Skaraborg requests are for facilitating for repairs.  The Highlander (refitting from DHS to SHS) and Thug (instead of the Zeus - Stripping for locations) will be donating parts for the Awesomes.

Skaraborg is 3N, 1P.  The Thug is being stripped to provide parts for the rest (I need to replace several sections I don't readily have spares of and six weeks whereever we wind up is going to be pushing my techs hard.

I for sure have 3 working on in transit for repairs

Depending on what space is left

I gave 3 mechs I'm wanting to mod

The griffins basically swapping or dumping new configs with an xl going into one
The javelin is a simple refit that can be done in route to next world

On Skye I certainly know a few people who could be of use to us...is Hesperus an option?  Also, If we're seriously considering Coventry I'd ask if we take the extra week and just head to Tharkad directly.

From a role play perspective, I would argue for Sudeten. It is already several jumps to the interior of the FC. Surely we have confidence in the FC's ability to beat back pirates? We are talking about pulling back as far as we are due to foreknowledge, not any kind of in universe information.


If anything, we should be much more confident than historically because of how well we did by compsrison.

From an RP perspective I’m not against Sudeten from a mech repair/ refit perspective. I found at least one reference to it being a backwater planet and out of the way. In addition to mech refits we’re also looking for contracts and a new Overlord.  I think those are going to be harder to find there than other places.

Tharkad doesn’t produce much in the way of Battlemechs if any in 3050 and priority would likely go to Noble’s at inflated prices. Or rather we’d get inflated prices because of nobles getting priority.

One thing I want to make clear is I tend to focus on what’s in universe appropriate, in character knowledge and what makes a good story.  Go read Atayde’s history or ask Rob if you have any questions or doubts about me adhering to those principles.

I will go with what makes sense even if it’s mechanically sub-optimal. My lance has invested in being night specialists where outside of bad luck will not come into play in any group game. It’s like having no SPAs at all.  I’m fine with that. It’s the concept I picked and only really affects me.

If it made sense to go into the FRR I would have been open to it. The limited data we had as a unit didn’t support going Coreward (North).

In character Atayde would vigorously disagree with these Jade Falcons being “pirates.”  Pirates could find an SLDF cache, sure. They could be highly trained, true. Showing up with a large number of unseen designs, with weapons that don’t match any known profile and a friggin warship?  They ain’t pirates. He’d lean more towards a covert DC military unit especially given the tendency to duel.

If I start using OOC knowledge feel free to call me on it. I looked hard at Pandora, but the weapons manufacturers there were listed as producing low quality work, so that was out for me.

If Rob indicates that from an in game perspective we shouldn’t have issues looking for an Overlord or quality contracts on Sudeten, then I’d be fine with that choice.

Any good customizations to the Shadow hawk. First thing is max armor and Max JJ. That leaves 16 tons to work with.

In addition to mech refits we’re also looking for contracts and a new Overlord.  I think those are going to be harder to find there than other places.

1) Rules-wise, there's no difference in where you are on those things, only when you are and the whims of the computer
2) Fluff-wise, there's no difference in where you are on those things.  Finding an Overlord is a matter of luck, not location, and strictly speaking, contracts go through Outreach (even more strictly speaking, technically you can only get a contract through the MRBC if you're personally on Outreach, but that's stupid a literally nobody has ever played the game that way), making your location regarding that a moot point.
