ooc:un chadd our fleets haven't met yet. And you will get losses. When they meet. And how many coralskippers/rimskippers do you have? Oh yah. I suggest you read the beginning of Agents of Chaos 1 Hero's Trial. The book will show you just how not invincible you vong are.
ic:As the 2nd Fleet passed over the front wave of skips a volley of fire blasted into them. Whether it was just too much fire or the basal couldn't handle that much fire and still travel by the time that they got to the fighters and capital ships behind them they were short a good couple hundred fighters. There the Fighters formed up with squadrons of TIE Defenders and other fighters going after partial squadrons of vong coral and Rim Skippers. The 12 Corellian Gunships and other Capital ships that had stayed behind on fighter duty mainly targeted the Rim Skippers where most of the fighter losses were being suffered. The Fleet battle wasn't going as well. They were getting hits but themajority of their shots got absorbed. Jump Bump looked out and saw 1 volley of fire be absorbed by a dovin basal. They had got to be tiring but by then they would have suffered a few losses. Suddenly 2 strategies clicked into his mind. Quickly he turned towards his tactical officer and his communications officer.
"Order all guns to shoot where the plasma shots are coming from. If they try to shield those spots they will absorb their own shots also. Transmit this strategy to all ships but tell them not to use it until I give the word And have Phidias and Duchamp move up and fire a salvo at the side of the Light Cruiser we're not assaulting." said Jump Bump
"Yes Sir"
"Yes Sir"
"Sir Phidias and Duchamp report that 50% of the salvo got through. The Light Cruiser is now listing badly. It appears that the vong ships are using most of their dovin basals that should be shielding on that side to shield from our attack." said the Communication officer
"Good tell them to do the same with the Other Capital Ships."
"Know prepare to use the new strategy. On my mark. 3, 2, 1 mark." said Jump Bump
Suddenly all the turbolaser batteries moved from their earlier targets and targeted the plasma cannons that were blasting away at his ship. with a great big roar most of them fired at the same time blasting a Huge chunk of Yorik Coral out of the ship. The Phidias and the Duchamp by then had moved on to the rest of ther Light cruisers and reported similar results. As Jump Bump regarded the scene in front of him he could tell that the Light Cruiser was in bad shape. Another volley would do it. He had also heard that this was a smilar predicament with the rest of the Light Cruisers.
"Tell All ships to fire a volleyon my mark. 3, 2, 1 ........
