Imperial Breakthrough OOC

Ok, since as far as I'm aware I'm the only Starfighter character on the Republic side, would anyone mind if I go ahead and get things rolling a bit? I figure I can say the rep fighters are out and waiting, which will at least give any hutt star fighters something to do.

However, I claim no responsibility for the rest of the Republic fleet.

 

[Empress]

fighters would be a go anyway, not much the fleet would do other than really be there to keep the hutts from making the jump to hyperspace, the starfighter would be the main focus at this point

Well it would be the focus for the Republic.

 

[Empress]

well naturally! they can get through defenses easier than larger ships and can do nice damage to shield generators and soften things up for the big ships, they also can single out shuttles and transports and such things like that ^_^

fighters have changed the pitch of battle so often in the first timeline that It's impossible for me to not utilize them when and where I can

Just note that the Hutt vessels are intentionally fighter-heavy, so just swooping in to blast out engines would be rough.

I believe the Republic fleet makeup has been posted already; what is the makeup of the Hutt fleet, if I am allowed to ask?

 

[Empress]

anything anyone ever does ever will be rough :P thats the nature of things..

but thats why starfighters are actually highly prized, in swarms they can soften bad guys up, and they are faster, more maneuverable and harder to target with the large capitals... thats the primary design and useage of starfighter

though naturally the enemy usually has fighters too and thats where it becomes alot harder. dog fights are a byproduct of fighters on both sides, not necessarily the primary focus of.

Ok, I have posted. If there are any major errors that need to be rectified, please let me know. This is my first foray into a major thread naval engagement, so I'm unaware of any sort of "rules" or whatnot.

As for my action, I'm going off what Lavi posted earlier (and what he told me via PM) and placing myself in charge of the fleet's three fighter squadrons. If there should be more/less, again, just let me know. Also, I know the squadron names suck but I was sapped of creative energy so if anyone has any better suggestions I am open to them.

So, yeah, hope everyone likes it, and hopefully this will allow the Hutt pilots a chance to play.

Can I get a status report on this thread? Thanks.

 

[Empress]

ditto... I ask and get nothing.. I see people say they are back and replying, then see nothing, and queries get " I don't know" in reply..

so... IF I need to replace people to keep things going, I DO need to know through a pm or message of some kind that nobody is posting in _____ amount of days/weeks

I wish I could sit down and read every thread every day, sadly I can't currently, but do check every day for PMs and deal with the micro managing I need to, and I can replace people , I just need to know.

Both Akela Armada and Emperor's Eyes Armada are in attendance, though not all squadrons of both. Both of those armadas belong to Grand Admirals, so we'll count two battlegroups under Vorsch and Tyrell collectively.

32 ships. It's a lot, but they're going to split after the break to go to the two regions they've been cut off of. As for exact ships-

Firespear Heavy Battle Squadron
Heavy Attack Line composed of four Tribal-class Star Destroyers
Heavy Attack Line composed of three Tribal-class Star Destroyers and one Vicious-class Picket Cruiser
Heavy Battle Line composed of four Devastator-class Assault Frigates
Skirmish Line composed of four Crusader-class Light Cruisers

Sorbella Medium Squadron
Heavy Attack Line composed of one Malice-class Gunship, one Vicious-class Picket Cruiser, and two Dread-class Heavy Warships
Attack Line composed of four Tusa-class Heavy Cruisers
Recon Line composed of four Crusader-class Light Cruisers
