicate. We need to make them stop doing something specific, and what it comes down to is simply inflicting the maximum amount of pain on their government(s) in exchange for the minimum cost on our side, until they agree to comply.

That was how I was figuring it, something like:
Season 5 - IRL 2005-2006, in-game 2309-2311: Courageous bombing, Kadak-Tor crisis, Not Easy Being Green, Caitian ratification, Master of Orion
Season 6 - IRL 2006-2007, in-game 2311-2313: Kearsage & Miracht troubles, Sousa & Garden of Stars, Lironh bombing & Precipice at Celos, Vault of the Heavens (GBZ) & Battle at Deva, Orion Constitutional Convention & Fall of the Syndicate (technically 2314 but that was just a final withdrawing of forces)
Season 7 - IRL 2007-2008, in-game 2314-2315+: Courageous misadventures again, Battle at Lora & Sguirri skirmishes, Arcadian Crisis, outbreak of Klingon-Romulan war?
Biggest question is what the finales of each season should be, Season 5 in particular since Kadak-Tor is the mid-season special and 2311 was a pretty shitty year for us.
