Seeing as Eluia has quite a bit of money left over, I am sure he would be willing to pitch in quite a bit, especially if this was to become a regular strike force.

i'd be willing to say Eluia could know Tien Tubb (a sullustin engineer on nar shadaa he served in the mandalorian wars as a republic military engineer) he and his droids do upgrades on starships

Late to the commenting, but if the Shadow Hunter is going to be our baby, I don't mind chipping in, either.

And then there's always the chance to gain either a wealthy benefactor or loot credits from the Sith...Though, in truth, that might be my wifes dnd tactics rubbing off on me.  :P

its not as crazy as it would seem your taskforce has 12 aruk 36, stinger, 36 star saber plus your transport, plus 8 pelgia duplex command assault gunship that are launching this round against 222 sith fighters they badly outnumber you but need a minimum of 2 to 1 on your ships to have a chance plus some of those are likely to continue assaulting your capitol ships ships and not your ship

Starships are not a strength of mine in saga. If someone needs more power or something breaks I'll step in. Otherwise feel free to summon me to assist with utf checks.  ;D

I'm completely speechless right for a few reason, most outside of this game. I don't know how to run this encounter against that many ships. None of us made a pilot character, so we dont have a toolkit against this stuff. No idea how to go from here really

I have to agree. I mean it feels like no matter where I am I would be likely to hit something but I do feel like its a little more than we can handle. Only thing I could think of would be to use the asteroid somehow but I don't know how to do that.

Lets requisition A special pilot. If not then Looner can fill the slot When we reach Nar shadaa. Credits fix everything. In the meantime...let the assistance fighters take the brunt of the assault and charge headlong. This may not be an imaginative crew for maneuvers, but our mission is to board, not dance around with fighters. Charge the bastards!

I am interested to see the outcome of this.  I'm not terribly overwhelmed by the current situation myself (we have assistance from NPCs and a few tricks up our sleeves), although perhaps it would be better as a skill challenge rather than an actual combat (but maybe Khan has already thought of that).  I don't think we will escape unscathed, but I certainly don't see our immediate destruction.

I dont see us dying or the ship being heavily damaged, just never ran a heavy space encounter like this. I've done Mon Cal Cruisers vs ISDs, I've done squadron-based starfighter battles, but I've only read about this intense of a battle.

My head is at just run straight for the Sith Command Ship, but the that running straight into the "nest" With no shields, and low Ref and DR, we are sitting ducks. We would need a "net" of starfighters around us to act as a shield basically. I guess I'm think too much like a real-life commander who doesnt want to see every escort I have fragged so we can finish the mission, but its how this will go.

i considered a skill challenge but decided on a large battle. While the numbers look bad they are fragile fighters that take 1 hot 2 tops to bring down and will have a difficult time with the republic fighters
due to the inability to move through an enemy occupied square the current formation make them have to make medium to long range attacks to target you on the other hand you can move through squares occupied by your allies

an option to consider is to have blaze fly defensively (gives a +5 ref def -5 to hit as your gunners are all at +11 or higher you still have good odds of hitting and your defense would be much higher (i would go so far as to be willing to allow full defensive and still let the gunners make attacks (albeit at -10 to hit)
