Things have stagnated and we cannot wait for the Senate to finish lest the zeal we have built for rping lag dangerously and wane once more.
I have been conversing with my right hand man, Jarek T'chort, and this is what I sent to him a few moments ago.
An attack is needed immediately for the sake of the boards I agree. I propose this:
As you say, Devaron and Guji are open to attack but the problem therein lies the extension of the border. If you look at the map the way things are now, taking those two systems would give us an impressive hook into NR space but one that would be severed and allow the conquered systems to wither and die under blockade. perhaps this -
A drive from Hilari to Devaron across open space - -of course it will be filled with hundreds of npc systems that we will have to subjugate but a running battle in space like a swirling mass of panzers at Prokorovka. The Nr can parry our thrusts but we keep side stepping them and outflanking them like the Afrikakorps.
The battle would be running and intensive, and we would have to the assault and the follow up units, running supplies and such. It would a dash to the wire as it were.
So what I propose is a running battle with Destroyers trying their best but all being decided by the speed of cruisers and frigates - - -the true workhorses of the fleets.
We would be netting several dozen systems, all npc, but you would get to defend them and bloody our nose while we attack. In the end, you could withdraw the questioned sector group to Devaron where our battlewagons can duke it out.
Thoughts???
We're going to do it anyway, but some humans would be preferably to npc opponents.
