ESPilot watches the monitor showing the space around the Zidagar system, and watches as an Igazra suddenly jumps in and heads for Tumni. It lands, and ESPilot exits the room and in a few minutes is down on the dock discussing something with the dockworkers. After awhile, the conversation is over, and dockworkers haul a large contraption from the I.S.S. Incognito's cargo bays. ESPilot reenters the office and says "Well there's your beam. Next off, you'll need something to test it on, maybe an Azdgari Warship. I heard from the captain of the Incognito that he picked up a transmission, from these Voinians to the Azdgari. I believe that if they're making an alliance, we should make contact with the terrans as fast as possible. Listen, get your fastest Zidara, and I'll be in my Igazra, and we must get to Earth quickly. I have the cooradinance, because they were in the transmission." He runs out to the dock and enters the I.S.S. Igadzra, and waits for whatever Zidara Rima's sending.
------------------ Recently started playing ROTUE, haven't got too far, haven't seen any new ships.
Wait a second, red. I'm gonna have to call you on this.
The Emalgha have unbdoubtedly disabled hundreds of Voinian ships in the past, and never been able to reverse-engineer them before. How come all of a sudden you can do it now? You can't do that.
And as I said, I wasn't trying to reverse-engineer the UE ships. I said that I was using them to attack the independent worlds, and you still haven't said what the results were.
And you haven't told me the results of my attack on Mirava either. Comeon, red! Don't let the chronology get screwed up like this! And there's no way that the Miranu could start churning out rockets before my ships arrive.
------------------ Giule out.

We should be starting on the Kestrels anytime now.Since I havent posted in a while, I'll say that the Destroyer Dock will be finished in one post,and the UE Battlecruiser in 3.
Nicks Destroyer, sfter exnensive travel,lands at the Lunicus spaceport and heds for the headquarters.In the headquarters he meets admiral McPherson and discusses something in private with him.Nick goes to his ship and leaves,and blasts off for the frontier to fight the Voinians.
new project
Tiger Missile/launcher enlarged Hunter missile, with the same speed and fire rate, but 1.1 times the damage of a normal rocket weighs 3 tons, launcher 40 tons will be done in about 3 posts

Because the weren't trying to reverse-engineer them, and they've never captured one before. Oh, and they've never had such a great leader before!
** And as I said, I wasn't trying to reverse-engineer the UE ships. I said that I was using them to attack the independent worlds, and you still haven't said what the results were.
** I said that you got three destroyers, one carrier, and twelve fighters. You haven't ordered them anywhere yet! **
And you haven't told me the results of my attack on Mirava either. Comeon, red! Don't let the chronology get screwed up like this! And there's no way that the Miranu could start churning out rockets before my ships arrive.**
I know that. Thats why i an also sending numerous Emalgha ships to them for backup. What attack on mirava? Remind me! when did u attack? (B)
That answer ur questions?
Rima goes down to the spaceport.The workers keep offering her a ship for free but instead Rima goes into a part of the spaceport that was off limits.In there was a Zidara that had a white stripe on it.It was the Z.S.S. White Death.She got the crew gathered up and they went up into space.
------------------ I'm not dead yet.In fact I feel pretty good!" I cut off your arm!""It's only a flesh wound!" "Bless this holy hand grenade..."
The I.S.S. Igadzra, ESPilot's Igazra, takes off from the port following the Z.S.S. White Death, being able to keep up with it due to a great increase in speed over normal Igazras. He hyperjumps into the next system, and sees a lone Azdgari Arada. He launches all 3 Igadzra Fighters, and they make short work of the Azdgari Arada and come back to the dock, just as the Z.S.S. White Death arrives, and the I.S.S. Igadzra jumps into the next system.
AS they jump threw hyperspace Rima remebers that Silver Dragon still has the Crystals.She quickly sends an encrypted message telling him to drop his "cargo" off at Vlagos Science Department.
Red, go back and read the damn posts. I /did/ order the UE ships somewhere, and I /did/ order an attack on Mirava.
And even if you could reverse-engineer Voinian ships, it'd take you at least as long as a normal research project - not just in the space of one post. And then it'd take longer to build manufacturing facilities. This is nuts.
New Project Started Type: Weapon Name: Azdgari Phase Turret Range: Same as the Phase Turret Damage: 200% of the Phase Turret Tonnage: 40 tons (edited, sorry 'bout that) Max per ship: 4 Estimated time to completion: 5 posts

<Message to Giule of the Voinan's> <<Class A1 Encryption>>
Lord Giule,
I thank you greatly for the armor technology. I hope that you can make good use of the shielding. I have an idea for a warship that we could produce together, as the Azdgari have never really had a powerful cruiser of any sort. I will head to Voina immediately to discuss it with you.
<<Encryption Deactivated>> <Message End>
The Crescent Warship 'FireScreamer' heads off to Voina, sending a message of greetings to Jade on the way.

Hi! Make an alliance. <several pages of reasons>
Redchigh out.
Red, you still haven't told me the results of my attacks! If you can't do this, I'm not gonna continue playing your game. When I make an attack, I don't want to wait 50 posts before you tell me what happens!

My Mistake. I am truly sorry. i was cut off for a day, and i thought i had already read the top of page three. Tell me how this is:
The Voinian fleet warps in, and meets a suprisinly large Zachit Force. The Voinians disperse, and attack the miranu and zacha vessels. Even the mighty missile boats and gun boats are no match for the Voinian Armor. A few Zachit Aradas had been outfitted with Emalgha Rockets, but it wasn't enough. The Miranu force is losing terribly. The remaining ships land on the planet and station, pick up everything they can, and retreat to ...(miranu, say where u retreat to). The Voinians then stay in orbit to decide what to do, when there are no more Zachit/ miranu vessels.
What were Zachit doing in Mirava anyway? And what station are you talking about?
No matter. My Voinian fleet will drop into Mira's atmosphere and fire weapons at the surface. They will attempt to destroy all large cities, and then will attempt to ruin the environment however they can, hopefully rendering the planet uninhabitable.
Now, what about my attack on the independent worlds? I made this one way back like in the beginning of section 2, and you still haven't told me the results. To retell it: The UE ships which I have captured were sent to attack the independent human worlds (Iothe, Thehir, Gribn, etc.) south/east of the UE worlds. They self-destructed when their shields went down to avoid being boarded, and did not respond to hails, so nobody would know they weren't UE. They didn't stick around when the going got tough; just try and get as many worlds as possible mad at UE. So what was the result? (mind you, this was a long time ago, so the UE player should not be able to declare actions related to this anymore)
I still don't think it's fair to reverse-engineer my technology. The Emalgha most definately have disabled Voinian ships before and weren't able to figure anything out. Red, making it this easy to steal technology will unbalance the game. As soon as anyone invents anything, everybody else will steal it. I recommend you go back and change what happened.
My plasma seeker cannon is complete.
New research project: Type: science My Voinian scientists are attempting to use their gravity generator technology to create a device that will create and manipulate mini-singularities. The long-term goal is to construct a wormhole. This is pretty freaky stuff, so I think you might want to tell me how long it'd take, Red (or even if it's allowed) If you don't change it tho, I'm saying it'll be done in 15 posts.
I'd also like to say that if things keep going how they're going, it looks like we're gonna end up with a big war with Voinia, the North Tip Nation, and the Azdgari on one side, with everyone else on the other side. We have the technology, while you others have the numbers. Red, this reverse-engineering thing is gonna kill us, and it's way way way unfair. This is pretty important. I feel that you're acting in a very biased manner. And even if you can reverse-engineer technology, it should take a long time. Your scientists reverse-engineered Voinian technology in a single post! That is really, really bogus.

As the I.S.S. Igadzra jumps into the Mira system on its roundabout course to Earth, ESPilot sees it. the Voinians bombarding the planet's surface mercilessly, with no remaining defense for the Miranu homeworld.
He processes this in his mind as his battle insctincts come into full effect, and he luanches his fighters, sending them at the unaware Voinians catching them completely off guard. ESPilot says to himlef "Good thing I picked up an Ore Corrosion beam for my own ship." and approaches the Voinian fleet, now completely aware of the situation.
He fires his corrosion beam, and watches it eat through the Voinian hulls like a knife through hot butter. Scratch one destroyer, 3 more, and a Cruiser with a full compliment of fighters. He sends his Igadzra fighters against the Voinians fighters, with 1 Igadzra fighter to each Voinian fighter except one which is double-teamed by the voinians. Two fighters are quickly destroyed by powerful SAE's, while another Frigate is destroyed via the corrosion beam. ESPilot now uses a combination of beam and turrets for full effect, his shields down to 40% after continuous beating.
He sees the Z.S.S. White Death jump in and launch its fighters, sending them at the one remaining Cruiser, and they're knocked back by rockets and demolished by the fusion weapons. ESPilot comes within firing range and activates the corrosion beam, annihilating the Cruiser's heavy armor while taking good damage from the fusion weaponry. ESPilot sees the Z.S.S. White Death come in like a streak of purple and white lightning, and fires its corrosion beam finishing the cruiser. They land, refuel and resupply, and continues to Earth.

Ridiculous. There were over three hundred dreadnaughts, cruisers, and frigates there. Are you trying to tell me that one Zidara killed them all? Absurd. Besides, that's against the rules. You're not allowed to say the results of the fight. All you're allowed to say is that you're attacking.
OOC: I know it takes time to build ships, so I did not get my Missileboat fleet full, but I already had gunboats.
BTW, does the Miranu know about F-25? ------------------- After the admitting defeat in the battle of Mira, the Miranu retreat to Kirrim Prime and Kitrak, the whole fleet going through Tufel and Kitrak.
--message to REDchigh of the Emalgha-- --encryption active-- We lost, retreated, and are retrofitting our ships with rockets. If you need medical supplies, I am able to arrange a few of our Couriers to get them to you. I cannot provide any ships if you continue your raids, but I am able to help with resources. --End of Message--
So the retrofitting begins.
I also send scouts flying couriers escorted by a few gunboats to get more samples of the planet F25. -----------
Another OOC note: I will edit this post if the Miranu have not yet explored the Nebulas --------------

Sorry, this battle happened a long time ago, it just wasn't posted.

Hmmm. if the Voinians have Dreadnoughts, then i guess you can start with f-25
OOC:
Sorry about that, Kalle Nothing personal or anything, but I thought this game could use a little real excitement. That was the first real big battle, dontcha know.
