Space STGOD planning.(2k9)

[The Romulan Republic]

Sorry I haven't posted at all. I'm going to try to catch up on the diplomacy thread and improve my OOB, then start posting. Hope its not to late to jump back in.

[Dark Hellion]

I'm going to get something up tomorrow... I have some interesting ideas.

[Tanasinn]

My OOB should have its vital stats up sometime tomorrow. I probably won't (actively) get into any trouble until then.

[Ohma]

My OOB is fully functional, though I plan on finishing up the fluff over the next few days. ALSO, could I get a minor clarification on the ship specializations we have now? I'm confused after seeing a lot of letters added to everyone else's ships.

[Darkevilme]

There's stealth and that's it. Stealthed ships cost double, everything else is fluff specialization wise for ships.

[Master_Baerne]

The letters are, I think, pure fluff. They serve only to add a certain sheen of officialdom to fleet lists.

[Ohma]

Shiny. Okay then, I am good to go I think.

[Karmic Knight]

Hey, would it be alright if I joined next week end?

[Darkevilme]

Sure Karmic i think we have one or two spaces to squeeze people in yet.

[Master_Baerne]

Hey! No weapons deals with target powers!

[Darkevilme]

Not gonna metagame, Chamara doesnt know that you lot are trying to carve Laeller up between you. Sides i need to get more material intake somewhere in order to fund production of all the stuff i'm trading now. And there's a market for ordinance down south of me.

[Master_Baerne]

I know, I know. But it's just so damned inconvenient.

[Master_Baerne]

A question: Are the areas around nodes the territory of the nation they lead to? It seems reasonable, given the strategic importance of nodes and the fact that alliance treaties between players seem to have included them as a matter of course.

[Thirdfain]

You mean, is the outlet from one of your nodes into another person's territory- i.e, the part of the node in THEIR system, yours? I'd say no, unless you've acquired a treaty specifically saying as much.

[Master_Baerne]

Thanks a bunch.

[White Haven]

They're yours if you can make it so, whether by diplomacy or firepower.

Also: OOB updated with ship names and task force assignments, because I'm OCD like that.

[Rogue 9]

Baerne, I have to ask, did you even think your question through in the slightest? The jump nodes go both ways; unless you're suggesting that you own the node in their system and they own the node in yours, I don't see how what you propose could be the default.

[Master_Baerne]

Umm...No, not really. I'll try to do better in future.

[Rogue 9]

What? I spent a good fifteen percent of my army points on an intelligence service; there's no point sitting around not using it.

[Master_Baerne]

None whatsoever.

(Note to self) Send missionaries to Nashtar. Missionaries, that's it. Not Hourglass spies, not even a little bit.

[Thirdfain]

For the record, the major movement of ships I'm launching is headed towards the treaty systems between myself and the Kaelarr; as anyone who might be looking would notice. No efforts towards secrecy have been made.

[Alyrium Denryle]

Sorry for the delay folks, should be posting tomorrow.

[Thirdfain]

Hey, would it be alright if I joined next week end?

I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem

[Raj Ahten]

As I now suddenly have free time once more, this STGOD is looking intriguing to me. But is there any space availible? And are you all willing to take me in this late in the process? 2k8 had lots of potential, hopefully it can be realized this time around.

[Dahak]

btw, shouldn't we close the diplomacy thread? IMO, all things should be done now in the game thread... Spreading the game over several threads tends to be a bit distractive.
