As far as their fleet range will allow. Refer to the Sentarus map, view an alien fleet, and see what its jump range is. There is also a field which says how much fuel is remaining. You can jump as far as whatever number is listed. You then must stop to refuel before going on.

I thought Mac instituted a rule that said no more then 4 jumps per turn for the Dreden and Aliens, and no more then 3 for the HC and Pirates? Also, I hope you can get back to commanding your fleet KK, I've been sort of one post battling you, and now I am awaiting Asriel to command your fleet.

If you get the chance, either read up on BFS III, or alert Asriel that I'd like him to fight me when he gets the chance. No I'm not griping! Well maybe just a little. Oh yes, I also added a fleet status update to the new BFS topic if you just want to look at that and take it from there. Though the explanation for those numbers is still hidden deep within the old topic.

If there is a rule concerning jump limitations, I'm completely unaware of it...

Mac: Here's the day's update. Decided just to post it instead of going through the e-mail hastle. 😉

42nd (Jimbob) and 334th (Plute) are still stationary in the Sten system.

Vork was captured by the Dreden (I think I told you that last update), and recently Stornik. The 101st and 36th are currently positioned in the Stornik system, refueling and refitting. Fleet numbers have not changed (Stornik was taken without losses due to alien attack delay).

Add one extra destroyer to Vice Admiral Ipvicus' fleet. One of his destroyers had retreated from the Battle of Selica, and now it's back.

That's it. The aliens haven't been very active lately, and nor have the Dreden...

Is Jager allowed to build up a fleet for himself?

Hey Skyblade, don't forget to put me in the list of rebels for your webstory! Just wondering, how many players do you think would it need, and how many for each government?

Yes, but only if it's payed for using page 2's income.

Sure, I'll add you to the list. I think I might have gotten you and BariSax mixed up, putting his name on the list instead of yours. 😛

Don't know how many players we'll need, but the more there are, the funner it is.

I'll play either Rebels or Confed depending on what you need to make it balanced after people start to join.

Well, if you give me that option, then we'll definately need you to be Confederate. There are always way more Rebel players in such webstories...

Also, I'm hoping to get David Arthur in as President for the Confederation. He did a fantastic job of managing things on his own during the original BFS. He'd be good with composing good rules as well.

Could I get all the Aliens to post their fleet stats and position, or at least a list of Alien Commanders who have a fleet bigger than an Escape Pod? I know several fleets joined late, and several got smoked, but I don't know which is which and would rather not read through everything to find out...

I have Ipvicus's numbers, and I believe you're at Selica, right? As long as that's true I don't need anything from you.

Whew, quiet day... I can keep working on my updates. 🙂

Here ya go Mac, some stats: Since my fleet was destroyed in Kaujathat, I'm now commanding the 59th fleet that was Masada,

1 Carrier
2 Battlecruisers
4 Heavy Cruisers
9 Destroyers
35 Heavy Fighters
9 Interceptors

now it's in Hogen though.

Counsul grunadulater of the 15th fleet is in the Crede system:

2 Carriers
1 Battlecruiser
5 Heavy cruisers
6 Destroyers
14 Gunboats
22 Heavy fighters
31 Interceptors

Legatus Ipvicus is in Selica with the stats that skyblade had posted, plus a cruiser and a destroyer.

Jager is in the capital, Kathrii with a Stingray fighter I guess. Does that count as more than an escape pod?

/me detonates the built in destruct device on the Stingray to keep it out of enemy hands

"No" 😛

(No one try that in the story to blow all mine up, as I'm just kidding)

How'd he get ahold of a Stingray?

Are you sure you aren't just too lazy to type in coding to add a fleet composed of one fighter? 😉

Not quite sure. In a post in the old saga continues threat he captured one in kaujathat and high tailed it back to the capital i guess. But never mind that, It's HIS stingray now! 😛

That could be part of it... 😉 We'll call him "in limbo" for now.

Heh, for all the good it will do him. I doubt you tentacled weirdos will be able to operate the controls (ergonomicly designed for typical HC pilots) very well. 😉

In case anyone is wondering, It was fairly well established in BfS II (I think) that the liens have a turtle-ish body, with 8 tentacles instead of arms and four legs. Think Octopus meets turtle. 😉

Kender: Don't drag the 59th too close to the combined Dreden fleets, or matters might be worse than that of Verdica. 😉 36th and 101st = extreme danger. Heh.

2 pages of effort and you only ended up with a stingray? Come on Jager, if you wanted a fleet, you could have taken more than that! (assuming you can fly more than one ship at a time that is) 🙂

At least we're a normal pink, not some funky translucent/glow-in-the-dark red... 😛

Anyone have Rak's fleet numbers handy? I could track those down fairly easily, but if someone already has them handy...
