I put up a big of a longer post this time around, and to the more experienced writers here I like to ask for some advice.I feel as if I got setting the scene down quite solidly but to me my characters lack much depth, or emotion. They seem very in-personnel and a bit cold, im wondering if you guys had any suggestions on writing them?

Grammar could use some work. There are some awkward sentences.

Tends to be the way I write things, and its hard for me not to do it like that without it seeming weird to me.

[So Boerd]

Anyone got any problem with the Condederation?

[null123]

I would accept it buttttt someone kinda of revoked my mod authority on the word of one person.

[Kyelin]

@duck
Sure thing. I thought I responded to it before, my bad.

[null123]

Fighters can have shields or armor, and allow them to resist the weaker weapons that would shred a missile. You fire a missile, there is a much better chance of the missile being shot down than a larger fighter with a variety of weapons, with possibly anti-CD and the ability to independently make decisions. It'd be more efficient to send in a couple squadrons to take out the CD and shield clusters after you've broken down the shields, and then focus fire on gaps in the armor, where communications, exhaust, or other devices or parts are sticking through. Primarily using capital ship weapons would be less efficient, though it may have better survival rates for pilots.

Fighters are a bit pricey for what your using them for however, it be better to use a anti-missile system. Fighters cost a bit more, espically if your using living pilots that need years of training. Shields can add on to the price.

My idea was to just build a ton of drones out of scrap metal/easy findable cheap metals with a thruster strapped on. They then be released in massive quantities from ships, easily blocking missiles and fire from weaker weapons. A lot cheaper to.

So Boerd I did notice a issue with your app... Humans haven't left the Sol system yet, so you will probably need to remove that. Unless we go with some kinda of hidden interstellar ship crashes or something or weird ass time travel.

[Kyelin]

Have to get back to work, talk to you all later. Will post tonight ^^

[So Boerd]

They were invited.

This duck person really seems to be abusing power. Is the OP still around? By the way, Kyelin, I am asking because I hope the first encounter with the Esurienti can be peaceful. They are built for war but war isn't their goal.

Unfortunately, the Gathering is largely hostile or at least indifferent of the other races. They, at best, will form a temporary alliance with those they can use.

Then they wouldn't be effective enough to bring down the defenses on a Valkian warfleet.

You are no longer gm/mod; it is up to darkwolf now. I am not saying you can't tell him about the infraction of history, but just about accepting and the like. In case you needed reminding, of course, as your, ah, friendly roleplay-neighbor.

Or you could skip the entire fighter thing altogether and just give your missiles shielding, armor and their own autonomous intelligence construct. Also, missiles accelerate faster than fighters. And deaccelerate faster as well. They aren't constrained by the limitations g forces force upon living pilots, and therefore outpeform fighters in maneuverability.

And they're cheaper than a fighter as well.

More than likely, AI will be better from a military and political standpoint. They are used in my Galtian republic for that reason.

[So Boerd]

Is there a map?

[Kyelin]

Not to my knowledge. Though it wouldn't be a bad idea me thinks
