There isnt 202 ships around this one is there? Just a normal world with normal defenses?

Normal defences? In the EU, there is no such thing as normal defences... Dun dun duuuuun

Speaking of which, the original hivemind force had what, 40 to 50 forces, right Darkwolf?

And if a single fleet is 101 ships, with one of them being a Dreadnought, then why did you call in so much help, Duck? You outnumbered him 2 to 1. You made it seem like the fleet that was originally protecting NC was small, and underpowered. Then you got in about 120 allied ships from the Saz., and then 600 from the Terrans.

Darkwolf, how did you survive? Being outnumbered so much at enemy homespace would surely lead to death, especially if the defense station crews have already faced battle- this one is not nearly so deadly or threatening.

Post has been changed, waiting on your post Duck and yours Key.

Because there were many aspects of the battle which didn't add up. Now, lets drop new condria because we're all moving on and the entity of one species who performed it just declined into the random npc nation category.

Ignoring a problem is not fixing it.

Anyways.

KeyGuy, am I kicked/banned?
Y/N

If I am not, is anyone going to use actual time in their posts? Not just insta-prepare, insta-warp, insta-communicay, insta-detect?

I will still insta-warp and insta-communicate, cause my tech is capable of that.

When I saw wilsons post about not doing instant warping... I was finally going to post a ns.. But seeing as duck is still defying any ability to use tactics.

Such a shame...

Good enough. Thank you.

Although, this is the first time you've even taken notice of any of my posts. For the past couple days, my posts have gone by as if I hadn't said anything at all. Ignore much, are we? Not a single reference to me.

*shrug*

I am rapidly giving up on playing in KeyGuy's Star Empires sequels. Good stuff, but... too much freedom. America works, more or less, because we're all free! And yet... we still have rules.

Sorry for double post but I have a solution to that insta bs anyway. I'll post an ns soon.

Someone has to cancel out magic pony brony races.. :)

All of this so Wilson can sneak 100 starships into planetary systems without somehow being detected thanks to the unmatched efficiency of Draconian stealth technology and the illogical (and forced) stagnation of detection technology.

I'll be in favor of zero instantaneous communications and detection systems if FTL technology is removed entirely from the game and starships are restricted to bulky, dangerous and ungodly-expensive FAL drives.

Additionally, every warship doesn't need to be slapped next to a space station or docking station or whatever-the-fuck you're using while it's not in use or before it can be used for offensive or defensive action. Are you telling me leaving one out in space in a sort of 'standby status' is inherently impossible? I guess modern nuclear ballistic submarines have to wait twenty-four hours before they can launch their nuclear payloads in response to an enemy nuclear attack.

Or is arranging ships in line formations and forming into the space version of a wet navy fleet necessary to get something done in this roleplay?

Man I'm so slow at writing my first post >.>
Anyway, just because I don't want this to become a major issue later, may I use a wired-portal system to connect my systems like in mass effect? I was already going to keep up with that track, since my drives are still FAS.

Twisted, you're being fair than most. A wired portal system would work- they let you do ANYTHING, after all, from make insta-everything to being a 20th-century nation on a moon orbiting a gas giant.

There is magic, but no more ponies.

ic post duck!!!

i iz working on one
However massive biology papers that are for test grades come first.

Twisted, I had planned on a gating system. I figured it'd be pretty solid. Amongst other ideas.

I thought a good idea for the RP is that all ships can move FTL out side a solar system but inside it would be half light speed and no teleporting. (unless you have pre set gates. But this is a separate issue)

Reason why I say half light speed is that it only takes light 8 minutes to go from the sun to earth.

Working on my app now, the main description of the species may be a little lackluster. I'm having a hard time thinking of much more then 'They look a lot like insects, guys.'

I suggested that, that you can FTL to the edges of a system but not into orbit or something, at LEAST where warping out of orbit would destroy a ship [forcing someone to attack you within the orbit would force them to either commit to the battle, or go ahead and leave], but they all hated that too. The only point that they would agree to restriction is if people startin FTLing from the surface.
