  • @ Codename: I believe we need to bring this matter to jacob, but it makes no sense for you not to have to pay to explore for hidden bases. @ VD: That´s <i>Pirate´s League </i> <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=mid

  • The exploration for NEW systems is 50 credits. The exploration for HIDDEN bases is 0 credits, you just have to have a force that you send. Also, the Corsairs and Outcasts can form together to make a house... Edited by - ww2jacob on 12/20/2004 1:35:21 PM

  • Damn. BUGGAH. I really think there should be a price on that tho--even something as small as 25 credits. Otherwise, what´s to stop Houses from sending colossal armies to look for bases? Nothing. *Our Allies, the Corsairs, gain knowledge of all Hessian bases in return for the knowledge of their bases* Edited by - [ACWilde on 12/20/2004 1:41:21 PM

  • OOC: Umm Wilde sorry to intervene on this matter and this does not reflect the Rouges opinion but you said that the Hessians have never attacked a civilian or a civilian ship. But in their description in FL it says that they often attack commercial, military and CIVILIAN targets. Like I said before, this does not reflect my views IC. In fact, the Rouges may be interested in becoming a type of sub-member in the Pirates League. I will need to consult with my current allies first. Edited by - Roc on 12/20/2004 1:56:39 PM

  • You have to win the battle to find the base--unless your number is a 1. Triyun, please move fighters to help me protect Vogtland while I´m in battle. on 15 wings or so <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> pleeease? @ roc: I think you´re mistaking the Hessian´s description for the Corsairs. It says we are a group of unemployed miners who vow to change the face of Rhineland government. The idea that we would ever attack a civilian target...that is a cruel conspiracy spread by the former Rhineland corporations and government. I say the truth when I tell you this: no Hessian has ever killed a civilian target. @ Codename: there´s nothing special about my email. It´s Wilde.ii@gmail.com, easily accessible over the site. Just don´t send me any viruses or anything weird. Edited by - [ACWilde on 12/20/2004 2:02:25 PM

  • Well I can understand that if in this RP you want to say that they have never attacked a civilian and that is just lies pressed by Rhineland, but I do have the description right. I actually do think it is a good idea to say that you never killed or attacked a civilian. In my opinion the coolest factions are the rebels fighting for a better life and not just for money and gain (like the Blood Dragons, Gaians, Bundschuh, ect.). I know of a site that tells you the descriptions of all the factions. I will edit this post and include a link to the site in a sec.

  • No don´t bother, I checked the game myself and the description is right. seeing as the website´s back up (finally!) I´m going to post my fleet movements for today... 1. 5 LF wings attacking Freistadt to go directly to Vogtland. 10 wings of the attack force on Freeport 1 to proceed to Vogtland as well. 5 wings of the attack force to go to Freital.

  • To clear this up, here is the word-for-word description of the Red Hessians... <font size=1 face="trebuchet ms"><BLOCKQUOTE><hr size=1 noshade>Red Hessians ALLIES: LWB ENEMIES: Corsairs, Daumann, Kruger, Rheinland Police, Rheinland Military, Bretonia Armed Forces, Bounty Hunters, Outcasts, House Shippers The Red Hessians are a criminal group composed largely of unemployed miners operating out of Rheinland space who attack civilian and commercial targets of opportunity. <hr size=1 noshade></BLOCKQUOTE></font><font face=´trebuchet ms, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica´ size=2> Edited by - ww2jacob on 12/21/2004 11:59:07 AM

  • PLEASE wait on posting any further turns. I am working on a new calculator and should have it working in another day or two. It would save a great deal of confusion if everyone waited until it is finished and available before posting any formal turns. Also, everyone needs to post their ship stats and give ww2jacob a chance to inspect them before anyone posts battle or exploration.

    "Shogunate of Kusari in mind but always a Blood Dragon at heart"

  • True, and due to the Grace Period rule, there should be no battles anyway. Turn 1 will last until the calculator comes out. Furthermore, there will be no PC or NPC battles in the turn.

  • OOC: VD post your stats so we can double check them. Jacob, check your mail soon for a proposal of labor division for judging. I don´t want a house formed, I´d rather keep the two independant of eachother and just allies. Uber powerful VHF´s are better than weak cap ships. @ Red Hessians: We´ll send you reinforcements as soon as they become available. @ Outcasts: While we agree piracy is an unlawful practice, our attacking of hostile power bases in a conventional military sense is no different than what the houses are doing. You know as well as we do that we are not committing anything illegal. The houses double standard when they attack a base it is legitmate and when we do it is illegitimate is not to stand. Our forces have good relations with Kusari and Bretonia, and intend to with Liberty. We do however plan on securing our border with Rheinland.

  • I just read Codename´s turn and something else came to my attention. You cannot make any ship´s stat over 9. Since there are only #s 1-10, having 12s is not exactly fair.

  • Unfortunately something has come up and i will not be able to play for alittle bit, on top of that my connection with TLR is shaky at best as i have a hard time getting connected to the website, so jacob feel free to assign my faction to anybody that wants it as i don´t have the time right now.

  • Jacob I say let him, if he wants to have only 1 attack against fighters let him! Of course this is really easy to say for non-capship factions.

  • aww poopity schloop. Oh well. *sigh* in that case, the Hessian attack forces remain in Omegas 3 and 7 for the time being. I may not be allowed to attack, but I´m not moving my forces out of those systems! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> heehee. They are still claimed--except for Omega 3--in the name of the Pirate´s League. @ Triyun: heehee it´s true...but I suppose JAcob would be worried about it, he has cap ships. *The Corsairs gain the designs for the Hessian bomber* Edited by - [ACWilde on 12/21/2004 1:24:44 PM

  • Ageria turn: 1 (Keeper class) LF stats: 4 FA 1 FD 2 CA 1 CD (Vengance class) HF stats: 5 FA 2 FD 4 CA 2 CD ( 1 free point used here) (Avenger class) VHF stats 7 FA (1 free point used here.) 4 FD 5 CA 3 CD (2 free points used here) (Protector class) Gunboat stats 4 FA 3 FD 8 CA 5 CD Credits: 200+35+30=265 resources: 6 M/ 2 H-F/ 7 F/ 0 H2O/ 0 O Bases: (Small) Detriot Munitions: New york 5 lf (Large) Pueblo station : Colorado (I can see there is gonna be a problem here...) 10 LF To Liberty: As your best asset, we are in need currently of some water and oxygen for base construction. Can you supply us for enough for one small base? Please? Or for even half of one small base? I don´t like begging, but I´m over a barrel. I only need the oxygen and water costs. I´ll help you find a new system and throw in a jumpgate to it, and a single free tradelane for it. What do you say? To DSE: As your partner in construction, we are currently in need of water and oxygen. Can you supply just enough for one small base, or even half of the cost of a small base, Please? I´m sorta over a barrel this time. I only need the oxygen and water. To zoners: We have helped you reach your secritive homes, and we need a little assistance. We´re over a barrel, and would really appreciate it if you could supply us with half the resource cost in water and oxygen for a small base. Can you help us? To all non-criminal organizations: It seems that our fair world is quickly becoming sour. We ask that you help us, help everyone, in this time of need. Find the criminal´s home systems, and we can enable you to send a strike force straight to them. The problem is, we are currently unable to do so because of recent issues in the past, and we currently lack the resources to build new stations. We need your help, and helping us, helps yourself. We need oxygen and water, supply us, and we´ll help you when we can. Ageira news =New Avenger series fighters a hit!= Headmanager Richardson was seen today showing off for the crowds on liberty the new Aveger series fighters, the latest creation of Agiera technology. These new fighter designs will insure that future pilots will be safe from roving pirate bands, and will have an enjoyable, and survivable future in the face of coming war. He has also bought the prototype Avenger for himself at 110% of the cost, out of his own meager personal salary. =Ageira to be selling avenger series fighters!= Agiera, in order to offset the rising costs of maintaining itself, will be offering Avenger series fighters. The prices are: LF´s: 4 crd/ 2 M/ 1 H2O/ 2 O HF´s: 9 crd/ 3 M/ 2 H2O/ 3 O Avengers (VHF): 19 crd/ 5 M/ 3 H2O/ 4 O The cost is mainly to assist us in covering the cost of a new fighter shipyard, and to help us pay for our future projects. Merely send us the required resources, and we will put you on our list and build your ships as fast as possible. We thank you for your intrest (We hope.) (OOC: yes, you can buy from me. I will do exactly as I said in the news cast, if that is what it takes to get my new base. As soon as this is accomplished, I will lower the prices on all craft. I would especially suggest this option for the water and oxygen rich factions. [C´mon guys, help me out, and the cost will significantly drop faster than you think. End turn.

  • dammit richardson, go home! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> To all factions: I would not trust this man. He backstabbed the chancellor of Rhineland multiple times, and the president of Liberty, and betrayed the former Elders of Crete. I think I speak the truth when I say he will backstab any who help him now. He is only concerned with profit for himself. His pleas for help are not to be listened to. To Richardson: What...&quot;fair world&quot; do you speak of? the One in which obese and sordid CEOs such as yourself needlessly and inhumanely overwork, underpay, and then lay off the proletarian workers? You and all your kind are a plague on what could be a fair, beautiful world if you did not mechanically punish your own workers so. @ Triyun: Thanks for the promised help <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. Also, it would be easier for both of us if we allowed each other access to our bases in all systems--it would boost up commodity amount as well as income per turn and save both of us great amounts of money.

  • Oh I forgot. Assuming this is legal. @ AC Wilde: The Corsairs are transferring our new VHF design to you. It is by far the most powerful fighter in existence.
