During the Battle of Safizon, you were using Coercers against the Drifters - were you able to use hit-and-run tactics and warp off the majority of the fleet after each pass, or was it more throwing the fleet into the meat-grinder each time, then re-shipping?

Others in the fleet might respond sooner. Thought I'd give them the chance. His was the name I was given.

Watching what happened that day brought back memories of the Winter's War. You can't really turn a moon in the far north without tripping over the remains of a Drake shredded by Titan fire.

Hit and run tactics were used. Neutral speed scouts were used to provide immediate warp-in locations while the drifters were engaged in pursuing fast interceptors. Once a foe was destroyed, the fleet would warp off to a secure location before the drifters had a chance to re-assess their immediate threats, while the interceptor would re-draw their fire.

So the Drifters focused fire on the interceptor, allowing the Coercers to warp out? Very good to know. Thank you, Cardinal.

Cardinal...

All due respect, but perhaps you would like to give the Matari Goon and everyone else who has access to this forum Imperial Comm access and our security codes as well?

But since the Fedo is out of the bag...

The tactic worked. Other tactics were tried as well, some worked some didn't. Still others CONCORD didn't like, so we were unable to get a full measure of their effectiveness.

Hit them fast, hit them hard. Expect to get blown to dust and don't let them get your pod.

Please don't. We have very specific departments for that sort of thing. That should go to the GIA - and I'm not GIA. I'm RepSwarm. My focus is on training logi anchors and logistics pilots - on saving lives, not espionage.

Thank you. The important thing was the missing piece of the interceptor to draw their aggression while the destroyers warped off.
