Ok folks, got a post just went up that I forgot to do tags for, let me know if any of the mission briefing section is unclear at all. Any confusion whatsoever let me know!
Here's a picture of the pirate ship we're attacking for visualization, just the big one, not the small ones:[url]https://pre00.deviantart.net/ffa0/th/pre/f/2008/159/5/5/space_battle_trials_1_by_ere4s3r.jpg[/url]

The 3 squad breakdown is as follows (including Maelstrom NPCs)
Stealth Squad: [@Xandrya][@Silver Carrot] with NPC Kira
Main Attack Force: Grayson and SAL [@Dark Light][@Dealdric][@BKburke][@Azereiah][@Simple Unicycle] (unless you'd rather stay with the ship and help pilot, get back to me and let me know) plus NPCs: Marcus, Vulcaan, Ian, Lataniva, Joe
Staying on the Ship to Pilot/Man Guns: [@Banana] [@Tickout] [@baranica] plus NPCs Juli Jen, and Seth. I suppose part of Ren would still be active to help with the guns too, unless you want to fully commit to being part of the ground team, up to you Azereiah.

[@t2wave][@Hawlin] The stuff above doesn't really apply to you guys, since you're still over on the station with Carver and Stryker. Just wanted to tag you guys so you'd get notified of this last bit:

I'm gonna be away tomorrow. Got an appointment in the city to go to, so that's gonna take up my whole day. So to that end, I'd like to get a second post together a little later tonight before I go to bed, one that puts us right at the start of the mission, so if any of you guys are able to throw up a reply within an hour or 2, it'd be greatly appreciated!
