Last thread >>47808272
General discussion thread in lieu of Genie's return.
We have finished reconstructing our bases in our new mountain home and are trying to figure out ways to expand ourselves and make additional allies in the region, while advancing our technology and military.

Reminder we have an incoming crit...for looking for promising corporate tech ruins and training in underground warfare. This should be fun.

As for what we can specialize in, let's take a look at what we have. Many psi personnel and a little psi material, large amounts of materials, great artillery, the tech for shields, plasma, and power armor, also we've been trying to get into tanks.
We of course have JAL who can do just about anything; his specialties include fusion and research compatibility in metal/meat. Could his Hakz specialty be useful in espionage? We have Biggy and the spec ops he trained, we should put them to use.
A lot of the stuff JAL makes is likely to be horrifying, but could we make, like, a plant that grows metal or something? What if we got plants with grenades for fruit, or plants that grow bullets? It'd be best if we could grow something hard to get like materials, but I'm just spitballing here.
>>47839472
Holy fuck, what's with these dice and that action.
>>47839472
>Double nat100
WE SHALL RULE THE UNDERGROUND
>>47839472
I think we should focus more on upgrading our artillery, just have other forces take the brunt of the losses for us, while we support them with artillery and spec ops units.
We could also potentially focus on getting some better base defenses, so if we lose all of JAL's cannon fodder, we won't be mobbed with our specialty units.
>>47839568
That's my belief as well, yet even artillery has an ultimate limit. We have made great strides in heavy vehicular research.
There's two things we need to handle at all times: Economy and Military, because they go hand in hand.
If we strengthen the Economy, make supplies, sell things people want, we can get allies, technology, equipment, and military personell.
Regarding the Military, yes that is our strategy. The use of allies and other forces and supporting them instead through long range artillery.
--
Regarding PSION's, I'm hoping to integrate more psions into communications and pilot work as both artillery crews and tankers.
For example, a project I want to work on is POINT.
The "Psionic Overwatch Integrated-Network Targeting" or POINT is meant incorporate psionic tank pilots in telepathic communication over long distances.
With such a system, any psy sensitive person or tank that engages or spots an enemy can instantly and telepathically transmit usable targeting info and data to any other MBT-01 within artillery range. Information on enemy type, altitude, longitude, latitude, and movement of the target will be transmitted in live time directly into both the mind and targeting computers of the allied tanks.
Automatically our pilots and tanks target the hostile and fire upon it from range, using the info given to select the type of shell the angles of fire. In addition they will be able to use their psionic powers to directly oversee and guide a shell as it falls for even more accuracy when needed, or simply fire as fast as possible if firepower is required.
All of this reduces precious time wasted having to transmit data to a central artillery command, calculation, and then retransmitting that data back to the artillery unit in question. It also means that any enemy in range of one tank will be in range of the other tanks in an area even without a direct line of sight.
Rolled 61 (1d100)
>>47839568
I was talking about stuff we can sell, not combat doctrine. Also our artillery is already just below Old World, not sure how we can upgrade it other than just building more of it.
We do need better defences though.
>>47839568
>>47839472
I do think though that turning JAL's Brood and the KING into a lean mean underground fighting machine is the perfect complement to our forces.
Our war strategy will probably resemble a lot of Trench Warfare. Having heavy Tanks move up and then buckle down as Engineers build field defenses and lay down field guns to hold the enemy at bay while our artillery shreks them.
But when the enemy does happen to close in, and our trenches come under attack, instead of our forecs being caught with our pants down we'll have giant metallic sandworms and beasts burst from the lines to sally forth and attack!
>>47839685
Yes, alas BANE handled our defenses previously.
Again, I believe this is where JAL and the Brood may suffice.
Thankfully we aren't completely without defenses since our SAMFAP bases do include both medium and short range guns.
Later down the line I'm going to propose specialized defensive works vehicles to aid our exoskeleton engineers in constructing rapid defenses and trenches.
>>47839675
>the gun in the city is shooting through two windows
>>47839675
>>47839685
Are railguns in this setting? If so, we could work on those.
Also, the WWI tactic of creeping barrage would work well with heavy tanks and the sort. (You fire artillery at an area, move artillery 100 meters forward, troops move into area that was just shelled to wipe up the survivors)
>>47839771
RAGE turrets are capable of near 90* elevation as well as rapid 360* rotation, allowing it to track Aircraft with the same capabilities as a SPAAG as well as the firepower of an SPG/Heavy Flak Gun at a rate of up to 120 RPM.
>>47839791
>Creeping Barrage
This is where I want the FURY to be invented.
Even with our SAMFAP's and RAGE turrets, conventional tube artillery still has its limitations regarding how much of an area it can cover with firepower
---
The Fast Unloading Rocket Yield system, or FURY.
Based off the legendary Katyusha design.
https://youtu.be/WGTXH6jGVqk?t=289 4:50
There are some key differences between Rockets and Shells.
Shells are heavier, and are able to carry a heavier payload and have more penetration power, but they also have massive recoil that requires a gun capable of handling it. Meanwhile, Rocket have very little recoil comparatively, meaning the weapons system can focus less on recoil and containing system, is a lot more simplistic, and it can fire more rockets in a faster amount of time than the tube artillery.
The FURY capitalizes on this, and is essentially an up-jumped heavy rocket battery of multiple tiered rocket racks that are self-loading. Where as the RAGE is tied to only one SAMFAP, the FURY will likely be able to support the firing of several SAMFAP dispensers, perhaps even one for every single rocket tube.
The primary and main goal is to develop a rocket system that alone is capable of literally saturating entire miles of ground in firepower. A weapon meant to surpass our artillery in terms of being able to layer the earth with incendiary or plasma or explosives, and to create an endless, sustained, and if need be continual blanket of fire across the ground such as a hell on earth where from horizon to horizon is on fire. Not a wall, but a field of fire.
Due to the nature of it including multiple expensive SAMFAP's, this will necessarily be something to be mounted on a Behemoth or as a Base Weapon behind thick armor.
---
Historically speaking Rocket Atillery was good for morale. Friendly troops felt emboldened to attack an area that was barraged by rockets, while enemy troops were demoralized
>>47839818
Just saying, that's impressive accuracy.
>>47839986
At long range it should be at least as accurate as a battery of flak guns
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP_-WUMi-nw
>>47840075
>>47839986
In time, we will train our Psions how to guide their shells via telekinesis to the target as well.

>>47839685
You guys act as if we can use JAL's brood openly with our forces without getting the shit smacked out of us for working with brood.
We can't.
Our cannon fodder needs to be something else, whether it's drones, bots, allies, conscripts, automated tanks, or whatever. We need cannon fodder and we need to be able to produce a useable amount ourselves.
>>47840505
So JAL's brood being used in conjunction with our elite forces (if his brood even needs support) to overtake underground installations is fine, but anywhere that it might be SEEN that we're working with brood we can't cooperate.Which doesn't totally mean we can't use his forces just we have to be clever about it
Also I think we ought to spend a few turns after we get our water situation settled to manufacture stockpiles of a variety of specialized ammunition types (basically of every kind of advanced ammo we can produce). I'm pretty sure our infantry are just using standard slugs, and that's a shame for people as rich as us. Also I don't know if the SAMFAPs flash-manufacturing applies to specialized ammo types.
>>47840505
>>47840590
Also might I add that while our artillery is our strongpoint and is excellent and great and all we really ought to make at least a few different variants of tank. I'm thinking primarily of our good friend Jackal's suggestion of Flak Tanks and Missile Tanks (preferably missile pod tanks in our case). If our RAGE turrets allow for the tanks to act as Flak tanks in addition to artillery then excellent we've already got that covered.
What type of fusion reactor do we have?
>>47840505
JAL and his lot will be relegated to underground for select missions only.
Our cannon fodder will likely be drones and our own masses of infantry prerefably with exoskeletons. We'll support our infantry with a wide assortment of defensive technologies, shields, instant trenches, and engineering vehicles.
Jacky suggested that if we make heavy tanks but don't want to support them with light tanks-medium tanks (since they are so vulnerable) just to make drones.
Drones are definitely going to be it because both Ginny/JAL has Robot specialty (JAL has been shown to be able to help make normal bots) and Pilot Hero's vehicle is a Drone Hub Scrapper.
>>47840656
>If our RAGE turrets allow for the tanks to act as Flak tanks in addition to artillery then excellent we've already got that covered.
They do.
They cover Artillery Duty, Low-Mid AA duty, and of course all tanks can do Anti Infantry.
We'll develop FURY turrets for our tanks as well.
>>47840957
Sounds great. We should probably have regular sized tanks in addition to our biggies and drones though. Also we should get to work on heavy weapons systems if our infantry are going to have exo-suits.
>>47840957
>>47841157
We should also prioritize befriending the Wasted Warband's AI if we're going to make drones though.
>>47841157
If we make regular sized tanks, let them be drone tanks. I'd want our people to be as protected as possible.
>>47841184
JAL is capable of drone control too.
>>47841219
Yeah, I know but he's got his brood to manage. I was also thinking more along the lines of drone designs and autonomous control that we could pick up from an AI that actually likes to use machines.

GENIE, I SUMMON THEE FOR UPDATES AND CRITS
Rolled 68 (1d100)
>>47836684
Technically ghouls are actually a subset of the monster faction being a group of possibly intelligent monsters. They get along reasonably well with mutants and bandits. Probably due to their usually former human origins.
Ghouls get along infamously poorly with zombies.
Depraved are ordinary factions who aren't bandits but start acting so evil they become considered as such. Technically I haven't shown much of them outside Rogue elements.
An example of the Depraved is the Exterminators the exact opposite of paladins.
Ravagers are an elite bandit unit of the Looter path. They are absurdly good at looting to the point where NOTHING is left when they come through. They even loot a bunker bolts and solid door included.
Reavers while considered bandits aren't actually a bandit faction. All they are is a solo bandit who is so bad ass and evil they survived going solo. Often forced out by other bandits because even they couldn't stand them but they ended up somehow surviving.
Everybody is scared shitless of Reavers bandits included.
Most well known Exalted faction is indeed the Paladins but I have hinted at others. There was one shown during the paramilitary/mutant hybrid civ game. bandits also know of another if you can get them to talk about it.
Free tip those the bandits know about are one of the few factions even they wont ever attack and are surprisingly well equipped to deal with MAD. Alas they got hit especially hard during the fall.
Charitables are also pretty rare and often come with some kind of powerful paramilitary escort or bribery to the bandits to make them back down. This is surprisingly effective as bandits are unlikely to attack those they owe or are willing to even help them. Unlike the Good Guys these guys tend to be much for advanced tech wise and in fewer numbers.
I think I only showed one of them.

Aw yeah here comes the Genie
Rolled 47 (1d100)
>>47843550
Other corps are better at dealing with the survivors then you are by a lot.
The reason is simple its because of the survivors unique civ ability. Corps are greedy and often they deal with most with other factions is to get at their special ability indirectly. Survivors and tribals are among their favorites.
That is due to the survivors fantastic salvaging ability and the tribal scouting. If the corps need some place checked out you bet your ass they are going to pay off some tribals to do it for them before they even bother sending their own teams to explore.
>>47839472
Hax can be used for electronic warfare or subterfuge assuming they possess working tech.
JAL can make anything given enough time. Brood systems are very adaptable and only more so now he can mix it with other tech. JAL is however quite insane. You may actually need to approach the other brood forces are are unlikely to be insane as JAL is.
Thing is though JAL rather likes you guys because you got him out of that damned box.

>>47843952
Well, we HAVE been delegating our duties to Bane as much as possible.
So at least, regarding the military we're doing something right.
I think though, this is a major revelation. We need to start delegatng more tasks to other factions! Research to other think tanks, exploring to other survivors, etc.

Biggy has found 4 sites of great interest. Two of each being logistical and computer focused corp origins. Besides that Biggy isn't entirely sure but they appeared to have been part of important installations on this platform.
Meanwhile JAL and King have revealed just how effective the Brood is at underground assault. We didn't even have time to shoot our guns or move the artillery fire over before the enemy was utterly destroyed by the Brood bursting from underground.
They were so effective at in fact they were able to conquer two sites that Biggy found without even damaging them. After that just as quickly as they arrived the brood forces evaporated and our forces mysteriously found the sites perfectly clear without a trace of them.

Yes, but remember the only reason why they can afford it is because corp remnants are the wealthiest factions in the game. So throwing their money around is how they operate and even go so far as to bribe off the bandits(or even better bribe them to fuck over their competition).
That is assuming you can afford it.

You mentioned there were Reaver Clans once genie.
Has there ever been a Reaver Army? Maybe in the old days before the fall?

Also did you guys know that this setting is not just a Post Apoc but it just so happens before the fall it was Space Age Sci-fi?
As in, this planet is only one of a great number of planets to have been hit by the INTERGALACTIC fall event.
I forgot the explanation as to why we don't see many spaceports or landed spaceships but I think most of whatever was in orbit is still up there in pieces as an asteroid field that forever locks the planet (just like so many other planets are still trapped inside their own asteroid belt).

Reavers were never very organized. Its very loose association at best.
Reavers before the Fall were even far stronger then they are now as otherwise they wouldn't have survived. In the Post Fall standards for Reavers has actually dropped a lot.
Pretty much. Lots of planets are locked in an asteroid/wrecked build orbiting around them. If your lucky there might be some clear spots or even a space elevator that hasn't collapsed. Some of those space stations and satellites are still somewhat operational.
Which is actually a bad thing as many of them the last orders they received was to enforce a quarantine.
and yeah the Fall event was fuckoff heug in size. Many worlds were dragged down by it. They players have never dared to play a post apoc space game so you really don't have any info on what is out there...

>>47844291
>Last I checked the smallest reactors could theoretically be the size of a car.
They've shrunk a lot, in fact the big, huge size reactors like at ITER and the NIF are starting to be seen as impractical. The smaller the reaction the less materials you need AND it means the things that we have trouble with (hot temperatures, magnetic field strength) can be scaled down to achievable levels. You need something ridiculous like 23000 tons of steel for a ITER sized tokamak, it'll never be feasible. That's not including the cost of calculations as well, since the hot new thing on the scene is to 'map' the magnetic fields and design the reactor around that and let the plasma self-structure, and it gets exponentially more difficult to calculate.
Lockheed Martin are working on a 'reactor in a shipping container'. A whole reactor ready to go, just feed it fuel and it'll output.

Well shit guess I have to remove that super mini tech from the super tech listing then.
Smallest non super tech was a reactor the size of car roughly. They were used to power the bigger vehicles and had a service life similar to naval ships. When their reactors finally failed they were generally retired as it wasn't worth the cost of rebuilding them with all the new tech advancements by then.
At least that is how I broke it up. Still fucking tiny by today's standards and they were fucking great for powering the huge vehicles. The larger reactors were generally in buildings or ships.
In setting wise they use all kinds of reactors to power everything. That along with advanced batteries kept it all running. Solar, hydropower, wind, and such were all seen as optional. Fossil fuels stuck around though due to its varied uses but was artificially created/replaced as well as considered outdated as a big energy source.
Geothermal was still rather popular as a substitute energy source.
Super tech even had a miniaturized captured sun option.

When I was researching reactors I was looking for how small they could theoretically get because i wanted fallout tier power armor.
Alas the smallest said back then was car sized.
Now I got to retcon it.
Probably make it mini thorium reactors for most of em given how much people will like the thought of lugging around the other kind.

Before leaving his office the CEO was holding a picture in his hand before sighing as he set it down when Ginny showed up. He has no idea what the hell she could be planning but he knows whatever it is its not good news for him.
"You and that picture. What is so special about it anyway?"
"Loved ones Ginny surely you had one didn't you?"
"Yeah but we are here and they aren't. So i don't see why you would torment yourself so."
"Why are you here again?"
"Remember the one AI."
"Took you long enough. Would it kill you to show up during the meeting?"
"Yup."

"What?"
"...I am going to work."
There the CEO find himself waiting apparently waiting for their negotiator. He soon heard the person by the cursing as they drew closer.
"Goddamn it what is with people and feeling the need to bargain. I swear to fucking god ever since those new assholes showed up we had to put up with this shit. Can't just stick to the preexisting agreements nnoo-," cursed the quartermaster as the door was opened. "We can't have that now can w-"
The CEO also stood there slackjawed. "...Karen?"
That was when the quartermaster then rubbed her eyes looked at the CEO again and then proceeded to leave. "Fuck must be dreaming about my dead brother again I am going back to bed and I KNEW I shouldn't have taken those stupid meds...what?"
"Uh Quartermaster this isn't a dream."
"Really? Then why didn't nobody pinch me- OUWCH FUCK forgot the power armor. Goddamn it that hur-wait that hurt so that means...BRO"

You could still keep it. The reactors themselves can be made smaller but currently we still have no better ways to turn the thermal energy into electrical than via steam through a turbine.
There's a few proposals like heating low-melting point magnetic salts and running them through magnetic coils, or pulling off the charged particles in a plasma and running them against magnetic plates. They're all very theoretical and nobody is sure how effective they'll be.

Dr. Clicky for his part continues to click angrily throughout. Sarah had no idea what he was trying to say. Which only made him click even more angrily.
As for the logistical base they were of Megacorp Omitar. Much of the material inside has long been looted but its systems are surprisingly intact. It even shows the location of several material nodes and other Omitar facilities. The biggest gain of it though are the massive amounts of drones and transport craft that are all...just hanging there. Doctor Clicky during the investigation of the facility dissappeared halfway through. Only to be found clicking madly at the different warehouses and drones.
During the computer base he even clicked more madly before a sealed door. When Sarah broke open the door...suspended carefully in the air was a flickering and rotating core. As for those warehouses...they were filled with crates The crates however seemed to be empty but Doctor Clicky kept on clacking about them as if they harbored some secret or threat.

Ginny, if you think you could be useful at looking at those drones you might want to go along with them. Also [Copy Cat] Sarah's detection ability if you head there.
Action 2
CEO, see if you can find any tribal factions around that we might could make deals with to scout out the locations that we found marked on the maps from Omitar, and if so determine what their prices are if you don't mind.
And might I say that our heroes always do a lovely job, and we appreciate them very much. If anyone ever has a personal project and needs resources or manpower for it all they need to do is ask.

Our forces find nothing new about those shipping crates. The drones on the other hand...well only Sarah was the one who noticed it.

So Emergency Command contact is still in effect, so Emergency Command still exists or the channels and an automated kill things command do at least.
They might not be networked together or have an AI directing them though, but I'm suspicious of whatever is hidden in that warehouse. I suspect an SEP field is being used there.

I think you are right kinda. I don't think Jal just hid inside of the brood King, this is Jal's brood he IS the brood King.

So then one turn will be spend in supporting JAL's forces.
Ginny can channel Bot Out to give the brood even more support.
War heroes and spec ops go int o support as well. We can use the psi people to help mask brood and buff.
Action 2 should be spent with the CEO getting our allies ready for this cluster fuck and to talk with his sister more.

Right?
>>47848943
I'm just so happy, i love JAL so much...but theres only so many ways I can draw an AI core...Love what he is and can become. Just need to think of something as he brings me such joy
>>47848970
Bot Out: When used on friendly forces temporarily gain the robotic trait if used on hostile forces they temporarily gain the rampant trait. Can be channeled and lasts only as long as it remains channeled.
I feel it will give the tech brood a nice kick to bypass their organic weaknesses.
>>47848970
We would bot out its units and force rampancy, which I think Jal can leverage. Don't we have other abilities to turn our foes? Time to scour the paste bin.
>>47848992
ask JAL first may be worth turning the enemy rampant.
>>47848970
>>47848921
So we're fighting a real physical battle then?
We need to seriously think about the situation guys.
It seems to me that we're both on the offensive in this case, the King fighting off the robotic forces head on head.
First of all we need to get an idea of where this battle is. Is it outside of the base or inside the building? Above ground or underground?
Then we need to figure out what kind of forces we're fighting we know if.
After that we have seveal options. we can choose to go on the defense, our primary strategy, and let them crash their metallic waves against us or keep pushing up behind the king.
Truth be told our own military is pitiful. We need our allies, Matar Sec and the Rejects that's what we're hiring them for.
Think before we Act!
Rolled 4 (1d100)
>>47848920

The Brood King is however blatantly ignoring orders.
>>47848893
Before JAL got wiped he used his action instead of on himself to Mutate all his forces to become Closed System making it a hell of a lot harder for the Black AI.
>>47848879

Rolled 33 (1d100)
>>47849021
I know our forces are crap. That's why I'm making the actions in support. Like we did with bane company. Then getting our hired guards in the ready with the second action.
With the next turn I would adjust things from there best on where the battle spills out.
I'm formulating a war plan right now.
Question anons:
1. I feel like we should go on the defensive, and support the King from there. We'll send troops to our current defensive lines Matar Sec has already set up and hold the line.
2. I think we should/could call in Matar Sec and Rejects into the Area, and have them help us hold
If they see the KING we will explain it as a monster, it is fighting the AI, but not us. Therefore, the AI is the greater threat.
3. Time to see what our SAMFAP's can do?
I mean, if they are very effective we might end up shredding the base we're trying to capture. Or they might not do much at all.
We could just try to fire only when they're out of the base I guess.
Thoughts?
Rolled 9 (1d100)
>>47848850

Too bad we don't know where Roy is, maybe he could use Stolen Sanity. Wherever he is, he's probably going to use POWAH CONSUMES ME regardless.
Can Biggy use Takedown on the Black AI? Or at least on part of the Black AI's defenses/countermeasures?
>>47849021
Our primary role should be sabotage and support.
The Rejects are rather far away and fighting their own battles, and I don't t know how Matar would react to finding out about our relationship with the Brood.
Might I suggest we use a number of our best and rarest materials/supplies to boost JALs abiltiy
>>47849139
The Rejects still have a base in the area and will keep to their promises of defending us from an invader.
THey were able to wage a war and defend us before.

Rolled 12 (1d100)

I don't really care what else we do, but we definitely need to include the following:
Action 1
CEO, contact Matar Sec. Explain the situation to them and you guys start brainstorming how we can PROFIT off of it if you don't mind. You can eat up an entire action of ours for your devices if you need to.
Also notify the Wasted Warband that we're causing a big old clusterfuck back here. Not saying, just saying.
Also keep in mind that we cannot be seen cooperating with brood without a good excuse.
>>47849139
>>47849136
I'll bet we can take out the AI with the proper barrage of abilities.
Dr clicky's boom cannon + biggy's a bomb + Roy's cold heat (if he is here) + Jal's corruption bomb (if he can) and Ginny's bad assimilation to tie all the moves into one coherent Mega bomb
Rolled 57 (1d100)
>>47849182
Is this something that can be done? If it would actually help I'm all for it.
>>47849215
How we can profit from a war between OUR Brood and a Black AI that WE woke up? And you think Matar will help us profit if we tell them about it? Anyone would want to MURDER US!
Okay, so brainstorming War Action here:
-Action-
1. Have any infantry already in the area fall back to the fortifications being set up by Matar Sec outside the base, if they haven't fallen already
2. Construction Worker Engineers work with Matar Sec in the region to dig up additional defense in depth. Multiple lines of trenches, sandbag walls, bared wire, and whatever else Matar Sec suggests we build right away
3. Move up our RAGE tank(s) and Behemoths to within firing range of the enemy enough to support the King
4. Start up the long range SAMFAP missile bombardment as planed. 24 hours around the clock sustaind and continous missiles striking the target
This should be it for our conventional forces. Trying ot think of the best way to use our Heroes. Specifically our Spec Ops, Sarah, and Biggy.
Thinking of having Sarah train our current psions on accurate artillery guidance via telekenesis during the fight.

We should immediately start shelling all the AI's forces and bases we can identify, regardless. We don't half-ass WAR, this is the post apoc.
Here's what I'm thinking.
1: Begin shelling AI forces/bases. Who cares if they're busted and broken by the end (I've got a plan for it anyway).
2: Wait for brood and AI forces to engage each other before actually directing any troops. If any troops are in the field currently, withdraw them.
3: Keep our heroes in reserve, but form a Squad of Lil P, Biggy, and Sarah. (Dr. Clicky and Roy are off fucking around, the KING is doing his own thing, can't get a solid answer on what JAL's doing).
4: Admit to Matar Sec that we've accidentally pissed off a brood...and a Black AI. On the upside they're fighting each other first.
5: Watch and reassess once the battle begins to unfold.

"Well Matar, you'll find that we tend to liven places up quite a bit simply by our presence. We don't really /like/ it but it's not something we're able to avoid doing either. Now the important thing is figuring out how we're going to PROFIT off of all this. "

Action 1 + 2
Jal and the KING are given their autonomy, with Dr. Clicky with them. Recommend focus on underground combat tactics unless the KING suggests otherwise.
Hero Squad with our Elites continue to wait and stand in reserve in case we get attacked by something sneaky.
The rest of our military will now come under Matar Sec jurisdiction, of course we hope they heed our mentino that we are trying to focus on defense of our particular forces while Matar Sec is probably better at offense than us.
As for the rest of us, every man able to load a gun goes to the cannons and missile batteries.
Our SAMFAP's and RAGE shall sing their song of death through day and night, every minute and hour! We will demolish this AI threat from afar!
FIRE!

That's fine, because I'm sure this battle will last quite some time, but next turn we devote some effort to getting salvage teams prepped and talking with Maticio (or the Wasted Warband) about providing them protection to loot the shit out of the AI's bases once they've been broken.
If the Wasted Warband has not yet been informed of what's about to go down, inform them and tell'em they should probably get ready. Also if they've not got vehicles to take advantage of the upcoming mayhem we could probably certainly provide some for them.

Definitely Action 1 for me is
>Action 1
Get some video feeds and data on these defenses, see how they work and how they are confounding our artillery.
Is it through shields? Point defenses? Sheer bulk of armor that is being repaired by bots? This kind of data is very relevant because we can then work on countermeasures in the future. Even if they won't be ready by our current battle.
This is the first live test we have of our glorious artillery, so we should take every moment to see how we can improve upon it.
...not sure what we should do for action 2 though
Rolled 12 (1d100)

Action 2
We're probably going to be expending a lot of resources both paying Matar Sec to fight and ammunition.
And since we're fighting robots now's a good time to practice our Salvage.
Have the CEO go to survivors (they are good at salvage) and pay them to get us salvage teams we can use to loot the battlefield for material and parts.
Rolled 47 (1d100)

Backing these
>>47849950
Currently, we're paying Matar nothing because that's what they're doing for us. If worse comes to worse we might be able to hire them, but they're not fighting now.
In this specific circumstance, I think anything salvageable is just getting grabbed and assimilated by one of the sides.
Rolled 25 (1d100)
How about we begin research and development of a weapon thats particularly effective against Bots? Like maybe a Tesla weapon or hell even EMPs? Even if it don't work on the main AI they would fuck up bots bit style meanwhile JAL is going full Bio comp and so will be safe.
We build them then give them to JAL
>>47849998
Our shells are already vastly capable.
We can make EMP shells right now, but I gather they have EMP protection. If not that's a good place to go.
What we need to do in the long run is develop Electrical Plasma shells which are highly effective against even shields. Right now we can only make Cold and Hot Plasma

Genie, is Matar currently under contract with us?
Did I miss something?
>>47850133
We were in contract with them since the original 100. Then the CEO rolled another 100.
They are/were constructing defenses around our new sites of which we are not just holding the line instead.
Rolled 74 (1d100)
>>47850057
Electrical plasma is often referred to as the poor man's plasma and you have long been able to make more of it. Its pretty good on a lot of shield types who don't handle the extra energy fluctuations very well.
>>47849913
They appear to be using multiple shield batteries and heavy repairable armor. Point defenses have been seen among their armies and lots of armor. Even strange shielding blasts that get fired above their forces protecting them or even knocking our missiles out of the sky with a single pulse from strange machines.
>>47849950
Survivors have been hired to scavenge the battlefield but they are actively competing with bandit looters.

Action 1
It will take us time to improve technology, but there's always time to improve tactics.
Let's train our troops how to fire with Multiple Round Simultaneous Impact
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WghCzSKySxA
Previously we have just been firing in the conventional method, with sustained continuous rounds at somewhat regular intervals.
MRSI missions will allow our high firerate SAMFAP's and RAGE artillery to strike a single target with a great number of rounds fired into the air. We will try to pierce their sheilds and repairs through single, and devastating rounds of mass ordnance focused on a single individual target.
In addition, have Sarah train our front line Psions how to guide artillery shells onto the target. The goal is to have as many shells and missiles land at the same time on an area the size of one foot.
I believe that by firing many rounds in short intervals instead of a few rounds at long intervals, we should be able to pierce their defenses. Like a knife instead of a fist.
Still thinknig on Action 2
