Was this deal with Drayson done via the TNO board, or IM?

Some of boths. It wasn't labeled as a deal. I asked for some ships to assist Perrin in Mon Calamari, she told me what she had avilable, and I took what I thought I needed out of that list.

Later on I returned the ships, and then I absorbed the ships from the remnant into my new Protectorate.

Does TNO have multiple copies of these ships?

Sure. At present we have 39 Reigns, 5 Vicstar Dueces, and 98 FCLFs. At the time of Mon Calamari, Drayson let me select ships from her protectorate, and use them at Mon Calamari. When I created my protectorate, and added my own ships, and absorbed the ones from the dissolved Csilla remnant, I returned Drayson's borrowed ships, or rather, cut them out of my manifest. I just recycled the names, is all.

Fine, you aren't using the ships in two threads.

Problems with your newest post.

1.I specifically said my fighters would stay away from your Fire Light Frigates, so they wouldn't have scored any kills.

Revised fighter losses:

TNO TIE Defenders:
5 destroyed before they retreated to the Fire Light Frigate
1 disabled, two destroyed while they were retreating
Total: 8

GC:
12 A-wings-destroyed
3 Disabled

2.My missiles would probably have hit your Reign while it was retreating. That would cause severe damage to it.

3.The Python would have been destroyed during the two minutes you were firing.

4.You had transfered power from your engines to shields earlier, so it would take at least one post to transfer the energy back, so you could actually make the jump to hyperspace. When you transfered that energy, I would cause severe damage to your ships. Not to mention your Illustrious were at a dead stop.

5.The Cobra definately wouldn't be able to retreat, because of the two post rule to retreat, and you had given it special orders that kept it away from it's job of retreating.

1) The TIE Defenders were recovered by the FCLFs. If some of them were destroyed or disabled while retreating, the FCLFs would have been able to fire on the fighters doing the job.

2) Then again, probaly not.

3) Not likely. There was a hole in her bow, and not much else other than scattered damage.

4) I didn't transfer all of the power from engines to shields. 60% at the most, which would mean slower sublight speed, not hyperdrive speed.

5) I ordered it to calculate a hyperspace vector after I sent it's on its mission. It had a jump vector calculated while it engaged the shuttles.

1)Fine, I have no fighters losses for that post, and neither do you.

2)Missiles travel really, really fast. Like 244 MGLT(at least). They would easily be able to cross the distance seperating our ships(since they are less then 5km apart).

3)It's hull was reduced to 20%. Meaning there are numerous holes in it, but one large one due to your missiles hitting your own ship.

4)It takes lot of engine power to simply get up to speed to make the jump to hyperspace. It isn't a magical thing where you travel at 40% flank speed and somehow make a jump to hyperspace.

5)Show me where you ever said anything about ordering any ship to plot a course anywhere.

I know im not in this thread, but just wanted to point something out... Theres no set speed you must reach to jump to hyperspace. Its not like Back to the Future where you need to get to 80 MPH to make the jump. The system works seperate from sublight movement.

I ordered all my ships to plot hyperspace courses out of the system after I ordered the Cobra on it's little detour.

Fine, no fighter losses.

Exactly my point Heir.

My missiles never hit my own ships.

I'll cede Python to you, in other words, destroying it, and have some of the missile hit the Reign before it jumps, causing moderate damage on the hull as well as obliterating the rest of the shields, but that's it.
