Turn off Laser Array #6, turn on Jump Drive. Aim for Short range with the Mandator.
Fire all lasers on Snail.

No, no, we don't need their responses. Clearly they just want to give their crews a break this turn, no actions required.

I mean, I'm waiting for next turn for the jump completion. Where I am currently, I can't hit anything, unless I can specify orders of shootage on arrival?

I wouldn't have been concerned if it was just yourself Max, but as we we're waiting for Jilla as well I wanted to give you the opportunity to change your mind.

Turn 4

The Snail's concern at the arrival of the Koganasun was eclipsed only by its immediate firing of all eight Mass Drivers at the Frigate. Desperate evasive maneuvers were ordered as weapons were bared to return fire. The Snail's smaller broadside of three mass drivers, along with the Missile Launcher respond as at Short Range the Mandator joined in with its laser batteries and missiles.

The Snail's Point Defences cannons open fire on the ferrous slugs, ablating and tumbling them in the void, yet there were far too many. The basic PD struggled to hit the small, hardend targets, whilst the Advanced defence cannon destroyed one, two and landed a hit on a third just as the barrage arrived, pounding the front half of the vessel. The armour plating served the ship well, but the unarmoured Jump Drive suffered repeated hits, venting xenoric plasma and unlucky engineers into space, as well as preventing the ship's escape.

In total, 13 hits (of which 7 were damaging), were registered across various systems, whilst the shields were repeatedly bled by shots from the Ayes.

The Koganasun's point defence, whilst less advanced, was far more numerous and had fewer targets. However, it did not have shields, so the barrage from the Mandator immediately hit the hull, leaving deep burns and repeatedly destroying the weapon mounts.

Finally, the T-Lock jumps into the fray, arriving at Long Range.

Fire another full salvo at the Koganusan.

What happened to my shields? I thought I intercepted all the missiles.  ???
Stick to the plan. (Fire on the Snail, jump into close range with the Mandator)

There's the error. I had accidentally rolled too many missiles at you, but I must've missed that when cleaning up the mistake.

Apologies. Got distracted/forgot. Also damn Madman, those rolls were perfect... (Kashyyk, why is one of my mass drivers off? I turned them all on in exchange for a jump drive... Ah well, I can turn on everything now anyways)


Turn on everything,  Damage Control to Mass Drivers 1 and 4,  Fire upon the Snail again with everything, wait for jump to complete

(No fluff this time, sorry...)

I think i just forgot to update the text for it.

Turn 5

Spoiler: Crunch (click to show/hide)

Sustained fire from every ship present leaves a web of light in the retina. The Ayes successfully breaks the shields of the Snail, scoring a hit against the Mass Driver as the Koganasun's kinetic barrage annihilates the rear reactor module and the nearby weapons systems, leaving it almost defenceless against the incoming missile barrage from the T-Lock.

Meanwhile, the Mandator's laser barrage chews through the Koganasun's weakened armour (thanks to the shots from the Snail), grinding down the ship's Jump advantage and defanging the armoured battleship even more, but not enough to prevent the Koganasun from closing to melee range eith the Mandator. The Ayes also takes the opportunity to move closer to the brawl, ready to make maximum use of its lightspeed weaponry.


The Field (Long Range)
 |- Edge of T-Lock's Personal Space (Short Range)
 |   |- Snail
 |   |- The Ayes
 |   ->  Battleship Brawl (Melee)
 |       |- Mandator
 |       -> Koganasun
 -> T-Lock
