[USEC_OFFICER]

Greetings commanders. Captain General Adrew Hamck has seen fit to provide you with the following ships for your scouting duties.

Spoiler: Small Ships (click to show/hide)

Union "Kloma", "Roh Island", "Bermadour", "Norshire"
"Engles" Class Scout
Defence: 2
Integ: 1
Fuel Com: 0.5
Fuel Cap: 10

Weapons:
"Archen" Miniature Railgun
Range: 2
Attack: 2

Extras:
Has no Hyperdrive.
Scout Sensors

Description: The "Engles" Class Scout is based on the popular and numerous EN-42L, commonly found in most systems. The "Archen" Railgun was specifically designed to fit into the hold of the EN-42L, though its compact design and cheap construction caused it to be used in other Union vessels.

Union "Vergino", "Terin", "Vaszack"
"Damocus" Class Minelayer
Defence: 2
Integ: 1
Fuel Com: 0.5
Fuel Cap: 7

Weapons:
"Archen" Miniature Railgun x2
Range: 2
Attack: 2

Extras:
BT-1 Mines x8

Description: While the Union controls the resource rich frontier of the Milky Way, it lacks significant manufacturing facilities to use them. Constructing mines is a simpler and easier task than making ships, and minelayers quickly became a staple of Union fleets.

Spoiler: Medium Ships (click to show/hide)

Union "Wecgus", "Qutitelo", "Beous Erie", "Ebjini", "Hegi", "Ledlih"
"Rommel" Class Cruiser
Defence: 4
Integ: 2
Fuel Com: 1
Fuel Cap: 15

Weapons:
"Faray" Railgun
Range: 2
Attack: 5

Extras:
BT-1 Mines x2

Description: The "Rommel" was lighter and cheaper than its counterpart in the USEC, though it was significantly more simplistic, allowing for them to be turned out at a large rate. The mines carried by these vessels frequently surprised USEC captains, resulting in their defeat by supposedly inferior foes.

Union "Teakass", "Nacome", "Cirow", "Nerlin"
"Bush" Class Cruiser
Defence: 5
Integ: 3
Fuel Com: 1
Fuel Cap: 14

Weapons:
"Mac" Cannon
Range: 2
Attack: 8

"Faray" Railgun
Range: 2
Attack: 5

Extras:
PPSRs x2

Description: The "Mac" Cannon is a repurposed civilian mass driver, used by many planets for transporting bulky minerals and offers more heft and damage than a "Faray" Railgun. The "Mac" has also been designed to shoot PPSR rockets, to help attack enemies at longer ranges.

Spoiler: Large Ships (click to show/hide)

Union "Amazinia", "Markuv"
"Relika" Class Vessel
Defence: 8
Integ: 4
Fuel Com: 2
Fuel Cap: 20

Weapons:
WMC-4
Range: 1
Attack: 12

"Faray" Railgun x2
Range: 2
Attack: 5

Extras:
None.

Description: While most pre-war USEC vessels were unfit for comabt, many still saw use in the fleets of the USEC and Union. The "Relika" features an experimental energy weapon fitted onto an old but reliable large frigate body. While no longer in production, these vessels will serve on the front lines until they finally break down.

Union "Hi Wa We"
"Marx" Class Carrier
Defence: 10
Integ: 5
Fuel Com: 2
Fuel Cap: 24

Weapons:
"Order" P-2 Fighters x3
Range: 0
Attack: 16

Extras:
None.

Description: The "Marx" Class Carrier is a repurposed Ensole-3 Space Station. The Ensole was designed for interconnectivity and ease of expansion, allowing the Union to design special modules and convert thousands of space stations into carriers. The "Order" P-2 is a common and cheap type of space-fighter used in the frontier, mostly used to combat pirate attacks on space installations.

Spoiler: Torpedoes and Mines (click to show/hide)

PPSRs
Attack: 12
Defence: 2
Fuel Con: 0.1
Fuel Cap: 1

BT-1 Mines
Attack: 10
Defence: 2

While the firepower might seem excessive, the enemy's scouts have engaged our forces in several nearby systems. Every ship you destroy is one less ship to worry about.

You may place your ships anywhere below the white, dotted line. The only other restriction is that your scout ships lack a hyperdrive, and therefore must be placed on the same hex as a ship from the medium or large category, since they are capable of ferrying the scouts through hyperspace. Where you place your ships and how you divide control of them is up to you four. You could attempt to divide the fleet up equally, based on size or speciality, or however else you want.

As always, feel free to ask for clarification if needed. Otherwise, best of luck to you!

[scapheap]

Okay, first who control which ships.

I prose everyone get a medium or large and the Marx and Rommel owners get a small as well.

I think that the names in quotations are the names of individual ships, so how the Engles scout has the following,
"Kloma", "Roh Island", "Bermadour", "Norshire"
I think that means that there are 4 different scouts of the Engles class.

Also, I am highly excited about the mines, I'll definitely want some mine ships.
Since it looks like there are 6 Rommel medium ships and 3 Damocus small ships that have mines, I'll be wanting some of those.

Oh, so that 20 altogether, 5 each.

[+!!scientist!!+]

I like being the tank in any RTD, so if nobody is against it I'd like to control the "Hi Wa We." Other than that I'll take whatever is leftover.

Also, I have no idea when I will be able to use a computer until Tuesday as I'm travelling all over the place at the moment.

[scapheap]

I'll take (large)Markuv, (Medium)Wecgus and Nacome, (Small)Norshire and Roh Island if that okay.

[Persus13]

I'll take Amazinia, and any leftovers.

[mastahcheese]

I'll post my prefeneces later, when I have time.

Ok, here are the ships we've got.

"Engles" Class Scout
"Kloma", "Roh Island", "Bermadour", "Norshire"
4 Small Ships

"Damocus" Class Minelayer

4 Medium Ships

"Relika" Class Vessel

So that leaves the following.

"Engles" Class Scout
"Kloma", "Bermadour"
2 Small Ships

"Damocus" Class Minelayer
"Vergino", "Terin", "Vaszack"
3 Small Ships

"Rommel" Class Cruiser
"Qutitelo", "Beous Erie", "Ebjini", "Hegi", "Ledlih"
5 Medium Ships

"Bush" Class Cruiser
"Teakass", "Cirow", "Nerlin"
3 Medium Ships

Since scientist likes tanks, I'd recomend a pair of Bush class Cruiser to support the Hi Wa We.
Persus doesn't seem to mind what ever is left over, and Scapheap gave a full list.

I would like to take the following. "Qutitelo", "Beous Erie", "Ebjini" Rommel Cruisers, and "Vergino" and "Vaszack" Damocus Minelayers.
Which would leave about this.

"Engles" Class Scout
"Kloma", "Bermadour"
2 Small Ships

"Damocus" Class Minelayer
"Terin"
1 Small Ship

"Rommel" Class Cruiser
"Hegi", "Ledlih"
2 Medium Ships

"Bush" Class Cruiser
"Teakass", "Cirow", "Nerlin"
3 Medium Ships

If we give scientist 2 Bush Cruisers, a Rommel, and An Engles, that would leave an Engles, a Damocus, a Rommel and a Bush for Persus, which is a pretty well-rounded force.

[+!!scientist!!+]

If it's okay with Persus, I'll take the Bush class ships "Teakass" and "Nerlin", the rommel class "Hegi", and the Engles class "Kloma".

If this is my group of ships, I should probably take the front line with Hi Wa We in 10.17 (carrying Kloma), and Teakass, Nerlin, and Hegi in 6.17, 8.17, and 12.17 respectivly.

[Persus13]

That's fine with me. Just if everyone can confirm that.

[scapheap]

Confirm.

[mastahcheese]

Sounds good.

Ok, here's where we stand.

[scapheap]

Now when to place the ships, I wish to be the flanker.

[Persus13]

I say we deploy a scout force to take advantage of the planet and sun and sling it towards the front line. My force is well rounded, and I think it should be a reserve or a support. I think scientist should be our main attack group.

Spoiler: Proposed Plan (click to show/hide)

+!!scientist!!+ is in red, scapheap in yellow, persus13 in green, and myslef in blue.

I placed scientist in the hexes he choose out, and scapheap, you're over at the left side, so you can flank using the upper planet to your advantage. Persus is over at right for support, and I'm slightly behind the front line, as my minelayers will primamarily be long ranged bombards to force them to move out of the way and use up their fuel supplies.

Any in favor of this?
