Uhh...RED, I already joined up as Leader of the Miranu military. Here, to thelp refresh your memory from WoD I:

"Miranu Core Defense Admiral MCD (Admiral Benden)"

Okay. Basic rundown of character:

Name:Admiral Paul Benden
Age:49
Race:Miranu
Rank:Miranu Core Defense Admiral
Background:
After serving during the first inter-galactic war, Admiral Benden had himself put into coldsleep until such time that he was needed again. Now, with the fear of an a major Azdgari offence on the horizon, he has been awakened to help fight them should they come.

I think if you have a slot for an itinerant bounty hunter, perhaps a UE loyalist unhappy with the Voinian coalition, I'd be interested. Can I still keep my FF Cobra?
I'm not sure how these webstories work...they seem a bit hardware heavy and character light, but I'll give it a shot.

I take it no one read the first post of this topic? I already set govt leaders, ALTHOUGH IT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE STORY WON'T START UNTIL NEXT WEEK PROBABLY, ALTHOUGH THURSDAY IS A POSSIBILITY. I NEED SOME MORE SECOND-IN-COMMANDS.

FORGIVE THE CAPS, MY SHIFT KEY IS STUCK AGAIN, THATS ALSO WHY SOME OF THE FIRST TOPIC IS CAPITALIZED....

I'LL FIX IT LATER.

Okeedokee, I'll be a mercenary..or the ship designer, Raven. I like a gal with a mysterious past. So what is all the damage ratings and numbers of posts for things to develop? Is there a guideline post somewhere or are we supposed to figure this out on the fly?

Watch what some of the other RP'ers do, and try to learn something from that. Also, one basic rule that anyone with good sense should/will follow, is BE FAIR. No cheats or moding, like 'My Coalition Dreadnought hypers into Zidigar and blows up the planet with it's deathray' or similar things. Thank you, enjoy your stay, and please be wary of the pet cannibal. Wait, that's me...

The story topic will be started next week I think, it will be called Wave of Destruction- Ch. 4-7. Mamajama, mostly common sense is used for research times, so lets say, for instance, you were going to upgrade a weapon you already have, to give it say, more range. It would take about 3 posts to research, and actually outfitting it on ships would take about 4 more. Designing a completely new weapon takes longer to research, but the same amount to outfit. Designing a ship on the other hand, is different. You design the ship, and then you can start building them. Get it?
It would help a whole lot of you were to download instant messenger.... (url="http://"http://www.aim.com")www.aim.com(/url)

Grundy, I'd go for a whole replacment list for those ships- they're way too powerful. You're thinking in terms of Battle for Sol, where there were huge fleets of immensely powerful ships.
I'd suggest an Interceptor, Gunship, Destroyer and Carrier.
Normal carrying capacity for a carrier is about 8 fighters.
But we'd best leave that up to REDchigh, I suppose.
MJ, I'd prefer it if you weren't Raven - I'd like to keep my command structure nicely uncomplicated.
REDchigh has put you down as "Coalition Pirates". Perhaps we could work in some twist to do with Raven and your character? Mail me if you've got any ideas - I'm getting some already.

Considering how long it takes to build the strong ships, It is reasonable... I guess. I'll fix the carrier thing.

I can also draw all my ships.

Can the Defender have at least a broadcast cloak? The cloak would be pretty useless on only one ship.
