Ok, well I don't see any problems right now, I mean everything seems to be going pretty well and all. Now as things stand, by my next post all ships I have under my control (I have nine normal cruisers plus the command cruiser) will be awake and filling space with the DEAT cannons, yet the DEAT cannons which are the things you don't want to be hit by. What Khrrck's plans are, well are up to him but I will see if I can't get him to elaborate later.

Any questions or concerns should go here if you can; some OOC notes in the IC thread are fine but the major stuff should go here. Yes people can still come in and such and fight like OH MKII did, but keep it small, please. This is not the bust out the battlefleets time, this is small scale "OH FUCK IT'S A TRAP!" scale.

IC thread, btw.

Also uh, I need for WinTrees, and Skillcrossbones to post before I myself or Khrrck can really respond. And on that note, if anyone doesn't respond after two days, and they don't warn me, it is presumed they are dead. So right now you WinTrees, and Skillcrossbones, have till this time tomorrow to post, before you're declared dead.

And BLACKGRUE needs to tone down the Borg-wank or I pull the trigger on the Independently Recalibrated Newbie Ozonation Recirculation Engine.

Ok, uh, Skillcrossbone, I don't know if you meant to or not, but you've kinda ignored the mass of ordnance that was tossed at ... everyone who was there at the time. Not trying to bitch or anything but... yeah, a response to the fire would be nice.

Yeah borg tone it down a bit its meant to be fun not to be an ub3r smash and win

Alright well, unless he still has some issues, khrrck will post tomorow in reaction to TFU and such, and then I will. Which is kinda important; that you guys wait for me to respond after Khrrck as we're both controlling these 21 odd ships, and I would like to avoid any messes therein.

[OOC: Also, would everyone PLEASE note that, as per the VERY FIRST TWO LINES OF THE THREAD, there are NO planets in the system. At all. READ THE THREAD BEFORE POSTING, PEOPLE.]

Personally, if I was going to use a crappy pretext like being pulled out of warp accidently in a convienent manner to fight pirates/ambushers I would at least run with them instead of bitching at them... afterall, I would have interupted a perfectly good ambush and messed up the balance of the thread which everyone seemed fine with until I turned up looking to own something.

Use a bit of concideration people... crashing a thread like this is bad enough as it is. If you are going to incist on being in the ambush then make the effort to run with the idea instead of shitting on it.

Bump for that argument in that thread

A. Draconic Order, yes, the generic FTLi DOES work that way. However, the FTLi used by the Ordo at the present time is TARGETED, a la the warp scramblers from EVE Online. (do not interpret this to mean that it IS the warp scramblers from EVE Online - warp core stabilizers won't save you this time.) My previous statement stands.

While the attached site doesn't apply very well to the übertech of NS FT, you may find it useful:

Specifically this section:
http://www.projectrho.com/rocket/rocket3x.html

However, please note that my nukes are packed in a layer of transuranic casing: the explosion of the nuke sends the casing flying off at high speeds, adding a very significant kinetic punch to the pure radiation emitted by the nuke. Also note that the transuranic casing provides some rudimentary armor against point defense systems. They are programmed to detonate when they reach 250 meters from their target, or when their drive system fails, whichever comes first. They can also be detonated remotely, but I don't expect to be doing that.

B. BLACKGRUE, I have a very short temper when it comes to people who jump into encounters with $large_number of $super_powerful_warships and begin shooting randomly. Therefore I've pulled out the stops and used what is possibly the cheapest tactic possible with my technology on you. Take it or get ignored.

C. Skillcrossbones, you are being SHOT AT. HEAVILY. If you continue to ignore this fact it's the ignore-bat for you, too.

D. Everyone else is doing fine. (Although who knew that a Federal destroyer could fit such obscene amounts of weapons aboard? :P)

Well, everyone ignore my OOC request for the link to this thread in the IC thread, for obvious reasons.

And like I asked also in the IC thread, did anyone pay attention to the fact my King sent a transmission to all the command ships in the area? The text of it is in the post before the one I posted minutes/hour(s) ago. If it's because of an unwritten RP (Or whatever) where I sent it on the wrong frequency, well, I decided to RP another transmission attempt on 5 different frequencies in my last post in the IC thread, so there might be a chance of it being on the right frequencies this time.

And if any of you get confused by the transmission I wrote, read the rest of the post, ok?

The problem I have is that I'm not a tech wank... so I'm not entirely sure how much damage a nuke will do to a DO vessel, I'll just have to guess.

A. The Greatest Crap - I think that the forces in space are too busy shooting at each other to notice your transmission. Perhaps later they will.

B. Draconic Order - Guessing is fine, as long as your estimates are reasonable.

(ooc just a note my 2 next post will be my destroyers downfall for the most part, you should like its ending)

I will _LOVE_ the ending, because in the end the unholy battleship-AKA-destroyer that you are flying will be DEAD.

Alright guys, apologies first off for my week-long absence. School popped up, and I had to get into the new curriculum :( Eight month holiday my arse. Anyway, my post is up, and Khrrck, my post was hurried. My ship is probably more damaged than I may have let on, and I'm sorry if my description wasn't adequate. I can assure you that the Shivan Beam Cannon won't be used again, and well, if it didn't do the intended job, then we are screwed, and my time on this RP will certainly be short, but don't expect us to die running...

OH, if worse comes to worse, I can enter this to help an ally. We are required to do so from that long ago agreement...but only with permission.


TGC, I love your little comedic posts. They are a perfect balance to the battle. Please keep up with your efforts.


ElectronX and Khrrck, if a spot opens from players dropping out, I would like to be considered to be brought into this. Other than helping OH out, I don't think I should clutter the mess with another nation until a spot clears first.

Last post is inspired and soundtracked* by the evil badgers (www.badgerbadgerbadger.com). MUSHROOM!

*(This does not mean that the official soundtrack of the post is badgerbadgerbadger... I was simply listening to badgerbadgerbadger at the time.)

Hello?
Any of the people involved going to continue the main thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=493282)?

As far as I am concerned, the thread is dead. After much debate between myself and khrrck, others involved, and some personal introspection on my part: the entire thing turned into one giant debocle that turned out to be more trouble that it worth.
