Mass Effect Factions: A Brave New Galaxy (OOC)

[Commonwealth of Hank the Cat]

Fighters carry anti-ship Disruptor Torpedoes. Interceptors attack fighters. Remember to include planetary incomes to your economy. They contribute most of your early-game income.

It's a factions game, so all Turian military units in the Hierarchy are controlled by the Hierarchy player. A renegade turian world would be the closest to what is requested.

Turians wouldn't allow a "renegade turian world", that is the whole point of the unification wars.
The second I said "I'M FR-!" I would be bombed into jelly by a unrelenting and far more powerful turian hierarchy force.
I want to control a naval unit under the hierarchy, like a task force or special division.

Oh, gee, you're still around? I remember you from that one New Vegas RP.

[Elysian Kentarchy]

Been wondering this for a while but what is the difference between fighters and interceptors anyway (besides more being in an interceptor wing that is)?

While your right about the Unification Wars, the Hierarchy wouldn't be able to exert the same firepower after they just took the larger brunt of the Reaper Invasion. If some refugees wanted to set up on some world away from the big Hierarchy until they get wiff of it, then maybe send some Blackwatch if they can spare it or just don't care for now.

That's just my mental change.

[Durmatagno]

Tagging with interest, don't know how I didn't spot this sooner.

[Nuxipal]

So, I have just realized that the Turians built a Galactic Bank on Illium.

I would request that people ask before a bank is built in another nation's territory, though I most likely would say yes to almost any of them. I say this because, banks also have benefits for those whose planet it is built on. The "Home" planet gets a +20% bonus to the income from their urban areas, because private citizens can now take out low interest loans to boost the economy. The Capital nation, the owner of the building, gets a flat rate. They are great structures when people can agree to them, but be careful who you give an extra building and +20% from urban areas to. They don't always want the same thing as you do.

That said, if anyone wants to build one on Zorya, please notify me.

Hmm... so you’re saying, covert Geth banking?

They just don't declare their banks the "First Interstellar Bank of Geth" for all to see

Btw, North, if you're having trouble finding time to put up bonuses, I can slap some together for you right quick.

Sorry, completely forgot to let you know about that. I frankly wasn't really arsed about thinking where I wanted them, and also kind of feel like they're a dumb structure. If I had the choice, I'd have just dissolved them for credits and spent them on industry.

I've been working on some for him too. I finished human, drell and batarians. Have part of the turians and asari remnant completed.

Ah, cool. You go for it then- no need for multiple cooks to spoil the broth.

Shoot man, I'm at work. Any if the odd numbered factions on the op aside from those listed need doing still.

I can understand that. I just need to find a world now.

Sure, I'll see what I can get done- I'll kick them over to you once I put them together so you can collate them with your list for balancing before sending them on to NAI.

[Turkducken]

Is the current roster accurate? I was considering filling in the Hanar, Batarians, Vorcha, or Krogan. Also is there no Elcor?

Ayerp, she’s essentially up to date. IIRC the Elcor are essentially extinct because Shepard didn’t send them aid.

Batarians should have a player. Or at least I have created their Pros/Cons based on an application.

They're in the Citadel Client Species section with 1200 Credits to start, so far from extinct it seems.

I thought it was that no one seemed to play as them.

...I stand corrected. That’s why I include the IIRC, because some days I don’t remember correctly at all :/

[Turkducken]

Being that the OP stated "highest war score achieved" I was about to question that claim.

[North America Inc]

Pros: Rearmament: The rapid build up the military state has allowed the Autocracy greater access to weapons, troops, and military units. The shifting economy can now be seen from the shift from consumer goods to military equipment. The Autocracy has a 10% decrease on all upgrades worth more than 10%, as well as, all shipyard contribute a 5% decrease in cost and production time.

Homeland yearning: The control of Thessia, once the economic powerhouse of the galaxy and the spiritual home of the Asari, yields a variety of different advantages. Thessia receives a flat out 10% multiplier for economic output, has 200 credit increase on production limit, and all ground units produced on Thessia receive Advanced Armour for free.

Cons:Centralized Inefficiency: In contrast to the mass focus on Thessia, other Asari colonies have suffered from lack of support or even the removal of resources to focus solely on the home planet. The current regime's focus on the military and cultural heritage, have left many communities and local governments prone to corruption and bribery. All systems that are not the Pamitha Sysytem receive a 5% economic reduction in production and credits.

Powder Keg: The Autocracy's focus on propaganda has given the appearance of success and unity. However, detractors and dissidents hide within the shadow, waiting to take advantage of any weakness or failure to strike back. Bad Monthly roles or failed battles may lead to riots and rebellions. How many bad events need to occur is unknown to the Autocracy and is only known to the OP and Co-OP.

Pro:Special Tasks Group: Salarian Special Ops units gain the Enhanced Electronics Warfare and High Quality Armaments upgrade for free,

Ultra-Violet GARDIAN: Salarian technology is one of the most advanced in the galaxy. Salarian Medium and Light Vessels gain the Enhanced GARDIAN upgrade for free.

Cons: Salarian Frailness - Salarian Ground Units can only receive free upgrades or upgrades given by events. No upgrades can be purchased for them.

Council Duties: With a large amount criticism for its failure to take action during the Reaper War, the Union has given a large amount of funds to the Citadel to take the place of the Turians. 8% of income is given to the Fleet, may be negotiated in six months.

Pro: Pros: Mercenary Militia - All Militia units of Omega start with either High Quality Weapons or Advanced Armor.

Mines of Omega - Omega is built on an eezo rich asteroid. Omega can build twice as many minor and major mining complexes, compared to a garden world. Omega gets +50% income from these mines.

Cerberus Caches- Once the prime forward operating base for all Terminus Operations, the scars of occupation continue to linger into the present day. One item of particular noteworthiness were the numerous scientific facilities that blurred the line of man and machine. Every six months Omega receives a free elite specialist that comes with RCA and biotics free.

Cons: Pirate and Smuggler Den - While Piracy and Smuggling has given birth to Omega, it is now becoming a plague and has caused a great deal of inflation of some not so everyday items. Prices for Infantry other than Militia are 25% higher and all upgrades are 15% more costly.

Mercenary Hub - Omega houses several mercenary factions which are at war with one another frequenly. Blue Suns, Eclipse, and Blood Pack all have their own territory guarded by 4 Infantry each. So long as these Merc companies control sections of Omega, Urban Areas receive 25% less income, however these units will respond to any hostile attack on Omega.

Pros: Quarian Pilgrimage - Old ways die hard, and custom dictates that thousands of young Quarians are sent out to the Galaxy of value. Every month a random positive event, where a new item is acquired, is guaranteed. (Negative rolls are not affected by this)

Recolonization: With the conquest of Rannoch, and such a small population there is a large amount of resources that can be spread around. All Urban Areas produce 35 credits a month.

Geth killers: With centuries of perfecting techniques to kill Geth, the Quarian people are well-endowed in their technical know-how. Enhanced Electronic Warfare only costs 10% as an upgrade for both ships and ground units. Does not count as an upgrade for ground units.

Cons:
Small Population: Despite a population growth spurt over the last ten years, the number of Quarians are easily dwarved by some large off-world colonies of other species. Quarian life is precious and expensive to replace, and this can be manifested in a variety of ways. Planetary production capability looses 100 credits, and all non-Rannoch garden words produce 5% less.

Fragile Suits - The Quarian people have grown accustomed to wearing their suits and suffer greatly without them. Quarian all non-armored ground units cost 25% more and raise the cost of biotic infantry to 100%.

Pro:Capitalist Paradise: With little regulations and obtrusive bureaucracy, Ilium has become a protective world for a variety of up and coming Salarian and human trans-galactic corporations. All industrial yards, shipyards, and gambling dens produce 15% more.

Blue Rose Society: With a large block of supportive Asari Elites and Intellectuals, Councilor T'vesh is one of the most popular Asari leaders in the Galaxy. With the rise of the Blue Rose Society, as long as T'vesh is Councilor, Ilium receives 5% of the income from the largest Asari factions. This does not take any income from the faction.

Con: Asari Disunity: With the destruction of the Republics, and the destruction of their cultural hegemony, the Asari are in a new tentative position. Establishing new colonies within Citadel Space is difficult with the ingrained hatred toward the species. All colonies based in Citadel Space yield 10% less, until the Asari have a seat on the council.

Eschewed outlook- If it doesn't make money, the elite of IIium don't want it. All Starships must be built without upgrades.(upgrades must be purchased a minimum of one month after completion)

Pro:Cerberus Remnant: With the destruction of the Human Supremacy movement, many former Cerberus units are looking for work. Luckily the Aristocracy provides them sanctuary. Every three months a variety of randomized new units of varying quality and size will arrive.

Reaper Cybernetics: The failed scientific facilities do provide some value, nearly a decade after their closure. Reaper Cybernetic Upgrades are only double the price of the unit.

Con:Corruption: The Oligarchy that runs the economy and well most of the planet, are not chosen for their economic merit. Most of the planet is poorly run with bribes and corruption running rampant. Every month a randomized amount of credits is lost to these officials.

Argentina: Whether exaggerated or not, the image of a Cerberus safe-haven has started to grow throughout the galaxy. This has caught the ire of many within the Terminus as well as System's space. Every month there is a certain chance of guerrilla attacks on various installations not on your home world.

[Turkducken]

I can make a convincing player for any factions left, but do any need to be filled immediately? Almost all that are left are relatively minor players on the Galactic Stage, but I'd be more than happy to fill anything necessary.
