Clearly qoou should run both sides of the battle, having been nominated by both parties!
 
OOC: I can't get on #nes. It says "no more connections allowed from your host via this connect class." HELP :(

Also, qoou running both sides of the battle?

Nice story thlayli.
 
In unrelated news, Hank-Sobor has ships! These ships move things! People, resources, information, physical objects large and small! We have lots of ships in lots of places, send us moneys and we'll move your stuff!

This message has been paid for in part by the advertising division of the Hank-Sobor Consortium. Yes, we have officially changed the spelling to Sobor, to avoid the implication that we are straight-laced and not down with the hip ways of our young people, who form a critical market in the high-stakes world of interstellar transportation. This message has also been paid for in part by Sponch! Sponch: Wherever it comes from, Sponch contains exactly the right nutrients for a healthy human body.
 
I seriously need to get a publicist for the Zera.

Spoiler Transcript:The Battle of Adama's Vineyard UC 4972 :

The Standards have sent a small battlefleet to show the flag at Adama's vineyard

Will they gain tactical surprise?

YES, the lack of scanners proves crucial and the Zera are unaware of their presence

The Standards have one round of unopposed action.

Round 1 (Standard Surprise)
>Abilities
>Long Range Weapons
>Engagement

Both ne'er do wells move to the eastern fringe planetary instance unopposed

The Zera ground batteries will be unable to hit them!

Will the Zeran fighters be able to scramble before the Standard Marksman gets its seige attack?

Round 2
>Desperate Diplomacy?
THERE WILL BE NO PEACE TODAY
>Abilities phase

The standard carriers unload their carried ships

>Long Range phase
>Engagement Phase
The valiant Zeran fighters stream into an orbital trajectory

>Close range phase

Round 3
>Abilities Phase
The pivotal part of the battle is where does the Standard commander apply the power of his beam weapon?

...and the Marksman is saved to target the incoming fighter wing!
>Long Range Phase
Gentlemen - Choose your targets!

The Zerans unleash a volly of light missiles, all aimed dead at the Standardite Marksman

The Marksman retaliates with a deadly beam o' fury, and the Transports also fling back some light missiles

CRUNCHING...
Since the Marksman cannot move, every missile hits home for a total of 22 DAMAGE

The Marksman doesn't live up to its name and the beam misses by dozens of kilometers (double checking the chances to hit reveal it has exactly nil chance to hit the fighters with that high a dodge, esp since they are backed up by 2 points of fleet init provided by the ground guns)

The same unfortunately goes for the missiles of the transports

This is their home ground, and the Zerans are feeling frisky!

>Engagement phase
See the failure of the current strategy, the Razorfins prep to lock and load, and stream out of the planets gravity well to the waiting Zeran swarm above

>Close range phase
NA

Round 3
>Abilites phase
The marksman shifts its gears, and fans its beams onto the pusher plates of the Razorfins, accelerating them to LUDICRIS SPEED


BREAKING NEWS: THE STANDARDS SAY THEY WILL NOT FIRE DURING THIS ROUND.
" A WARNING SHOT HAS BEEN FIRED IN THE DEFENCE OF FREEDOM. WE INTEND TO PEACEFULLY MOVE TO THE NORTHERN ISLES AND LAND, AS THEY ARE A SOVERIEGN STATE. ANY FURTHER ZERAN AGGRESSION WILL BE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS"

Zeran decision time!

THE ZERANS DECIDE TO OPEN FIRE

All the standards die

BATTLE OVER!
 
Dis is total meanie and won't show this:

[19:17:45] <Matt> The Standards may surrender, and be spared
[19:17:48] <Matt> to the Zera
[19:17:50] <Matt> if they do not
[19:18:03] <Matt> they will be fired upon
[19:18:28] <Dis> npe they are going to head to the northern

There's other stuff but the logs are very extensive and would take many posts that I don't fell like clogging the thread with.

OOC: So the Standards fired a warning shot the previous round even though they're out-gunned, out-missiled and outnumbered? :confused: I wish I could have been on #nes :(

@kal, that looks good.
 
Do not rush to conclusions Thlayli. PCs, unlike the NPCs, cannot be so easily fooled.

My fleet upkeep goes down, Matt becomes (more of) a massive pariah state, and my diplomatic objectives are achieved? Mission accomplished.

We lost tens of thousands of lives and hundreds of e in material! Well that's great, we no longer have to pay them!

We zoomed out a warfleet without warning into a sovereign state's low orbit and rejected a peace offer over the comms! We tried to retreat without surrendering only after the battle was clearly lost, and now we will complain you're monsters for pursuing a hostile enemy!
