suggest using corvettes supported by repair corvettes to deal with the threat to the resource operation. keep fighters close to the mothership - they have the speed to be deployed as needed from there as need dictates.

[Sheb]

Aren't the fighter and their support frigate stationed near the ressources collector? If they are there, they should deal with the other fighter, with support from the corvette in the squad. Don't chase them too far away though: our aim is to protect our ships.

[SHAD0Wdump]

We've got Assault frigates + light corvettes under my command to hold off attacks on the Mothership. I say the current fighters should go to fend off the attacks on our collectors.

I also say we should use the extra resources to build a new wing of strike craft under the command of another individual. This might also allow some flexibility so my frigates can reach out and touch someone if something big shows up on the scene instead of being glued to the Mothership 24/7.

Salvage corvette those incoming enemy frigates.  Steal everything that isn't nailed down and on fire.

We're in space now, fires are easy to put out. Still can't defeat the dreaded nail, though.

[MonkeyHead]

Yes, but thanks to "No More Nails^tm", they are on the way to becoming obsolete.

What, you're trying to replace nails with GLUE? Sure, I don't mind having everything I own stolen by the protagonist.

Oh, its been two weeks? I'll get an update done (hopefully) later today.

Incoming enemy frigates!? Where!? I don't see any.

Things aren't going too well for the Bay12 expedition. 

Spoiler: Mission 4: Great Wastelands - Update 16 (click to show/hide)

As ordered, our fighter wing engages the enemy.





But they just keep coming.





Overwhelmed, the fighters can't stop the enemy from sending a strike wing at the mothership.





I rally the assault frigates and they start to peck away at the puny fighters.






Things are getting even worse at the resource collection. Enemy is bringing in missile corvettes.





At least the mothership is safe along with the utility craft.






So yah. By this time I figured a change of strategy was in order or our fighter strikewing will get wiped out. Its already lost half its numbers.

Ion Cannon Frigate: One of my favorite weapons of Homeworld. Its has a fixed barrel mount that fires from the front of the ship. A "accelerator" or something runs along the length of the ship, and what it produces it a very lethal beam of concentrated ions. The beam lasts about 1-2 seconds before it needs to recharge(which takes about 6 seconds I believe). The beam is instant kill on fighters and corvettes, and very effective against frigates. But due to its fixed mount, its not useful at all as an anti-fighter role.

When ion beam power was harnessed, the scale necessary to produce a severely damaging beam meant that an entire Frigate could hold only one cannon. The acceleration ladder alone runs the entire length of the ship. What results is a devastatingly powerful, focused ion beam.




I took a moment to start a queue of 15 interceptors.

So as I said before, we are in quite the pickle. Retreating our resourcing operation might have been a good idea, but eh. Its still possible, but casualties will be high. What to do....

[Orb]

Revive, my LP, revive! 






So, I'm going to try picking this up again, it being summer and all. I also got rid of dial-up, so uploading pictures will only take a fraction of the time it used to.


However, I was considering taking this in a new direction. Might go with a less interactive version, sort of like how Erkki is doing his War in the Pacific LP. Thoughts?

[Sheb]

As you wish. However, Erkki is going against a human player, so there is real excitement in that he may lose.

[Orb]

True. Hm.

I certainly want to finish this, along with a few other threads I left unfinished. Eh. I'll forge ahead, and if you guys want to provide commands, be my guest. Otherwise, unlike before, I'll just continue the LP with or without commands.

Spoiler: Mission 4: Great Wastelands - Update 17: Forging Ahead (click to show/hide)

So, here we are again. Getting mauled by missile corvettes.



I take the initiative to retreat. Unfortunately, I don't think any fighters will make it back to base.



I also send in the assault frigates to provide covering fire.



A few seconds later I get this wonderful message.



With only salvage corvettes to defend the mothership, I decide to use them.






It doesn't go so well, with their ion cannons(which have a faster rate of fire than normal ones) already trained on them.



With the resource collectors returned, the fight is centered around the mothership. The new interceptors prove their worth.



I also send in our ion cannon frigate, the only anti-capital ship unit left, to take care of the enemy ones.



Then the research station kicks the bucket. By the time I realized it, healers were too far out to do any good.





...and that's the last of them.



I take a moment to regroup, and heal.




So, we meet again.





At this moment, once again due to my lack of paying close attention, our ion frigate gets rammed by the enemy carrier, and explodes. I was a bit worried at this point we might not have enough firepower to finish the mission.



My worries were ill placed, and the carrier explodes in a spectacular halo of blue.

FI: The Turanic Raiders have been defeated. We can now return to our immediate goal: preparation for an attack on the Taiidan fleet that devastated Kharak.

FI: Using data from the Taiidan vessel captured at Kharak, we have been able to determine their location. If we strike now we can take advantage of their damaged condition.

FI: Hyperspace coordinates have been transferred to Fleet Command.

For all our troubles, I only scrape enough RUs to build another research station.

For whatever reason, that mission went horribly wrong.

[Sheb]

So, can we collect some more ressources to make an half-potent fleet?

[inteuniso]

agreed. That fleet couldn't put a dent in a taiidan corvette.

[Flying Dice]

Looking forward to Orb taking on the Garden with this, though.
