Quick nitpick here, our transport barges should be at zero.

Move barges and skiff & viper back to the home spire, and then we need to figure out what to build for our new marine squads.

(Wait..  Were people seriously suggesting we just waste 3 dice to get an idea on the project costs?)

I support pulling back to the Spire. We've taken out two of their transports in two turns, hulls take a full turn to finish. Even if they've spent the resources to replace them they are very unlikely to send a transport to a Spire with an unknown enemy warship even under escort. On the building front I had heard mumerings that the plan was to start building a new Viper hull.

Apparently. Crazy right? I'm very keen on the idea of rushing the Production Line and revising out the bugs though. It will save us a lot of resources, and we could theoretically revise out multiple bugs each die.

[somemildmanneredidiot]

Ah. Well, now I know. Looks like we may want to delay starting that second production line then. In any case:

1 Viper Hull: 12 Wood, 5 Ore: 1: SMMI

Basically, we want a new Viper, and we need to spend 1 turn making the Hull before we can use it. With the resources next turn, we'll be able to outfit it and ship it out to where we want to. We'll end up with some losses this turn in any case so we won't want to spend all of our resources just in case.

Start Location: Spire Kasgyre: 2 x Skiffs: End Location: Glowcave
Start Location: Three Captains: 1 x Skiff: End Location: Spire Kasgyr
Start Location: Wreth Left Demispire: 1 x Skiff: End Location: Three Captains
Start Location: Three Captains: 2 x Transports: End Location: Spire Kasgyr

The 4 Skiffs at Glowcave should be able to act as an interception force if they attempt to go into our area, hopefully. If not, they'll be well positioned to move where we need them next turn. A Viper and a Skiff should be enough to guard the Captains until we can repel the Wreth sufficiently and get some more Vipers in the field.

"Defensive Stationing": 1: SMMI

[Jerick]

All ships at the three captains escort transports back to home spire.

Skyskiff at Glowcove remain on station using ambush tactics.

Two skyskiffs from home spire to Glowcove

Skyskiff at left enemy demi spire advance to middle enemy demi spire and use ambush tactics on anything that tries to pass through

The skyskiff at the enemy demi spire will get wiped out if it stays there. Now we could pull it back to our left demi spire but we lack info on what's going on behind enemy lines. If we move the skyskiff into the middle we'll know if the enemy is moving skiffs through there (but unless he survives not which direction).

[Taricus]

@SMMI our skiff at the three captains can't reach glowcove, they can only move two 'spaces' a turn. Anyway, our new corvette is going to need more than just the hull to get working, so we may as well get the important fittings installed as well.

Lay down the hull and basic crystals of the RKNV Viper (Viper-Class Corvette Hull, Medium Core Crystal, Small lift crystal, basic webbing) [12 Wood, 21 Crystal, 7 ore & 12 silk]

[Jerick]

Also SMMI your plan leaves the transports at the three captains which is something we do not want.

[Taricus]

Yeah, we need to pull them back to the capital and fill them up with marines to either reinforce the three captains with more bodies or to assault the unfinished spire.

[somemildmanneredidiot]

Noted and adjusted. In regards to arming the Viper, I've confirmed that literally everything besides the hull can be produced and mounted the same turn as it's made, so we don't need to spend those resources immediately.

[Taricus]

Is there a reason not to? I mean we're getting more skiffs automatically and we'll have enough ore and crystal to help arm our next load of marines.

[helmacon]

The better question is " is there a reason to do so?"

Waiting to produce the equipment later will have zero negative effect. Having the extra resources in the bank ( provided we are not pushing the upper limit) will allow us more flexibility should something unexpected happen.

[VoidSlayer]

I agree, if we suddenly need to outfit two marine units all with crossbows or develop an awesome new expensive cannon or something having those in the bank would be a good idea.

[Taricus]

We should look into the possibility of setting up production lines for infantry equipment and armour in the future to alleviate that. Besides, we shouldn't need more than squad support weapons and cutlasses at this stage.

Yeah, the transport difficulties and focus on sky power makes them not too useful, if we really get inot a slug fest though a shock troop of fully armed and armored soldiers would be a good idea.

[helmacon]

Hey guys, we should also buy some armor for the viper while it's back at the home spire.

[somemildmanneredidiot]

Not enough Ore for that and the production of the cannons/etc we need for the new Viper.

Also, votes please?
