[u][b]Galaxy at War v 2.0[/b][/u]
It's the year XXX1
We are in a galaxy far, far away
Across the galaxy, a number of species have achieved intelligence and faster than light travel
With massive civilizations to fuel and overpopulation to deal with, these races are compelled to reach out to surrounding systems in hopes of sustaining themselves. How much life is out there? How hostile is the universe? It is up to you to decide.
[u]Crafting Your Race[/u]
Gimme this info about your race first turn:
Name: [What's your race's name?]
Physical Description: [Are they a giant bug? Are they humanoid? Brief description]
Civilization Description: [Is your civilization a mess of polluted industrialism? Is it a haven of skyscrapers and energy-efficient automated homes?]
Technology: [See Weapon Tech below]
Picture: [Optional]
Other information: [If you want, write a novel about your race here]
Then choose your place on the galactic map. Give a general quadrant. Copy-paste it, crop it down, and give me a marker in paint or something. Or just tell me where. I have all of the systems already mapped out, and I'll choose one that works in the area you want.

[u]Space Travel[/u]
Basically, everyone will start out with the same FTL range. This is how far you have access to from any one of your colonized systems or ships. Anything within range of one of your systems is automatically controlled by you. You can move your fleet anywhere within a fleet's range or any of your system's ranges. The range of your ship and system increases based on your research, if that's what you want to research.
[u]Weapon Tech Type[/u]
For the sake of simplicity, you can choose 1 of 8 type of weapon technology, though it is possible for you to have more if you research or trade for them. This serves as your offense and your defense capabilities. They fit into 2 groups:
Physical
These techs make use of more basic and less rare materials, require less energy, and are best for smaller civs. You can upgrade these easier also.
1.[img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38678023/gaw2/kinetic.png[/img] Kinetic: Still in the world of bullets, missiles, and explosives.
2.[img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38678023/gaw2/therm.png[/img] Thermal: Heat and cold manipulation. Basically, the offensive capabilities here are the ability to shoot waves of cold and heat at enemies, causing fracturing to their ships and extreme damage to personnel.
3.[img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38678023/gaw2/bio.png[/img] Biological: Anything from the use of viruses, to genetically engineered offensive capabilities or the use of animals. It is what you make of it.
4.[img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38678023/gaw2/robot.png[/img] Robotic: Beep boop. Relies on nanotechnologies, computer viruses, and the physical act of throwing robots and drones at the enemy's ship. Can be incredibly effective in the right situation, and again, it is what you make of it.
Photonic
These techs require more fissile materials and rare metals, are slow to upgrade, do more damage, and are best for more advanced civs.
5.[img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38678023/gaw2/ion.png[/img] Ionic: Rather complex and based out of energy technology. It's effective at disruption and great at defending against photonic weapons.
6.[img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38678023/gaw2/laser.png[/img] Laser: Uses a lot of fissile materials like uranium and thorium which ar epretty rare but doesn't require the gold and diamonds of ionic technology. Ineffective against ionic defenses, and especially effective against kinetic defenses. We all know what lasers are.
7.[img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38678023/gaw2/elec.png[/img] Electronic: Use of electricity. Can provide some defense from particle-based technology, and is most effective against physical.
8.[img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38678023/gaw2/plasma.png[/img] Plasmatic: A general weapon that is effective against photonic but ineffective against physical.
Here is a chart of weapon effectiveness. Read it as "the weapon on the left is offensively effect against the weapon on the top". i.e. Kinetic weapons (first one) is effective (green) against ionic defenses (the first blue one). Ionic weapons are ineffective (red) against biological defenses. Key: Green=effective, yellow=moderately effective, magenta=variable effectiveness, red=ineffective.

[u]Research[/u]
Research progress is determined by dice roll. I'll give you three rolls each turn, and how you assign the rolls is up to you. Like, you could have 3 research things with one roll each, or two with one roll on one and two on another, or one research with three rolls, doesn't matter. Each roll is added onto the existing roll for that research, until it gets to 100 and then you complete that research.
[u]Resources[/u]
Here is a list of resources available at the start of the game:
Raw Materials
Iron
Copper
Gold
Titanium
Unobtanium
Uranium*
Diamond
Water
Hydrogen
Helium-3*
Oil (fuel)
Rare Eath Metals (REM)
Organic Material
Food
*indicates this is a fissile material

Q&A:
Q: What about A New Order?
A: It will be revived in due time, but for now my GMing of it is on hiatus.
Q: Why is this one worth playing? Why would it not fail?
A: First and primarily I'll have more free time. Secondly, this one will be a lot easier to deal with because I probably won't need to write a mountain of text. As opposed to the intricate socio-economics of nationstate, this one ought to be just people flying around in space. That is to say, don't expect novels and intricate details.
I'm going to join, and create a very curious civilization.
"Galaxy at War is back" Ven says. "Join the new GaW" Ven says. "If you don't I won't bake you a birthday cake" Ven says.
Not fair. I love cake. I guess I'm joining. I'll send my stuff when I get home from uni.
Not that I'm not excited to see this game, Seed. I just have a lot of classes.

Live long and prosper, my friends.
I sent in an application, feel free to put me anywhere you'd like in the galaxy.
Alright, once Sobotnik sends in his turn that'll be five players and we'll get this moving.
I just sent in a turn myself, been waiting for this to get revived for a while.
[QUOTE=Sunny Dei;44654990]I just sent in a turn myself, been waiting for this to get revived for a while.[/QUOTE]
Fuck Yeah it's Sunny D
I'll also be sending in a turn.
Alright folks, we've got 7 players, so we'll go ahead. I've already started working on the turn, and will work on it more tomorrow.
HEY WAIT! Can I join?
[editline]27th April 2014[/editline]
Well I'll send stuff in on Turn 2 to see how it works
It's not too late to send something in yet.
Let's do this, we are the champions, we will rock them etc etc
Brace yourselves, reapers are coming
Hey overpain wanna be allies this time? Throw a curve ball at the world?
I don't even remember who you were or who you are but [b][Redacted][/b]
P.s. Can I get link to the old gaw thread?
My old RP. I'm in.

I'm the one that took your homeworld from you.
Also all the old RP's are in an imgur album in the FPRP General Chat Thread. Should be on page 2 of fast threads.

Oh, the shame
Thanks anyways, mate
Sent mine.
LET'S DO THIS
Alright, we're capped for players. No more applicants for right now.
Turn when?
[QUOTE=overpain;44677994]Turn when?[/QUOTE]
When Lithuania becomes relevant.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;44678000]When Lithuania becomes relevant.[/QUOTE]
Lithuania will become relevant when Poland goes to space
Both of these things will never happen but turn should come today from what I've heard from Seed
Def tomorrow
planet mapping took a wee bit longer than I anticipated
Lemme at dem maps
