Aaaand we're back!
"GENTLEMEN!"
Odd as it feels, Sensei must be addressing you, since there's nobody else around.
"TODAY, we shall bear our force against a mighty enemy, that we might not all return! And today I call upon an old proverb- keep your friends close, and stick them between you and your enemies!"
"Yes, I RE
mBEr that prov
ERB."
"RAM, shut it!" This time it was CJ.
"Yes, indeed, CJ- we don't need any of RAM's nons-"
"NO, and you shut it too!"
"My plan remains. Stick behind the leviathan, and let it take the brunt of the damage, since it's a rental."
All were in favor.
The first volley of missiles flies at the Leviathan... and, anticlimactically, they run out of fuel and reactivate their safeties before they reach their target.
You wait until the enemy ship clashes with the leviathan. When its deflectors are overloaded, Sensei calls for a charge. RAM heads towards the back of the enemy ship, where its heavy weapons will be facing his aegis.
Zchris scores a big hit on the ship, and CJ aligns himself to target the TIE fighters. RAM is... uh... having a thruster failure...
Despite his idiot speech, Sensei is credit to team- the foe's primary weapons succumb to the Mauler's Autocannons!
Meanwhile CJ lies amidst a field of debris,
his puny mortal foes falling as wheat to a scythe, and fleeing like the cowards they are BEFORE HIS BURNING WRATH! RUN, COWARDS! I HUNGER!
You chase your crippled foe across the starscape! Pillage and burn!
I didn't catch SHADOWdump's flamethrower, but it's what exposed the core. CJ and Shadow finished him with obscene amounts of blaster fire.
AFTER BATTLE REPORTI need to fix some AI bugs, but other than that it was great. Zchris might be in line for a (slight) nerfing, or it's time for buffing all around. Either way, that ship fell way faster than I thought it would- although the Leviathan absorbing its alpha and sinking its deflectors surely had something to do with that. Nobody was seriously damaged in this battle.
Redwarrior0 should have his ship rebuilt and have some deflectors. Tomorrow I'll post Zorgn's fresh new cruiser.
There's also the matter of what to do with a couple torpedo launchers you've recovered. You have a nanorepairer as well- however, it's an extremely complex device, and you're not sure how to use it.
The shotgun is in testing. By which I mean, I hope to get around to testing it. However, I dunno about putting it on RAM's ship- shotgun+aegis seems weird, and probably pretty cheap if it can fire through the aegis.
