That doesn't balance; just one of your huge ships can wipe out large task forces without ever losing shielding and thus suffering any real damage.

The shields were based on SW-level tech, when I wrote it up I intended them to be about baseline with the sole exception of size(THus being truly ridiculously inefficient and weak ton for ton. After all, they are trying to run Culture tech off fusion reactors). They were not intended to be incredibly durable.

Shall we start this thing in the next day or two?

I would welcome it

Sound expensive. Yield?


On an unrelated note, are there any Fenari still around who know I had a treaty with them?

Given Yosemite is gone, I'd say no until he joins.

Not very expensive. Missiles are fairly simple to construct. And automated factories reduce the cost significantly. Also I'm a socialist power. Yield is fairly low, but it's extremely difficult to intercept them all, or even most of them, so the vast majority of the firepower should get through, unlike those that fire relatively few numbers of very powerful missiles.

The Fenari, I might add, had joined the UTR and SCEF back toward the end of the ASVS STGOD mk.I. Although Halite's invasion kind of split them off, they probably remember that alliance.

WIll we have a updated map sometimes, so I know where my enem---eh friends are located?

I'm going to rework the map as soon as we get all the powers and force declarations in. We need to have a delay between the last of the force declarations and the start of the STGOD anyway.

Well, my nation should be a ways away from any non-human power.

I thought we were relatively close together.

Yes, relatively speaking. But there's still room for some seperation.

I should be somewhere on the verge of the unknown, ways out of the way

Maybe somewhere in former Boyd space then.

True, but that still makes a non-human power one of your closest neighbors.

I think i might fit in former-boyd space too. Since we're new additions to the galaxy.

I've added some patrol ships to my OOB.

Is 500 about right?

I should probably be somewhere on the edge of known space...

I too would like to be placed on the edge.

For the Kzin, a big red blotch right where the Hephaestus sector of Boyd Space used to be, plus wide expansion to the galactic east.

Requests noted. Will not begin on new map until I get home at 21:30 PST.

For a light customes and police vessel? Yeah.

What does everyone think of starting this game tomorrow night?

I would enjoy doing so

Sounds good to me.
