Does those certain things include what my SAC does? In that case it is quite unfair to us who already has means of matter creation but suddenly has to use a completely new and rare fuel.

If you'll read what I said on the original post with the idea, you'll have a choice. You can either keep it, and only produce small amounts of whatever, or you can pretend you never had it and get another research of around equal value (something that would take maybe 20 years to research),

[Seraphi]

You could get strange elements too, but you would have to research all of the precursors and such, and even after that, it would only generate 1 strange element every 14 years. Me and Archi have joined our research, so we can get 1 strange element every 7 years.

 

At the current rate, it would take us just under 2 years in real life to get the entire periodic table (714 days), so I don't think its really unbalanced, and we have no idea if we'll get something useful like aluminium either, since its done with an RNG.

[The Dark Lord]

How many production points would an Embassy Ship cost, and what would their stats be (point-wise) if they weapons and only heavy armour (kind of like the Caravels)?

[VEGHATERMEATLOVER]

Ross and Archi, I smell overpowered physics bending with these strange elements.

[Wisp]

What do you use them for?

 

Ok, I haven't done the systems they're in yet, but here are the 6 planets that will have the new material on them.

 

1:

Planet Neva: http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/8338/neva.png

Discovered in early 2111 by a unmanned drone Neva was found to be a possible target for colonization, due to it's Earthlike atmosphere and size. However, after the initial scan a strange signal was picked up. Further investigation found that there was a previously undiscovered material hidden just under the planet's surface, in one specific area. A team was sent to investigate, but were then called off once the war broke out, and no other teams have been sent.

 

2:

Planet Set: http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/6922/setf.png

In 2120 a cargo ship passed this planet, and detected an unusual signal. They later reported it to the central government, and the signal was found to match the one found on Neva, indicating that the element may be found here as well. All we know about planet Set is it is significantly cooler than Earth, (average temperature is 10f less), but the atmosphere is essentially identical.

 

3:

Planet Trad: http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/5686/trad.png

This oddly organized planet was discovered in 2124. It is believe that a large volcanic eruption several hundred or thousand years in the planet's past lead to the odd arrangement of continents, and that previously the planet had had one large continent. Due to the volcanic soil, this planet is incredibly fertile, however there is next to no animal life, as most is believe to have gone extinct after the eruption, the exception being deep sea creatures. A probe was sent down to the planet from a passing battleship, and it found that in the oceans there were large "monsters" similar to those of ancient human mythology. It also noted an irregular signal, which several years later, was identified to be identical to the ones found on Set, and Neva.

 

4:

Planet Mepha: http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/8786/mepha.png

In 2130, a escort ship suffered an unexplained power failure, and crash landed onto this inhospitable planet. It was found to have average temperatures over 100 Fahrenheit, making it unsuitable for habitation by humans. In the garbled messages sent out by the crashed team, and irregular signal was detected, and later found to be the same as the one found on the previous 3 planets. (This planet is considered a minor volcanic. It's atmosphere is unsuitable for breathing for long periods of time, after a week a human will get sick without some sort of breathing apparatus or filter.)

 

5:

Planet Tea: http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/210/teav.png

Admiral Seta of the Brazilian Armada discovered this planet in late 2134, after detecting what he believed to be a distress signal on his long range scanners. Several rescue ships were dispatched to the planet's surface, though no traces of humans or other sentient beings were found. One soldier did bring back an odd rock, weighing around 1kg. He claimed he had found it at the exact location the signal was being received from. Seta took the rock back to to his home port in Alpha Centauri for analysis.

 

6:

Planet Yare: http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/8243/yare.png

Researchers found this planet only after analyzing the material found on Planet Tea. In late 2035 they organized a scouting team to search the planet. The signal found on all the other planets was even more prevalent here. However, the researchers found that the planet was covered with what humans would consider dinosaurs, so the unarmed research team had to retreat, for fear of being slaughtered.

 

Ok, now more about the Material. Each of the planets, assuming you control the spot where the material is found (marked with an X) gives you 200kg a year, with the exception of Yare, which gives you 400kg a year.

Here's what it can do.

1kg:

10kg:

50kg: Put into a single ship's warp system, and permanently make it so that the ship takes only half a year to speed up, and half to slow down. So it means it can travel anywhere withing 50 lightyears in a year.

100kg: Can be used in an element creator (or whatever the hell they're called) to create 5,000 tons of metal. However, it can only create basic elements.

200kg:

500kg:

1000kg:

10000kg:

Anyone have any suggestions for the other amounts and what it can do?

Also, if someone were to control all 6 planets they would get 1400kg a year.

[The Dark Lord]

What do you mean by 200kg can produce 100 tonnes of metal? Are you just saying that you can create more from less, or are you saying that it's necessary to have this material in order to do alchemy period?

[Seraphi]

Ross and Archi, I smell overpowered physics bending with these strange elements.

Derp.

I already said that we're taking about 2 years to get the entire periodic table.

Who knows, the element that we need most might take 320 days to discover.

I'll go ahead and lend a helping hand with this project, considering that my people pretty much only research things now.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

How will players get to the systems? Is it just a free-for-all once they're realesed? Or have players aleady 'dibbed' planets?

[Seraphi]

I'll need to ask Archi beforehand, Sere, the project is more his than mine.

[Wisp]

Where exactly are these planets? In light years away from Sol, please. Like how exactly do I get to them?

Haven't sorted that all out yet.

 

What do you mean by 200kg can produce 100 tonnes of metal? Are you just saying that you can create more from less, or are you saying that it's necessary to have this material in order to do alchemy period?

Actually 100 tonnes is way too low. I'll fix that. We'll say without the material you could produce a maximum of 400 tonnes of gold a year through alchemy. Earth puts out ~500 tonnes. I think.

 

You cannot claim a planet. Well, you can, but it doesn't matter, atleast to me.

[Retech]

They are in new systems, correct? Also, why do they all seem to be volcanic planets? Isn't there someone with a species who loves volcanic planets?

 

 

You should make an aquatic planet :thumbsup:

 

-----------------

 

Actually, Trad seems aquatic. A large colonization force of hundreds of ships is ready to go.

Only one is a volcanic planet, Mepha. One just had a volcanic eruption, and all that means is it's incredibly fertile, but there is not much animal life. Oh, and one of them is an Aquatic, it's the one with just three little islands, and then ocean.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

Yeah, I'll send a few ships to planet set once it's been sorted out, so I'm in on the action.

[Retech]

Is Trad aquatic? I think that's the one you are refering to.

 

My fleet is readying to go to the aquatic one.

[Wisp]

Tea.

 

No ships are sent yet, I'm working out all they systems. Oh, they will each be the only planet in their system.

[Retech]

That's strange. The description of Trad seems more aquatic (deep-sea creatures?), though if you say Tea is aquatic, then that is where I am going. Could you please give some details? (Fertile, infertile, animal life?)

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

If there's anything I can do to help, Doom, let me know.

[Wisp]

That's strange. The description of Trad seems more aquatic (deep-sea creatures?), though if you say Tea is aquatic, then that is where I am going. Could you please give some details? (Fertile, infertile, animal life?)

I just meant that due to the volcanic eruption most animal life on land was wiped out, leaving only sea creatures pretty much. Tea has the least amount of land, and thus largest oceans, so it's considered aquatic. I'll work all that out later.

And I think I have it under control kirby, but thanks for the offer.

I just wrote it so that as soon as it says you can go the planets, they leave.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

I'd like to know how you prepared over 150 million people to head to a new planet in less then 2 months game time.

[Retech]

Basically it's most of my population. :)

[Retech]

Somehow, my calculator shows that I should have a population of 1 billion. Obviously, that can't be right, but that's using a conservative growth rate!

Well, I have about a 2.2% growth rate, but we're just unaltered humans.
