Star Wars Factions: War for the Unknown (OOC)

[North America Inc]

The only issue right now is that as time progresses the age and strain for him is twice to others. So lets we reach two years then he will be reaching 78 so on and so forth.

Wanna just cut the Gordian knot and say he got it reversed at some point (or at least slowed down)? Having done a little more digging I have found out that where I previously thought only one clone had managed to get the aging stopped, it turns out he wasn't the only one.

Sure.

Awesome, I'll add that in somewhere.

Or he could have been cloned after the rise of the Empire(Went into service days before Battle of Yavin) and after hearing of Alderaan decided to defect?

So, this is my first RP with this kind of dice-rolling organization. I am still a little bit fuzzy on how the economics works. Pointers?

Well, dice rolling isn't actually involved in the economy. The economy is pretty straightforward in that you receive an amount of credits every term related to your civics and buildings, and then you can spend those credits every month on more infrastructure or military units.

What counts as an "uninhabitable world" for the purposes of building an Orbital Mining Station?

[Lunas Legion]

Weaker, yes.

Strong enough to bleed you severely? Also a yes.

[Plzen]

Posted a tentative draft for my Turn 2 moves in the Archives thread. I budgeted 160 Credits on military units, which was considerably more than I intended, but eh. I also plan to invest 350 Credits into sensors which, if I decide to go through with it, will then be suddenly worth almost as much as the rest of my military combined.

Naturally if something dramatic happens in the rest of Turn 1, I might change it.

Will post tomorrow. I'll be going to a dance soon and it'll be a few hours before I get back.

Somewhere nobody lives, mainly. Uncolonized.

Somewhere nobody lives, mainly. Uncolonized.

So is the interpretation that it is "a celestial object on which no surface infrastructure has been built" correct?

Words like "colonised" and "uninhabitable" are words that should really be rigorously and unambiguously defined if they're being used in the mechanics.

Ayerp, that's my interpretation, at least.

Bleed? You'd be like a fly splating against a windshield.

Alright, hyperspace mechanics. Can someone just hyperspace from one end of the route to the other passing through all the factions? Would an Interdictor be needed to stop a fleet passing through, or would they have to stop at every non-controlled planet along the way?

Presumably you'd need to pass through all of the systems - otherwise planets along a trade route wouldn't be nearly as affluent as they tend to be.

That would be "uninhabited" surely?, "uninhabitable" suggests its a world you can't live (barren worlds perhaps? But you can build cities there). Orbital Mines seem to only apply to Gas Giants and Asteroid Belts (as with the majority of the orbital stuff)? Unless that has changed?

Nah, you can put an Orbital Mine down anywhere you want, really. It just isn't the best use of your time with most colonizable worlds. The caveat with their construction is only so people don't stack them with fully built up worlds- if you're mining on the surface, you shouldn't also be mining from space, etc.

You've only got 4 more SDs than me, and better escorts while I have more escorts. If it came down ground warfare, I'd lose easily, but if it comes to that I've lost anyways.

That should probably be in the description then: "mutually exclusive with surface buildings." Because the only "planets" mentioned as being uncolonisable/uninhabitable are the Gas Giants and the Asteroid Belt, so I took that to mean orbital mining is only done on those two types.

Not that it is a big deal really, since they are not cost-effective enough to be worth the time in most instances.

How many SDs do you have? Archives said you have 5 to my 10.

In many parts of the galaxy, hyperlanes required periodic re-entry into realspace to manually maneuver the ship towards the next hyper-point.

For the sake of the RP, it'd probably be stopping at each passed through system. Thing is, if they don't have sensors, they won't see you coming, though if you stick around they will. The Empire, for one, has set up minefields, probes, and deep space stations at entry points to help deal with threats. Control a few core stars in the larger routes, or one in a small one like what we have, and you can control movement through it. In this case, each faction, with sensors, can control who can and can't ravel past them.

Thought I had 6 for some reason. I'll take 2 to 1 odds on the defence though.

psst, Major Industrial Factories have a limit of 1 per planet.

Wait, shipyards don't give ship reduction time? Nooooo. Damn there basically no time reductioneers. There goes the 1 month frigate spam.

EDIT:

Require Shipyard building type of Orbital Fuel Refinery and Orbital Industrial Yard

I am assuming that there is an "and" missing from here right?

Well, Military Shipyards still reduce construction time. Not by much but, yknow.

Done on purpose to actually prevent that.

[Plzen]

1 month frigate building time, if achievable, would be really powerful.

Surprise-attacked? Just crank out a hundred frigates that turn. Then do it again the following turn. Swarm warfare.

Actually, I suppose you can still do that, if your defenses are significant enough to hold for one month while your frigate assembly line is working.

Do destroyers, cruisers, etc. correspond to their RL naval counterparts, or are they just insert-random-naval-terminology that is so common in science fiction franchises?
