Goal:
Destroy 35k cargo space of traders bringing supplies into Virginia
Details:
Stage 1: Scout the Virginia entrances and find good spots to hunt down the traders
Stage 2: Interrupt enemy supply lines by destroying 25k of supplies in spots designated in stage 1
Suggestions:
Stage 1 will require a scout flight of LFs, HFs or VHFs to general location of Virginia entrances in Texas and California. Detailed reports with suggestions of good hunting spots will be needed.
Stage 2 should be performed by bombers and/or SHFs escorted by some VHFs.
Notes:
Operation will be led by Ava "Rattler" Reed. Any requests she has regarding this operation, should be considered top priority.
Joshua Kent here, did a little scouting around last night. There are three Jumpholes/gates leading into the Virginia system. A jumpgate in the middle of a minefield in Texas (more on that later). A jumphole in California, located about 15k behind the jumpgate to New York. There is also one in Kansas, but I would not suggest that one, due to the fact that you have to go through Magellan to get there.
The Jumpgate in Texas is located just to the right of the Trade lane going from the NY Jumpgate to Planet Houstan, about halfway through. Located on the top of the Minefield is an opening, with a good amount of weapons platforms guarding it. It is not a good idea to hang around there. The hole in the mines does lead to the Jumpgate. If waiting for enemy ships there, it is a good idea to hide IN the jumpgate, because it cannot shoot you there, and the weapons platforms cannot reach you. Joshua Kent, signing off.
