Nevermind.

And for a final statement before I go to sleep since it's late as shit, let me remind you that Sazkarjhia has to send fleets en masse as its weapons are not as powerful as others. When originally fighting the Ethereals there was heavy fleet losses, and assuming that there are other enemies more ferocious it uses many more ships, usually heavily armed, to compensate for it.

Hmm.

Well that's cool- my apologies for saying overpowered.

Keyguy, you don't have a main character aboard that ship do you?

Your guys are in for a rude awakening when they get to that shuttle duck, I just dont know when that will be.

I still don't know why your so intent on attacking the scout ship. Its not even that valuable, destroying it or the shuttle will have zero effect on the the future of the Eternal Union.

Its war man, they see a target and they want to destroy it. They just happened to be at the right place at the right time.

Going to sue for peace through the Alari soon, and have the shuttle pilot over hear something that might make the Septonians think twice about warring with the EU.

What would that be, and I doubt it will change their minds. In their minds, you attacked a Salvage team while trying to extract tech and their men off an unknown planet. They really arent going to be so keen on listening to what you have to say.

The fact that there is a large parasitic hivemind intent on consuming everything? And the Ethereals who keep on killing god knows how many civilians and turning htem into horrifying creatures.

How believable do you think "alien parasite which causes zombies" and "ghosts which are running round murdering shit" are without seeing it first time? I'm willing to bet they'd want hard proof...

I dont think that would be too convincing, they have other allies and can make other allies that will help them with those threats. Unless there are formal peace talks and a declaration of guilt, I doubt anything will come of overhearing that.

and Darkwolf is right^

Which is why I am going to the Alari. The will be shifting a lot of blame onto you however.

You can, but then its more of he said/she said type thing. The Septonians have video and radio records confirming their innocence.

What about the whole ignored attempts at diplomacy and then laughed at the attempts to communicate, and also ignored warning shots and landed shuttles, which is by any reasonable defention considered a invasion? The EU has video and audio proof of that as well. Both parties are to blame here.

They dont understand your language and are immune to your "spell". You approach a dazed and scared crew and they tell you to go away. So you get a loud speaker and play the same message on repeat, so they tell you to shut up. This is funny to the crew who is already in a shit situation, which is met by opening fire.

Also, did you escort me aboard your shuttle? or did you just come onto mine?

You were escorted aboard mines. And how are they immune to the spell?

Different species respond to magic differently, your "translation spell" just registered as an odd feeling in their minds. Possible magic resistance? Maybe sensitivity?! Only time will tell in the RP. When we were on New Condia, I typed that they didnt recognize it.

Mine are immune, because I don't want you taking the easy way for everything. Same thing for him. Different biologies, different races. It may work with brains that are very similar, but the Septonians might have an entirely different brain structure, and without knowing, spells wouldn't work. Same with Valkians, in my opinion.

YOU are at fault for half the wars you're in; the only one you're not at fault for is the Draconians and the Etherals. The Etherals wanted to take something from your colony; barred them. That's understandable. The Hivemind asked you for food; you said no, you're all monsters, go away. The Septonians crashed- when they were too scared and too frightened to respond to your attempts, you decided to instead shoot them, instead of giving them room. You decided to INVADE humanity, so that's your fault.

Merfolk would hardly change anything in the war. Trying to shift the blame away from yourself won't change anything, and all it does is lower the reputation that you have with other nations.

EDIT: And if those shuttle pilots are a representation of what people do when they've got an active hostile race aboard their very small ship, then you WILL fail EVERY single battle.

Posted a response Duck, lets keep this moving. This could be interesting.
