AN EPIC ESCAPE VELOCITY ADVENTURE
BY NOVA6
MODERATED BY NOVA6
C0-MODERATED BY SAMURAI
RULES: 1. You may control only your own character. 2. No total destruction. 3. Your posts may only account for one weeks time and one day's action. 4. No undefeatable protections. 5. Lifepads (small shield protection modules) may be used while aboard one's own or affiliated structure, and warsuit (suits with life support and shielding) may be used given time to put one on before going onto a hostile structure. 6. Thread Moderators may revoke your posts at any time if they do not follow these rules. 7. Anything acquired or developed must be noted. Background developments are allowed only by moderators.
Rules for researching: 1. You have to post saying that you have started researching something, and the researching of that thing is done. 2. Tech and Civil advances are made during the story timeframe. 3. All tech is the same as in EVO, to get new tech you have to research it.
This's what you should post when you start a research project:
Research project initiated
Project name: <Put the name of your project here>
Estimated time to finish: <Put number of posts until your project is done here. Example: "4 posts" (That means that when I post 4 action posts then the project is done)>
NOTE: This story starts when you first start out in the game. In other words no missions have been done, the UE and Voinians have not discovered the Miranu yet, the Rock is still existent, ect. ect.
GLACTIC MAP: Carnotuar is working on it.
TO ALL PEOPLE WHO WANT TO JOIN: You have to post info on your character before you post about doing something.
INTRO: OK, people. I've decided that everyone will control empires or join us as roamers. Roamers are mercenaries who do work for other governments. If you don't want to be a roamer, you can choose to control a government. You can control either the Voinains, UE, Strandless, Renegades, Miranu, Zidagar, Igadzra, or the Azdgari. ---------------- I will start it out by claimimg the Azdgari.
Here is some info on my character:
Name: Nova6 Spiecies: Azdgari Ocupation: Emporer of the Azdgari empire. Lives: Dames Ship: Azdgari Warship Ship name: Lone Darkness Ship specs: 100 more armor, 100 more shields, Azdara fighter bay-8 Azdaras, IFF Decoder, Density scanner, 2 more Phase turrets, Dispersal rocket launcher-25 rockets, Cloak, 6 Azdgari Warship escorts.

With Apoc.Night and the sequel to Red Horizon coming, this isn't a good idea, but I'm in.

Igadzra's the name (well, the government) shooting Azdgari's the.......job.

I suggest that our peoples work together.
Esponer out.

Project name: SAI modules
Estimated time to finish: 5-6 posts
Information: SAI (search and incinerate) modules are the ultimate upgrade to the original SAD module. They pack more power, are faster and more accurate, as they do not spin as much. 3 SAI modules can seriously damage almost anything.

Don't worry. This story can be for people who don't want to be a part of Apoc. Night, and the Red Horizon Sequel (which I am going to start) still needs some work before it actually starts.
------------------ To Escape Velocity: Nova and Beyond! -------------- Millennium. Its coming, prepare for it. Coming to the (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiaSW.com/games/ev/chronicles.html")EV Chronicles(/url).

Originally posted by SilverDragon: With Apoc. Night and the sequel to Red Horizon coming, this isn't a good idea, but I'm in.
Well, first of all, I didn't know what Apoc. Night was at that time. Seconed, I didn't know that the sequel to Red Horizon was coming. I only just came back.
NOTE: If anyone wants to be a Co-Moderator, just let me know.

No one make any moves until we've got more of the govt's covered. That way everyone can start in equally, at the same time. Everything is currently frozen 'till we get a few more players.
And Carno, how'd you get those Phase Turrets? You don't even know that the Miranu exist.
BTW, Combat Rating for me: Ultimate
Combat Ratings for my fleet: Arada: Deadly Arada: Deadly CW (not mine, my escort's CW): Ultimate Arada: Deadly Lazira: Ultimate Lazira: Deadly

And my fleet's ship have names of course: Arada: Starfire Arada: Icerazor Arada: Thunderclaw Lazira: Feargrip Lazira: Fireswipe CW: Lightning Star And of course my ship: S.S. Honor Blade

OOC: I know the game has not really started yet, but please let me have the following post:
-------------------- <<Message to Rima, Roamer>> <<From Esponer, Supreme Commander of the Igadzra>> <<Top Class Courier>>
I have heard that you have access to the Zidagar ECM systems. Unless you are particularly keen on the Zidagar, I was wondering whether I could hire you, and perhaps trade the secret of SAE modules for Zidagar ECM........
