Naval Skirmish with the Vitae Alliance

[T'yr Dellos]

Alright. So, in honor of what is soon to be our new 'Light' Star Destroyer, I'd like to organize a naval skirmish between the Imperial Remnants and another faction. Friendly of course. So far, the Vitae Alliance has volunteered to play with us for this.

For the thread, I'd like to see the Imperial Remnant show up with a 4,000 meter fleet with the following composition.

• 1x Imperial III-class Star Destroyer: 1,600 meters (PC Commander: [member="Corvinus Palpatine"])
• 1x Victory III-class Star Destroyer: 900 meters (PC Commander: [member="T'yr Dellos"])
• 2x Raider III-class Corvette: 150 meters (Subcommand of [member="T'yr Dellos"])
• 1x Victory III-class Star Destroyer: 900 meters (PC Commander: [member="Ayumi Pallopides"])
• 4x Raider III-class Corvette: 150 meters (Subcommand of [member="Ayumi Pallopides"])
• 10 Squadrons of Starfighters (PC Commander: [member="Alva Calvarona"])

Spoiler

Imperial III
Long Range Firepower: 620 points of Turbolaser, Ion, and Particle Beam
Long Range Damage Output: 248 points of Damage from Turbolaser, Ion, and Particle Beam
Short Range Firepower: 400 points of Turbolaser and Ion
Short Range Damage Output: 400 points of Damage from Turbolaser and Ion
Point-Defense Firepower: 110 points of PDL and Quad Laser
6 Squadrons

Victory III
Port Imperator Turrets (Normal Fire): 160 points of Damage
Port Imperator Turrets (Burst Fire): 256 points of Damage
Port Repeating Turbolasers: 50 points of Damage
Starboard Imperator Turrets (Normal Fire): 160 points of Damage
Starboard Imperator Turrets (Burst Fire): 256 points of Damage
Starboard Repeating Turbolasers: 50 points of Damage
Point-Defense Firepower: 40 points of Point Defense Laser
2 Squadrons
10x Assault Concussion Missiles or 10x Cluster Homing Missiles (5x missiles in cluster) per volley (8x total volleys)


Imperial III - (slow but balanced)
(IE: 248 points of damage at extended ranges; 648 at normal ranges; 400 at close ranges)
(IE: 300 points of Ion damage each turn at normal ranges; extensive chance to disable or fry target's systems)

Victory III - (Fast and durable)
(IE: 210 points of damage on each broadside at normal ranges; 306 on each broadside at close ranges)
(IE: Missile systems provide improved burst damage potential at close ranges)

Raider III - (Fast and durable)
Capital Weapon Firepower: 12 points of Damage from Ion, Laser, or Turbolaser
Point-Defense Firepower: 12 point defense laser
No Squadrons

• Also needed will be starfighter pilots and bomber pilots.
• Engineers and turret crews would also be welcome.
• Infantry is welcome to participate, though boarding actions are not anticipated at this time.

The fleet composition is currently chosen as a means of best accommodating the strengths and weaknesses of each capital ship, as well as utilizing the impressive hangers of the Ravenous to boost the squadron strength of the fleet. However, if the number of willing participants is low and multiple individual writers would rather command a Star Destroyer than an escort ship, accommodations can be made and 900 meters of escort ships can be converted into another Victory III-class Star Destroyer.



The fleet we will be facing is currently estimated at 5,000 to 6,000 meters in overall length. We are anticipating having superior quality of ships, but to be facing a superior number of ships. If we need to increase the size of our fleet to accommodate writers, the available fleet size for the opposing party with also increase.

Current plans are for the skirmish to be 'digital' so that no loss of assets occurs to either side, and to ensure that current restrictions to ships of less than 1,000 meters do not apply to this thread (thus letting us play with an ISD).

@T'yr Dellos

Where can I read about the rules regarding meters and ship PvP?

There are no formal rules. Simply a gentleman's agreement between writers.

Unless you are referring to ship ownership rules. In which case, you'll want to look at the Starship Template in the Starship Factory.

@T'yr Dellos

Imperial III is mine ALL MINE

 

[Alva Calvarona]

I'm game!

 

[T'yr Dellos]

I'm game!

As a starfighter pilot, escort ship commander, or are you making a push for a capital ship?

 

[Aithne Charr]

@T'yr Dellos

Imperial III is mine ALL MINE

*Proceeds to ensure to target this and only this ship*
Soooo *Whistles*

 

[Alva Calvarona]

Whatever you need me most as.

 

[Ayumi Pallopides]

Me I wants to be there to practice fleeting... also the blackwatch can run around and be used

 

[T'yr Dellos]

[member="Ayumi Pallopides"]

Wait... which side of this are you on?

 

[Ayumi Pallopides]

@T'yr Dellos my fleeter is in the remnant... makes sense for her to be with her family

 

[T'yr Dellos]

[member="Ayumi Pallopides"]

Ok. Do you have anything in particular you are interested in commanding? Or any group of things....

 

[Ayumi Pallopides]

@T'yr Dellos I'd want to synergize with the other fleets we have. Work to fill in gaps.

 

[T'yr Dellos]

[member="Ayumi Pallopides"] Well... Right now we've got Corvinus commanding the Imperial III and myself commanding the Victory III. Alva is probably looking to control some starfighter squadrons, but will likely grab a frigate or Corvette if needed.

So... We could cut the frigates to put you in command of a second Victory III... Which would drastically lower our starfigher count, but might make leading the squadrons more interesting for Alva. You and I could each command a Victory III and 2x Raider Corvettes, leaving Corvinus to command the ISD III and Alva to control the fighters and bombers....

Or... We could toss you in a Frigate or Corvette and give you command of all the escorts while giving Alva command of all the starfighters and bombers...

Or... we could do a lot of things with this. Help me out here. What sounds most interesting to you?

 

[Ayumi Pallopides]

I think another victory could be fun with escorts. Overwhelm them with force and smash with heavy guns.

 

[T'yr Dellos]

[member="Corvinus Palpatine"], [member="Alva Calvarona"], [member="Ayumi Pallopides"],

OK! So I've shifted things up a bit. Corvinus still has the ISD III, Ayumi and myself both command a Victory III and a pair of Raider III's, and Alva gets command of all 10 starfighter/bomber squadrons. This leaves each Naval Commander with 1,200 - 1,600 in ships each, and lets Alva have full command of the small swarm of 120-ish starfighters we'll be using.

Right now... that puts us at 4 writers vs the 5 that the Vitae have put together.

Is anyone unhappy with the current setup?


Does anyone have a specific date when they would like this to start? (other than "as soon as the Victory III is approved"?)

[Usa'ar Obath]

I'll be up for a pilot, preferably a starfighter pilot

 

[Vanya Lyekova]

[member="Usa'ar Obath"] Check the dates there pilot. Lol. You're about 2 months late.

 

[Usa'ar Obath]

[member="Vanya Lyekova"] I just want to do something hahaha

 

[Aithne Charr]

Actually, we were talking about reviving this in skype earlier this week, so reviving it was good form [member="Usa'ar Obath"]
