Okay, here are the fleet numbers for RMA and Luke.
Luke: 24 Frigates 14 Condors 4 Warbirds + Carried Fighters 48 Mantas
(Edit)Ooops, I just realized that Luke has Mantas instead of Halibuts. Consider the Warbirds converted to carry Mantas.(/Edit) RMA: 1 Pirate Flaghsip + Carried Fighters 6 Pirate Carriers + Carried Fighters 24 Halibuts

I was wondering if a postion in this webstory could be opened, either a player or a impartial moderator (a small position if I can). Sorry for my grammer and spelling I am in a hurry.

This is all the stuff i have now:
All right my government is first:
Pelagon Union
Basically it's composed of the following: Pelagon: Opal Jadzia: New Bavaria, an armory/refuelling station: Jadzia Station (OK?) Sirgil: Sirgil Regulus: Regulus Prime (renamed to whatever it is now later)
Each system has a government much like states in America. All governed by a capital on Opal. When the story starts, there will be a rebellion on Sirgil that I will be contending with. (typical infighting humans)
Fleet:
35% Halibut light fighers 25% Rapier Missleboats 15% Bear-class carriers 15% Condor Catamarans 5% Supertankers 4% Federally owned freighters 1% Warbird Cruisers
Of the main fleet, I would like to have 3 sub-fleets:
Protector fleet, Jadzia. 75% of all Halibuts. Flagship: "SS Anglo-Saxon", Bear class carrier. Reunifier fleet, Sirgil. 50% of all Condor, Bear, and Warbirds, 40% of all Rapier Flagship: "SS Iris" Warbird class cruiser Reserve fleet, Regulus Prime. Remainder of all ships here. No flagship.
Note on flagships: I am using flagships just to add another dimension to battles: if the flagship is destroyed, the remaining ships will have less will to fight, etc.
On Halibuts: They are really weak here. We should at least give them some missiles (Mark 1 missles, mind you). Otherwise it would just be a smaller version of the shuttle.
------------------ what's this? i was just fighting a 'fed cruiser in Tau Ceti and now what the hell happened? i'm in this "Eltor" System... damn wormholes
We need to get this started soon.
First of all, Im thingking of upgradeing the Missles MKI to MKII with a thermal nukelear warhead (small mind you). Ill post the stats whenever the story starts.
second: I would like to have the Spica system and the Kathoon system.

My flagship will be the Mad Wolf, an upgraded Frigate.
Mad Wolf Speed: 160 AU/h Accel: 160 Turn: 65°/sec Shields: 400u Charge: 0.50u/sec Armor: 100u Guns: 6 (max) Turrets: 3 (max) Space: 0 tons Cargo: 30 tons Fuel: 600u (6) Length: 80m Mass: 360 tons Crew: 230
Weapons: 3 Laser Turrets, 6 Laser Cannons, 2 Missile Racks + 20 Missiles, 1 Rocket Launcher + 4 Heavy Rockets, Manta Bay + 10 Mantas
Ipvicus, could I also have a couple of supertankers?

Ambassador Mike: Great job on the description, everything there looks good. Don't worry about including those freighters in your fleet percentages, everyone is getting independant freighters in addition to their fleets and you can take any federally chartered ones out of them.
Mike's fleet:
1 Warbird 8 "Bear" Carriers 9 "Condor" Catamarans 24 Rapier Missileboats 36 Halibut light fighters
Unreal: Sorry you can't have those systems. I gave them to Kylethekender along with two others week before last. Also, I don't think your little independant fleet would have the recources or technical know-how to refit missiles with nukes, you'll have to work something out with the bigger govs if you want nukes.
Luke: Flagship approved with the exception of the 10 Mantas and the shielding/armour... better cut that to four, and 320/75u of shielding and armour. And yes, you can have some Supertankers. All of the big govs with have at least a couple included in the freighters I give them.
(This message has been edited by Vice Admiral Ipvicus (edited 05-12-2003).)
Thanks Ipvicus. I hope we can get started soon!
These are the individual fleet numbers:
27 Halibut, 1 Bear carrier* in Protector fleet 1 Warbird*, 4 Condor, 4 Bear carrier, 12 Rapier mslbt. in Reunifier fleet. 2 Bear, 5 Condor, 9 Halibut, 13 Rapier mslbt. and anything else in Reserve fleet
Here, if you say it's fine, are the standings of the Sirgil rebellion:
The remaining 2 Bear carriers, with included fighters, have been captured after a mob stormed a federal warship hangar on Sirgil, and soon after started terrorizing weak ships in the system.
SO
2 Bear carriers, with extra laser turrets from scrapped Halibuts. / Included fighters(10 Halibut light fighters)
This is not a traditional war because we don't want to destroy their ships, just disable, which is tough with these "uncivilized" weapons in use at the time.
As soon as we start the story, there will be a major strike happening above Sirgil, my SS Iris leading a very large battle group in for an attack on the SS Hephaestus, one of our former Bears.

After some discussion with ipvicus, some revised Pirate ship stats. Bear in mind the rest of my capabilities, and the flagship isnt overpowered.
Pirate Flagship
Stats modified up, making it the one and only cruiser about to begin with.
Shield: 600u Charge: 1.16 Armour: 160u Speed: 200 AU/h Accel: 160 Turn: 60°/sec Guns: 4 Turrets: 4 Fuel: 700 Length: 190 meters Mass: 380 tons Crew: 412
Standard weapons: 4 Laser Turrets 4 Laser Cannons 2 Missile Racks & 28 Missiles 6 Halibuts 1 Antimatter Torp Launcher & 8 Torps
Pirate Carrier
Speed and accell improved slightly so it stands a chance of escaping a Warbird.
Speed: 240 AU/h Accel: 180 Turn: 60°/sec Shields: 40u Charge: 0.35u/sec Armour: 30u Guns: 1 (max) Turrets: 2 (max) Space: 10 tons Cargo: 30 tons Fuel: 500u (5) Length: 160m Mass: 240 tons Crew: 18 + 25 Boarders
2 Laser Turrets 6 Halibuts
------------------ If someone makes a mistake, it is not my fault. I will however use it to my advantage.

This is going to be confusing for me, seeing as I normally use Greek mythological names for ships. Oh well. I'll suffer and try to remember.
Ipvicus, I'll try to have an initial post up tomorrow, where I'll focus on developing my main characters for the future posts.

And now, very late in the organizational phase, is my version of the Halibut. It shouldn't be anything that anyone has any problems with, at least I hope because I don't want any delay of the story.
Aerostar-Astrotech Space Industries F-37A Halibut light fighter Falcon Model. Speed: 400 Accel: Very Good Turn: Very Good Shields: 15 Armor: 0.75 Max Guns: 3 Max Turrets: 1 Space: 18 Cargo: 0 Fuel: 2 jumps Mass: 9 Crew: 2 (pilot and gunner) Standard Weapons: 2 Swivel Laser Turrets 1 Mk. I missle rack + 5 Mk. I missiles
Notes: This is just a version of the Halibut that is specially designed for the Pelagon Union Navy. It sports increased speed and armor, and has a ventrally mounted laser turret. It also has a missile rack capable of arming and firing Mark 1 missiles. An extra crew member is needed for operating the weapon system.
Don't worry, solel. I'll take your place, I have plenty of mythology names, not only greek.
------------------ Onward to battle!

Alright, RMA... the recharge on that Flagship is way excessive, it's double that of the most advanced warship in modern EV. Cut it to .6u/sec.

Oh, ok thats fine with me. I was just wondering if they were open.

Thats what i was planing on doing.
Alright. The information that I have come up with so far is rather basic, and apologies to Ipvicus for a bit of procrastination on my part.
Also, a note on the stats for ships; I'm a bit out of the loop on the tech level, so I tried my best to guess. Basically, my ships aren't supposed to be god-like, but not pieces of crud either. I've included basic descriptions of the weapons.
I hope this is satisfactory for the time being. Will post more tomorrow or later today.
The Nemesis Federation
Government System: Prime Minister functions as leader of government, combined with a multi-party parliment. Similar to that of the United States, with the exception of being more strict in many areas, including considerably longer terms for prime minister and other positions.
---------
Territory:
The Nemesis Federation controls two other systems in addition to its capitol, Nemesis. Topaz is the larger of the two, but both are important in different ways to the economy of the Federation as a whole.
Nemesis System Darkstar - Capitol
Research Facility Shipyard
Topaz System Emerald
Research Facility Agricultural Center
Virgo System Virgo
Agricultural Center
Federation Navy
Because of the sometimes rather small shipyards availible, the Federation has invested heavily in fighters and frigates. The Phalanx Frigate is the backbone of their navy, while the Pilum provides a powerful fighter force. In recent months, the Federation has invested in the "Praetorian" Elite Destroyer. Basically a rather powerful version of the Frigate, the Federation designed it as not to bother with constructing larger warships.
?Praetorian?-class Elite Destroyer Shields: 175 Armor: 50 Regeneration: 95 Speed: Good Maneuverability: Very Good Acceleration: Above Average Weaponry: 3 Neutron Laser Turrets 2 Pilum Rocket Turrets + 60 Ammo 2 Glaive Heavy Rocket Launchers + 4 Ammo
?Phalanx?-class Escort Frigate Shields: 150 Armor: 30 Regeneration: 150 Speed: Above Average Maneuverability: Good Acceleration: Above Average Weaponry: 2 Neutron Laser Turrets 4 Pilum Rocket Launchers + 80 Ammo 1 Glaive Heavy Rocket Launcher + 2 Ammo
?Javelin?-class Combat Fighter Shields: 50 Armor: 5 Regeneration: 50 Speed: Excellent Maneuverability: Excellent Acceleration: Very good Weaponry: 4 Neutron Laser Cannons
Federation Weaponry
Glaive Heavy Rocket A rather large rocket, similar to the Heavy Rocket, except with more of a punch. Rather large antimatter warhead.
Pilum Rockets The basic secondary weapon. Sort of like a very beefed up Javelin Rocket.
Neutron Laser Turret Errr.... it's a laser. A fairly nasty laser. And, unlike the lasers you are used to from EV, these are beams, not pulses. About equal damage to armor and shields.
Neutron Laser Cannon Same as the Laser Turret, except with slower reload.
------------------ Those who would ignore reality are doomed by it. -------------- Millennium has arrived. See it at the (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number;=20&SUBMIT;=Go")EV Chronicles(/url)
Okay, that looks good Carno. I'll need a bit more solid info on the weapons, and I have a few questions about the fighter, but aside from that it looks good.
I believe these stats will be fairly good, although they may need to be toned down for the lower tech level of this webstory. All stats and such were taken directly as if they were from EV-Edit. The beam thingy is rather complicated though...
And what questions did you have about the fighter?
Neutron Laser Cannon/Turret Reload: 1 Count: 2 Speed: 14000 Inaccuracy: 1 Impact: 0 Prox. Radius: 3 Blast Radius: 0 Mass Damage: 2 Energy Damage: 2
Pilum Rocket Reload: 13 Count: 115 Speed: 780 Inaccuracy: 4 Impact: 20 Prox. Radius: 12 Blast Radius: 14 Mass Damage: 20 Energy Damage: 10
Glaive Heavy Rocket Reload: 150 Count: 225 Speed: 725 Inaccuracy: 0 Impact: 250 Prox. Radius: 20 Blast Radius: 35 Mass Damage: 250 Energy Damage: 125
Beware the Aquatic Alien Totalitarian Military.
Is anybody working on a map?
Ambassador Mike, I think 20 missiles are a bit much for a Halibut.
Carno, I don't know about those designs... Personally, I think we should've just stuck with basic EV ships and a few GS ships. When people start coming up with their own tech, they can exaggerate how good it is and get away with it far too often.
Ipvicus, for what would be the most powerful human government, my fleet is starting to look more and more pathetic. Couldn't you let me have a few more Frigates and/or Warbirds? I understand that what you say goes, but I've been stuck in too many webstories that ended up remarkably sh*tty to see what's going on here and not get a little nervous. You want this to be the best webstory since BfSIII? Then you're right on track. Want this to be the best webstory since BfS? Watch out...
/semi-rant
Yes. Ipvicus made one: (url="http://"http://members.aol.com/matrekie/great_war.htm")http://members.aol.c...e/great_war.htm(/url)
Yes, I agree now that i think about it. new value: 5 missiles.
Yes, I agree again. I have 1 unique ship, and that's it. With 3 unique ships, you could make stuff up as you go because no one else knows about it.
Yeah, when is this starting? ipvicus said Monday or Tuesday..it's now Wednesday.
And while all my ship designs arent standard, 2 of them are based off of the base ships. Halibut with only minor upgrades. Carrier is very different, but it aint that great, and I need luxury liners to build more. And I cant build anymore ships like my flagship.
