Fellow anon captains I purpose that once we grow tired of the running and gunning we collect wife and form outer(rim) heaven. Not right now of course, but I think that is a good fallback plan

Waiting warmly for the update.

We can always aim for the holy grail and do our damn best to bloody the rebels in the core, prevent them from advancing as much as possible. Would be difficult, but likely worth it in the end, if we can pull it off that is.

>>5045136
Yeah from what I remember we where planning on taking a world that had some powerful pirates on it from what I remember that held a robot building facility (couldn't remember the name of the planet though) once we became aloft stronger than we are now since we would have to siege the planet on our own to make shure it becomes ours, resulting in us becoming a warlord and also having to power and influence to keep other people out of our system or systems as we would want to secure the immediate systems around it to keep other folks from message with our place then we can build up and strengthen ourselves further with I believe a variant of that bounty hunter droid

With the Fall of Fondor, Republic Forces have slowed their advance, and overhead of the world, rebel fighters of all shapes and sizes flit about, as remaining imperial holdouts are scrubbed away, and high above, over a dozen Star Destroyers in various states of completion, are being scrapped by the new Government.

Fondor's rapid capitulation and willingness to cooperate with the New Republic, has let the Shipwright conglomerates to maintain their yards, with little fear of nationalization or interference. In exchange, they were given orders for new vessels to be built, Starhawks, MC80Bs, all sorts of new vessels are soon to begin flowing out to reinforce the Republic Navy.

This isn't done in secret, as Imperial Intelligence has it's Eyes everywhere...

Is our current goal surviving till thrawn appears?

You are Admiral Anthway Bleyuun, Proud son of Alderaan, and a man silently celebrating his victories. Your encirclement of Fondor had the intended effect of convincing their government to fall, and your chance to thrash an imperial Relief force was more then worth the damage your forces took. Every imperial you killed was another of Alderaan's lost avenged, after all, so you ensured to deploy enough men to the ground to clear the remaining stubborn holdouts. You'd even had to release orbital fire on some of the more prepared enemy positions, and tabled a few complaints from the Guilds, until you informed them that the New Republic would compensate for any damage. A promise you're not sure the government will truly attempt to keep, but that's not your problem.

WIth a mission done, a new Mission's already been given to you, you've received orders to help head up a new committee on Fondor, to review the old Executor class yards used to build the dreaded star Dreadnoughts, and determine if they remained usable. After alot of wondering through quiet facilities, who had last seen use building vessels 2 years ago, you were handed blueprints for what your fleet was to guard; a Star Dreadnought of Mon calamari design, to face off against the eclipse, and win. This vessel was was a scaled down prototype of the new design, to be finished in 8 months, called the...

The Viscount... Apparently it'll take around 8 months to build the first prototype, that'll ONLY be around 7 km long, jesus. You may end up captaining that vessel, and if you do, you already know what you'll do first with it. You just need to wait, less than a year before your revenge can be sated.

You qre Commander Slythas Caimes, and you've been given operational control of your fleet once more. After the previous operation's conclusion, several of your vessels, including your ISD, your former flagship, the Steadfast, and a dreadnought, have been stuck in dock for at least 1 or 2 months. In the meantime however, time marches on, and you cannot afford idleness at this state of affairs the galaxy finds itself in. You've realized your current supplies are rather spotty, and while your fleet outside of docks remains a powerful force, it's not enough. You try calling up the Colonel to get his troops for a mission to the ords, but he calls off, saying he has his own orders to report his unit to Coruscant. With that off, you'll need to find a source of men elsewhere, maybe the Consortium's mercenaries or another source could serve. Other then that, there's some available intelligence dossiers on Bracca and Ord Mantell.

A scrapyard for decommissioned starships? Right up our alley.

>Start with Ord Mantell's dossier
I'm not just pursuing Clone War scraps because "I like swords", it's really our best bet. The ships on Bracca sound tempting but they all ended up there for a reason. Meanwhile Ord Mantell is more likely home to up-to-date ordnance and people who can use it. We can't afford Consortium mercs and fuck trusting them anyway.

>>5046595
The only way any modern warship is going to wind up on either bracca or Ord mantell is if it winds up in a state where it can no longer be repaired and is only good for scrap, no matter which we are more likely to find older ship's in a state where we can actually get them off world, also it's not just ship's were after but weapon's, munitions, starfighters, ground vehicles and possibly in some CIS ship's... droids.

Like it or not on both worlds we are very unlikely to find "modern" warships in a good condition given the only reason anyone would put a modern warship on one of these worlds is because they are fucked up enough that their is little reason bother repairing it and putting it into service, either way we are quite litterally picking scraps... because picking scraps is our best bet atm.

You pull up the file on Ord Mantell and it's current state. The file goes over most major info... Population: 4 Billion, Imperial Naval Squadron assigned, consists of 2 ISD IIs with accompanying 4 Victories, and some 20 odd assorted Escort vessels. Her designation as an ord was over 3 millenia ago, and since then, the planet has become a massive scrapyard and trading world. While finding Naval military grade equipment outside the Imperial bases would be hard, it is believed there are Black markets heavily invested on the world, with the world's many spaceports acting as a vital Artery in illicit trade between the rim and the core. Scrapyards post Clone wars here were filled in with the wrecks of millions of droids, who have slowly been part of the latest recycling facilities to recover usable alloys.
You may be able to get your hands on some if you go down and explore the SCrapyards, but it notes there is many roving bandits and scrapper groups out there, which has caused the local garrisons to wall it off and use Armored Trains to pass through rapidly.

Seems thats a good spot if you want to get either illegal tech, or more droids that you dont have to report to Command. One upside of using them is that they cant be transferred by higher ups!

Once you get the lay of Ord Mantell, you pull out your files on Bracca on your Datapad, and start looking at it. It's a massive Clone wars Scrapyard, covered in enough Venators, Acclamators, Munificents and every other type of old Warship that's seen combat in the last 50 Years. As of now, it's firmly behind enemy lines, tucked near Kashyyyk and held in rebel hands. Imperial Intelligence reports the enemy forces in the area mainly gathering their defences around Kashyyyk and leaving a token guard at Bracca however, so a small force like yours would be able to sneak through and take the planet rather easily. The only matter after that is finding and restoring vessels to bring back. Alot of vessels and military equipment have flown in, and by now, most of them will have been picked apart.

god dammit, take away my roll and let this man have it

Guys, don't bother, we just had this happen last thread in the previous battle or something and he didn't take it, plus it sets a bad precedent and if we apply the same logic to crit fails it will totally fuck us someday.

At least whine about it when there are mitigating or unusual circumstances like a voter double posting or not linking back or rolling for an old story post or for fun or something.

>>5047171

>>5047209
We're already getting screwed over by critfails, anon.

>>5047236
So what, you want the chance to get this one 100 at the cost of setting a precedent that if a fourth roller or further anons after that roll a 1 it counts? Besides, he's not gonna accept it, we've done this whining at least twice in this quest I think and he didn't give in.

>>5047236
That only happened once and it happened as it was in the first three roll’s
Anything after doesn’t count, so say you rolled a 1 but you were the fourth person to roll as it’s a best of three system (crit fails are only over-riding if it is one of the three roll’s) so if we rolled a 69,100 and a 1 the 100 would take precedence (anything after those first three do not count) but if we rolled for instance 69,99 and 1 in the first three the 1 would take over this is what happened last time (not those numbers specifically nor in that order but a 1 was part of the three legal roll’s. If we start allowing 100’s to be taken despite not being legal roll’s (after the initial three) the. We open ourselves up to more crit fails as well.

>>5047251
>That only happened once
We also had critfails in the start. The way i see it, if we're already getting critfails, it would also be good to get a crit success too.

Will you people quit whinging about a missed crit-success already. This is the nature of a quest, you can't expect or demand that things should always go your way, nor should you expect or demand that the QM recompense you for previous bad rolls or missed good ones.

>>5047294
As>>5047307 said put up and shut up by this point you ain’t getting that 100

Pulling some strings with your little Consortium friends, has gotten you some listed vessels that are... capable of movement. They were able to mark down the location of a handful of vessels, a trio of Old Recusant Class Destroyers, Droid Brains removed, but little else done. You'd need much larger crews then normal, likely around 5,000 each, but it'd be possible to fly em out of the shipyards.

Your own Paperwork diving finds you deep in the guts of the entire ship retirement process. For the first 2 years post war, over 50 Capital Ships a day were logged and retired, Decommissioned then left to rust until the Scrapper guild made heir way there. Every single Droid warship laid to rest there had it's brains stripped or Blown out, to prevent any emergency reactivations, and more then a few vessels went missing from the yards over the last 2 decades, usually accounted for within the rebel fleet later.

Occasionally, Venators or Victory Is were pulled from the yards in times of emergency, such as the months after The DS-1 was destroyed, and the navy began pulling people out of retirement to fill more holes. As of right now, the yards had seen a handful of old vessels returned from duty, or decommissioned freshly a few months prior to endor. You read 6 Vessels possibly of use. 2 more Venators, and 4 Carracks. Theres a chance rebels may be pulling from the world as well, and may have some of these already though,. or more you hadn't considered

On the matter of manning these vessels, however, you'll need around 35,000 more crewmen, and the New Order isn't willing to provide for this.

You have a few ideas immediately to remedy this. One would be to go to a world and have a... "Recruiting Drive." Send down some troops to a world, and grab up new conscripts. As is, the fleet consists mostly of volunteers, and conscripts could prove to be a morale issue in the future, but it'd be the fastest way to soak in enough bodies to perform your mission.

Another method of operating around this would be to spend some of your coffers on droids. Bulk purchases of droids will fill out the positions, and be able to crew out the total fleet with little issues, but to find competent enough droids to move starships would cost a pretty penny...

>We'll claim new recruits by force(If so, where)

>We'll Buy Droids(Minimum to spend is 25 Influence, can spend more to get more reliable droids)

I will use this, in a lesser capacity, but it will improve something later...

>>5047449
>We'll Buy Droids(Minimum to spend is 25 Influence, can spend more to get more reliable droids)
Might as well me thinks

How many influence we's got again?

>>5047449
Nob, can we get a scaling list of what kind of droids would be available by Influence spent?

Could we acquire something more combat capable than a B-1 with sufficient influence- say, 40 or 50?

>>5047468
Why would we have more expensive wardroids to work as pilots?

>>5047471
Multi-use. We'll probably be able to acquire more volunteers later, they're better at resisting boarding than janky B-1s, and they can fill in as ground troops when we don't need 'em as space crew.

>>5047465
113 influence available rn

>>5047468
25 Influence would get the minimum, any droid abke to work ship systems, such as labor and protocol droida. 50 would get assorted security droids for the majority of them, giving them some combat ability, more would get you crews made of more modern Imperial produced droids capable of fighting and working vessels.

>>5047449
>>Write-ins still acceptable, ill answer questions

Can we also attempt recruiting volunteers? Maybe shore up what we cant get with droids

>>5047504
I'd like to do this, but we would need to find a place where there's a sufficient number of imperials or imperial supporters. We're in the mid-outer rim right now, so it's not ideal, but we could try hitting a beleaguered imperial outpost for an evacuation op, though I don't know what kind of battles and sieges are going on right now. A return to Black Sword Command territory perhaps?

>We'll Buy Droids

>>5047545
Given command is playing hard to get with manpower (pretty understandable given the recent losses) and the fact that the empire is resorting to dragging teen's out of the military academies to fill gap's, we are likely to be stuck with droid crew's for a while on some of these ships.

>>5047449
>We'll Buy Droids (45 Influence)
>Look for volunteers

>>5047449
>We'll claim new recruits by force(If so, where)

We should save our influence for star destroyers and technologically superior prototypes.

>>5047558
Force pressing people into service is a horrible idea. It's literally just asking for rebels. I mean, fuck, we're giving these people TURBOLASERS. You do understand that?

Forcing people into joining the army only works if you're using them as infantry - replaceable, unimportant, just throw them at the enemy with a gun and they'll shoot to live.

>>5047553
Though once we eventually do get enough human crew to take over most functions we can utilise the former droid crew's as foot soldiers for planetary assaults, 1 B-1 isn't much of a threat 35,000 or more however... well the rebels aint clone troopers.

>>5047449
>Attempt a recruiting drive on a planet instead of forced conscription
>We'll Buy Droids(Minimum to spend is 25 Influence, can spend more to get more reliable droids)

I'm hoping to get some volunteers to knock off the Influence price of the droids.

What about conscripting prisoners, imprisoned smugglers and bounty hunters? I'm sure it won't solve our manpower problems, but it may make a dent enough that we won't be forced to spend all of our influence on competent droids, and we'd be able to offer a pardon for their service.

>>5047498
How much more for modern Imperial droids, just for curiosity's sake? I'm not planning on breaking the bank yet, but I doubt our manpower shortage will be resolved anytime soon either.

>>5047569
>and we'd be able to offer a pardon for their service.

Aren't there large bandit gangs and the like on the world we're headed to? Maybe we can offer pardons for volunteers when we get there as well as trying to pick up other volunteers

>>5047585
Who's to say they havent already recieved similar offers from the New republic? After all Renegade Squadron was a thing (Smugglers, mercenaries and pirates that fought in a number of the rebellion's key battles)

>>5047585
Not a bad idea, I don't 100% expect it to work out but worth a shot. At the very least I bet a few of the scrappers will be willing to seek new employment. Whatever shortcomings we have after that I still support spending whatever it takes to get competent droids to fill them.

>>5047593
I think the best option would be getting enough "Competent droids"/specialised droids to fill the important role's on the ship's that we cannot fill with a organic and the less specialised role's be filled by cheaper droids (as it shouldnt put too much stress on their programming) - buying enough to completely run the ship's as needed and as we pick up more organic volunteer's along the way we can bit by bit move the droids into positions to bolster our current droid boarding/ground forces.

>>5047594
Maybe, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Ok, so far majority favors buying droids, but 2 ideas have been brought up as well on extra crew, either Pardoning criminals for the fleet, or Making pit stops for Volunteers along the way. Ill need to know how much influence you guys want to spend on Droids, and to vote on which of the 2 you wish to do alongside droid purchases.

penals are more likely to have rebel sympathies, be alderanians, or be too hostile/dumb to train. regular coreward volunteers are more likely to just want to leave the planet, especially the lower levels of corescant who legitimatly think the sun is a myth. but we should still be on the lookout for rebel sympathisers.

Penal's for extra fodder if we are allowed.

A massive flow of freighters meet your fleet, as row upon row of Droids are delivered in crates and containers, some even just on open racks. Eventually, enough droids are aboard youre vessels that alot of cargo space is simply full to the brink of bursting. You go over the orders for droids, and review what you were able to get on:

Hundreds of M-3PO Military Protocol Droids, when it comes to networking and commanding your little legion here of crew droids, these will be the brains of their operation.

KX Series Security Droids, and DT Series droids: Well armored, and provide eneough muscle and combat power to allow the ships decent security, on par with stormtrooper detachments.

Blastromech droids, Security droids of various police types, a metric ton of Pit droids to keep everything running together, and bam. You have enough droids after a spending spree to man your planned new vessels. You even managed to pull some strings to get a small squadron of Dark Trooper Phase Is attached to your fleet, where you keep them though is up to you.

>-60 Influence, Total remaining is 53.

As for your volunteering goals,to supplement the droid crew with some loyal Imperials, you have 2 choices to pull this off in a timely manner: To gather men, ou can make appeals and campaigns for more men, at worlds along the way, as you will pass a few imperial systems n your way to the target, hopefully finding plentiful loyalists to bolster your forces, likely at least over 10,000 to provide human ingenuity where droid minds cannot. This route also passes through Kuat and Commenor, 2 worlds with major political and economic connections, and shipyards to boot!

You could try making stops to see of wrangling vessels at these worlds, but you likely will have to get involved in the finer areas of Politics there, taking more time to reach destination.

Time that could end up spent by the rebels salvagin vessels you may have to face, or other such activities, but you may be able to make connections that would go a long way in the future. Likewise, Commenor is a major trading hub, so you'll surely be able to make a good call in to the Black Market if you so desired, maybe even trying to get favors there from Zann and his consortium.

Well, one if it can get us a good call into the black market we may be able to get some upgrades for our ship's and ground units we wouldn't be able to get from command, whilst the facilities at commenor should provide us with the means to hopefully replace some of our TIE wing's with interceptor's.

Really we should only be stopping at one of these worlds, the entire point of us coming out here is to knock up some scrap planets for loot and in turn, hitting the rebels where it hurts... one of their primary sources of warships and material.

It is simple, we have an objective and we lose out by using our time on anything else other than that objective but we can stop by both on our return trip. I want to make connections for the future so we have more contacts to access more services in the future or have further job offers or make friends with people who can help us when we go our own way, but there is no need to do it on the way to this particular objective.

But a noble of what government? Basically every planet has its own "nobility", not to speak of imperial cadet houses.

>>5050172
there's only one rank of nobility worth jack shit in the empire, and that's Emperor.

>>5050576
Rights of sentients were outlined in the imperial charter, the empire’s founding document based on the republic’s constitution, even if they look like over the top villains in the movies, the imperials still had a functioning government and legal system. I would assume most of the people who believe in the empire being an overall good thing to exist in the galaxy for anything beyond personal gain, such as Caimes has been written to be, would respect those rights as being important to uphold. Most imperials not directly working with the highest of top brass were decent if not good people.

>>5049979
Also what kind of canon are we working with here? Is the emperor gonna return like in Dark Empire, or are we going nu-lore?

Or are you making your own canon??

>>5050659
Well from what we’ve seen so far there are elements from both legends and nu-lore (the onager, starhawk and our new DT security droids are nu lore for instance, but how events have been playing out on the galactic scale has fitted with legends, so I’d say the senate is still probably in a tube on byss at this time)

>>5050659
Timeline is semi legends with some changes to major events and timescales, so as to make it a non 0erfect book of whats to come so as to reduce meta knowledge power. Expect Legends to prevail on how stuff is going, but see Nu canon equipment and whatnot I like to appear as well.

>>5050792
That’s a good way to do things, take the cool ships and stuff from nu canon and take the good world building from legends

After a slow clip journey, gathering recruits, you decide wasting time on the snobs of higher imperial society would be q waste, and decide to make an easier stop at Commenor.

Commenor is a major trade world, and home to multiple shipbuilding magnates, that have had or still have contrqcts to produce smaller vessels for the empire, between lancers and vindicators. Business out here is alot more simple as well, you can either meet with the Magnates right now, or go with your Black market contact to meet someone more important to look for special items...

Your shuttle makes a grand entry to the Shipyard's office, touching down in your Lambda after making an appointment to meet with the Shipwrights here. The offices seem to be relatively quiet, and even on the way in, the yards seemed rather quiet during your approach. Pretty soon, you're brought before a Duros officeworker, one of the lower suits judging by his title of "Assistant Director of Sales". He shakes your hand once you come in, and makes some Idle chatter before getting down to business.

"Mister Caimes, to be fully honest, your reputation has been one of middling status within the circles of gossip we have our fingers in. While that in and of itself will not affect our will to sell to you, I have been informed that the Moff holding this world has sent strict instructions to restrict our sale of Military Vessels to you, " for the sake of World Security." However, we are able to sell select vessels in limited quantities currently, unless you would be interested in signing this NDA and coming with me to speak with my manager, Then we'd be able to talk of making more available.

What do you say to his offer?
>Yes
>No

>>5051904

Let's get 3 carrack classes, and just that. The rest are not worth it. Carrack cruisers are more heavily armed than strikes and CR-92s

>Yes

>>5051908
We should probably also pick up the interceptors and Star-wings, if only so we have less standard TIE's, We should probably also ask how much it would cost to get our damaged squadrons back up to full strength.

>>5051927
I say this because stadard TIE's are pretty crap and whilst we have a lot of them... well all they are really good for is being easily replaceable , The interceptor's and Starwings' will give our pilot's a much higher survival rate and will be able to hold up better vs rebel craft.(the starwings are also pretty good multi-role fighter bombers.)

>>5051904
>Yes
This doesn't mean we're going to accept whatever they're going to offer us, just that we're willing to talk.

>4 TIE/IN Interceptor Squadrons
Sell 4 our of TIE/LN squads, we need as many interceptors as we can get. I'm fine with getting any other ships, but we need those interceptors.

>>5051938
The long term goal should definitely be replacing all our LNs with INs. We should aim for juicy stuff like the defenders too, but the INs should be the mainstay of our fighter force.

>>5051943
That's why I think we should pick up the Starwing's too, they can out-turn an X-wing (though are a bit slower by 10 MGLT) and have sheilds and hyperdrives and are well armed (two medium laser cannons, 2 Ion cannons and 2 concussion missile launchers (16 missiles or 12 proton torps) and can be fitted with starfighter sized tractor beams, the two squadrons we have at the moment have served us well in both the anti-ship and starfighter role.

>>5051904

>Pay to bring our understrength squardrons up to full strength

> 4 TIE/IN's
> 4 XG-1 Star WIng's
> 2 Carrack's
> Sell 8 TIE L/N Squadrons

20 Influence which would leave us with 33... it would be all well and good buying more heavier warship's but the more spare crew we use here, the less we have for our objectives. Hence buying up the fighters as they are replacements and as such can use existing pilots. (we can have chatterbox pick out those he believes are ready to step up to more advanced craft)

>>5051958

>make sure to read the fucking small print

>>5051956
Why would we give a fuck about signing an NDA? We got rebels to kill and bigger shit on our plate than worrying about signing an NDA.

And as others have suggested, be sure to scrutinize it first. No plans on making any purchases until after.

"we're only supposed to spend our official budget at approved vendors"

Well guess we got to hand our stormtrooper's Ion rifles back, they aint from an approved vendor *cough

>>5051904

Finally, some TIE/IN's again.

>Buy 4 TIE Interceptor Squadrons.
>Buy 2 Strike Cruisers.

We should have the crew for this since we paid for droids for our raid and decided to pick up volunteers.

TLDR, TIE interceptors, very good, but anything better than an X-wing is also good for us if we can get our hand's on them, given they are the most likely thing we are to come across when fighting Reb's.

>>5051960
The probably have influence to use it to screw us over. The empire is big and bureaucratic. There will be mechanisms to screw us over.

I'm sort of feeling that after this mission, we should try and increase our rep with some of the other factions, like the Navy, Intel, and the Consortium. I'm sort of itching for something that'll take us on a larger offensive against the rebels, after a fashion.

Don't forget Imperial pilots are more likely to survive getting blasted since they have space suits with self-contained life support. Honestly I'm kinda baffled the rebels don't, budget cuts maybe?

>>5052067
We're happy to announce that Taskforce Caimes is becoming part of the Commenor defence community! It's always been our dream to serve the empire this way. To that end, we are now giving the Commenor defence force half of our fleet, in the expectation that we will be generously rewarded in the future. Captain Caimes thanks you for your support and looks forward to serving Commenor for the foreseeable future.

>>5052078
They dont because of differing technical approaches. The TIE fighter itself doesnt come with a lift support system so the pilots wear it. The X-Wing fighter comes with integrated life support. And considering that rebel and republic pilots tend to get picked up after punching out, logic suggest that the life support system shown here is partially integrated into the ejection seat, giving them some time for CSAR.

>>5051904
Sign the NDA after we make sure that’s it’s only an NDA and doesn’t have any other stipulations. I’m not sure why some anons are so scared of non disclosure agreements in a meeting, those are probably pretty common right now in the empire considering how much they love secret super weapons, how they are still trying to hide palatines death, and how bureaucratic they are in general. If this happens to be the kind of NDA related to secret weapons we might be able to get ourselves something really juicy, and having information not privy to the public isn’t going to harm us.

You decide to give it a go, and read the contract. It's rather basic, just explaining that everything you are to hear soon is to be never brought up afterwards, unless with the man who told it to you, under threat of Lawsuits, blacklisting, et cetera...

After signing it and clearing there are no hidden clauses, you are taken to meet the Minister of design, a Muun of all things. His office is a mess, of papers and designs, and stacks of Datapads and Holograms of all sorts of vessels, both ones you recognize, and designs you've never seen before. He introduces himself as Rom Gogg, soon to be famous Ship designer.

"When I found out you were coming through, I had to talk to you Commander! You see, the local Moff has enough men on his payroll to garrison and protect htis world and Foundry, and he's more then willing to spend the dough on ships to guard his territories. The problem is, he refuses to see the light of innovation and invest in any real R&D endeavors, citing our tried and true products as being adequate enough. I refuse to fall prey to this man's failure to see the future, however, and I will offer you a deal of the century!

Gentleanons, an idea has formed in my mind. what if we cut a deal and sell any combat data we have from our encounter with the starhawk? They wanted to innovate, and likely want to one up "lesser" shipwright. what better to do then provide them with a tip on the new cutting edge? of course we don't have anything huge that gives a decisive counter, but in this early stage any information helps in the arms race.

>>5052405
>I will offer you a deal of the century!
A B3 Battle Droid?

>>5052444
Our superiors may also be interested in his idea’s it could be mutually beneficial, these shipyards could serve as an additional front for the new order (providing expertise and material for our own shipyards and a couple of ships disappearing from the books under the moff’s nose) in exchange for supporting and providing the facilities and manpower to make Mon Gogg’s dreams a reality.

>>5052458
B3 Droids are useless if you're not strictly fighting Jedi, you might as well just get some droidekas.

>>5052592
Are you sure your not thinking of the C-B3 cortosis?? The C-B3 is the anti Jedi one due to its specialised cortosis armour, the B-3 us an uparmoured, uparmed and upscaled B-2

>>5052606
C-B3s are literally just B2s with Cortosis. B3s have stuff like that gravity generator that stops jedi from being able to just force push them down. They're also made of Cortosis.

Okay anon's... we have a choice, bulk up our current force now for the operation ahead (fighters and escorts) or put our influence into this as an investment... of course as the chief investor to get this project up and running we may be able to convince him to add some features that we may be interested in that it currently does not have as... request's or suggestions... a third possible option is getting this man in touch with the New order who may take this idea on board given their need for new ships.

>>5052723
Are their any other designs on his desk?

>>5052723
We have 53 influence... I propose we spend it on this and TIE/INs. We could really do with a good counter to the new ships the rebels are putting out, and out of character we know they're starting production of SSD equivalents.

>>5052736
Also supporting this.

>>5052723
>Yes
>Spend the rest on TIE/IN Interceptor Squadrons

If we can bring our understrength squadrons up to full strength as well, that would be rad.

>>5052726
Dont expect it to kill an SSD alone, but not counting for Point defence or fighter interception, it has a modest chance of damaging an SSD modestly for it's size

>>5052723
>BUY IT

>>5052736
Nothing he'd think of interest to you, beyond some conceptual designs for Ships far beyond his employer's abilities to build, but as a Muun, he is obligated by his fair contract to remain here for it's duration.

>>5052723
>Invest
Also, he doesnt happen to have some Munificent-class ships around, does he?

>>5052723
>Buy it.

>>5052723
> invest in the design

>Ask if we would be able to take the Interceptors and Starwings if they can be spared to cover up the transaction to his employers. Think of our financial backing of his prototype as our investment and the fighters as his investment in us.

>>5052866
Anon, he specifically doesn't like that his employer just sticks to old stuff (Civil War), he's not going to have Clone Wars stuff.

>>5052723
>Tempting, but I need to know I can trust you. Give me something upfront.

>>5052723
Buy if he can install some anti tractor beam BS tech countermeasures.

>>5052899
There is no such thing… we’ve been over this. Tractor beams have been around for hundreds of years by this point, there’s not much you can really do other than some adhoc measures that have no guarantee of success.

>>5052856
WAIT!
What if we sell him combat data from our engagements? Bet he could use that to improve his designs and give us a nice discount!

>>5052903
BS tech needs BS countermeasures.

THROW ENOUGH MONEY AT THE PROBLEM UNTIL WE MAKE PHYSICS OUR BITCH!

>>5052905
There is one countermeasure...

>>5052723
Invest
Ask him if he would be interested in battle data from our latest run in with the rebel’s new capital ship class to help his next ideas along
See if we can get some star wings or ties as cover for our transaction since he seems to want it kept under the table

>>5052904
This
>>5052723
Agree and negotiate. Offer him some battle data from our last engagements, including the thing that ripped apart ships. Maybe he needs some droids or fresh crewmen to learn his prototype ship without unlearning other habits, and if its going to be ours anyways then we would have to eventually crew it anyways.

>>5053002
This.

BUY! BUY! BUY!

>>5052932
Give now!

>>5053002
What if... What if we have detachable parts that site over the hull that are actually torpedos so when they get pulled, they fly towards the enemy ship?

>>5052723
>buy it.
how long is the range of the missiles/torpedoes it carries, and do they have guidance? this thing has the potential to punch well above its weight class, since some types of torpedoes and missiles can ignore shields.

>>5053062
According to fractal sponge the guy who made the original art, it 4.2km long and the missiles are guided, will have to see what the QM is doing with it.

>>5053002
+1

>>5053002
While he'd love to give his first patron a discount, as it stands, he is unable to do that, as he needs the money to fund the Development and Construction.

>>5053001
He could ensure there's a squadron of Star wings in it for the pickup as a bonus, but you've signed your NDA, he expects you to uphold your part of the deal, or the contract will be rendered moot.

>>5053072
this current version is a pocket design of it, at a length of 1km with Guided proton torpedoes

>>5053191
Would he be at all interested with getting in touch with our own superiors or would it be better advertising for us to return to our own space with his design in tow.

>>5053191
Of course we plan to uphold our deal, the suggestion was to “buy star wings from him at a higher price bc the moff doesn’t trust us” while really just using that as a cover for him to receive money legally and so nobody knows we have anything to do with the project since he wants to keep it NDA’d and presumably black budgeted

>>5053193
proton torps ignore shields, right? oris that just in Empire at War

>>5053354
Depends on whether the target has particle or thermal shielding along with their ray sheilding, proton torps and any physical mass for that matter will ignore ray sheilding but will be stopped by particle and or thermal sheilding, most warships have both particle and ray sheilds, thermal sheilding is less common. An example would be the thermal exhaust port on the Death Star, the rest of the station was both ray and particle shielded except for the exhaust port which was only ray shielded so it could function as an exhaust, as such a proton torps could go down it no problem.

>>5053354
But given massed torp fire from
Star fighters and bombers is capable of overwhelming a warships sheilds, it’s fair to say capital grade torps will have a far greater effect.

You decide this would be a worthwhile investment, and provide the funds. In exchange, by the time you're back from Bracca you should have a new Ship with a squadron of Star wings aboard and ready. With alot of gratuitous thanks and farewells, you leave behind the designer, and before you get on your shuttle, start assessing your wallet.

>current influence is now 3.

You dont have much more you'll be able to get, but you could either buy a squadron of fighters here, or try seeing whats in the markets if you'd be interested.

See if we can earn some favor from the black markets during our current mission, such as picking them up something or delivering it to the planet. An ord world seems like it might have some stuff of interest to them.

>>5053948
>>My wallet is drained, Let's keep going on with our mission.

More funds is always good.

You mean the black market stuff then.

>>5053948
>Lets buy something else here(anything you can afford.)
WE NEED THOSE GODDAMN TIE INTERCEPTORS YOU IDIOTS

>>5054179
We need more influence in general ya moron.

I'm in favor of buying more shit, be we gotta see what other minor jobs we can do on the black market.

>>5053948
>Let's see what we can do in the underworld(Black market stuff)

>>5054179
We have fucking 3 influence, we can't buy jackshit

>>5054220
That's enough for 3 TIE/IN Interceptor Squadrons, as regarded by >>5051904, which would be worthwhile if >>5051989 is anything to go by.

We should totally be going to the black market for some extra work to do though.

>>5054226
We should not be leaving with 0 fucking influence

>>5054264
3 influence is pretty much as good as nothing. We really should be getting those interceptors considering they're only beaten by A wings and Defenders in terms of quality. And we're going to have very few opportunities to grab them wherever we go. We must not let this opportunity pass.

>My wallet is drained, Let's keep going on with our mission.
Interceptors are great but we've got plenty already and we can get a better deal elsewhere.

>>5054419
You not gonna be getting a better deal elsewhere. 1 Influence per squadron is a bargain, and you know it.

>>5054423
It's the exact same price as last time we got them, we can shop around.
