[x] Plan: Same General Direction
-[x] Another Patrol Carrier (improve the fighters and ship with non-prototype tl10 sensors, if we haven't already)
-[x] one new "Skirmisher Frigate" - Stealth Armor + Radshields, less overall armor. Switch bay weapon to torpedoes. Add chemical thruster + some fuel. Drop medbay, if necessary.
-[x] refit one flight II frigate into the " prototype sensor picket". Downgrade weapons (switch to torpedo small bay or even pair of torp barbettes). Add the shallow penetration suit and the sensor extension net.
-[x] Retain the services of our 4 Aslan ships.
-[x] Un-mothball the Monitor and add it to Home fleet. Allow usage of Particle beams on it and other ships in case of attack on Home.
-[x] They will urge moderation. We don't know any real targets to strike at. It is not absolutely necessary to strike, either - use your own discretion. If she gets some combat successes and finds the enemy beatable, she may try chasing them around other two known systems. If enemy is more dangerous, maybe posturing and attempting to make a diplomatic contact is better than risking her fleet. If things are even harder, keep to the forward base near the protection of mines. Anyway, we can't micromanage her even at this distance. Keeping her own fleet undestroyed is a primary objective. Getting our crewmembers back is also a primary. Getting enemy ships killed, trophies and prisoners is a secondary. Getitng back our own ships from enemy is also a secondary, maybe less priority than enemy pows/tech/kills. Use her own discretion, again.
--[x] along with the courier, reinforce her with the Patrol Carrier and our two additional Aslan ships. If they can't find Omarov, sit at the forward base.
[X] Plan: Carrier Command
-[X] Construct a jump tug capable of hauling 6k tons in civilian yards
-[X] Another Patrol Carrier (improve the fighters and ship with non-prototype tl10 sensors, if we haven't already) (5,500 tons, 2,837.595Mcr)
-[X] Refit 1xEnhanced Frigate to EWAR Variant with improved sensor capability (and reduced weapons) for use as picket ship. (500 tons, ??? Mcred)
-[X] Excess tonnage used to develop a small EWAR picket that can be carried aboard a CFA or other vessel in the standard 50-ton berthing/hangar as the existing assault shuttle.
-[X] Retain Aslan mercenaries.
-[X] Inquire with the Aslan about acquiring additional technology - especially sensors tech.
-[X] They will urge something else - HSWS command staff will inform the council that this war is likely to be a long one, fought at great distance, and that building the ability to take the war to the enemy and win decisively will take time considering the enemy capabilities, construction times, and our need for additional hulls. We support the continued presence of Vice-Marshall Omarov in Menorb as a recon-in-force but will be recalling them in the near future. We do not currently know the location of the enemy's home system or their industries or shipyards; we will need to construct a series of fortified bases with mines, defense stations, and logistic hubs, to the northern reaches and potentially beyond in order to effectively counter the enemy stealth vessels, locate their bases, and smash their war-making capability.
--[X] Omarov will be ordered to assess the situation in Menorb and act in a moderate manner, considering the need to keep other stations manned and the loss of previous fleet units; she is trusted to make decisions and execute her own tactical plans without meddling or micro-managing from high command beyond the broad strategic directive that we wish to preserve our fleet as we begin work on additional ships and we wish to discover and fix the enemy facilities and home systems for a future campaign. She will be informed that the new patrol carrier will be sent to her, along with additional reinforcements as we can make them available (including further Aslan units).
[x] Plan Retribution
-[x] another patrol carrier
-[x] replacement frigates X2
-[x] They will urge something else - write in
--[x] Give Omarov command authority to pursue hostilities as she sees fit.
--[x] Authorize use of weapons with radioactive effects against targets in vacuum (ships, stations, other)
--[x] Authorize bombardment of industry that could support war effort. (Shipyards, mining, refining, etc) -[x] Ask shipbuilding industry to begin drawing up plans for a 6 jump capable warship. Secondary focus on maximizing speed. Hit and run and raiding are the envisioned use cases for the warship.
[X] OPLAN: Sacred War
-[X] Construct a jump tug capable of hauling 6k tons in civilian yards
-[X] Construct 2xCFA-B Flight II with improved torpedo armament, sensors, and armor. (6k tons, 2800 MCred)
-[X] Refit 1xEhanced Frigate to EWAR Variant with improved sensor capability (and reduced weapons) for use as picket ship. (500 tons, ??? Mcred)
-[X] Excess tonnage used to develop a small EWAR picket that can be carried aboard a CFA or other vessel in the standard 50-ton berthing/hangar as the existing assault shuttle.
