Star Wars Factions: War for the Unknown (OOC)

[Bone Fort]

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?

For the most part they stick to their RL counterparts, though their are of course some exceptions.

Ah, alright. In that case just spamming frigates is probably not such a terrible idea, as long as your enemy doesn't have heavy ships...

...which of course everyone has.

TBF death of a thousand cuts is a sound enough strategy if you have the resources. And you always need that thick screen.

Well, that is true. Naval terminology is so inconsistent.

You can pull it off, if you get creative enough. And by "creative" I mean "borderline sadistic."

In one of the ME:F RPs I pulled off 1-month light cruisers.

So in the next few days the popularity mechanic will be put in place just let you guys know.

Ascb are you going to send a exploration mission soon?

Squadrons will be getting buffed.

Just starting to get myself set up.

Sorry, I've been a bit busy IRL as well as with other NS-related responsibilities. I'll post tomorrow(I'm on Pacific Standard Time.).

Also, the main dilemma with that is that my remnant has no functional hypderdrives(Or else they would have moved outward 20 years ago). I'm hoping for another faction to stumble upon them in their exploration of the Unknown Regions and either help repair theirs or upgrade them with the better drives that have surely been engineered since the Clone Wars.(We're in the Unknown Regions, so it's kind of like their coming to us....May they have mercy. )

But if you are out in the Unknown Region you would be making 50% less credits? Why would you want that?

[New United States of Columbia]

Sorry I didn't post yesterday guys. Didn't exactly feel like posting since I'm kinda confused as to what my guys should do. And forgetting to keep track of credits.

Being in the Unknown Regions makes more sense in my history(Didn't anyone read it?), because it would better fit with the Star Wars continuity. Even if it's a drawback.

You don't hear Han ever describing a Droid holdout in the Outer Rim or anything like that, right?

Having it be in a place no one else has ever been to until now(The Unknown Regions in this case) would be the course of action that would the least conflict with the Star Wars story as of far. Speaking of which, I wonder how "The Last Jedi" will effect our RP. Do we expect it to last so long?

[G-Tech Corporation]

Soooo.... month two?

[Durmatagno]

Plzen, I should note for you that on the decent to Aurora you would have been able to see the rest of the planet is actually really well developed (I've maxed out most of the structures I can at this point)

[North America Inc]

Soooo.... month two?

Posting on Thursday or Friday the thread for month 2, depending on activity. Thrawn will be arriving at the tail end of the month to show why the Empire hasn't just conquest spammed you guys.

Well, thick forests and vibrant life does not really inspire the feeling of "industrial powerhouse" to someone from the Auroran Industrial Commonwealth. To the Commonwealth, non-sentient life (like plants) are an inefficiency that must be removed in any proper programme of industrialisation.

I'm currently exploring the Unknown Regions. Maybe the Magistrate can stumble upon you?

Somebody'll have to. So yes. ^_^

I just hope I'm not steamrolled right away by those expansionist powers out there....Or those that want revenge for the Clone Wars.

I'd be okay with it though if it were done in an epic fashion.

Well we aren't expansionistic as so much wanting to continuously boost their economy by becoming interstellar. They wouldn't even know about the greater Galaxy but would be interested about hearing history.

It's more about pollution control and all the most valuable resources were clustered on the other continents. Besides, it's a great place to give troops the extra Garden planet training once I start making my "elites" and Elites ("elites' being upgraded *and* trained units that don't have Elite (which are even better equipped and trained)

[Plzen]

I'm not sure what, if anything, the Commonwealth should seek to achieve by attending the conference. Technology, perhaps?

Hilariously enough, I think only the Empire Rampant even has research capabilities currently.

Research and espionage over here. Real funny that you mentioned that, because I literally just logged on right now to submit a research project to OP.

Ah? Probably only you and the Empire then. Research facilities are pricey.

They are. Would take roughly a third of any minor power's starting budget, and have add a minus to a planet's credit production. Not something a minor player can afford so early, outside of the sentient mining facility. Their production is ridiculous.

Um...Holy shit this grew since I was here.

Corporate Entity: 800 (three free districts [USED], one orbital shipyard [USED], 1 Cloud City [NOT USED], Three mining vessels [USED], 3 frigates [USED], basic 15 credits/month+infrastructure

History:

The company can trace it roots back to Ziam Cyrus, a noted force user and player during the Sith wars nearly 5000 years before. Trained by both the Jedi and the Sith, he put his skills to use working as a smuggler and spice runner for years during the Cold war and eventually as a recon/spy for the Republic up until the end of the war. No known children were recorded, but DNA testing shows that the current Cyrus, Serath Cyrus, is in fact a direct blood decedent of her ancestor. After the war, Ziam set up shop as a galaxy wide shipping company, putting his years of knowledge to work in a legitimate setting. Over the next centuries the company would morph and grow, shifting further and further away from the linage of Jedi and Sith and more to more of a business standing, becoming prominent traders and merchants.

In the years leading up to the Clone Wars, the Banking clan would be largely responsible for the destruction of the company and the family it self. Culminating with the murder of all but Serath's mother during a bombing on Nabboo, it left the girl, then , orphaned and penniless. Eventually she found work under a spice smuggler and built up the company under the guess of a exploration company. Another blow would come when the CIS would detain her ship and crew, stealing it out right and killing her crew. She would be sold in to slavery and worked under the Hutts until 19BBY, were she escaped, having seduced and killing one of the Hutts lieutenants, using his credits to leave. She found out a few weeks later that she was pregnant, and raised the child, a Daughter, to be a spitting image of her. The duo would rebuild the company and the family name, culminating with the purchase of a Venator Star Destroyer, one that was brought up to Imperial Military specs.

Unfortunately, her mother would succumb to a long time illness, one contracted during her slavery years, and die shortly before the expedition took place. Now, the company, with the young Serath at it's helm, has set out with the goal of staking a claim at one of the many garden worlds along the hyper space rout and is dead set on rebuilding the family name.

Left over balance as of now: 576 credits.
Projected income:
Basic 15 per month + 10% bonus (it would be an extra 1.5, rounded up to 2 credits per month)
Mining district x3 21 credits per month + 10% bonus (it would be .7 per month, .7 X 3 = 2.1, rounded down to 2)
Metro district x1 45 credits per month + 10% bonus (it would be an extra 4.5 credits per month, rounded up to 5)
Industrial factory x1 10 credits per month = 10% bonus (it woud be 1 scredit extra)
101 Credit per month Profit, 91 before bonus
Estimated 4-5 months until expedition is payed for if further expansion is not executed.
After Upkeep cost (which evens out to 1 credit) a solid 100 credit per month profit is estimated.
