QM: so I think there are a few options here
Change Faction Goal to
>Military Conquest: the objective could be to deliver supplies to the Emerald Dawn Conclave. This could be attempted with the Mining Rig on its own, in a stealth mission. A very brave thing to attempt would be to
>use the Mining Rig as a boarding shuttle to convey Emerald Dawn into one of the capital ships
>Qarthadast
>Klemperer Orbital
>Woe To The Vanquished: this is far easier to achieve, if you just destroy anything it can be considered done. You could for example attempt to wreak havoc upon one or both of the capital ships interceptors, and then just beat a hasty retreat lol
>Some other goal...?
>manufacture light arms (QM: please indicate what these are)
>manufacture heavy arms (roll 1d100 please also write-in what these resemble)
>Hyperspace in the Drone Fleet from Cygnus / Tyndareus Station, cost 40 ISD
>Set war doctrine and command intent for drone fleet:
>Command By Negation: the drones operate autonomously and feed a continuous stream of their movements back to Grid command, using their own initiative to execute orders unless they receive a negative countermand order. You only issue commands as to what they must NOT do. The advantage is that the drones can respond faster on their own initiative to a changing battle situation. The drawback is that this intent generates a tremendously large volume of data which may confuse understanding of the battlespace, as well as attempts at cyberwarfare intrusion
>Kill Chain: using a methodology of F2T2EA, the drones will delegate amongst themselves forward control tasks of the Find, Fix, Track, Target, Engage, Assess combat cycle. The advantage of this approach is higher targeting accuracy, drawbacks include a lower overall combat power (as a portion of drones dedicated to recon and target acquisition)
>Effects Based Operations (EBO): the drones will not attempt direct force-on-force engagement of the enemy, but will seek instead to identify some decisive enemy weakness, action or weighted combination of actions that achieve surprising and unexpected force multiplier effects. The main drawback to this is that the drones may be utterly destroyed before the decisive action can ever be achieved.
>Force concentration: the drones attempt to overwhelm the enemy with a direct massed strike. This is a simple and highly aggressive attrition tactic, but may be vulnerable to manoeuvre or baited traps from the enemy
>A2AD anti access area denial: a defensive approach whereby the drones will swarm and overrun a spatial volume, destroying anything that encroaches upon it. Can be used to pin down an opponent, but the drone defense will degrade over time under massed enemy fire
>Something else...?
