For awhile now, we've been building up our forces for a strike against the fortress of Belfast. We've got Operation Odessa coming up soon with enemy NPC fleets to launch from Belfast AND Malta though. Last run, these fleets had enough fighter power to completely level Constantinople without any MS, tank, or ship support.
We have a unique opportunity to eliminate one of the staging grounds for Operation Odessa this week, but I want to hear what you guys have to saw on which target we attack on Friday. Here are a few pros and cons of each target. SS and SAF, feel free to give your opinions because we love you too.
We've got scouting reports on both of them (Ket said that you get plans for any base you owned that gets captured, so we've got a Malta report.) so that's not an issue.
Destroying either would also get rid of a NPC fleet for Odessa so that's not an issue either.
Belfast Pros: Europe would become Zeon territory Cons: It is the more heavily-defended of the Fed bases in the region.
Malta Pros: We'd have a better chance of destroying it with its lighter defenses Cons: Europe would remain contested

I say we aim high and go for Belfast.

Does Europe become Zeon controlled if we take Belfast, or not?

Well, they would possess no fortresses in the region while we would have Constantinople.

So yes. Doesn't necessarily mean they couldn't launch an operation from Malta, though. Since it still counts as friendly territory and they can still purchase ships.

And I like told Chris, if he really thinks a single Zanzibar and the Apsalus can destroy Malta, then I'll send G-Force after the 87th.
Edit: 'cause if we destroy Malta, it becomes ours again, even if it's just a hole in the ground. If they wanted it as a staging point again, they'd have to come and fight for it.
