I also need to know your starting location...Refer to the map and simply pick a red system if you like.

Mac- I noticed that the "Human Confederation Weapons" page is somewhat distorted, or "squished." Did you resize it?

Boy, I sure don't know how, I didn't edit any of your html. That's a bit odd, maybe I'll re-upload it a bit later.

what if some of your ships in your fleet have larger fuel tanks than others.ex:
superkestrel has 6 jumps while rapier has 4 jumps.could you only go four jumps?

I bet there darn tasty to.

Correct. This has its downsides, but it is realistic. However, if you have capital ships that can carry all of your fighters, you may jump as far as the capital ship's fuel range will allow. And then again, you can split your fleet up if you like, and leave the ships with less fuel capacity behind, or you could move slowly as a whole. It all depends on your military style.

Mac- Yes, it certainly is strange. Not that big of a deal, but it kinda looks weird with a beard (sorry. I say that all the time. ;)). Uploading the image again might fix the problem.

Ok Episode II members. Has everyone that will have visable fleets been put on the map? All the aliens currently aren't visable (intentional), and one pirate fleet isn't visable (intentional). I don't yet know of Kap'n Karl's starting location, however...

Well, looks like somehow the html got set to display it at height 866. I reset it to 1016 and uploaded the corrected page, seems to work fine now. No clue what happened; it looked right when you first sent it to me. Quite odd.

So, do you mind my developing a home page for it, to go with your shipyards and stuff?

Can i make a move to attack ncg-1707?

I say what occurs to me to say when I think I hear people say things, more I cannot say.

No, the story hasn't started yet. You can, however, repost your fleet. It needs to be under 200 ships total.

I hope so. My %@$!&#

Also, I forgot to mention an important rule about ship manufacture and distribution. Once ships have been bought and built (happens once in each topic page), they can only be placed at friendly worlds. If some Human Confederation fleet is way off in alien space, the leader of the HC can't just give him some of the ships he bought and built. The fleets must be based at a friendly world in order to receive additional ships. If a fleet is not in range yet ships are awaiting to stock the fleet, it will simply be placed at the nearest world and can either wait for the fleet to come by, or make its own way toward the fleet. These reinforcement fleets remain in the leader's command until they join the fleet they wish to replenish. Does this make sense?

Also, "reinforcement" fleets will be labeled on the map as RF.

If Sattomax can't make your graphics, I'll do them for you.

Skyblade, another suggestion, maybe you should edit your first post with the new urls so as not to confuse potential new players.

Thanks, Mac...I'll follow through with your suggestions.

So does everyone have the basic idea of this entire string of rules down?

I do, but are we going to wait for KK to get back with his fleet and grunadulater to assign ranks, or just go?

Well, we should probably wait...Kap'n Karl really needs to pick his fleet in order for us to begin, but grunadulater has already assigned ranks. Sattomax is a four star Pirate Fleet Commander.

(additional note- Once Episode II gets started, I will probably only send Mac updated versions of the map one to maybe three times a day, so don't be surprised if your fleet shows up on the map where you were seven posts ago. :))

Heh, you think it will move that fast, do you? Well, I'm never on more than 3 or 4 times a day at most, so that'll have to be enough. 😉
