And what of the other two supports, assuming the massive balloon fleet's only one. I'd vote for MS supports, since six extra Zakus would potentially shift the battle even more in our favor.

But for the attack, we should have the MS groups split up and come from all directions to make telling which fleet is real and which ones are dummies even harder. Hiring Daren to pull a terrorist contract on the Magellan or one of the Salamis Kais also seems like a good idea, especially if it throws Bollocks into confusion.

So yes, we DO have to worry about that.

But since Ket seems to be saying our usual opening of missile supports is becoming predictable, we need to mix things up a bit.

It'd be better if we could stage the battle a bit, and hide the bits in the Shoal from Wyatt. That should be enough to confuse Altoh's NT senses anyways. As they fly by, the ships and any balloon fleets we get can circle around them/cut them off. Once they're hemmed in a bit, the bits can spring. Circle 'o' death is go.

We might need to bait the trap, such as it is, but I think this is sneaky enough to work. Play off their confidence and whatnot, because with that many GMs and a Magellan, they're bound to be a little more aggressive. Hopefully, anyhow.

And then we can have Daren pull a terrorist contract or two to create confusion within Bollocks itself to allow us to take advantage of the situation.

[17:43] <Frenzy> Did you see Kuri's idea on the boards?
[17:44] <Chan> I just logged on
[17:44] <Frenzy> Ah.
[17:44] <AnyaWilds> kk
[17:47] <Frenzy> But Kuri had an interesting idea that's worth looking over.
[17:48] <Chan> indeed
[17:48] <Chan> the only thing missing is Minovsky Particle coverage
[17:48] <Chan> remember our first Resupply Fleet attack?
[17:49] <Frenzy> We had Jim for that.
[17:49] <Chan> Ravage's Braw Bro was exposed because we didn't scatter M-Particles around it.
[17:49] <Chan> Jim was somewhere else
[17:49] <Chan> then we we all-ranged Blex, we used Jim
[17:49] <Chan> But Jim is now in NEW BERLIN.
[17:49] <Frenzy> Right.
[17:49] <Frenzy> So, what's the game plan here?
[17:49] <Radune>

[17:49] <Chan> we can have the Papua hide with Kuriboh in the debris though
[17:50] <Frenzy> It'd help if Jim actually did something.
[17:50] <Chan> Back on topic, the Papua never did much in battle anyway
[17:51] <Chan> okay, MS and ships pull a running battle to draw the Bollocks fleet into Kuriboh's bit trap
[17:51] <Frenzy> Given that it's a supply ship and not a battleship, yeah.
[17:51] <Chan> then doubles back to counterpunch
[17:52] <Frenzy> Shouldn't we use Balloons to lure them into the trap? Less risk of us losing something we actually have use for.
[17:52] <Chan> good point
[17:52] <Chan> how about this
[17:53] <Chan> I'll take the ZEF#2 with a balloon fleet of ZEF to draw them into the trap. The real ZEF with you guys will lie in wait in Wyatt fleet's debris with Kuriboh.
[17:53] <Frenzy> Sounds like a plan.
[17:54] <Frenzy> Assuming we can hide in the debris/the battlewriter/Ket allows it.
[17:55] <Chan> it's allowable. It's called using the terrain. Hell, we made the terrain
[17:55] <Frenzy> True.
[17:55] <Radune> We're in space.
[17:55] <Radune> The terrain is gone.
[17:56] * Chan points at the floating debris of Salamis and Magellans from the Wyatt Fleet
[17:56] <Frenzy> We should hide the Schnee Weiss in the wreckage of the Columbuses, since it's large enough to fit.
[17:57] <Chan> a Magellan that's been swiss-cheesed is big too
[17:57] <Radune> Don't forget the Hardboiled, chan.
[17:57] * AnyaWilds is now known as AnyaFood
[17:57] <Chan> right
[17:58] <Frenzy> Right.
[18:00] <Frenzy> Now all we need to do is hope BM is gunning for us.
[18:00] <Chan> well, that's why I'm drawing their attention
[18:00] <Chan> couple of missile waves and MPC blasts tend to get attention
[18:00] <Frenzy> I meant movement wise.
[18:01] <Chan> well, if he goes in the OTHER direction to pick up the GM Command Space Type in EO
[18:01] <Chan> then we can just kill Tianem Fleet first
[18:02] <Frenzy> We'd be able to clear out before they arrived?
[18:02] <Radune> Well, at least I don't have anything left to lose now!
[18:02] <Chan> we should
[18:02] <Chan> I'm not going to make any definites until the whole update is up
[18:02] <Frenzy> Right.
