How many planets/solar systems are in a single hex?

As in reality I would presume it varies between each system how many planets there are, and even less so how many immediately habitable ones there are.

As for the number of stars, I guess that depends on the density of your original hex and the visible star clusters of the hex you're taking.

Woah, six hexagons is a lot of space to start off with. That's probably thousands of star systems alone!

Yeah, it is a bit much, considering the Milky Way contains 100-400 billion stars - a single hex contains between 166,666,666.67 stars on the high end, to 416,666.67 on the low end. That being said, sure, Canuckland can expand into six different hexes if he likes, but he won't control them very well. He'll only have a presence, and a small-scale one at this point. It will take a lot of time and effort to secure any real control over an entire hex.

Hmm. Tempted to either make a secondary nation of Orks or pseudo-Necrons.

Hey guys.
Made my first RP. It's about a shuttle getting lost, because of a gate malfunction. The crew doesn't know where they are and now tries to get back home. But what they will encounter, they don't know. If you like to join, tell me here or TG me and don't bring your whole star-killing-fleet stuff^^
This is intended to become a character RP with small groups.

Anyone interested?

What were you looking for?

[Hobbeebia]

See military Factbook

My ship designs mainly...

[Arcerion]

How many planets/solar systems are in a single hex?

For this hex, five planets, with three to four moons each. Only one has a liveable climate.

[Hobbeebia]

OK!

A long over due ADMIN thing I need to do is update the Active RP's for the first page.

If you are the OP of an RP- Historical or not- Please Submit a link to me as quickly as possible so it can be added to the list I am making!

Civilization Name: Kna'Menh
Government type: Oligarchy
Home/Capital planet: Unknown
Government Information: The government of the Kna'Menh, rather than acting as supreme rulers to the race, instead are regarded as peerless advisers - Rather than regulating and representing the Kna'Menh, the Council control a significant portion of the race's resources and infrastructure and as such decide how to allot them to benefit themselves and their peers. Aside from presiding over their material wealth and using it as they see fit, the Council has no power other the rest of the Kna'Menh - The race is almost totally self-autonomous, without need of a central regulatory body.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Population: 85,000,000
Species name: Kna'Menh
Founding Species: Kna'Menh
Other Species: None.
Major Civilian industries/Services:
Society and Cultural information: Little is known of the Kna'Menh culture - Indeed, the etymology of the name was only unearthed a few decades ago (Kna'Menh: lit. 'My Race'). What is known however is that the Kna'Menh live in very small groups, each of which is confined to their current living space (usually a ship), though it does not seem to have any adverse impact on their social behavior. All telepathic as a result of their advanced nanotechnology, the Kna'Menh are naturally very uniform in their thoughts and mannerisms. Since their arrival in the system around 3,500 years ago, there have been no reports of internal tensions between the Kna'Menh. Secretive yet inquisitive, the Kna'Menh readily use their advanced technology to observe other races for dozens, if not hundreds of years, gathering all visual and communicative data they can before they make their move. There have been scattered reports of races across the galaxy being abducted by the Kna'Menh, and aside from first-contact meeting footage between the Kna'Menh and other races, all knowledge of the race comes from these abduction testaments.
Respiratory Gas: N₂ (Their exosuits readily provide the gas in almost limitless quantities).
Base Form: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs42/i/2009/ ... heDaRk.jpg
Life span: Indefinite.
Intelligence (scale of 1-10 10 being like forerunner and 1 being cavemen): 10
Natural defenses/abilities: It is unknown what natural defenses the Kna'Menh possess - All observed wear their exosuits at all times. Reports have hinted that the Kna'Menh are genetically engineered cyborgs, perfectly meshed with their armor (which also serves as their means of respiration, energy, senses, extreme strength and durability and advanced cognitive thinking). It is yet unknown how far their exosuits augment their abilities, as no sample of an unsuited Kna'Menh has been recovered.
Aggression: 1
Information: No further information is known of the Kna'Menh at this time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Military Doctrine: Unknown. Few reports of combat between the Kna'Menh and other races reveal their reliance on 'shock and awe' tactics.
Foreign policy: Abduction of individuals or hosted meetings with 'people of power' - The Kna'Menh are cautious and rarely reveal themselves to others on a large scale.
Technological Age (Years beyond RL earth): What? Are you seriously expecting me to estimate? I'unno. A few million?
FTL Capabilities: It is thought that the Kna'Menh used wormhole technology on a large-scale to enter this galaxy from their own. At the moment, the Kna'Menh use advanced warp-drive technology (100x FTL) onboard all of their ships.
Military Information: Will do soon.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NS activity:
Technological Bases: Will do soon.

[Caecuser]

Hey Hobb, I'm gonna repost my app with some significant changes to it - but not enough changes to detract from anything I've currently posted in any IC threads.

[Hobbeebia]

????? What kind of changes ?????

[Aquitayne]

Hobb - I think we need an Admin ruling on what comprises a hex. Because the realistic numbers would put it way too large for anyone to realistically control while Arcerion's number has it waayyy too low. So, what will it be generally?

Also, when I get my rifle armaments created I'll make a comprehensive factbook with all of my military equipment. As per your other request: Emergence.

[Caecuser]

????? What kind of changes ?????

Species, governmental structure, military structure and location. As well as just about everything else.

[Arcerion]

Hey Hobb, Blood and Commerce, and While the Flame Burns are both mine.

[Arcerion]

Guys, thoughts. What if I changed my armies to sue military-styled medieval weapons. So energy swords, shields, and crossbows. This is going against my current arsenal of plasma weapons.

[Aquitayne]

I would say your men would get mowed down before they got within range to use said weapons.

On a boarding aspect, though, this could potentially be more effective, but I'm not optimistic as to how much.

Hobbeebia and I are brainstorming on this now.

Just a question... but why? If I'm not mistaken, this is the third change to your app. It's a bit late in the game, so to speak, to be running about changing things willy-nilly without doing so via RP.

Good call. The medieval style weaponry sounds cool but in practise would most likely be horribly impractical.

Well that solves that. Unless I could have Plasteel shields. Would that hep maybe..?

Don't worry, nothing will be so different that a retcon will be in place. I've not taken too large a part in the RPs going on right now.

It will be the second change I believe. And the first one was a slight population/species change. I've felt uncreative and bored with that first selection so I'm just going to mix it up a bit and replace it with something easier to RP.
