Sounds good, I guess.

So...what's the deal with the turn now?

[b]GALAXY AT WAR, TURN 7: YEAR 2062[/B] [t] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38678023/GaWturn7png.png [/t] Imperial Veran Empire [Red] - Van Keao Vandura [Facepunch Blue] - wizard' The Hyperkin [Light Green] - Sunny Dei Great Race of Yith [Purple] - Seed Eater Grox Empire [Navy Blue/Grey] - overpain Sol Confederacy [Orange] - UrbanMachismo Valentian Commonwealth of Kingdoms [Yellow] - DanRatherman The Great Lux [Green-Yellow] - Konakona940 The Terran Republic [Light Brown/Tan] - StarToad Mjythra [Light Blue] - WubWubWompWomp [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/lkWs0M.jpg[/img] [b] Imperial Veran Empire [/b] Ven Kaeo [i]Technology: Projectile Weapons, Particle Weapons, Fission Pulse Engines, Basic FTL drives, advanced Shielding Hull Classes: Fighters, Corvettes, Frigates, Destroyers [/i] -The Verans build their first Destroyer-class vessels. Destroyers are good sized ships built for firepower. -The Brantis system is claimed. It is a binary system between a blue supergiant and average cool star. It hosts two rocky planets. -The Athena system is claimed, hosting two rocky planets. -Shanxi is claimed, hosting 2 gas giants and 2 planets, one of which is a lush jungle world. -Jalken is claimed. It is a Red-Blue Binary system, housing 2 desert worlds and an iron planet. -Poltik is claimed. It houses no bodies. -Kalur is claimed. It also houses no bodies. -Mining increases on the Solusta Hazus homeworld, and the moon Canopus. -Increased colonial infrastructure is built up Otura Hazus. Hydrogen and helium extraction is ramped up on Rotuna Hazenus. Mining increases on Bruan Pepori. -Full-scale mining begins on Archenar, Pluras, Jaysus, Jiang, Jios, Disaro's Moons, Paladine's moons, Belldan's moons, Gileryd's moons, Sirius Tau, and Eadrax. -The shipyard construction is moved from Omnicron Alpha to Sirius Tau. -The siphoning platform in Doorsimoor is completed. The automated facitilty extracts literal tons of gases and fires off storage canisters to storage facilities in major systems. -Population and caste constraints are removed for Vera’ki and new birthing stations are created. This will lead to a jump in population.

These are more powerful, more direct version of the existing particle weapons. -A shipyard begins construction in Oslo. -Siphoning begins on Tyr, Meili, Kvasi, and Freyr. -Thor, Odin, Baldr, Eir, and Rindr begin mining operations, specializing in non-fissile materials. Fissile mining begins on Loki and the moons of Meili. -A siphoning platform, not unlike that built by the Verans, is created in the Siberian Winds. Without the interruptions in construction the Verans had, it is completed shortly. The station collects and converts hydrogen and helium into Dueterium-2, Helium-3 and Tritium-4. -Colonization begins on Mars, Bragi, Loki, Freyr, and Kvasi.

When infused with antimatter, generated using the Elerium, Antimatter-Catalyzed Fusion Engines are created. These engines allow for higher speeds at less fuel costs. -The Terrans receive a gift from the Vandurans- the ADC-FTL drive technology. This improves their jump drives. -The Docking Station is opened for business, officially. Massive markets open in the station, and a 5.5% tax is applied to all trades as market space is bought up by all three races. The profit is split between the three races- 1.5% to Terrans, and 2% each to the Vandurans and Hyperkin. This brings in notable amounts of income to the three races. -Terran scout ships are sent in a triangular pattern based on the shape of the Helios system (Which is a triangle.) They discover a star system below Helios consisting of 2 gas giants and a planet which appears to be covered in thick clouds that blanket the whole surface. -More ExoNet servers are set up, speeding up the transfer of data for both the Military and Civilian sectors. -Interbreeded Terrans and Hygarth mature rapidly, proving themselves to have the same skills as a Terran with the incredible intelligence and will for discovery of a Hygarth. Terrans are relived that the Hybrids aren't bad. Only SLIGHT alarm at the fast maturation, but nothing much that can cause an uproar. -XCom craft are sent to the Station to oversee construction of it and assist with it. -Scientists at X-Com begin to research Hygarth/Terran Hybrids for potential boons, encouraging any Young Adult Hygarrn (The official name for said Hybrids) to come in and assist the scientists with their research. -As funding for X-Com is cut, along with many of the vital programs, Terrans respond with protests and in some cases, riots. Most of these civil disturbances are easily put down by law enforcement. However a few riots continue, with widespread looting and damage to the surrounding areas. These riots are violently put down, which only angers the public further. -XCom launches an investigation into the Nationalist party, some files are discovered that appear to be forged about President Owen. These files are quickly released to the public. Soon as this happens, the party arrests any who were involved in this investigation. Many people demand the current administration resigns, while others believe that this is all just a scam to bring down the Nationalists. More riots follow, with both sides of the debate fighting each other in the streets. Law Enforcement attempts to break these fights up, but they quickly develop into something they can't handle. Military units are sent into the cities to quell these riots, but many of these soldiers question what side they are fighting for. In some cases, soldiers begin to desert and join the protesters. (This could quickly develop into a civil war unless handled properly.) -As rumor about the forged documents spreads through the ranks of the Military, many begin taking sides. It doesn't escalate to the level that is going on back at Helios, but the mood of the men in the military is without a doubt, tense.

It is super resistant to beam weapons, but heavy as fuck, costing more fuel and reducing ship speeds. Because of its resistance to beam weapons, it can not be mined via laser, and instead uses the force of the slave workers. -The Grox find and invade a system with medieval-technology-leveled inhabitants on one planet. They enslave the inhabitants, 12 foot, tall-legged, short-bodied humanoids. They have weak body strength. -Defensive orbital cannons are completed in all existing systems. -Experimentation on Grox citizens occurs. Terrible things happen. -Trade routes are expanded and space weed it legalized. -Ships head out towards Yith. -The First Fleet move closer to the core, at slow speeds. A sudden gamma-ray burst emanating from the core wipes out half the fleet. With the fleet in chaos, they retreat as fast as possible to Que"as"ada, where they find the planet wiped of all Grox and slave life in the burst, and much technology ruined.

(no new tech developments. Tip: Elerium is a great medium for teleportation). -Attempts at cruisers fails (Tip: This needs to be part of your tech.) -A new shipyard begins construction on Kambor. (Tip: This isn’t a one-turn thing.) -The ADC-FTL drive technology is given to the Terrans. -A formal tech-sharing agreement is created between Hyperkin and Vanduran. All technology developed between the two is to be shared immediately. -The Docking Station is opened for business, officially. Massive markets open in the station, and a 5.5% tax is applied to all trades as market space is bought up by all three races. The profit is split between the three races- 1.5% to Terrans, and 2% each to the Vandurans and Hyperkin. This brings in notable amounts of income to the three races. -Gladiatorial games are held on the space station where men are set to fight each other with any handhold weapon they choose. The prizes are immense and many people join and are killed. A Hyperkin Gladiator known as Jin Kin is generally considered the best after he won the first ever Galactic Gladiator Championship. -The market is flooded with minerals from private extractors. The demand for these minerals remains high. The economic gains lead to two new classes of ship being created- the Market Ship, used as a small-scale inter-planetary market, and the Cargo Ship, used to transport and store large amounts of goods. -The ADC-FTL probe launched towards the core goes missing in what is a presumed gamma-ray burst near the core. -The Vanduran ships and FTL Array land in Hypernia. This is celebrated massively.

The first half is used as a blockade of the infected system. The second half moves towards a system marked on their Map of Gal, avoiding plotted locations of other infected systems. -A search party from the third fleet finds no evidence of ancient life on the system’s water planet. However, they do find it to be home to a vast ecological system. -Jhosa-Rim begins full-out mining. -Vandurans are allowed citizenship rights, entrance into the military, and to work in Hyperkin space. -The Vanduran ships and FTL Array land in Hypernia. This is celebrated massively. -The Docking Station is opened for business, officially. Massive markets open in the station, and a 5.5% tax is applied to all trades as market space is bought up by all three races. The profit is split between the three races- 1.5% to Terrans, and 2% each to the Vandurans and Hyperkin. This brings in notable amounts of income to the three races. -A formal tech-sharing agreement is created between Hyperkin and Vanduran. All technology developed between the two is to be shared immediately. -The head shaman of Hypernia sets out to Vanduran space to spread faith in the Sky-lords, as a show of good faith. -The Warchief hosts a massive gladiator tournament, not unlike those on the Space Dock. All melee weapons can and are used. Promises of wealth and one of the Warchief’s personal weapons are the prize. Vanduran Hygarths join in the tournament and prove themselves strong competitors. -A shipyard near Quel Station begins construction. -VDF Pluit Mortem is sent to the Space Dock, where it tests its firing systems jointly with the Vandurans.

The materials are shipped via space elevator to orbit and then constructed, allowing for decreased fuel and economic costs. -The colony at Avongard is fortified and expanded. This causes more conflicts with the Ape Race, who attack and overrun part of the newly expanded colony. The damage is notable, and leads to the death of 187 Ape Race and 28 colonists. 4 colonists are taken by the Ape Race and lost to the forests. Attacks continue as deforesting increases at a greater rate. -The Avongard colony is prepped for trade, however, and the necessary requirements for major trade is created. -A first-contact ship is launched towards the Veran satellite. The two meet in space. The Valentians confiscate the probe for further study. -A landing is attempted on the moons of the gas giant Marae, host to the Thorium. All on the expedition die from severe radiation before getting within 50 miles of either moon’s orbit.

I like that map. But I think the yellow should expand into Grox's homeworld :v:

Oh boy, a civil disruption I have a chance to respond to. Lovely. Ah well, I think i've figured out a way to handle it.

[QUOTE=Ven Kaeo;35026694]I like that map.

[quote]-Experimentation on Grox citizens occurs. Terrible things happen. -Trade routes are expanded and space weed it legalized.[/quote]Terrible things happen. Like Space justin bieber. Also smoke space weed everyday.

Wouldn't all the heat just burn all the space weed on the ship? Also will there be any other planet catalogs released soon?

The heat would vaporize the space weed and the ship would be a giant hotbox. New from Grox Industries: Hot-Box Cruiseliners! Relax and enjoy an all you can eat one hundred foot long buffet on our one of a kind Hot-Box Cruiseship! Once the vessel reaches the Galactic Core's 'danger' zone, shielding on the cargo bay is lifted and the five thousand tons of Spess Wed we have is instantly vaporized and pumped through the ship for your ultimate Space High.

Planet catalogs are delayed because school project.

[QUOTE='[Seed Eater];35037716']Planet catalogs are delayed because school project.[/QUOTE] Does this effect turns as well? (just curious)

No.

Is it too late to join? You guys already have a notable technological advantage, I'd be screwed if i join in now.

[QUOTE=eternalflamez;35049824]Is it too late to join? You guys already have a notable technological advantage, I'd be screwed if i join in now.[/QUOTE] Not really. As there are no wars now and everyone just herping derpin around and exploring space.

Alright then, I'll try. Expect my race info in 2 hours, cuz im at school... When's the next turn?

That's the million dollar question right there

[QUOTE=Sunny Dei;35051102]That's the million dollar question right there[/QUOTE] 8 th. Ching kaching give me all your moneys please.

Lol, loading that map in order to save it, to pinpoint my homeplanet takes AGES! So High res... And I must come up with an Emblem too. [editline]8th March 2012[/editline] Ok, done. Info will be posted in the next turn, prepare your anus!

8th? 8th of March, April, May, June? Also I put that money in a safety deposit box in the core so good luck!

[QUOTE=Sunny Dei;35052292]8th? 8th of March, April, May, June? Also I put that money in a safety deposit box in the core so good luck![/QUOTE] Good luck reclaiming it, since only grox even has a CHANCE reclaiming it :v: Also 8th turn

Nah, we'll invent Teleporters and teleport it out. Quantum Physics mumbo-jumbo. Though that would be a bit hard to do given all of the anomolies and junk.

[QUOTE=StarToad;35052362]Nah, we'll invent Teleporters and teleport it out. Quantum Physics mumbo-jumbo. Though that would be a bit hard to do given all of the anomolies and junk.[/QUOTE]I might get teleporters next turn :v: Also you forget the radiation/ heat that only our race can survive.

He asked when the next turn is, not what the next turn is. And I'm sure the many wasted fleets will be worth it

[QUOTE=Sunny Dei;35052390]He asked when the next turn is, not what the next turn is. And I'm sure the many wasted fleets will be worth it[/QUOTE] Since i was given better understanding of the core, i will not go there anymore... Yet.

Better understanding of the core? That doesn't seem like it'd be a good thing. Did you discover a terrible secret that has the potential to blow up the universe? (With or without Grox use?)

[QUOTE=StarToad;35052538]Better understanding of the core? That doesn't seem like it'd be a good thing. Did you discover a terrible secret that has the potential to blow up the universe? (With or without Grox use?)[/QUOTE] Cannot tell you. Also it's not nessecarily bad thing for me. But i better not touch it now. But i don't know surely myself. Just that i shouldn't go there yet. None of you should.

[QUOTE=overpain;35052371]I might get teleporters next turn :v: Also you forget the radiation/ heat that only our race can survive.[/QUOTE] No you won't. I'm already at level 2 quantum teleportation and I can't even get a person from orbit to the ground without killing a few first. I can teleport 30kg from my home planet Tambor to the joint space station tho (10,000 light years) :v: But srsly teleportation is like THE hardest tech as far as I can tell. [editline]an edit yo[/editline] [QUOTE=overpain;35052411]Since i was given better understanding of the core, i will not go there anymore... Yet.[/QUOTE] We're going to beat you there by such a huge margin being that we have 3 people powering techs to let us get there ASAP and claim the riches. My money is on it being a Star Forge like the one in KOTOR.

My bet is that it's a fucking supermassive black hole like there really is there and you're all wasting your time [editline]8th March 2012[/editline] "Oh look the centre of the galaxy. It's hot, radioactive, fucks up our sensors, kills our people, and destroys our planets. But fuck it lets explore the shit out of it anyway. I bet there's a [I]special forge[/I]
