OOC:I'm kinda new to this, help would be appreciated.

IC:As the convoy began to approach, Tlockos grinned. Now, he would begin the attack...

"Send the TIEs out. I want our Bombers and Interceptors to focus on the convoy, with the Fighters guarding them. Also, try to use our Interdictor to pull the convoy torwards us. Let's move the Eliminator (the ISD I) in too, with the Neb Bs positioned one on each side of us. Have the Correlian Corvette move in with the fighters, also."

The TIEs raced down on the convoy as the Eliminator came in, with one Nebulon B on each side. The Eliminator began pouring in fire from its turbolasers and ion cannon, as it began to use its tractor beams to pull ten ships from the convoy closer, as the Interdictor moved in behind the SD.

OOC:Can the Interdictor use its gravity fields on ships that are in realspace?

Also, I might need some help calculating damage.

 

Aratar knew he was in deep sithspit if he didn't hurry up.

"I want that convoy DOWN." He yelled at his under officers.

He saw the Huge ISD coming his way. He powered up all the weapons he had. His lasers took constant shots.

He hoped he could down all of the cargo ships as soon as possible.

"Order the starfighters to unload the proton torps at the convoy."

I need a ruling from others, to be fair.

I believe Davofetts MC80a should be heavily damaged or on backup shielding from my 80+ missile attack and a full barrage of turbofire from the VSD and ISD. I would like a ruling from everyone else.

Ornen: Yes, Interdictors make a field that cause ships to drop from hyperspace, and also makes sure they dont enter hyperspace, within a certain area.

 

OOC:I understand that, but can they have any other effects while in realspace? For example, could it be used as a form of heavy-duty tractor-beam?

And yeah, I think 80+ missles and the barrages of turbofire would do way more damage than 15% of shields gone.

 

Noooo!! Damnit! Damn cat hit the F5 key and I lost my entire post!! Grumbles

OOC:I understand that, but can they have any other effects while in realspace? For example, could it be used as a form of heavy-duty tractor-beam?

No. Interdictors can only simulate a planet's gravity well which causes ships to drop out of hyperspace due to the failsafe built into the hyperdrive. This failsafe causes a ship to drop out of hyperspace the moment a gravwell is detected to prevent the ship from smashing into a celestial body such as a planet. It also prevents ships from jumping into hyperspace while in a gravwell.

And yeah, I think 80+ missles and the barrages of turbofire would do way more damage than 15% of shields gone.

It depends on the missile. Concussion missiles do not do very much damage to captial ships. The concussion missile launchers on VSDs were created to eliminate starfighters rather than captial ships.

But since the MC80a is also being constantly bombarded by both a VSD and a ISDs (the ISD being the more powerful of the two) turbofire, then the MC80a's shields should be reduced dramatically. I would say it is now at about 60% and dropping.

LLTR - I want to fight!!

 

LLTR- If mitthy wants to fight i'm ready for my second battle, all i need ios a ruling on what my new Fleet Comp is with the addition of the capture of all of Thok's Forces and most of the Convoy.

 

Looks at Gorins numbers

Oh crap

 

Now mitthy, i won't be able to have all of them, I don't think anyway.

irregardless, if i do i'll just keep it in reserve at base, in case i get whiped out, i wouldn't destroy you so utterly and completely just by Superior numbers.

I'd rather do it by showing my Tactical genius

 

OOC: I'm soory. I'm horrible at posting my own damage. I will take mitthy's idea and My MC80a will have 65%, considering I'm powering my shields to the max, and the thing about weak conncussion missiles. Feel free to correct me any time.

So my status is now 60. Allow me to edit my last post.


IC: Aratar knew he had to do some thing fast. He had to protect his MC80 but the ISD and the VIC were to much. He needed to be protected.

"I want every thing we are not using to be converted to shields. In crese the frward shields and batteries, we can't take much more. All capital ships DESTROY THAT VICTORY STAR DESTROYER!!!"

As it was said another blast rocked the warship. As he got he added.

"If we cant destroy those rotten IMPs, I want them disabled. Fire 15 of our Ion cannons at the VIC, 5 at the ISD."

After all of those orders he prepared for a emergency light speed jump.

Ststus
Same, but orders for capital shhips to take out the vic, and 65% MC80a shields.

 

Also, coorect me if I'm wrong but does an escort carrier have a warhead launching system. I read it up and I think it does

 

Taken from Escort Carrier

10 Twin Laser Cannons (2 Forward, 3 Left, 3 Right, 2 Aft)
Crew: 2 Gunners per cannon
Fire Control: 3D
Space Range: 1-3/12/25 Space Units
Atmospheric Range: 2-6/25/50 km
Damage: 3D

OR

10 Taim & Bak H8 Dual Laser Cannons
1 Krupx VL-6 Warhead Launch System

An EC can have a warhead launcher but normally it just has 10 Twin Laser Cannons

 

Worth a shot I suppose

Name: Captain Andur Tront
Race: Human(Ukio)

Faction: Rebels

 

Thank you. I'll take the one with warheads. I also assume a warhead can be proton torps. As I said I'm a semi-newbie

 

concussion or advanced concussion missiles

 

your good at this.

I'll take advanced.

 

I dont know if that can use warhead launchers since you are already in a fight. You'll have to ask LLTR.

 

No problem.


Well what do you say LLTR

Davofett
I will allow it to have the warhead configuration for regular concussion missiles. Also, to jump out of battle, you have to lower the interdiction field.

Gorin
I will post your winnings as soon as you post the losses taken by you and thok.

IC: Duke Ronway

Duke looked at the Mon Cal cruiser. He ordered a constant barrage of Turbo and Ion fire from the ISD and Turbo from the VSD. He also had the VSD to use its missiles against the fighters swarming around his capital ships.

The 3 Nebulon B Frigates joined the battle against the escort carrier. They launched an all-out assault. They fired all they had on the poor vessel.

The fighter battle in the asteriods was in the favor of the Dukes forces. The bombers around the mc80 fired torpedos into its shields. A bomber was too close to an explosion and was lost. The interceptors swept through the battle with ease, they were out running the rebel fighters with ease.

Finally!

Captain Trey Hunters

Re-entering Realspace

The stars warped and twisted with a flash as several ships well over thirty in total dropped out of hyperspace for the scheduled course change. A Victory-class Star Destroyer led the box formation of freighters with a Strike Cruiser and Escort Carrier in the rear. Two Nebulon-B Escort Frigates flanked the formation on either side and a Lancer Frigate floated above the formation in the middle.

Aboard the VSD Hunter, Captain Trey Hunters walked to the viewport of the bridge to get a visual on the situation outside. It was quiet, just like the rest of the scheduled course changes. The only difference between this one and the others was this one had to be done in a star system near an asteroid belt facing the starboard side of the convoy.

A perfect place for an ambushing fleet to hide. "Deploy all fighters but the Bombers, they are to move into escort positions around the convoy in squadrons. I want one Interceptor squadron at each corner of the box formation and one Fighter squadron covering each side of the formation. Bombers are to remain on stand by for further instructions. I also want a scan of that asteroid field for any sign of possible hostiles."

"Yes, Captain." His second replied and soon his orders were carried out. The two TIE Fighter squadrons the Hunter carried were deployed and moved into position in bow of and to the port side of the convoy. The Escort Carrier Fang deployed its four squadrons of TIE Interceptors and four squadrons of TIE Fighters. The Interceptors flew to each corner of the formation while the four Fighter squadrons covered the remaining sides, starboard, aft, ventral, and dorsal.

Focused scans were made of the asteroid field nearby as the convoy moved to the next hyperspace navigation point. If there was something in the asteroid field, ComScan would pick it up because of the focus scan.

"Captain, the convoy just entered realspace. The escort is bigger than we thought it was."

"That's OK. Our first priority is to take out that Vic. Deploy all of our fighters. The A-wings and Gunships will screen our capital ships against fighters while the others make one torpedo run at the Vic, then go for the convoy. Have the Rainbow activate it's interdiction field as soon as we clear the asteroid field.

Captain Trey Hunters

Near Asteroid Field

"Sir! Incoming hostiles from the asteroid field!" Hollared the ensign at ComScan. Trey Hunters quickly strode over to the tactical display.

"Bring it up." He commanded and the tactdisplay showed the ambushing force on a direct course for his ship. The blood rushed from his face as he realized what they were going to do.

Quickly he issued out orders. "Interceptor squads are to intercept and destroy the incoming rebel fighters. Alpha and Beta squads are to provide a starfighter screen around the Hunter and destroy any incoming missiles. As soon as the starfighters, especially the X-wings, are within range of our warhead launchers, give them everything we have and reload to destroy incoming missiles next."

Once the enemy fighters were in range of the Victory, it would launch all its loaded concussion missiles leaving it a minute to reload before the starfighters came into range to launch its own warheads at the capital ship.

Immediately his orders were carried out and the four Interceptor squadrons pulled away from escort duty to intercept the Y-wings and B-wings. Alpha and Beta Squadrons moved away from their bow and dorsal escort positions to provide a starfighter screen around the Victory.

"Theta and Gamma are to remain with the convoy and escort it to the navpoint. Fang, launch bombers. Delta and Zeta are to escort Epsilon, Omicron and Sigma as they target and destroy the Interdictor. Warmonger, Delirium, and Vertigo are to join us in destroying that Interdictor. Puncher and Fang are to remain with the convoy. Fang is to use its warheads to clear any incoming missiles and/or starfighters at the convoy."

The captial ships moved away from the convoy save for the Lancer Frigate and Escort Carrier and two TIE Fighter squadrons. TIE Bombers Omicron, Epsilon, and Sigma were launched with heavy rockets and proton torpedos. The capital ships were now between the fleeing convoy and the ambushing fleet.

"I want that Interdictor destroyed." Hunters growled as the VSD Hunter launched its barrage of concussion missiles at the incoming starfighters. Over eighty warheads headed for the starfighters.

(OOC: LLTR made this comment on page 1:
Note to all players: The VSD I does not have 80 concussion missile launchers, it is equipped with 10. thats according to the new SW rules.
Therefore, I'll only have 6 X-wings destroyed by the Vic)

IC:

"Order the commander of the lead X-wing squad to target the tower on that Vic and transmit his targetting information to all the other fighters. Even though Vics have strong shields, such a focused attack should leave a hole that some torpedoes can slip through to destroy one or both of the shield domes. After the torpedo barrage, all X-wings will protect the Y-wings and B-wings while they go after the convoy," ordered Tront.

"TIE Bombers have launched and are headed this way, sir."

"order Blue and Green squadrons, as well as the Gunships to engage them before they reach firing range on our main ships."

The A-wings and Gunships moved forward and began firing at the Bombers and their fighter escorts. Meanwhile, despite losing 9 X-wings and a Y-wing to the concussion missile spread and fighters, the attack squadrons launched a massive spread of almost 150 torpedoes at the Victory Star Destroyer, then lost 3 bombers (2 Y-wings and a B-wing) to the Interceptors.

And to prove another point...his info is wrong...its 20 quad concussion missle launchers.....so technically, 80 missles could be fired in one salvo.

:oints to his ultamite guide to ships and vessles::

 

Sithspawn. Aratar was about to loose it. HIs escort carrier was getting pummled. Salvo after salvo of enemy fire came flying at it.

It's lost, all we can do is hurry this thing up. Aatar got ready for his escape.

He looked at his commander. "I want the G-Wells down in a few. We will make the jump out of here, but I want the Neb, Escort Carrier, and the Interdirector to give every last shot the have at the Convoy. We will hold them here."

As the orders were given the three ships started to go through the line. As they got a clear shot all weapons were unloaded.

The X,B,and Y-wings unloade all there torps. And the A-Wings were taking out more and more TIEs with each passing moment.

The MC80a stated to plow a way through the Nebs, along with the one X-Wing squad. With shields angled at the attacking ships and the asteroids at the other end they plowed through the weakest ones first and got ready for the jumps.
