The Dark Shadow

Hmm, think I'll finally try one of these out....

Since no one else has, I will claim and control the Zachit, my 2nd favorite Gov. 😉

I will, for purposes of the story, drop the UE part of my name....

Name: Zacha Crusader
Race: Confidental (perhaps will be revealed later on....)
Occupation: Major Zachit official, practically at the top of command
Lives: Outpost Zachit, but patrols the North Tip as all Zacha do.
Strengths/skills: Superb combat skills (surpassed Ultimate level), clever thinker, cool under fire, impressive leadership abilities
Ship name: Alpha Omega
Ship type: Crescent Warship
Specs: 2 SAD Launchers and 15 SAD modules replaced with 3 pursuit launchers & 30 pursuit missiles to reflect its Zachit infulence, 4 phase turrets instead of 3, enhanced with all speed upgrades thanks to a visit at Station Pybin once....basic upgrades include a density scanner, IFF decoder, afterburner, 2 mass expansions, 2 fuel tanks for increased range, and enough shield enhancement for +50 shielding (thus 300 shields instead of 250)
Escorts: A wing of 6 Zachit Aradas, all of which possess a Dangerous combat rating

I suppose the rest will come as the story develops, no? 😉

Umm....scratch that. I've decided I'm working for anyone paying most, which will probly be the one with the highest budget and is in best financial shape (Nova6 has a better budget than anyone if my memory's correct).

Personally, I think that Nova cheated with the budget.

The Igadzra are well known for having lots of very fertile land, and I think
they should have a better income (3 million a day at least)

Also, with only a few million a day, it'd take nearly a week to build a single
warship. I suggest the income figures are multiplied by 10.

You do know of course, that the ships only cost half the EVO price in RPG's...

No, actually I didn't know that.

Great! Lotsa new players! Greetings, all of you, especially you, UEC! It's cool to have a certified "oldie" join.

Right, I think we've got enough govts covered for the present, so... story unfrozen! New people are still welcome to join.

Let me clarify about the economy. Silverdragon: ships cost half. Sorry for not making it clear. Anyway, you would have three mil, but you're doing a research project, which subtracts -1 mil initially and 1 mil per day. Bigger projects, (8 posts or more) take up 3 mil initially, and 1.5 mil per day.

MOVES:

New research project: Tachyon Beam.
ETC: 6 posts.

The Tachyon beam is an improved version of the Phased Beam. It has been modified to take up very small amounts of fuel, and its power is 1.5 times that of a Phased Beam. It is also fairly effective against armor, though not as effective as it is against shields. - 1 mil.

Lots of new Zidaras are being made.

I'm right.

I will agree to your bargain on one condition.You will give me fair warning before you ever attack the Zidagar so that I may get my family to safety.So the Zid ECM for SAE modules + my new condition,Is it a deal?

Me and Carnotaur get the same amount of money. Just Carnotaur is researching something.

That's because you are researching something!

Maybe. Besides, if it starts getting really confusing, and a lot of people start complaining, I wont use the economy report.

Dark Tide will (hopefully) have a sequel eventually. And as some of you (or at least one of you) may know, I'm also working on the sequel for Red Horizon.

SilverDragon; Nova is by no means cheating. The Azdgari get lots of credits by raiding, and he's not researching anything. On the other hand, you are researching something and you need to build Igazras which take up lots of credits.

Actually, in my own opinion, I think we should just get rid of the economy report.

<Hello Mighty Emporer Nova6. I am Captain Carnotaur, emporer of the mighty Voinian Grand Empire and decendent of Borb. I am engaged in a war against the Emalgha and UE, you are fighting the Zidagar and Igadzra, and we both could benefit from each other's cooperation. I don't ask for an alliance if you don't want it, but I do highly suggest a cooperative; in which we will not attack each other be we will give each other some technology and aid if the other side really needs it. I can give you Bronov Armor, which will make your ships highly formidable and make your enemies bow at your feet. Do you accept?>

ESPilot's fleet has landed on Tumni to refuel and resupply weaponry, while he hires 3 Miranu H. Freighters into the fleet pick up and deliver some 'classified cargo', picking it up at his fleet's headquarters (just a medium-sized military fortress on Hizdriar occupied by scientists, engineers, pilots, and chip-above-the-rest marines from many different races, complete with a moderate shipyard), as well as other purposes.

NEW PROJECT:
Type: Ship
Name: CLASSIFIED
Purpose: Upgrade of a Miranu H. Freighter, able to hold 2 CF Bays, 7 CF's, and transport up to 1000 CLASSIFIED from one spot to another.

Estimated time to completion: 3 posts

Why thank you, the pleasure is mine. 🆒

OK, time for some first moves here. Don't know how much money the Zachit have to work with, so I'll keep it pretty basic.

<New Technology research>

The Miranu Gunship, a new fighting vessel designed specifically for the Zachit in part with the Miranu.

Fuel: 5 jumps
Speed: 250
Accel: 500
Turning: 3 (90 degrees per second)
Shields: 80
Armor: 25
Max Guns/Turrets: 3/3
Crew: 3
Recharge Rate: 150
Weapon/cargo space: 35/25
Availability: Zachit and allies only (need specific permission from myself)
Cost: 1,125,000 credits (since ships cost 1/2 what they do in EVO, this is designed no differently)

Starting weaponry: 3 Phase Turrets, 2 SAD Modules & 30 SAD Modules, 1 Repulsor Beam

Estimated time until completion: 3 posts from now

As I put the plans for the new Gunship's development into motion, I head into Outpost Zachit's bar for a drink before I set out on my next patrol run.....

<Message to Blackwing, Leader of the Miranu><Encrypted>
Greetings, Miranu Emperor. As you know, our two races have always been amiable towards each other. I now suggest that we form an alliance between our two peoples. We could help to protect you from the growing Renegade threat and provide you with Zidagar Technology, and you could provide us with your technology, such as those nifty little speed upgrades and the Pursuit Missile. We could also initiate a trade agreement, that both our economies would be benifitted. Do you accept?

<Message to ESpilot><Encrypted 9021 Delta>
The Zidagar would gladly accept your services, captain. I'd like you to keep an eye on Rima, she's been in contact with someone recently. We could only pick up a few words of the transmissions, but I heard someone say "Zidagar ECM." If she tries anything funny, stop her.

A Zidagar strike force is being assembled at Outpost Terapin.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :::ECONOMY REPORT::: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Here is the list of how much money indivuals have.

Nova6(Azdgari):.......................44 million + 4 mil/day*

ESPilot:.....................20 million

-REDCHIGH-(UE):...................38 million + 3 mil/day*

SilverDragon(Igadzra)**:.....................42 million + 2 mil/day*

UE Crusader(Zachit)**:.....................33 million + 2 mil/day*

  • = all days are actual real life days
    ** = Researching project (Researching takes up money, so everyone who is researching something gets 1 million taken off their credits per day)

Governments still open for taking:

Independent

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Samurai, I'll leave you in charge of the economy report. Just copy this report, make the changes, and then post it. Re-post it only once another page is started, and if someone joined. Also, be fair, and make sure to add money to everyone's account once a day. And If someone losses a battle, take some money out of his account. Also when someone increases (sp?) ship building take money of their credits-per-day. And when someone starts a trade agreement, add some money to their credits-per-day. Ok? Good. Have fun! 🙂
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Titan, sorry, but I am in no need of another mod. But if the story gets hectic, I'll make you a mod.

Carnotaur, where is that map???

One thing, try to send the least amount of messages as possible. It's a lot funner if you go and meet the person you want to talk to.
