Hive Fleet Quest 5 The Hivemind 04/02/13(Tue)19:15 No.24020184

Welcome back, after an extended absence, to HIVE FLEET QUEST!!!
Last time: We were engaging the Tau forces on a jungle world and discovered they had an under ground base, possibly digging up artifacts. Our attempts to foil them went poorly, however, as the Dice Gods looked down upon our rolls and determined that they would suck. The Tau are currently preparing to engage us in a space battle, perhaps a little too over confidently. How shall we prepare?

We are safely more numerous than they are, our fleet in the mid 100,000s while they are merely high 10,000s.

A good idea. Roll 1d100s for result. Average of first 5 rolls are used. 100s = instant successes, 0s = instant failures.

Average: 48
Who ever is the Air Caste member in charge of the Tau fleet seems to be well experienced. The Tau forced for saw our attempts and set many of their most powerful ships on the flanks, allowing them to gun down many of our ships as we attempted to encircle them. Our superior numbers do mean we are slowly gaining ground, but it will take a long time to fully encircle them, by which point the Tau will have attempted something else.
How shall we react?

In the center of the Tau fleet rests a Flag ship, a large well armed and over decorated Tau craft. It seems strangely undefended, most of the best ships defending the flanks. However, attacking it would mean charging straight into the center of their lines.

Attack flag ship in center use the opening created to wipe out the rest of the fleet. If we already have them encircled then doing this will isolate the remander ships from each other crushing support.

It may be a ruse, send a very small force to try and board the vessel. We don't want to commit large numbers into what is likely the firing lane of a powerful weapon...

Aaaaaaaaaand thats an insta fail.
As our boarding pods approach, they are suddenly shot out of the sky by... seemingly nothing. Pulse and rial fire coming out of no where. Deep One has survived, as he always does, but is lost in space for now and is unavailable for use. Meanwhile, various other sections of our fleet are reporting similar events, Tau fire coming out of empty space. They are slowly turning the tides.
How shall we confront this new threat?

We can still go for an attack on the flag ship, though considering the shots from nowhere, we don't know how defended it is now.

Don't shoot the flagship. The shots can't come from nowhere, there are most likely hidden ships or weapon platforms. Or some weird kind of teleportating ammunition.
>>24027260
Do this to some of the spots. If it stops them from shooting attack the rest.

I never implied it wasn't blind shooting. Now that you mention it though, it is aimed shooting at certain spots in space. Blind shooting would be if we had nothing to aim at.
