Tactics, 8/20

Without so much as a 'good morning, class', Jim pulled up a ship to appear above the student's heads. He really enjoyed the Danger Shop too much.

"This is the Kobayashi Maru. She is a crippled civilian vessel that Star Fleet has ordered you to rescue from the Klingon Neutral Zone. Of course that does mean crossing from safe space to hostile territory to reach and evacuate them before you're discovered and then attacked by Klingon forces."

The ship stayed where it was, but was joined by another one slowly moving toward it as if to rescue the wee people aboard. It was interrupted as five more ships blink into existence to begin shooting.

"As you approach, several Klingon Birds of Prey uncloak, appearing around the Kobayashi Maru and begin to attack. You're completely outnumbered, outgunned and your shields won't hold for very long. There is no chance for other Star Fleet ships coming to your aide as you're the only one in the sector. So. I want you to tell me how you would win this simulation."

"If the crippled ship doesn't have any life signs, maneuver behind it and then open the frequencies to request a negotiation," Danny replied after some thought. "If the crippled ship is important to them, they won't fire on it. And if it isn't, it at least acts as a shield.

"Otherwise, I would try to take them out as quickly as possible, and using as many evasive maneuvers as I could in order to save the shield for as long as possible. Maybe try to make them crash into each other."
