FAR II [FT Galaxy/Community][Open to Applications]

[Transoxthraxia]

On the app: I don't see any reason why nanotech and biotech should stand out. If we're putting profiency in there, we should add spaceflight, physics, energy weapons, kinetic weapons, gravitic manipulation, construction, energy shielding.....

Or just take those off.

Those two just came to mind - they're useful for putting down information on the technological advancement of civilizations so people can know what they can and can't do. Other types of technology will be put down soon enough.

I still don't like them, because Biotech is stupid and I don't respect it; fornication is all that we do.

But seriously, my IC nation uses neither Nano or Bio, so why should we be punished for not using it?

Punished? What?

I don't think you'd be punished for it, it's just on the app. Also, biotech is really cool.

But those two really actually aren't very good judges of technical capabilities. Large-scale engineering, spaceflight, weapons tech......those would be much better judges of tech capability. As long as you put in other types, I'm fine with it.

Although, since some people like to think outside the box, you might add under "Species App" their base element.

Those others shall be added as well, and the base element.

No it doesn't.

Can we just make a separate app section for tech, which encompasses FTL, as well as weapons, etc?

Why though? Why not include it in the main app?

The tech section idea is a good one.

Doesn't what? I said it was awesome, that's all. And a promising field, too.

[Groko]

Is this still active?

[Oogium]

Is this still active?

Currently, no. Someone will TG you when the next iteration is ready for business.

[Equalsun Empire]

Tagged for interest.

[FarHalon]

Realized that I hadn't posted anything in a while; Thought I'd make one to say that I'm still here, and still interested. I skimmed over the new premise, and I like the concept a lot; I'm going to go back and read it more in-depth, maybe give some actual input.

I have something like five separate alien concepts buzzing around my head right now, and it might give me some time to develop them.

I'll try to stay in touch more.

[Caecuser]

I am of the unpopular opinion that there needs to be a little standardization in one bit technology and that is FTL. I think it might be best if everybody used the same form of FTL but perhaps with slight variations in how fast individual engines can enter and leave as well as how fast they travel.

[Toishima]

If you ask me, the technology and military sections should be split. Not all technology is military, after all. I tried my hand at modifying the app, apologies if it is not up to standard or is disagreeable.

Okay Toi, that is good.

[Equalsun Empire]

Question: Do you have to start as an age-old civilization? Or could you be a far-flung, lost colony fleet from another galaxy?

[Transoxthraxia]

Question: Do you have to start as an age-old civilization? Or could you be a far-flung, lost colony fleet from another galaxy?

Well, this actually brings us to the "human question", which is, how are humans around? To answer this question, along with yours, the short answer is yes, you may. Humans are all descended from Earth (Terra?) which was an ancient and star-spanning empire, until the sudden collapse years ago due to the ecological destruction of their planet. Their colonies, for the most part, still survive, harbouring legends of Terra.

[Equalsun Empire]

Civilization Name: Eldenian Empire
Civilization Age: Immensely old, but this is a long-lost colony fleet
Government type: Immortal Monarchy
Home/Capital planet: Compassia
Government Information: The government of the Eldenian Empire is a monarchy. However, due to the immensely long-living Eldar, it is considered an immortal monarchy: there will never be a change in power.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Military Doctrine: The EEM uses single ships to take on vast fleets, as it is very difficult for us to rally our few ships for giant conflict. Swords are still highly used in the EEM, as they are an effective melee weapon and significant to our culture.
Foreign policy: The Eldenian Empire is very isolationist,
Technological Age (Years beyond RL earth): Millenia
FTL Age (Years civilization has had FTL): Hundreds of years
Military Information: The EEM is very elite, but must be spread thin. Though they have immense technological might, their population limits them to a small military.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Population: 10000
Founding Species: Eldar
Other Species: There are none
Sphere of Influence Size: One system, for the moment
Major Civilian industries/Services: Construction, Electricity
Society and Cultural information: The EE society is very convoluted, due to their biology.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NS activity: Relatively active
Technological Bases: FanT, FT

Summary of your nation (a Paragraph) The Eldenian Empire is a vast, encompassing empire. However, in the year 12930, a colony fleet, with accompanying escort, went missing. Attempts to find it were fruitless. Now, it has landed in a new, undiscovered, unknown galaxy, completely cut off from the main empire.
Sum up your nation and government in a few sentences: A lost group of Sequencer frigates and a colony fleet, in an unknown galaxy.

Information: This is a super-advanced civilization, lost in a completely new sector of space. With no way back to their starting point, they have plans to colonize this galaxy instead.
Disadvantages: Low population, Instant death upon injury

Question: Is there any exceptions for the FTL rule? One of the defining characteristics for my empire is instant teleportation.

[Oogium]

Teleportation?


That might be okay, as long as you have a receiver, and a sender, and a sort of "highway" for all the particles. It wouldn't be quite instantaneous, but I think it'd be fine.












Also, I'm not really sure how this'll go over. The whole "ancient extragalactic" thing, especially with as little detail as you put in, is kinda shaky ground.

[Escalan Corps-Star Island]

Though what I did was fine. . ? Whatever. I like this new app and organization.

[Canuckland]

I'm in both NEAR and Zodiac, just so you know.

I was wondering if this was still on grounds for signing up for, or if it's just dead and this is just bragging rights now.

This is, as of now, closed for maintenance reasons. A new thread for the invigorated group will be up shortly.

Oh. Well, I am letting you know I will be applying for an app when it opens. Let's hope this FAR will be better than the last two.

The first one was great. This one kinda didn't go so well. And the third most likely won't be known as FAR.
