Brikspace turn 6

Post by Theblackdog » Tue Mar 24, 2009 5:47 pm

The battle seems to be evening out somewhat.

Image
Raptor Squadron finishes off the Nurse Shark frigate.

Image
The defense frigate speeds up to keep up with the freighter. Next turn it will need to slow down...

Image
The Republic ships chase after the Tiger Shark, but are unable to get in range.

Image
The freighter coasts alongside the defense frigate.

Image
The Tiger Shark joins the group huddling behind the frigate's shield.

Image
The Hellfury launches two missiles...

Image
... and kills the assault frigate. The Hellfury has two heavy missiles left -- once those are gone it's down to its main gun and the rear-firing light missile launcher.

Image
It then opens up on the boarding frigate, doing two damage points.

Image
Overwatch of the main area of the battle.

Image
A second Overwatch showing the pirate convoy. The freighter will enter the jump-capable zone next turn, but due to certain events in the ground battle it won't be able to jump just yet...

I'll be going away for a while, and probably won't be able to update until Monday. Have all your orders in by then, or there'll be Hell to pay. Actually, you should probably send your orders in tomorrow, because that's the only day I'll be able to check them.

Image
The pirate rifleman throws the hyperdrive part to Captain Cutlass.

Image
He heads to the engine room and replaces the part.

Image
The pirate rifleman fires but misses.

Image
The two remaining coalition troops grab the cart and run over the pirate rifleman!

Image
They try to do the same to Captain Cutlass, but they roll a heroic failure and run into the wall.

Image
Captain Cutlass takes a response action and attacks the coalition troops with his sword, but misses.

Image
The two troops fire and kill the pilot!

Image

So do we still get the victory points for the freighter if we take control of it and have it jump? Or will the points go to the pirates since they replaced the hyperspace part?

Whoever is in control of the freighter when it jumps gets 80 victory points. The most you can get by killing enemy ships is 90 (the secret faction fighters count for 0 points). At this point in the game your only real hope lies in the ground troops.

Don't we get a lot of points for destroying the Hellfury?

40 points for killing a destroyer, 10 for a frigate.

Alright, the ground battle is fairly even now, but this is close...
He only has the pirate hero left, right?
I will send orders.
