That'd be fascinating to see done well. How would you port their tactics to a FT setting?

Well, light fast-attack corvettes would certainly serve the purpose. Huge hordes of those could take down almost anything.

I'm not quite sure yet, actually. Something along the lines of small ships with long range weapons making a series of short FTL jumps in great big circles around enemy fleets, firing shots at them with their long ranged weapons, and then charging in with powerful glass cannon ships to cause excessive damage and then retreat.

Of course, the Mongols adapted and changed weapons to fit the enemy at hand. I'll do much the same. I'll have to study their tactics and any suggestions you might have would be much appreciated.

Yes, lets all do Space Europe, everyone. I will be the Frenchmen.
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

TNF, you should use that worm colony nation you were talking about in Zodiac. That or the giant amphibious land stingrays.

Once we got some dude doing Germany/Austria, France, or America then we have a problem emulating earth cultures.

I don't really think Mongols or Persians (haven't decided if it'll be Sassanid or a later group) is "emulating" much given how A.) they're not entirely common in the FT setting and B.) knowing TNF, both of us are going to have enough original flare to it.

Whatever. I'm letting my sore personal feelings from my RL situation get into my NS posts, which means its time for me to head off and deal with my problems.
