Interesting idea for a ship. Not sure it would actually work though. At those relative sizes the Count's ship would more likely be pushed off course than penetrated.

Eh, I think it might work. Space ships are meant to work in a big ass void, and these are using energy shields to do the heavy lifting. If you instead impacted with a super sturdy pointy blade ship. Eh, I'll allow it.

 

[Astra_Starwalker]

That ship just got penetrated!

They may explain it next chapter, but the idea behind the ship is that nobles like sword duels, so they designed a stupid ship with tough shields to board enemy noble ships to fight in melee. I think the story has them appear at least one more time, but very much a "noble's romance" type of ship. Not practical.

Honestly surprised it pierced through it. I got the impression they were a medium sized ship, not something on the scale of a fleet command ship, from reading.

 

[othtim]

ayyy what is that ship??? is it going to blow up? are there like, xenoforms in it to infest this ship? was it a targeted attack to kill someone at a certain place on the ship?? ughhh cliffhanger...

and add me to the list of people who have no idea about majong

It's actually a pretty brilliant tactic for the purpose in mind.

Why?

Because nobody is gonna fire on Granddaddy's ship while he and Chris are on it.

And leading up to the surprise attack, none of the other Imperial battleships made a move. Because the rules say that an Imperial ship can't fire on another Imperial ship unless they fire on you first. So while they were trying to figure out if the fleet really was friend or foe, in comes this boarding ship.

The boarding ship itself must have either been a secret one-off thing commissioned by the traitor, or an off-the-books black project by the Empire that this traitor somehow knew about. Otherwise, it should have been in the Krishna's databanks. So that even if Hiro didn't know what it was, Kirshna's computers should have.

The boarding ship's crew is probably all mercs or pirates in order to help minimize the plausibility of this traitor's involvement, and also allowing the other ships involved to claim innocence - "We were just there performing an exercise when that attack came out of nowhere!"

Their goal is obviously to kill both the Count and Chris. If they can't do that, then the next obvious thing is to overload the reactor on the Count's ship. And if they can't do that? Do it on the boarding ship instead, thus removing all evidence.

 

[NemesQ]

i think even if MC look into newer ship he would not going to find out this ship cause look at this , this ship basically one way ticket the do or die kind and logically thinking only the army would have these ship with limited info about them

i really dont think the boarding crew are merc and pirate , i think it might be his personal army in it cause this is an all in mission

Think that ship idea is like this : Have you play or at least see Henry Stickmin game? Especially the final one. One of the scenario is on space and one of the method Henry to successfully infiltrate the ship is changing his ship into mosquito mode which shown like in this manga. The idea is just ram the ship, make a hole, and ship’s crew get out to attack from inside

 

[Virtualplayer]

I don't know a goddamn thing about mahjong.

Best game for hate your neighbor tactics. Think a more nuanced Uno.

Each Asian country outside of China has it's own variant of the rules, same tiles. Very fun.

 

[welcome2atlantis]

That is a bizarre tactic for space battle :/

 

[Fiize]

Kinda weird when the space concepts in this manga portrayed in 2d like they got surrounded in circle shape. And somehow they make the ship without thrusters to go upward and downward which can be dodge if that the case

It's still not a great tactic against a superior or near-peer force, as while the boarding action is happening, the rest of the fleet can choose to decimate the attacker. Actually, if it's realistic, it will be in the defending side's policy/orders to do so.

Even if the uncle kills the grandpa and Chris, they won't have a fleet left to take down all the people who would rebel.

Then again, the uncle basically has no good option. Even if he wins, he loses.

That ship and tactic are best for assaulting a smaller force with a bounty that's needed alive.

Edit: And now that I think about it, it's probably just the uncle not thinking (too focused on the prize in front of him) his strategy needs to change from the last time he did it, because he's probably not realized this particular strategy that works against small force will not work well against a large force, despite being the same kind of mission.

Let me get this straight.

You're saying that the rest of the Count's fleet is gonna fire on the Count's ship, while the Count is boarded on that ship?

Because at this point, the only attacker is that boarding ship.

I already said before, until the Uncle's fleet of Imperial battleships makes an untoward move against the Count's fleet, then the Count's fleet cannot engage them. That's the rules of engagement when dealing with suspected traitors. Until they act otherwise, you can't fire on them because they are still technically your comrades.

 

[AusarKun]

Cant wait for stellaris dev to see this and put kamikaze ship type into the game.

No, the rest of the count's fleet is going to fire on all the surrounding attacking ships, leaving nothing behind for the boarding party to return to.

And let me get this straight: you think that ship ramming into them with a boarding party, with the knowledge of what the uncle has already done, is somehow not a declaration of war? That doesn't count as an untoward move? In what universe?

The other ships are identifiable as Imperial warships.

That boarding ship, though, has no identification, and no known class registry. It is a completely unknown ship with no known affiliation.

The Uncle's fleet can easily say: "What? We have no idea who's ship that is! We don't even know where it came from!"

Otherwise, not a single ship has fired a shot, except to try to destroy that boarding ship.

Remember: The name of the game here is "Plausible Deniability". So long as the Uncle and his Fleet can pretend to be innocent, they're in the clear. Everything else is literally circumstantial evidence.

If you still have trouble wrapping your head around that, then I'm done arguing with you.

If the uncle can assassinate the count and Chris and clean up the mess later, the count can clean it up later as well, since he'll have no trouble finding out the connections later on.

The Imperial fleet was unresponsive and let that ship in without firing a shot.

If you can't wrap your head around the count playing military and politics the way the uncle does, I suppose there's no helping you, either.

 

[Outflanks10]

Dam I don't think anyone was expecting a kamikaze attack.

Thanks hidamari for the translation

 

[Kidawesome55]

I'm going to guess and say that was a bait ship and chris and her grandfather are on a different one. Just guessing.

 

[Iamcheater]

I really wish they'd upload the full chapter instead of parts

Unless of course thats how the raws were released.

That's unfortunately how the raws get released... It's super frustrating.
