Attack on Clan Renelo OOC

[Jiang Winters]

Been asked to make a ruling on the latest set of events in the thread. Here it is:

The Fang has no shields during this action, as stated in the thread. Rom's escort fighters moved in behind the Fang and engaged, first with guns and then with concussion torpedoes. The torp lock, as I interpreted it, occurred simultaneously with the gunfire. Shadow only maneuvered after his master alarm sounded, but it would've taken at least a moment for the Fang's sensors to recognize that a lock was being acquired. In that time, the fighters would've had time to land hits with their guns. I'm ruling that sufficient damage was done to the Fang to cripple, but not destroy, the Fang's engines.

Rom's fighters appear to have fired their torps the moment they got a lock. However, as he expressly stated the use of torpedoes rather than maneuverable anti-ship missiles, I'm also ruling that Shadow's maneuver was sufficient to shake off the torpedoes and the pursuing fighters. But with her engines critically damaged, the Fang will be operating with much reduced maneuverability and speed. That being said, the Fang would've still had sufficient time to destroy one of the overshooting TIE's.

tl;dr - the Fang avoids death by concussion torpedoes, but its engines are heavily damaged leading to a reduction in speed and maneuverability.

Bump.

I should amend my previous note about what the outcome could be - I wouldn't necessarily rule auto-kills, but if you're at a point in the RP where there is no realistic escape for your character then we will definitely considering ruling that your characters die if we have to decide what the end of this thread is.

I would suggest people either make their edits or move on.

 

[Rom]

If Shadowwalker doesnt have his post edited by 6pm EST I'll just post using Jiangs ruling as the guide and go from there.

^Seems legit.

I'll post as soon as Rom does, unless I don't have time. :)

 

[ShadowWalker]

Okay I edited the post, I did not realize you wanted edits now, instead of me taking that into account the next time I posted, being that the only thing I really could do, was what I did in the edit.

 

[ShadowWalker]

And for the love of god quit spamming me messages about "Dude don't fight Veror" I already addressed that point, and don't need reminders. If I see another one, I will retcon that decision and fight him ON PURPOSE! Have I made myself clear?

 

[Arisalin]

Two of us did it once. That was before you stated your intent, and another did it once before and now seemingly after. The fact that they are concerned about their characters is seriously something that you can't control, and threatening to purposefully kill other allied PCs OOCly is really unnecessary. Especially since it would just be out of personal feelings.

Let's stay on topic for the OOC on the thread, and wait for Rom to post.

 

[ShadowWalker]

Correction. I have received two messages AFTER I posted here in the OOC board that I would be withdrawing from the dogfight to save the PCs. The fact remains, I openly stated I would be trying to save the PCs and yet despite this you still bug me over the issue. I understand concern but after I already made an open statement, here no less, bugging me about it will only piss me off as I have had to redirect Destro's original intentions in order to perform this action. If I were RPing him correctly, he wouldn't be doing this, he'd be all for going head to head with Veror.

 

[Noirceur]

Man, sorry, we weren't trying to upset you. We just care for our characters that's all.

It's still assuming they saw your post. If you have a problem with someone keep it private. That is all i'm saying. VM, PM, whatever. No reason to stink up the OOC with it.

Anyone know when Rom gets off work? (Assuming that's where he is.)

 

[Rom]

The engines are crippled mate, its not just some small engine exhausts...

Working on my post now.

ShadowWalker, I'm not satisfied with the edits you made to your post. Your engines just got chewed up by a pair of TIE's firing on your unshielded ship. You've been crippled, not mildly inconvenienced.

For the sake of expediency I'm not going to require you to edit your post again, but I'm going to be keeping a very close eye on this. Please be sure to play your craft in line with the damage it has received in your future posts.

 

[ShadowWalker]

Well, if Rom's post is what I believe it is, then I apologize to all members here. Your PCs will die. It will happen. The only consolation I offer, is that Veror, will also die. Rom has backed Destro and Draco into a corner and left him no choice. Also since I'm assuming Jiang Winters is expecting the engines to fail, we'll either die in space, doing nothing, or we die with taking the biggest most important thing there.

 

[ShadowWalker]

I'm going to go ahead and prepare a dead chars set for Draco/Destro/Blake.

Addendum:

FOR THE LOVE I GOD I BETTER NOT HEAR A BLASTED THING ABOUT THIS!

 

[Rom]

I'm curious as to how.

This wasnt a personal attack on anyone. This wasn't meant to unfairly target or grief anyone. The fact of the matter is that I said when this thread started that if you could fairly write yourself out of your deaths and escape, then you would. If you could not, then you would not escape. It was a good thread all around, I dont see the need to sully it with a poor OOC attitude.

 

[ShadowWalker]

Rom, remember the threads on the Battle for Lacrima? How Draco was at the near point of becoming a Force Scion? You force Insanity would have just redone exactly what Phiro, and the team he'd gathered had tried to undo. Destro's engines will fail (that much implied by Jiang Winters) and as such, he will do the one thing sensible to him anymore. He'll kill who ever is responsible. Destro, knowing full well with his readouts telling him so, will know that the engines will fail. Thus he'll kill them, activate the shields, and turn the ship around to come down on Vereor and if not blast him with his cannons, he'll ram him. And Draco, since now he's no longer himself, will turn on the last thing that hurt him, namely Vereor with the force attack, which means even if Vereor managed to avoid Destro ramming him, Draco will grab your fighter and pin it to the side of the ship so that when they all die, Vereor will as well.

Your engines are crippled. If they get shot again you're probably toast, but if you want to throw your lives away then by all means do so. There's better courses available to you.

And before you say that Draco isn't capable of such a move, in the training thread, "At the Crossroads look up" (http://www.thestarwarsrp.com/forum/showthread.php?49096-At-the-Crossroads-Look-Up-TRAINING/page3) he'd begun his training under a Sith Master. And this thread establishes what happened to him when he entered his near force Scion state "A Long Way Down". (http://www.thestarwarsrp.com/forum/showthread.php?49808-A-Long-Way-Down).
