Wealth For Beta (FT, OOC, Signup)

[Doppio Giudici]

IC link:

Wealth for Beta is a simple Future Tech RP, involving the exploration of a small portion of Beta Quadrent, that is isolated from the rest. There are wormholes in the area that allow for other quadrents or galaxies to end up in "Thora Psi", but there is only so many of those things.

Since it's such a small collection of stars and even I don't know what exactly is here, I only view what was randomly generated when we get to a planet or space station (Meaning the specifics, I can see what a planet is, but don't know who exactly is in charge.); it's not needed to have figured out the history of the area or for any players showing up to really have complex cultures or even be their own Star Nation. You could RP as one of the planets we run into or as a ship traveling with the main exploration fleet or even be a competing exploration fleet.

Gameplay will be part trading and exploration, part regime change or imperialism, and part world-building.

Rules:

There are some, but not as many as you would think; I try to keep mine fair but firm.

1. All new players enter the setting with none of the systems under their control, or without a small fleet. So either you are from one of these planets, or you are from somewhere else.

2. The Tech Level or TL is somewhere between 11-13 on this chart. Most of us so far are TL 11.3-11.9, based off TTL. If you are from one of the planets in this area, your tech level could be a lot lower, but you could have many more people and local resources.

3. Mechas are fine, but you can't spam them, nor can you make them overpowered.

4. Systems are randomly generated using statistics, a lot of them come up as dumpy red-stars with poor pit-stop stations or larger rest-stop stations, we are talking 70% of stars. Be prepared to value yellow stars like never before.

5. Each fleet is roughly as powerful as another, but they are overall very small with maybe a handful of ships at 1.5 kilometers or comparable length; none really longer.

6. It takes hours to get from system to system typically, and moving within a system involves several jumps at close to or higher then light speed. Keep in mind that it takes seven or more hours for light to get from the Sun to Pluto. On top of that, it would suck if people just jumped next to your home planet and razed it.

7. Please be as sportsman as possible, and try to play with heart and/or skill. We are not here to inflate our egos, we are here to tell stories and experience a fair challenge. Be prepared to take losses if you fight people.

8. Anything that is "technically not against the rules" is against the rules.

9. Heavily fortified habitable planets will force you to remember rule number 7. Either you take nothing, because it's all been destroyed, or you take extreme losses.

10. If we do a time skip, do not try to conquer huge sections of territory. You can pacify what you obtained and heal what is damaged.'

No player can bring in more military ships, but everyone can bring in more trade ships as needed. There is a list of types of trade goods you can provide, and each planet has a list of goods they can provide. All you need to understand, is that most trade ships might hold 1,000 containers of 25 tons each. The smallest unit of trade cargo is a ton. Each planet can only provide a ton of cargo of any type, for every 500 people they have, and they can only buy a ton of cargo of any type, per 500 people.

There is many types of cargo, and each side or planet has types they have in surplus and types they desire. What they have in surplus is typically 20% cheaper, and what they need they are typically willing to pay 120% value for. Here are the current written down types of cargo.

So as an example, in the local area, "Pundi Rice" is Common, Bulk, and Agricultural. It's important, but low in value and heavy, which means the value per ton is 50 Trade Units.

Ralos-made Rifled Muskets, are special in that they are: Common, Low-Tech, and don't actually count as "Military".

Suggestions:

1. Can you please keep your middle class ships between 1 and 3 kilometers, with really serious ones at 3-5kms? Ships much bigger are hard to understand and comprehend, and it's just easier to use ship sizes we understand, or are based off ships from Star-Wars or others RPs.

2. If possible, can your fighters have thrusters on all sides? There is no friction in space, the brake is literally going backwards till you stop.

This is my application, for those who want an example.

Power Source: Democracy

System Size: Not Important

Religious Stance: Hybrid

Military Formation: Professional Volunteers (Mercenaries,Monks) [If it's more then one, put your most important down as your first and put others in ()]

Total Fleets: Not Important

Primal Value Hierarchy

1. Belief (For a long time, this value was tied with survival. With the tasting of democracy and the power to affect nations or peoples not their own, in a positive way, they became obsessed with it. Now, in many respects, survival is a backseat to the ideas worth dying for.

2. Survival (For most of their existence, this was the core value of Illumien culture, or it was at least tied with Belief. Most of their beliefs were about survival, and they adopted democracy, or belief, or science simply to survive.)

3. Evolution (Evolution isn't hated, nor is it really that exciting to most people in the culture. It's merely a progress to become more sacred, to further ideals, and become more capable at surviving.)

4. Strength (Illumiens believe that the weaker you look, the stronger you can potentially be. Behaviors such as "love", "understanding" and "empathy", are seen by them as ways to overpower their enemies and destroy them.)

5. Wealth (Illumien Companies spend their profits on research or hiring more people. Many companies are controlled by the state and simply exist to fill needs while creating jobs. In many respects, Illumiens hate wealth because it just sits around and isn't invested. It's better to use one's wealth to obtain more glory or make an impact.

Hopefully did this app correctly for you. Fyrden is the host of the expeditionary force heading into the region of space. It is from there that trade ships and potential colonists would arrive from. Used the Founding Date based on my nation's calendar as I am unsure exactly the current canon date for this. I can make adjustments as needed this way.

Colonial Government of Fyrden

Power Balance: Federation
Power Source: Oligarchy
System Size: N/A
Religious Stance: Hybrid
Military Formation: Professional Volunteers
Founding Date: 33 Gyre 3977 KC
History: Fyrden is the oldest colony near the MW Galaxy of the Federal Monarchy. The Colonial Government functions nearly autonomously from the Central Government in the Mri'verse. This permits it to act almost as if it were an independent nation of its own. This has recently turned to exploration and colonialism itself. Following reports that pirates were acting within Thora Psi, the Governor of Fyrden ordered an expeditionary force to enter the area to discover if the region has any potential uses for the citizenry of Fyrden. To do this, the Colonial Government hired Captain Vi Roygaris from a nearby Colonial System to lead the expedition.
Total Fleets: Expeditionary Fleet - 1 Spectral Class Rift Cruiser, 11 Gwarm Light Cruisers, 1 Venator III Star Destroyer (For Troop Transport and Equipment Transport)

Primal Value Hierarchy

1. Strength - Localized Military might is required for colonial governments which act independently of the central authority
2. Wealth - A colonial government requires wealth. While not always of the monetary type, typically wealth for a colony is measured in industry and resource control
3. Evolution - Scientific advancement is paramount in a society which is strung together across various universes.
4. Belief - A strong cornerstone of Mri Society in general is the acknowledgement of the influence the Gods have had and continue to have over matters within the Federal Monarchy's dominions.
4. Survival - Less important than it has been in the past, Mri society has been in a safe enough position to not heavily fortify every system which comes under its control

You are now in this system. Zeri is the only world you detect with a suitable climate, oxygen, and life on it. Pick one of the things in this system to look over, and make your first post, if you would.

Things to have in your first post would be introducing your expedition leader, what resources he is bringing, what kind of ships are in his little group, and how he looks over or contacts whichever part of this system he contacts.

I approve, sorry about that. I tend to skim read. By link above me, do you mean the map, or something in the original post?
