BFSIII Discussion part 2

Hmmm....I just looked at the speed of my fleet, and I'm pretty sure that it can travel less distance than any other fleet. Would it be possible to make some (ahem) modifications to my fleet?

Hi, I want to join... but I don't want to upset Mac's perfect, 4-5-5-4 balance. Is this OK?
P.S. I'm another one of Mr. Moose's friends.(He's helping me.)

Ok, I think it works:
Battlecruisers: 2
Battlegunships: 10
Cruisers: 10
Destroyers: 15
Gunships: 20
Heavy fighters: 20
Light fighters: 20
Interceptors: 20
Home planet: uh... Riven
CS or mac, what does that come out to?
500 posts.

Hey, it was my idea... (RC snaps fingers, and 3o armed guardcs appear) Uh, I mean, it's your idea, your highness! All yours! 😉

Thanx Mac. If you want to put a limit to "one customization," then I'd rather have the "29th Blue Grade Infrantry" instead of the "Crimson Fury".

Jimbob, you're 46 million over the limit. Going from the top down, the Gunships hit 600 million on the nose, so if you want to just drop the fighters, that would be fine.

Ace, I wouldn't mind some changes to your fleet, but to get it over 4 Jumps, you'll have to either drop all the fighters or get a Battlecarrier, they're what's slowing you down. You're fleet isn't the slowest; KK and Asriel in the Milky Way can only go three jumps without refueling. So they basically have to land in a Pirate system each post, unless they go less than full range.

We were also intending at one point to give the Aliens some kind of advanced tech bonus on their hyperdrives. Perhaps we should let the Aliens and Dreden go 4 jumps per post instead of three to incorporate that? (Dreden because they use a lot of Alien tech.) Also, using a Jumpgate doesn't cost you a fuel point, but you can't leave the Jumpgate system in the same post. Ok?

If JChuck doesn't show up today, you can take over for him. You can rebuild his fleet and stuff if you want (Moose built JChuck's anyway...)

Dragon - No, I'm only customizing certain areas. You can call your 29th fleet whatever you want in the story, but on the map it's just 29th fleet.

Mac, just out of curiosity about how much time has elapsed between BFS II and III? I seem to remember "two years" but I cannot be confident....

(Edit) I mean in "story time;" not IRL. (It only "seems" like two years IRL... ;)(/Edit)

OK. But the crimson Rge wasn't my flagship. It was one of the 3 Batlecruisers. If you could just make it, "3 Battlecruisers, Aurora 's 1-3," I'd be grateful. The Carrier is just to "carry" all those litlte fighters.

6 months was postulated at one time, I think.

Er, That would be really confusing, so I doubt it. Which particular battlecruiser is the flagship? Aurora 1? I might be able to do it if that's the case...

Just pray that "all those little fighters" never run into an HC task force. 😉

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I'll probably drop all of my fighters and buy more gunboats, or maybe even another Battle Cruiser :)<-----really evil grin. I'll get the results in soon.

Not another Battlecruiser. I already bent the 200 million per ship type rule for your three, but I'm not bending it far enough to give you a fourth.

hey! im really sorry to have to do this but i think i have to drop out. swimming and debate are going to take up nearly all my free time for the next to weeks so i wont be a reliable player. if possible someone should replace me. otherwise ill do my best, but im not sure how much that'll be.

have fun with the game.

------------------
im bouyant. love me.

We have not heard from JChuck, who will not be able to respond frequently, and now Saint+ drops out. We have to get new players... and fast! Someone post a recruiting topic, with lots of links and spiffy stories. Newbie or not, we need backup. RC can pick the best ones for the job.

Well, I guess we'll stick t2cool31 in with the Aliens in Saint+'s place then. Welcome aboard, man.

If JChuck doesn't drop by today, I'll get in touch with my friend who may want to join. I may also need to email ElG7...

"Little House on the Prairie"??? Try "Golden Compass," and the rest of the His Dark Materials series. For that mistake, I oughta demote you to Chieftain. I'm nice, though, so I won't. 😛 😉 😄

Oh, and I like the idea of an Alien-Pirate alliance, of course.

Nice fleet you've got there. We'll need a Warfleet with those capital ship numbers...

Wouldn't you have to submit this type of thing in the game? Meaning sneaking an envoy all the way across our space, through a heavily guarded jump gate and getting it to the Aliens without first being destroyed by us, or by the unknowing Aliens?

Note: This is not the official position of my government, just an Admiral who has enough to deal with already.

Skyblade, can you give me ranks for all the Dreden? And have you emailed UE Crusader yet?
