Nice, only two casualities! Well, fall back on mothership, and aggressively attack carrier as soon as my ships are repaired.

Also, if you got any spare interceptors to replace my casualities, please add them to my squad.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Just wanted to point this out -----> We only need to defend against the carrier. Destroying the carrier may be the quicker route, but its the biggest thing we have tried to kill. Weapon specs are really unknown(well, I know them, but I'm pretending I don't, as with most things). Perhaps send a probe first or something?

"Edit" Then again, you seem to know what you are doing. We can always restart if it ends badly. Keep them on evasive tactics when they arrive?

I've done it before, not without casualties, but that's because I wasn't paying attention. Just keep some ships/interceptors available to kill anything that comes out.
 I'd also recommend a repair frigate to keep the fuel and HP of the light corvettes up.

I also never tried evasive on the carrier, I forget if corvettes also have fuel, if they do, switch to normal tactics on arrival. And if there isn't a interceptor escort availible, keep two of the corvettes on watch for other ships.

I'll put a poll up, because I don't want to split our forces up.


Also, once again, I'm pretending to play this blind. I'll try not to take the natural precautions, makes it more interesting....I think. So so far all I know is that this ship carries fighters/corvettes and is launching the enemy forces that are attacking us.


Sheb, your squad was defending the salvage corvette. You had no losses.


Finely, we don't have a repair frigate, I'm guessing you meant repair corvette Shadow?

Oh, and corvettes do have limited fuel, but a lot more than fighters.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Finely, we don't have a repair frigate, I'm guessing you meant repair corvette Shadow?

Whoops! Yes, that's what I meant.

[Sheb]

Nice. I say attack then.

[Frajic]

Head on; apply directly to the carrier!

[Orb]

I so easally put this off....must be getting bored with it.

Anyway, I'll have a lot of free time in the next few days, so I should be able to get an update in per day.

Spoiler: Mission 2: Outskirts of Kharak System - Update 9 (click to show/hide)

Head on; apply directly to the carrier!

Pretty much sums up this update.




Using the hotkey "d" I tell our damaged group to dock. I'll send them to join our attack if I get the chance.




I have organized our groups(taking your guy's advice) into 3 power groups. The corvettes are in wall formation on aggressive tactics, they will attack anything the carrier spews out on us. The interceptors(split because one is Sheb's squad) are in delta formation and will focus on attacking the carrier. I may put them on aggressive if the carrier has no weapons.




Wow they are coming in fast. Corvettes will go first to clear the enemies as we close in on the carrier.




And so it begins.




Pretty easy.




Now the missile corvettes.




Er. We have too little firepower to deal with all these units just with the light corvettes. I'm introducing the fighters into the fray. I also combined our resupplied interceptors with the other group.


A few moments later.....








FI: To protect against penetration of the Kharak System, destroy the attacking force completely




I guess thats our queue! Lets go get us some carrier.





Eh, seems we are a tad overwhelmed. I also lost two scouts at this point, I forgot to give them orders.





Finely, its starting to run out of ships to throw at us. Time to go on the offensive.





Our corvettes are pretty beat up. Told our repair corvette to start healing them.





The carrier is in sight. Its just within reach to blow up.....





Wait what? They're running? Aha! Last stand I see. At least they die honorably...






WHAT!? They're retreating!? God dang cowards.....







Sigh, orders are orders. Maybe we will enact our revenge another day. I tell all my ships to dock. All there is left to do is clean up and then.....

We finished researching heavy corvette upgrade.





It allows us to build the heavy corvette. It costs 250 RUs.


More armored than its light cousin, the Heavy Corvette adds a second high powered turret to an  already powerful craft. Its turrets allow the Heavy Corvette to track two Fighters at once and also make it a moderate threat to Capital Ships.

It also has a charged burst attack special ability. I'm not very familiar with it.


We also have 434 RUs left over from the conflict. Any build orders before we hyperspace?


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview






Ships









Squads


Alpha Squadron: 10 Interceptors lead by Sheb
Beta Squadron: 7 light corvettes lead by Shadow

So that's it. I think it went pretty well overall, except for the scout loss. I would have had to be reckless to actually get to the carrier, which would have been more losses.


Also, with the remaining funds we can get the 2 salvage corvettes needed for Jappa's squad. You still watching Jappa?


"Edit" Sorry, I was wrong, we can only get 1 more salvage corvette. If we recycle the scouts, we should be able to get two(actually 1 scout should be enough).

[Sheb]

Nice. Throw a party in the capital ship celebrating my achievment's today. I'm sure to get a promotion after this!

[Orb]

No orders?


Did I lose almost everyone with the long wait?

[Sheb]

Well, isn't the mission over? I was waiting for the next one.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Yeah, waiting for the next mission man.

[Orb]

We also have 434 RUs left over from the conflict. Any build orders before we hyperspace

I was refering to that. Should have repeated it at the end.


Otherwise, I'll save it and use it for whatever the next mission throws at us.

[Sheb]

MOAR INTERCEPTOR for my squad. Please.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Actually, I insist more salvage corvettes, you'll need them eventually.

Alrighty. I'm just going to throw up a quick poll on what we should spend it on, I will try to update in about 13 hours.
