Galaxy II (FT Sign Up)

Xantini
04-06-2006, 20:40
Galaxy II is, as you may have guessed, an alternate galaxy for FT RP only. The goal is to organize things a bit more, provide a well updated and clear map, prevent wankage of numbers, tech and generaly stupidity, and all that.

This may, of course, be overly ambitious. I admit to the possiblity of total failure, because many FT RPers have expressed a feeling that FT RP needs to be more freeform, because the wankage is fun, and all that. I have no problem with this, I just dont like it in my RPs.

In any case, GII will be govorned by some fairly simple rules. Thanks to the EII team for inspiration for this whole idea, by the way.

Rule 1:
No nations from outside of GII may claim systems, planets, space stations or anything within GII. They may participate in RPs taking place in GII without asking for permission if they wish, but only as independant parties (mercenaries, pirates, independant planets being attacing/defending somebody, whatever.) Remember, as far as you are concerned when RPing in a GII RP, NOTHING outside of GII exists.

Rule 2:
Rember to check the map, especially when claiming. Its not my problem if somebody snags the planet you wanted before you.

Rule 3:
You are free to name your systems whatever you want, within limits. The names will be added to the map (for this reason, try to keep them short.) and will not be changed after that point.
At this point and time, unclaimed systems each have a two charecter name. The first charecter tells which eighth of the galaxy they are in (see map), the second is their order from the inside out. For instance, '5-9' is the ninth planet out in the fifth eighth of the galaxy. If there are two planets on roughly the same line and you wish to claim one, simply say you want the 'upper' or 'lower' one.

Rule 4:
For the sake of convinience, each system marked on the map is assumed to have 1-3 habitable planets right off. There are many more unmarked systems with planets which are not habitable and are not terraformable.

Rule 5:
Please, observe basic RP ettiquete. Dont flame, troll, randomly ignore, etc. etc. If you have a problem with somebody, dont scream about it, just TRY to talk it over and work things out. If you cant, contact myself or one of the to-be-appointed moderators.

Rule 6:
If it becomes a problem, an offsite forum will be created for the discussion of technology, ship numbers, etc. Until that time, discussions of that nature may take place in this thread or in the RP thread in question.

Rule 7:
There are no 'banned' technology sets on GII, you can have Death Stars (provided you RP the construction and expense of building such a huge ship). However, if your ships are eighty miles long, have giant invulnerability shields, etc. etc, they will be ignored.

Rule 8:
For the sake of convinience, NS Tracker or Thirdgeek will be used to determine your nations budget.
http://nstracker.retrogade.com/

Rule 9:
If you are inactive on GII for more than a period of two weeks without notification to me or another moderator of GII, your systems will be open to siezure by other nations without informing you. You will be notified three days before reaching the two week mark.

Rule 10:
Do try to have fun.

Things You Should Know:
The Deep Core and Wild Space have not been explored as yet, there may or may not be anything worth getting there. There might, in fact, be a race of giant planet eating space-goats there, so watch it
But later on people can send ships there to have a look around, but for now, theyre blank spots on the galactic map.

Claims:

http://img354.imageshack.us/my.php?image=map1jt.png
Behold, the map.
Each system claimed is assumed to have an 'area of influence', shown on the map with Xantini.

Claims system:
You may claim one system per billion people in your nation.
Nations at or under 1 billion may claim one system.

Note that each area of the galaxy has its own advantages and disadvantages, I will leave it up to you to determinte what exactly those are, because (IMO) theyre fairly obvious.

If I may ask, exactly what is the scale of this galaxy? Or can I at least get an estimate of how many kiloparsecs it is across so I can at least estimate travel? (Only asking this because I realized that everybody is on the other half of it. I guess I have major BO or something :( )

I consider Xanthal to exist in all levels of the multiverse in which it is welcome. The concept of a more tightly-regulated FT universe is appealing to me, and I petition for acceptance of my nation to Galaxy II. Xanthal's four stars are all in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way, but as your map doesn't specify where that is I'll just take the four outermost stars in Sector 4. From up to down (as map graphic is oriented) these stars are named Mirfak, Than, Trasnia, Kanell.

The Comyns
05-06-2006, 19:01
Question:
How far along our "path to the stars" are we? Or, for sanity's sake...do we have an arbitrary number of years at our current budget levels to design and build our tech, trade items and weapons?

At least a general idea? I'm most happy playing at a relatively low number of exclusive naval ships and many armed cargo vessals. However I don't want to be overrun as an afterthought by an "older" or "ascended" civilization who claims thousands of years of fleet production to mass enormous fleets.

I know the OP touches on this, but I'm asking for a range of my fellow civilizations.

For the Comyns, I'm using 3% of the population as armed forces/security forces... and of that only 1 in 12 are actually on the line, the other 11 are support services. The defense budget is usually 30% personal costs, 15% flat maintainance and 10% Black Booked...the rest is spent as seen fit for regular weapons systems production, ship building and research.

That's what the spys get anyway :cool: . The money radically changes during crisis of course.

Xanthal is a democratic republic with socialist economic policies, a liberal political setup, and a part-conservative, part-libertarian social landscape. It has a fairly powerful military, geared primarily towards homeland defense, and a non-confrontational foreign policy. Xanthal is concerned mostly with domestic issues in its four home systems, but it can become involved in international disputes when the general welfare of a nation's people is an issue or Xanthal itself is threatened. However, Xanthal prefers to seek solutions at the negotiating table and respect the authority of other sovereign states. Only as a last resort will it go to war or otherwise directly intervene in another nation against that nation's leaders' will.

The Horde of Doom is run by a "Union Commitee." Each "Pack" is part of a union, making sure each "Pirate" gets a share of the loot, full dental insurance and other things. The Union Commitee decides general policy for the Horde, all though these rulings are loose. For instance a law stating murder is a crime has a HUGE list of amendments with scenarios where murder is ok. Very, very Libertarian.

BTW, anyone who signs up is most likely accepted. The maker of GII is on a 56K, so updates are somewhat slow. I'll ask him if I can take over when he is off. Anyways, if you are a very new nation I'm pretty sure you only get ONE planet. I'm not sure what the pop distribution chart is, though we might have to make one unless I'm too lazy to read the first post.

Those who have applied and have been accepted, feel free to start posting GII related things.

Note, if you DO make a thread for GII then please do the following in your Thread Name -

[GIIOnly] or [GalaxyII] or [GII] or [GIIClosed]

This is so that all GII members know which threads to check out, and so the ownder of GII may update the first post with known and active GII threads.

So, go make pacts, and such, and post in the Alien thing that the owner of GII made. I'm not sure if he is allowing war just yet, so just keep your militaries at ease. Start posting your tech if you want, and if you are unsure of what is happening then ask him. If you want to make a Factbook, although I think it isn't necissary, then post the link here to it. Remember, if you do make a GII thread, include one of the many Pre-fixes I have explained above.

Thank you.

1 system per billion pop, don't know if that means you can't take over another system until you reach another billion but I think that should apply, stops us from spreading too fine and allows for new members to join in.

1 system per billion pop, don't know if that means you can't take over another system until you reach another billion but I think that should apply, stops us from spreading too fine and allows for new members to join in.

Well that ain't fair. I claimed three systems which were very, very close to one another. (relatively speaking, of course) Besides, I plan on creating an RP which details me taking over one of the worlds in the "Triad" as I want to call it, for resources and to spread my influence. I just wanted to claim it to make it official when this all starts.

I'll start making a reference, now, since I have nothing better to do.

If I read the First Post correctly, then there are plenty of Non-Habitable systems that are available within your sphere of influence. The systems shown represent the "homeworlds". Theoritically, there are several hundred to several thousand systems that aren't just worth the effort at terraforming or inhabiting for one reason or another.

You could expand...but then, like toop said, your forces would be spread thinner. So for tiny newbies like me we are stuck with one core system...for now. I still figure that I have outposts and small resource colonies in the sphere. It is just that they really wouldn't be able to support my civilization.

I think X. Buggy dude that this has become the official de-facto ooc: thread. <shrug> :p I think it streamlines the process a bit. Our talks serve essentially as free bumps!
Cravan
05-06-2006, 21:21
Indeed.

However, those two other systems I claimed are unbelievably close to me. I wouldn't be spreading my forces too thin.

You dont get another system until you get another billion. That means that if you have 1.999 billion, you still only get one system.

Anyway, I dont mind you taking nuetral systems, as long as you do a good RP (IE: More than a page, at least), with good resistance and all that. No freebies.

Ill add all those claims and update the map now.

Yes, you can take a nuetral system if you RP it well and make sure to clarify the forces your using for said takeover, kindof as a check against people having fourty billion troops running around the galaxy because of lack of paperwork :P

Anyway, Im strongly considering an offsite forum to manage all of this, it would be far more convinient...

As Toops put it, Xantini said that those are planets that can have life on them. (I'm assuming having Earthlike qualities of water, temperature, etc so they are viewed as "hospitable" to the modern science community) Based on that, and if my trian of thought is correct, this galaxy is strangely unrealistic as there are a lot of systems with huge amounts of livable planets (1-3 per system if I remember right?) as compared to real life statistics of galaxies.
Me li
06-06-2006, 05:21
ayup it is indeed simplistic...but I think it was designed that way.
It would be hard to correctly model an actual galaxy with billions of stars.

If you prefer, I like to think of them as sector seats...local governmental areas that will be able to support your civilization. If we wanted to us RL earthlings could very well colonize large sections of this arm in a few thousand years. We won't even have to be restricted to planets once we are free of the gravity wells.

It is dumbed down for play balance. You are invited to think of them as big 'ole clusters if X. and the rest say it is ok... <shrug> for Myself, so long as you don't try to invade my space with number wanks or anything. You can do whatever you want in your space as far as I am concerned... You are invited to try and kill everyone else though.
