[Spartwo]

Oh I thought you were.I'll do so now.

Dogfight over Minmus

War Eagle 1 vs PlonioFludrasco

After picking up unknown radar pings out near Minmus, Project Genesis sends out 6 Cherub MkII of the 144th Shepard Squadron to investigate.

Battle rules

6 light craft (nothing over 35 tons)

Battlespace: Minmus

My theme music for this battle (its fitting for my return to KSP battles)

[PlonioFludrasco]

The sensors detected two formation of three units each.

One of them comprises three unknown fighters, the other three probe-tek company's fighters, without insignas on them.

The battle begins!!

EDIT ok, that wasn't fair, after the attack I was told by War Eagle that ramming is not allowed. My fault, I haven't read the rules very well....

Sorry daemon I've been distracted by ideas.

[War Eagle 1]

After some technical difficulties, me and Plonio have reset the battle

same rules as before

And my battle song is same as before

I guess the best way to make this easier would be to Half the requirements.

-Eve

-4 ships

-250 tons(1% leniency)

-No leaving system

[War Eagle 1]

Ploino told me he made his move but didn't have time to post pics but I went on ahead and made my move

The first unknown fighter fired two missiles at Shepard 5. While it is a clean kill the only part destroyed was a wing so this craft can be salvaged. Shepard 5 will simply have to wait to be picked up

So now Shepard 1 (flight lead) begins his attack

Radar has identified target

Visual Range

two shots were fired…first missed

second was a kill

All that remains of the enemy fighter

After his attack run, Shepard 1 moved to higher orbit.

It should also be noted this was my first move in which only rcs and ion power was used.

Also no casualties so far.

Where is the persistent? xD

Edit: Apparently clicking the images is the download? What?

============================================

DCSV Poseidon, Poseidon-class cannon battleship

DCSV Suijin, Suijin-class missile battlecruiser

Mint Squadron, Osuzumibachi-class light-fighter x 2

Mint One fires twice on Requiem, expending its ammunition, but disarming the enemy.

My second turn: Antani-3 engages Shepard-4

Target locked!

Shooting

Missed!

Those hit the target, and Bob achieves a clean kill

disengaging and changing orbit

[War Eagle 1]

My second turn: Antani-3 engages Shepard-4

Those hit the target, and Bob achieves a clean kill

Thats an imposter. Everybody knows Bob Kerman died in the Battle of Pol and is currently buried at Pol in a cryo captule

[War Eagle 1]

Shepard 6 moved to position to engage the bogey. Once again using only Ion engines and rcs

One shot

One kill

All that remains is the cockpit. Pilot is also still alive

Shepard 6 then moved to a new position. With luck, this move could be the deciding factor of battle

[Spartwo]

Persistence

EDIT:

In order to secure victory one particular ship had to be crippled,but due to it being in a much higher class than the Broadsword precision shots would be needed.This meant firing by line of sight.

There were 2 targets on board the ship.1: Kraken drives which would give unlimited range 2: Docking port which would allow refueling.

It took all onboard ordinance but both objectives were completed...just.

The remains of Requiem were hitched on to Journeys end and towed to Gilly,It would then be used to refill the Dusk and Broadsword upon arrival.

Dusk donated 2 SMSs and Journeys end donated one as the Broadsword would be overstocked.

I believe this is the turning point(not going to call a winner yet though)

I always try to avoid using Bill, Bob, and Jeb. I prefer the random Kerbals. But once in a while I wind up with strange ones on the list such as "Kerman Kerman" and "Hitler Kerman". xD

[Spartwo]

I killed a lot of kerbals to get the cool names.I then removed most of them from the M.I.A list.Except Hitler,I want people to feel the need to de-orbit his ship.He(I) likes(Accidentaly) to hit abort at random points in orbit,so he was given the most disliked name other than maybe Lucifer

Edit: Derp I fixed it

[Spartwo]

Let me re-upload it.

EDIT:Oh,ok.

[daemonCaptrix]

How did all your ships wind up in orbit of Gilly?

[War Eagle 1]

Finally you two are battling #grabspopcorn

[daemonCaptrix]

Okay so... you did minimal damage to Suijin, then moved three ships in one turn.

I didn't think that was even legal.

I can work with it though. Mint Leader has K-Drive.

Move as many as you like,you can only attack one.This allows for sacrifices to bring out big guns earlier or tactical fleet movements.That's the one I'm worried about,you tore through the Requiems armor like it was melted butter.

EDIT:Or mint icecream.

EDITEDIT:One Movement I would like to try is staying in an orbit just behind a moon.

I did not know that.

You have just opened up a whole new can of options in my battle

[daemonCaptrix]

And Suijin still has rocket engines, AND a K-Drive.

Love this movie
