I'll total up the value of their destroyed modules, and compare it to the cost of the Snail to determine the winner.

[Madman198237]

They've lost more points in modules so probably not?

Jump to Melee range on the Koganusan, all weapons fire on the Ayes.

Wait for the jump solution.

"There is no more running, crew, we shall face our defeat with dignity! They wish to close within 'Melee' range? Then we will show them what a True Melee looks like! Jump us as close to them as possible! Begin preparations for Ramming Speed!.... Launch the Memorium Capsule. We will not be coming back out with the Koganasun."

Jump on top of the Mandator. (As the Mandator itself is totally within 2 jump steps right? I kid I kid.)

[evictedSaint]

Out of curiosity, how are you running this game? Do you have a program which handles the bookkeeping?

[Kashyyk]

It's actually all manual, but you could automate most of it. If I'm honest, the longest part for me is writing the description, because I am no wordsmith (although it probably doesn't help that I'm doing this all of my phone).

Turn 16

Spoiler: Crunch (click to show/hide)

Mandator: jump to melee of Koganasun, shoot the Ayes (2 missiles, 7 lasers Short)
Ayes: continue jump
T-Lock: Disengage
Koganasun: Jump to melee of Mandator

Received:
Ayes: 2 missiles, 10 lasers
Mandator: 5 missiles

Defence:
Ayes: shields block 2 lasers | 8 lasers, 2 missiles hit
Mandator: 5 PD hits | nothing gets through

Hits:
Ayes: Missiles: 3, 6. Lasers: 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 6

Damage:
Ayes:
- 2: 1 laser blocked, DC reset
- 3: 1 laser blocked, laser array destroyed
- 4: 1 laser blocked, laser array destroyed, Impulse Thruster damaged
- 6: nothing to damage

Ayes evasion is reduced!

Seemingly happy to let its passive Jump Interference keep the Koganasun pinned, the Mandator turns back to its favourite bullying victim for another round of "dodge the laser".

A game the Ayes does not excel at. Once again bursting the Ayes' shield, lasers score the vessel destroying the last of the weapon systems and blowing through several of the vessel's maneuvering thrusters. The few remaining ones will struggle to move the vessel as easily.

Wait for Godot.

[evictedSaint]

Madman, quit fucking around and kill someone already.

It's actually all manual, but you could automate most of it. If I'm honest, the longest part for me is writing the description, because I am no wordsmith (although it probably doesn't help that I'm doing this all of my phone).

You're fucking insane, friend.  God damn looney tunes.

[Madman198237]

Continue jump operation, fire all weapons at the Ayes again. I might not catch them all but I will probably get two of them.

[Maxinum McDreich]

COMPLETE THE DISENGAGE! (I'm giving her all she's got captain!)

[Haspen]

Because I'm a terrible person, imma plug myself in.

A different take on both Battleships and IN SPACE variant. Might or might not be unbalanced as heck.

[evictedSaint]

Please forgive me if this has been explained already, I'm just terribly curious:

What is the exact order of operations for a turn? I gather it's something like the following?
- Weapons fire
- Ship jump drive progresses (potentially jumping)
- Repair progress advances (potentially repairing)
- Countermeasures and damage rolls
- Jump Occurs, distance between ships changes
- Powerbalance count, shields count

So, for example, a ship can jump the same turn their jumpdrive gets ko'd because all actions happen simultaneously? Or can you cripple a ship the same turn they're due to jump and prevent the jump from occurring? Can you fire a weapon that's repaired the same turn, or do repairs occur at the end of the turn?

[Jilladilla]

Ah right, sorry.

Repair Mass Driver #1 and 3. Continue jumping 'uncomfortably close' to Mandator.

[Powder Miner]

I love how completely unhesitantly the T-Lock just went "SEEYA GUYS, GOOD LUCK"

[Madman198237]

It's not cowardice if you've already lost and your friends are just being stubborn (and/or blasted into so many pieces that they can't escape)
