Okay bitches... let's have ourselves a free-for-all. 23 Command Points as normal, must exit hyperspace in a Deep Space Zone. Let's blow each other up until Empier posts the Twilight of the Empire thread.

TASK FORCE DRAGON

HHF Dragon moves to C-** along with her other fleet ships, the HFF Phoenix, the HHF Masticore, and the HHF Griffin. Each of the Hammerheads raise shields, charge weapons, and deploy all onboard craft, consisting of 12 Squadrons of ************* Starfighters for Combat Space Patrol and 8 *** Auxiliaries. The fleet escorts CCC Dodge and AVIG Slayer also accompany the Hammerheads.

No ComScan transmissions were made, as this would reveal the fleet's position. Instead, Captain Colt Smith waiting for any other enemy units to make the first move, although he decided to have the auxiliary craft move further into the system to act as a recon force.


Unit Status:

1. (4) HHFs, (1) CCC, and (1) AVIG in C-** at 100%
2. (12) SF Squads on CSP in C-** at 100%
3. (8) AUX in B-** at 100%

(Quick question, didnt we do away with scanning rules with the first version of this game as it was causing too many problems? I swear I remember something about not having to scan unless you were doing a ground assault.)

The fleet moves into the system and begins an active scan of all space around the planet.

Commander Parrault's Brigade

Commander Parrault's fleet came out of hyperspace over the dead planet of Simulator and immediately began launching fighters to combat patrol. Shields were raised and all personnel reported to their battle stations. The mass of TIE Fighters began to form up into a defensive screen, or sworms, around the battle group. The time for destruction was now!

Seeing as we are up to 4 independent fleets running here can I get an updated order of battle quick?

If a player misses their 24-hour post cycle (1 post per day), you can skip them. Remember still that you have to have a minimum of 12 hours between posts. I don't plan on bringing in the Dauntless, so we'll keep it how it is.

Sounds good, and a little addendum to my earlier post, my CSP Group should be in C-15 not DS4. Sorry, I will make a note to look my stuff over better in the future when using c/p. And yeah, keep that DHC right there so after im done killing you 2 I can go capture it. ;)

TASK FORCE DRAGON
of the Galactic Liberation Force
Commanding Officer: CAPT Colton Smith

*

Onboard the DRAGON...

"Captain! An enemy fleet has entered high orbit of Planet X, they are scanning aggressively!" reported a ComScan technician.

"Excellent. Looks like its time for some fun and games. Helm, steady course 240 mark 053, all ahead full," ordered the Captain.

"Course 240 mark 053, all ahead full, aye Captain!" replied the Helmsman.

The rest of the task force followed the Dragon to B-2 where they rendezvoused with the Rothana Assault Transports that were sent ahead. The two full wings of Advanced Z-95s also moved to B-2 where they continued their combat space patrol.

OOC Note: Question as I was reading through the rules and I dont want it to come back and bite me in the ass. It states: Due to the nature of auxiliary craft, they cannot effectively engage an enemy squadron (but at the same time, they cannot be blocked by a CSP screen). Does this mean Aux craft can not shoot at starfighters at all, or does it just mean they can not occupy fighters to get them off of CSP status?

The fleet moves to C-16 where it continues to hold position and scan.

Good question. "The intent of the law" regarding Auxiliaries, back when Greg and I were writing the rules, was that we wanted to distinguish them as "mini capital ships".

This means that they can attack starfighter squadrons normally, but they cannot occupy a CSP screen because in the end it's just 1 little ship vs 12 others (as opposed to a larger more capable capital ship - like a CGUN - being able to rush into a CSP screen with guns blazing).

I suppose an argument could be made that if you had 12 AUX engage 1 CSP Squad you could occupy it, but that's neither here nor there, because if a CSP Squad is dealt enough damage to be destroyed, then it has been "occupied" either way.

Because AUX's cannot be used to occupy a CSP screen, they can bypass a CSP screen altogether and engage capital ships at will because they are "too big" for starfighters to block.  It also gives AUXs a slight advantage against SFs/CSPs since they have a harder time engaging them (due to higher UCR).

This all conforms with the idea that AUXs are "mini capital ships" as opposed to "oversized starfighters".

Commander Parrault's Brigade

Commander Parrault reviewed the battlefield carefully, contemplating the best way to proceed. Most aspects of the battle appeared to be balanced. Many of the enemy starfighters, however, were far superior to what his fleet had brought to the table. While quick and nimble, the lack of shields and missiles on his TIE craft would be outmatched by the enemy's shielded and more heavily equipped fighters. Parrault ordered the battle group to remain close, and to proceed further into Simulator's gravity well.
