As an NPC, Pan Wen gains a slightly higher "experience" from killing players than sniping at other NPCs, even if the players are still just boats, so it's better not to let go of the rare opportunity.

As for the other wave of single-digit ships, even if they have big ships, they don't need to worry too much.

"Activate the alliance will send information on the ship on a short-range radio channel, and prepare to locate nearby colleagues for fixed-point communication."

Similar to the usual identification information, the Alliance will use the encrypted broadcast channel to send, according to the Alliance's membership manual, the need to receive the message for feedback, so as to find out those who are parked mining without opening the active search for enemies, and the short-distance broadcast will quickly escape from a certain distance, and will not attract too large a range of strange species. The broadcast signal is easy to be intercepted, but the algorithm cannot locate it before it is deciphered, and can only identify the direction of the signal source.

The delay of the broadcast signal is almost negligible within one or two million kilometers, and in a minute or two, twenty ships do the signal feedback.

"Boss, it's time to start talking."

Pan Wen nodded and pressed the fixed-point communication.

"Guys, this is Pan Wen, a first-level member of the Alliance, and the battle will break out in my position, and the scale is predicted to be several times larger than before. I hope you don't hide too much at that time, so that the cats and dogs will also want to come and watch the fun. ”

He didn't plan to find someone to help, but when he was still the captain of the Hammer, he saw the faces of the MR241 "wild monsters" clearly, and these things may respond to the call, but whether someone asks for help or is beaten himself, it always feels a bit procrastinating, and when they go from being basically stationary to the scene from the relatively asteroid, the daylily is also cold.

Under the premise that they can't grasp the next wave of enemy situation for the time being, it is unrealistic to let the "wild monsters" not need it, Pan Wen feels that as long as they can cooperate a little to show their existence in any way, at least they can make the next few ships hesitate and give the Golden more time.

After completing the contact with the members of the Friendship Alliance in the neighborhood, the group of suspected players has entered a million kilometers.

Pan Wen hesitated for a moment, but still gave an order to the overrun mecha group: "Bernice, take the overrun mecha team to battle in two minutes." After leaving the ship, we will find an ambush point for you, pay attention to the fact that there are a lot of enemies, probably patrol ship level, and ensure survival as a priority. ”

A battle of this scale was still too dangerous for the first actual combat of an oversized mecha, and Pan Wen was most worried that the pilot's mental endurance might not be enough to cope with the over-intensity battle. The Living Super Power Amplifier does enhance the effect of individual special abilities and apply them to the mecha, but the attenuation rate of the pilot's mental activity during the test also accelerates, and it is difficult to say whether the overrun mecha can maintain its maximum combat power for a few minutes when it comes to actual combat.

However, he finally chose to send them out, because the player collection will only get stronger and stronger, and if you don't even dare to patrol the fleet, the overrun mecha, an expensive machine that exceeds the price of the gunboat, can only bully the NPC ships that fall into the order, and the development fee is basically a hundred flowers in addition to winning Bernice's favor.

After giving Bernice the order, he went to another channel: "If you have a driver's license from the Marine Corps, please return to the remote operation room, the sisters of the Overrun Mech Team need your support." ”

Long before going to the federal capital to make trouble, Pan Wen had noticed that players were increasingly fond of using fighters in the MR241 space, seemingly to bridge the gap in reconnaissance capabilities with frigates. The full attack power of the overrun mech is purely a waste of firepower to fight fighters, and the reason is that the flexibility of the mechs/fighters leads to a poor hit rate when attacking each other, and the overrun mechs can cause a lot of damage to larger targets when they have this time.

In this case, the Alai III fighter is a very suitable weapon for confrontation, and the price is slightly more expensive than ordinary fighters, but the remote control operation without delay using the gold hyperspace communication integrated system is about the same as that of ordinary fighters with pilots when they break.

……

While the Golden was waiting for the rabbit, there was a discordant sound in the approaching fleet.

"Yamada-san, the encrypted broadcast signal intercepted just now made me very uneasy."

On the command platform that received this communication, there was a guy with a trimmed goatee on his chin who was Yamada-kun of the Sunset Dynasty who had been cheated by Pan.

"Yoshioka-san, we can't be satisfied with fighting monsters all the time. The intensity of the energy burst earlier was not small, and after the fight, he dared to broadcast on the spot, it must be a boss-level existence calling mobs, don't you want to figure out what's there? ”

"Of course I want to, but the cost of death in the Galactic Era is too high, and I'm worried that the size of the fleet is not enough."

This topic can be regarded as covering Yamada's sore spot, a few months ago, the boss was worn by other bosses, but he took out a lot of money to compensate the members for the difference between the insurance premium and the total ship price.

"Hmm...... You have a point...... Yes, before it entered the maximum range of the full-size gun, we used the fighter plane to look at it and confirm what the target was. ”

Players are very rogue creatures, and the "forum" will be closed for a while when the pilot of the fighter dies, but they can still rely on the presence of the "outside" to get information in time.

Yamada made a decision, and the fleet maintained its speed and began to enter a circling position, and the three fighters with the replacement of the pilot were released and quickly moved forward.

Relying on the advantages of size and mobility, the fighter can easily approach or even penetrate into the maximum effectiveness area of the main gun to reconnoitre, grasp the distance, and use the airborne low-power small-range initiative to seek the enemy, which will not provoke a large-scale enemy, and can effectively obtain intelligence within 200,000 or 300,000 kilometers in the nebula environment, and the better fighters can even obtain a larger range of data. The fuel cost of the fighter is a bit bad, but its reconnaissance ability that is not easy to be hit by large ships is still more and more recognized by players.

The fighters approaching the target area did not encounter any interception, nor did they detect the signal to seek the enemy, everything seemed to indicate that the thing in front of them was a "wild monster".

When the initial information about the target was actually obtained, the three player pilots were clearly not satisfied.

"There are four of them, let's go back." The pilot of the fighter did not know the specific situation of the target, and one person felt that it was quite normal to have four ships left after the battle.

"No, keep getting closer, the fighter is not ours anyway."

This type of player is a mercenary among the players, and some of the things that the player can do that the NPC can't do, so there is a group of people who work in the second world.

"Okay, split up and try to get a clear image."

Continuing to move forward, the fighter plane was directly exposed to the opponent's high-sensitivity sensing area, and if it was not surprising, if it continued to get closer, it was immediately found that there was a fighter accelerating to intercept, and it was all in a three-to-one volume to carry out the interception mission.

Normal fighters do not have a shield system, and when they are one-on-three, the probability of being hit will increase greatly because they cannot prevent all enemies from entering a uniform movement at the same time.

The three of them contacted again, and the fighter plane didn't bother to ask for it, so he adjusted his direction and took the fighter plane that came to intercept it to circle the ecliptic plane longitudinally for half a circle, and rushed directly into the range of the secondary gun of their respective targets.

A few minutes later, a person comes out of the stationary compartment of a ship in the player's fleet, runs a few steps to the control room not far away, and presses the fleet communication.

"The fighter saw a big guy, although he died before he could accurately measure, but the pilot judged that it was at least the cruiser level! The one that looks like Titan Heavy Industries' original livery is used, and there are three frigates that are pirate liveries, and there is no conflict between them. ”

Yamada swallowed his saliva when he heard the news: "Cruiser? A pirate's cruiser? ”

"There should be no mistake, he said that he was almost 100,000 kilometers away from the target when he was hit, and the frigate's beam secondary gun could not reach this level."

"Hmm...... Cruisers. Yamada hesitated.

With the permission of the players at this time, the information of the cruiser is kept secret from them, and the information obtained from the NPC's mouth is also unknown, and no player knows what will happen to the cruiser with a boss-level captain, and there seems to be no cruiser in the starport where the Federation was raided some time ago. Therefore, Yamada could not judge for a while whether his fleet could pose a threat to the fleet consisting of the cruiser and the three frigates.

After thinking hard for a while, he really came up with a solution.

"Bang." He hammered down the table and made a decision, "Send some fighters to reconnoiter again, this time there is no need to get close, just monitor, use the relay method to keep in touch with the fleet." The fleet retreats a section, depending on the situation. ”

Just monitoring doesn't need a group like the player driver who pays bonuses according to the number of actions, and the possibility of static monitoring being completely destroyed is also very small.

The retreat of the main fleet was not instigated by Yamada, it could play several roles. If the fighter reconnaissance just now stimulates the boss, the boss may come in their direction, and it is not advisable to touch it until you understand its combat effectiveness; In addition, because of the fighter reconnaissance, the boss should increase the search for data in this direction, and may have discovered their fleet, and evacuating to the safe zone will help the boss return to its normal state.

Soon the relay communication of the fighter sent back the news, and the boss did not move.

Yamada clenched his fist and looked a little excited to wave it in the air, and ordered the fleet to slow down and lower the directional characterization.

"Yamada-san, and then?"

"Haha, I'm sure there are other guys who have detected the previous high energy fluctuations and are rushing over to try to pick up the bargain, this is a great opportunity for us to learn about the cruiser." After he finished happily, his expression became a little more serious, and he ordered, "Yoshioka-san, you go to our dynasty's reservation room and let me know if there is anyone else in MR241 who can come as soon as possible." ”

Yamada's solution is to step back and wait for the opportunity to obtain information, and by the way, waiting for support, the Sunset Dynasty is not a small guild in the Isis Empire, and the bits and pieces of members who are only leveling in MR241 can add up to two or three hundred ships.
