Universal Ascendancy—OOC Thread

Pozdag is the name of the system where Pozdag is, and Outpost Maloch is in the Qerid system on the very northern edge of the Crescent.

Take a line from any Star Wars movie. Replace certain words with 'spank':
"The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Spank."
"Queen Amidala is young and naive; you will find spanking her not too difficult." "And what of the Jedi?" "She should never have brought them into this. Spank them immediately."

True. Jeez! Well, they already allowed passage to the Azdgari Fleet for everywhere. Those two systems suffers from renegades attacks.

Again, kauthor, I will comment that I left my character waiting to deliver this message to you, and in your next post, you say nothing about meeting with my character, yet you already have the message that she's supposed to deliver. Are you supposed to have met with her already? I don't know what's going on, could you please explain to me? I did get the message via email, though.

Paranoid, your shipyard details and times look about right; it's cleared, so go ahead with it.

Xenocide, I have a few questions for you.

Technology breakthroughs

  1. Zidagar Arada
  2. SAC (Seek and consume)
  3. Zidagar cruiser
  4. Zidagar SA carrier (ship)
  5. Zidigar Mori Light fighter
  6. SADi
  7. Holographic reaserch
  8. Factory Buliding (Station Hesap) Fleet production expantion
    Started 4-9-03 Finished 4-??-02 OOC Right here
  9. Factory Buliding (Station Hesap) Weapon expantion
    Started 4-9-03 Finished 4-??-02
  10. Factory Buliding (Station Hesap) Fleet production expantion
    Started 4-9-03 Finished 4-??-02

First, for the projects you have finished, could you append a completed next to it or something? It gets confusing when I see 10 projects being listed and you can only be developing three at one time.

What is "Holographic research"? I have never seen in your posts you refer to a description for this. However, if my memory is failing me, please correct me, because I am curious as to what this is. If it is, in fact, a research project, then you should only have 3 research projects up and running anyways, with you being a Strand government. So, a description of it is needed if it is to go through.

I can't help you on estimated construction times for those projects until you give me a good description as to what they are going to do. How many ships are they going to make? Of what class are these ships? I need more details to work from if I am to give a rough estimate as to what the time should be.

Again, to all; I need to see good and detailed descriptions of all research and projects if I am to accurately and fairly moderate on them.

Thanks,
Solel

Could you post it Kauthor has blown any secrecy that we had (no offense). If you posted the email it might be able to converse about it. The north tip renegades know who is going to attack them and where now. The methods do not need to be kept secret because they can not counteract us with that information.
Kauthor calm down Cresent is right what you are doing is kind of confusing. Take a deep breath and post what happens in the meeting and tell Seleria what you want.

-Also Paranoid. Did you send me a ship with the technology or just a data file. If you sent a warship it will take forever to get to Raigar. You posted your action on 04-06-2003 09:15 PM. At 2 jump per RTD and 13 jumps it will be sometime this weekend I guess.

-This seems to have been ignored. Maybe it should be a rule or something:
"Everyone is to post ship descriptions is they design new ones." -Sole

-What is the deal with the Council. I know they are neutral but I don't think they would like me upgrading their old station; Cresent Station. I will just continue upgrading it. I checked and it does not have asteroids so I will take out that upgrade.

I have personal gurantee from Solel that anybody using the knowledge of the message will be revoked ad blantant use of OCC Knowledge. So, that covers it. And GordonTron, get on AIM. We need to discuss that. I am online right now.

Kauthor is correct. The renegades do not know of your plans, because your messages have not been intercepted by them. If anyone who does not have access to these messages uses the information contained within them, they are using OOC knowledge and their post shall be revoked.

And yes. If I do not see a ship description, including outfits, the research will be illegitimate until I see some details.

Gordontron; Crescent Station, although owned by the Council, is maintained by the Azdgari. You could just say that you're beefing it up to make sure its purpose is fulfilled properly. Also, your facility for making new G2 Azdaras, which you have down for 3 RTDs, brings up some questions. How many is it supposed to produce?

Again, the ship description rule applies to shipyards and technologies as well.

Regards,
Solel (note the L at the end of it :D)

Ok, kauthor, thank you letting my know what my character is doing 😄

Gordontron, do you want me or kauthor to post the message about the attack on the renegades?

“including outfits,”-Sole
So does this mean that we have to describe what it looks like? How it works?

The facility for making G2 Azdaras at full production can produce 25 ships per RTD. This is the same as how many Adaras I can produce. If that is too many or too little then say so.

“Gordontron, do you want me or kauthor to post the message about the attack on the renegades?” Cresent
If you mean your meeting I do not care. Ok lets say you Cresent. If you mean the actual attack the exact date and method of attack has not been hammered out in character.

Descriptions:
G2 Azdara: Now the Generation 2 Azdaras. The holovid in front of you has information about it.”
The ship is green like most Azdgari ships and looks like a cross between an Azdara and Arada. It is about the length and width in both dimensions. Here are its stats:

A. Ship name: G2 Azdara
B. Shield: 450
C. Armor: 75
D. Acceleration: Very good (Azdara excellent)
E. Cargo space: 5
F. Weapon space: 60
G. Turning: Very Good (Azdara excellent)
H. Top speed: Excellent
I. Fuel: 10 jumps
J. Standard with: Azdgari Shield Generator, Azdgari Jamming Device, 4 forward facing Swivel Phase cannons (2 set in belly two set in top), 2 Shield Capacitors, (ooc: tell me if you think this one is unfair) 1 Dispersal rocket launcher plus 20 rockets

other notes: They are too big to fit in preexisting Azdara bays, and I need to figure out how many I can produce (I will look over the rules again)

Azdgari Shield Generator: You know the deal. It re energizes the shields much, much faster (but not as good as the one in the game) than they would ordinarily. It just looks like your water heater.

Azdgari Jamming Device:
“Yes but this device not only jams all homing objects it also, in theory, it completely jams anything with a targeting system. In other words turrets will be useless against any ships that has this device. It takes up 5 space however because it is so powerful.” It is 90% effective against missiles and homing projectiles. It is 85% effective against all turrets. It is mainly a computer device and looks like nothing interesting.

G2 Azdara manufacturing unit: This factory takes advantage of Xarnes’ history. Xarnes used to be a mining colony and there are many abandoned mines. These mines are monitored. This manufacturing unit is being produced down in one of the larger mines that have a huge cavern and many large tunnels. It needs to be enlarged and production equipment and security brought in. It already has some basic infrastructure due to its mining history and further more it is very strong since it was metal mine.

Cresent Station: The Council demands that the Azdgari keep the station in good condition. They do not say that they cannot destroy the station but building on it is never mentioned. To allow for a further plot line I have decided to give Cresent Station this characteristic: the station is in the shape of an hourglass. Both sides are enormous. One side is out of bounds to all nations except for the Council. The other half has no specific rules except it must be held intact by the Azdgari. The station is stable and has basic oxygen flowing.

Gordon P.

Edit: The G2 Azdara is going on this base:
A common cresent warship:
Speed 175
Acceleration 150
Turning 120°/sec
Shields 250
Armor 25

25 per RTD is far too much for one shipyard, unless you spent a monstrous amount of time on it (7 RTDs).

I just sent a message to the Zachit and Seleria with the exact date and method. Instead of posting a new topic I just edited my last one.

Ok well then consider it completed after 7 RTD's. I edited the post on the main thread not the OOC thread. It will be completed on the 16th next wednesday since I started it yesterday I am pretty sure.

"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"- George Shrub

Um, Gordontron, all Azdgari vessels come with the Azdgari Upgrade — it's why the Azdgari variants of standard Crescent ships (Azdgari Warship, Azdgari Arada) have superior turning. You only get it as a seperate outfit in EVO because you start the Azdgari string as an outsider and your ship, having not been made by the Azdgari (unless you've been cheating) doesn't come with the Upgrade.

Oh well I always viewed it as a separate upgrade because even if you bought an Azdara you could still get the upgrade. I even if you are right will just asume that the upgrade is separate. You may be right but for the sake of the story I will justa asume that it is a separate upgrade. Thanks for questioning that though.

"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"- George Shrub

Gordon, my point is that it is not a seperate upgrade. The only reason you could buy it if you had an Azdara is there isn't a way for EVO's engine to restrict a speed/turning upgrade from certain ships, or it was just overlooked (or both).
To just assume that something is what it isn't is just blatantly stupid.

MOD: Gordontron, part of the main point of webstories to be remain true to the beginnings and layouts of the game of EV:Override. Since the Azdgari already do have their upgrade installed on their ships, you cannot re-install it for an additional improvement. You'll need to do something else.
