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

[Equalsun Empire]

That was one idea. I had another for a race of nomads based on the Mongols. Even had a quote for some dialogue during a diplomacy thread.

"Your palace is beautiful and may very well stand the test of time, but my yurt-ship can go anyway at any time."

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.

[Premislyd]

What you guys are coming up with sounds really damned good and I can't wait to join. I'm just conflicted with what to join as.

Space Ottomans. Space Janissaries alongside my Space Redcoats and Space Ships-of-the-Line will be simply spectacular.

I... is it bad that I was actually going to do space ottomans?

If you want to do Space Ottomans I don't mind doing Space Mongols.

Yes, lets all do Space Europe, everyone. I will be the Frenchmen.

Nah, I can find something else, to be honest.

Do it.

Then we simply need a wormhole/gate system to function as the Dardanelles.

[Yortini Systems]

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

Ummayads and Robo-Hungary oooooo

Haha I don't know enough about the Ummayads to roll with them sadly. But Vlad might.

And Rampany Brittania stands ever ready to aid her allies with shot and piss. Shot into her enemies' lines, and piss and vinegar for her own stalwart men.

[Yortini Systems]

Hmm, space ottomans. I'm seriously considering doing space Armenians now.

Naaah.

And sadly I know little about the Ottomans.

Persia on the other hand...

So you're not doing the Ottomans?

Nah, don't know enough about them to do it effectively, sadly.

Hmm. Well now I'm torn between the Space Mongols or the Space Ottomans.

[Transoxthraxia]

Why do we have to emulate Earthly cultures?

[Premislyd]

Why do we have to emulate Earthly cultures?

Only the ones worth doing.

[Transoxthraxia]

Hardly.

[Premislyd]

Hardly.

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.

Well, Assyrians/Huns/Mongol flair. I really just want to cover starships in the flayed hides of my enemies. Maybe use some sort of void shield to ensure they don't deteriorate.

Best of luck, Foxy Soxy.
