Once More, With Feeling

That doesn't change anything. Unless you posted a link in every post in this thread your claim is unsubstantiated.

Disinterest =/= implicit approval.

You'll not everyone else has been tracking their own ship construction via [meta] tags or simple posting it.

If we need a reference, I could post my military fleet from memory at any time; I'd assume most folks maintain a list somwhere.

The Hades group has relayed the Alliance data to FleetCom via hyperpulse transmission; the Butik/Alliance/NR positions and relevant data has been transmitted to the NR, flagged as a priority-alpha message.

The Commonwealth is agreeable to assisting in contact between the Alliance and Macaians, though note their own contact with the Macai - or anyone besides the Alliance and NR - is fairly limited.

Hehe what an assumption, Im not even talking about modifying that list whether intentionally or not, after all nobody can really say how fast should your ships be built, someone thinks 10 frigates per turn makes sense, others believe 100 , the fundamental flaws of this place ...

Based off realworld shipbuilding times (call it an average of 8 months per cruiser-sized vessel), a new ship could probably be turned out every other page, possibly a bit more; given the variable time-frame (and the lack of turns), it's fairly fluid. SUDDENLY SPACESHIPS might get you swatted by a GM, though.

As if he'll notice mate, as if he will ...

Okay, I get it. 200+ spaceships at this point is horrendously overpowered.
I'll edit it drastically.
How's ~80 cruiser-equivalent ships sound considering I already had a considerable fleet prepared before I went interstellar?
(would be slightly over 100 ships total since most of my ships are sub-cruiser, refer to the doc for reference of the rebalancing)

You know, if we're acting on the retroactive clause, my faction probably has some galaxy-smashing mega-death fleet given it's the same continuity in which

Anyway, just going to jump ship on the subplot I wanted to start because no time.

After assessing the military strength of the galaxy, massive military production begins to supplant the already respectably sized navy. One can only imagine what for.

almost a year ago

[Ivan2006]

Actually, Tiel, that is not the case. We kinda reset things. Did I mention that the old universe was partially scrapped because "galaxy-smashing mega death fleets" were becoming a basic commodity?

[cannonfodder]

The last I recall the lot of you were so caught up in that kind of tripe that you refused to revise anything. I couldn't see any evidence of that having changed, so forgive me if I was mistaken in that presumption.

Nonetheless, I still maintain storing things in another document and trying to enforce what's in it is pretty scandalous. There's no reason to externalize things here if only to do what you're attempting.

Suggestion: everyone posts empire size (# of planets), fleet size (# and type of ships), and we let our resident GMs figure out who needs to curtail their ships and such?

[Ivan2006]

@Tiel
Yes, I got that, that's why I happened to do things like Error (hwo happens to be GM here) said: I reduced the number of ships drastically and from now on I will explicitely post any and all changes to the table including a repost of the link at least every other page.

here it is, by the way, in case you were wondering.

@Error
Macaian Empire Size:
6 planets with populations over 10k, several dozen very small colonies.

Fleet size:

Spoiler:

Carriers: 2
Battleships: 8
Assault Ships (role similar to an Acclamator from SW): 2
Destroyers: 17
Frigates: 40
Scouts (Scouts in the ME are effectively super-small ships for about a 3-person crew with a lot of sensors and scanners, some probes, FTL and, like, one laser): 53
Planetary Attack Craft (PACs, effectively independent, FTL-capable ground support ships/aircraft): 3

GMs = Fen, Mercury, ACH. I'm just the stand-in when they're not here.

[Vinyl]

@Numbars I have, like, what, 7-10 planets? I'd suppose somewhere around 120 ships, maybe 100. I mean, I did build 100 ships for NeoRome in not-a-long-time.

[Error]

Commonwealth:

2 planets/settlements of note (Novus, 120,560 pop. & Scorpia Fleet Yards, 10,250 pop.)

Ships

Spoiler:

Pegasus - battlecarrier, class lead
Ten Rounds Rapid - battlecarrier

Hades - carrier, class lead
Harrier - carrier
Widow - carrier & research vessel (incomplete)

Longbow - colony ship, serving as mobile shipyard (incomplete)

I think at this point my fleet consists of a Man with a rubber dinghy. And a dog.
