So do you want to be with the aliens now instead of the Human Confederation? If you do, there will be more alien fleet commanders than Human Confederation commanders, which wouldn't be good news...

Wow. This looks super-cool; I'm in.

I'll start off as a Human Confederation guy, to even the odds a bit. I notice there aren't any Pirates yet, though. If the trend continues, I would be willing to switch and be President/CEO of Ship Building for the Pirates instead of a rank-and-file HC person, if no one else wants to do that.

Right now, however.....

Map Initials: UE

Government: Human Confederation (Fleet Commander)

Starting System: Antares

Fleet:

1 Carrier
5 SuperCruisers
12 BattleCruisers
20 Cruisers
12 Ospreys
20 Destroyer M5's
15 Frigates
15 Destroyers
60 Mantas
40 Star Cobras

Did you ever get beyond 1st grade? The total is 101 craft.

45 + 1 = 46

46 + 5 = 51

51 + 50 = 101

Map updated. UE Crusader's fleet now seen in the Antares system. Funny thing is, the Human Confederation fleets seem to be forming a ring...

Thanks for joining is, UE Crusader!

I was just examining the pirate ships, and realized how weak they are in comparison to the alien/human ships. One of the main changes I was think of is giving the SuperKestrel amazing manueverability. That would equalize its low shields. Also upgrading the kestrel to modified class D specifications. Here are the updated stats-

Ship Name: Atinoda Kestrel-D
Cost: 10.00 million credits

Speed: 225
Accel: Average
Turn: Average
Shields: 400
Armor: 200
Guns: Maximum of 6
Turrets: Maximum of 4
Space: 0 tons
Cargo: 80 tons
Fuel: 7 jumps
Length: 80 m
Mass: 230 tons
Crew: 196

Standard weapons:
2 Torpedo Launcher + 50 Torpedos
2 Missile Racks + 10 Missiles
4 Proton Turrets
2 Lightning Fighters-Bombers
1 Flare Rack + 50 Flares
1 Missile Jammer

Sure, read the rules, pick a side, and tell us your starting fleet. I recommend pirates, we need a feew.

Looks like Skyblade's EVO post is working 🙂

grunadulater posts here occasionally, but the EVO board is almost certainly where UE Patriot came from. 🙂

I don't think you can modify your personal ship or really have one per se, that would make things a bit too complicated. If we can Skyblade, let me know, I'll be happy to modify mine. 🙂

ok the post that now hos my fleet has been changed, the would even has been replaced with the word except. does that make u Happy?

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

Hey!
Can I join this thing?
I know there are a lot of Alien commanders,but they're so –cool–!
I'd like to be commander of an Alien scouting fleet if that's OK-I'd enter the known galaxy early with a small fleet for hit & run attacks(my favourite kind).

Anyway,here's stats:
Govt:Alien
Initials: SH
Fleet:15 Alien Cruisers+4 fighters carried
30 Alien Fighters
Total: 49

Hey thanks, Skyblade, but I'd rather not. See, I'm in Germany and when it's your afternoon where all the heavy posting happens, it's like two in the morning here, so I will most likely not be able to follow anything on time. The alien shipbuilder's job after all still interests me 🙂

BTW: what happened to Map and Shipyards? Are you just updating it or what? I can't get it

My dad needs the webspace I had my graphics on, so I let him delete the graphics for his own work. I've sent Carno an e-mail requesting some temporary webspace, so I may have the graphics back on the web soon (with different URLs, of course).

Also, I've completed the weapon's pages for the three major governments.

Hey Skyblade, I've got 10 new megs of web space that isn't doing much right now, if that would be simpler for you.
