Chapter Twenty-Eight: Forum Undercurrents
In a room in the forum called "Coalition of the Victims", a discussion about something continues.
With the black-haired man's rhetorical question, most of them showed the same expression, but there were still two or three who were still in the clouds.
Seeing this, the black-haired man patted his forehead and said it directly: "The fighter is an auxiliary means of reconnaissance, we should abandon the original aesthetics, give up the humanoid mecha, and adopt a fighter with real combat stealth ability." That way, even if we can't deal with the Awakened in the short term, we can at least have more time to escape. ”
"Didn't the mecha's manual also say that it could be invisible?"
In response to this question, it was the silver-haired man just now: "Specially coaxed a guy like you to play, you can see the shape of the mecha and know how it is good to be at the luminous body level in space." ”
When it comes to fighters and mechs, there is an interesting division. In places with more NPCs, such as the pirate paradise of Segois, you can't buy space combat mechs except for maintenance mechas, so you need to customize them! NPCs use only warplanes, and most of them are stick-shaped, fusiform, or special geometry. In the Isis Empire and the Gabri Federation where the player is located, there are endless humanoids and various American mechas, and there are countless mecha competitions and tournaments in the atmospheric environment.
It's easy to explain the difference, the four gods will take care of the player's fun, but for NPCs living in the "real", there's nothing more important than survival. If in a ground war, a humanoid mecha cannot be completely replaced by a fighter due to its flexible and comprehensive general functions, then in a Star Wars environment, fighting on a mecha is almost equivalent to dying of death. Compared with the beautiful and seemingly flexible mech, the advantage of the fighter is that the content area of the same tonnage is much larger than that of the mech, and the more powerful equipment allows them to have better linear acceleration and main fire intensity, and the positive cross-sectional area in battle is also smaller, and the large-angle inclined armor also provides better protection for the interior. Flexibility? At the ballistic velocity of a beam weapon, where "seeing" is equal to "shooting", the size of the combat cross-section and the strength of the armor are obviously more important than flexibility, not to mention the loss of linear acceleration due to the ability to change speeds.
The players present have reached a certain consensus on the reactivation of the fighter and have begun to discuss specific tactics.
Suddenly, a person asked on a whim: "You say, can we order a special fighter under a certain name and use missile weapons to make up for the shortcomings of their inability to pay for the frigates?" ”
"Huh?" The man's whims immediately piqued the interest of the others, "Tell me what you think?" ”
"Ah...... Oh! The man stumbled twice, and struggled to organize the language before explaining, "We don't need the help of fighters to deal with experience monsters, but in the case of frigates, the only use of fighters is reconnaissance." I thought, since its weapons can't be used in any situation, why not simply replace it with a missile box, which seems to avoid the external missile from reducing its radar stealth ability. ”
"Good! Good idea! That's it! The little fat who spoke in some dialects just now immediately stretched out his thumb in agreement.
The black-haired man was not as impulsive as Chubby, and reminded: "Wait a minute, the cost of using missile weapons against frigates is very high, and from the 'history' I have learned, less than one percent of the hits that can be hit after being intercepted may exceed the cost of our 'resurrection', so the gains outweigh the losses." I think we need the help of professionals in this regard. ”
"Wow! Open a multinational transportation company, register the money, and ask in the name of the company to build fighter planes. ”
A few of the people present were shocked by Xiaopang's words, and there was only one word in their hearts - local tyrant!
It is not difficult to start a company and do a small business in the second world, but once the matter is related to "transnational", it will never be a small amount of money, even if it is a leather bag company, at least there must be a fleet with medium cross-border transportation security.
The black-haired man shook his head with a smile, but what he said was affirmative: "Okay, everyone is in the empire and the federation, and such a company is also needed for cooperation." The matter will be handed over to Boss Wang, and everyone will give their respective characters and ship information to Boss Wang as part of the fixed assets. ”
Xiaopang, that is, Boss Wang's brain is not very good at playing the second world, and he is used to spending money but he is still a little shrewd in business, and he immediately realized that the black-haired man's proposal was to share the equity. But he doesn't care, because even if the equity is apportioned, he will still be the largest shareholder of the company, but the entanglement of interests is far more reliable than any agreement or contract, and it is a matter of time before part of the equity is divided, otherwise it is impossible to become bigger.
"The fighter is so decided, which is the whole tactical teaching?" The matter of the fighter plane has to be asked to the professionals, and there will be no result for a while, and Xiaopang turns his attention to the tactical aspect.
"I still have a few men." The black-haired man spoke, "Tomorrow we will probably be able to gather a fleet of ten patrol ships, two of which are medium-sized ships, although it is still a bit not enough to pull MR241, it should be enough to only do tactical exercises." ”
"President Yin, your Golden Eagle Guild is also in the Isis Empire. If you want to buy fighter planes, you can come to me, it just so happens that some of my subordinates are planning to change ships recently, and I wonder if I can let you do the drill by way of lend-lease. The silver-haired man said and took out a card to the black-haired man.
The Golden Eagle Union, surnamed Yin, is a blue-eyed hybrid in the second world! In the forum, he uses a different face, his eyes are not blue, but the dark brown of other yellow people.
"It's great if it's a lease, everyone has been short of money lately, and it's not a small amount to buy a batch of fighters."
"It's convenient for me to be with others, I don't want to be beaten by that guy again."
……
Pan Wen doesn't know what kind of "surprises" or "fright" players will bring to him, this kind of thing has been many times in his life, he never underestimates the wisdom of players, but these are not things he can change, all he can do is quietly do his job and make himself stronger.
Probably because there are no players involved yet, Pan Wen unexpectedly recruited three powerful crew members.
Margarita, female, head technician.
This is a girl who has no image at all, or a female man, at least she has a smell of engine oil when she comes to apply.
License: Rare Tier Advanced Battleship Technician (Ship damage increased by 11%). Ancillary License: Senior Technician Management (when the technician is abundant, the ship will get an additional 150 points/day of repair points at work, which will need to consume reserve materials and tools); Advanced system optimization (up to 10% higher weapon system hits and radar system analysis accuracy as time spent on the ship increases)
License: Rare Tier Expert Technician (repairs and maintains the ship's internal facilities, restores the durability of a single device by 7 points/day, and multiple technicians can work cumulatively); Ancillary License: Expert External Repair (Engineering Robots can be used to repair the ship's external armor, 5 points/day, and multiple technicians can work cumulatively); Expert-level small machine proficiency (when maintaining fighters and mechas, after a period of time, it can comprehensively improve its combat, mobility, strength and other performance by 15%, which cannot be stacked, and the time can be shortened when the number of personnel increases); Expert Energy Reshuffling (Optimized circuits to increase the maximum charge rate of the shield system by 15% (requires at least 20 technicians))
Judging from her license, it is clear that this is a hard-working genius, and it is obvious that she is a talent who has changed from an ordinary technician to a chief technician. The responsibility of the chief technician is to manage the team of technicians, and the technician license is no longer useful in the position of the chief technician, so her complete set of expert-level technician licenses can only get more psychological points from Pan Wen, but it cannot add extra treatment to herself.
Like her colleague Matthew, Margarita doesn't pay much attention to money, and her annual salary of 200 Star Coins is nothing compared to her improvement in the ship's abilities, and her only requirement is to work under a female captain. Although there is a suspicion of lace, Pan Wen is still very happy to have a good technician to join the team, as for whether it will really develop a lily, it will give Doris a headache, I believe she can't refuse a high-level technician.
Another high-ranking crew member is exactly the type that is urgently needed in the team.
Eloan, male, fire controller.
A baby-faced masa-type boy with a baby fat face under his light brown hair.
License: Boss Tier Primary Fire Control (Enhanced Fire Control System, Increases Hit Rate by 22% on Sustained Strikes). Subsidiary Licenses: Boss Tier Primary Particle Weapon Mastery (effectively reduces particle flow duration of particle weapons by 15%), Boss Tier Elementary Live Weapon Mastery (increases the firing rate of live weapons by 15%)
A boss-level fire controller can be said to be a bonus. Although his licenses are all beginner now, which is exactly the same as the improvement of the battleship's ability with the elite-level expert-level fire controller, but after all, he is a boss level, and once the level is up, it is not the same thing at all.
In addition to being three times higher than the Elite Rank Expert Fire Controller, with an annual salary of 200 Star Coins, Aloan also has an ancillary agreement - he must dock at Ji Yun Star Sakura Harbor for at least one week during the contract period.
This subsidiary agreement gave Pan Wen a headache, because Ji Yunxing is the capital of the feminist country Florine Republic! With the xenophobia of the Florean Republic, docking there is a tightrope for Panvin.
Pan Wen knows that there is no free lunch in this world, and the more senior crew members must be accompanied by special requirements, like senior navigator Su Qing, who only need more money, it is really good, and it is normal for Matthew and Eloan to not ask for more money.
After a little hesitation, Pan Wen signed Eloan's contract as soon as possible. His solution was very simple, just put together a ship full of female crews, the Republic of Florence is indeed xenophobic, but at the same time it is also a feminist country, and foreign women still have human rights in them.
As for whether Aloan can come back alive, Pan Wen first explained the risks, and after some bargaining, he lowered Aloan's signing fee to 100 Star Coins, and the other 300 Star Coins must wait for Eloan to come out of Sakura Harbor before he can give it.
Eloan also arrived relatively early, and by the time he was done, the crew of the Scalpel had only recruited more than twenty people. As long as the rest are all female crews, the next time there is a ship to recruit crews, a little adjustment will be made, and you can make up an all-female ship.
…… Well, in addition to the officers, Pan Wen recruits in order of priority for positions in the control room. And the control rooms on the three ships of the Heavy Hammer and the Kuroshio, including the remaining posts in the control room of the Scalpel, are not enough to meet the needs of an all-female command system, so we can only wait for the next time.
Of course, the scalpel number must be all female soldiers next.
But it's easier said than done, Segois is an NPC force that has no players for the time being, and the proportion of space employees is normal, and women account for less than one-fifth, which also needs to pick the right ability, and the restriction is many times greater.
After two hours, the progress was clearly behind the normal recruitment, and Pan Wen had to use his personal computer to send a notice to all the crew members under his command, and the vacation was extended by an additional day.
It was this extended recruitment that gave him an unexpected gain.
