Mine Killing thread(advised actions thread)

Side 1 wouldn't prevent a fight. I've said this before, but there is absolutely no penalty for fighting in Side 1. Please don't use it as a free zone.

Damocles really, really needs to repair. I do not want to deploy it right away if we don't have to.

I was going to make a thread but fuck you

Anyway, we're going to have Buster Ni Go go to Side 4 while Cygnus goes to Side 2. Cygnus will destroy Hardboiled first (for odessa and VP), then hit mines. Ni Go will blow as much shit up as it can in Side 4 before it is destroyed.

Damocles will either repair or move to 2e to repair. I will be going to Side 7 to pick up our new toy.

Actions: Everyone but sean, please transfer RP to Rachel Arronax. Nirvash and Zero-0, I want you to hold onto 100 RP each. EVERYONE, please specify optional armaments, but Cygnus should focus on shit that will let them run away. Damocles should prepare for long distance bombardment.

BM, if you could update the title to reflect the fact that we have advised actions in this thread, I'd appreciate it.

Right but I thought any kind of fighting inside of Side 1 would result in a violation of the CMC neutrality. We couldn't even have the Cygnus dock at one of the colonies there for repairs even? I figure the whole neutrality thing would be a deterrant against the ZEF remnants from attacking.

Anywho. How do you suppose we deal with the Hardboiled? My concern with using a Cygnus ambush action is that it could draw the Solomon defences in to the fighting.

Eh, I'm reluctanted about having the Cygnus possibly provoking Solomon defences into coming out looking for a fight with the fleet.

Have we ruled out using a patrol in 3e? If Radune does send it out we could still catch the bastard while not having to worry about the Solomon defences or the Solomon fleet getting involved.

Also true about the CMC neutrality thing but we still couldn't use their repair facility to repair the Cygnus incase of damage. If the ZEF do follow and attack they would have to put up with the CMC defences in the process. Is the concern more along the lines that they may not accept a fleet to walk in to their territory?

That is what I was forgetting \o/

I'm down for mine killing. I'd suggest maybe combining both PC fleets and returning to 2e once we are done to slaughter the 3 Zeon fleets in the area. Would ket allow us to be aided by the 3 NPC EFSF fleets in the same location? They are technically blocking each other.

Okay, guys, if we're still planning on attacking Hardboiled, I think we should be able to take it out with absolute minimal damage. What we can do is have my Mobile Suit, along with a few GMs (Who will operate in whatever mode they have that's close to passive mode or whatever) drift along behind some Mobile Suit-grade asteroid dummy balloons. Even if they detect us, I should be able to snipe the Hardboiled in the bridge or other weak vital points before they can get Mobile Suits to us or try to fire on us. Right about then is when the remaining forces in the fleet can come in and BLAST THE FUCK OUT OF IT.
Two things options here: I can either be (A)ing it from the beginning, or I can actually be shooting from within the fleet. If we do this without leaving the fleet to snipe, I'd like anti-beam chaff to be launched before our ships are actually within firing range, to cover our approach and any MS who have gone ahead. This should also give us some time to get our GMs to cover the distance between themselves and whatever Mobile Suits the Zeeks launch.
My only concern is what kind of forces they're going to build up around the Hardboiled, but if all things are timed properly, I should be able to snipe the fuck out of some Zeek ships.
Honestly, this idea isn't as much of a battle proposal as it is me just getting ideas out there. Anything to help, even if it only makes you re-evaluate your plans for a moment.
