SALVAGE SPACE: MASS VEHICLE CONFLICTS
Massed vehicle conflicts rarely occur in the far-flung moons and asteroids of the Niecti star systems.
Most engagements involve small groups of vehicles from task force dispatched for specific missions.
Whether piloting vehicles independently coordinating with other Adventurers as crew of a larger vehicle the Adventurers could choose among these common tactics in a multi-vehicle conflict.
☐ WITHDRAW / ESCAPE
The Adventurers may have no stake in the events or conflict and simply seek to withdraw from the impending or erupting mass conflict.
This may lead to Chases if the opposition infers or detects the attempted withdrawal or escape too early.
☐ SCOUTING MISSIONS
The Adventurers may deploy one or more vehicles collecting, relaying, or analyzing information or “intel” valuable to one or more factions party to the conflict.
Scouting missions may expand a force's sensor baseline through positioning, or place the Adventures in or beyond the conflict front-lines and expose them and their vehicles to hostilities including sensor suppression.
☐ DIPLOMATIC MISSIONS
The Adventurers may open, carry, or contribute to diplomatic exchanges between factions of the conflict.
The Adventurers may provide transportation or security for diplomatic missions.
☐ SUBTERFUGE OPERATIONS
The Adventurers may act covertly to undermine, hinder, distract, or misdirect one or more factions in the conflict.
The Adventurers may trigger or participate in staging vehicles to create feints or lure opponents into compromised positions for counter-attacks.
☐ SUPPORT / SUPPLY OPERATIONS
The Adventurers may provide support or supply operations in the face of and despite determined or hostile opposition, such as delivering critical supplies or search and rescue operations.
This includes smuggling operations through or past enemy held positions.
☐ SABOTAGE MISSIONS / BATTLES
The Adventurers may carry out harmful or destructive sabotage actions, assassinations, or join into battles against one or more of the factions in the conflict.
Hopefully the Adventurers prepare for the worst for themselves and their vehicles before engaging head-to-head.
Space does not forgive mistakes.
