BFSIII Discussion

Okay, CyberDragon, sorry. I did go a little ballistic. :frown: I guess the main reason was that I had just been through a bad school day and I just needed a way to release my anger and you provided it. 😉 Thanks everyone for not getting really mad at me.

Shade, that's really too bad that you won't be able to play.

About the carrier, I still haven't got any solid computer time, so it might take awhile till I finish it.

Nope, net yet. But for Azdara's sake (and a shot for me to get familiar with Strata), I've completed the Dreden Battlecarrier graphic, which I will post soon. It's the super vessel of the Dreden Navy, and so large and expensive that I doubt we'll be building more than one or two of them.

Alright folks, this is the largest and most powerful vessel in the Dreden Navy, the battlecarrier. Its large size and immense firepower strikes fear into all its foes. Years ago, alien patrols spoke of sighting a large, mighty warship under contruction in a supposedly uninhabited system, but the report was ignored. The aliens can only hope that the battlecarrier was never completed...

This is my first Strata graphic, created in about twelve minutes (and fifteen minutes of experience ;)). The texture was graciously sent to me by akria of the EV Image Gallery.

Azdara: The last graphic we'll need, the Dreden Battlecruiser, is all yours (unless you want me to do it).

Dreden Battlecarrier / "Liberty" - Statistics:
Shields: 30,000
Armor: 30,000
Speed: 100
Acceleration: *
Turning: **
Fuel: 100 Jumps (but limited to two jumps every post)
Price: 200,000,000 credits (estimate)
2575 Plasma Beam Turrets (Mac: Plasma beam turrets and plasma bolt turrets are the same thing)
1000 Turreted Plasma Torpedo Launchers
20,000 Plasma Torpedoes
2 Neutron Trinity Cannons (these things need only make one hit to destory large, capital warships)
2 general-purpose fighter bays
Up to 2000 fighters of player's choice

IS THIS FAIR!!!! That ship has 30000 shields! No way!

This ship is worth at least 300M to 400M.

Captain Skyblade, just out of curiousity, has your mom/dad been complaining about you forgetting things and being absent-minded recently? 😉 I just though that you like to know that you included the Battlecruiser graphics in the carrier graphic. 😛 😉 Hehehehe...

Wouldn't be so bad... For the Dreden Rebellion. 😉 Mac gets the final call on the price, and I'm guessing around 275/300,000,000 credits will be the final price.

No, I only forget things when millions of people are asking me to do things. 😉 Actually, I'm rather good about remembering things in real life, but certainly not online. Things get terribly confusing...

Ah, I never remember the Titan being the Battlecruiser. In that case, the Dreden ship graphics are complete. 😉 If you feel lito it, the Dreden weapons will need graphics (although I could pull some up if you like)...

Stats for the "Athena" class Battlegunship:
Shields: 2000
Armor: 2000
Speed: 200
Acceleration: ***
Turning: ***
Fuel: 6 Jumps
Price: 20,000,000 credits (estimate)
25 Plasma Beam Turrets
25 Plasma Beam Cannons
6 Plasma Torpedo Turrets
100 Plasma Torpedoes
10 Plasma "Stinger" Bolt Turrets
1000 Plasma "Stinger" Bolts

By the way Mac, I'd like to boot the shielding and armor of the Titan up to 5000 each. Feel free to increase the price to whatever is reasonable to you.

The problem will be finding the funds to purchase it. 😉 If we can set aside some credits every purchase period, and can capture enough hostile planets, building a battlecarrier will become a reality.

Sweet ship CS. Hahaha! Those aliens are gonna die!

Hi I'm from Mr. Moose's board, Can I join?

Name: JChuck
Initials: JC
Gorvernment:HC

Cool, a newbie! /Me hopes Anatole doesn't find JChuck. Anyway, I think the aliens need one more, not the HC right Mac?

I'm in a rush, but here's a new ship that is one level below a Titan Battlecruiser. It is a Poseidon class " earthshaker " Heavy Cruiser. I'm hoping to also make another Dreden fighter. Captain Skyblade, yeah, I will do the weapons. Cool Carrier graphic by the way. The Poseidon is is more "traditional" warship. It is slow, heavly shielded/armoured and lots of guns.

If you're willing to switch to the Aliens, we're more than willing to have you in.

Ok, with Shade gone, we need a new Alien Emperor. I'm going to hold off on making that call temporarily. I have a pretty good idea who it will be though.

Seems I forgot to upload the image on the Dreden Cruiser. I'll try to finish up the Dreden shipyard today, now that I pretty much have everything for it.

Thanks for the stats Skyblade. Once the shipyard gets updated, you Dreden guys can start picking out your fleets. 🙂 Only other question would be what kind of range does the Neutron Infinity Cannon have, and also what would be the biggest large capital ship it could destroy with one hit? Alien Battlecruiser? More/less?

Well, I replied to it before I checked here, but luckily it bounced again. 😛

So does this "no Mac" mean you won't be joining us at the (censored)? :frown:

Azdara: The Dreden Rebellion currently has plenty (if not too many) capital warships. Would you mind if we held off using this ship graphic for now, and after we decided to create a new ship during the webstory, used your latest graphic? As for a new fighter, that would be a good idea. We need at least one more smaller craft.

Mac: As for the Neutron Trinity Cannon, let's say it destroys 2500 shields per shot. But since the Battlecarrier has two of these cannons, it can focus them on a single alien Battlecruiser and destroy / severly damage-cripple it. Although these cannons are extrememly dangerous (and too large to mount on smaller vessels), they take some time to regenerate enough energy to fire again.

As for range, I'm thinking that of the old Confederation Patricle Beam.

It will be nice to finally start constructing our fleets. Hopefully this webstory will be underway by next week.
