Kampfgruppe Steiner II: Operation Eisenfaust

[Dies Irae]

It is not civil to ridicule ones spelling or grammar.

Entirely not intended as ridicule!

But it kinda set the whole tone for how I see the social general phenomenon...

[Sabre sworn]

Just a reminder that we must remember that tone and other such things, are harder to see in the written word.

And that one must use the Report to Moderator function, not a posted remark, when a transgression is presumed.

[Moonsword]

Exactly.  Let us handle things like that, please.  It's why we're paid our princely salaries.

[Sabre sworn]

My apologies.

[Col.Hengist]

ROFL! i took no offense. I have a new phone and I didn't look to see what it correctd for me.

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

Exactly.  Let us handle things like that, please.  It's why we're paid our princely salaries.

Wow, you guys are actually paid?  I thought there was some sort of law or rule among game companies against paying their employees.

Like a vow of poverty, but with dice.

[Moonsword]

Nope.  That was a sarcastic reference to the fact that we're all volunteers.

[Diamondshark]

I know that feel, bro...

So I have a question: do we have any information on Lyran naval tactics? I know that we are desperately low on dropships, but what do we know about how we fight if we have to engage someone in space?

[Weirdo]

Dunno about specific tactics, but your DropShip captains are sufficiently well-trained that they can take command of a WarShip at a moment's notice and beat the crap out of a Clan battleship. Davions you ain't, good sirs. 8)

There is a naval battle in Blood of the Isle.  For the sake of brevity, broadside it till dead.

[Diamondshark]

So basically it's normal Lyran tactics, but IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

[False Son]

To be fair, it was the Yggdrasil, a Mjolnir class vs a Falcon Night Lord class.  Something of a stalemate.

And yeah, the recovery of the LAS Invincible was a nice prize.

[Weirdo]

Stalemate? Yggy was damaged, but in a single salvo, blew out that Nightlord's tailpipe, completely removing it from the campaign for that system. and like I said, that was after the bridge had been shot out, requiring a DropShip CO to take command from an auxiliary CIC.

Do not **** with Space Steiners. They will **** your **** up.

[False Son]

I meant that both vessels were effectively neutralized from further supporting the battle on Syke.  Considering the match up, Lyrans did well for themselves.  All they had to do to make that bigger is better thing work was stop having gravity call their bluff.

[Ratwedge]

Do not **** with Space Steiners. They will **** your **** up.

Are these the same Steiners that had to be given one of their Mjolnir's back after they lost it?

[Weirdo]

YOU go head-to-head with a Mckenna and see how intact your navy is afterwards!

[Ratwedge]

So in reality the wording of the badass Steiners in space should be:

Do not **** with Space Steiners. They will **** your **** up. Unless its a McKenna, then its the Lyrans who will get ****** up.

;)



Plus everyone knows the Steiners sacrificed Warships for glorious Omnifighters.

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

At least we don't make a habit of crashing them into other warships or planets.

Challenge accepted!

Lemme see, who still has an McKenna I can send against the CGB Rasalhague.

Referring to the war ship battle - it would have been better to crush the Yggdrasil into the surface of Skye - and killing all those Jade Chickens - even when it mean to destroy the whole planet.

Death would have been mercy in the face of a occupation by those monsters.

That's been done, remember? Blake's Sword did NOT enjoy the process.

And sadly, I don't think there are any Mckennas left in the IS... :'(

I know the Scorpions have one, and there might be one or two left in the Homeworlds, but that's another story completely.

[Decoy]

Thus far, it seems like a Texas is the minimum cut down that needs to destroy a Leviathan. You're probably losing the ship anyway...but hey! No more Leviathans :D

[False Son]

But who's going to pull aggro from the Dragon's Breath launchers?

[Weirdo]

More often than not? Themselves.

[Tai Dai Cultist]

Actually all you need to do is put a few thousand clan-spec ER Large Lasers on a dropship.  It and the Levi will wipe each other out.. but you're only down a dropship ;)

[BigDuke66]

Looking at the 3145 map all we need to do is our own "Operation Rat" and send some Jade chicken to KFC.
And just like Davion had us to keep its back free of the Dracs, we now need someone that keeps the Wolfs off our backs, could we make a deal with Marik, Galatea & the Republic?
If so would our assets be enough to do it?
I guess not without the WiE and all mercs we could afford, there isn't any world in the clan zone that a merc unit is interested in like the Northwind Highlanders were with Northwind back in the 4th SW?

Lets face it all is set for a glorious comeback, that or we roll onto out back like a dead fish and that's it.

[Col.Hengist]

 Isn't that the one the WoB gave back to us, or were going to give back?

[Weirdo]

Nah, the one the WiE beat down, took for a while, and then gave back. Probably in better condition than when they found it.

[BigDuke66]

Has WiE a shipyard to do such repairs?
