[DiD] Revenge on Paranid. Pilots wanted!

Nathancros · Post by **Nathancros** » Wed, 5. Jan 11, 16:36

This is what happened folliwing from my post BLOODY PARANIDS

OK, im going to take revenge, i have bought myself another persues and all the ships i lost, but i would like pilots Smile name ur ship*aslong as its not kha'ak, xenon,split/yaki/pirate or paranid* and weapons*u may have to say where to buy them from* my money is only 15mill so u better pick u soon!
Also ill put up a list of the spare ships i Do have waiting to be used, till someone takes the ship and names it, it wont be used!
* i have borrowed this next bit from Nuke Slug*hope you dont mind*

1. Preferred ship. You'd probably want to be keeping them at least attainable. I'm only buying Teladi/boron/argon/Otas ships and secondhands so anything else will have to be begged/borrowed/found/stolen.
2. Shipname
3. Preferred weapon loadout, Main/Turrets. Being all professional piratical types naturally you will all lose the use of PBG, cause i hate the things
4. Preferred missile loadout and launch percentage. Pick wisely or blow yourselves up.
5. Preferred role. Interceptor,escort,bomber,etc.

Also will post written reports of the fight before during and after hopefully so u can see if u survived XD
WARNING, i am an untried and untested fleet commander, good chance of dying a very explodey death, also i will ask for help on what to build and where to attack blah blah blah XD

List of untaken ships*will update as much as possible*
1X Pericles M4
1X Elite M4
1X Heavy Dragon M6*under Police Scrutiny*, Damaged, to be recovered, First in, First served cause i wont be getting anymore Split ships for awhile i think.
1X Discoverer M4 *Dont know if anyone would want to fly one of theese but is not worth selling so am going to keep incase someone would like to pilot it for me*

Ok just for the hell of it im going to add a Weapons list, i Hoard all the weapons i get my hands on so when u "volunteer" u can choose from waht i have instock
200+ x IRE's
30x PAC''s
4x FBL's
1x Ion D
2x Gauss Cannons*no ammo*
1x CIG
4x PRG
2x PBE
Wasp missiles*of a rather fluctuting number*

Kirlack · Post by **Kirlack** » Thu, 6. Jan 11, 00:25

Role call?

Reporting for duty sir!

Preference: Yaki Tenjin, minimum 50mj shielding, 4x PBE + 4x PAC + 1x PBG (drones) in the main and 2x PAC in the side turrets for missile defence. Missile loadout: 20x Mosquito for missile defence, 20x Wasp for light fighter defence. If your feeling super generous you could throw in a group of Typhoons :-p

Ship name: Pocket Aces (What, I'm a poker player :-p )

Prefered Role: Front line combat, any mission, any target (although if I'm to take on a capital Mk 1 Turbo booster please!)

Good luck with th recruitment

Nathancros · Post by **Nathancros** » Thu, 6. Jan 11, 02:25

Yes it is a roll call of such XD im doing this for mutiple reasons
1. Cause people usually fly ships that are good*for a certain task*
2. i need to respect each ship instead of sending them to die for no real reason XD, and u suuure u want
3. adds a flair to the game, hell i might even turn it into a akind of DiD*but mostly based on the combat, and maybe my first forays in to captures and proper space complex's
OK Private Kirlack Welcome to Wings Things! I hope ur stay is brief and Painful, cause it wont be anything else with me commanding!
If i can get my hands on the Tenjin*What is it? Lol what rating? and where would i get it from?* ill get you it

, tho where the hell do i get Pulsed beam emitters from? XD
oh and are u sure when ur guy fires typhoons*if i get some* that he wont blow himself up when he fires them? oh and what missile fire probability do u want?
if i cant find the Tenjin. anything else u would prefer? XD

Oh and so u ladies know, im looking mostly for fighter pilots for now.
EDIT, and to me fighter pilots are M3-M5 plus M8's*tho ive never used theese and they seem expensive*

EDIT2 Unfortunatly kirklak..... i managed to procure u a few typhoons and about 170 wasp missiles.. all free as i dont buy wasps and all the fabs had no typhoons

all i need is a ship to either buy u or procure 2ndhand

Nathancros · Post by **Nathancros** » Thu, 6. Jan 11, 03:08

OK,

I find myself in need of tractor beams, and as in a previous thread i posted ive been told only the paranid make tractor beams, So im in Deep Argnu droppings.... Well to Alleviate this problem im going to perform a raid*in just my M6 Heavy Centaur and figher squad* on Third Reich*my name for Third Redemtion* as it has a tractor beam Fab there, hoping to find a transport that has it in freight from there. wish me luck mates!

Nathancros · Post by **Nathancros** » Thu, 6. Jan 11, 06:36

Well that plan went to hell very quickly....
Jumped into Third Reich, started attacking the Tractor Fab with me and my squads*blue squadron, heavy fighter M3*perseus sentinel and Nova Sentinel* and Green Squad M4's *solano and Pericles*.
Halfway through Gutbusting its shields a Ares Missile frigate comes through the gate, while i leave my guys to keep bombing the tractor fab to hell i saunter up to scan the ares which is already hostile to me, after dodging*by way of shooting the damn things down* quite a few hammer heavy missiles i see it has an assload of flails and hammer missiles, and all theese fancy gadgets to stop a pissed off raider like me from a good chance at winning a boarding attempt, so i have to hurry to pack my fighters back into their boxes inside my TM and jump out as i stay to bomb the fab, getting right up close and personal with it keeping myself on the opposite side of it to the Ares, scraping the paint of my ship a bit squeezing a M6 into spaces an m5 shouldnt go. finally after it destructs i check my sec map and... no tractor beams.. and it was full of them when i was destroying it....

Looks like it didnt want to drop them for me this time :/
Meanie...

Ok, ive decided i need a TL, my Storage TM is getting full and i am also using it for a carrier, ive been scouting out local sectors, ally and enemy.. lost one of my nova's to a paranid M7M*ironically it was one i attempted to board, and the one who irritated me in Third Reich. lets make up a list of things i need done
1. locate and acquire a TL
2. Locate and Acquire a M7M
3. get tractor beam to move my silicon mine out from the asteroid belt(in The Unknown sector east of Montalar)*Ive lost a bout 4 merchant ships because of this*

now Boarding is a new thing to me, ive only attempted it once and tat was on the M7M ares, i had actually got troops on it a few times*this is where i deviate from true DiD's, my best troops. each one good at something, tho their fighting rating is only 2-1's. they got insde the ares a few times, only to be slaughtered a few seconds later, the ares has NO marines in there, NO countermeasures, so ill be damned to how it kills them... maybe the ships are designed so u have to crawl on ur knees over lava -_-

Accessing secure Argon info-net..........

Cost: ~6 million credits
--------------------------------------------

PBE- Pulsed Beam Emitter: A Split designed laser with very short range, highly useful for quickly stripping a tartgets shields.

Available Locations: Split controlled space
Cost: ~ 200k Credits

Secure info-net closed.

---------------------------------------------

So, I hope that answers your questions

As for missile probability, a base 20% should be more than enough, and remember, the Typhoons are optional :-p

On the offchance that you can't afford/procure a Tenjin I will settle for a Solano with a full PRG loadout

, but don't forget that Mk1 Turbo Booster!

Nathancros · Post by **Nathancros** » Fri, 7. Jan 11, 06:33

hmm. a wierd irony that i actually HAVE a Solano on me already!, i shall put in full PRG for u but i wont add the typhonns*after all if it gets hit while firing it will be erased from existance!* Will load it with Wasps for you

Kirlack u shall now lead Green Squad*m4 Squad i beleive* XD good luck, and may u die a short and brutal death.
*Green Squad Consists of.

Tho the pericles has now had its name changed to 3 of a kind
P.S thank you for the hack on the Argon Info-net for me XD i may need ur assistance in the future!
Am still looking for more pilots! will do what i can to give u the ships u want, but my money is down to 1 mill somehow

Kirlack · Post by **Kirlack** » Fri, 7. Jan 11, 18:03

Excellent, I think I can fill most roles from the Solano cockpit

Might I reccomend shield suppresion for boarding operations?

I think Green Wing would fill that role nicely.

Those hacks on the Argon info-net don't come cheap, you're lucky at least one of your pilots has a little capital of his own, I won't even need payment for a month or so! And with your own cash reserves so low I think it's high time for a spot of pirating. Lets round up some more fleet!

Nathancros · Post by **Nathancros** » Fri, 7. Jan 11, 20:52

haha thank you kirlack, i shall need the help as ive never done boarding*properly* before, so shield suppresion? would that and fightership interception be a good role for your squardron?

OK ive decided that i need money, Fast. there a few ways i could
I could.
1. go back to split end and do some paranid hunting.
2. attempt a costly boarding op which will tear into my money as i need ot train my soldiers.
3. do the occasional mission.
4. rain hell upon the galaxy *and hope some fellows agree to leave their ships*

i think ill mix 1 and 4 together while i occasionly do 3 and get the soldeirs ready for 2.

Well, Time for green Wing in Aces High to show me what they can do... we are going for split end

Deeparth · Post by **Deeparth** » Fri, 7. Jan 11, 20:57

Deeparth reporting for duty. Im also known as Hellraiser but u can call me hell.
1. Ill take that fully kitted Nova Raider. But, if u get a Hyperion, id love it. If u visit the Terrans, please buy the Spitfyre, if u cap a L pr LX well u know who ur want to give it to. Anyway Ill take whatever comes first, the Hyperion, the Spitfyre or the Xenon ship. So, yeah ill take the Nova Raider for now. Dont forget the afterburner.
2. Phoenix
3. Id like to get my mains of the Nova full of EBC but for now. Ill take all the HEPTs and the rest as PACs. For the turret ill take the IRE.
4. Correct proportions of Belugas, Cyclones and wasps. 20%(can be changed by the author as sees fit)
5.Interceptor

Nathancros · Post by **Nathancros** » Sat, 8. Jan 11, 01:05

Righto Welcome aboard!, The nova is yours

You will be in the heavy squad with the nova*When i get the heavy squad up and running*, i have managed procured u a full loadout of hepts but if u want ill put a PRG on the rear turret,*if u want* and ill get u mostly cyclones and wasps for now.

Today was a wierd day for me. was collecting and outfitting weapons, shields and upgrades to ships ready for war, and i decided to raid the paranid at danna's chance*as it seems to be quite a lucrative trading lane for them*, knocked out a few, and also a pair of pirate elites, in with both pilots bailed, so now i have 2 elites waiting to be repaired at outfitted, and also i got a mission from a yaki ship, and seeing as my green squardron pilot wanted a yaki ship i decided to start getting in their goodbooks, the mission was to take out a convoy in Split end, and bout 200k per ship.. DONE, i was worried that it migh tof had to be argon or boron or some of the other few races that hate me. but no. IT WAS PARANID!. now dancing around my command chair i spray them with HEPTS and CIG's*I LOVE THEESE THINGS*. and they turn into cute little bits of debris, nothing worth salvaging
Although as i was flying thru the jumpgates from danna's chance to split end, at brennans triumph i come thru the gate... to almost become a smear on the bow of a GIANT paranid M2!, turning my pants brown i duck under and run like a cat with its tail on fire, i get shot at by it a few times but it didnt manage to get through my shields..

All in all. a wierd day.

Kirlack · Post by **Kirlack** » Sat, 8. Jan 11, 01:29

I've got a potential money spinner in mind:

Take the functioning fleet into the Brennans Triumph - Hatikvahs Faith run and look out for Weapon Dealers/Military Supply Transporters. Get in close enough for a scan and look out for any high profile targets, those carrying costly missiles or high power shields/lasers. A single Proton Pulse Cannon can sell for ~800k and the local Teladi EQD over in Company Pride will buy almost snything.

And yes, shield suppression in boarding ops would make a nice "backing" role but if Green wing are to be interceptors we'll need some quicker ships boss

Nathancros · Post by **Nathancros** » Sat, 8. Jan 11, 02:11

i have just been given an idea by my Green squadron leader, that we should raid the Paranid Military supply lines through danna's chance to split end. now i have considered this many times and usually when i get it all set up to do it a large paranid ship comes into the sector in question and cuts my plans back again, but with the money situation getting rather desperate i pack Green Squad into their crates and jump into danna's chance to attack the godbotherers transports. will give u an after action report after!

Vim Razz · Post by **Vim Razz** » Sun, 9. Jan 11, 00:11

Lookin fer work if you're hiring.

Preffered ship: One of those Elites would be fine, named "Mouser III". 6x PAC up front, 1x IRE in the turret. I'm particularly fond of dogfighting, but wont shy away from anything else that needs doing. Dont know much about missile % values, but I'll jump on the bandwagon and way Wasps at 20% as avaliable.

MickastheGreat · Post by **MickastheGreat** » Sun, 9. Jan 11, 09:56

Looking for work under your esteemed self (i'm such a kiss ass)

I would like to have a Mamba Raider under the name Bouncing Betty

with 4 IREs and 4 PACs on the front with 1 PAC for rear turret, and since u have an over abundance of wasps i might as well take a few of them for good measure

Just let me at what needs doing, and i know you wont be disappointed sir

Kirlack · Post by **Kirlack** » Sun, 9. Jan 11, 11:08

Oooh, a Mamba Raider might make a nice addition to Green Squadron boss, you might wanna recruit this one

When're we hitting those supply lines?

Nathancros · Post by **Nathancros** » Sun, 9. Jan 11, 17:52

By xaars smelly armpits.....
This paranid M2 has been stalking me throughout the raids... i almost crashed into it earlier before i collected those elites.. now its either hunting me or patrolling between dannas chance and nop memorial... just as Me and Green Squad had picked a juicy target with a nice cargo, the M2 appears in sector with its nice annoying escorts... Had to abandon this raid for now, tho green squad got a new good kills, but not much cargo,
http://img843.imageshack.us/i/imsickofthis.jpg/

the escorts arnt appearing yet.
also it seems when im attacking the freighters i say to GIVE UP CARGO, so they toss out a few energy cells and keep going.. this guy had LASERTOWERS and navigation relay sattalites and he tosses out a measly 10 e celss no matter how many times i tell him to give up his cargo... so i RAMMED him into chunks of space garbage for the spaceflies to feed on. maybe the next guy will listen -_-

as i was fuming in the Military base of aladna hill *punching up a few other pilots* two people came up to me offering their services, unfortunatly they have no ship, tho i will kit them out with what i can, when i can

..

am going for the next raid on nop mem soon, green squadron has been blooded, now they need to be covered in it..

oh btw still looking for pilots tho could take quite awhile to kit u guys out.. as money is down to the single thousnds.

Nathancros · Post by **Nathancros** » Sun, 9. Jan 11, 20:03

ok i think for now, nop memorial is a bust, tho ive made about a mill in cash doin a few missions in aladna hill, ive had D'ami's Roost pick up the new Mouser III but i dont know what squad to put him in, he isnt quite as fast as the solano's so im confused on what to do, am going to send him back to aladna hill to get him outfitted..
starting to run out of Wasp's, Green Squadron seems to like having an open season on ANYTHING with them XD while teh fireworks look pretty. they will run out soon.

Choices,Choices.

Also am thinking of buying a few Kestrels and form a VERY fast interceptor Squadron to supplement Green Squardron.
*any willing victims.. i mean pilots to fly this new squad if i get it then speak up!*
