"They got your message Ken, they want to repay us with a landing party. I think we'll politely decline. Would you all please show the rest of our guests out?"
OOC:
If we're not at max speed then I'll accelerate. If we're at max speed then I'll start pulling up into the atmosphere.Dec 20, 2022 10:08 pm
AD-hoc says "Since it appears more fighting is inevitable, let's try and be a more difficult target." before working to temporarily increase power to the forward shields
OOC:
wow, this is not my session. lolLast edited December 20, 2022 10:09 pm

Meebo was headed for the empty turret, so if he has a target, he'll take a shot at it.Miss with 2 advantage. Can I make those into black dice for our enemies' next actions?

Tomas takes a shot at the nearest TIE. But he doesn't have an gunnery skill, so he hopes natural talent will score him at least something!

@Meebo- yes. So, Ken hustled out of the dorsal turret to one of the side turrets, opposite Tomas and Meebo ended up in the dorsal turret.The lead element now gone; the second pair of ships opens fire.
The lights flicker for a second as the Ties rake across the ship, your shields absorbing the damage.

Nox, any pilot checks or what's you intention towards the picket ship to the front? Ken and Tomas, you may fire. Meebo, the Dorsal gun is a Turbolaser, so it only fires every other turn.

OOC:
I'm not super familiar with ship combat. My intentions are to flee. Are we near enough the edge of atmosphere to hyperspace jump? What kind of ship is in front of us in comparison to ours? i.e. Larger or smaller / more or less armed.Dec 23, 2022 9:21 pm

Ken and Tomas open up on the remaining TIEs, both score solid hits and one of them is destroyed with the other barely limping away.

Tomas sighs and leans back in relief. But he knows they're probably not out of this yet.

"Okay guys, guns forward. We're gonna give a run for it." Nox keeps angling up and out of the atmosphere adding in some evasive maneuvers now.

As AD-hoc is the only other one on the bridge, he alone witnesses the flurry of actions taken by Nox as he flips switches and directs levers across the multi-crew command console. AD-hoc also wonders what it was all for, as the ship continues on straight towards the approaching Imperial picket ship.

Meebo vacates he dorsal turbo laser as he realizes the ship isn't really maneuvering. He figures any ship with 8 stations on the bridge might be more than Nox can handle alone and heads back to co-pilot.
Tomas and Ken spin their turrets forward and spot the light Imperial corvette moving across their path. The ship is still at long range and they are closing steadily.

OOC:
At present, your ship is moving forward and will close 1 range band a round (long,medium,short,close). The turbolaser is range medium, the forward photon torpeados are range short and the side turrets are range close. We are out of combat for the moment, Action!Jan 4, 2023 2:43 pm
AD-hoc turns from his station to ask Nox 'Well then, as you're in the captain's chair, what's the next course of action? Are we going to try and evade or try and punch our way through? Assuming of course returning this ship is not an option'
Jan 4, 2023 6:43 pm
Tomas vacates the turret and head to the bridge, as he's wondering what the plan is. With every step he's trying to control his fear and frustration.
Jan 4, 2023 9:03 pm
Ken makes his way from the side turret to the dorsal turbolaser. 'I'm going to fire up the turbolaser, someone activate the photon torpedo array, and get those shields pointing forwards! No point getting shot down without a fight.' Once he's in the firing seat he studies the readouts on the targeting computer, whistling, he says over the comms, 'This picket outguns us, any objections to me hailing them, trying to confuse them a bit while you get us moving?'
OOC:
Does Ken have any idea whether the transport can outrun the corvette? Also, how much does it outgun the transport? Are we about to get blown out of the sky?Jan 4, 2023 10:10 pm
"We should strongly consider keeping Imperial casualties to a minimum. The penalty for theft doesn't compare to the ones for murder. This aren't low level Yiyar thugs." AD-hoc chimes in, as he turns back to his console and prepares to boost shields in case they choose the direct approach.
