Main - Chapter 7.2: Neptunia

No pretech cosmetics are available. Otherwise, that's ok.

When equipping the NPC, everyone needs to be in an environment suit. We are going to hit vacuum at some point. We need to be prepared for that.

I am fuzzy on how much time we have. I'd like some of the cargo moved around, at least the bikes, but if we don't have time for it, we don't have time for it. They are interested in the guns. I'd rather not lose the rest if we can avoid it. However, if one of the combat specialists (Douklan) has a better use for them, go for it.

I still want Mariella and the two non-combatants to be moved out of the way so as to not get stuck in any crossfire. They need to be fully set up with vacc suits. Erin and the two new grunts will get to help with the defense, however. They will preferably be fully kitted out, but if the barbarian can only handle something less, so be it. Jil needs to be part of any invasion team to be able to fly the stolen ship. Hank will help out wherever he can help out. No idea what that will be given his modest combat skills.

One.
The attack frigate have boarding tubes. They don't need airlocks.
Okay!
You mean Mariella, Stone and Maya? Sure, they will follow your choices, go to the bridge (Section 5.A) and try to stay out of the way. I'm giving you control of their actions. Valeria can try to protect them and you can stay there as well, if you want.

Xia can fight, but not use powered armor. Let me put her under Mercer now, with an Icarus Harness and Spike Thrower, per PhoenixScientist loadout.
Jil, Erin, and Appius are under Douklan's direct command for this, so it's up to Spaceseeker19. If he doesn't says otherwise, Jil is using an armored vacc suit and will try to stay at the rear and work as pilot/support for them. Erin and Appius are using Assault Suits and are at the front, part of his assault squad.

Are you going letal or stunner rifles, Douklan? There are tons of stunners if you wanna use them ;)
Hank? I mean, there is no one left. =D I think you're understaffed for combat.
You can. For reference, a section is roughtly 100 feet wide x 100 feet long (20 x 20 squares). I'm choosing now that "RB's trap" will damage with 3d8 anyone within 15 feet (3 squares) when it blows, with an Evasion saving throw for half damage. Victims up to 35ft away (7 squares, if there is no cover/nothing in between) take half damage, with an Evasion save for none.

So, there is a central square for each trap, that I will let you choose before combat starts in a specific section / map. For now, I just need to know how many traps you're putting in which sections. =)

Peter, or Peter and Hank, as an attack force against marines from the main unit isn't going to work. Peter should join one of the other three teams: bridge, Douklan, or Mercer.

Emergency Repairs - 3CP

Great! You still have 4 CP left in this round, Corbin. The engines are now damaged but functional (Spike 1 rating). If you repair them again, they will be as good as new (Spike 2). Or you can restore some of the hull using Damage Control (3 CP). The CV took 11 hit points from previous shots.

What do you do?

I fell like they will let the freemerchant dock, but as soon as they notice it's a trap they will try and board with the attack frigatewe

Will it make more tactical sense for everyone to be in one spot, even the non-combatants? Plus, I'm sure the Captain can fire a gun, so that's a couple extra guns a-blazin' if needed.

We have six combatants: Douklan, Peter, Erin, Appius, Mercer, and Jil. Potentially Valeria and Hank, too. Corbin would count, but he and Gui are working on other things. Assuming all these named, that gives a max of ten combatants. Against at least double that. The non-combatants are Xia, Mariella, Evelyn, and Maya. The latter four can be armed if they so desire. I assume everyone else is armed with their favorite lethal weapon. The latter four will absolutely be put into armored vacc suits. The rest will be armored as they desire, but everyone has to be in either combat armor, armored vacc suit, or have an Icarus harness.
