If it hasn't already been done, I'd like to lodge a protest against the pirates getting so much cash. Total, they get 360M, which is more than any other single faction. Besides, a confederacy of one or two planets making 180M doesn't exactly make sense. And then we get into the problems of RMA having a 180M fleet. If you don't get it, have Espy explain.

Once again, ask Esponer to explain to you what RMA does to webstories.

You are mistaken, the Pirates aren't a single faction. RMA and I are on opposite sides of the galaxy and have in no way co-ordinated our actions. in fact it is very likley that when we do meet up we will be the most bitter of enemies.
Also the "confederacy of one or two planets" only makes 40M (RMA makes 60M) less than the smallest Weave member race. I based the current fleet numbers on my interpretation of the plugin, just as I based everything else in this webstory. If you can find me any plugin based evidence that my fleet proportions are in error I will consider changing them.

Hmm. Fair enough, I guess. I forgot about their limited income when I wrote that.
I'm still scared about RMA with such a large fleet, though...should be an interesting story.

Rak, you are the biggest fool in the history of webstories if you expect RMA to help you.

Specops, I am the Hunn'sta lesader you can be one below me.

Ah, see, you've returned. That's fine, you can be Hunn'sta. We thought that you had left the webstory, so we moved me from my first position as Commander of the Weave military (loyal to the president, not any faction) to Hunn'sta leader. You are more than welcome to have you old position back, and I shall take the Admiral position thingie that I was first offered. Glad to have you back.
Name: Admiral S'veth Nighol
Ship: W.S.S. Trimension
Position: The Admiral in charge of the generic Weave fleet (rather than Brox, Calan, Hunn'sta, or Sauridian)
Bio: S'veth Nighol was born into a family of the upper crust of society, on Earth in the Sol system. Since his father owned a large trading company, S'veth was able to fly many of the more dilapidated ships that were no longer in current use. When he graduated from high school, he applied for entrance into the Sol Military Academy. He graduated in the top 1% of his class there, and his first post was 1st Lieutenant on a Cruiser. His convoy was ordered to action at the Brox capital of Beeblebrox. There, he was helpless as he was forced to watch the massacre of hundreds of civilians. S'veth then realized that he couldn't remain part of an unethical military force. One night, on shore leave, he defected to the Brox. He took with him a data chip that had information about the strengths and weaknesses of the task force he was assigned to. He was able to use this chip as a bargaining tool to be allowed into the Brox Navy. He worked his way up the ladder of command. Since tacticians were sadly lacking in the Brox systems, he was very important. When the Weave was first formed, he became the leader of the Weave military. He is above all loyal to the Weave President and refuses to accept any orders accept from the Weave President and himself of course.

Ooh, yay! I don't have to have a fleet! specop, I'm assuming that you're going to keep the fleet I posted on the other thread, since you kept the flagship. Am I right? If not, just make your own...I posted the defense fleets a little closer to the top of the other thread.

This topic has outlived it's usefulness, I would appreciate it if some nice mod would lock it.
