Well... after accepting it, I think you can buy a Patriot. I personally used Patriot with four Lavablades Mk3. Sure, they've got slow projectile, but I tended to get rather close and personal, and I used half-salvo rapidfiring. Perhaps you could use a Rhino if you're fine with hiding in a metal bawks less agility but more firepower.
Okay, time for mission specifics. Sorry I'm late, had stuff to do IRL and my heart just ain't into it today.
As I said, Friday passed, which means the event is set to 10 AM SERVER TIME. Don't tell me you weren't warned.
Here's our targets.
Our mission is to head to Celldra, reach these stations and bombard them with Battleship-mounted artillery for a minute while Intelligence techs aboard DS17 crack the code on the messages recieved from the stations and compose a kill command for any leftover SANRAI nanites. It was determined that attacking two stations will be enough, however, attacking three of them will be a guaranteed success.
Even if we will not have battleships available, we expect that the sufficient activity near the stations will be enough.
In case I will encounter any problems of the sort I had during the last Inner Core Assault later on, either (IOC)Wanderer or denne are authorized to complete the mission without me. If they will be present, of course.
Also, you mentioned that you used 1.1. and 1.4 FL patches. IIRC they are not necessary.
Bar
Igor Flyagin sat at the table when Ajay stormed into the bar and beelined towards him, grabbing a seat at the same table and crashing on it.
-Canteen, I screwed up - he said instead of a greeting. - Royally.
-Huh? - the more senior intelligence officer asked. - What do you mean?
-When K-719 took a turn to Celldra. Remember? - Ajay started explaining. - We got attacked by an unknown Sentinel radioelectronic assault. I have just analyzed the logs and ran an ELINT run in Celldra. I know what exactly happened. I know why only K-719 got hit. Or at least, I guess that I know. You see... I activated a special comms module to contact our recon swarm in Venn and find out any incoming traffic into Celldra. The problem is, I enabled all available frequencies. Including those the swarm is explicitly not programmed to use, as I learned now.
-Those originally used in the...
-Yes - Ajay said. - The frequencies used by the Sentinel Artificial Nebula Recursive AI nanite swarm. The comms module aboard the Baneblade... is literally that same control module Strakhov's guys in black jacked from the Sentinel station, wasn't it?
Flyagin nodded.
-Well, that opened our systems directly to Sentinel - Ajay summed up. - But do you know what was even weirder? I just flew around Celldra with a reciever set to those frequencies hooked up to an isolated analog system.
-And?
-They are still transmitting! The ether on these frequencies is flooded - Ajay said and brought up a hologram with several graphs. - They are repeating the same message again and again. I have a feeling this was not an intended attack. I think they are trying to reactivate what's left of SANRAI. Canteen?
-Yes, Ajay?
-Whatever they are doing, I feel we need to stop it - the Coalition scout pilot said. - And I feel that I definitely need more tea to deal with this. Dennzio is going to flip...
OoC NOTE:
-Do you think I forgot about that one time during Operation SANRAI (January 2017) when I had Baneblade "board" one of the stations? 
Nope, I didn't, and I deliberately put that on a shelf in my mind to use it as a sequel hook.
Ajay started a new event:
QuoteONCE AGAIN, THE EVENT TIME AND DATE ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. FINAL DECISION WILL BE MADE ON DECEMBER 18TH.
Mission outline: With a fully equipped battlegroup, venture into Celldra System and shell Dom'Setek or Sentinel stations responsible for the ECM attacks. An ELINT mission will be undertaken in advance to determine the targets.
Re "Another Brick in the Wall". When it comes to building walls, I've built an in-depth defensive line that would make Perurabo jealous.
And on an unrelated note.
Dammit, that one reminds me of Kyle McCarley's Among Us quarantstreams. "When in doubt, throw Lindbeck out of the airlock is what I'm saying."
(For reference, Kyle McCarley and Erica Lindbeck were VAs for the English localization of Nier Automata, voicing 9S and Anemone respectively).
Still gotta get the singing down. Maybe I just can't sing worth sh_t.
And not only this is the first song that I learned to play on guitar with actual chords, I also usually sing out "There is a house of New Orleans..." whenever I encounter a certain American cruiser in WoWS.
Basically me playing WoWS when I'm on a cruiser and I see that the game spawned two battleships on my flank, half of the time my reaction is "Turn the ship around ye bois, turn around and run!"
Dammit. Iliyan would be all over this song AND I wouldn't have to screw my brain seven ways to Sunday trying to figure out fitting translation.
Honestly, you can just scroll up/down so you can't see the video (or just close your eyes) and pretend that this song is about Imperial Guard.
