"Aye aye, sir" (we didn't sell all the fighters? I thought all we had was the cloaked vesker left.)

[Gotdamnmiracle]

Won't the EMP take out the fighter as well? Can the fighters operate in the atmosphere?

Yes unless they are shielded and no. We actually haven't come across any ship that functions in space and atmo. Maybe when we get to a bigger population center we can find on but I bet it will be a civilian vessel and will require a lot of time to install guns and even then reentry might blow them off or just make them finicky.

The cargo shuttles can operate in the atmosphere.

My bad. Plenty of fighters. "Aye sir. I will have them prepped for launch on your signal."

That bomber was modified for shielding and stealth at the same time a little while ago. It was planned for that bomber to deliver nukes and EMPs some time ago.

No fighters we have can operate in the atmosphere. We have no idea if the installation will have ships at its current time though. Nothing says about it being unguarded.

It feels weird for me to be the one suggesting this, but what if we just have Urist (aka. me) have the codes to open the crate.  If we do have a traitor on board, we can be pretty sure its not an AI, since the saboteur's weapon of choice would be an AI's last choice.  As an AI, I would be the only one not willing to open the crate while its on board, since that would kill me, unlike you humans.

Back-ups.Also if you have a back-up you won't even have to worry about getting of the ship, since you already are of the ship.

Also, A.I. 's are networked systems, and might be/ have been hacked. Also detonating the Emp would kill humans quite quickly, depending on how damaged the lifesupport systems are.
Hacking humans is a bit  harder, but can be done. ( Using lasers to activate certain brain functions with pinpoint accuracy, for example)

[Armok]

What about we just put it in an orbit where it can be easily intercepted in a week or so when we know more?

[werty892]

Instead of fucking around with the EMP n orbit and stuff, why don't we send it, small, unmanned, as a kind of missile towards the settlement before we attack. That will wipe any sensors, and allow us to not be recorded, therefore making sure we don't piss off any nobles

[PyroDesu]

How about we make it so multiple crew members and Urist all have to activate it?

That way, we don't have to worry about any infiltrator setting it off on their own.

I do believe that it was mentioned that the places we're to smash are hardened against EMP? At the very least, we wouldn't be frying much, they're buried to the point where a surface-detonating nuclear weapon won't work, so I doubt EMP (Which a nuke would create on its own, provided the planet has an Ionosphere, which is very likely...) would work.

[adwarf]

Design, or adapt a machine-gun style weapon for the mech-suit. Then proceed to make a proto-type of the mech-suit

[Immortal]

Lets stop screwing around with this EMP entirely. We should just have it so the emp can't be armed until fired. Just like how we currently have all our missiles.. There problem solved. Now lets arm the fighters, prep them, and hit this installation.

Fuel and arm the drones. The rocket drone gets 3 fighter hunters.

I design(not build) a small drone, similair to the crawler drones, but smaller. Armed with a small turret, some small turrets and a whole lot of maintenance equipment this drone will land on other ships, cut himself a way through the hull and then start sabotaging it's internal systems. Can be used as a normal repair drone.

A boarding drone?

Cool, you could probably have it have a gattling cannon. Ship armor is resistant to its small rounds, but not ship crew.

More of a sabotage drone, disabling the cannons and weapons and such. The gun is only to aid it's quick escape when it's discovered.
