Fenway's Empire RP

[Iv121]

Hey ppl one question before we fall on the same stuff as before - correct fleet size. I believe that each star has a fleet to protect it (minimum, unless they were destroyed) and yea BTW it is not a good idea to send in all of your fleets because your home will be poorly protected, from guerrilla strikes to frontal mounted assault. I think each fleet should be lead by a dread, as for the other possible numbers of frigates, cruisers, corvettes, fighters and bombers I will let you decide. In general I think each fleet can have a specific number of points and you can decide how you distribute them among the different ship classes, each type of ship has it's own value in points (like fighter wings 1,bomber wings 2, corvettes 4 etc. )

Then as for damage to the fleet e can either keep track of all fleets which sounds dumb to me or reduce this amount of fleet points from above after the battle, annihilating the dread will annihilate the fleet but the point count will reset (the remains of the fleet will join the other fleets). That fleet value can recover over time, the speed depends on the economy. Also about fleet count bringing all of your fleets to one point wont ensure your victory because a clever opponent will narrow your fleet down at jump nodes.

Also don't forget (@ Tiel) that in general your ships are public info. Hell as it looks like there is a lot of data gathering up and if Fen is not going to organize it we will need someone or something else to organize it, I'll try to write that something just don't expect too much...

EDIT: Also the political can effect how fast you can tweak your other stats for example increase your economy or your military strength.

IMPORTANT NOTE: FOR SOME REASON THE ENCODER WRONGLY ENCODES DATA IN RANDOM CASES. THOSE CASES ARE QUITE RARE BUT DO HAPPEN OCCATIONALLY. REMEMBER THAT A VALID ENCODED TEXT WILL ONLY CONTAIN LETTERS , IF SOME OF THE WORDS APPEAR AS SIGNS OR SPACES FOR SOME REASON PELASE PRESS ENCODE AGAIN, I WILL LOOK INTO THE ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY FIX IT IN THE NEXT RELEASE.

[Jack Root]

OOC: The ones in my part of space sorry I badly worded that.

[Professor Fenway]

Alright jack, for this battle (and anyone else participating), you are to post the fleet fighting and their tactics (Spoilered and encoded with Iv's program on page 6-7). That's the rules.

I will be adding that- You must post the participating fleets and their sizes, as well as armaments for the ships and such.

Also LS- Accepted, but keep in mind your capabilities are limited, in ways.

EDIT: YOur fleet size does NOT need to be encoded because it's pretty much known already. Same with class and specs.

[Iv121]

Also what's wwith the fleet sizes ? See above ...

[Chairman_Tiel]

No, I just assumed everyone was making up ships like every past RP. Also, Iv, you really shouldn't convert encrypted data. Only the GM should be able to do that.

Ships involved -

Promethium class heavy cruiser:
length= 600m
weaponry= 80 heavy guass banks, 4 cruise missile launchers, 20 missilepads, 400 smaller weapon emplacements such as railguns and single-tube torpedo launchers. Each cruiser also carries a complement of eight clawcraft squadrons.
crew= 260
power= 20 megajoule nuclear reactor

Also don't forget (@ Tiel) that in general your ships are public info.

What. I thought the entire point of this was to post plans and have the GM decide how they play out, instead of doing what Jack is and telling the person how your actions will affect them, leading to conflict.

[Luna]

No, I just assumed everyone was making up ships like every past RP.

As long as the ship stats don't change from battle to battle I think thats fine.

[Iv121]

No the problem is not in stats, rather in a unified way to measure the strength of the ships you made, see last time it all fell apart when someone mobilized 80% of his whole population, put them in around 1000 corvettes and 30 dreads and went against my 1 dread and like 40 corvettes even though in that RP I invested in military too, it was lost battle from the beginning but when it figured that every single fleet had it's own idea of how many ships should be in one fleet it all fell apart.

As we start to battle again I ask fen to give a unified way to measure fleets or to simplify it for you how many corvettes would fit into a fleet. In order to simplify it even more (and if I have fighters and cruisers and frigates ?) I suggested to just give a numeric value and say "You can add any ships you want, this ship is worth this and that is worth that but make sure it won't add up to more than this number " . If Fen sets this number and gives a value to fighter wings, bomber wings, corvettes, frigates and cruisers we won't have this problem again.

Reeducation camp 135 was situated in an area abundant with natural beauty, like all other camps. It was positioned on a high, rocky bluff surrounded by forest-like groupings of plants. The inmates, a motley group of humans and other organic species, were given breakfast, then driven down to the nearby titanium mines, where they worked with light machinery and hand-tools to extract the ore. While they worked, they listened to a variety of Strgiforme-centric audiobooks, music, and other cultural delights. All of the songs and stories were edited to be as patriotic and politically correct as possible. At the enterences of the mines, the guards blared the Strigiforme Anthem through large speakers, so no matter where a worker was in the tunnels, they could hear it. After they worked, they attended an extensive history class on the Strigiforme, and ate a culturally Strigiforme meal. After 3 years of constant propaganda, the inmates come out with deep affections for the Strigiforme Empire.

[Chairman_Tiel]

I try not to be vindictive about such things, but there is no way in hell you're going to find Tiens in such a gathering - unlike other races, a vast majority stay in Protectorate space their entire lives with only a hanful here and there opting to leave; certainly not enough to warrant outstanding mention should one or two find themselves in an environment among other species. Due to this I'd ask that you remove that part of your post - if Tiens are indeed in there they'd happily fall under the 'and other species' part of that sentence.

[Prototype]

I seriously hope you are trying to indoctrinate NSCD rigs, purely so I can laugh at your futility.

[MrTargareyan]

D'raqnir was gazing lazily at the info screen on his console when something caught his eye, a message from the Orion Confederation "The Obsidian Syndicate is an abhorrent organization. Our intelligence has uncovered that they are killing our citizens there on business and as diplomats, who are completely unarmed. Here are the reports and pictures of them. *The reports display*. You can have your intelligence divisions check them, we can assure you that they aren't fake." He inquired to his councillor on the matter who murmured something about risks involved "fine" D'raqnir replied, "But nonetheless I must send a token fleet; we are new to this galaxy, and must secure allies" "As you wish my liege" His councillor replied. "Send them a couple of Tyrant classes and a carrier for backup, that should suffice I think"

//Transmission to the Orion Confederation//
The Valyrians have received your message, and are sending 4 Tyrant Juggernoughts and a Sephora class carrier for backup to assist in your battle against the Obsidian Syndicate.
//end//

//Transmission to the Obsidian Syndicate//
Due to your inhumane treatment of Orion Confederation diplomats and civilians, the New Valyrian Dominion declares war on the Obsidian Syndicate.
//end//

Also Tiel as I wrote above you got unlucky and your tactics are now corrupt, simply encode them again until I fix it. Again please make sure the program only gives you letters and if you see different signs instead of letters press encode again, sorry for the inconvenience.

And ACH please make sure there are no UTA citizens down there because I'm not sure how long your defences can hold off ...

What about my one, it has included a hyphen and commas where I put them, is it supposed to do that?

"Sir, we've received transmissions from rigs stuck in Strigiforme territory" an intel officer informed Omega

"What is their situation? Are they handing themselves over? Or fighting back?"

"They've gone maverick sir, every last one of them"

"I'm not surprised" Omega mused

"Sorry sir, what do you mean?"

"When one of use goes maverick, all we are doing is going against the system we are in, for whatever reason, going maverick is a conscious choice, and it appear that the Strigiforme have created an environment which has been deemed irrational, and not worth following, our brothers down there have made a conscious choice to fight back"

"But wouldn't they just be taken prisoner?"

"Negative, the Strigiforme care little for machines, they wouldn't waste resources converting us, it's a futile objective, they would just melt us into slag, however, that won't be easy"

"How so?"

"You should know the majority of the rigs in Strigiforme territory are worker rigs, mostly working on third party contracts, we didn't send them, they chose to go there, now, if my memory serves me, I remember seeing several type 7 heavy duty rigs board a ship to Strigiforme worlds, and we've seen what these rigs are capable of once they have turned maverick"

"But sir, these rigs are mere drops against the Strigiforme ocean, they don't stand a chance"

"No, they don't, but I can tell you this now, none of them will go down without a fight"

"Sir, would we not be able to offer to remove the mavericks from Strigiforme space?"

"Negative, the owls aren't rational like us"
