RFS Kalamira - Valor-class Attack Cruiser - Hauptmann Tel'met commanding
TFU Space, system undisclosed

Space twisted and contorted like a serpent in its death throes. The very quantum filaments that made up the universe parted to reveal a small wormhole. The first vessel of the Cracked Skull division - the RFS Kalamira - came through the vortex under the guise of its Active Camouflage system. Four more vessels of the same class followed.

"Hauptmann! Targets at three-zero-six, mark five-eight. Three Federal cargo vessels, light escort."
The hauptmann, an enormous Teropta even for his own species, raised a claw and stroked his angular chin in an almost human fashion. He turned to his Shadri tactical officer.
"Signal the task force, attack pattern Tel'met alpha-three. Stay under cloak until we are in firing range."
The convoy didn't seem to notice the slightly distorted space created by the active camouflage as the five light cruisers silently sped towards them. Without warning, space erupted as green bursts flared from the main pulsar cannons and phase disruptors of the five raptor-like vessels. The cloak disappeared, and the Federal Union vessels found themselves surrounded by five green warships, each one looking like a massive bird of prey.
"Attention Federal Union vessels. You are surrounded. Surrender your vessels and cargo and your crews shall not be harmed. Disobey and we shall destroy you."

OOC: yea!
IC: We do not condemn nor condone the pirating of enemy vessels.
Keep up the good work!

Bump for interest to build.

NSS Yuggel, Lx-008 Class Carrier
The carrier was on a long range mission trying to find a lost vessel in the sector when there escort sent a message to the NSS Yuggel.

Message
We have located multiple vessels in the area on long range scanners and we have also picked up signs of weapon discharge. We request a scout team be sent out to that general location, coordinates are being sent now.
End Message

Crews prepared three SG-2's for a scout mission. The pilots came out of the ready room into the docking bay and ran towards there ship. Once they where all in the Bay doors began to open and they flew on out once they where fully open. They went into a triangle formation and began to head out for the coordinates that had been set.

(ooc 1 q why on me ?)
uhem response : from the lead Soyuz class escort ships (there are 8 light military ships defending all convoys)
"This is Captain Henagan of the UFS Thunder Charles. We will not comply with your orders. Stand down immediately and prepare to be arrested on the charge of piracy!"


The Soyuz-class ships and other vessals moved into defensive positions around the convoy, which was ready to make a break for it. he pirates would notice a hospital ship and a colony ship also in the convoy. a small survey ship was in a near by system .

mean wile captain henagan was sighing a bit saying “damned pirates this is the first incident we’ve seen in years we’re did they come from !? “ mean wile one of the cargo ships was at the head of the convoy about to make a brake for it

OOC: TFU, can you run your posts thru spell-checker first? It's kinda hard to read with a bunch of spelling mistakes

OoC-Because I just don't like you.

Tel'met grinned, if such a thing was possible for the dinosaur-like being.
"Such a tiny vessel, and he dares challenge us? Burnside, this is Kalimara. Disengage main fleet and go after that cargo vessel. Target their bridge if you have to. Should not be too hard, what with those saucer-things and all." The teropta touched the holobutton to re-open the channel with the FU convoy. "Very well. You have been warned. Your cargo shall be taken by force. Cargo vessels, prepare to be boarded. Military vessels, prepare to be destroyed." The Kalimara charged her four heavy pulsar cannons and twelve heavy phase disruptors. Tel'met called up the specifications given to him by the Ministry of Intelligence for the Soyuz-class defense vessel. His own cruiser was easily five times larger than the smaller vessel, but those turrets might be a problem. However, as with all of the 'saucerheads', they had one weakness...

"All weapons, fire!"
Green and blue pulses of death-bringing light burned from the Valor-class warship at the main saucer of the UFS Thunder Charles. The three remaining vessels in his attack group also chose targets, pouring nearly half their firepower on them.

OOC: He is part of the USF, Dont make me come in there with my uberized ST tech.

*Tag* Rather intresting. I'll probably participate later, but I won't deploy too many of my ships. I need them all for the Fall of Facehuggeria (Coming soon to a nationstates board near you!)

2 freighters were ripped to shreds However, the combat ships suffered light to moderate damage on there shield systems Their shields Were reduced but 25 % for the saber classes 10 % for the Florida classes and 50 % for the Soyuz class. The Thunder Charles was moderately damaged. the ships phasers charged up and fired again and again.

The Florida classes fired a continuous beam of phaser fire at 2 of the enemy ships, while the Soyuz classes fire pulse after pulse of there own powerful beam and pulse phaser cannons. Torpedoes poured out of the ships flying at Torpedoes poured out of the ships flying at FTL towards the enemy ships.

OOC: Uh, it seems like every time TFU is engaged in battle, you end up coming in and messing him up. Will you quit it, please? At the very least, deploy 1 easily-defeated ship.

OOC: Uh, it seems like every time TFU is engaged in battle, you end up coming in and messing him up. Will you quit it, please? At the very least, deploy 1 easily-defeated ship.

OOC: Well, when TFU engages in battle with my allies, I kind of have an obligation here. As I said, I won't deploy a large fleet.

However, I cannot send 1 easily defeated ship. The thing is that I have no easily defeated ships that are capable of FTL.

This is not an ESUS war. This is a Feazanthian and Central Facehuggerian war. The ESUS shall remain neutral, and any members who do become involved will not have the support of The Mindset, nor the mandatory aid given by ESUS members.

As the scout team approaches the other vessels they realize a fight is going on. "Yuggel! This is scout team three! We have what seems to be a fire fight going on! It looks like one group of ships is surrounded by another, looks like the ones encircled where attacked. It looks like there are non military ships that have been encircled to!" the squad leader waited for a reply "Roger the ST-3, Stand ground and wait for back up! I repeat stand your ground and wait for back up!"

Alarms in the Yuggel and there escort went buzzing off as crew members scrambled to get to there post. Within a minute a squad of bombers and fighters where ready and where leaving. One squads of Luger-09s and three squads of Luger-11s had left the Yuggel and quickly went into battle formation. Once the bomber squads came within 5,000 Kilometers from the enemy vessels they would fire off three C-1 missiles per large enemy ship, the missiles where locked onto the Engines and had a 500 Kg Plasma explosive which would kill the engines of the ship. After that fighters would move in and clean up what was left.

"All hands! Brace for impact!" The three meter teropta clutched his command chair as a few of the phaser bursts from the Federal Union vessels broke through the Feazanthian distortion shields. Tel'met hit the emergency FTLi command, sending out a pulse of the secret Feazanthian FTLi energy. Space around the battle tightened and repaired itself, the warp engines of the enemy torpedoes no longer working. As the torpedoes were suddenly dead in the water, bursts from the phaser turrets on the nose of the Valor cruisers made short work of them. "Damage report!" bellowed the lizard.
"Armor damage in sections eight and twenty three! Deck five reports minor depressurization, emergency barriers holding. Structural integrity at 97%."
"Disengage inhibitor field, ready torpedo brace!"
With the FTLi field disengaged, the four cruisers fired a three burst volley of Thunderbolt Mk. IV long range torpedoes from each of their four launchers, each one carrying a six gigaton fusion warhead.

Tel'met watched as the torpedoes were launched.
"Distortion shields to maximum! Target the nearest Soyuz-class, attack pattern Tel'met beta six!"

The warp sublight engines of the Kalimara sprang to life, and the cruiser flew at the Thunder Charles with surprising speed. Aft thrusters fired, and the ship brought its nose and primary battery to bear on the top of the escort ship. It focused its fire on a single point of the vessel's superstructure - the vulnerable engineering section. The ship's heavy anti-capital ship batteries fired in quick succession.

Meanwhile, the fifth cruiser began attempting to herd the cargo vessels into a circular FTLi 'pen'.

OoC - See? I run my posts through a spell checker before I put them in.

OOC: Snice I am his ally in USF I want to know WHY you are doing this, If I can't get a good reason I'm going to blow your Raptor Class ships out of space.

OOC:
Its called 'privateering' people, you pay private citizens to do your govornments dirty work. The ships arent going to be marked, other than possibly with private insignia. Of course, they might also be govornment ships stripped of ID, and then whether or not you could ID him would depend upon whether or not he sells that class of ship.
Capturing/interrogating his crew would work as well, but I dont think Star Trek has ion cannons, so your screwed if you planned on that approach.

As to a reason, I dont know, Im not Feazewhattever, but does he really NEED an IC reason, other than that he doesnt like you? Same for his OOC reason, which he doesnt need at all. It could be for money, honour, whatever.

OOC:
And it generally works pretty well at getting the government's work done without getting the government in trouble.

We will try to contact the pirates' leader to mitigate the conflict.

He explained how he stopped your torpedos (FTLi combined with excellent point defense.) As for the phasers? Meh. I don't know. His shields likely asorbed them.

OOC: Meh... and to think I usually spend 30 minutes at a time telling the Fedral Union to stop wanking; then one of you guys load this pile on him which will only encourage more technology wanking.

Tel'met hit the emergency FTLi command, sending out a pulse of the secret Feazanthian FTLi energy. Space around the battle tightened and repaired itself, the warp engines of the enemy torpedoes no longer working. This is wank, bording on GODMOD; you have pretty much just claimed damages on TFU's weapons so that you don't feel any damage... personally I would ignore this.

These torpedoes opened a small tear in the universe, reappearing behind the enemy's shielding and armor. They detonated, each one with a six gigaton burst.People bitch at TFU for using weapons like this, I convinced him not to because they are pretty much wank... oddly enough though it seems like everyone is going to use them. Looks like I'll never be able to get TFU to using sane technology because people like you will:

> Claim that the enemies weapons are useless against you.

> Claim that the enemies defences are useless to stop you.

Personally I feel these are very close; if not the exact definition of GODMOD. Nice way to balance out an RP... with quality threads like this I doubt TFU will ever learn to be reasonable.

verry much Agreed .. ill take this to heart and ignore this..

If there's anything I hate, it's being ignored. Expect an edit later today.


Oh, and my skipper torpedoes aren't a godmod. They've been accepted in the major FT universe, and are HORRENDOUSLY expensive (due to their tiny FTL drives). I mostly use my standard Thunderbolt torpedoes, Skippers are a 'finisher'.

Also, keep in mind that I am using five cruisers to his eight escorts. Allow me to give you some specs.


Soyuz-class patrol vessel
http://www.startrek.pl/res/klasy/Soyuz/big/sche_soyuz.jpg
Length : 243 m
Beam : 150 m
Height : 63 m
Armament: 4 x Type VII Phaser banks
18 x Type VI Phaser banks
(I'm guessing he has uprgraded those weapons, but I could be wrong)


Valor-class attack cruiser

Length: 1.001 km
Width: 1.24 km
Height: 545 m
Nose Armament: 4 heavy pulsar cannons, 18 type XXI phaser turrets
Wing Armament: 12 heavy phase disruptors, 6 medium pulsar cannons, 4 torpedo tubes, 45 type XXI phaser turrets

OOC: And to think, you try and go to war over Rob's wank...

OOC: And to think, I haven't condoned Feazanthia's behaivor. I've merely explained to TFU how Feazanthia rationalized it...

Although I do believe that using FTLi to stop TFU's FTL torpedos is a clever idea.

So before you start insinuating, please allow people to explain their positions.

Something about torpeedos not being wank...

OOC: For a moment, just a moment, I thought that there may have been redemption for this thread. However, reading your edit I decided that anyone who thinks it's ok to automatically assume they got past defences, which is what you did.

Also, I talked to the FT players on IRC (mostly from nations who play FT in the Nationstates Forums) and they to think it's pretty wank. As far as I'm concerned the fact that you ignored damage yourself, and then automatically inflict damage on TFU is pretty much all I needed to know about this thread. Unless you change alot of things, I can pretty much assure you that this will be ignored.

OOC: Although I do believe that using FTLi to stop TFU's FTL torpedos is a clever idea.

OOC: I'll admit, it's interesting, but from what I've read he has completely ignored all of TFU's attacks and at the same time ignored all of TFU's defence.

I don't care if he used a 1000 words to describe it, it's pretty much perfectly under the definition of GODMOD and have rendered the thread pointless for TFU to RP.

OOC: Yup. I agree. Back when TFU had 15,000 capital ships, Feazanthia could rationalize it away by saying they're made of cardboard, but now he does have to take legitimate damages. Although, admittedly escorts against cruisers doesn't seem like an even matchup, so the damage taken wouldn't be too major, but still.

OOC: Meh, nevermind. It looks like Rob is pretty much just taking his chances to just ignore the entire thread now. He may come back but I'm not convincing him to do so; it's his choice. If you edit I would suggest telling him you have done so as I reckon he has probably listened to me for a change and may actually ignore this thread properly by not posting on it...

Can't entirely blame him though.

Alright, I editted.

Keep in mind that I pretty much have every advantage in this conflict. My ships are heavier. I outgun him. I have the element of surprise. My captains are ready for this, while his captains were most likely expecting a quiet run. Escort captains are usually second or third tier officers. Also, the Valor-class is new, so their captains would have no data on it. The Soyuz, however, is fairly commonly used amongst Trekkies. You all are accusing me of godmodding because I'm actually using basic tactics, not just throwing a mass of vessels willy-nilly at the enemy.

Alright, I editted.

Actually, I was accusing you of GODMODing because you pretty much were by not taking any damage and RPing what happened to TFU's stuff. Now that you've edited I'll leave it up to him to choose wether or not to except it... though the technology still seems wank.

OOC: They accuse your of godmoding because your torpedos can just pierce his defenses like that. And for how you are apparently 'calling damage' on TFU's ships and torpedos. OOCly, I have no opinion either way, I'm just relyaing what I percieve to be their grievances.

Oh crap. yet another thread ruined. Can't people TALK to TFU before they engage in combat with him?! I mean, it's also absurd to do what you did, because then basically your ships are invincible, and there's no way in hell even I would accept such a blatant attempt to godmod. Besides, you want someone to target in a piracy RP, go after me!

Listen, all of you. TFU and I worked this out last night. This is really just a setup of a much larger RP between him and I. SO COOL IT.

Captain Coupland Of The 2nd Task Force Assinged to this Sector: Cease and disest. TFU is part of the USF making him one of are allys. If you do not break off now I WILL attack.

A small Imperial anti-pirate force (1 VSD, 2 Neb-Bs) was patrolling the sector when sensors picked up a firefight in the area.

"Sir, it's too far to make sure, but there's indications of phaser fire and torpedoes thrown about." the sensor officer reported.

"Very well." Commander Johns said. "Let's check it out. Full speed ahead!"

The engines glowed slightly as the ships accelerated towards the firefight.

(I will unginore it but no more TECH wanking And take damage from my attacks please . reasonable damage..)
'
The pods began to emit a sub space and normal distress single at every direction there were very few survivors of the attack a few children and people in 4 pods they slowly drifted in to deep un charted space

"Sir, we're now picking up a distress signal." the comms officer reported. "There was a battle, seems like."

"Ok. Launch fighters and search for any escape pods. We need to find out what happened here."

"Yes sir."

4 X-wings were launched and they searched for the signals. Not long after, they found scattered Fedral Union escape pods, and vectored the Victory Star Destroyer to tractor beam them in. Medics were called in to take the children and older members to sickbay, and they diagnosed their patients.

"Exposure, mostly." the chief medic reported to the commander. "They're being treated for exposure and other injuries. Sith, they're just kids!"

"Yeah. Is there an officer or crewmember among them?"

"I think so, but I was busy treating them, so I didn't really check."

"Ok, I'll go down and speak to them, find out what happened."

"Yes, sir." The medic guided the commander to sickbay...

Crazed Marines is officially warning TFU to not provoke Central Facehuggeria. He is our ally, and any attack on him will be seen as an attack on us.

OoC-Meh. Calabra's been itching to test his tech. I'll rope him in somehow (though I know that he hates pirates...hmm...).

The five cruisers sat three parsecs away, cloaked and undergoing minor repairs.

"Report, lieutennant."
"Hauptmann! We have successfully brought aboard twenty-nine tons of metal ore and scrap, and sixty-five kilos of medical supplies, not to mention scores of foodstuffs."
"And our losses?"
"The Icarus blew a power coupling when they initiated a high-speed maneuver, it'll be repaired within the hour. The breach on deck three has been repaired, but we'll need to re-armor it when we get back into port. We exhausted 20% of our antimatter reserves, it'll take the reactor some time to refill them. Overall, an overwhelming success."
"Hauptmann! FLASH traffic from SquadCom, secure Slipstream beam. Priority Alpha."
"Patch it through to my wristcom."
A small, obscure figure appeared.
"Congratulations, Hauptmann. We have just recieved battle vids from your latest engagement. Impressive. Be advised that ten of the new Raptor-class raider vessels are being dispatched to your current location. You are to procede to hex 78-902-1729 and begin raids of a lucrative military supply route. Your squadron will deal with the escorts while the Raptors take on the supplies. SquadCom...out."

"Anything left out there?" Commander Johns asked.

"Nope, sir. Nothing on scanners, not even long range." The sensor officer said.

"Very well. Set course for Terran Prime. The Federation must be made aware of this."

"Yes sir."

The VSD Raincruiser powered up it's hyperdrives and disappeared into hyperspace with it's escorts. ETA, 6 hours.

The task force reverted to realspace near Terran Prime.

"Attention, Terran Prime Control, we have recovered victims of a serious pirate attack. We are now going to send the victims back to you." The Commander said. Shuttles with the victims soon headed for the surface of Terran Prime, and home for them.

As the scout team approaches the other vessels they realize a fight is going on. "Yuggel! This is scout team three! We have what seems to be a fire fight going on! It looks like one group of ships is surrounded by another, looks like the ones encircled where attacked. It looks like there are non military ships that have been encircled to!" the squad leader waited for a reply "Roger the ST-3, Stand ground and wait for back up! I repeat stand your ground and wait for back up!"

Alarms in the Yuggel and there escort went buzzing off as crew members scrambled to get to there post. Within a minute a squad of bombers and fighters where ready and where leaving.

ooc: Feazanthia you ignored my attack on your ships.

OoC-You are correct, Nano. Unless you have had extensive prior contact with TFU, it is illogical that you would be in TFU space unhindered. Also, why would you automatically go for my ships if you did not even know who's side they were on?

And besides, a 500kg explosive is negligable in current Future Tech warfare. My ships don't have engines per-se, but use a highly localized warp field to reduce the mass and propel the vessel through real space.

Starfleet command responded 4 admirals sat in a table over looking the main view screen . admiral Patton said "were surprised to find a Core worlds ISD jump in .. here we heard of the attack do you have any idea who did such an attack?" he looked concerned ..

"Hauptmann! Inhibitor sensors detect quantum filament displacement two-hundred and fifty kilometers off the port bow. Neutrino spike detected."
Genious, thought Tel'met. Using the star's corona to mask their neutrino spike when they exit the Slipstream.
"Sir, one of the cloaked vessels is hailing us."
"On screen, front."
A Xentrall officer appeared, the image slightly hazy.
"Hauptmann Tel'met, I am Leftennant Pii'rat of the raiding frigate squadron RatForce. My ten vessels, including my flagship Manta Ray, are at your disposal. I assume you have our orders from SquadCom?"
"Leftennant Pii'rat, this is Hauptmann Tel'met of the heavy raider squadron MetForce, Kalimara flagship. I do indeed. We are to proceed to grid hex 78-902-1729 and begin raids of a lucrative military supply route. MetForce will provide fire support while RatForce takes on supplies. Afterwards we are to enact Allison protocol article 5.2 and make a series of random jumps towards friendly space."
"Very well. Manta Ray, out."
Pii'rat's insectoid form disappeared, and Tel'met began making preparations for the next jump...and the subsequent raid against the Fedral Union military.

Starfleet command responded 4 admirals sat in a table over looking the main view screen . admiral Patton said "were surprised to find a Core worlds ISD jump in .. here we heard of the attack do you have any idea who did such an attack?" he looked concerned ..

"Some of the survivors have reported of pirates of some kind attacking them. As far as they know, there is no ID of where they come from." The Commander said. "We have been ordered to aid you in any way possible to end this pirate threat."

Meanwhile, the ISD Megalodon also jumped into the system, with 2 VSDs as escorts. Now it is a fleet, each ship being what all pirates fear to fight, combined to create a very potent anti-pirate task force.

"Hauptmann! Inhibitor sensors detect quantum filament displacement two-hundred and fifty kilometers off the port bow. Neutrino spike detected."
Genious, thought Tel'met. Using the star's corona to mask their neutrino spike when they exit the Slipstream.
"Sir, one of the cloaked vessels is hailing us."
"On screen, front."
A Xentrall officer appeared, the image slightly hazy.
"Hauptmann Tel'met, I am Leftennant Pii'rat of the raiding frigate squadron RatForce. My ten vessels, including my flagship Manta Ray, are at your disposal. I assume you have our orders from SquadCom?"
"Leftennant Pii'rat, this is Hauptmann Tel'met of the heavy raider squadron MetForce, Kalimara flagship. I do indeed. We are to proceed to grid hex 78-902-1729 and begin raids of a lucrative military supply route. MetForce will provide fire support while RatForce takes on supplies. Afterwards we are to enact Allison protocol article 5.2 and make a series of random jumps towards friendly space."
"Very well. Manta Ray, out."
Pii'rat's insectoid form disappeared, and Tel'met began making preparations for the next jump...and the subsequent raid against the Fedral Union military.

mean wile a some what large convoy was slowly drifting though space . this time there were more ships in protection they obliviously wandered towards Wolf 359 to deliver supplies to the star armory there ..

Escorts :
2 galaxy class star ships
1 sovereign class star ship
4 Arkia class star ship’s
1 galaxy X class star ships
4 saber class frigates
2 strike class fast attack ships

Da! I remember you from long ago! :) still around I guess
I played a nation named Myrenica around the time you joined and I got nuked in the end.
Why? Because you misspelled Fed(e)ral Union, but mostly because you make too much of your fleets! That makes it fun to chip away at any nation.
Ummm... no offence... play on.
This is entertaining. : Nice to see your country developed.

(ooc 1 q why on me ?)
uhem response : from the lead Soyuz class escort ships (there are 8 light military ships defending all convoys)
"This is Captain Henagan of the UFS Thunder Charles. We will not comply with your orders. Stand down immediately and prepare to be arrested on the charge of piracy!"


The Soyuz-class ships and other vessals moved into defensive positions around the convoy, which was ready to make a break for it. he pirates would notice a hospital ship and a colony ship also in the convoy. a small survey ship was in a near by system .

mean wile captain henagan was sighing a bit saying “damned pirates this is the first incident we’ve seen in years we’re did they come from !? “ mean wile one of the cargo ships was at the head of the convoy about to make a brake for it

OoC- Just so we're all in agreement, and since this thread doesn't have an OOC alternative, I'll go ahead and post the basic stats of all military vessels involved here.

we are willing to pay any and all pirates up 50 million Cr per milltary and civilan vessal destroyed belonging to Coreworlds and TFU. proof of ships destroyed must be proven, money will be wired from an untraceable account.


Mavirc looked at the message, his pirate group had been getting board of the simple runs and the almost impossible attacks on CS/ESUS tradelines. This would be easy his small fleet of 8 vessals would be more then anough to attack TFU tradelines.
"This is Mavric i want scans for any TFU or Coreworlds vessals"
"sir we've picked up a large convoy its well protected"
"contact the other pirate groups, the black templa, Skulls, Blood rangers and Unforgiven tell them we have a proposle for them" Mavric sead.

he sat there thinking 50 mill a ship, thats going to be able to allow my group to by a sh*t load of ships and pay off all our debts

OOC: my prirates mainly have corvettes (she'Klans) and Skull class escort carriers apart from the Black Templa who are a Merc group who get alot of jobs form the Empire for just this sort of thing...they somehow get weapons that go missing from milltary bases...strange that

Tel'met let out a low whistle as the tightband transmission got to him.
"Fifty million? Access to a shipyard? Nice. Pii'rat, you reading this?"
"Yess," said the Xentral. "I believe that we sshould take thiss contract."
"I say we take it AND the imperial money."
"I like your thinking."

The fifteen pirate vessels emerged from the Slipstream and wasted no time. The five cruisers concentrated their fire on the Sovereign vessel, followed by a barrage of four Thunderbolt torpedoes. The ten Raptors, however, remained cloaked and made their way to the other side of the convoy to begin transmission of cargo once the enemy's fleet was busy with the cruisers.

The sovereign classes shields were reduced by 15 % the captain the ship said “ target 3 enemy vassals and fire full phasers and torpedoes” with that the sovereign class opened up its arrays charging and firing again and again 4 beams of energy fired at 3 enemy ships the sovereign classes torpedo tubes opened up a stream of rapid fire torpedoes were pouring out of them along with a continuous beam of phaser fire .
The galaxy classes mean wile broke off and started to fight another 3 ships firing heavy phaser beams and torpedoes at them

The Akiras broke off and started to launch mass torpedo fire on the nacelles of 2 ships along with phaser fire gigatons poured out of each ship all homing in for the Emmys nacelles and reactor cores . bolts of energy flew out of every ship beams of crimson light charged up and fired again and again the ships flew around in a blaze of fire quickly charging poisons every Nano second the galaxy class dreadnought . charged up its heavy cannon and fired a massive pulse of energy at one of the ships along with a stream of torpedoes

OoC-The COMBINED firepower of five cruisers that are BIGGER and MORE HEAVILY ARMED than the Sovereign reduced its shields to only 85%?
I'm going to have fun here.

Oh, and I don't have nacelles. Not everyone has nacelles.

IC-
"Damage report!"
"Sir! After our last encounter I took the liberty of remodulating our Distortion shields. Shields are holding, but energy consumption rate is up. I'd say we have approximately fifteen minutes before shield charge must be lowered. I've boosted the Conversion shield's coverage to supercede the Distortion shield's, and they're making short work of their torpedoes. However, approximately twenty per-cent are making it through."
"And our structural integrity?"
"Minor radiation burns to port ventral wing, nothing more."
"MetForce, this is Kalimara. Ready full brace of torpedoes, set fuses to explode outside the enemy's shielding. We'll use the plasma screen to make our next maneuver."

The torpedo launchers were set to three round burst, and sixty torpedoes flew from the task force. Each one carried a six gigaton warhead. They were aimed at the Sovereign.

Four of the Valors broke off, beginning rapid-fire shots at the Galaxys (two Valors per Galaxy). The Kalimara took on the Sovereign herself. Firing full volleys of phase disruptors and heavy pulse cannons intended to beat the torpedoes from reaching their targets.

From the guise of cloak and high speed, the ten Raptor frigates began attacking the convoy with specially formatted Tachyon bursts, intended to disrupt shields but not cause structural harm.

the sov classes and galaxy classes shields were reduced by 25 %
The galaxy class dreadnought began to fire its main heavy cannon at 2 of the enemy ships along with firing phasers at 4 more of the enemy ships . the Arkia classes began to fire mass volleys of torpedoes (witch carry about 25 kg of anti matter each) at the enemy ships photon ,quantum and transphaisic flew out of every combat star ship in the area teratons of fire poured out as continuous phaser fire and torpedo fire homed in on the enemies lead ship. Mean wile the freighters were sending out a distress call on all frequencies . an RRF heard the single at wolf 359 and as they were designed to do they began warping out about 15 ships warped out in all towards the battle a few moments later they arrived just out side the battle zone cloaked and waiting to move behind the enemy ships 2 of the arias deployed there ablative amour and began firing torpedoes once again at the enemies

http://www.trekmania.net/the_fleet/utopia/fleet/agt_galrefit.jpg

"Sir! A distress signal on all frequencies!"

"Where?" Captain Morgan of the Megalodon asked.

"*tells coordinates*"

"Very well. Set course for the coordinates. All crew, man your battlestations!" He ordered, and the fleet of 5 ships jumped into hyperspace. ETA, 10 minutes.

OoC-OW...my brain. USE A FUCKING SPELL CHECKER! IS THAT SO HARD?


The Raptors were cloaked again, using matter transporters to steal the freightors' cargo while they were forced to either remodulate their shields or go defenseless. The Kalimara began a pass at the Sovereign, concentrating its fire on a target no more than five meters long to keep the shield energy concentrated. Meanwhile, two Valors broke off and fired all of their weapons again and again into the underbelly of the Sovereign while its shields were deflecting the Kalimara's attack from above. Each of the remaining Valors seemed to ignore the newcomers and concentrate their fire on the pair of Galaxys. Being nearly twice as long and far more heavily armed, it wouldn't be long before the Galaxy vessels succumbed. The Indomitable suffered a torpedo hit on one of its port phase disrtuptor cannons, losing use of the weapon. It answered the offending Akira with a pair of Thunderbolt torpedoes.

[b] C.N.S Thetis
Flagship of the UFP Flotilla
4 Million KM from TFU convoy [b]

Admiral of the Red Ralph Emerson Banning, Knight Companion of Arduous, sat on his command chair dressed in the formfitting black and white skin suit of the UFP Flotilla of the Commonwealth Navy. He studied the Tactical readouts with care observing the enemies movements and tactics. He watched as the enemies battle cruisers overwhelmed the TFU escort vessels, no matter the brave fight they offered their aggressors.

The Commonwealth Navy and the forces of Feazanthia have never before meet on the field of honor so this initial exchange would be exciting. Banning just wished he had more of his own task force present he was missing the Light Carrier Wasp and its escorts but the heavily stretched Commonwealth Navy was able to assemble a respectable TF to donate to the UFP and he hoped to make good on his nations treat obligations.

If only the enemy waited another hour to commit to the attack his forces would have been able to respond much more quickly. As it was they were now only just entering attack range, at a speed allowed by the massive amounts of ECM his ships were emitting.

"Range of the Lacs to the enemies fleet elements?" Banning asked his tactical Officer.

"Just under a million Klicks sir." she responded.

"Send Wing Commander Drusten my compliments he is free to engage the enemy."
---
Three busts of static, confirmed the initiation of plan "Dagger Thrust", at that instant the 300 "Light Attack Craft" of the Flying Tiger LAC Wing deployed their two "half" pods each containing ten anti-ship fusion missiles that launched at there targets at over 60,000 kps/s. 1500 such missiles were targeting the two closest "Valor" Class warships. They had only seconds to respond.

Their sleek designs hide its lethality from those who had the privilege to observe a Commonwealth Navy Cobra class attack Lac. The ships "nose" was painted over with dragons teeth, an idea Drusten stole from the "Flying Tigers" which was also the name for his Lac Wing. Just as hellfire emerged from the mouth of a dragon so would it from this Lac, only in the form of a 150cm Graser each had the ability to punch throw a Battleships sidewall.

Without waiting for the results of the missile launch the LAC Wing split into three Lances of 100 Lacs each targeting two of the Raptor class frigates with the powerful energy mounts. The enemy ships were easily targeted using the gravimetric ships of the Commonwealth navy. No less then fifty grasers were discharged at each one of six raptors. Surly they would know they were introduced to the WIckian Navy.

The Megalodon fleet reverted to realspace in time to see the enemy getting pounced upon by The Wick.

"Well well. We can't miss out on the party!" Captain Daniels said. "What's the situation?"

"Many weapons discharges, ECM activity is high, etcetera." Petty Officer Thomas Keegan reported. "Firing solutions...got 'em!"

"Good, son." The captain said, putting a hand on the boy's shoulder in a fatherly way. "Open fire on the largest ships!"

Even as the Wick fired it's weapons, deadly green turbolasers lanced out from the other way, trapping the pirate forces between two angry fleets. Kalimara and Indomitable are the main targets of the Imperial Star Destroyer and her escorts.

The Indomitable buckled under the fire and exploded in a brilliant flash as its quantum singularity reactor overloaded. A pair of the Raptors also succumbed to fire.
"Kalimara, this is Manta Ray! WE'RE TAKING HEAVY DAMAGE! We've filled our holds. Can't be anything of value left on those freightors! REQUEST IMMEDIATE RETREAT!"
"Damn straight. All ships, RANDOM JUMP COORDINATES NOW! Meet at rally point Alpha-Zulu-Niner."

Space twisted and contorted as the pirate vessels retreated. One more of the deadly Valor cruisers exploded, having taken too much damage to deal with the inherent chaos that was Slipspace. The others, however, got away with the Federal cargo.

OoC-OW...my brain. USE A FUCKING SPELL CHECKER! IS THAT SO HARD?

OOC: Avoiding Rob's hopes to have me come in here and kick as for the lack of sportmenship being shown, I think one point needs to be made about the clear lack of respect being shown in this case.

There are many players in Nationstates I don't like for various reasons; some personal, some on a principal such as their aggressively competative role-playing. However, I don't make a point of starting a thread with these nations and then insulting their ability to post. Afterall, if I don't like the way they write their posts then why the hell am I starting a thread with them?

If you are going to incist on roleplaying with The Fedral Union you will have to accept that quite often the post isn't going to be perfect. But you know what? It's improving. Slowly perhaps, but he's making progress. He used to RP in a play format without spell checking his post... now he RPs in a story format and actively tries to be more descriptive. He uses spell checkers for the longer posts, though they arn't perfect. But no matter what the state of his posts it's pretty clear to anyone who has ever roleplayed with him that he's hardly perfect in the spelling department.

So how about you either shut up or at least be constructive about it... like not insulting him during criticism. If you acknowledge him enough to start threads with him then you should at least not insult him...

Or maybe the purpose of this thread is to pwn TFU because you don't like him OOC; even though that is one of the worst reasons to start threads with anyone. Show some concideration once in a while for christs sake.

OoC-I actually started this thread because I wanted to use piracy to increase my military resources. TFU just seemed an easy target. I hadn't RP'd with him before, and I thought the reports of him not being able to spell were a tad eccentric and one sided.

I was proven wrong.

He may be improving, but it doesn't change the fact that he doesn't take the time to copy, paste, spell check, and then paste it back. That takes, what? Thirty seconds?

OOC: And you think that excuses your insulting him?

I know he can do a whole lot better, but when I give him advice I make a point of not insulting him during the process because the funny thing about Rob is that he don't respond well to insults; who does? And the thing is that when you insult him he doesn't listen to the criticism... but he does listen to the insult.

So essentially your criticism is pointless and only serves to make your RP even more troublesome as you anger him. Well done, genius... you've not only failed to make your point but you have made the atmostphere even worse which in turn will complicate the thread.

Your the one who threw this roleplay on him, you should have known what you were getting into; if you can't show some respect then I would suggest not bothering at all.

Ok look I’ve had enough of this its one thing not to take reasonable damage from my attacks and wank Until your brains fall out But it’s ,Another thing to go out about my spelling I put the thing in word then pasted it back to the post body .. that should be enough but apparently it isn’t I’m tired of needing a **** PHD in rocket science spelling and grammar and all that Crap JUST TO HAVE FUN ROLL PLAYING! For the love of god this is getting ridiculous

OOC: Some people do tend to have trouble spelling, you know. Dyslexia and all that. I can understand what's he saying. So just quite harping on his spelling skills and play!

IC:
"They fled." The captain simply said. "Any chance of finding where they'll reappear so we can pursue?"

"Not really, sir." Another petty officer said. "Barring probe droids, we can't detect them beyond a couple light years, and that's with active FTL sensors."

"Ok. Send a probe droid after them on their last known bearing. Let's see if we can catch them."

"Yes, sir."

A probe droid was dropped, and it launched itself into hyperspace after the pirates.

A pair of Victory class star destroyers exited hyperspace then. They were marked with green and brown - the colors of the Kashyyak empire.

"We detected weapons discharge. May we be of assistance?" asked the wookiee captain of one of the destroyers.

Ralph Emerson was satisfied with his peoples performance under fire, not a single casualty sustained.

"Recall all LACs, and bring in the Gunslinger Lance." The Four powerful BC(P) that were detached from the carriers and here escorts rejoined them.

"Now we shall await the reports of our pickets..." Emerson muttered to himself of the twenty small destroyers in his command he spread them out into two ship divisions among the most likely fall back positions of the enemy, be it nearby systems, stars , or nebulas, hopefully the enemy would appear in one of these points. If not they would head to this rally point in 36 hours.

OOC: I will leave to wookies to someone else he he

"We detected weapons discharge. May we be of assistance?" asked the wookiee captain of one of the destroyers.

"We have concluded our battle, Captain." Captain Daniels said. "We are about to go and pursue pirates and deal with them."

OOC: Given the latest OOC attempt to embarass and harass the Fedral Union made by Feazanthia in one of the most blatant flamebait threads I have ever seen, I would suggest to TFU to pretty much just ignore Feazanthia and simply not RP with this player.

It's clear that these two players will not be able to RP with one another without arguement and quite frankly the thread made by Feazanthia reflects worse on them then it does on The Fedral Union. So the best bet would be for both players just to ignore one another and keep out of one another threads.

I will also note that I'm not going to link this thread because it has been closed and it wouldn't be right to continue the thread here. However it should be said that when a player ignores another player the general method of doing so is to not reply to them. Not flame them in a new thread.

Thanks,

Pete / Iuthia

OoC-I'm sorry about the flamings. As I said before, I didn't intend this to end up as a flame war, just as a casual pirate ship RP (arr). I've been under a lot of stress IRL lately, as one of my classmates recently passed on in a car accident and another one is in critical condition. So, again, I'm sorry.

Just keep it polite, patient, and not personally insulting to anyone, and we'll all be happy. Patience and courtesy are necessary to well functioning RP.

TFU has indeed come a long way, with respect to both spelling and RP mechanics. That said, I would like to say a few other things.

One, some of you in this thread are working from entirely different universes of technology. Have patience and assume things work close to how they ought unless you work it out ahead of time.

Two, pirates usually scrounge stuff up after they kill. It's most of the purpose of piracy, to actually gain things rather than just blow ships up.

Three, Iuth, if you aren't going to be posting ICly, you probably should generally not post in the thread. Threads in this forum section are supposed to remain strictly IC. This would, of course, probably not happened if the rest of you also followed that rule.

Fourth, multi abuse in RP is not permitted. If you are uncertain as to what constitutes multi abuse, read the stickies. If that fails to enlighten you, go to the #nationstates IRC channel and ask them to explain it to you. You know who you are, and I'd rather not have to enlighten everybody else. If you weren't just about to engage in multi abuse, I'd love to hear the explanation.

On some purely technical notes, most addressed to Faezanthia, but some to the rest of you:

The Valdore class, which you seem to have borrowed straight out of Star Trek: Nemesis with the exception of the armament, is very commonly estimated to be 600m in length, not a km, and is probably not quite as well armed (nor as well protected) as the Sovereign class refit (to judge by the Valdore's relatively poor performance against Shinzon in Nemesis, although it probably does not fall far behind); if you have another vessel that simply looks and sounds like a Valdore but is eight times the size, so be it, but be aware of this. You should probably at least rename it to avoid confusion if so.

If the Valdore is 604m long, as some scaling nuts swear, then it is roughly 6.5 times the size of a Miranda, and 84% of the size of a Galaxy class starship. The Soyuz is essentially an old design that looks like a blocky Miranda with added gewgaws; I don't have a good volume coefficient for the Soyuz, but one would expect it to be 1/5th to 1/6th the volume of a Valdore.

On another stylistic point, the Raptor seems to have been snagged from a Klingon ship of the same name that I would swear is smaller than the (much more modern) D7 battlecruiser, which in turn is about 1/6th the size of a Miranda.

If I were TFU, I'd cry foul on the iFTL "Photon torpedos no worky" field, for numerous reasons. For one thing, conventional defenses against photon torpedos are perfectly appropriate; for another, a field capable of rendering photorps inert would also be capable of rendering his ships useless if sufficiently large and powerful. It essentially seems like a magic superweapon that you pulled out of your rear end.

Oh... and another thing. IC/OOC separation, folks. Maintain it please, it's very bad form to go to war ICly for OOC reasons.
