BFSIII Discussion part 2

Webstory experience? Nope...I did some stuff in "Tell-a-Story" once upon a time...

And I wrote Darkest Hour, and Brightest Dawn (In progress.)

OK?

That's fine. Could you revise your fleet now? (See earlier post about too many Destroyers)

A wonderful television series and a wondeful book, try reading "D-Day" by the same author after your done, its also quite good.

Hmm... I hope we can get those people to show up... oh, and Mac, you keep hinting that you think you can get someone if we really need them in a hurry, why not just bring them in anyways? Or will this upset the precarious balance of the story?

I'm holding out for a bit to see if everyone materializes. I heard from Corey today, now I'm mostly waiting on JChuck, see if he shows up or not. I don't wind to wind up with a 4-5-5-4 balance and then suddenly have an extra player to add to the mix...

Yeah, I've heard the HBO mini-series is excellent. Haven't seen it...

I've read "D-Day" exactly six times now, and "Citizen Soldiers" (which I believe is Ambrose's best) seven. I actually bought "Band of Brothers" for my brother's 19th birthday, and I believe I read it more then he does. 😉

Mac: Do you happen to have my old ranking system on your hard drive somewhere, or do I need to re-post it?

I hope that he does. His mom won't let him be on all the time, unlike most of us. I should tell him tomarrow that he has to get on. Crap! We didn't start today. I tell him we're waiting on him.

We're waiting on a little more than just him. I still need a revised fleet from ElG7, a fleet from Cyber-Dragon, and fleets from Jimbob and UE Crusader (any of those mentioned who read this, get with it 😉 ). Oh, and a fleet from Corey, but I expect that in my email sometime in the next day.

Also, I just uploaded the Pirate weapons section. Any weapons that you Pirates have invented (i.e. not Javelins of Heavy Rockets) that you don't like the graphics for, send me or post new ones.

Skyblade - I don't think I would happen to have it, no.

I'll probably make a new guided propulsion mine as that one looks more like a torp.

I think you left out the top rank, but that looks right, thanks.

(DEXTER VOICE)YES! My fleet... It is finished... (/DEXTER VOICE)

OK, as the above... um, the above... the above, uh... er... thing! Yeah, that's it, the above thing! Where was I? Kinda lost my train of thought. Oh yes. As the above thing states, my fleet is ready for battle.

BTW- I notice that, for a superior race, the alien weapons look quite pretty but in the ways of damage- they suck. Royally. The HC are have a balanced system, though I can imagine many HC commanders using the "20" Massdamage of the Space Bomb to their advantage... Any chance of an Alien version?

More BTW- You said anything that is not specifically posted means that it is to be used as it was in the original EV, correct? There is one that I feel I must mention, as it has the potential to be rather important. EV says-

That may or may not me completely correct, but the point remains thus: If we recall our fighters, will they be restored to full health?

JChuck just called me. He cannot use the net and wanted me to confirm his readiness for him. OK.

Fleet looks Ok. You could buy a Heavy Fighter with that last 4 million, if you want. leftover fleet money doesn't get converted to gov. funds - if it did, the HC would have a couple million from my fleet.
Say, maybe I should change that... 😉

I will need your fleet location before I can post it though. The hidden thing was a BfS II deal only.

Anyway, as for the damage ratings - if you're thinking of the beams when you say they suck, remember that beams do damage much more rapidly. Don't try to compare beams to cannons directly, the damage measurements for beams should be used to compare to each other only. As a reference, I'd put the Fusion Particle Beam at about, oh, 50 times as powerful as a single Turbolaser (very rough).

So, can he be here for awhile tomorrow? Someone really needs to fill him in on some stuff by email... could you do that Moose, since I think you're the only one with his email?

Yeah, good point. The Aliens have a heavy reliance on beamns, don't they? However, I apologize, I've never made a beam in ResEdit.

As for that extra money: Naw, I'd rather leave it at 596 mil. I appreciate the "bend" in the rules, but I don't want to be slowed down to 4 jumps before re-fueling. I'll leave it.

I know you've probably been asked this about, oh, say, 5 million times, but could you give us a tentative launch date?

Oh, and BTW, my new initials are ZT. Ment to put that in as a footnote.

It was today, but not everyone was around to post fleets over thanksgiving. As soon as I get all the fleets (that includes your fleet location) , we can start, I think.

Initials are no longer relevant. Forget it.

I just remembered, I forgot to say my flagship. It is one of the 3 battle cruisers, and is named Red Intruder.

Sorry. RC, do you still presume on sending us that little code? Cuz if so, we need to get a battle.net date, and fast. I can already see steam comin' from Mac's ears... He's gonna blow pretty soon... 😉

I've explain most of the stuff in person (OMG!!!) If you want it, but I doubt he check it often, (url="http://"mailto:chuck2473@excite.com")mailto:chuck2473@excite.com(/url)chuck2473@excite.com

I like the pirate weapons yard. Just a quick question: Can you make a "members-only" part on your webpage that only the members of the RPG would be able to see. Dont know what we would put in it though.. Anyways I hope everyone is having a nice week because I have Tommorow off from work. hehe.
