Hegemony-V2 begins page 302

[Wisp]

I've now got 1200 kg of the strange material I believe.

 

Would anyone be willing to exchange research on matter compilers?

Wait, didn't you have 800kg earlier? I thought you only controlled 1 planet w/ the material.

[Retech]

Research is ongoing on coilguns. A basic version for use on ships should be completed in 20 days, while more advanced versions will appear every 10 days after that.

[archimage_a]

At this rate Retech's planet will be taken over. Do we have any procedures?

[Retech]

Procedures?

 

If you mean battle plans, then....

 

 

I am evacuating everyone except 20 million people to transports, which will fly around in warp waiting for further instructions.

Erikio is the seat of the Lichtes government and homeworld to most of its people. Skyscrapers exist that are taller than almost any structure on Earth, mainly because the buoyancy that the water provides. It is covered by 99% water, with the land harnessed to grow luxury food crops, meat, and defensive installations.

New Erikio has quickly been upgraded into a full scale military base. Massive underground tunnels snake through the continental shelf and deeper into the sea crust. The majority of Lichtes citizens live here, sheltered from infectious viruses and invading aliens by the limitless fortifications and defences.

I mean for a home planet loss. One assumes that most of your resources, research and such are tied up there.

[The Dark Lord]

@Archi:

 

The Urk-Orz haven't started toward a system that hasn't appeared to be hostile, right?

[archimage_a]

On Sephar, Alpha Centuri, Sinabo and Reccea Demicus.

So nearest, Doom, Grim and Retech.

[Retech]

Archi, I would tell you but unfortunately that would mean that I've told the Urk-Orz as well. :)

[archimage_a]

I am already playing me and a player so I am very good at separating what I know and what I know.

[Retech]

Alright, I trust you.

 

I evacuted most of my people to New Erikio when Rocco was threatening to destroy my planet with a virus. I moved about 200 million people to New Erikio. The main problem was that my population kept expanding at over 40 million a day, so I had to put all my efforts into transports. New Erikio happens to be my technological hub now, with massive underground tunnels capable of holding a billion atm. More than half the population (200 million) is focusing on digging the tunnels.

 

The reason I don't have more engineers than everyone else is because only females can be engineers (males are stupid by anatomy), and females are produced at the rate of 1 for every 16 males. Most of the time, the actual ratio is 1:4 as males are slaughtered in war, but in times of peace, it doesn't work out.

[RpgGamer]

Tree bomb "research" is complete. If an explanation is asked, I'll give details. Otherwise, whatever. Using this technology, I am going to develope some anti-bombardmant missles.

 

I'm also working with Sere on a few projects that will not be disclosed at this time.

 

If i don't piss off the Urk-Orz, they'll leave me alone, right?

[archimage_a]

Possibly, no guarantees.

[Retech]

I am also researching scram cannons. They can shoot a projectile far farther than conventional weaponary. Since this is relatively advanced technology, it will take until January 1st until it is finished.

[Wisp]

It seems to be that way for now. I would recommend taking precautions though.

[The Dark Lord]

How big was the fleet in the Hitchhiker's movie, anyway? O_O

[archimage_a]

The quote was about space:

Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long walk down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space

Replace Chemists with that battle above Earth during the last war.

Well, that wasn't that big of a war. What was it, a few super heavys, a buncha heavys, and then a bunch of battleships?

[archimage_a]

Yeah pretty much.

But if the walk down to the chemists is the short side and space is the long side....

[Wisp]

3 Ultra Heavy Battleships

5 Super Battleships

75 Heavy Battleships

78 Battleships

3,750 Fighters

 

That was the total number of ships over earth, for reference.

But still.

Archi exactly how intelligent are the alien invaders? (if I can set there intelligence it will be rather low with the occasional genius )

Based on what I've heard them say I get the feeling it's a hivemind type thing.

[archimage_a]

Intelligence is slightly difficult to gauge. Since it is you asking....(By the way this could all be codswallop)

Your Pschoanalysy looks worried as you ask her view on the Urk-Orz(Assume random e or ')s. "Well, basically...They seem to know what they want and go for it. Their technology seems to be far in advance of ours, but whether they stole it or developed it we don't know. Since we have only talk to one of them we don't know much about them, but we assume that they have some kind of hierachical structure since we have only talked to one person."

 

Any futher questions?

[paul191600]

I am still confused on how big their fleet is.

 

[hide=combine fleet]

Also, I haven't updated my ship numbers for quite some time.

20,000 terran fighters

200 trinity cruisers (battleships)

100 leviathan-class cruisers (heavy battleships)

5 behemoth-class cruisers (ultra heavy)

[hide=yearly ship production]

(changed)

1/4: Two factories on Ohan worth 2,000 pts total

[/hide]

[Wisp]

Ok, here's a sketch of the new ship.

Here's how the recoil system is going to work. Before firing it's projectile (using special rounds designed for this ship) an onboard computer calculates how much force is going to be exerted recoil wise on the ship, then uses thrusters to counteract that, as well as having the main cannon be able to move back to deal with recoil. [hide]

[/hide]

 

What it fires varies, but they are all covered with highly polished tungsten, which can deflect lasers to a point, atleast until they fully melt through the outer covering.

The shells themselves an have various loadouts, pure matter (just solid metal), nuclear, antimatter, or others.

 

Other than the main cannon the ship is equipped with a hangar for 500 fighters, to defend itself against any fast ships that sneak by the main fleet (This ship acts as artillery, it fires from long distances compared to the other parts of the fleet). It also has powerful plasma shielding, except when it fires, all the energy from the shields go to the main gun/recoil thrusters.

Furthermore, all ships built from this point on will also have internal turrets, since judging by the report of how grim was attacked his ship was boarded, and I want to defend against that.

 

1 Mega Transport will be completed in about 15 minutes. It is fully self sustaining, and is designed to hold millions upon millions of people, a city in space.

The particle colliders on my superstructure research station have been finally improved, increasing production by 50%.
