I Became a Commander in a Crappy SF Game.

Ch.485″You hahaha what you hahaha want hahaha doesn’t hahaha come hahaha out hahaha again.”

by fnovelpia

Of course, if someone had been watching this situation at this point, they probably would have predicted it with high probability…

After boldly rolling approximately 120 pulls, including what I obtained through quest rewards.

<S-rank ‘Lilac-class’ Medium Destroyer x1>

<S-rank ‘Bristol-class’ Anti-Air Destroyer x1>

‘Teeeng.’

“Why, why does this always happen at times like this!”

“Still, your purification ritual wasn’t completely meaningless. You got two destroyers, didn’t you?”

Instead of the “heavily armored big sturdy friend” I wanted, two miniature destroyers popped out.

The problem was that these two ship classes were far from the “evasion tanks” that destroyers were supposed to be.

“Jessica, Jessica, those two ships aren’t the evasion tanking style.”

“Oh, then what are they?”

“The Lilac-class has Xenovia-Shield, so it’s a ‘pure tank’ style that can withstand one volley from a regular-grade medium cruiser.”

“Oh my.”

“And the Bristol-class isn’t an evasion tank but an anti-air ship that intercepts aircraft and missiles.”

“I see…”

One was indeed a pure tank, but being just a destroyer-class, it was meaningless for fleet defense.

The other was neither a pure tank nor an evasion tank but a floating escort ship, so I couldn’t help but have such a sad reaction.

Of course, in response to my reaction, Jessica tilted her head again with a puzzled expression.

“Commander, there’s something I’m curious about.”

“What is it?”

“Since our fleet’s actual main force and tanking will be done by mercenary groups we hire for each battle anyway, is there really a need to pull tanking ships just for our main force?”

“…”

At this point, I realized that I had never told Jessica why I wanted to pull tanking ships.

“Sit down here, Jessica.”

“Uh, ah, yes?”

“I’m going to fill you in on our fleet’s pathetic situation.”

==========

After cramming everything I’d been thinking about into Jessica’s head…

“Now I understand why you’re so fixated on tanking ships, Commander.”

“I’m glad you understand.”

“I just thought you were suddenly obsessed with big guns and big ships again like before.”

“…”

She realized that there could be times when we couldn’t use mercenary groups as a strategy, like in this event…

And in that process, if mercenary groups were forcibly made unavailable…

With all my main ships having serious defensive flaws, the only things that could protect them, excluding regular-grade ships assigned to the main force…

“Are Commander Lephan’s Rodos Mercenary Group and Aquarias’s Avalonia Security Fleet.”

“And even combining the forces of those two places, they’re less than my fleet, which is the problem.”

As I showed Jessica the power charts of the two fleets that I had already displayed…

Jessica couldn’t hide her gloomy expression as she looked at the situation.

“It’s definitely… too small.”

“Even combining the two fleets, they’re less than my base fleet points.”

That’s why my direct fleets haven’t been able to play active roles whenever large-scale battles occurred.

“Combining the two fleets… it’s about 700 points.”

“That’s right.”

Although the overall performance is excellent thanks to the buffs granted by the “Master Tactician” trait of the two fleet commanders…

To be frank, it’s barely on par with the fleet power of a level 6-7 user, so you can imagine how bad it is.

Moreover, the biggest problem was that since the ships used by our mercenary groups were only “regular grade” ships…

Against the so-called “gacha ships” that users deliberately build up or that each faction operates as their main force…

…no, against high-grade ships with at least S-rank or higher, they would inevitably appear extremely powerless.

If you search for “mercenary group” in the gallery right now…

Title: Honestly, I’m not afraid of Icarus deploying mercenary groups

They’re all regular grade anyway

Due to balance issues, mercenary groups all use regular grade ships

When they go head-to-head with SSS-grade ships of the same class, they just get beaten up, so many people aren’t afraid of 1:1 battles

-[But that’s not the issue with Icarus’s mercenary groups]

-˪[Ah shit, wanna taste unlimited mercenary groups?]

-[<Image of over 1 million mercenary group ships attacking the Jormungand-class and its subordinate fleet.jpg>]

-[War is about quantity]

-[And even regular grade doesn’t have that much performance difference from SSS-grade, right?]

-˪[‘All’ performance doesn’t have an overwhelming difference, but ‘some’ performance does]

-˪[The devs are good at playing with words]

-[Do we even need to go to SSS? Even S-grade makes a significant difference if it’s not battleship-class]

-˪[Agreed]

-˪[Why are girls suddenly popping up?]

-˪[This game has always been played by both girls and guys]

The performance gap between regular-grade ships and S-grade or higher ships was so obvious that people would openly talk about it like this.

“That’s strange. In the past, they said the basic performance difference wasn’t that significant.”

“People often play word games with contracts, you know.”

“Ah.”

“That’s exactly it.”

Regardless of my personal preferences, it was now time for this fleet to have at least an SS-grade pure tank style large and beautiful super-sized ship, whether I liked it or not.

==========

And the gacha I rolled to fulfill that need screwed me over as usual due to the desire sensor, but…

Fortunately, both destroyers that popped out were S-grade, so they could be sold on the trading market…

—————————————-

<Seller: Icarus>

<S-grade Lilac-class Medium Destroyer, just obtained>

—————————————-

<Seller: Icarus>

<S-grade Bristol-class Anti-Air Destroyer, just obtained>

—————————————-

When I listed them on the trading market as “immediate sale” rather than “auction,” and deliberately 5% cheaper than the market price…

Just 15 minutes after I listed them on the trading market.

—————————————-

<Event>

<2,600 Gold has been deposited into the Commander’s storage!>

—————————————-

They sold instantly, and my gold finally reached six digits.

Seeing this, I decided that since things had turned out this way, I would look for a usable pure tank ship on the trading market.
