Outworld(OOC/Closed)

[Ralnis]

Ok, go ahead and do a Planetfall post( your first post as a colony ship before your colony begins its survival) and I will wait for my post and Year Turnover.

I- I did that already :/

I didn't look until when I was doing the Year Turnover.

[Ralnis]

Ok ive finally dedicated some time to be on the computer... can someone help clean this up for me? Im a year behind now and not sure whats authorized lol

Yeah, right now people are still researching and are going out of the starting techs and the RP is being polished and improve the mechanics a bit.

[Harkback Union]

Uhh... I kind of... wanted a former to be built in turn 3.
Scouting was supposed to happen in turn 2...

Ok, so I messed up on that part, your scouting yield a 7 and you found good land to expand in and your Former is built, I will put it in the highlights right now( I was going to bed when I made this so I can keep up with everyone)

Thanks! Now to Build the farm!

Yeah, like I said I was heading to bed when I was making the Year Turnover.

@ Kenysa I am sorry for the name mix up I have edit your name to the one of your faction's.

Is it ok to build a Hydro plant?

[Ralnis]

Oh, and when you have time Hardback, can you make a new map for the new colonies/factions?

[Ralnis]

It will have to be inside the colony and near water though.

[Harkback Union]

Yes, Altough Many still didn't post what colors they want... Never mind, I'll edit them later...

Inside? Couldn't I have it a few kilometers away?

just choose what colors( it is my fault because I forgot to tell them they need colors) they are then.

Allright, I'm off to draw the map than...

Well, the thing is that can you defend it or try and lay wiring down every way in order to get the power to the colony? I say let the basic one be in side the colony and more advance ones be farther away.

Ok. sorry about that if are doing anything for I am still tired and about to hit the bed.

I intend to use wires. Defend it shouldn't be too hard as the aliens can only encroach from one side. (The landscape is scorched on my side of the river...)

Ok then it can be built outside but it must be wired( which is still an Former action) so it will take a few years( if its close then it should be about 2-3 years) but it can also be in the colony for those who are near water.

Would my proximity to water be relevant? Also, what would I be looking at in the way of energy production from such a venture?

Thanks for answering my questions by the by.

Hmmm, and building a farm takes just one year?

Yes it will, it will be in colony or it can be out colony and right now the hydro energy production will be low compared to those like coal( Water will be 2 or 3 where coal will be 4 or 5) but the main thing is that water and solar energy production does not produce pollution so that would invite Skrooma and also the infamous Drone Riots unlike Coal or Thorium energy production.

and no prob G-Corp.

G tech you started with a free Network node?

Yes, and the only reason why it takes more to build the Hydro Factory is because of it needs to wire the factory to the colony or base.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Oh, hmm, if everyone starts with a Network Node, should I change my bonus? I kinda thought that would be one of my leg-ups, since I'm a combination of the University and the Free Drones, but I can choose something else if you want.

I did not actually specify the bonus system so I really don't know, I guess in order to level the playing field, I will allow the bonus system( I did not go into effect cause I have been working for a living) so here is how it goes.

Everyone gets a few set bonuses to their factions which goes like this;

1 Free Network Node
1 Free veteran unit(this can be a scout rover or a flamethrower unit if tech is acquired)
25% mining bonus( for resources and whatnot )
Faster building
and I will make more, I am sorry for confusing everyone.

We should go with the SMAC bonuses, where bonuses are balanced against failings. For instance, I currently have -2 Probe, which means enemy probe actions against me cost only half of what they should.
