Lol.

 

Btw, here's what I wrote for the TFed page:

[hide]The Terran Federation is the largest empire in current known space, but not necessarily the most powerful. Constant war with other empires and civil unrest within its own empire have limited the Federation from ever bringing its full production power to might, but none the less it is a formidable faction.

 

The Terran Federation has its roots back in Germany on Earth. Somewhere around 2020 a coup was staged in Germany, putting yet another dictator at the head of Germany. Tensions mounted in the world as Germany forcibly annexed the Czech Republic and Austria, as well as staging a minor war with Holland, the result of which was complete demilitarization of Holland's armies. During this time, there were several ongoing conflicts with the Russian Empire, which led to Germany mobilizing its armies again and marching through Poland to attack Russia.

 

However, Russia and Germany had both been talking in secret with one another, so the armies met without bloodshed, and instead turned on most of Europe. So began World War 3. A decade or so later, almost all of Europe was under either German or Russian control, aside from Britannia, Bulgaria, and most of Scandinavia (excluding Denmark). Luxembourg's government shifted to its African countries.

 

The next stage in the world was what could only be called another Age of Colonialism, with every country expanding its borders and gobbling up its neighbours, either through diplomatic or military conquest. Tensions rose over Germany's fast expansion yet again.

 

The stage was set for more conflicts though, and soon enough a fourth world war was sparked. Germany was ready, though, and had prepared a labyrinth of defenses stretching all across the empire, the result being that no one wanted to commit troops to attacking, as it would be a horrendously costly affair. The war was brought to a close with a shaky treaty signed by Germany which stated it would not conquer any more countries through military might. Diplomatic conquest continued, until Germany (now known as Germania) controlled almost all of Europe, North Africa, and several lands and islands off the coast.

 

Shortly after this conquest by diplomacy was complete, Findenland released a deadly virus in Germany, which prompted quick response from the German government. Realizing that the virus was not just a threat to Germania, other nations in the world sent their armies into Findenland to topple the regime that would create and utilize such a deadly virus.

 

During the time that all of this conflict was going on, the Brazilian Empire, isloated from the hotbed regions of Europe and Asia, had been working together with the Norweigan governement on an interstellar program with the intent of colonizing other worlds and ensuring the survival of the human race. This project culminated with the establishment of human colonies on Mars and in the Alpha Centauri system. Soon enough, all eyes were cast upon space as the next frontier for expansion, and the race was on.

 

Germania (now know as Europa, and now a authoritarian democracy) was not far behind the Brazilian's though, and a colonization team was sent many lightyears away to the Gisele system to colonize Gisele 581 D. The mission was succesful, and the star renamed Yggdrasil, after the Tree of Life in Nordic mythology, and Gisele 581 D to Midgard. Midgard would continue to flourish through the years, and project influence through that region of space.

 

Other systems were promptly discovered, and began another race of colonization, with planets and entire systems being gobbled up by the rising powers back on Sol. With a far-flung empire stretching across space, Europa was re-named to the Terran Federation, and began its rapid colonization of systems in the lower quadrant of space.

 

All was not well back on Earth, though. The two major alliances - The New World Order, and the Eurasian Alliance, were locked in a Cold War that had been going on for half a century, each one jockeying for position over the other, each one building more destructive tools and weapons to destroy the other.

 

The Cold War culminated not as history had, though. With increasing economical pressures, the Russian Empire could not keep up with the industrial powerhouses of Germany, Britannia, and the Holy Empire. The Russian Empire collapsed in on itself, prompting the New World Order to rush troops into its lands to lay claim. The Terran Federation had its eyes set on Russia, though, and moved its troops into the Russian lands. However, this act was too much for an empire already stretched thin. Akin to its Russian allies, the Terran Federation collapsed and its worlds were thrown into anarchy.

 

Hoping for the preservation of its lands and its people, TFed turned to the only other empire it could trust, since all its allies had deserted it; the Brazilian Empire. Brazil accepted its proposal, and sent aid and troops to assist the Federation in its time of need, taking temporary ownership of Federation lands. Greater Germania was reborn, though, the most loyal and die-hard region in the entire Federation, composing of the lands that were formerly Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, and Denmark.

 

World War 5 had begun. It would be a conflict that would rage on for nearly 8 years, and cost the lives of hundreds of millions. At the end of it, and largely due to Brazilian help, the Federation and her ally arose victorious. The New World Order collapsed, Germania had its old lands and name restored, and many of the former NWO's most prominent members made the decision to evacuate their lands on Earth, rather than live on a world that would be heavily influenced by a nation that had been its enemy for decades.

 

The past years have been peaceful, with each nation seemingly content with their position in the world, and the galaxy. A new threat linger though, a beast of immense power steamrolls to known space, and brings a new enemy. How will the next parts of this history be written? No one knows...

The 48 Fighter Class Caravels are worth how many points each in battle? Also, how much are the capital class caravels worth each in battle?

 

Hmmm...Well the Armada has a combined PP value of 1,992,000

The Capital Classes have 8,400(7,400 without Hyper Drive) The Fighter Class have 8,300(7,300 without Hyper Drive)

 

Spreadsheet here, can be run done quickly with your own stats, rather than messing about for half an hour like I did.

I should my own extremely biased history. It can be taught to all the students in the military academies as they prepare to be slaughtered in a pointless war! :thumbsup:

 

 

 

Also, I don't think shields are essential. Can I scrap them and reduce the point value? Also, if I can scrap warp drive engines and focus on just moving the ship around, would that lower cost?

Additionally male child baring has been made open source.

Shields, armour and engines have no bearing on the PP value because they are additional modifers. They do still contribute tonnage though.

You can scrap warp drive engines providing your ships are DOCKING capable, otherwise they are stuck within the solar system.

What?

Retech, without warp engines or shields your ships will die very quickly.

Additionally male child baring has been made open source.

 

Men can now have kids(provided the planet provides the faciliites)

Well my male population has always given birth.

 

Not necessarily Ross, I was thinking multi layer armor and it could have thrusters to move around the orbit of a planet.

Then you might as well use defensive structures.

A ship without a warp drive isn't too useful. And multi-layered armour is going to add more tonnage than shields would.

I guess shields would be more cost effective for me now, since I stole Archi's quark fusion. :)

The desert world in Kajea has been designated as a testing site for my joint-research project with Kamino.

Retech, unless he also gave you some basic strange matter research, I would REALLY recommend you do not activate the quark fusion generators. And if he did, I'll buy any strange matter you produce.

Nah, the computers were wiped clean.(Mainly so no one followed)

I didn't get any technology from him. However, I do have access to his generators. What's wrong with turning them on? I'm going to need them to defend myself against the aliens, so I request some basic (strange matter no-kill-me tech). I'll give you my strange matter for free (up to a limit of course). :thumbsup:

You'd need to give it all to me, since you basically have no use for it.

I can teach you to store it, but I'm not teaching you any methods of using it.

 

(This is assuming the computers needed to run the generators were still intact, and apparently they weren't)

Well I don't need to use it, I just want to use the generators. When I said "up to a point" was because after I make so much strange matter, I might as well figure out a way to use it for something.

Nah the generators have been set to exaust their supply. Since it is a mechanical process it is fairly simple. Obvouisly you could just add more and more to the supply but then that would probably have some bad effect...

I'm confused. Are your ships unusable now? If they are, I'd rather just convert the PP into production stations.

They are usuable for the next 10 years, and, if anyone has the technology, beyond.

Yay!

 

I'll use them to fight the aliens, then I'll convert them into production stations.

How much does each module cost?

I should have a few more years until I can produce my own Quark Fusion generators.

It shouldn't take too long. All you need to do is reverse engineer Archi's ships.

 

--------

 

How many ships are in each of Archi's fleets?

250 Billion I think.

Reverse engineering a Quark Fusion Generator is probably not a good idea...

In production points?

 

Also, are there special modifiers for them?

....All modules have different costs. Please use the wiki to find the costs.

Costs in Dollars are 1,000 Million times the PP.
