NationStates Jolt Archive

This is my nation in the future, its goverment and everything are the same except, well, everything else, so im going to give you a view of our ships, troops and vehicles, and maybe you can rp fight me in an ft if you want.

lets start with ships, the NC ft fleet is very simple only two classes, fighter and carror-war/probe ships. You see NC became very involved in observation so much of its technology is sensors and weopons, with very heavy shielding and stealth/holographic tech, but the big ships are slow.

Here is the Probe fighter: Its armed with dual plasma cannons(blue) and is painted white like its capital ships: it has light shielding and has above average sensors.

This is the Observer-class war/probe/carrier ship, its mounted with a Plasma ping weopon, this is used to detect other ships and is a great weopon against fighters, because the ship fires a 360 ping of super heated plasma(this is in weopon mode), this plasma is invisible until it hits the target, you can notice it coming, because it looks like heat waves. it has an advanced holographic emmiter which can engulf the ship, and it can cloak if need be(this has been used to study specieas), it can load a compliment of 300 probe fighters, and has two more features, it can channel the plasma ping into the cannon located in the dome of the ship(thus being able to take out capital ships almost easily) and it has a beaming system, but it is slow so it takes some time to transport troops(this is the only way we can tranfer our troops).

GROUND

The NC infantry are now one unified fighting force: Galactic Observation Units(GOU) has advanced pretty rapidly, but still uses projectile weopons.

This is the Post:walker class: armed with dual fused plasma emmiters a shock wave emitter (Can blow through buildings at short range)and energy shielding.

and that's basically it, its simple yet dangerous.

lol, i might make changes.

and how do you know we like the xscipian empire, we might have a Observer watching you.

bumpy-

Commander, not cammander carrier not carror weapon not weopon.

Two classes of ships? It makes more sense to have more types so if one class has a major flaw your entire navy isn't screwed. Walkers have one major flaw: they can be tripped. ever see return of the jedi?

yes, but that is how i am, and i will develop other weopons but this is it right now.

look in my sig for how a factbook should look.

i dont care what yours looks like spaceballs, this is how i want it, if i get owned, well, that's my fault.

I quite enjoy your factbook and ideas on FT, two ship classes... pretty ballsy. Meh don't listen to what other people say, do your own thing. I look forward to RPing with you in the future.

thanks, and do you want a war?

thanks, and do you want a war?

Errrm... no thank you >_>

okay :(

I may be interested. What kind of war are you looking for?

well, my race likes to play god, we basically watch over planets and do experiments on the specias(imagine the aliens in the forgotten but human) and when a race becomes dangerous it is destroyed. so maybe one of my Observer ships is holographed as a cloud in your planet and you find out the truth?

Isn't curb-stomping the Dalmagian's in The Vast Expanse enough for you? *Grins*

we thought you knew of our presence, as such need to be destroyed. we have observers on 30 worlds, oen each, that's exculding the main fleet. but we dont go all in, that would be to dangerous.

Hmm how strong are your ships? I know you can have 518 average ships max with the 1000 ships per billion rule (a rule most use to determine how much damage they can inflict and take, etc etc). I have 614 ships out of 2455. So, yeah, I can take the heat pretty well.

well, my observer class can usually kill a capital ship in one hit if it connect right, and that's basically the only weopon that can destroy large ships, and contain 300 probe fighters.

Uhh...Couple things. One, the party that has the ship being fired upon decides if that beam can kill their capital ships. Again, with the 1000 per billion ship rule. I use that to determine how strong someone is and get damage. You can have 518 average ships, how many do you really have?

This is just to help me get an idea of how strong you are.

i have 200 observers.

Less than half than. Thats good. As for the war, you could be detected, would be if it even approached, considering what sensors we have. But I need something more to go to war with you.

well, i have shielded fighters and my ground forces. we will get different ships when we need them.

OCC:i will be on in a bit.

bump

Okay...I have no idea what your ground forces are. Also, I saw your reasoning with the war with Xiscapia, and that sounds good to me. The whole "if they detect us, we try to kill them to hide our presence" thing.

The Plasma craze strikes again. And the fighter craze.

And there is something wrong with that?

And there is something wrong with that?

I never said such a thing.

Yeah but you were thinkin it. =P

[OOC:] Bah. Fighters are just missiles with people inside. <.< >.> As for plasma.... well, it sounds cool and technical, so I guess it'll do. Really, that's the essence of FT weapons: if they look shiny, and have an appropriately elaborate name, they'll work.

Also, I didn't know about the 1000 ship per billion rule.... who came up with that one?

When I say "rule" its more a social convention that pretty much most of the FT community uses. It is to help prevent the whole I HAVE A MILLION SHIPS AND THEY ARE ALL TEH UBAR110101!!!!!!

So to help regulate in a simple and non-complex way, the rule a lot of people use is 1000 ships per billion. If you have that number, 1000 per billion, your ships are considered about average, since you have to divide military resources and research amongst them all. If you willingly choose to reduce the amount of ships you actually DO have, then they are considered higher quality. Same amount of resources focused on less ships, making them stronger. If you choose to have more than the 1000 per billion, then they are considered weaker than average, as your resources are stretched even further.

Basically, its to add some realism and regulate wanking, and personally, help me find how strong people are to see how much damage I would do to them and them to me.

well,i have 200 ships in all

As you said.

Great, so NC is going to own me. I only have roughly half a billion people (567, actually) in my nation.

I thought the rule was "You show up with roughly 50% - 150% of what your opponent has, and everyone's happy"?

bump-

Depends on how your ships are. I doubt he has much more than you, since you both joined March of this year, so your population is around the same. How many ships you choose to have and how high quality will determine your battle as well as any and all tactics you use.

And technically you have more than him. He has 538 million in his nation right now.

Ah. Thank you. And I just captured one of his ships, so much the better.

and freed my dam experiments!!! you will pay dearly for that. I will meet you on the battfield of one of your moons.

Well, anyways, I am up for a fight if you want one, NC.

im busy with Xscipia, but im sure i have ships in your space( im everywhere)

I doubt it. I have sensor stations set up that would watch you. The moment you entered, or soon after, we would find you. The Imperium suffered one invasion, it doesn't want to suffer another.

im busy with Xscipia, but im sure i have ships in your space( im everywhere)
lol. I say we wait until tommorow until we continue, I sent a TG to Mereshk to see if he wants to join. Regardless, your people are now in prison and it's fairly peaceful (though watchful) on Xiscapia. I sent you a message, you can RP communications with me.

OCC: we only invade if the race is to intellegent., and xscipia i will communicate in a bit.

Because I have now captured one of your ships, I need to know: What crew size does the large ship need? Also, how many hangers does it have(you hold 300 fighters per ship) and how many walkers does it hold, plus were any on board when I captured the ship?

bump

Not bad. I like what I see so far....

Why..uh..why do you use walkers?

o_o At all? I'm not dogging on you, I'm just saying FT is competitive. You're gonna need something that can take a good FT tank or a more advanced species of mech.
