I see. Well at any rate, it'll be the same system as is the case with Skeelzania, although it means basically everyone in or near Warhammer is going to be less efficient than the other group. :P

It pans out that Kertai is rattling off orders and posting technical calibrations and recalibrations that you have to do in a matter of seconds, so the crews on Warhammer are going to have to be on their toes.

Also Aren, you have to check messages manually, I dont' know if the system reminds you anymore.

Ok, I'll try and get a post up early tomorrow - too tired now, almost 1am. :(


Tho I would like to know if we're supposed to post damage for the Bad Guysâ„¢ or what? Hate to nag, but knowing how effective your weapons are is kinda important, and posting damage for others is, as I said, really against my instincts.

Your up against a group of dreadnaughts attacking the planet, you can rp damage but you'll probably have two of them turn to face you and they will begin unloading their payloads into you instead. Damage to them should be "meh" at this stage, but keep focusing to have an affect, their shields are insane on the dreads and Kertai cant change that at any point except to tell you to focus your fire on one point.

I wrote some enemy casualties in a vague and insignificant manner, describing it as "several" enemy ships during the course of the battle.

I've also put, in effect, over 20'000 weapons into the fleet-proper with my missile swarm, targeting it's lighter assets(escort ships = easy kills = less point-defence(and escorts usually house much of one's PD) = more effective follow-up missile swarms). And I'm about to open up with some of the Heavies. I'll leave that damage up to you, as I'd probably peg the effect well above what you might.


EDIT:
Post up. And I being too hard on myself, or have all my posts sucked as of late? :(

The only ships that have died have been RP'd by other people or have been concentrated on so much not even a battleplate could take it. At this point the definition of light means a 1km ship, Ive tried to make it apparent to everyone to FOCUS YOUR DAMN FIRE, and that these guys are srs bsns, but everyones basically ignored me to this point.

Whilst i still feel like crap and have no care for how abrasive i'll have to be we'll have to see wont we.

EDIT:

Right sooo, lets put it this way.

Imperiatus vessels start off from 1km plus as mentioned. There are hundreds upon hundreds here. And lets give me, give you, the person who didnt read the RP properly, a summary of what happened at Morakan.

ONE Cruiser appeared from nowhere, facing 100 Vessels from the Sornei fleet under an extremely competent commander. The cruiser proceeded to attack this fleet, eliminated everything that was too small to take it and managed to cut a few big holes in anything big and fat, and blew up anything too slow to get away in time. The cruiser took no damage, The fleet that faced it is now stuck waiting for replacements to be built and repairs.

That was a cruiser. Luckily these are Ultimately under my strict control and this nation in this form is only likely to show up in this one RP.

12 DREADNAUGHTS, (Leaving about 4 in the fleet) .. dreadnaughts is also my new favourite word - er anyway, ships comparable to a couple of cruisers and then some in a lovely neat package, broke through the Sornei line when it was shattered - And have basically blown down an entire planetary shield system in the time your average fleet takes.

Kanuck youve made your insane decision to go headlong into the formation of these, prepare to be shot at accordingly my dear :D. - The bombardment of NC is simply part of the plot and so the ships are wanked to the extreme as a consequence. Not personal.

On the upside The Imperiatus fleet is soon about to loose its advantage against the shields but thats it, Kertai can co-ordinate you more effectively than the lagging battlenet can, but considering this RP was carefully planned and people obviously dont realise just how wanky this is meant to be, which makes me disappointed.

I have tried time and time again to get the point across through proxy or without being overt and mean in the thread, but some people have to realise that you were warned and given time to ask questions, plenty of examples, and also could of posted more questions here. Being a bit ill coupled with the last few days of people not realising then spontaneously blowing up does amuse me, but i still think a handful of people dont get the true scale - and as its likely more people will pile in in the aftermath of the battle as we all know how the ESUS works, i felt i had to post this, and also to vent even though most of you have actually twigged and are acting as you should, and quite well infact.

The Imperiatus fleet will not be taking huge losses in this battle, and will retreat when Kertai has you take out a dreadnaught by focusing fire on it. The Battlecom in their fleet isnt expecting one of those to go down ever, full stop, and would also be disrupted by the loss of a command link, so would order a retreat whilst it analyses the events of the battle and develops a new strategy.

NC will be left in a state comparable to Los Angeles.

blargh, my mind spill many words when vomitting rawr.

Also kanuck, your posts are fine, your worse than me (at the whole self-esteem destruction thing) >_>.

'kay.

Up until this point I had little clue as to the enemy fleet's actual composition. Still don't, but better than nothing. Might help if you weren't so vague.

Well AZN forgot to put it in his post, one of the reasons i have to be vague is because, as mentioned, its a one off group, theres little point in fleshing out anything except what i might want to take further myself elsewhere.

I only rp vague losses with people I don't trust. The ESUS is trustworthy to me in that category, so I didn't bother. I have basically been saying I have been firing, focusing fire as I stated in one of my posts, and leaving the losses, if it even happened, to Aren. While losing about half of my entire force. >_>

Bloody wanked ships. =P jk jk.
