I think the current consensus is to group the fleets then move the Damaged ships to Purgatorio and have the fleet of "Lightly Damaged" ships and Jiccos move down to Side 5 for the attack on Texas Colony. All PCs are to accompany the ZEF to Texas. Frenzy, I think you're going to need to move the Nyarlathotep yourself since I don't control it.

I have money for 1 service and I can have a second service (logistics spec). What should I get?

Edit: We just realized that if only our 3 lightly damaged ships move into Side 5 and all of Bollocks moved there, we'll be screwed. So there goes that plan. The current idea is for our two fleets to merge then to do strictly long range bombardment attacks on Bollocks. By long range, I mean that we will use 2x Artillery Support while the Schnee Weiss use whatever bits it has left to attack the Bollocks Fleet. We will keep Florian with the ships and everyone else's job is to protect Florian and the ships. I think I can get Daren's rogue to do two more Terrorist Contacts for us.

This has the potential of sinking the Magellan and the Salamis Revised. The Columbus too if we get lucky.

Do you still need me to move my ship or no?

No, everyone's combining into a big fleet. Here's what I sent in:

Veronica Wu, Merge Fleets + Purchase + Attack

Merge Fleets
ZMF 2nd Resupply Fleet (aka ZEF #2)- Joins/merge with the "Zeon Expeditionary Force"

Purchase
Zeon Expeditionary Force - 1x Artillery Support (100 RP)
Zeon Expeditionary Force - 1x Artillery Support (0 RP, Logistics Spec)
Remaining RP = 164 – 100 = 64 RP

Attack:
"Zeon Expeditionary Force" attacks Bollocks Fleet
(This takes place after combining both fleets)

Athena's Wrath - Optional Armament: Anti-Beam Chaff and Decoy Missiles
Jiccos - Anti-beam warheads

Attack Plan:

Zeon Force: Zeon Expeditionary Force, Malak Lazarveich (with Terrorist Contacts)
Federal Force: Bollocks Fleet

Objectives in terms of Priority:
1) Destroy the Magellan-class "Richmond", Salamis-Revised "Duke", and Columbus-class "Harpy" with long range bombardment
2) Minimize damage to the Zeon Fleet

Plan:
1) After scattering Minovsky particles at maximum density, the fleet will assume a bombardment posture at maximum range of the Bollocks Fleet. Hopefully we can position ourselves to the rear of the Bollocks Fleet. The Schnee Weiss will be escorted and protected by the ships of the ZEF as Florian deploy his bits for the attack. The rest of the ZEF's MS are responsible for defending the fleet and Florian from counterattack. Jiccos are to standby with anti-beam warheads to counter beam attacks. The "Athena's Wrath" will have both anti-beam chaff and decoy missiles in case of missile attack.

2) Throughout this long range attack, the ace Zaku II E on the "Lucifer's Fury" will coordinate targeting. The long range attack will begin with the first artillery service. At the same time, a bomb will go off on the Magellan-class "Richmond" to disable it temporarily. Behind the first artillery wave would be the Schnee Weiss's bits. Florian's targets by priority is the "Richmond", "Duke", then the "Harpy". After Florian's bits are used up or the three targets are destroyed, the second artillery service will be launched at the Bollocks Fleet.

3) After the second artillery service is launched, the ZEF will withdraw out of range. If at any point during this long range bombardment, the ZEF is attacked, we will end the bombardment and focus our attention on our attackers. Highest priority is keeping the ZEF safe.
