This is gonna be a good one.
Initiatives:
E.P.A.S. AI: 7+6=13
Captain Nico: 7+1=8
Darkwarlock3: 7+0=7
DOOM CRUISER: 8-3=5 (Oh wow the DOOM CRUISER didn't go last this time. That ought to be fun.)
Captain [REDACTED]: 4+1=5
EDGECAT PIRATE MECHA SHIP: 1+4=5
Blorb Boy: 2+1=3
Reject fusion with cat-ship, citing the combination to be "low damage". Request fusion with SCP Carrier or Magma Chomper. Attempt to pinpoint reality-disrupting weapon locations, aka the particle beams and dimension ripper module. begin assailing said weapons with plasma.
(Decided that fusion does need permission, since it is an especially important decision with long term consequences for all involved. .)
2+4: The dimension ripper module is located very close to the ship's core in the middle of the keel. It seems rather difficult to get at.
8+4v6-3, 3+6: You fly over there anyway, and take a shot at the area which deals 210 damage.
Fuse with the Experimental Plasma and Scanner Corvette... if the pilot wants to? Otherwise, move to close range and attack the DOOM CRUISER with my claws!
7+3: Your claws rip and tear at the fore of the ship for 75 damage.
I tear into the doom cruiser by using the magma chomper
Permission granted for fusion.
8+3: You tear into the DOOM CRUISER using the magma chomper. However, the armor is highly reinforced! You only chomp away 150 damage. However, the DOOM CRUISER seems to be heating up at least.
Let's actually shoot back at these guys please? They're making a laughing stock of us.
At last, the DOOM CRUISER has finally had enough. This endless punishment won't be tolerated any further. The DOOM CRUISER retreats, flying far back so that it has clear shots on every target it has chosen. Four ports open up on the ship's fore, revealing the DOOM PARTICLE BEAMS that were previously discovered. Each of them fires 3 carefully aimed shots into the void, but who are their targets!
Oh no! 8 of them are headed toward the EDGECAT PIRATE MECHA SHIP! Will the pilots be able to avoid this assault?
4+4v5+2, 1+4v1+2, 1+4v4+2, 7+4v4+2, 4+4v8+2, 7+4v1+2, 3+4v4+2, 5+4v5+2, Armor 6+2, 6+2, 6+2, 1+2, 8+2, 6+2, 2+2: The deadly accurate assault almost connects completely. The relativistic particles bypass the shields completely, dealing 650 damage!
7+4v1+5, Armor 6+1, 4+4v7-6, Armor 4+3: E.P.A.S. AI and Captain Nico also take a particle a piece for 100 damage each.
7+4v3-1, 2+4v7-1 Armor 5+2, 4+2: Finally, Warlock is hit by the remaining two particles. Luckily once was a glancing blow, so they take only 150 damage from them. The magma in their hull then hardens, fixing 25 points of damage.
(For the record, this was still a random result. I didn't deliberately take your advice.)
FIRE ALL HARPOONS AT WHATEVER SEEMS EASIEST TO GET THROUGH!
5+2v7-3, 6+2v7-3, 5+2v7-3, Armor 1+3, 3+3, 7+3: The harpoons penetrate the fore for a clean 150 damage. Most of the harpoons that were in the stern have driften into space upon that area's destruction. Maybe you could do something interesting by reeling them all in at the right time.
Look death in the eyes, and Katana Claw the front of the DOOM CRUISER!
7+3, 6+3: The katana claws sweep across the fore, ripping away 550 damage worth of hull. The internals may soon be revealed.
>Have a boarding squad of Edgelord Marines attack the cruiser while the ship provides edgegun fire support to the stern.
(As stated, you don't control the boarding guns.)
8+2v5-3, 2+2v2-3, 7+2v5-3, 1, Armor 5+3, 8+3, 3+3: The first gun connects with three shots for a total of 120 damage, but the second gun jams! You'll need to clear it.
The spinning blades deal 75 damage.
See if I can manage to get my newly enhanced weapon over to the pirates to use on board the cruiser and get a bit of space booze(to modify) for my trouble. Also scan the Cruiser with my new radar.
You temporarily connect to Captain blackbeards part of the fused ship via docking port, and hand over the newly powered up gun. While there, you snatch a bottle of space booze in exchange.
6+3: Your new scanners shows the team more accurately where the DOOM PARTICLE BEAM system is located, as well as the power source therof. It also discovers another subsystem. This one looks potentially irritating.
Pop the Meat Ship, barfing up my remaining tissue at the DOOMSHIP.
3+3: You rip at the DOOM CRUISER one last time for 150 damage, then unload everything you have.
3-1v4-3v, 6-1v3-3, 4-1v1-3, Armor 8+3, 2+3, 1+3: The glorious acid spray covers the fore of the evil warship, dealing 150 damage. Your ship pops, and explodes in a cloud of flaming toxic gas for another 100 damage. As the first hero to die in defense of THE PLANET, your sacrifice will not be forgotten. A moment of silence for Blorb Boy.
Squad action 8v6: The pirates inflict 200 damage to the DOOM CRUISER's internals. Finally, another round of fusion shall commence.
-20% 61: Finally, the fusion between E.P.A.S. AI and Darkwarlock3 begins! The two glow with an awesome power and slowly begin to merge! Once the glow reaches a crescendo it bursts, revealing an entirely new ship!
With the death of Blorb Boy, another arrival has appeared! From beyond the sands of time, it's George Washington himself, first president of the United States of America! He rides a classic car into space, boggling the minds everyone present. Looks like he's here to stop the DOOM CRUISER anyway, so fight on! King Zultan, get in here and control your vehicle!
1930 damage was dealt this turn! 39% SQUAD POWER CHARGE has been added! The meter has been OVERCHARGED to 112%! I'll only allow this once, so don't let it exceed 100% again!
Players:
Pilots: Captain Blackbeard, Pilot Varkan, and MIDNIGHT EDGEMAN
Description: The EDGECAT PIRATE MECHA SHIP is a fusion of three ships. It takes a large, roughly humanoid shape. The head is red and spiky, under the control of Captain Blackbeard! Eclipsing the craft on both sides are a pair of enourmous power fists guarded by gauntlets and tipped by claws mode of katanas. The remnants of Blackbeard's Ship Ram are also mounted on the outer edges of this awesome vehicle, and can be combined for an attack once charged. All this is controlled by Pilot Varkan! The body is highly bulky and spiked all around, protected by a trenchcoat. An extra pair of arms hold the EDGY GUNS. This area is under the control of MIDNIGHT EDGEMAN! The whole vehicle is covered in red and black paint, with a cape reminiscent of a nautical sail.

Captain Blackbeard controls:
Cat-Ear Radar: A small scanning array. Not very powerful, but also improves dodge by 1 due to detecting incoming attacks.
Space Harpoon Gun: Does a little damage and stabilizes the ship. Can be used to tow ships or be towed. 50 damage per hit. Can be fired three times per turn. Best at close range. Now shoulder mounted, and can be reeled in at high speed to slightly boost melee damage.

Instance 93-0983: Roughly spherical automatons equipped with nanometric motile parts acting as drones of various sections. Drones able to adhere to most surfaces, perform delicate repair and cleaning tasks. Internal storage seems to act as a valid chemical reactor. Extremely efficient, able to self-repair, grow in size and replicate through a mechanical "mitosis" after a period of growth. Automatically repairs hull by 50 each turn.
Anomalous Transport: This ship is carrying a variety of things are simply not meant to be. Damaging or destroying this ship may have metaphysical consequences.

Initiative: +2
Equipment:
Hood Machine Guns: Not from the hood, but on the hood. 15 damage per hit. A three shot burst from each for a total of six shots.
Rear Machine Guns: The same as above, but pointed backwards. It'd be quite the feat to hit the same enemy with both of these on the same turn. Drifting recommended.
Roof Rifle: Not quite a railgun, but fairly strong. Can swivel in any direction, but requires the car to be stable to fire. 100 damage. 6 shots.
Missile Mounts: Hidden beneath the body of the car. One missile can be fired per turn for 120 damage. These have a homing effect. 6 shots.
Flares: Pop these to dissuade attackers. Can be activated automatically. Only one use.
Time Machine: Obviously Washington used this to get here somehow. Probably an interesting tale, but this isn't his story. Anyway, this time machine only goes forward. Be careful what turn you choose to arrive on. Has a cooldown of 3 turns after the car arrives.
Next attack on turn 8.
