After a brief scuffle with an Elite Rebel Cruiser after their fleet caught up with us (Perhaps that was the trap and this was all some kind of Double-Bluff?) I take a moment to look over the readouts, and examine the ship. Firepower is, shall we say, sufficient. We have heavy defenses combined with an outstanding offense. Fuel is low, as well as our engine's power; we're unlikely to be able to pull off any evasive maneuvers in this retrofitted medical ship. But the SkyShip Crutch4 is serving us well. Us being myself, the Droids R3D0 and C2P2, the Prostitute/Gunman/Slugman Dr. Mr. Derek, and the Engineering Engi Nikolai.

With the main body of the Rebel Fleet hot on our heels, we need to move! Luckily, we're near the Long-Distance Jump Ring, allowing us to move to the next sector. We're in range of two; a nondescript Civvie cluster, and the Zoltan homeworlds. Assording to my guidebook, the Zoltan are some form of Space-Roach, or something, maybe. This thing hasn't proved to be accurate in the past, and I don't personally know.

We head SpaceNorthward, deeper into the nebula! Hopefully, these think clouds will slow the Rebel fleet.
We emerge from the mists of ice and particulates, into a clearing of sorts. We've encountered a Rebel auto-scout, lying in wait for us to appear! It appears heavily armed, and scans are reading they've sent a hacking drone towards us as well! Conflict is unavoidable, what are our tactics?

>>36215322
Ion blast aimed at shields, flack aimed at weapons, hull laser across shields and engine.
And turn your drone on.

>>36215433
Scratch that, switch the flack and ion.
And don't fire your laser until their shields are down.

>>36215322
I think our drone is dead.

Hold the drone in until the hack ends. All guns on enemy weapons, they have too much gun.

>>36215322
Flak at weapons/hacking, Ion is only ever going to hit shields, laser wherever. Don't bother turning the drone on till hacking is off, if it's needed.

>>36215433
That hacking module is heading strait for the drone control.

>>36215433
>>36215458
Hah.

Go with the first post, ignore the last. I still stand by waiting for the hack to end then deploying the drone.

The beginning of the fight is a wild flurry of gunshots; their multi-shot weapons seem to charge at an astounding rate! We take multiple missile shots before we're able to drill into their shields and destroy the scouts weaponry, but as soon as we do, it's an easy win.

We all start adjusting our ties as we begin to dock, when suddenly, the alarms go off! There are intruders on board! Barely audible over the blaring noise, we can hear a quiet, tinny warble through the comms: "It's pirates, we're hostages! We're also bald fat men, you're not missing anything, don't worry."

They don't got no TP.

Target shields and tear them apart, they have little armament.

>>36215969
Captain Hinderson. Come on, now. Give yourself a real challenge and try to get through atleast half a sector without destroying a ship. Aim for the oxygen. Hack their door controls. Mind control their biggest guy and have him break everyone.

>>36215969
Bah, Slug pirates. You've got to watch out for those fellows.

It looks like they've got a Zoltan manning the weapons. Target there; you might be able to kill it. Know what happens when a Zoltan dies? It's pretty interesting.

The intruders manage to, somehow, outrun the vacuum of space.
This is worrying.
But we send everyone into the Engine room, waiting for them to bust through! And when they do, half-dead already from the aggressive foreplay of asphyxiation, a fight breaks out! We're sure to win though, probably, maybe.
>>36216199
Meanwhile at the helm, having brutally penetrated their shields with our large pieces and breaking the thin, pulsing layer that was their shield-hex, Captain Hinderson takes the initiative to swap weapon targets; a few brief shots to the O2 with consistent fire on the shields should kill all members on-board, allowing for enhanced looting!
At least, that's how Hinderson is imagining it will play out.

This guy makes a good point. You ever have a ship where you forgo weaponry for the most part, focusing on defense and mobility, with 1 or two Zoltan crew members and a clone bay/teleporter combination? Who needs weapons when you space drown your enemies in a tide of exploding Garies.

We pepper them lightly, just enough to knock out both the shield and O2. But, we appear to have severely underestimated their weapons capabilities, and we take heavy hits! Their laser busts through our hull like it isn't even there. A swift barrage of our charged weapons finishes them off.

The captain claims that killing us is just his orders, but Hinderson can see a bit of himself in the young Rebel commander. That glint in his eye, those slightly-sharpened teeth. He just loves killing things, and Hinderson can admire that.
But he needs to be destroyed, because two Hindersons would be too much. Strategies?

Don't let them go. If they had tried talking to us before attacking, we'd consider it, but if they just go around shooting people like that, they're too much of a danger.

On a lesser note, we might gain some much-needed fuel if we blow them up.

We find a Rebel ship lying in wait for us... past the Beacon. I mean, we did end up going here so their plan worked, but that was some terrible planning on their part. What if we just left? They'd just sit out there until they got passed by their own fleet.
Anyhoo, how are we going to kill them all?

Max charge everything then aim at meds, O2 and drones.

Before shooting, mind control the pilot.

Rolled 6 (1d12)

>>36218506
Mind control their pilot to kill their evasion and aim weapons at their drone control. When those are offlineline we deploy our own drone and have our way with their ship.

>>36218506
Deploy the anti-combat drone. Their drones look unkind.

Also, use mind control on the guy in their weapons room.

>>36218530
To add to this, keep mind controlling as much as possible. Aim for anyone repairing/piloting.

Anti combat only defends. No offense.

After mind-controlling the ships captain, only to make him say "I'm a dummy dumb-dumb" repeatedly, they get the message that we don't even think they're worth waisting our time with, and offer a hefty reward for leaving them alone.

>>36218630
No fuel?!

Keep blasting them.

>>36218630
I think we should take the offer this time. Less risk of additional damage.

>>36218630
Take the offer. That gun's pretty valuable.

>>36218630
That's actually pretty good, but our ion gun is better. Blow them up!

>>36218630
Free gun? Sure. We can sell that later on.

>>36218630
Let's take it

>>36218630
More dakka. MOAR DAKKA!!!
Take the gun.

We accept their proposal, and install the new gun. It charges about four times as slowly as our outer Ion gun, but for each burst it fires, it charges quicker and deals more damage! I think it's better, but that remains to be seen. Combat tests are in order, of course.
Otherwise, this sector has been a breeze, and thanks to some skillful diplomacy, we've been granted access to Zoltan ships should we ever need them for future missions! I'd call this expedition a rousing success.

I'm going to call it quits for tonight, thanks for playing! Questions, critiques, anything like that?

>>36218842
Really fun thread, thanks! When's the next one?

>>36218842
Needs more weaponized hippies.

>>36218884
Don't know a day, but I always try to start around 10PM EST. Just check the board around then.

>>36218842
Thanks for running. Love your own fluff tibtips in between. Waiting for the next run :)

>>36218842
I put it up on the thread archive. Was that a satisfactory archival?

>>36218895
Have you considered setting up an interstellar bluebird based messenger service for this?
