To be honest, it's not like our chances of success were all that great anyhow with a single damaged ship. But yeah. Let's regroup.

Hold on a bit fellas, let's not make any rash actions until we get the full update. From what I can read in that short blurb, it doesn't look like the Lucifer's Fury was damaged. But I'm not sure until the full update goes up.
Besides, it took us 3 days to wipe out a Gwazine last run right? Here's hoping everything planned for Monday works out.

Still, with our only fighting ship able to engage in a damaged state, and that's if it doesn't take any more damage during this battle, we're not exactly in a good way here.
I'd like to begin to move to protect our mines. Those clusters won't keep them safe forever, and since they've been able to take out the mines despite their presence, I'd rather keep our economic might safe for the time being. That or dispatch the Hard Boiled to link up with the Azrael and a Jicco to form a fleet to counter Cygnus while the Fury repairs someplace.

What this means is that when reinforcements arrive from 401K (I'll be buying a Musai and Papua to form around the Chivvay II, plus Radune's Hardboiled should be making its way up to +3DE), we need to kill off Wyatt Fleet.
It'll be similar to the attack on Blex Fleet with the exception that there are 30x Saberfish on the Columbus instead of 10x GMs and a Salamis Kai + Magellan instead of two Salamis. The procedure is not much diffferent, but I want to disable that Magellan and separate it from the Magellan Revised so we can capture it.

I'd say dispense with trying to capture anything and just slag the whole fleet. Unless we can do what Latooni did and bring more than a handful of marines into the mix, I have a feeling we'll wind up causing more damage to our own fleets by giving them more of a chance to fight back.
After all, it takes more effort to capture than destroy, and I'd rather we keep more of our fleet intact and dispose of these capture missions. And besides, we gain less benefit from capturing it since it'd be good for little more than fire support, which while nice, we can provide by just getting more ships, or as a MA tug, which our existing ships do just fine.

I'd rather free fire support and the potential to get an assload of Side RP for trading back Wyatt, TBH.

Given how our attempts at capture have gone so far, I'd say it's not worth the trouble of trying to disable and capture. If these were single ships, sure, but in a fleet battle like this? No way.
I'm pretty much done trying to capture anything. From now on, I'm going to shoot to kill every EFSF ship, regardless of the plan. We've lost too much trying to capture them, and even Latooni's attempt barely succeeded, so really, we should just blast them.

I'm not thinking about capturing Wyatt. I mean the second Magellan in his fleet.

Doesn't matter if it's Wyatt or a nobody, I want the entire fleet wiped out.

Fair enough. Also good news from the event. Yoritomo and Radune didn't take damage in the event so that means they should be good for Monday.

That's fortunate for us.
Still, we really should look into keeping the mines safe so we don't lose more income.

Okay, so here's where we are now:
The NPC Salamis Andromeda is now at +2DE. This we expected.
The EFSF though, got someone to join as an EFSF officer in a Salamis.
It is possible that Latooni did this in order to replace the two lost Salamis we killed off last week. That can explain why he brought a Salamis at Texas Colony instead of 5 more GMs.
If those two ships join Damocles while we attack it, our forces will be torn apart.
I am hereby issuing orders to attack the new Salamis-class ship Duke at +2DE. This will remove at least one Salamis from their inventory or at least reduce him to a Salamis Capsule which is easier for Kuriboh to kill with bits than killing a Salamis.
Radune and Yoritomo will be part of the attack. They will join the Tivvay along with Jim. Frenzy will be on board to help guide the Tivvay (he has ship captain spec). Everyone else needs to move off the Tivvay if you aren't off already.
Jim with the Rick Doms and Zaku II HMTs will form the attack team. Yoritomo, Radune, the Zaku II Minelayer, Zaku II E, and the Zaku II F will serve as the defense force for the Tivvay. The defense force is there just in case that NPC Salamis gets brave.
Jim will help the attack force sneak as close as possible to the Salamis using his Minovsky Particle Generators. He will then call in an artillery service to destroy any balloons before the attack team strikes. Then to either finish off the Salamis, the Salamis capsule, or to escape he will fire off the second artillery service.

Right. And I should buy a marine squad for my ship, right?

You just want us to move to +2DE?
