Keyguyperson Welcome to Cyberhell

Member Seen 5 mos ago

Here in the near-ish future I'm going to add another ship. It'll be a unique to the trader security forces vessel, a police frigate more or less, I intend it to be one of those, "most prolific and recognized warships around" type things. It's not going to be a huge monster ship of the line or anything.. but just something that I was imagining that would make sense for a trade nation aside from their dedicated ship killer (which is obvious far rarer).
That sounds good, so far, there hasn't been any ship that universally screams "I shoot stuff". It'll be nice to have a warship that everyone knows is a warship. After the war, the Terrans might enter the whole trade scene. I'm sure people would be interested in purchasing some fine Terran products. Hell, I'll bet they could come up with some pretty useful stuff with all their insanely advanced psychics knowledge. Provided they can keep a hold on it, of course. Maybe they just never sell to magic species, thus giving all of them a trade dispute casus belli so they don't lose stability when they declare war.

I posted my NS just now in the Character bin, Keyguy, Monkeypants, and anyone else who'd like to take a look. Keyguy, I did add a few things, but if editing is in order I will be glad to do so ^_^

Yoshua, I'm not the gm obviously but what you have I think is pretty solid and kudos for staying away from antimatter. And your question of navy size. I get the impression that you go for simplicity over dedicated warships. I can see you having a large, numerous all purpose navy but it wouldn't be particularly strong in any field. At least, that's my input.

That's likely very accurate MP (hopefully you don't mind me calling you that ahaha...) as Legion doesn't really need to have their ships, at least initially, specialize in any single area. So yeah, all-purpose navy sounds good. I'm going to go with somewhere between medium and large in size since the Collective is prepared for conflict, but would rather stay out of one if at all possible. I appreciate the input :)

Make contact with me! The trader state isn't one to send emissaries out. Can't afford to peel away their defense force to do that kind of stuff. But their massively open area enables alot of options. They don't really have a set border but rather a recognized region. They'd likely see military ships and privateer often (the latter of which they sometimes employ.) so a couple ships wouldn't result in a red alert situation. Send a fleet however... Anyway, come one come all. Oh! With how open they are, I'm sure they have met your nations or members of them before so no need for that whole first contact flashing lights and symbols crap. Unless that's what you want.

In what matter shall the contact occur good sirs(?)? Do you want Legion to have their first contact with a random ship of yours, or would you prefer one of their ships comes out of the Quantum tunnel it's currently in (that's primarily how their ships travel till they reach their intended destination) due to detecting resources, or noticing excessive "activity" that they deem worthy of investigation. - - - - -

Hmm, so how would they feel about a massive capital ship suddenly emerging into their region of space? Hopefully that wouldn't be deemed a threat since the thing will be "alone" and unarmed when it exits presuming nothing attacks it.

No worries, just waiting for the go ahead, though I'm almost certain I'm already accepted since I've only added the Spires or the like, which are well within Legion's ability to produce.

I did post it in the character bin you realize, which is perfectly accessible. If that is not enough I can post it here as well. I also had Keyguy look it over and accept it prior to posting it, I just had to add a few bits in the "other" section of the NS.

I'll get a post written up later. Yoshua, that'd be fine. I figure there would be massive super tankers or such that would come through. Also, if its unknown, you'd get a rapid response forces attention but they aren't the shoot first types I mean, they could be potential allies later. Diplomacy for the win. Friends = profit.

Double post for shock and awe! The hau are sidelined right now. I put them on standby for later use if I want. The group in use is the ahman sul group further down the ns list. Sorry for being not clearer. Luckily its early and easily fixable!

That sounds interesting, should be neat to see how much time it takes Legion to shift gears and utilize the same language as your merchant nation. Should be fun to see how both sides react to one another, plus it's almost for sure they'll send those response forces since Legion vessels are very likely like nothing they've seen before.

No problem. Hope I didn't come off the wrong way, I can get quite blunt sometimes ^^;

alright, I added the Enforcer warship to my Trader NS. A neat but nasty little, easily recognizable warship! Aaaand.. It isn't quite the best post I have published but I had some fun writing it and that's all that matters.
