Indeed, and it's angering me. If I don't see good, detailed descriptions about research, constructions, new ship designs, etc., soon, I'm going to start revoking it/putting it on hold until I see what the hell it is.

The first act of this might happen very soon, apparently.

I'd like to see some descriptions in your status report. What is the make-up of both the Strroka fighter and the Strroka carrier? What's your factory expansion.

I'm still waiting on an answer to my questions about Xenocide's tech.

One final note: Since Varuna has been inactive for so long now, a new player has volunteered to replace him in the interest of keeping the story going. RMA will be leading the Igadzra from this point on.

?????????
Question: Why is RMA posting in the webstory? And why is he playing the Igadzra?? Where's Varuna and Carno????? I'm confused......

------------------
-Everyone has a photographic memory, just not everyone has film.
-Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
-Great minds think alike but fools never differ.

Because Varuna aint posted, and carno aint here, and I bugged Solel to bug the other mods to let me play and beat the Azdgari and Zidagar up.

Strroka Fighter stats (Res-edit):
Shields: 180
Armor: 150
Accel: 810
Speed: 425
Maneuver: 6 (180 degrees per sec)
Shield recharge: 50
Max guns: 5
Max turrets: 0
Weapons:
3 Neutron cannons
2 Phase cannons

Borb station upgrade:
New production:
10 Strroka Fighters
2 VICruisers
Time to completion 7 days?

Solel you said previously that this was acceptable, here are my Strroka Carrier stats:
Strroka Carrier :frown:Res-edit terms)
Shields: 1000 (Less than UE Cruiser, applicable since I now have Crescent technology)
Armor: 2000 (Less than 1/2 VCruiser)
Speed: 200
Acceleration: 300
Maneuver: 3 (90 degrees per second)
Shield recharge: 50

Weapons:
12 carried Strroka Fighters
4 Phase turrets

The entire point of this ship is as a docking station and a method to carry Strroka fighters. It can't fight it has little armor and shields, but it is fast enough to run from anything but UE Fighters.

"Paranoia is Life"

"The fleet of 8 Crescent Warships form a semicircle, and speed toward the pack of Azdgari warships. They launch SAD's, rocking the first AW back and forth, before strafing them. Azdaras and CF's try to aid their swarship, but they are simply incinerate by the fire between the battling warships. The CW's use the element of surpise to their side and surround the AW, not allowing them to use their speed. The Renegade warships concentrate on the already-damaged Azdgari warship, and as it takes more damage, it tries to escape to between it's fellow warships- with catastrophic results, when it's shields finally rupture and it explodes, it damages the shields of the Azdgari around it."

I do not have a problem with you taking out one of my packs of Azdgari warships however I would just like you to realize that you need to factor in my new technology that you may not be aware of:
1.A very, very advanced ECM system that effectively jams turrets 85% of the time and jams all homing missiles 90% of the time.
2.A shield generator that is installed in all but my G1 Azdaras, it is not as good as the experimental shield generator but it still provides very nice shield recharge rates.

so saying that somehow these SADs caused a massive turn in this specific skermish is innacurate. So in theory for every 10 SAds fired 1 would get through.

RMA: "Azdgari Fleet:Who knows, it aint listed anywhere." yup it was on the second page. It was 2 days old though so I have posted another below for your view pleasure.

Question for Sole and Kauthor: Is Gadzair off limits to all ships? IE are fleets not able to jump into the system.

Ships and fleets are allowed in Gadzair, but not the strands. It is holy ground to the strands.

------------------

I don't question you, kauthor, but where did you find that out? I don't remember reading it in any mission strings. I'm just curious.

-Everyone has a photographic memory, just not everyone has film.

I think it might be a little biased from RedChigh. I will look into it.

2 Jumps per RTD: UE, Human Renegades, Voinian Fighters
1 Jump per RTD: Voinian Cruisers and Frigates, Emalgha"

I just realized this. Where to the Igadzra warships fall in there. Sorry if I just didn't read a post where you mentioned that. Yes it is important.

A couple things.

RMA, you normally do a very decent job of describing what your production/research is all about, but you seem to have made no description for your "shipyard expansion" project at all. I'm curious as to how many ships it'll be making.

The Strand War has been going on for centuries, as I understand it. During that time, millions if not billions of Igadzra, Azdgari, and Zidagar would have died because of it. The Igadzra, being a very paranoid people anyway, would have seen no reason that your elimination of the renegades acquits you of the deaths inflicted through the war. The Igadzra used their sensors to see that your systems were weakened and attacked. They waited a long time to do so—a classic Igadzra tactic. I realize that it seems unfair to you, but you could always take the lesson to heart in future webstories to guard your back.

Solel

No I agree it was perfectly leagle and a smart move; one that I was worried about when I sent my fleet out. No not unfair I just thought that I would mention that the reason for our weakness was that we were doing a favor for the galaxy.

Oh and I still want to know the anwser to my question, above.

GordonTron, get on AIM NOW! Two contrasting statements.

Don't mean to come off rude, but it is essential to whether the Rock survives or not.l

(This message has been edited by kauthor (edited 04-15-2003).)

Well, if the Igadzra didnt take advantage of their enemies weaknesses...it'd be silly.

As for the shipyard expansion...I have no idea how many more ships it will produce. I've been waiting to catch you on AIM Solel. I just started it so it was going.

All right. After consulting with some people. I've decided that GordonTron's post will stay. Hacking the Security System can deactivate the self-destruction of the Rock. So the Rock will stay intact with shipyard production

------------------

"GordonTron, get on AIM NOW! Two contrasting statements."
I do not have access to AIM right now. The rock was not destroyed and the allies took it. The ship counts are up to everybody to decide I just thought the battle needed to be moved along. If you really need to talk to me not on this board, go to (url="http://"http://pub40.ezboard.com/fevoverridediscussionareafrm4")http://pub40.ezboard...cussionareafrm4(/url) in the next 10 minutes.

Oh was the problem the hacking into the computer systems. I just thought I would let Seleria use her skills if she wanted to. If there is some problem I am always happy to edit my post if you change your mind.

Kauthor I only have a few more minutes.-Ok sorry time is up.
I still want to know the anwser to my question about how fast Iggy warships are,jumpwise (above, about 7 posts).

Well, going by the rules, 3 jumps. If you go by resedit, 2 jumps. But if you go by resedit, almost everyones ships go slower. And if it's changed to 2, it's been changed after the fact, and will only effect stuff afterwards.

Okay, you have got to love the sheer bloody gal of both the people I'm attacking not even responding to my attacks when they post. Xenocide increased his fleet in vastan by almost 3 times, without actually saying anything.

Excuse me if I now rip both of these people a new ******* . They posted, and now the battle continues with me beating the sh*t out of them. I hate people who try things like this. Hate.
