At the moment I am drained and out of ideas.
As I see it the best option at the moment would be to buckle down and defend on Earth...Here is an update if you need it:
The 42nd fleet is disbanded, both the remaining ships leave with heavy damage. Our own Gaw is disabled at the retaken mine. My Sub is not as stealthy as advertised in the shop and caught 3 patrols, it is now heavily damaged. Manila is down to 3 mobile suits. We have the EFSF in orbit. The rest of this week may be rough...so:
Who has an idea?

Well, the Blue Destiny bought a Desert refit, so I doubt he's going anywhere fast. Draco and Andrew are moving to intercept him on Wednesday, but I think that it's possible that the Blue Destiny will meet up with the damaged remains of the 42nd Brigade and either take RF-1 or assault RF-2. Either installation would be very viable for them, especially since the task force that just "defended" RF-1 consists of damaged mobile suits, a light support unit, and a disabled Gaw.
It's possible that they might just leave North Africa though, so for the moment let's focus on the greater problem: Manila.
We underestimated the sheer amount of support aircraft they would purchase, and right now we aren't going to be able to mobilize the resources of infrastructure to match them anywhere close to plane for plane. Chris is going to arrive on Wednesday, which the base should be able to hold out that long, but I think he will probably have to buy flight supports.
Anyway, what I'm getting it is this: Right now (and probably for the foreseeable future) we don't have the manpower or resources to launch a viable offensive. So, Dan, I'm going to have to agree with you - we should be on the defensive for now. I personally would like to see us start building our forces around our mobile suits, as they are our greatest advantage. In particular, I would like to see us using Doms as the core of our forces, and NOT try to match their fighter support with our fighters. tl;dr version - Doms are the future.
Anyway, it was pointed out on the command board that missions were coming up, so it's possible we could get a few people together to work on those next week. For now, though, I think everyone who isn't in North Africa or East Asia to go to one of those two places. It's hard to say how much help we're going to need at each location for now, though.

After the Benedictus is taken care of (I don't believe we should have any issues taking it down), I'm heading to support Manilla as well. I'm not super useful, but I should be better than nothing.

I might also go to Manila for support once my repairing is finished, providing the siege doesn't end before I get there. I'll also be purchasing my MS Team tonight consisting of two Zaku II F's and Veteran pilots to match, since waiting will get the better of me.
Even though we're on the defensive, maybe focusing more on the Resupply fleets in the future could be possible? I know we've talked about it a lot, but I'd really like it if we started choking off their resources.
