[BSE] Food is an issue, Pinkie Pie plays Eclair Emergency.

[WylieCIDER CIDER CIDER]

##Play 1, because Destiny can be unkind. I don't like unkind.

[Val HelmetheadDamn it, fire hose doesn't work that way!]

##play 1 Just because.

[HyliusWhat? Heroes are cool too.]

##play 1 Just in case.

[ToastGhostThe smuggest damn horse.]

How did I not even notice these doubleposts?

[ClankersGonnaClankKeep on clanking.]

Don't have much to do here, but I guess playing one of these Quorum cards is slightly better than playing Consolidate Power.

##Play Assign Chief of Staff, targeting Cadance

[ToastGhostThe smuggest damn horse.]

ASSIGN CHIEF OF STAFF

Action: Draw 2 Politics Cards and give this card to any other player. Keep this card in play. Before cards are added to a skill check, this player may discard this card to make all Politics Cards count as positive strength.

Cadence takes up her duties as Chief of Staff from the brig! DT & SS draw 2 POL!

AND THAT'S ALL THAT HAPPENED

[HyliusWhat? Heroes are cool too.]

##play 0

Ain't got nothing.

[W.T. FitsSpoilers, you say? Well, in that case, I suppose I should avert my eyes.]

##play 1, low unfortunately. My last draw was not a good one in terms of card strength.

[WylieCIDER CIDER CIDER]

##Play 0 because I have 1 card on me and it's not useful here.

Clankers, you're gonna have to bail me out here. Having me in sickbay would be pretty much terrible at this point.

[Val HelmetheadDamn it, fire hose doesn't work that way!]

never fear! I'm here to help with security!

##play 1

[ClankersGonnaClankKeep on clanking.]

Wait - isn't this Cadance's turn? We shouldn't be having a crisis.

[ToastGhostThe smuggest damn horse.]

Wait - isn't this Cadance's turn? We shouldn't be having a crisis.

Give me a sec...

[W.T. FitsSpoilers, you say? Well, in that case, I suppose I should avert my eyes.]

Don't worry, ToastGhost. I'm pretty sure everyone who's run a game on here has made that mistake at least once.

[ToastGhostThe smuggest damn horse.]

Toasty sure didn't screw anything up, that's for sure!

I have less LEA than you might think. I'll throw in a bit more if ToastGhost will permit it, but then I'm pretty much useless without a Politics check.

Now, if I were you, I'd be doing something about the swarms and swarms of raiders.

[WylieCIDER CIDER CIDER]

where button = FIRE MAH LAZERS

I need a but for Fluts. Maybe I'll work one up.

Seriously- I have several things I could do, all of which seem to fall squarely into the "NOT ENOUGH" category.

I could launch vipers, but then I can't shoot at anything.
I could shoot at things, but then I couldn't launch vipers.
I could XO the CMC, but then I couldn't do any of the above.

Ugh.

I'm open to suggestions here.

[HyliusWhat? Heroes are cool too.]

I believe the biggest threat are those heavies in Charlie, yes? Since they're the closest to obliterating our civvies. XO'ing me I could fire the cannons at'em, but other than that I'm not much use. We still have Zecora and Discord to worry about too, but these contacts are a far greater threat. I hope.

[Val HelmetheadDamn it, fire hose doesn't work that way!]

Heavies don't go after civilians.

You know what blows stuff up? Main Batteries. You should shoot them with the Main Batteries.

[HyliusWhat? Heroes are cool too.]

Ah, do they not? This is why I didn't pick a primary pilot. I'm still a bit out of the loop on all that stuff.

[W.T. FitsSpoilers, you say? Well, in that case, I suppose I should avert my eyes.]

Here's a breakdown of how the enemy ships work:

Raiders
1. Raiders will fire at any Vipers in their space area. If there's a mix of piloted and unmanned Vipers, they'll shoot at unmanned Vipers first.
2. If there are no Vipers in their space area, they'll destroy Civilian Ships in their space area.
3. If there are no Civilians in their space area, but there are Civilians on the board, then they'll move towards the Civilians.
4. If there are no Civilians at all, they'll shoot at Equestria.

Heavy Raiders
Heavy Raiders will move towards Echo or Foxtrot and ignore everything else going on around them. If they reach Echo or Foxtrot and then activate again, they'll unload a Centurion which starts moving along the Boarding Party track each time Heavy Raiders activate. If the Centurion reaches the end of the Boarding Party track, the Ponylons win.

Basestars
Basestars will either launch Raiders or shoot at Equestria. They ignore Vipers and Civilians.

[ClankersGonnaClankKeep on clanking.]

Heavies don't go after civilians.

You know what blows stuff up? Main Batteries. You should shoot them with the Main Batteries.

I second this.
(A pity we don't have Exodus-style Nukes, we could clear these guys no problem)

[WylieCIDER CIDER CIDER]

If I go activate Main Batteries, where should I target? Is it basically a crapshoot? (All the raiders are two spaces from Civ ships currently, so there's no distance advantage there.) I could shoot at the space with 7, I suppose, to get the most bang/buck, but with a good roll I'm taking out four raiders either way.

Thinking about it a bit more, I've got all my vipers between Alpha and Echo. The civvies in Delta are basically nekkid. I'm going to need to get rid of the Bravo raiders first.

##Move to Main Batteries, activate Main Batteries to shoot at Bravo

discard coming via pm

[W.T. FitsSpoilers, you say? Well, in that case, I suppose I should avert my eyes.]

Actually, discards are public knowledge, so you can post what you're discarding in the thread when you move.

[ToastGhostThe smuggest damn horse.]

##Discard POL-1 Consolidate Power to move to Main Batteries

Princess Fluttershy opens fire on the Raiders in Bravo! Pew-pew!

1d8 = 4, 2 Raiders down!

"Nice shooting Admiral Fluttershy!"

"Oh yeah, the ponylons have hailed our ship. They say they want to broker peace, but I think it's a trap!

Code: Select all
