Omega systems layout revision.

[Echo 7-7]

Rather than us taking on a Hessian base, could it be applicable to "churn" (as you put it) one of the existing bases into a Coalition one? Say a forward operating post in Omega-49? That way, the Coalition ID is still accessible (Like it was on Boa Vista) and it allows a good defense to Omega-52.

We have Ronne helping out on the O5 side and the vast emptiness of Omega-50 on the other. Personally dislike having a Corsair battleship one system away from 52, but it gives the Corsairs a good target to aim at and us something to stage an attack from.

I've changed my mind about that... the Hessians are going to hold on to their base in Omega-47 for now.

Also, since there's now a Coalition restart, I don't forsee there being any problems with repping new ships. If it's still a problem, the Coalition ID could still be sold on Lanzarote Base.

If defense of the Omega-52 Jump Hole is such a problem, I could potentially place a pair of static Typhoons there.


Aside; please keep in mind that FLCompanion doesn't draw the boundaries of nebulae on its maps, just asteroid fields. The Battleship Fes is actually at the far edge of the eastern nebula, not outside of it; the eastern asteroid field does not fill the entirety of the nebula. Likewise, the Poole and Omega-52 Jump Holes are at either end of the northern nebula.


On the subject of Zoners resisting the advance of the Coalition or Corsairs into the system: It's too late for that now. Even while it is an unpleasantly cold world, with night-time temperatures plunging well below freezing, Gran Canaria is still one of the best pieces of real estate in the entire Omegas. Negotiations have evidently proven ineffective, given the open confrontation over the planet in previous months. Conflict breeds activity.
