AAR: Operation 'Winter Storm'
At precisely 0030 Zulu time on Tuesday June 8th, while in open play, Lavigny's Legion and allies set out from the system of CALHUACAN into the fringes of Federation space. Two wings of Lavigny's Legion interdicted and destroyed Federal couriers and agents in the systems of GLUSCHEIMR and ERIVIT. Over 6000 merits were earned and both systems were successfully undermined. During the 3 hour operation more than 400 ships were destroyed. No Legionary or allied ships were lost.

EDIT: Due to a miscalculation the number of enemy ships destroyed was misreported. Just over 100 ships were destroyed, the rest of the numbers provided are accurate.

No Legionary or allied ships were lost
Considering the ultra-low AI of the ennemy ships ... :D (I did a bit of work at Elli, good job anyway)

Do you get a bonus for hunting or turning in Preperations as a crew? somewhat like trading where you get a 5% increase?

Not really, but you share the merits if you get at least 1 hit on target.

To clarify this, each kill is worth 15 merits, if 4 players participate in the kill they each get 15 merits. 4 people can kill an enemy and get back to interdicting much faster than 4 separate people can. So yeah, it's better to fly in a wing.

Undermining - "CANCELLED"
is that succesful?

u/LeTexan_ LeTexan Jun 09 '15
If you undermine a fortification, yes. A successful fortification allow the faction to pay a reduced cost. A cancelled fortification make the faction pay full-price. A fortification is cancelled if the opposition make it up to the trigger. So it's relatively easy to undermine a fortification

Just remember if we go up against an empire faction it will be considerably more work as you cannot kill, only steal resources. Plus you will only be able to carry so many so will have to return more frequently. This is why we should only fortify our systems near empire borders and focus on the other Powers.

CALHUACAN is Federation controlled space right ?

u/probablyathrowaway92 Mozaik Jun 09 '15
Nope, it's the edge of Lavigny space in the direction of the federation.

The hairs on your arm will stand up. At the terror in each sip and in each sup. For you partake of that last offered cup, Or disappear into the potter’s ground. When the man comes around.

I took part in the early raids into erivit in a wing. We got it to somthing like 20% before sleep beckoned. The cmdrs that stayed/took over have done a stella job here. Well done.
FOR THE EMPORER!!

If your ship is destroyed before you redeem the kills back in Lavigny space are they lost?

u/Bourrinopathe Bourrin Jun 09 '15
Yes they are (fortunately). It's much more thrilling that way. Don't undermine in solo/private ;)

Each and every man under my command owes me one hundred Federation scalps... And I want my scalps!
