Subject: Bases n' Bogeys
> ---------- Right, that's the exception that proves the rule, hence the S, M, L designations. Say under Mass 100 = Small, Mass 101-300 = Medium, and over 300= Large (adjust these as you will they're off the top of my flat ol' head). So yeah, you may kinda know, but never really know..... I vote for sized bogeys for installations, PSB rationalization by having lots of sensor sweeps for passive/active radiation, mass, whatnot. Most bases (relatively) easy to find. The ones that are hidden, well, then 'anything' goes. Even with the 'known' quantities, there are always surprises..... Report log 2217144 CSN FF34(Elint) DeWitt Clinton 18th NavFltIntGrp 10:23:35 Captain Lopez,A.A. (324-556-101a): Sensors, give me a tight-beam sweep of mass contact #32. 10:23:39 SenOp2gr. Paulson,T.S. (460-213-77t1): Yes Ma'am.... Scanning.... Mass near 270,000mt.... Energy Output.... Active 3700 s.u., Passive 5000 s.u..... Looks like one of their Delta-Two-Seven jobs, Ma'am, Military Traffic Access and ops control. 10:25:04 Captain Lopez,A.A. (324-556-101a): SenOp, reclass 'Mass #32' a hard contact with a D27 station. Statistics, Paulson? 10:26:21 SenOp2gr. Paulson,T.S. (460-213-77t1): Ummmm... Ma'am if I remember correctly they have an comprehensive anti fighter grid, and some small 30mkj Beamers but nothing else tactically significant. 10:28:46 Captain Lopez,A.A. (324-556-101a): Nav, get us in for a closer look. <<Edited>> 11:33:18 WepOp1gr. Burden,L.R. (335-901-1121): Launch Contact confirmed from Mass #32, er D27 Ma'am. Beginning autointercept calculations. 11:33:22 Captain Lopez,A.A. (324-556-101a): Good, man. Sensors, what do we have? 11:33:45 SenOp2gr. Paulson,T.S. (460-213-77t1): Incoming is a Magician Type Missile time to impact with standard drive burn, 13 minutes, give or take. 11:34:02 Captain Lopez,A.A. (324-556-101a): Weps, How's my autointercept coming? 11:34:12 WepOp1gr. Burden,L.R. (335-901-1121): Primary and secondary evasives are set and locked, Ma'am, intercept plan is set, guns are ready for missile targetting. 11:34:20 Captain Lopez,A.A. (324-556-101a): You may fire when ready Gridley. 11:34:35 WepOp1gr. Burden,L.R. (335-901-1121): Ma'am ? 11:34:37 Captain Lopez,A.A. (324-556-101a): Never mind. At your convenience, Mr.Burden, please shoot that missile down. 11:34:42 WepOp1gr. Burden,L.R. (335-901-1121): Yes, Ma'am. <<Recovered Transcript from CSN FF34's Black Box>>
