Bah

These kind of threads drops like flies now.

Overpain stop being so damn pessimistic. I'm writing a turn for my game now, and it's only been ONE DAY since Vosk did a turn for GAW.

Come on VOSK you told me 4 hours ago you were doing the turn what happened

It seems not many people like to play the waiting game

Galaxy at War, Turn III - 2258 AD Current galaxy map [t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61772068/Turn%20III.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 Galactic events: Expansion across the galaxy continues, with many civilizations setting up colonies and outposts on new planets they discover. As time goes by, civilizations begin to unknowingly move closer to each other. [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/lkWs0M.jpg[/img] [b]Imperial Veran Empire[/b] [I]Technology: Projectile Weapons, Fusion Engines, Basic FTL drives Hull Classes: Fighters, Corvettes, Frigates [/I] -Veran fleet command develops a new hull class for space-faring ships. The Frigate class, which is larger and more heavily armed and armored than a corvette. It sacrifices speed and maneuverability for the increased armaments and crew capacity. -The asteroid belt around the dwarf star is re-named to the Shaara Belt, and construction begins on a mining outpost on the belt. By the time of a few months, drones specifically meant for mining are exploiting the Sharra Belt for resources. Mostly Platinum, Tin and Copper are discovered. -The 1st Veran fleet is sent to explore another nearby star system. Scouts report a system with 2 solid planets. One is too far out to be in the habitability zone, but the 2nd planet appears to be covered in a thick fog. Scanners reveal water on the planet's surface. -A 2nd Veran fleet is brought out of the Spinca Drive Yards, and is sent to explore a nebula near the Sharra Belt system. The Nebula is extremely thick and would be great at concealing anything large, but it heavily affects ships electronics once they enter the nebula. -More orbital cannons are constructed. The Veran homeworld is now heavily fortified against any outside attack. -The Imperial Veran Army and Navy begins a massive recruitment campaign, encouraging Verans and Androids to join on. Many do, as they are looking to get away from troubles at home and fill their sense of adventure. -A new caste of Android is introduced, the --[url=http://i.cubeupload.com/IN5Tpw.jpg]Type 82 'Oppressor' MKIV[/url]. Upgrades are offered to Android units that have been a Type 79 or 41 for at least 5 cycles in active military deployment. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/vandura_flag.png[/img] [B]Vandura[/B] [I]Technology: Projectile Weapons, Fusion Engines, Basic ADC-FTL Drives Hull Classes: Fighters, Corvettes [/I] -Hygarth Scientists develop a basic FTL drive, based off the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive]Alcubierre Drive concept[/url]. It is still relatively unstable, but preforms better then the Veran FTL drives. The distance for these FTL jumps are still very short, but there has been far fewer casualties with the drive's experiments than predicted. -The first Vanduran fleet is renamed "Battle group Arryn" and takes on the role of principle defender of the Vanduran empire. The formations of these ships traveling through the system can be seen at night if one looks up. -A 2nd fleet is finished at the Tambor Starship works, and is immediately sent off to explore for new colonies. -The Vanduran Military sets up long-range telescopes in orbit around Tambor in hope to discover new habitable planets, and other civilizations. The telescopes pick up a system that look promising for colonization, but have yet to find another civilization. Long-rage Comm arrays are also launched into orbit. They make fleet-fleet and fleet-planet communication much easier. These arrays also have the ability to pick up long-range transmissions. -The 2nd fleet enters the new star system. It consists of 2 gas giants, but one planet is solid. It has oceans of lava, but continents of solid rock. -A deep space probe is launched in the direction of the Hyperkin, unlike an ordinary probe it is almost as big as a colony frigate. It is so large because it is fitted with a FTL Alcubierre Drive. The probe also contains a deep space communications array to relay communications chatter back to Tambor. -The Vanduran people celebrate the the 400th anniversary of the joining of the people. It is a night of fun, parties, and unprotected sex. A good night indeed.

Hull Classes: Fighters, Corvettes [/I] -The Hyperkin Military comes up with the HECS. Or the Hazardous Environmental Combat Suit. This suit allows Hyperkin solders to fight in much more extreme environments such as extreme cold, sandstorms, high heat and oxygen-less environment(Until their air tank runs out.) -Defense systems are set up around Hypernia to defend against any foreign invasion or unknown objects. They mainly consist of orbital cannons and rocket pods. -The system that the Hyperkin had discovered with the frozen moon is re-named to Dexjura. -A recon team equipped with HECS are sent down to the moon to scout it out for colonization. The planet appears to be stuck in a perpetual blizzard with the average temperature coming down to -87F. They set up a forward outpost inside a large cavern located on the side of a mountain. All the scouts report an eerie feeling when they look out into the endless blizzard, but it cannot be explained. No matter how the scouts feel about the planet, a colonization team is brought in and the outpost is soon converted to a large military colony, filing the large cavern. -The 2nd Hyperkin fleet is sent to a nearby star system. It is void of any planets, but the area would be perfect for a space station. - Taxes are increased slightly on Hypernia to pay for the increased military activity. -Hadar are now allowed to take secondary roles in the Hyperkin Military to earn their freedom such as, cooks, gunners, mechanics and other service jobs. Many of the Hyperkin say the Hadar are far better cooks and make much more appetizing food then what they would usually eat. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/G6Ifc.png[/IMG] [B]Great Race of Yith[/B] [I]Technology: Projectile Weapons, Fusion Engines, Ground-Based magnetic accelerator cannons, Reactive shields for cities Hull Classes: Fighters, Corvettes [/I] -Following their trend to spend an excessive amount of money, the Yith build giant retractable metal shields over their major cities. These reinforced metallic shields will be able to protect these cities from medium sized assaults until help arrives -3 MAC cannons are built on the moon of Koylat, greatly increasing the defense capabilities of the Yith homeworld. -The system that the Yith recently discovered is named the Kagan system. An orbital colony is quickly set up and androids are put to work harvesting gases from the gas giants in this system. The gases mostly consist of helium and methane. The moons of these planets are mostly made up of Iron and Tin. -The 1st Fleet is put on the edge of the Kagan System. -A new fleet is produced from the Drive Yards on Koylat. -The giant bunker system continues, with multiple cities now connected by this system, it is now starting to resemble a giant termite nest with some parts of this bunker going kilometers down. If Koylat was invaded the native populace could theoretically survive in this system for years. [img]http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/6951/groxempireflagbyfennoma.png[/img] [B]The Grox Empire[/B] [I]Technology: Projectile Weapons, Fusion Engines, Low-Grade Lasers Hull Classes: Fighters, Corvettes, Frigates[/I] -The Groxian Military also develops frigates. They sacrifice speed and maneuverability for increased armor and weaponry. -The 1st Groxian fleet continues to move in the direction of Vandura, they soon run into trouble however. Without stopping to colinize the first system they came across their supply lines are stretched extremely thin. Without fuel, food, and ammunition the 1st fleet has no other choice but to stop in mid-flight and hold until the supply lines are mended or a colony is set up in the nearby system. -The 2nd fleet is completed on Grox Major, and requests to move to the nearby system to set up a colony. [I](Just a FYI, You need to make your turns more in depth, or else your fleet will get stuck in the middle of space, <3 Vosk)[/I] [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/tiYECE.png[/img] [b]The United Sol Confederacy[/b] [I]Technology: Projectile Weapons, Fusion Engines, Low-Grade Lasers, Low-Power Shielding Hull Classes: Fighters, Corvettes [/I] -Scientist on New Sol develop a low-grade shielding system. It is capable of stopping a few blasts from lasers and any form of energy weapon, but projectiles will pass through this barrier. -The recently discovered system is named Isis. -The Confederacy continues to build their fleet, with a 2nd fleet being sent to overlook the sun project on Isis. A lone fighter is sent to examine the large object near the sun. When the fighter get close enough to examine the object, he reports a large object that appears to be made completely of metal and has been crushed and melted by the sun. Before he has to pull away, he can make out that it appeared to be an engine of some sort, from a very, very large ship. Taking from the size of this engine, the ship would have been planet sized. -The 1st fleet continues to search for a new system to colonize. They come along a very large nebula illuminated by a large star that is in the center of the nebula. This nebula is large enough to conceal a space station or a large vehicle. -The Asteroid belt in the Sol system begins to be stripped of all minerals by heavy machinery. -Helium and Hydrogen from the atmosphere of Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus, and Saturn are pulled and collected and put on newly constructed refineries that are set up on Mars and Luna to turn these gases into Deuterium-2, Tritium-3, and Helium-4. These gases are then used to increase the efficecy of Fusion reactors. The Confederacy now has the fastest fighters in the galaxy.

Well, my extreme-extra-super-mega-backup-plan-of-doom-if-all-hope-is-lost will begin preparation next turn, in case those Grox try anything. Methinks I need more defenses. Yes.

Oh god Vosk are you going to pull a Lost Planet on me?

PM me if it's peace or your fleets going to be in pieces.

All this drama makes me glad I chose this trinary system on the fringes of the galaxy

And thank you for the gift wizard, I always wanted a huge ass probe with an FTL drive attachment Once our civilizations meet, you can some Hadar slaves. Or a mushroom cookie, your choice

[QUOTE=Ven Kaeo;34687245]All this drama makes me glad I chose this trinary system on the fringes of the galaxy[/QUOTE] But there are Less habitable planets way out there! [QUOTE=Sunny Dei;34687259]And thank you for the gift wizard, I always wanted a huge ass probe with an FTL drive attachment Once our civilizations meet, you can some Hadar slaves. Or a mushroom cookie, your choice[/QUOTE] I pick number 3. This so called 'your choice' will make a fine addition to my collection. I love that by the time a sublight engine powered grox fleet get's to me it's going to be so out-dated that it would just get trashfucked by a colony fleet :D

I still encourage new people to join. All the info you need is on the 1st page. Please Join!

[QUOTE=wizard`;34687527]But there are Less habitable planets way out there! [/QUOTE] The less habitable it is, the better I feel about mining the fuck out of it until there's nothing left. [editline]13th February 2012[/editline] Just FYI my race amounts to space locust. If the planet is uninhabitable they mine the fuck out of it and use the resources to build more space stations and space ships. I'll be the first to have an Ishimura. Guarantee it.

Sounds like a Galactic arms race will be brewing... except no-one will know about it

And since I build frigates now: [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/dan_rubin/2882611628/in/set-72157607448725780]Thunder class Torpedo Frigate[/url]

We got a new player for GaW.

Who is it? Also peace man, i only want to trade yet, and become friends with strongest races so we could crush weaker ones. But at least for now all are similar powerful.

The Great Lux came into the galaxy in a flash of blinding light and it will probably end in a similarly quick fashion as I will likely be crushed under the boot of everybody else playing this game.

[QUOTE=overpain;34693914]And we are going to be space friends! For some time anyways...[/QUOTE] So you can capture Space Poland. By the way Van Kaeo, are you going to do anything to that foggy planet you found?

Uhhhhhhh..... No. Maybe. I don't know. I keep forgetting. [editline]14th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=overpain;34693914]And we are going to be space friends! For some time anyways...[/QUOTE] You're thinking of Space Stalin. Space Lenin would never condone space fascism
