What about a curve? Main firepower in the middle, supportive fire on the sides.

[Digital Hellhound]

The base is only lightly defended, which is quite odd. The main bulk of pirate forces seems to have left. Maybe a large-scale raid?



Captain Argunn orders up a formation, threating to unleash the guns of the Avalanche on anyone who won’t follow orders.
The Fleet moves into position as well as they can.



The first line; The Lucky Punk, another Nex and Captain Harene’s Watchman, hammer the undefended back of the pirate base.
The middle section handles anyone who tries to disrupt them, with Captain Argunn also providing long-range fire support.





A stolen Thanatos-class patrol ship in turn hammers the first section’s shields, but she doesn’t last long when the Avalanche spots her.



Everybody moves up now that the base is exposed, more or less in formation.




However, the Scorpion moves too far up, and gets caught in crossfire from the other side of the base and a weapons platform.
Dagger One shares his friend’s fate, but atleast the debris from the ship crash into the base, breaking off some parts.



There’s nothing more to than watch the base burn.



And burn.





Captain Argunn comes over the comm. He says the next week will be hell for you, with constant combat training and simulations. Then he adds he’s proud of you, and you head home.

Captain Domor, Dauntless, a Nex Support Frigate
Kallista Naween, Dagger 2, a Scorpion Attack Craft
Lemuel Maracaw, Dagger 1, a Scorpion Attack Craft

[Spartan 117]

I'd like some shields please. For the Avalanche to be an effective flagship, it needs to be able to soak up damage. Also, if it can bulletsponge, we may not lose as many ships next mission.

[Digital Hellhound]

Yeah, do what Spartan did, just say what kind of upgrades you want. You can pick two.

[Caesar]

Would I be allowed to make a ship myself with the program you're using? I promise it won't be too.. Strong.

[Digital Hellhound]

Ehh, only if it'd have the exact same stats as the Watchman here, but I'd prefer if you didn't. Still, if you have some great idea, do go on and send it to me somehow. 

[Caesar]

Hmm.. Nevermind. I don't know the exact Watchman stats.

Anyways, if we're getting something new, let me spend all on making sure that my ship can withstand damage.

[Digital Hellhound]

I can tell you the Watchman stats, silly.

HP: 400
AI Range: 450
AI Type: Normal AI
Acceleration: 0.05
Max Speed: 2.00
Turnrate: 0.75

Spartan, I increased your total health and added some Deflectors on your ship. They defend a section of your ship until their energy runs out.

EDIT: Caesar, I'm probably gonna do the same thing to you.

EDIT 2: There you go. Both of you, your new Xarn Solar Engineering Deflector Plates have been installed succesfully, and the new heavy armor is on the way!
Now, Acanthus needs that damage resistance the most, but I'm hoping he'd get something else, like repair nanobots or new guns. (Or, he could take extra health but not the deflectors, thus still affording guns/repair)

[Acanthus117]

Hey, can I make the Lucky Punk more agile and more of a CQB ship? Do whatever you need to do, just make it specialize in close combat.

[Digital Hellhound]

Hey, can I make the Lucky Punk more agile and more of a CQB ship? Do whatever you need to do, just make it specialize in close combat.

Sure, extra speed and turning coming right up! We could also make it a flanking AI, so it wouldn't stand right in front of enemy guns all the time.
It's pretty much already a CQB ship, but I guess I can add some short-range, heavy damage guns to it.

[Acanthus117]

Yay! Also, what kinds of weapons are there for a Nex class?

[Digital Hellhound]

Yay! Also, what kinds of weapons are there for a Nex class?

No big guns, because it's just a support frigate. TacNuke Launchers are more of a battleship thing. There's so many guns in this game I can't list them all, but just pick a category (fast-firing, long-range, missile, Point Defense, etc, etc)

EDIT: I actually had to edit a long-range gun to a close combat weapon for you.
You now have new Serpent-navigation AI and thrusters, and a Modified Ariake Blaster.

[Acanthus117]

Okay, focus on point defense and fast firing stuff.

Do the weapon's weights affect the speed of a ship?

[Digital Hellhound]

Nah.

Do you want me to change that CQB weapon of yours to Point Defense?

[Acanthus117]

No, I would like some versatility in what the Lucky Punk can do. This is pretty rad, man.
