Andromeda Six

[Solar112]

Faction Name: The Solar Stratocracy (I've decided this is what will become of The Solari Empire)
Size: .5
Military: 3
Population: .75(?!)
Wealth: 0 (Wealth is an abstract concept for our nation and it's based on the ah 'services' you can provide.)
Home planet and capital city: HP: Currently, none, destroyed in supernova. CC: SSV Solaris
Other Data: Pretty much dead, confined to a moderately sized fleet.

How is your military three? Is your species capable of cloning itself four times in battle?

I didn't read...

So a fleet, that just arrived from somewhere? Ok... you will have to expand later, but accepted for nkw.

Yeah, i guess... I'll expand on their story later

Abstract. The system is meant to allow flexibility and freedom, not to have every eventuality and detail ever covered.

Rules lawyering will probably resu.t in a Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies.

so there is no relation between actuality and the point system. gotcha.

If you want a rule for everything, you're perfectly free to write your own system.

It's not even a rule. If the points don't represent an actual, standard numerical value then... wha?

They don't need a number value. Everything is based off of systems owned so in the end you don't need an accurate number.

... You should know how many systems you own... I do at least... while most aren't technically under my rule (outposts, research bases/stations, etc), I do have quite a few. Last time I made an effort at it I had exactly 24 systems that we'd declare war over (even though we don't really own them), then 17 others that are acceptable losses, our current systems 'owned' are 9 which are really just the core of the Expanses. I'd put those 33 (50) into my apps, but I like writing walls of text as much as I love reading them.

TL;DR: If your size isn't your size, then what is it then?

Sorry, what? Size is number of systems that the empire currently controls.

Unless you were attempting to make a joke about... size.

You should at least have a gross estimate of your faction's population, and the amount of points should reflect that. Population could be one of the simplest transitions, just have one point = 1 billion people.

I put to you, why does it matter? It's abstract because the Commonwealth will have up to 250 million on a world, but (ex.) NeoRome might have more than a billion, so it's just to give the rules a basis. Mainly because tying it to a number limits what one can do with their faction's backstory.

Isn't your backstory the driving force of your numbers rather than the other way around... ?

So then the Commonwealth would have .25 pt/world and NeoRome would have 1 per world... And what vinyl said.

[Solar112]

And where does this leave me with my fleet?

In dire need to babies, solar. Unless extermination by _some faction_ seems a good alternative.
