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

You mean plasteel armor? Sure, you can have that. It might balance it out a little more... you're still going to be at a distinct range disadvantage, though. Unless you mean energy crossbows as basically energy blasters in crossbow shape - no real difference except in looks. That would work, I guess, but then you might as well just upgrade your plasma weapons in that sense.

Damnit. Hmm. And yes, Plasteel armour, maybe have shields made out of it..? Not sure.

I don't know. I am figuring out my structure, as my forces right now are just anything slapped together.

Okay, you mean like kite and tower shields. Yeah, you can do that. I thought you mean force shields, and I was like "you can't make energy shields out of physical matter!" Silly me.

Sure, sounds good. Go for it.

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.

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.

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

That spells retcon. If you want to make such extensive changes, I think you're going to have to destroy your current people - RP some stellar crisis, such as a nova in your home system, or the Ventorie wiping everything out, or a passing black hole - something that will utterly obliterate them, and then submit a new app and start from scratch. As I said, it's a bit late to be just asking "Hey, I'm tired of this, can I change what I don't like even though it's 'just about everything' and we've already started RPing?" without doing something IC to explain the sudden switch over.

As Hobbeebia says, "too much, too late".

Yeah. I have a decent organized structure now. Check the bottom for the unit formations. So, thoughts on it? How is it? I still need to do fleet formations, etc.

Official ADMIN Ruling

1 Hex = 10,000 Star Systems

Of those 10,000 Star Systems there are 100 Systems that contain a number of habitable planets within orbit. The number of habitable planets at a minimum is 1 and a max of three per system. To control a system you must colonize one of the planets through RP either open or closed, and provide enough detail in the RP to fill out a factsheet for the planet (See below for Blank sheet and example). If the Rp covers all of the factsheet requirement then the planet is colonized and you may officially increase your population by 1.5 Billion upon confirmation of a successful colonization- NOTE: Population of colony can rise to 3 billion if the colony is used as a place of concern in an open RP in which other nations can try an impede its growth. Once you colonize 5 systems and have no other competition within the Hex you will be considered to be in Full control of a Hex. Until you fully control the hex the map will reflect your PRESENCE in the Hex.

10,000 star systems? Holy mother of God. That is going to require a lot more patrol fleets now.

Edit: I have to go revamp my colonization post now. Check back on it in a few hours for more details.

Also, Hob, thoughts on when the influence map will come?

Don't worry - I haven't RPed a single event involving a H'rulka or my Home System/Planet, only scouting AIs and long-range outposts, things that I'm keeping in my changed nation. I'm just removing the H'rulka and messing around with the governmental/military hierarchy. I'll post the new app later once it's done.

[Arcerion]

So question. If we are claiming a new hex, do we just spolier the colonial spreadsheet at the top of the page?

[Hobbeebia]

@ Caecuser

I dont see a real issue with removing elements of your nation that have yet to be RPed to any extent. However, I do not want to set a precedent of allowing massive changes to nations without IC reasons given for documentation purposes.

That being said I dont see a real reason why an IC RP cant be made in which your A.I's wholesale slaughter the H'ulkra(SP) and establish a new state. There are ways around completely scrapping a people and starting from scratch. It would allow for the changes you wish to make to your nation, while also giving us something to read, and something for me to add to the Overall Story Arc on the first post.

Or like Arcturus said.. use the Ventorie... LOL

@Arcerion

It will go at the last post of your RP filled out. After that I will read over the RP and look for the items that where filled out and give you a confirmation.

Okay. So have it as the last post. And then, use its elements within the thread. Scientists talking about the atmosphere, types of minerals; Generals talking about force deployments. That kind of thing, and just have it all at the end for you to read?

[Hobbeebia]

Yep!

The more detail the better. I got a feeling I'll be reading a lot of these pretty soon so make it interesting

[Arcerion]

I am very excited. 10,000 habitable planets at a minimum. God damnit I maybe will get one team, maybe per planet. So 16 security officers, and some ground crew to service a barracks, a couple heavy weapons, a communications tower, and a landing pad. All whilst freezing to death on some rock-faced surface of a planet.

I feel really bad for some of my men.

[Caecuser]

What level are humans on the Intelligence Scale? A five?

[Aquitayne]

Glad to have that hashed out. But, I have a question:

Does the population immediately bump up by 1.5 billion after colonization through RP or does that have to build up over time in IC years?

My concern is this:

Because you're sending X amount of colonists to planet Y, X amount of people will no longer be on Z,A, or B planets, thus reducing that number of population by X amount of people. So while the population of each planet fluctuates to accommodate colonies, the population of that colony is not going to immediately start with 1.5 billion people living on it. Likewise, would we use the following formula to calculate growth on the colony or just pick numbers from our heads?:

Also! I'm going to drop this here for everyone to use, it's what I used to create the solar system for my Home system, and what I'll be using in the future to create solar systems that I'll be investigating:

For single habitable world construction

Star system generator.

I hope you guys utilize these and find them as useful as I do!

No problem. There's also sci fi name generators on there, lots of cool stuff.

WOW... and I got the feeling I was being to specific when I developed the colony system. Compared to this I was pretty vague.

Humans generally sit on a 5 on the scale yes.

Terraforming exists for uninhabitable systems and you could crazy and plant pressurized dome-cities on top of barren planets.

And thanks for answering my question - finishing my app up now.

While that would be possible, it would need to be just as lengthy as a Colonial RP.
