Given that the Tarkan have a maximum cruising speed of warp 8.6, they'll probably get to Miperia/Fleet A before anyone else (warp 8-8.4) does. Ah, but wait - the saBOTeurs should have slowed down the Tarkans by messing with their engines, remember? Maybe a few of them, I was thinking of emoting something about that, but then I forgot. I'll go back and see if I can't fit it in. They might have slowed down slightly for a time, but they wouldn't wait for the 100 or so ships whose engines were so severely damaged they could no longer go on. Those would have been abandoned and their crews evacuated on to other ships. |

Mmm, okay then. Might as well emote it.

As Etzan ordered, the Tarkans would speed towards the Miperiors capital in a loose but heavily protected formation. Condors patrolled the periphery of the procession, constantly scanning around them for any threats. Several battalions--and sometimes the entire armada--were forced to slow down several warp factors to deal with the problems the saBOTeurs were causing. Many measures were taken to try to mitigate the problem, meeting with limited success. Some ships, the earliest to be afflicted, were so damaged they were inoperable and had to be evacuated and abandoned in the middle of Miperiors space. Despite this, the armada moved inexorably forwards. If left unopposed, they would near the capital and be able to see the Miperiors deployment ahead of them. Said deployment, and the actions of the fleets to their right and left, would influence Etzan's decision making. There we go.  Do you agree with this? |

Sure, that'd work.

Alright, Fleet A wouldn't make it to fleet C, Sirga is travelling at warp 8.6 while the Mips are going at 8.1-8.2 (I think).
A similar thing would happen to the oyher two fleet, as Etzan would swerve towards one of them.
Thoughts?
EDIT: OH. You took all of this into account. Sorry, I misread your emote.
After I emote, do you want to start the battles on dedicated threads?

Sure. |

Could you prepare formations for the two fleets? As the defender, you'll be posting first. Etzan will be attacking fleet A.

I know nothing of making fleet images D: It's also technically Ace's fleet too, so I'll have to go it over with him.

Do it =D Will they stay at warp? If so, Sirga and Etzan will attack them and try to force them out of it. (see Battle for the Aeoneonatrix Empire for an example of a warp-skirmish)

Alright then, first things first. This is my 100th post. I need to make it count.   Yaaay. Now that that's out of the way, yes, I intend for Fleet A to stay in warp. I'm not too sure about Fleet B, I have to check with Ace on that one. |

So unless anything special occurs the Farengeto will just be watching from en route for the moment. They'll drop in some time during the attack on Miperia, when that occurs.

I love you, gmfk. Now that that's out of the way, yes, I intend for Fleet A to stay in warp. I'm not too sure about Fleet B, I have to check with Ace on that one. Alright. Can you start a thread in the Battle of Miperiors sub-board for the Sirga–Fleet A engagement and emote the Miperiors–Amphibibot deployment? (You can name the fight anything you like.) I'll be moving everything to the sub-board so we can keep track of it all. xD As for Fleet B–Etzan, how are we going to come up with a working autoresolve system? We know that the Miperiors–Amphibibots are bound to lose all of their force, but how many casualties would Etzan take? Any ideas, Tek? |

If you give me a bit of time I could probably code an autoresolve algorithm, then I can just input and run whenever we need. If you want I can set it to include ship types too. I've already got the general idea forming in my head, so I should be able to make at least an alpha version tonight. |

Sure, okay. But it'd also be a matter of how many turns that battle would take.

Also Tek, remember that there are 1,600 bombers in fleet B that aren't counted in the fleet's ship total. That should at least go into consideration for the auto-resolve.

Also Tek, remember that there are 1,600 bombers in fleet B that aren't counted in the fleet's ship total. That should at least go into consideration for the auto-resolve. Etzan has a lot of light ships and would use them intelligently to ward off the bombers. We'll have to see how we can factor them in. |

Actually, I forgot the Amphibibots. Sorry, Ace! The bomber total is about 1724 per fleet, and 125 fighters per fleet.

Anyways, I've got some sort of fleet design, but how you make those stars in the background is a mystery.

Do you agree with this?
