Re: An SDNW Proposal
Ugh... too little sleep + math= stupid errors. I even talked about how it was an even/odd function and yet somehow used a linear function to calc it in my head.
I guess I am just having problems getting my fluff to correspond to the mechanics in a self-satisfactory way for the purposes of spending my NCP. I just keep running into the seeming contradiction that spending NCP on boosts to represent a very heavily industrialized sector causes you to lose GDP. I'd like to make my territory very compact and very built up without gaming the system (such as shoving multiple Core sectors right next to each other which would screw up naval response times) but without taking a multi-thousand $GDP hit as well.
This really ties into one of the storytelling devices I wanted to utilize. Most of the other species are spread far and wide, ranging from habitable world to habitable world with strings of colonies between like islands in the ocean or are nomads who ride asteroid colonies from site to site; whereas my faction is a block, concentric rings of heavily built up resource exploitation centers. Your factions are these living things which grew and branched like trees and dropped seeds into the winds of the universe to expand and my faction is a clod that simply sediments stuff slowly into it. I think there are a lot of very interesting interplays that can develop from this difference of species looking for places to live, grow and call home and the resources to do such vs. a species that is looking for resources to live and grow and the places to such but never thinks of anywhere as home.
Well, hopefully I will some epiphany about NCP while I sleep and be able to get a rough draft up later.

Personally, I can't see much problem with paying for say 3 core sectors but displaying just 1 on the map with the benefits of all 3 in it. Not something I'd say everyone should do, but this would seem to be the best way to go about representing a VERY heavily industrialised / populated sector. Perhaps this super core sector only has the normal number of earth-like planets in it as well.Dark Hellion wrote:I'd like to make my territory very compact and very built up without gaming the system (such as shoving multiple Core sectors right next to each other which would screw up naval response times) but without taking a multi-thousand $GDP hit as well.

Ships
14-Atlantis class Dreadnoughts (500 Points each, 7,000 points Total)
The Pride of the Commonwealth Star Navy, the Atlantis class Dreadnought serve as the Elite Guard. Heavily shielded and armored, they are highly durable and possess a formidable long range arsenal of long range Particle cannons, torpedo tubes, a formidable point defense array and it's most deadly weapon, the spinal mounted "Gladius Deus" Heavy Particle Lance, capable of destroying smaller capital ships with one shot. Each of these weapons is given its own name. Atlantis class ships are manned by the cream of the crop of the Commonwealth Star Navy, with a disproportionate number of Posthumans. They generally serve as command ships
30-Nelson class Battleships (300 Points each, 9,000 points total)
10-Kusenagi class Lance Cruisers (150 Points, 1,500 Points total)
10 Akagi Class Carriers (150 points each 1,500 points total)
100 Godslayer Class Destroyers-(100 points each, 10,00 points total)
The Godslayer is the workhorse of the Commonwealth's Navy. A resilliant ship for its size it has a flexible combined arsenal of Partical Cannons, Point Defense Gatling Lasers and Torpedoes. Godslayers are well suited to taking on smaller and comprably sized craft, but are compartively slow for their size.
150 Tercio Class Lance Frigates-(50 Points each, 7,500 Points total)
Tercio class Lance Frigates serve two main roles for the Commonwealth's fleet, the first to screen the Wall of battle, the second is to engage enemy capital ships. Outside of it's primary point defense arsenal of eight point defense Gatling lasers Tercio class Lance Frigates have one large forward mounted Particle Cannon, this allows it to fire a devastating shot with longer range than most enemy spacecraft of comparable size. The primary weakness is that this cannon takes some time to recharge and cool off, which leaves it vulnerable after firing. Fortunately, Tercio class ships are fast. These craft are often assigned to escort Akagi class carriers and work in conjunction with Xiongnu class Frigates and Godslayer class Destroyers as commerce raiders
134 Xiongnu Class Missile Frigates-(50 Points each, 6,700 Points total)
The Xiongnu class Missile Frigate is a fast moving missile platform. While it can be used, like a Tercio to pad out point defense networks (and have a comparable point defense arsenal to the Tercio), they carry a heavy payload of long range heavy torpedoes and eight heavy liner catapults. These ships can fire off devastating salvos at long range, but have limited magazine capacity. These craft are often assigned to escort ships such as Kusenagi class Lance Cruisers and Akagi class carriers as well as commerce raiding.
5,000-RX-50 Tigershark Space Superiority Fighters (500 Points total)
500-Bullshark class Assault Gunships (250 points)
10 Diplomatic yaughts-(5 points each, 50 points Total)
44,000 point Navy
Army
Posthuman Forces-3,000 points (30,000 Elite Kit)
30,000,000 Posthuman Soldiers
Regular Forces-7000 points (150,000 Advanced Kit)
675,000,000 Regular Soldiers

Re: An SDNW Proposal
*Frowns*
You sure you added up those ship points right Zor? Just going by quantity & points per ship I make it 41,000, but based on the total points I make it 43,250. Certainly some don't make sense - 14 * 500 = 7000, not 6000, in the case of your dreadnoughts.

Re: An SDNW Proposal
Given that the rules seem finalised, the rolls have been made, and write-ups are starting to appear, I have three questions to ask on behalf of the Altacar Empire...
1. Can we be friends? The Altacar Empire would be delighted to open up trade relations with, well, just about everyone to be honest. I know we sided with Earth and Nova Terra when the Chamarans first appeared on the scene, but hey, it's been a few centuries and it's silly to let a grudge like that get in the way of a good business proposition.
2. We happen to have a LOT of spare shipyard capacity, which, for a mere 10% fee (discounts possible in certain situations), we'd be willing to sell to any nation we're on good terms with. Most 20th / 21st century Earth nations have in the past bought (or outsourced the building of) military hardware from other countries after all, and the Altacar Empire would be more than happy to help out in this regard. We can promise your ships to be built on time and delivered as soon as they're built.
3. Would anyone else be interested in forming an international body to protect and advance the cause of free trade, and to resolve trade disputes peacefully?
Please respond either here or by PM. I can assure everyone that confidentiality is guaranteed.

And, luckily, due to how the Kipaktli view wars, they wouldn't mind being friendly and eager to trade afterwards. They view wars as being inherently self-enclosed, as it were, wherein you can war one week and be trading and the best pals the next. This comes from their history, wherein wars over resources were common, but they had to still trade, especially males between tribes.

Re: An SDNW Proposal
Warships of the Sovereignty
Numbers to be determined; point scores per ship are preliminary. All manned warship classes of the United Sovereignty Star Force use the -star suffix as a classification scheme.
50p Bloodhound-class Spystar
Spystars are stealthed vessels that trade most of their offensive capabilities for a heavy-duty ECM suites and scatterscreens that render them very nearly undetectable. Spystars serve as fleet pickets, long-range scouts, reconnaissance vehicles and infiltrators. A large number of Spystars are in use by the CEID intelligence agency.
75p Gangster-class IOU
Independent Offensive Units (IOUs) are unmanned warships, piloted by advanced AI. They are used as fleet screens, fast strike craft, patrol ships and light carriers. There is only one class of IOU (the Gangster-class), but it has an almost infinite number of subclasses configured for a bewildering variety of roles. Most commonly seen are the Outlaw, Bandit, Hooligan and Hatchetman subclasses.
150p Assailant-class Strikestar
If you ask any citizen of the Sovereignty to describe a warship, the description you get back will almost certainly fit the Assailant to a T. These iconic dagger-shaped warships have kept the peace on the colonial fringe for decades, long enough for them (and their crews) to garner a reputation comparable to the gunslinger-sheriffs of the Old West. Each carries a sizeable number of fighters, a marine complement, and enough weapons to deter (or blow up outright) most pirates and other armed stragglers. And if the Assailant comes across anything it can't deal with on its own, it is fast enough to get away quick and call the cavalry.
250p Onslaught-class Warstar
The mainstay warship in the United Sovereignty Star Force, the Onslaught is essentially a larger version of the Assailant: more fighters, more marines, and many, many more weapons. The Onslaught sports four clusters of prow-mounted c-beam cannons, as well as a full complement of quad-mounted autolasers and CAM-beamers. Heavily shielded, the Onslaught can take massive amounts of punishment. Large numbers of these warships are stationed at the forward naval bases at Hochbaden and Key West, from where they occasionally venture into Wild Space whenever something needs a good ass-kicking. A carrier version exists also, which devotes fully half its bulk to hangars containing hundreds of fighters and gunboats.
400p Atrocity-class Warstar
The Atrocity-class was developed after the Battle of the Tannhauser Gate when USS authorities believed a full-scale Bragulan invasion was imminent and a 'warship gap' was perceived to exist. It has only a negligible complement of fighters and marines, but is instead geared almost solely toward blowing up enemy warships, something it does very well. Endless rows of autolasers and CAM-beamers can make short work of everything, from the very largest of Bragulan warships to the most numerous of Karlack swarms.
600p Genocide-class Dreadstar
The very largest warship ever constructed by the USS, only a handful of Genocide-class Dreadstars has been built so far--but then, only very few threats could possibly require the intervention of such a humongous warship to deal with. The Genocide-class is a titan in every respect: shield strength, engine throughput, weapons power. This warship is so powerful that it can reduce entire fleets of lesser vessels to clouds of debris, and lush continents to molten slag with trivial ease. Command is entrusted to only the most responsible of officers, and even then they rarely leave the core territories of the USS... The only exception being the USS Murderous, the flagship of Brigadier Flash Stalin's 616 Interplanetary Patrol Group, known in Wild Space by their nickname "Hell's Bells".

In this case, The Collectors should be amenable to mysterious deals of dubious morality.
