Sorry for my absence and my delay on this, but I just put my Gothamite task force onto the Pendleton coalition page. I put them in the invasion fleet, though if that's not what you had in mind Steve that can be easily changed. Or they can just get their shit rocked by the Collector's first volley.
Re: SDN Worlds 4 Commentary Thread II
I believe I had you listed as the invasion fleet member. Generally closer powers - you, Akhlut, Baerne, Shep, Katr - make up the "invasion fleet" contingent and the distant ones - Shinn, Rogue, Zor - make up the blockade fleet.A-Wing_Slash wrote:Sorry for my absence and my delay on this, but I just put my Gothamite task force onto the Pendleton coalition page.

"The 4th Earl of Hereford led the fight on the bridge, but he and his men were caught in the arrow fire. Then one of de Harclay's pikemen, concealed beneath the bridge, thrust upwards between the planks and skewered the Earl of Hereford through the anus, twisting the head of the iron pike into his intestines. His dying screams turned the advance into a panic."'

Just FYI, the Collector flotilla has the Monolith, four Viper cruisers and the following parasite craft:
4x Wasp Patrol Craft (ultralight, corvette-sized)
20x Scythe Gunboat (Heavily armed attack craft)
50x Mantis fighter/bomber (Self-explanatory, heavy fighters)

Re: SDN Worlds 4 Commentary Thread II
How on Earth do you people make your nation profiles? I realize I have no warp gates (well, one deactivated one) and no hyperspace junctions. I spent all my NCPs on sectors and colonies. Should I trade my sectors for these things? Should I trade my sectors for GDP boosts? Is it worth doing that? Can I use GDP to BUY a warpgate? Can I use GDP to BUY a hyperspace junction? Or use GDP to buy GDP boosts? What.
(I just want to increase my money so I can buy more ships.)
Also, how on Earth do you do these military acquisitions thing? I compute the percentage of my GDP for the military, say 10%, and then...

Re: SDN Worlds 4 Commentary Thread II
Each year you can build some ships. Since it's peacetime you shouldn't build more than 20% of GDP worth of ships, more like 10% would probably make sense. Figure out what you want to do with X% of your GDP worth of ships; mods can tell you if you picked a reasonable value of X (though Siege might be biased... )Shroom Man 777 wrote:How on Earth do you people make your nation profiles?

So my GDP is 59000$ a year, and I built just under 5900$ of ships this year. Well, started 5900$ worth of ships; some of them won't be finished for a long time.
