Hegemony-V2 begins page 302

[Furah]

 

the reverse engineering of the engine of dooms ship is going well (9 more years)

 

Is she letting you do that? Else you're asking to get butthurt. :twisted:

 

 

 

That's impossible for her to do that.

 

To do what?

And no, I don't have Earth->Space missiles, but neither does anyone else. At least I've never seen mention of anyone actually researching it.

 

Though I think Europa has the best defenses in the game (both land and space based).

 

And Australia has joined the Eurasian Alliance.

Havn't posted in a few days. Just a few updates:

 

 

 

Burma/Cambodia are 100% developed. Roads, cities, schools, police stations, fire houses. You name it, it's in every town. Unless it's a nuculear bomb. Then It's in every other town.

 

 

 

Serephrus, I'm going to say yes to your PM. Burma is now in the NWO.

 

 

 

And seeing as I'm only going to be posting every other day or so, I can't be bothered into designing technoligies. If someone wants to PM me some designs with a price in mind (anything useful) I'll appreciate it.

As part of the NWO, we will share technology with you. All you have to do is produce it.

I'm researching them

 

EDIT: @Dusty I bought the ship from her for 300 billion$ she never said anything about me not reverse engineering the engine then improving it so I can hop solar systems.

 

Also If its not to much trouble could this be my flag?

Why do you always have to be so immature. I meant as in she could just bomb his country and obliterate it for attempting to reverse engineer it. Then again it will be giant sized, won't be too hard to find where it is. Else, hurray for carpet bombing!

As I have said before I bought the ship and can now do with it what I want.

Patents would stop you doing anything you wanted, plus don't you think Doom would stop it? I mean it's bad for business allowing others to sell what you want to sell, or no longer rely on you to get it.

I'm not selling it and I am adding several things to it. If doom has an objection she can state it now.

[RpgGamer]

i have a few things to say.

 

 

 

1) I'm considering selling my land on Mars for a large sum. Considering.

 

 

 

2) I say yes to the Sweden trade. It really soesn't effect me in anyway, anyway.

 

 

 

3) I have a question mostly directed at Doom (because she's been calculating population growth and such). The world is becoming redicuoulsy over populated. And yet your big empire succeeds in feeding them all, and employing them all. (this goes for every country, not to single you out). How is every country holding these ridculous amounts of numbers? I've solved it by harvesting the dead for minerals, and killing everyone off at a certain age. I have a fixed population more or less. But countries like India and China... :ohnoes:. I can't imagine what the over population has done to those countries.

 

 

 

Everyone's been so focused on war and armies, no one has done infrastructural renovations in half a century. It's preposterous!

I think the infrastructure is implied in upkeep also I feed my empire using hydroponics tech that I have been developing for close to 30 years now.

My country has less people in it now than when we started :D . Larger population overall with Mars and my stations though.

I have:

 

A spray that is put on crops to increase yield by 300% - hunger not a problem

 

A drug that allows colonization of extremely cold areas - Antarctica/Canadian Arctic

 

And developed a plant that can grow in tundra envrionments that provides 90% of the daily nutrients to human beings

 

 

 

I don't think anyone else has done anything else though.

 

 

 

Oh, and the drug that allows for toxic environment survival is done, been distributed to HAZMAT/civlian groups that deal with lethal toxins.

Not at all. Just because politics aren't as fun as Huge [wagon] Walkers (lol Malaysia) doesn't mean we don't have to update them and summerize what's going down. After all, we're being realistic ;). Nothing is implied, in fact nothing is even official until it's posted publically. We can't just assume that our goverments would just bend to our will (unless your a dictatorship of some sort). We've been really taking advantage of our absolute power, and haven't really said much about what the Hegemony was really about - making civilization. We're supposed to survive - not kill each other off and throw each other off the thread.

[Wisp]

Grim, I don't really see why hydroponics would be at all necessary. Growing an excess of food is easy, getting the food to people is the harder part.

 

 

 

I've been investing a good chunk of my budget into new areas for living, as I've mentioned alot, for a more sustainable setup. I don't know about china and india though. Once all the facilities are completed (I need about 2500 to account for all my cities), almost my people could live in near complete safety. Another 5,000 facilities would be necessary though, over time as we grow and for those who don't live in or near cities.

 

 

 

I don't see why he would bother reverse engineering the ships anyway, they're incapable of interstellar travel with their engine, and the hulls can't even hold at speeds that great. Here's a quote with my descriptions when I first started selling them.

 

 

 

No ships capable of interstellar travel are being sold or built, due to the huge costs and build times. These ships are specifically designed for colonizing asteroids, or mars.

I just want the engine from the ships then I will spend another 10 years designing/testing a ship that can hop suns.@RPG Then I would have over 800 billion dollars in disposable income instead of 160 (according to doom I am assuming that the money sink is infrastructure etc.)

[Wisp]

The moneysink is a combination of everything. Paying cops, paying military (which oddly isn't included into the disposable income, because to keep a million man army it's gonna cost you a few hundred grand a person for everything from training to actual pay, to health care and all that), repairing and building roads, tax refunds, paying government workers, welfare, education, providing bonuses to farmers, paying for prisons and prisoners, and so on.

[jasignhagj]

Kazakh is now working on a project to turn mountains into habitable buildings. we are also looking at modifying the human digestive system so it processes food more efficiently.

 

 

 

EDIT: damn, my country gets creepier by the second :)

 

 

 

EDIT2: The smiley emoticon is actually pretty creepy too...

[The Dark Lord]

Rpg, the rest of my budget not included in military expenses goes toward keeping the infrastructure intact and running other government systems. It would be awesome if I knew how to run the other stuff, but for now, most of us are just getting used to running the military budget. Maybe later, once we gain the hang of it all, we can start working on the other programmes.

[stonewall337]

I have now sent 5k scientists to haven to research a new method to mine for diamonds using radar and precision lasers to eliminate the need to move so much dirt per carat mined. This increased income with less labor will increase the GDP of SA by about ~.35%

[Wisp]

400 more habitats have been completed, and production in the USA, Quebec and Mexico is complete. We are now focusing on central and South America. We'll start with central america, and move down. Most cities that have unoccupied Habitats near them are being demolished for salvage materials. We aren't, of course, demolishing important coastal trade cities, production cities, capital cities, or other cities with a lot of history, or are important for some strategic reason. We've slashed our military budget a great deal, now that all civilians have completed basic and intermediate training, and we have armories in all cities. All of our excess budget is going towards these habitats, and producing the last of our Desta class of battleships. The only army part we're keeping on the budget is a million of our best soldiers, who will be kept in cryogenic sleep at various locations, so they will be ready should war ever break out. They were selected based on their skill, and lack of families, so they won't be missed if they are in sleep for an indefinite period of time. They will all receive substantial amounts of money once they are eventually released from duty, but for now, the only costs we need to pay for them is the cost of keeping them in sleep.

 

We do still have border guards, and a few hundred thousand marines.

 

We've completed our new class of hypersonic planes. They will be detailed later, but they are not for bombing purposes, and they are significantly faster than our other type. They cost 3 billion each. We are planning on building 50 overall. We've also completed a new line of normal planes. They're basically just more advance versions of what we had before, with better weaponry, armor, targeting, and so on.

 

 

 

Our new line of destroyers and frigates have also just come out of R&D. The destroyers are smaller ships, armed mostly with railguns and cruise missiles, designed for a low stealth cross section and higher speeds than most ships.

 

Our frigates are a bit heavier, equipped for advanced anti air, and anti-submarine jobs. They have our advanced targeting systems, so we are more likely to be able to shoot down hypersonic planes (but still not very likely) and much more likely to hit normal planes.

 

Both ships are designed for much smaller crews than previous boats of their type, so our navy size will decrease as we produce more of those ships, and slowly replace our older ones.

 

EDIT: Both these were put into R&D about a week and a half ago, I think. I might find the post if it's necessary.

 

 

 

Summary: We're cutting back on military manpower, increasing efficiency of who we have, with more advanced technology.

 

This allows us to invest more in our habitats, and ship production.

 

 

 

Also, stone, there aren't any major diamond mines in Kenya. I researched where all my diamonds are coming from, and kenya isn't one of those places.

[stonewall337]

No offense to doom, but destroyers are anti-submarine. Also, I claimed south africa.
