@BlackBishop

What do the new arrows represent?

@rush99999

Oops, forgot to update the legend. It
is now.

[rush99999]

@BlackBishop

Maybe you could give us more than 2 hours to give our guys commands next time?

@rush99999

My bad. Had a hard time picturing anything other then "get in the hole" so breezed ahead to the last leg of the mission. We'll be wrapping up this mission today. Expect a debrief later today. If you have any parting orders for your troops as they enter the queens chamber go ahead.

@BlackBishop

Since I lost 10 troops out of 200, wouldn't that mean I would have 95% troop strength rather than 90%?

Just an idea for moving forward, (don't take my money away!) how about one person wins the contract, most likely the most suitable, and he negotiates how much he will pay the other players if they want to help.
It's just a bit unfair that I get as much but didn't do or risk as much.
I know you did mention bidding earlier.
This could add an interesting dynamic.

Also I owe 5% of 3000mc to Nought for transporting my fighter so throw 150mc of mine her way.

Otherwise you are doing a great job and I am thoroughly enjoying this!
:) please don't let it end any time soon!

@Dark Light

Your suggestion is bad and you should feel bad.

@Dark Light

@rush99999

Haha, awww :/ OK.
I will get to that in a minute. (feelin bad that is) Gotta check my other notifications first. But don't worry, it's on my list.

[BlackBishop]

I think what I'll start doing is give contracts a base rate for participating, then bonuses for certain objectives, kills, etc, so that there is incentive to contribute more forces, but there still will be lucrative contracts and bidding wars.

[rush99999]

@Dark Light

Now you've gone and done it. I hope you're happy with yourself.

[rush99999]

@BlackBishop

Quick Question: How long will it take for the 2 mechs that were wrecked in the last mission to be rebuilt?

[BlackBishop]

@rush99999 You can expect them back online for the next round of contracts (3-6 months)

[Dark Light]

@BlackBishop
Will the three month mission restrict us from the next round of contracts?

[BlackBishop]

@Dark Light It will, yes, or at least the forces you deploy to the contract (likely your frigate)

[BlackBishop]

Might be quiet over the weekend, but I'll try and be on to move things along when I can. Otherwise I'll be here monday to get these contracts rolling. Of course, feel free to IC if you can.

[BlackBishop]

Just so you guys know, I'm finishing up the corporate espionage contract for Dark Light before moving on to the current job board. Hopefully be done by tomorrow.

Hey welcome. If you're interested you can fill out a character sheet.

Character Sheet

Image (A portrait of your character, optional)

Name: Pretty self explanatory.

Date of Birth: Date of birth, yo. Our present time is 2995 C.E. (common era)

Rank: Your self appointed rank. As far as the federation is concerned, you begin the game as a commander, and offer promotions as you grow your company.

Bio: Some background information on your character.

Company Sheet

Image (Your company logo, unlike the character portrait, this is mandatory.)

Company Name.

Specialty: Stealth, hacking, ship to ship combat, etc. Basically a summation of your overall play style. This is no way intended to limit how you play but merely to help me determine your starting bonus.

Bio: Background information on your company.

* When we get to the point of writing ICs, try and have a thumbnail picked out for your forum avatar, most likely your commanders portrait or company logo, should be about 130x130 - 200x200.

The story is really just beginning, so you're getting in at a good time. Corporations typically hire us out to do there dirty work. We've hunted pirates in Alpha Centauri, killed space bugs on a frontier moon, and are gearing up to police a colony and go into deep space.

@SantosGabriel77 looks pretty good. I'll likely start you off with an extra fighter. Feel free to post in the character tab.

Hopefully I'll have time today to update stats and get the current contracts rolling. If not I'll do so tomorrow.

[BlackBishop]

Last week was pretty hectic for me, but back into my usual routine and eager to get this game back in gear. Stats have been updated and the current contracts are in the works. If you haven't signed up for one yet, be sure to send an IC message to ERIS and she'll put you in touch with a liason officer.
