[member="Darth Shara"] They been posted, still waiting for entry explosive to get the okay. They be used on light drop ships so we can blow our way into other ships.
 
I'll edit my post once again, changing the star destroyer to an Imperious-Class, thanks for the information.

Am I rule-bound to state my ships all at once for example total length of all my ships or can I leave that to avoid any meta-gaming?

[member="Mike Zenima"] You're not "rulebound" to do anything regarding your fleet except the length limit of course, but it is more courteous just to go ahead and post it and play nice.

[member="Darth Naomi"]i My suggestion to you is appeal to an RPJ. I personally don't think They are right, as reinforcements are not disallowed by the rules and actually could be stated to be encouraged. Do not go to Sarge or any RPJ affiliated with the Republic or Omega Pyre obviously. Go go Kassandra, Alli or Asterion to ensure no bias.

Nvm, I've decided not to bother another fair person, or anyone with this crap. I might join later, maybe when/if boarding happens, or when fight for checkpoints really starts.

She has no hand in the thread, and thats what matters. I have a relationship with pretty much all of staff, a little bit of personal bias can't be helped XD

[member="Darth Naomi"] do you want to take part of my fleet over, if other accept in other side. As rp wise my admiral is dead. I am about to board the protectorate flagship. So technically I can`t give orders to easy. If you do I will pm popo and ayden, and check if it`s okay with rather than another ooc thing.

It seems I voided any grace I had built with that random remark...
[member="sabrina"], I don't think they would allow it without me taking up your fleet completely. I might join you on the boarding action tho

Oh don't worry, he'll get his just desserts.

We're boarding his flagship, and I'm about to give him a choice that he'll have to make, and both outcomes suck.

You see, my damaged TIE Defender won't make it to the flagship's hangar without overclocking the engines, which causes them to burst into flame once I make it to his hangar. I'll bail out and leave the burning wreck in the hangar, then get the hell out of there. Why, you ask?

That fighter has a full load of proton torpedoes aboard, and there's no way in hell damage control will put the fire out in time before it reaches them. This leaves Ayden with two options, neither of which are favorable to him:

One: let the fires burn and the ordinance explode, rendering his entire flight deck inoperable, causing extensive damage to the ship, possibly enough to take it out of the fight for good, and killing a large chunk of the crew.

Two: deactivate the containment field for the hangars and let it be sucked out into space before it explodes, along with everyone still in the hangars and millions of credits worth of weapons, equipment and starfighters, and STILL rendering the flight deck inoperable at least temporarily. We could record this if he chooses this option, then later give our own twist on the story as part of a propaganda campaign to convince Protectorate and Republic military personnel to mutiny, by painting the incident as indication that their superiors have at best no concern for their lives and at worst are perfectly content to throw their lives away for no reason at all.

Typically, hangar decks have armor and damage control systems for just that type of emergency. You would probably disable a flight deck for a short time until damage control can get it operational once more.

Eight proton torpedoes going off INSIDE a hangar is going to do a hell of a lot more damage than what most damage control systems would be designed to handle (there's only so much damage a ship can take before no amount of damage control efforts will save it, point and case, USS Yorktown at the Battle of Midway, which took multiple direct hits until eventually she was inoperable and the crew abandoned ship, then she was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine and sank), and that's not including other ordinance that might be lying around waiting to be loaded onto starfighters and other volatile material. The flight deck would be completely immolated in just a couple of minutes.

This is the one possibility that his ship's factory page doesn't seem to take into account: damage control in the event of an explosion on the flight deck, and even if it somehow DOESN'T take the flight deck out of commision entirely, it could take hours to put out the fires and clear the debris, until then the ship would be unable to launch or retrieve starfighters at all.
 
[member="Albrecht Tagge"]
Yes, but if you read your history correctly, the Enterprise had similar damage, as did the Hornet. Both were able to repair the damage in the field, though after the Soloman Island campaign I believe the Enterprise had only one operable flight deck elevator.

In any case, hangars are generally capable of containing the blast of ordnance loaded within it. The ship will most likely suffer little to no critical damage, but the flight deck will certainly by damaged if you are successful. The extent of the damage is, however, up to Mister Cater to decide.

Well at the very least it'll keep his crew busy with damage control instead of getting in the way of the boarding party (or at least it'll force them to split their attention between the two problems at hand). That's the one thing he can't simply handwave; no matter how this turns out, he will suffer some sort of setback.

Either way, it'll all depend on how much he took damage control into account when the ship was designed. If he didn't and he loses the ship or it takes extensive enough damage to be taken out of the fight, you can bet your ass he'll take that into account with his designs in the future.

Guy`s any chance of us capturing the disabled shield class ship that ayden has, I want to reverse engineer it (Yes their would have to be a thread). To create one to protect our drop ships, when the final bit tech approved.

I felt the need to call out ayden in a pm, I am not posting till he edits or explains his post. I may rpj it, as completely ignored my fleets actions, as far as I can see.

Contact the RPJ then. Maybe he'll be made to give you the ship as a penalty. :D

Of course, you'll have to get the ship out of the combat zone, or he might destroy it to prevent capture.

No response, ether in ooc or by pm. I am going to ask in the pm section then and see if I get answer, if not rpj time I guess. :(

edit: he not been online since this morning yet, so I will give him longer.
