Automation: Helf.On.The.Shelf

[Exodus-Freight]

In the darkened depths of Vespucci was a single legion activist named Leonidas.

Over time he has worked on a project that has now come to life. He calls it: Helf.On.The.Shelf

- Is an automated attack battleship who's purpose is to keep liberty forces under constant attack in order to learn and adapt to the response calls and defensive systems.
- It's hull plating consists of nano-magnetic fibres capable of regenerating and reconstructing the whole ship within moments of its destruction.
- Is captain free, due to its internal program-abilities remotely it requires no crew.

Leonidas is currently on the look-out for way's to make his project stronger and quicker in order to beat the system and overthrow liberty forces with ease.

It is hoped that he will be able to manipulate this with his recent discovery of a commodity called Scientific Data and what they can be exchanged for which is upgraded "Code-name" weapon(s) and various other additions from the Black Market.

**Notes:
Nothing can be learned from Liberty Forces, So effective immediately it it going to be a good idea to pull Helf.On.The.Shelf back into Kansas so it can actually learn evasive/aggressive maneuvers from missions in Kansas System which will be critical to it's artificial understanding of combat.

Target ID: Navy
Call-sign: 5th|LNS-Vermont


A.I Analysis...

Encountered ID: Navy
Call-sign Recognized: 5th|LNS-Vermont.
Automatic Weak Point Target: Rear Engine Quadrant

When encounter was made with hostile target Defensive Stance was activated when incoming fire was detected.

Upon entering Defensive Stance A.I proceeded to engage with Navy at full capacity.

[Further Logs] - Restricted Access


Notes:

After observing the logs of combat, clearly Helf is not prepared for the combat capabilities of Liberty.

I've gone into detail on the instance and noticed Helf has issue's when the target is either too close or too far, Optimal range seems to be around 500m-1,250m

Now will be a good time to seek out and upgrade the loadout to gain the much needed advantage in further instances.

A.I Analysis...

Encountered ID: Police
Call-sign Recognized: LPI-BW-Excelsus.
Automatic Weak Point Target: Port Side Front Quadrant

When encounter was made with hostile target Aggressive Stance was activated when Hostile Signature was detected.

Upon activating Agressive Stance A.I proceeded to engage with Police at full capacity.

Notes:

After observing the logs of combat, Helf needs a full refit, response and co-ordination time altering.

I've gone into detail on the instance again and noticed Helf decided to take the Police target with a Head-On approach. This failed drastically by the damage sustained on first contact.

I will rewrite the Aggressive Stance protocols and see if that makes any difference.

Notes:

After observing the logs of combat, Helf performed exceptionally well utilizing the new protocols made on Agressive Stance.

I've gone into detail on this instance and noticed Helf decided to take the Police target with a Direct Assault approach. Forcing the Police to turn around and head towards the Medium White in the middle of the system, without realising what was infront of them Helf was able to capitalize on this and force the Police Battleship into the Medium White Corona leaving them defenceless trying to escape it.

Notes.

After learning about this Unknown technology and Helf's ability to regenerate so quickly, Now would be a great time to further explore the unknown parts of Sirius Sector and attempt to grow Helf's learning of unknown Identity's and unfamiliar combat styles. I have heard about the Omicron's and bordering Systems but never seen them personally as this is unknown territory to me. I have now programmed Helf to go further than its normal boundaries and hopefully gain some insight into what exists so far out of reach.

Notes:

After learning about this LSF base in the New York System and confirming its presence I have decided to recall Helf back to Veracruz in order to Refit it with this new EMP Weapon I have constructed. After trial and error I have also managed to create a secondary project which will be called Elf.On.The.Shelf to fly along with Helf and cause collateral damage with any issues they may encounter.
