Admiral Katsuo calls out the dominion to immediately disembark from the sinkable, and implies their continued presence on-board would not be good for their relationship with the empire. Furthermore no order will be given for the skyjumpers onboard the dominion battlecruiser until the dominion has fully left the sinkable within an hour; if the dominion has not Kayetan would be forced to take the battlecruisers as reparations

Kayetan also opens a comm with the imperial admiral and transmits the recording from the sinkable, asking for advice and support from the imperial fleet about the situation onboard the sinkable.

Send one of the survey ships to check out the moon while keeping a close eye on the Dominion fleet, scan the planet from a distance and observe the dominion ships. Also send an encrypted message to the Randiri fleet over the Dominion capital.

"Deepbloom to fleet, be advised Dominion BC Agoniser plus 3 cruisers and 4 frigates heading your way. Observing remaining forces."

Ah well. Two things: try out using some other materials and see if I can make it adapt to different types of attacks (what materials work best for each type of attack, and can I set something up to switch them out?).

Quote from: Project 2
Hoplon Defense System: By tracking incoming projectiles with advanced sensor systems, a ship-wide array of small railguns and lasers can shoot down most incoming threats before they destroy the ship they're attached to. This system prioritizes incoming missiles, but will attempt shots on railgun projectiles if at all possible.

Alright, step one, people: Get the best sensors we have, and let's make them better at finding small things, even if it means they have to get worse at finding big ones. (Experiment)

Step two, we set this system up and see what it can do! (Design the system!)

The admirals had told him to delay departure, and his instinct told the Tarn something was up.  Well, he could always keep the marines busy.  A little insurance never hurt either.

Mission: Tit for Tat

Goal: Rig the battlecruiser to self destruct if there is treachery.

Means: Fish a few missiles from the bays to decorate the reactor and engine rooms.  Accent them with remote detonators.

Back at the motherfleet, Amelia decided to requisition that black market dealing, with the help of 'independents' whilst communicating through the unmarked cargo carrier. With the current update of fleet resources done and finished, after ensuring all repairs were finalized and rechecked, she wondered if she could also salvage those two raider ships for a better price.

Made a blackmarket trade via the unmarked (20k cargo) ship.
Try and get a deal on salvaging the two captured (and broken) pirate raider ships, with a 'deal' for 'more scrap and salvage' in the future if there are any takers (for IC, preferably)

Go with {Smoke Mirrors} on the mission to raid the pirate base.


System Background: Marien IV has both inorganics and metals as scarce; rare metals have a +10  bonus outside of other details due to interest from the black market.

Quote from: Trade Orders
+5000 Metals (Scarce, Massive [+20]); free from earlier deal
+5000 Inorganics (Scarce, Massive [+20]); -2 IC
+5000 Rare Metals (Scarce, Massive [+30]); -2 IC [+10 bonus due to exotic background deals]
+5000 Rare Inorganics (Scarce, Massive [+30]); -2 IC [+10 bonus due to exotic background deals]

Fight the pirates.

As of now, we do not know if the destruction of the pirates would be detrimental to our diplomatic efforts with The Dominion, as such, we will wait here, guard Amelia's ship, and decimate and board any pirate ship that attacks us.

Don't worry too much about the one mistake, Smoke Mirrors. Your character was memorable for all the demonology and story writing.

I’m running a game/mechanics test called Fate/Mechanics Test. Feel free to check it out.

Admiral Katsuo: You send a message to the Dominion, and warn them to immediately disembark from the Sinkable. They reply that they are leaving now. A few shuttles leave the ship, confirming their intent. They ask for a similar action from the Skyjumpers aboard their ship. However, there is also a data transmission from the Sinkable out to the Dominion fleet. You also send the Imperial admiral the recording and ask for advice and support. The admiral scoffs at this, and asks what exactly you would have him do. He has several recordings of the skyjumpers killing everybody aboard the enemy battlecruiser.

    The surviving crew members are sent aboard your fleet, and the enemy has cleared off of the Sinkable. Admiral Marloss is safely returned as well, with only a few bruises. All that remains is to collect the Skyjumpers.

Yzari: You have rigged the battlecruiser to blow, and the way is clear for your departure. What do you do?

Saraket: (1) You try to find a different material to use with the shields, but are unable to come up with a viable alternative. Though you have also learned how to blow holes in walls better.

(4) You figure out a method of adapting the shield to defend against different attacks, such as lasers and missiles.
+1 total modifier to the shield.

Captain Deepbloom:
   The enemy fleet reaches the gravity well of Marien VII. . . and just sits there for the moment. They might be waiting to make the jump. The base on the moon has a small port for transports, it appears to be a military base. Not much more information on the planet, though you are able to map the largest cities on it.

Eglan:
(2) Your attempt to improve the sensors yielded no appreciable results.
(2) Likewise, your attempts at the Hoplon defense system have yielded a system that can shoot down missiles, but due to it attempting to shoot down railgun systems it may become ineffective at shooting down anything.


Gumo:
You set multiple experiments for the pulse laser.
(4) Your power motor has potential to improve the power and intensity of the laser.
(3) Cycling the barrels show an improvement in the overall fire rate of the laser.
Total modifier +2

Amelia:
   You receive the reports that the trade mission to Marien IV has been successful, and the transport will make its way back to the fleet with the retrieved goods. (Add resources to the fleet stockpile. Total IC is now 14.
You set the Tiamat out on course with the Night Raiders to assault the pirate base. Your command crew look slightly concerned about this, considering that it lacks any weapons and is still unarmored. You approach the asteroid belt containing the pirate base and fleet.

Avalon:
   The Valravn sets out from the fleet with the Tiamat, setting out towards the pirate base. Your crew is eager for battle, and your sensors spot two pirate raiders setting out from the asteroid base once you and the Tiamat arrive. You might be outgunned, but your crew is eager to fight whatever the circumstances.
   Your first salvo slams into the leading pirate raider, blowing off parts of the ship. Your crew gives a quick cheer, and then buckle down as their fire comes to meet you.
   Your armor is blown off, and the Valravn rattles horribly as missiles blow into the hull of your ship. A status reports that roughly only a third of your weapons remain, and your defenses are horribly compromised.

Procul:
   Your metal frame shudders as the force of the explosions shake the hull of the Valravn. Your visual sensors note friendly organics collapsing around you as the atmosphere reading quickly drops to zero. You prep your weapon for the 5,000th time and wait for when your function is activated.

Tav Kelleran:
The local crime boss offers you a job to smuggle a wanted person off of Marien IV to the rebel held planet, or to bring in a kill team from the Randiri fleet

Try to investigate into other varieties of shields, what materials one might make those with, and how different kinds of shielding interact with each other.

Heh. Ah well. Try again, both objectives. Try and get those sensor systems to be capable of seeing railgun projectiles and missiles earlier and with better precision.
And remind that prototype Hoplon system that you do or do not, you do not "try and fail everything".
