Um. My missle swarms? Going to ignore them, or summat?

I didn't know you launched missiles.

*Mystrunner's missiles are intercepted by Dovin Basels*

*The 12000 missiles fire by Rimmer are intercepted by Dovin Basels, plasma cannon and volcano cannon fire, some make it through and dent the hull. B3 redoubles its efforts to destroy the Asgard, firing its cannons even faster and sending yet more Grutchins at the ship's shields.*

*The fighters swoop past the enemy fighters, projecting black holes into the cockpits, killing or maiming the pilots. The Fighters swoop down on the Asgard firing all their cannons at its missile tubes, hoping to penetrate into the magazine.*

*B2 keeps now stops shooting at White Star 9 and starts firing at Rimmer's ship. B4 keeps shooting at the Divine Light.*

Just a few questions... how big are the capitol ships? And how big are their hangers?

*The Divine Light fires all of its guns at B4. Trying to confuse and tire the Dovin Basels.*

[bridge] Laser battery, hook up with the ion battery and concentrate all fire on B2!
*The boarding shuttles thick hull can withstand almost anything and therefore keeps moving closer and closer B2*

The stated length of the Divine Light is 1 mile or 1.6 kilometers. The Yuuzhan Vong battle ships present here are 4 miles long or 6.4 kilometers long. Each Yuuzhan Vong ship has launched all of its 4 wings of fighters for a grand total of 1152 fighters. All the fighters are being guided by a Yamosk or War Co-ordinator, which greatly increases their speed, manuverability, defensive reactiveness, firing speed, and accuracy. They are also much more clever. Why?

He is correct in those stats.

*B2 fires full slavos at the boarding ship and rushes as many warriors to the area that might be landed on as it can.*

*B4 contiues firing and defending with no major damaged inflicted.*

*B3 keeps shooting at the Asgard while the 1152 fighters keep swarming and shooting.*

Just needed a bit of room to land.

*Mystrunner spins the Excalibur about, and changes to fighter mode. He flips a few switches, examines instrument readouts, and then, with deliberate care, flips up a glass lid and pushes the button underneath. The lights on the ships nearby dim for a moment, effected by the large surge of electrical power as the fold drive goes online.*

Preparing to fold in five- four- three- two-

*The BCS's docks with B2 and begins releasing troops into by the newly drilled hole in their hull*
[bridge to B2] If you shoot them away you'r ship will collapse from within!
[bridge] How many troops have boarded the B2?
[main hangar] 340 000 sir, round about as many as the enemy warriors but more on the way!
[bridge] keep up the barrage, the enemy defences are weakening!
[fleet] keep it up everybody!

*The Excalibur begins to flicker and glow.*

One- Zero. Initiating fold!

*Suddenly, the Excalibur vanishes completly. Inside the B4's main hanger, the doors burst into the ship as the Excalibur emerges from the spatial rift, the presence of its 47,000 kg. bulk increases the air pressure of the sealed room dramatically. It swiches to soldier mode, and looks about.*

Fold complete.

Even organic vessels have stabilisers, re: inner ear.

Okay then! *The X then reprograms the ships language centre to refer as the Yuuzhan stabilisers as the inner ear/motion centre of the brain, then targets these.*

in reference to an earlier conversation where I "couldn't" attack the B3's stabilisers.

good idea

Are you going to go for them too? Lets make it as helpless as I was.

*The X flies erratically, one might say upredictably, yet always firing five energy bolts at a time at the B3*

its your ship......

Are you back here? I thought you left. Well then, lets go!
Oh and how was the ?

ok do you want some?

I'm okay thanks. Look, I installed a seat so you don't have to stand.
You aren't spying on ME are you? Because if you are then there is absolutely nothing you can find out about me, apart from my personal habits and I like cheese. You don't have to stay here, how's your ship doing? Is it safe without you?
