"Ah!" mainiac yelps in surprise as KineseN comes up behind him.  He slams the book shut to hide the guilt, then stares in confusion as his crewmate doesn't rip his head off.  Muttering something incomprehensible and noncommital, he gets back to work.

[x2yzh9]

herp de derp? hello?

[inteuniso]

Don't worry, I'm going to update tomorrow and maybe monday.

[Digital Hellhound]

This looks awesome, so don't let it die, any of you.

I HAFT NOT FORGOTTEN

Turn 4:Relocation

Your batallion commander informs all of you that you're transferring to another carrier, the New Hope, for the time being. A Patrol Carrier, it is the flagship of the 54th Recon Group, and the 12th Reconnaissance Fleet.

Spoiler: Fearless (click to show/hide)

You get started repairing. Your squadron commander informs you that he's being transferred to a different company, and you're now squadron commander. Congratulations. It would be wise to requisition some more gunships.

Ships:
1 gunship

Weapons:
Missile Batteries-Full
Beam Emitters-Working
Crew:
3 Engineers
3 Gunners
2 Bridge Officers
Status:
1/9 squadron

Spoiler: Unyielding (click to show/hide)

You begin repairs. Medics come and remove the giant 7-inch splinter from the back of the Engineer's neck. He is alive and well... for the most part. "We're not sure how he's even alive, sir." (94)

Ships:
1 gunship

Weapons:
Missile Batteries-Under Repair
Beam Emitters-Working
Crew:
1 Engineer
4/9 squadron

Spoiler: Vigilant (click to show/hide)

 While the Ganymede cannot replace all your gunships, they can replace your missile ammo.

Ships:
4 gunships

2 Bridge Officers

New option: Customize! When you're in the hangar, you can customize your ship. Mostly for aesthetic purposes that are up to your imagination, your gunships do have an extra slot for any of the following useful upgrades.

3rd Beam emitter: Mounted on the top of the Scimitar, this beam emitter adds a +2 modifier to all combat rolls. It doesn't run out of ammo.
Autocannon: Mounted on the front of the Scimitar, the autocannon is a strong weapon. While it adds a +5 modifier to combat rolls, it runs out of ammo pretty quickly.
Medium Missile Rack: It upgrades your two light missile racks to a bigger, better, medium missile rack. Adds a +3 modifier to combat rolls, and if used sparingly, will last through most encounters.
Extra thruster: Adds another thruster. Gives a +10 modifier to all travel/evade rolls.
Extra Armor/Menaces with Spikes: With extra armor, you are less likely to suffer damage and die. However, you suffer a slight mobility loss.
Medium Shield Generator: A stronger shield generator. Will hold up against flak better, but lasers will still pierce it.

I can't think of any more, but if you have any idea, put them up. I'll most likely approve them.

[Emperor_Jonathan]

>Add Autocannon

>Requisition more gunships.

Paint Gunship black.

[x2yzh9]

Add medium missile rack

Paint the gunship violet, with orange fire streaks running down opposite sides.

[KineseN]

Request for a super booster. This will enable me to speed up to five times in an encounter or +15 to a single travel/evade roll. If this is not possible I just request for an extra thruster.

Paint the gunship shock pink. Real men fly in pink. Besides, it does confuse others when a blur fr pink shoots a ship down, especially since pink isn't the best color to camoflage with in space.

Give the engineer the title:"Survivor of the fittest". You don't have to, but I find it appropriate don't you say?

[Keita]

ENGINEER SCOTTY REPORTING FOR DUTY, SA!

[x2yzh9]

HELLO?

Inteuniso, are you doing finals or something or busy? Because this has great potential.

[inteuniso]

Yeah, I'm sorry for being so late on turns. I've been very busy in school. An art project and an english essay, not to mention a Chemistry lab and math homework. I'm going to get around to doing it today.

Turn 5: New Hope, New Ship

The battalion transfers over to a Peregrine Fast Transport. Able to ferry troops, supplies, and strikecraft, it is a useful tool in the ongoing wars.

Fleet Command, which will be referred to as FLTCOM from now on, still does not know who launched the attack on the Saturn Dockyard (18).

Spoiler: Fearless (click to show/hide)

You are able to requisition 4 gunships. Maybe on the New Hope you'll get back to full strength (55).

When your engineers try to install the autocannon, they seem to have forgotten what it means to make things look nice. They installed the autocannon, but it doesn't look too good. (42)

You paint your ship, along with every ship in your squadron black stripes going down the centerline of the ship. The Firm's colors of gray and blue stay however.

Ships:
1 customized gunship, Fearless (Autocannon, Jet Black stripes)
4 gunships (Jet Black Stripes)

Weapons:
Missile Batteries-Full
Beam Emitters-Working
Autocannon-Full (15 shells)
Crew:
3 Engineers (Jetsquirrel the resurrected)
3 Gunners
2 Bridge Officers
Status:
5/9 squadron

Spoiler: Unyielding (click to show/hide)

You try to paint your ship shock pink. However, it ends up more like a Pepto-Bismol pink, and looks rather ugly. Some of the other batallion captains walk by. They laugh, and fall over laughing. (27)

You get your super booster! I shall call it... the afterburner! Basically, all you do is tell me when you want to use it, and I'll let you use it! And instead of you being able to use it all the time, you can only use it in three turns before you have to refuel. So, it'll help you, but it's limited. Use wisely is all I say. (81)

You give your engineer the title: "Survivor of the fittest". You hear a sound similar to a 21st century console sound. (You're a big history geek)
He's so happy about it, he finds you another engineer named... Scotty! Now you can yell at scotty and SOFT (Survivor of Fittest, The)  whenever you need MOAH POWAH.

Ships:
1 customized gunship, Unyielding (Afterburner, crappy (Hehe, pun) Pink)

Weapons:
Missile Batteries-Full
Beam Emitters-Working
Crew:
2 Engineers (Scotty, SOFT)
7/9 squadron

Spoiler: Vigilant (click to show/hide)

You get your medium missile rack. (73)

You paint your ship with a lavender centerline stripe, along with pumpkin orange flames... because that's what you wanted, right? (35)

You are now referred to as "Scented Candle"

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED

CONFERENCE ROOM, Mastodon class Patrol Carrier, New Hope

Alright men, you may or may not know what you're doing on this ship. It is my job to tell you.

We are en route to a pirate base, deep in the Kepler Belt. Well hidden, a great deal of men fell to find out the wherabouts of this base.

These pirates are heavily armed. Where they are getting this kind of technology is unknown. What we do know is that this base is a jumping-off point to hit 2 major trade routes.

Our job is to destroy the entire base. The siege destroyers Bertha, Howitzer, and Bombard are here to assist us. The enemy strength is suspected to be large, but the Firm's intelligence teams have predicted their patterns for raids. As such, they have launched a decoy caravan, armed to the teeth to keep a large part of their fleet busy. This is when we will strike. The siege destroyers will move in from above the base, all guns blazing, so stay out of their line of fire. The 53rd Gunship Battalion will launch their attack from the left flank, while the 227th will launch their attack from the right. The 73rd Bomber wing and 834th Fighter wing will launch a head-on assault, supported by a force of frigates and corvettes. The carrier will stay back during the battle.

This will be a dangerous battle mentlegen- Ahem, gentlemen. Not everyone will make it back alive.

But we must stop this pirate threat. Our benefactors lose credits every single time one of those raids are successful. We must destroy them at all costs.

Your orders are in front of you. Read them, understand them, memorize them. We arrive in two days.

Dismissed.

[KineseN]

Action for now: Read my orders.

[Emperor_Jonathan]

Read orders.
