    Mission Summary


    Yet again, alien forces were profoundly underestimated. They had intercepted and decrypted our transmissions and came prepared with the plan to split and destroy the Main Squad before it could reach Jormdar system. Nevertheless, their attempt was only partially successful - squad members managed to overcome the confusion and assemble again to continue their way being just slightly delayed. By the time they arrived to Jormdar system, Mepther and Venn gates had already been locked, and it was on the way to Sadurn jumpgate where alien troops launched a fierce attack on human ships.


    Four battleships aided by a repair support vessel were able to hold position and gradually turned the tide of battle, but it was not over yet. Facing their defeat, Savage forces tracked down and destroyed the ship of one of our technicians; only by a miracle, the pilot was able to eject a fraction of a second before the explosion. Soon after his health condition allowed him to return to his duties, the fight was over and the squad proceeded to Sadurn gate to complete its mission.


    After the main task was fulfilled, only minor encounters with enemy patrols took place, but everyone felt there was a massive pursuit force somewhere behind so the shortest route to Weth was taken. When jumping to Ryssk system, the squad had to take cover from a Warrior fleet, and near Weth jumpgate a number of Dom'Razak ships blocked the way. Thankfully they seemed to have been misinformed about the firepower of human battleships and used inconsequential tactics which brought them to a rapid defeat. The squad arrived in Weth system in triumph, and invaluable data on inhibitor tests were uploaded to IOC™ hardware at Mirtrrak Battle Station for further analysis.


    Comments and Conclusions


    In spite of numerous complications, all mission objectives were accomplished due to the right actions taken by squad members. We express our gratitude to all supporting clans (SA™, UR™, DP™ and CFPD™) and of course to freelancers who joined the operation - everyone fought bravely and died laughing contributed to our collective success. However, IOC™ Reconnaissance has failed to properly estimate the enemy's abilities, therefore more data gathering is required before any subsequent military actions could be planned. Savage and Dom'Nepesh must have something like a command center in Sadurn because this system is literally swarming with their ships, so it will most likely be chosen as a target for covert scout operations in the nearest future.

    Hello Vulk,
    welcome to SWAT community, saw you on the event some hours ago :verrueckt:


    Both favourite ships of yours are present in Crossfire, one can buy a Shroud on Planet Prophecy in Tarsus - it is quite a decent VHF.
    ANS Yamato is present only as a holoprojector which you can put on another ship to make it look like Yamato. These devices are sold in New Hongkong system, but due to huge energy drain I recommend using them only on big ships like trains or dreadnoughts.


    ... can't remember how I found Crossfire, almost 4 years have passed since then :whistling:

    Thanks to everyone for coming, and please take my apologies for talking too much there.
    (By the way, Vulkrinshul and Martind made a nice selection of screenshots where I almost don't speak :thumbsup: )


    Sorry for not writing an official mission report - too tired for that... Besides, not all players read the forum - about one half of the participants had no idea there was a mission :verrueckt:
    Anyway, most important is that it was fun, and I have never seen so many battleships in IC at once :woot:


    See you all in space, hope we do this again some day!

    P.S. Of course, the mission was a success 8)

    The mission starts in 3 hours!
    Please be there 10-15 minutes before so that we could arrange teams and begin on time.


    Still looking for more participants :rolleyes:

    Canis Sector = 32 systems per hour
    Since the sector is very small I thought it would be enough to fly in circles for 30 minutes and multiply the result by 2.


    Systems:

    [/expander]
    Please find the screenshots attached below... The 2nd one was taken right after the jump but a few milliseconds after sector/system name had disappeared - I didn't manage to press the button in time. :(


    To denne: my "score" is not hard to beat, I was trying to get an average result as if someone was flying randomly through Sirius. Not always the shortest way was chosen.
    If you want the best systems per time score, just keep using the closest jumphole/jumpgate in every new system :)

    Participants list has been updated, but we definitely need more people! Battleships are especially welcomed, as well as some more repair ships.


    Of course fighters are good too, preferably able to start from Omega-3.

    Mothership Hunt


    Introductory Note


    In support of the recent Inner Core Expedition #2569 successfully performed by Silver Arrows™ commander Hanzo Hasashi, a decision was made to fortify human positions in Jormdar system using the temporary disorder of alien fleets in the area.


    Additional strategic advantage over enemy forces will be guaranteed by utilizing the new technology, a product of IOC™ leading xeno-researcher Lexx and his countless attempts to collaborate with the mysterious dwellers of Kavash Arc in Banysia. The so-called "Dom'Kavash device" (its true name is classified) works as a jumpgate inhibitor: being deployed at a Dom'Kavash jumpgate, it prevents any ships hostile to Dom'Kavash race from using that gate. Three devices placed simultaneously on all three jumpgates in Jormdar will cut off all enemy reinforcements, thus making it easier to defeat the remaining alien forces inside the system.


    Mission Objectives

    • ensure the safety of technicians who are responsible for inhibitor placement
    • deploy DK devices at all jumpgates in Jormdar system
    • crush any alien resistance in the area
    • submit inhibitor test results to Lexx's computer at Mirtrrak Battle Station

    Mission Scenario

    • Technicians depart from Weth carrying a number of DK devices while the main squad starts from Omega-3.
    • Two groups meet in Jormdar; technicians immediately lock Mepther gate after the jump and head for the main squad's current location.
    • Joint team proceeds to the remaining jumpgates, annihilating all alien forces on the way.
    • When all gates are locked, we search for random alien patrols while slowly advancing to Mepther jumpgate.
    • As soon as Mepther jumpgate is reached, we leave Jormdar system and go to Weth at full throttle, engaging only when necessary.

    Closing remarks (the last but not the least!)

    • only fighters can be in technicians team
    • repair ships are desperately needed, anyone who flies a repair ship through the whole mission will get 25 million credits
    • all participants are advised to bring ammo supplies (Sunslayer, Nemesis, Cataclysm) for their own convenience
    • please do not forget to restart your game from desktop after the cra
