This board sucks right now. Let's be honest. The last time we had a webstory was a year ago. It was awesome. It seems like its about time to spice things up again. Anyone who would be interested in starting a webstory, say so, and post any ideas you have. All will be heard equally, and we can decide how we want to do it, and who mods, excetera.
I think we should go back to the original idea that Battle for Sol used. Humans versus aliens. The last few webstories were plagued by independent governments, so I say we keep it to stock ships (plus alien equivilents), and original systems, plus alien.
Also, does anyone know how to make maps like Kyle and Macavenger used to do for stories? That's something essentially for a story...

Well, the thing is I can't make a new map, or edit one very well. So I figure well just use the original EV map, and maybe even one of Kyle's old alien maps?
I'll join, as long as you're serious about it being stock-game-only for everything. I'd like to moderate, too.

Photoshop should be able to do it rather easily.
One idea I have that may make an interesting twist on the webstory (as opposed to previous ones) is the introduction of logistics. Namely, missiles/torps/rockets are only produced at certain planets (and a limited quanitity per day). These must be transferred to fleets via cargo space in freighters or other fleets (the original fleet could hold some as well in their cargo spaces). With that, commerce raiding and attrition warfare become very viable (ie, trap a Confed fleet in a system and prevent resupply of missiles/torps/rockets. After they are down to only primary weapons, you can attack with impunity from long range). It'd make things a lot more realistic.

As far as I'm concerned it has to be stock to be a real EV Webstory.
We'll discuss mods later, I suppose. I want to get the story and rules layed down first so everyone knows. But there has to be a mod on every team, because no matter how realistic we say we'll keep the stuff, we will always tip it in our favor a little.
About the logistics, I think that sounds pretty cool. I want to try and incorporate it, so...
Thanks for the map, mate. What do the colors represent on the map, by the way.? Just a lil curious.
Hey! Don't rip off ROP Map! Give credit to Tim. I recognize the map format.

Eric Ventress Astereoid Field? Theres a astereoid field named after EVula? :eek: I didnt know EVula was even in maps... :eek: The other one is weird, too. Despair Astereroid Belt? Trugati Astereoid Belt was replaced with that. Weird.
------------------ I am eager to try to answer mission questions
Heh, I didn't notice that before... if my name is going to be on it, it would be better to drop the "Eric" from it, making it the Ventress Asteroid Field.
I like the name.

Rename it Guapo Asteroid Field.

I don't really care for the "logistics" idea; I don't really care for webstories based on numbers at all. The original Battle for Sol wasn't.
If someone wants to host the picture ill edit it. But i cant upload anything at the moment.

Get lost Unreal. U ruin every webstory you touch.

How about you quit hiding under that unregistered name and actually say it to his face.
Personally, I think single person can't ruin a webstory without intending to.
So... We'll have the Humans and the Aliens. I don't want to get mercenaries because as I don't like numbers a whole lot in webstories, either, it tends to muck things up. You'd have to pay mercs. If we did have one or two side factions, one would probably be pirate, but if we had a second, what would it be. A little subplot would be kind of cool...
Im not going to stoop down to your level to say a come back. Wait that was a come back right?
