How does renegotiating work with contracts then?

[Timberwolfd]

As I see it, JUPITER and TOWER STRIKE look like possibles.
JUPITER is very central and cadre duty is an interesting change of pace.
TOWER STRIKE has a crap ton of transport payout with a 3 month duration. Which allows us to get a big pay day and then go on to the next contract.

TOWER STRIKE looked good to me. What’s Cadre Duty?

[Timberwolfd]

-Cadre: Long mission; requires Skill Checks every few months to “train” NPCs; failure on enough skill checks terminates the contract early with a failure. All units gain access to Maintenance Facilities for Repair/Maintenance irrespective of whether they’re assigned to Scout, Fight, or Defense

[Black Omega]

Tower Strike planet home of Taurian Flight school.  Implies possibility of lots of enemy air support.  And our fighter strength is down.  Jupiter works for Dancer.  Anything against the CapCon.

[deadlyfire2345]

Jupiter seems like the best for Dragon as well.

[Timberwolfd]

Cadre missions are mostly defensive. Make sure you consider that in your choices. We will also probably have to shepherd newbs in lights away from a fight or two. Think Kittery Training Battalions. This will involve lance leader skill checks in things like Career Soldier and Leadership checks.

Options
1. Take a contract (probably JUPITER..)
2. Wait until July

[deadlyfire2345]

Waiting might give us better options and time to do some refits.

No strong preference between the 2 options. I still like TOWER STRIKE, but I can appreciate the danger of heavy enemy air cover.

My issue with the first is the very little salvage that we do get will be outright swapped I'm assuming if it's anything lvl 2. I know we get 40% but how does swapping actually work if we salvage several mechs Also the blc is low as well as the payout compared to tower or even justice renegotiate the transport and get 100% tho and it would make it more worthwhile since I'm assuming we would get double the transport cost currently there I assume

Justice is a bit risky but 100 blc with huge payout if we pass contract which would knock a huge chunk from dropship fund

Same arguement for tower but respecting air support makes me shy away from this one since we dont have the full air wing yet plus it can target our arty a lot

These would be the 3 I would choose from with all 3 having pros cons and no definitive clear number 1

I definitely respect the annoyance and damage the TFS could do but the contract is also 3 months long vs. JUSTICE's 9 months and green vs. regular opponents and the inherent weight advantage for planetary assault opponents...

Tower Strike looks good to me. Short contract, good money.

[Ice]

i forgot about the bonus for planetary defenders weight class

may as well drop that one out and leave tower and jupiter

i would say the green opponents 30 mil or so plus salvage in a rather short time with b rated gear isnt a bad option minus the aero support

jupiter takes 2-3 times longer than tower for about 20 mil more in profit with a little less worry although we are defending and training FNG who wont know left from right in a mech plus any objectives that pop up
