Correct.
Hate to spoil the fun here, but lets try to keep these kind of posts at the discussion forum. I don't mind you adding a silly comment here and there, but we want to keep this topic as episode II-related as we can. Sound alright? Good.

**Sorry, but you just can't have countless missile frigates be destroyed from the wake of the explosion. it would take time for the hull to explode, and the frigates would retreat maybe 1 MF from Skyblades fleet and 3 for UE Crusader's.

Hmm...Maybe you should go back and read the edited version of my post at Levo. Mac stated that you weren't even at Levo yet, and as my updated post remarks, Mac's fleet is in bad shape at the moment from the large numbers of HC warships. Both UE Crusader and I are there at the moment.
So basically, you haven't lost any ships yet. You haven't even engaged in the battle according to Mac, so you never lost your carrier in the first place.

OK, everyone, stop. As I mentioned in the discussion thread, this battle is getting too confusing. The battle is temporairily locked. Captain Skyblade and I will work some things out via e-mail, and will make appropriate posts when we have things sorted out to our satisfaction.

Mac- You're right. It's time for the Battle of Levo to come to an end.
= = = = =
"Crusader, losses are too high. We're going to have to withdraw."
"I completely understand sir," came the reply from Crusader's carrier. "Awaiting orders."
"Crusader, you head for Rigel. I'll cover your hyperjump while your fleet gets out of this deathtrap."
As Fleet Commander Crusader's fleet began to drift toward the perimeter of the Levo system, the 20th Warfleet made a fierce, almost suicidal, counterattack against the aliens. Admiral Skyblade took the Veratan into a direct duel against a destroyer.
Losses continued to mount, but the aliens were receiving their fair share. The Human Confederation had now discovered alien battle tactics, and routing the ponderous warships and sluggish fighters was no longer a task for the aces.
Skyblade's fleet was forming a defensive barrier as the aliens attempted to strike at Crusader's fleet, now beginning to enter hyperspace. Skyblade watched an amazing yet terrible sight from the Veretan. Such a battle would have put the Rebel / Confederation battles fought years ago to shame. In a small amount of time, the Admiral watched as three of his supercruisers destroyed a disabled battlecruiser. While the battlecruiser was exploding, 1 cruiser and 5 Destroyer M5s of the 20th Warfleet were surrounded by a pack of destroyers and decimated. Missile frigates and mantas were seen blasting heavy fighters from behind, and alien cruisers were feasting on the ospreys. It was a sight never to be forgotton...
"Sir," the radar officer reported, "Sensors indicate the Crusader's fleet has just successfully entered hyperspace to Rigel. Now it's our turn to get out of this mess."
You've got that right," Skyblade replied. "Order the fleet to withdraw. Tell our Mantas to remain and harass the aliens while we get the bulk of our fleet to Rigel."
As the Veretan turned away from Levo along with the rest of the 20th Warfleet, the aliens began to make counterstrikes. The mantas however, following their orders, began to zip along the warships, blazing away with their weapons. Though the manta couldn't seriosuly wound an alien warship even in packs, the fighters were doing an excellent job of distracting most of the enemy fire.
As the Veretan's warp engines engaged, the vessel received numerous seeker drones from the side. By the time the Veretan had entered hyperspace, the vessel's shields were down to 23%. Within minutes, now a single operational Human Confederation vessel was in Levo, leaving the system in aliens hands. The mantas that had remained behind to harass the aliens had now left for Rigel as well. Although the aliens had technically won the battle, the humans had learned a great deal about fighting aliens. One day, this could prove vital in future battles.
Fleet losses during this post:
-
The Sabre, seeing the HC fleets leaving, very quickly hypers out towards Darven.
------------------
"Why should I boast? The bards will do it for me -- and with music."
--Ertai, wizard adept -
UEC sends his damaged Carrier to Rigel, so it can get repairs. This'll likely take awhile....fleet is down a Carrier for the moment.
------------------
-
"Crusader, I think you deserve a promotion for your service today," Skyblade says as he takes a seat at Crusader's table on Rigel. "You played the ropes perfectly at Levo, and though we technically lost the battle, I probably wouldn't be here if it weren't for your arrival. How does a five star fleet commander sound?"
= = = = = = = = = =
HCNN- "The Human Confederation has just promoted fleet commander Crusader to a five star level. The HC Navy announced that although they lost the battle at Levo, Crusader's arrival in the system forced the aliens into a longer battle, inflicting more loses. In other news, Camd-"

Why take that much time and go to Rigel when a state of the art military base is ready to repair your ship. Send your carrier to Rigel Wardock and get it stripped and partially rebuilt for free. Limited time offer, restrictions apply...

Negative. Should the Human Confederation group its forces at a single location, our border worlds will be more exposed to alien attack. For the moment, standby at Centauri. In the near future, I may send you to Capella with ErsadtSF's fleet...

Skyblade, I still think you're totally misinterpreting what Clueless's fleet would do at Levo. We need to finish working this out by e-mail (I re-sent the map as a .jpg) and will probably have to nuke the battle back to the point where UE Crusader arrived. From what I've seen, this doesn't look fair to the Aliens at all. I guarantee that Crusader would have lost at least one if not both of his Carriers, if the Aliens had gotten a chance to play this correctly. We've gotten basically no representation at that battle since Crusader arraived. If we can't work this out, I'll probably be going the way of the pirates. I'm not saying I'll leave unless we win, but I will unless we get a chance to show how our side runs the battle.

"Admiral Rak," Tasha began, "As ordered EsadtSF's fleet is now stationed in Capella and we shall arrive in 1 hour ourselves." "Thank you, dismissed." Rak replied. Looking at the fleet information pad, Rak felt reassured of his plight against the Aliens.
