ENES: Abandoned Stars

[Niklas]

Nice update Erik, can't wait to see the rest.

What about my basic genetics research?

There was no basic genetics to research, didn't you check the description of available tech? I would guess that's where all your banked PP comes from. Or put in the words of the one behind the strings:

One moment while I reserve a post for the rest and a post for the tech tree since so many people couldn't handle descriptive tech.

Too bad Erik, I thought it was fun. Maybe next time eh?

I do have a few of questions myself though:

• Does Major Specialization (aka labor division) only grant you a one time boost to current production? Seems rather strange considering what you would expect of its effects, but then again, who expects realism anyway?
• What does it mean for a system to be HOSTILE (possibly mildly so)? Can you settle anyway and suffer some negative effects (and in that case what are they?), or do you need to get rid of the cause of hostility before settling?

I read the description post like 3 times. I did not require grafts and prostehtics, or pathogen counters. What the hell could I research else? How should I know what do I posses? Healthcare systems, Prozac? I seem to fail to understand what these descriptive techs thing that Eric wanted us to do. Apologies for sheer stupidty on my part.

Lord Bob! My arch-nemesis has returned!

There's something absolutely hilarious about that.

Nice update, though a map would be handy. Also... can stats and rules just be posted on the front page? Seeing them at each individual update is... weird, and makes hunting everything down irritating. Links to individual updates would be good too. Now, for irritated questions.

 

[Kozmos]

I also object on using a predefined tech tree we have to follow. They should be like a great pirate once said 'they are more of a guidelines then rules'

 

[alex994]

I agree with symphony on all of his points, though I'm sure you will address that soon erik

Boxed in *mumbles*

 

[Silver Steak]

Will there be a complete map showing all of us in correlation, or will that be impossible? I was under the impression that you already had a map, and were placing our homeworlds on it?

TO: Mobius Roverius
FROM: Commonwealth of Interstellar Domains
Greetings and well met, fellow survivors. We are the Commonwealth; our intentions are peaceful. Our capitol is Sol and give notice that the Imperial Republic is gone. We are interested in establishing cordial relations. To this end, we would like to notify you that transit within the Errai system, bordering Haskell, is dangerous as the system is littered with various automated defenses which we are preparing to sweep. We would like, if possible, to send a single Scout vessel through Haskell to attempt to make contact with other survivors of the Vanishing; if you would like, we can agree not to send military vessels past Errai.

Also, if you were to provide us with contact data you have acquired since the Vanishing, we have begun collecting navigational data and would be willing to transfer it to help develop relations. (OOC: I have an [ugly but functional] map; tell me what you know, and I suddenly have a reason for knowing parts on it I shouldn't know and you can see it).

Greetings and well met, fellow survivors. We are the Commonwealth; our intentions are peaceful. Our capitol is Sol and give notice that the Imperial Republic is gone. We are interested in establishing cordial relations. To this end, we wish to notify you of our reestablishment of cordial contact with the world of Dschubba and our intention to induct it into the Commonwealth. If you wish to send a Scout party, you may, but we ask that you not send any military vessels. If you can agree to this, we will agree to do likewise for Izar.

Also, if you were to provide us with contact data you have acquired since the Vanishing, we have begun collecting navigational data and would be willing to transfer it to help develop relations. (OOC: I have an [ugly but functional] map; tell me what you know, and I suddenly have a reason for knowing parts on it I shouldn't know and you can see it).

We do not seek war, and therefore will grant you this request to pass through Haskell unchallenged - as long as no warships are sent. We will also provide you with any and all navigational data we have accumulated since the Great Disappearance, in exchange of a compilation of your discoveries. However, no vessels of any kind, from the Commonwealth or any other political entity, will be allowed to enter Sanctuary. Such an act will be considered a hostile intrusion and responded with military engagement.

TO: Mobius Roverius

These terms are acceptible. Any communications data you have for further acquisition of knowledge would be benefitial to the completion of cartographical mapping; we will transmit the information once we have finished data compilation.

OOC: I will go out on a limb here and imagine that we can trade communications by just agreeing to it, since if you know somebody clearly all the gates have to be "manned." I basically have everything but the University, Clones, Jagannatha, and ICARD mapped out, since nobody in this "half" is connected to them. However, in the interests of roleplaying, I will only show what I know; so for me to display everything I have, I will require contact with and cooperation from everyone on "this" side. Otherwise bits and pieces of the map will be missing.

 

[Silver Steak]

Well, you have my part(s).

To Commonwealth of Interstellar Domains

We wil send some Por'sve and Por'o negotiators to your 'Domains' to discuss these matters further.

Greetings and well met, fellow survivors. We are the Commonwealth; our intentions are peaceful. Our capitol is Sol and we give notice that the Imperial Republic is gone. We are interested in establishing cordial relations. We have been informed of your existence by the Mobius Roverius, and are interested in obtaining stellar data you might have acquired since the Event. We are willing to reciprocate with our compiled data should you be so inclined.

TO: T'au Empire
FROM: Commonwealth of Interstellar Domains
We look forward to hearing from you.

TO: Mobius Roverius
FROM: Commonwealth of Interstellar Domains
As promised, the compiled data, as we currently understand it:

OOC: Above presumes one-system "view" from visited systems, which is what stats indicate. Shapes are mostly different from the "starting position" maps because connecting those (without rotating them around) was... messy... which is why I made the above.

General stat problems: T'au profile states there are two Mobius systems bordering Acubens, but Mobius states only one. Aquarious profile states both their connected systems border T'au, but Tau profile says nothing.

 

[TerrisH]

TO: T'au Empire
Greetings. we herby notify you that we have placed Calims on both the Giausar system, and the Skat System. any attempt to enter them with millitary forces will be considered a Hostile Act toward our Sovergntigy, and a Deadly insult Toward our Family.
On the other hand, we will consider any Unarmed scout craft to be a threat and will allow them to freely enter and Leave our systems. We hope you will extend the same Cortesy to Our own ships as we do Yours.
We also wish to discuss the posiblities of opening and re-establishing trade between various star Systems.
We will be more then happy to meet with any Representives you might wish to send in the Skat System, aboard one of our Scout ships.
OOC:
Erik, should I not have 55 Production, not 45?

I will put links, but one of the great things about stats in each update, which I'm glad I came up with, is that now I can refer back and check how much everything has/should have changed, and it's easier to correct things.

Getting to work on irritated questions from everybody now...

 

[Niklas]

There's a star called Haskell?? Whoever owns it, it's mine. Period. (And if you don't believe me, check http://haskell.org, in particular the favicon )

@Erik: The description of the Clones faction could do with an update. Or did they clone that too?

 

[Silver Steak]

Sending orders...

 

[Silver Steak]

Orders are the sentedness!

From the T'au Empire

Greetings in the name of the Greater Good. We look forward to your continued diplomatic channels with us. We note that you have placed claims on two systems to the galactic south of us. We would thus like to inform you that Aun'Va has decreed that Eltanin, Izar and Sadalbari are to all be considered septs of the T'au Empire and to infringe on the territorial integrity of the T'au Empire will result in hostilities to emerge from this action.

 

[Erik Mesoy]

Maps have been sent to everybody. Not posting them on thread. Work together if you want a bigger, better map.

I think the stats should be mostly fixed now... and I'll add a link to them on the first page.
