+++ OVERVIEW +++
In orbit over prey-world (Deathworld) in D-System:
- Queen Hive Ship (Titan class)
- Offspring Hive Ship (Light Cruiser class)
- Ramsmiter Kraken (Medium escort class)
- Stalker Droneship (Light escort class)
- Narvhal Droneship (Light escort class non-combatant)
In orbit over prey-world (Oceanic) in A-System (astropathic contact lost):
- Vanguard Droneship
Additional data:
- Second potential prey-world (Warped) also in A-System, origin of psychic interference
+++Other Systems+++
B-System: Contains a small, cold sun, less likely to have abundant biomass. Several large planets, possibly gas giants. They seem to have moons. These might be worth checking, but will take the droneships longer to scout.
C-System: A binary system, two massive suns and many planets. At least one artificial orbital object of notable size. Definitely settled by prey-things, likely fortified.
+++New Gravimetric Data+++
E-System: Small, cold sun, but significant mid-sized planetary presence. High gravitic flux-pull indicates this system may also be a centralized hub to many others - likely well-trafficked by space-borne prey.
F-System: Super-massive sun, likely to reach nova within the next few millenia. Planetary determination impossible due to overwhelming gravity.
Current determinations requiring synaptic attention:
- Allocation of remaining biomass absorbed from current prey-world.
- Current focus for Norn Queen genetic alterations.
- Composition of recent droneship clutch. Five such drones must be morphed into vanguard, stalker, or kraken strains (kraken use up biomass equivalent to two drones).
Evening gestalt.
A 3 stalker, two vanguard disposition was discussed during our last communion.
In what manner does biomatter allocation require our direct attention?
>>38856321
>In what manner does biomatter allocation require our direct attention?
Remaining biomatter can be allocated towards the following:
- Allow the Offspring Hive Ship to molt and increase in size.
- Calf a second offspring hive ship.
- Birth a second clutch of ~5 droneships.
- Focus on gestation of complex synaptic terrestrial strains.
- Focus on gestation of overwhelming numbers of simple terrestrial assault strains.
Up to two of the above options are feasible...

+++ Overview +++
The Hive Fleet currently consists of the following:
In orbit over prey-world in D-System:
- 1 recovering Hive Ship harbouring Norn Queen, few broods of zoanthropes, several tervigons, several trygon primes and mawlocs, various lesser strains (warrior/gauntii/genestealer/subterranean/toxic node/fexii/artillery) in moderate numbers.
- 1 mutated Ramsmiter kraken armed with grasping claws/tendrils, harbouring several broods of hyper-adrenalized hormagaunt and genestealer strains.

Engaged in escalated struggle with metallic non-prey entities on western desert/jungle biome merge.
Non-prey originating from two sites, pin-pointed via scouting ravener/genestealer brood packs.
Primary combined arms forces engaging at front consist of infantry and heavy infantry backed up by varieties of skimmers.

Evening Gestalt. Preservation synapse connected to synaptic communion.
We will start by listing current issues, as we understand them.
Issues that require our attention:
- #1; Ravener scouts have located remaining oppositional strongholds in western wasteland.
- current solution; Large broods of trygons and massed genestealer forces are being prepared for targeted search-and-destroy missions against these complexes.
- #2; enemy 'deathmark' strains are targeting our synapse creatures.

Currently employing the following behavioural stratagems:
- Second generation Trygon clutch has been birthed, preparing for subterranean strike on non-prey origin sites followed by overwhelming second wave of genestealers through emergence tunnels
- Currently gestating modified 'Challenger Strain' Warrior Prime organism bearing ostentatious display of colouration patterns and superfluous carapace ridges to lure non-prey leader entities into "selective combat" trap.

Fivefold Fury Onslaught and Hammer on Iron actually are not as insane as we originally thought.
It lacks the initiative reset clause Iron Whirlwind and Trance of Unhesitating Speed have, so if you hit with your first attack, you reset to base. If you miss with the second attack, you take -2 init. Miss with third, -2, you crash yourself and you can't finish the rest of the attacks since you can't launch decisive attacks when crashed. That means that if you take one hit and...

I think you're underestimating just how brutal the PSD + IWA combo would be. Let's break this down:
Str 4, Stam 4, Dex 5, Ability 5, specialty 1. Say you have 15 initiative when making this attack.
Now let's look at Iron Whirlwind:
5 attacks, but you don't have to split the damage evenly. Assuming you apply Excellent Strike and Hungry Tiger Technique (which costs 2i of your 15i), you get:
11 dice and 1 auto success, 1 damage die plus extra successes...

Hammer on Iron Technique attack:
11 dice pool on each of 5 attacks (str/stam +1), none of which get bonuses to hit. Damage for each is 3 initiative, plus Fivefold Fury Onslaught bonus, so the damage is 4,5,6,7,8. Their defense is then at -0, then -1, -2,-3,-4, due to onslaught penalties, assuming they had none to start with. Ferocious Jab applies to the final attack for an extra 4 damage, all of which ignores hardness, plus...

We're gonna try something new today, /tg/. This is Splinter Fleet Quest. After the rout at Ichar IV, many badly injured Tyranid Hive Ships of Hive Fleet Kraken were scattered throughout Ultima Segmentum. We are one of them.
Status: Carapace badly compromised by thermal-based prey weapons. Homeostasis functioning poorly - many organisms in uteri will not survive the coming hours. Endosymbiotic triage is prioritizing the Norn Queen and a small selection of synapse creatures. Nutrient reserves low due to our ablative ice and fat layers being destroyed in the orbital...

make the jump to cleaner pastures. if we aren't healed enough to do that, we could probably go rummage around on planetoids while we regenerate
>>38685979
>>38685904
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks liek we need to morph our droneships first.
I'd recommend making 1 a Narvhal, 2 of them into Vanguard Drones, and 1 into a Stalker Drone. Then we can use the Narvhal to see what star systems we can jump too.
Are these ships based on the BFG ship catalogue for the Tyranids?
Can we move under sublight speeds to the Oort Cloud of whatever system we're in now and take some resources?

How do you ussually use goblins?
>>38263984
Eviscerated and splattered against the walls.
Our DM really hates goblins for some reason, and our BBEG is a particularly brutal necromancer.
Playful gullible minions for all sides of the good-evil spectrum. They're not evil in the way orcs are.
Just very greedy, cowardly, but also childishly naive. Depending on who they work for and where they live they can be hygienic, well mannered, cookie bakers or the nasty cutthroat henchmen in the dungeons adventurers crawl in.
Brothels. I've seen too much shorstack, goblins have been irreparably harmed in my mind.
I need to watch myself before I start including the males in that.
It's two years since Earth went mad with war. Super-empowered individuals, rogue actors within nation states, corporate terrorism - the works. We didn't even recognize the real threat until it was staring us in our faces. One year, six months since war against the renegade AIs, the TITANS, began in earnest. A year since we recognized we were beaten and began to evacuate Earth itself. eight months since the blockade was sealed shut, and the TITANS ceased their onslaught, as if forcing us to abandon the planet was the goal all along.
Eight months, the rest of...

Wuhp , looks like i know what i'll be doing for the day.
So while i'm totally infamiliar with this, tzhe concept has me intrigued.
I shall read up on it.
For now can you tell me of the alignment system?
the first thing that came to my mind was somthing allong the lines of:
melodic -> brütal and
symphonic -> impovized
I play a paladin in an online 3.5 campaign. And I have run into a unique problem.
I am the flame of Ilmater, and lead the disenfranchised and suffering into the light. Conceptually amazing, hailed as a savior by other players and the DM team alike.
But I have encountered what I like to call alignment entropy. Allow me to explain:
A paladin can, through deed and word alike, commit evil like any other man. Indeed, in some situations, they are required to partake in evil actions to save lives, or to eliminate threats. Such as executing someone who can't...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
But a paladin is judged more harshly for what constitutes a good action. Within the morality of 3.5, we are posed the following:
"Good implies altruism, respect for life, and a concern for the dignity of sentient beings. Good characters make personal sacrifices to help others."
A paladin, by their very nature, benefits from everything they do in a very tangible way. Because of their direct benefit, their actions can no longer be truly altruistic. Even when that is the sole intent.
Therefore, it stands to reason that the alignment of a paladin...
