I really doubt you'll be wandering out to the Magellenic Cloud's on a day's holiday. It's something of a walk, and of course, everyone tells you bad stories about the Big Bad Pirates there.

oh and i DONT expect total equality. but marginal i do. and you didnt answer my question, are the minors just supposed to lie down and be filler for this conlflict or are we allowed to join together and riseup against a regional or major defeat it and carve the sucker up? end.

If you can get enough military power rallied up to bring down larger powers, more power to you, go to it. It'd be more exciting than the dull state it presently is.

btw, have we decided yet on a build-up scheme for navies yet?
I'd like to post the normal buildup umbers, if I only knew how many...

*this isnt asking for a direct comment to.*

ah well i dont know why i bothered. im obiviously jsut a little guy trying to play a game thats built for people whove played before and dont want anyone else in. doesnt mean im gonna stop though. ll just keep my ship in scale where you apparently want it it be. they arent PD theyre just called turbolasers. after all, in SW a laser isnt really what in the 21st century is called a laser.

I imagine i shouldve gone with my gut and just done StarLancer Ships...

better now. Where is that blasted ship comparison chart. i want to add my "antique" ship to the list...

Oh, and Cabwi, about your latest post: if this was supposed to be a German translation of the "The Thirteen over all" it should have been "Die Dreizehn über alles"

That would be my jurisdiction. Send me a side profile of your ship and I'll shoehorn it in.

By the way, if anyone else wants to do the same, go ahead.

Oh yeah, and about my staying out for now, well, the in-universe explanation is that the Grand Powers tend not to be bothered very much with the affairs of the smaller powers. The OOC explanation is that I'm busy.

Er, um, yeah, I'll get around to updating the map too. Let's see, where is the Thirteen anyway?

I've been considering jumping in with a continuation of the covert storyline. There's this ninja killing machine who wants to hurt Ragle, for one.

I'm afraid there's several million Hansens in the galaxy, so you're on a bit of a wild goose chase. The character that the ninja assassin is probably looking for is Ragle, who is busy annoying both the Klingons and UTR at the moment.

Echoed. A-fucking-gain. *eyes the moderators sharply. You know, the ones who'd be ruling on this*

And, uh, Cabwi? I'm a minor power too, and you don't see me bitching. Chill, man.

Ummm. That's what I said. Look! And ignore the editing.

*points at Self, white haven, the amoeba guy, Raxmei, Zod, and probebly another few*

Non of us have played before, do you see us dead?

(give us time).

If you continue playing(not sure on this point), and we open diplomatic contact, I mean you'll have to drop your restrictions on combat craft entering your realm, as I'm 1 big fleet, and I don't split up.

Raxmei has played before, but even I, a player from ASVS days, has only a regional power.

You get it for free with a German keyboard, actually.

Cabwi Desco · Post by **Cabwi Desco** » 2005-02-20 09:50am

Right ill stop my whining and come to and even better compromise that will suit us all. Lets just call my ships, Antiquities, you know kinda like the hapan navy.

Ill PM (or email whichever is easier) my ship side view and as for the map... put me across from enigma, towards roma and centralize me where the old route crosses the border thatll do it for me.[/img]

I'm pretty sure I'm on the far East, between Rpblksrpsk and Krytos, and some to the right.

For clarity's sake I've made it a giant PNG image rather than JPEG-compress it. Be warned, it's a 1.8MB file.

Winter 2005 map, revision 5

Thanks!

*starts drawing*

Okey, 3 jumps.

So where is Johan's legion based out of? The Corporate Sector?

For security reasons, IC only the people in the Legion know where the main base is. It also tends to move around a lot. OOC, it's currently located at Skaarjin, using an old asteroid there on an elliptical orbit through the system. The location was picked to keep people from prying about, since the location of an old battle like that left a lot of "ghosts" and automated defense systems that tend to kill most people who never knew what was there.

How does one contact them in order to hire them, then?

Electronic drops to various mailboxes in the CorpSec and SKS. Being a mercenary group they're naturally secretive, as they don't know who might want some revenge.

Once contact has been made, sometimes an in-person meeting with a neutral representative is arranged to work out further details. But most of the time we simply take the assignment agreed on and give a disposable "drop box" bank account for payment upon completion.

Crayz, there's a hyperlane from the Sixth through the Azegart and to the main lane there. Templars helped scout it a while back.

Crayz9000 · Post by **Crayz9000** » 2005-02-20 05:01pm

Done. I also decreased the size of the map to 700k by making it 256-color.
