Then why stand it? You started the webstory. You have authority in this whole thing. It's just stupid to not allow upgrading of your ships. That's the main thing that EV is all about! Geez...

I believe Captain Skyblade has transferred that organisational power over to Macavenger. In addition, I believe the reason for the no-upgrades rule is that it was found in the previous web stories that it was hard enough to keep track of the multi-fleet battles that occurred without having to worry about the upgrades on each individual ship.

Of course we want to hear! What did you do? I threw my bike off a second story balcony once. Got grounded for four weeks, the handle bar bent, and I didn't get a new bike for a half year.
Back on topic: Welcome back!

I'm not sure a Navy is allowed to have two fleet admirals, and I do believe our respected tactician Fleet Admiral Rak would be a bit disappointed if he were to lose his job.
So how bout it Mac, perhaps might we be allowed a modified flagship? This would give the term flagship some meaning.
So with Carnotaur, we should have 6 HC commanders? How many might the other governments have, and how many Moose friends are actually going to play in this?

I didn't think upgrading flagships was even something anyone wanted, I think we had all of one in BfS II, which never got involved in any fights. I suppose we can have somewhat upgraded flagships, with extra weapons and possibly slightly better shielding for example. I don't think that'll make a big impact. Hmm, does it actually say in the rules sheet that you can't have upgraded flagships? If it does, I guess I'll have to change that. Though Carno, yo should probably still redo your fleet, because our limit on fleets is a 600 million credit price tag. I don't know what kind of limits you guys have on the EVO stories, but that's ours. Of course, you'll get more ships.
As for the Fleet Admiral question, I have no problem with having multiple fleet admirals, but the slots we do have are basically full. We have two main theatres of war, and each already has one (Rak and myself).
JChuck - Nice to see you again, I'd pretty much given up. How often do you think you'll be able to be here? Once a day or two at least would be good.
As for 6 players - doubtful. I don't think Corey is around enough anymore. If we do, I'll try to make sure the Aliens have 6 also.

Ugh... Why not have upgraded flagships?? Geez! I only wanted it because my personal ship isn't very big, so I wanted to make sure that I would actually survive a battle.

If you read it more carefully, I decided to allow upgraded flagships. Just don't be insane about it (spl_cadet, yes, this does apply to you also... ).

Lack of players???? COUGH This story has a ton of players!! In fact, it almost has too many! Start the story!!! : )
I would note, however, than anyone here interesting in EVO might also considering joining my webstory; Golden Horizon. I could really use some new players, especially since a lot of them have recently left. :frown: Contact me on AIM or via e-mail.
Can we customize our flagships at the start of the story or do we have to do it now? I would prefer when the story begins because I want to put our page 1 weapon on it.

Yeah, but our balance is lacking. I think we're at 4 Pirates, 5 HC, 3 (maybe 4-5) Alien, and 3 (maybe 4) Dreden. We need about a 4-5-5-4 or 4-6-6-4 balnce, because the HC and Aliens have to fight two front battles. The Aliens the big problem, we can never get enough of them. You could check and see if anyone over at EVO wants to become one...
I could look into Golden Horizons sometime soon. You could give me a little backstory or something when you reply to that email I just sent you. <hint>

I'm thinking more along the lines of informal customization, to keep this from becoming too number oriented, it's already borderline. Just do it now. You probably won't be able to on page 1 anyway.

So it is more of a extra turrets and missiles/launchers customization than a 20 turrets, and 30 LRBM launchers with 80 LRBM's? I should have the customization up by tomorrow afternoon, maybe evening.

Correct. I'd say my Intrepid-class would have slightly stronger shields and armor, some extra ammunition, a few extra Particle Beam Turrets, and some HALO Missile batteries.
Way to go, Carno! While we did have an understanding that each fleet leader would personally survive all battles ... KK's Drake flagship has just been upgraded!
(Thought about adding 4 Buster Cannons, but Mac would have a coronary. :))
. . . .Was . . . . . . . . . Now . . . . 1.2k Shielding . . . . . . . 2.5k 500 Armor . . . . . . . . . . . 1k 9 Tri-Photon Turrets . . . 12 3 LRBM Launchers . . . . . 5 20 LRBMs . . . . . . . . . . . .50
Note that my upgrades are subject to change, depending on how crazy the rest of you get.

Heh, the aliens are not going to be pleased with my already-powerful flagship.
Statistics for the "Liberty" class Dreden Battlecarrier:
--was------now-- Shields: 30,000 - 35,000 Armor: 30,000 - 35,000 Speed: 100 - 150 Acceleration: • - •• Turning: •• Fuel: 100 Jumps 500 Plasma Beam Turrets - 750 Plasma Beam Turrets 100 Turreted Plasma Torpedo Launchers - Make that 150 2,000 Plasma Torpedoes - 2,500 2 Neutron Trinity Cannons - an additional one added, this time turreted.
If it weren't for the restrictions on the buster cannon I would add one but... Shields:30,000 Armor: 20,000 Speed: 150 Acceleration: •• Turning: •• 300 tri-photon becomes 350 tri-photon. 100 LRBM launchers become 200 LRBM launchers with 1,500 more LRBM's. (edit) These are simply the changes. The stuff that I didn't mention, like HNR's, is the same as on a regular Macross. ------------------ (url="http://"http://members.home.net/e-gamerguy1/ev/bfs3/")BFSIII Homepage(/url) (url="http://"http://www.seacadets.org")U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps(/url) (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/valley_forge_squadron")HOORAH!(/url) "Death.
