Riiiight.

 

Also, 2 research points into humanoid armours (suits and non-space mechs). This will be carried on through the Medusa lineage.

 

Anyways, this is definitely Faust/Peritus/Gerere's new themesong.

So when's the next session?

[Nexaduro]

... Monday? As always?

[Nero]

Shutup your face.

 

Also, off session:

 

My shuttle heads down to the colony and loads 290 of those mechs I gave to you back onto the Estoc (I though at first they were like the mechs from MechWarrior, but instead they're like the humanoid LOKI mechs from Mass Effect, oh well). And yes I change their AI code or whatever to make them loyal to me.

 

So I now have 300 mechs on the Estoc. It'll do for a crew until I find suitable peoples.

[Nexaduro]

Too late, Nero, they were repurposed. My suit's worth more, you can have that and scrap it as you like. It won't fit Gerere anyways.

[Leiana]

*sigh* since when do Peri and Vasily argue like little girls?

[Nexaduro]

Since when have you made it your mission to annoy the [cabbage] out of EVERYONE?

 

SERIOUSLY! Comments to yourself SOMETIMES at least, and if you feel the need to post stuff about your personal life, at least have the decency to do it IN THE BACK ROOM!

 

I realize I'm not the best role model, but jeez.

 

Back on topic!

 

Max, if I get the chance it would be nice to head off with your little five-man band on that rinky-dink destroyer, it's not as if a child could get away with piloting his own ship. And I like the outlaw vibe.

[Leiana]

Since when is Nex a parent? JK Nex :D I know you mean well.

[Nero]

Too late, Nero, they were repurposed. My suit's worth more, you can have that and scrap it as you like. It won't fit Gerere anyways.

How much would I get for scrapping it?

[Nexaduro]

2180 or so.

 

From now on I'll no longer be playing as Peri, for the most part. I'll be a rogueish young man with a ridiculous 10,000kT anti-spacecraft pistol. :thumbup:

 

Also Meson Blasters are now the most powerful weapons in the game.

[Leiana]

Awww So I can't finish the picture of Peri yelling a Xinea? Nvrmnd I still can.

[Retech]

2180 or so.

 

From now on I'll no longer be playing as Peri, for the most part. I'll be a rogueish young man with a ridiculous 10,000kT anti-spacecraft pistol. :thumbup:

 

Also Meson Blasters are now the most powerful weapons in the game.

 

Isn't it the whole point of Meson Blasters to not blow holes in the ship's hull? (Aka onboard fight scene friendly)

[Nexaduro]

No, I'm saying Archi set concrete stats for weaponry; by level 20 of research in every technology, Meson Blasters become established as the strongest due to fire rate. Also, rather than just get one that can blow a hole in a ship's hull, I'll probably get a Meson Gatling Arm-cannon.

 

I'm kinda sad wiith the stuff Archi has provided, now we just get weapon mods and have to choose base attributes to work with from an existing weapon. And none of them are very good compared to the Meson Blasters.

 

Well, pistol combat for everyone I suppose!

[Earth]

I disagree! I'm sticking with my interesting weaponry (Be it stabby or not) rather than an easily dismissed pistol.

Also, for reference, level 20 handheld Meson Blasters are 19 kT.

If you want to calculate anything:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12603519/Levels.xls

Only change the red squares.

Small is for handheld(Divide the price in the price guide by 10 for the handheld version)

[Leiana]

Sweet, I can open Microsoft Exel Spread sheets! Yay!

 

Anywho back on topic.... http://dl.dropbox.co...ace/Weapons.txt All the weapons mentioned in this seems to be meant for a ship, not for hand held use.

 

Also, Archi, I have FINALLY come up with the correct question to ask you. Is it possible for me to get the Thought Bowstaff to reduce in size (as in become almost 1/3 to 1/4 of it's current size) and at the push of a button or voice command, it becomes it's origional size? If so, will it also cost me kT as well as a research point or will it just cost me a research point?

[archimage_a]

/join #space-6 tavern

 

 

Yes, it would cost +5 kT

[Earth]

Not going to attend todays session.

Ok, updatary:

 

 

The vote, unsuprisingly, failed 435,000 to 22,000.

 

In other news the Terran Federation have offered a 10,000 kT bounty for each of Vasily's squad members after footage was sent to them showing the brutal beating of Chi, and subsequent destruction of the Pegasus.

 

Additionally, the Kalinka have set up a new Jumpgate into Astare.

The mission, apparently, was started late last year, has been to set up a truespace gateway on the edge of the Terrance Rift. The transport vessels had been flying for the best part of 8 months in truespace, finally arrived within the Terrance rift and deployed a pair of jumpgates, one linking to Tocys, the other to Astare.

The operation, a technical marvel of the modern age, has opened up a vital trade route into the Astare System for the Kalinka Empire and ends the dominance of the Terran Empire, since their establishing of two colonies earlier this year. The colony vessels, who were travelling with the Jumpgate fleet, are expected to arrive in two months, delivering some half a million settlers.

 

The Johan Dynasty legalises slavery on their worlds and adds its name to the Terran Federation's calls to end the unfair ruling prohibiting the expansion of their territory.

However, in the Astare System this has only resulted in the Andian Empire beginning a colonial mission to Astare 4, locally known as Ravenna. The ship will be crossing the Terran Federation over the next year, spending a little over a day in each system, but carries three quarters of a million inhabitants.

 

Pirate activity within the Astare System has stepped up as a result of earlier attacks on their bases. The new bases, established on Astare 3 are seen as a direct challange to the Terran Settlement on Astare 4. While some bases had been established on the abandoned colony world, the new bases sport a population of some 30,000 people in total. Berlin has felt a drop in piracy over the last two months while the pirate fleet was in flight.

British Spacer colonies have invited Kalinka warships, in a direct violation of Terran laws, to guard their bases. The Terran Fleet, which had departed only last month, has remained on course for Rossini, where they are expected to escort the Andian Colony Ship to Astare.

 

And in local news:

Following months of inactivity by the Astare Government, a Biological study has been undertaken by the citizens. The study is expected to be completed next month.

In addition to this, with the aforementioned inactivity there has been some breakaway from the main settlement. Three groups, one of 40,000, one of 25,000 and one of 10,000 have broken away to start their own settlements. While still loyal to the Terran Federation, the settlements are in direct competition with Ravenna, and there has already been some espionage, with the theft of 2,000 kT, left lying around bore mines.

The Arbiters have reached 1,000 members has has stopped growing under the direction of Chief Shemlock. The force is now working on establishing a fleet of ground, air and sea vechicles to deal with the growing settlements. Patrols have been stepped up to deal with the recent thefts.

 

6 months until the tax is due: 25,000 kT.

Game Mechanics:

Ok, this is me prodding the game into action:

Flying around as the caped crusader won't really work for much longer.

Mercenary missions are obviously still avalible, however there will nominally be a reason why blowing up the base from orbit will not work.

Also please be aware of cyber missions. Anyone can take part in them, and they have a far smaller risk, since you won't die if you are killed in them...and unless you go after fleet command, there is unlikely to be any serious comeback on you if you fail. You can also steal kT or Tech Points, or other general effects.

The downsides are that you are using programs, not nominal weapons. If you trip the firewall the area cannot be re-entered (aka no respawns to that mission when you die), and if you aren't properly prepared you can get hacked back.

Anything that has a computer network can be hacked.

 

And everyone has a room on Astare 4 (Except Nero and Max) and will spawn there if anything happens to them.

 

Also, current situation is:

Jonathan is Oversight for the System

Aden is Colonial Overseer

Nero is Pirate on the Estoc

Max is Minor Pirate on a ship

Jac is Captain without a ship

Chi is Captain without a ship

Xina is in her room

Mars is onboard the Estoc

Earth is in his room

Zeitark is on his ship, Knightmare, in Deadspace

Mask is in the Clinix

[Jehosaphat]

So I'm piratin' stuff with Nero? Cool. ARR HARR YARR!

[Nero]

Yo [garden tool] [garden tool]!

[Nexaduro]

And I assume I'm on Astare as well, flying over those Bore mines I bought with my Destroyer?

 

That 2000kT theft wasn't from MY Bore mines, right? It's not as if I had time to do anything other than ask for them to be set up.

[Earth]

Right, so on the one session I miss due to having to work, you all go [bleep]ing nuts and ruin stuff. I think i'm going to play my hand and take the reins of the Ravenna Colony to see what I can do.

[Grim_]

Yo [garden tool] [garden tool]!

Bit of a [bleep] move dusty, bah, probably serves me right for thinking you weren't playing a power hungry egomaniac this time around. At any rate, this should be interesting.

[archimage_a]

Gerere, no, your bore mines were not built when the thefts happened.
