He would totally fake mecha, and maybe a cap ship or two if he could, in formations that seem like protecting a major weapon (or a Princely flagship?). Make the fakes seem Important.

Hacet is the High Risk, High Reward guy.

And he has a backup plan if things go south. Probably multiple ones. I'm... not sure of what they are at the moment though. Any ideas?

They probably involve more classical "retreat under the covering fire of a dreadnought's cannons/ those same artie ships," quite frankly. Ogres are also primarily defensive assets.

Sounds reasonable. But I'm thinking there's going to be a Stirring Speech that encourages captured Imperials to pull "I'm taking you down with me!" and the option of taking suicide bombs of some kind with them just in case.

(he may or may not ask if a trusted soldier to volunteer to be captured in order to spread disinformation too)

This plan makes me have to ask: what's the "range" on Stone's mech-whispering abilities? Like. Can he TELL those are fake mechs or does he have to be within a certain distance? XD

(This might help explain some of his amazing fighter pilot-y skills if he's reading the OTHER guys' mechs, too, tbh)

I was imagining that to get a real read requires touching the mech, but a vague fuzz from a distance absolutely works, and Emodriver equipment could well extend that range.

It's too damn cool an image for him to go "something's wrong, those machines have no emotions" for me to reject it.
