Must have missed that one.

The MAC shell on the other hand, if it misses and hits a rock, there is no chance I can guarantee that its resulting rock family will avoid the station.

here, I made a map.


Does it look about right everyone?



The station
Kissaki ship-Grave
NTC
Nova's Assault fleet
Amherst
Wave of Mines
Hadrox/Praser/Alex


And hopefully the force from the MAC shell hitting a rock will be enough to send it flying away from the station. Hopefully.

Yes. Although your map's colors are kinda blending in so its hard to make out the individual colors of each fleet.

Also, Alcas, if you can't play I can place your character on hold, make sure that no one hurts him. If you do decide to come back, I'll just tell you a brief but extensive summary of what happened. If you do want to withdraw now, just tell us.

Me being a douche again. And no me announcing that I am a douche should not have the affect of making me less of a douche, you're absolutely right. =P

I don't know why you have me that close to you but ok. unless the scale is 1 inch for 5000 km, then your a bit off. I'm allied with NTC now, so it's not like I had I was out in timbuktu with you guys. I started at least a thousand of kilometers in front of you and have smaller ships that don't have to dodge as much or take hits as much, just kinda fit through the gaps ('cept the carrier, but even it is initially faster than your big old bruiser).

As far as the mines go... anywhere you see black instead of the white of an asteroid, there are mines. It's a defensive field, not a trap that I just now laid. The ones I am carrying are simply the ones that were going to be far enough to your left and right that they wouldn't track so I am moving them in closer.

The asteroid field is also a lot more dense that you seem to realize. All asteroid fields are. A result of both gravity and electromagnetic forces.

Also sending out strikecraft in an asteroid field may seem like a good idea because they are small, but the electromagnetic interference in a field means that they fly almost solely on visual, lacking sophisticated tracking systems (unless yours happen to have them), and a fist sized asteroid could destroy a strikecraft. Just a note for next time and why I didn't send my strikecraft out.

@ Zako

I don't know. I was just thinking because I have a lot of work to do and what not at the uni, and no offense but I don't see this RP lasting. Part of that coming to fruition would be if I left and then there was only 4 players around, 3 of them on the same side. I'm just completely disillusioned with this one. I also can't stop handing out random corrections to people, and that has got to be annoying to the other guys (see above), sorry about that but my mouth (fingers?) just won't quit.

You have been very patient Alcas. I also have the same feelings about this RP lately. Right now I am trying to give everyone clues to on what they might expect when the RP proceeds onward with the story.

As for the asteroid belt part, although you are correct in observing that strikecrafts are capable of navigating an asteroid field, what I intended is to have the Kissaki Station be located on the safe zone near the edge of the Asteroid field meaning everyone trying to get in and out will not have to weave through a massive rocks. Big fleets will be unable to go inside without getting badly damaged while smaller craft will be able to get in easily. As for electromagnetic interference, your shields could prevent some of that from frying your stuff. This is small time radiation so It should not be a problem for anyone.

Also...Timer that last paragraph in your post made no sense. Please rewrite it and check for grammar.

Edit: Timer just hacked a SOS beacon?...don't know what good that did...

hacked it to get the codes its broadcasting, otherwise wouldn't the sentry's fire on it ?

You know...did you ever think to wonder how the Kissaki ships became like that in the first place? The station is unarmed.

You're insane Slips.

If I'm doing the math right, you're literally sacrificing thousands of men. All while sending them into massed fire and then into cramped conditions versus a highly dangerous defense system. All while managing to have them keep ranks while basically fighting with Horde tactics. Did you pump their air full of combat stims?

Also, Zako. Did I rescue anyone from that frigate, or was that just not important?

There's a single person on board the frigate. Just bring him your to you ships and I will take care of the interaction.

Has anyone begun to think what may be inside the big hangar?

Hmm?

Er.. not so much.

We're not very good at understanding what there actually is. We don't take hints well, and we often don't seem to get the battlefield right. I assumed we were saying our troops just moved towards where ever seemed to have something, or else just pretty much everywhere.

So... is it too late to say some of them went towards the hangar, or something?

_________________

I had no idea we were supposed to be going towards the hangar. All I knew was to go "in" towards something. Ditto what Neo said. . .

Are we allowed attack Alcas' ships?

He hasn't responded to the last attack so probably not.
