    • Okay. Map for Milky Way done. You can find it at:

      Of course, I wasn't precisely informed as to what systems the Confeds get, so this is just an estimation. Does it look good?

      Also, comments on both the Milky Way and Eta Cassiopea maps would be appreciated.

    • Carnotaur,it is not the Confederacy.
      It is the Skraine Interstellar Coalition of Worlds.
      Skraine systems are:

      Quote

      Chau'Skria,the home system.
      One terracompatible world,named Ka'Skria.
      One useless moon,barren.
      One orbiting station,Skraine Command.

      Kel'enn Ri,the second system.
      One huge blue gas giant.
      One terracompatible moon,named Kel'eri.
      Fuelscooping operations in orbit of giant.

      Rau'Chi Kel.
      A system with 2 asteroid bases.Rau and Chi.
      Lots of asteroids>mining operations.

      Rau'Ni Kel.
      One terracompatible world,Ri'Shau,and one totally useless lump of a moon which is so large&close; that it exerts a considerable tidal force on the rock of Ri'Shau.
      Local organisms have learned to adapt to this,but Skraine bases on Ri'Shau must be on hoverlifts.

      Ri'aal.
      This system holds a normal terracompatible world,named Ri'Akh.

      Xu'aan.
      Contains one barren planet in the process of terraforming,named Xu'qui.
      Currently covered in gunky green slime which smells funny.
      All habitation is in domes.

      Haru'El.
      This system contains the wormhole.
      And a station set up to guard it,Sentinel Starbase.
      Sentinel Starbase is one of the most heavily guarded bases in Skraine space,as it houses the majority of the Skraine Warfleet.

      Esponer mailed me to tell me to make a new sig weapon.
      So,I made one,or more precisely two:
      Firstly,the Plasma Pulse.A small outfit,this thing hooks into the plama core,and shoots blobs of plasma at incoming missiles.
      Also works on rockets,but not on Energy Leechs or Torpedos.
      The new weapon is the Plasma Web.
      A large sphere of plasma is shot towards an enemy ship.
      It hits the ship and wraps around it's shields,controlled by a laser array on the firing ship.
      The plasma web slowly burns away at the ships shields,burning faster if the ship has lower power shield generators.
      The Plasma Web does heavy damage to shields,but little to armour,and once it burns through the shields it quickly fizzles out anyway.
      Note that this tech has yet to be approved by Esponer ,so I'm not sure if it will work on Haorn Spectral Armour.

      I never said it was. 😛 I was referring to the Confederate Alliance of the Milky Way.

    • Here are the technologies for the Confederate Alliance..... sigh I'm going to miss having the MA. 🙂

      ------------

      CONFEDERATE ALLIANCE WEAPONS

      •Anti-Proton Turret/Cannon: An enhancement of the old Proton Weaponry, Anti-Proton Weaponry is powerpacked, but does even more damage to shields. It has a good reload, but even better range, outdistancing all primary weapons around.

      •Trans-Phasic Missile: You can't get much more powerful than this. With a high speed and average range, this missile also comes equipped with an emensely powerful damage rate. Like the Anti-Proton Turret and Cannon, it does most of its damage to shields. Though slightly bulky for a missile, they are an excellent weapon.

      •Photon Torpedo: The Photon Torpedo is the heavy artillary weapon of the Confeds. It has a high damage ratio (even more than the Trans-Phasic Missile), both to shields and armor, but it is hampered by the fact that it is somewhat bulky. It is also not extremely fast, but has an extremely good range.

      •Ion Disruptor Beam Cannon: The epitome of power in a beam weapon, the Ion Disruptor Beam Cannon is highly powerful and can tear whole frigates to shreds. The CA prefer to use it on smaller-type warships like the Corsair and Raven, and it works extremely well on these vessels.

      •Ion Disruptor Beam Turret: Even more incredibly powerful than the beam cannon, the Beam Turret, used only on the Alliance Flagship and Aurora Battleship, can blast even cruisers into small bits of carbonized atoms in mere minutes. It, like the Beam Cannon, fires in long bursts, and (despite being massively heavy) is a deadly weapon.

      •Renegade Fighter Bay: What more is there to say? It holds Renegade Battlefighters and launches them fast. 🙂

      -----------

      CONFEDERATE ALLIANCE VESSELS

      •Renegade Battlefighter
      Description: Extremely fast, second only to the Tribunal Phantom, the Renegade Battlefighter is armed to the teeth, is well shielded and armored, and at the same time demonstrates how the Confeds have an need for speed in all of their ships. Though usually just flying around with the fleet, Renegade Fighters can also be stored in the docking bays of the Alliance Flagship and Chimaera Carrier.
      Weapons: 4 Anti-Proton Cannons
      1 Trans-Phasic Missile Launcher - 4 Trans-Phasic Missiles

      •Corsair Assault Cruiser
      Description: Originally the Azdgari Warship, the Corsair has gone under major modifications and now looks little like the original AW. Also heavily armed, the Corsair is extremely fast for a ship of its size and can outmaneuver any other big or medium warship, including the Raven.
      Weapons: 4 Anti-Proton Turrets
      2 Trans-Phasic Missile Launchers (I didn't think it was necissary to put in the ammo count for larger warships)
      2 Ion Disruptor Cannons
      2 Photon Torpedo Launchers

      •Raven Battlecruiser
      Description: The ship that led the Mercenary Alliance to such great power, the Raven Battlecruiser is still as deadly as ever. Fast, well protected, and armed to the hilt with guns of every power, strength and range, the Raven is super-deadly. With the addition of the old Anti-Proton Cloaking Device, and the fact that all Ravens are painted to look black and sleek, these mighty warships bring fear into all who face them.
      Weapons: 6 Anti-Proton Turrets
      2 Trans-Phasic Missile Launchers - 60 Trans-Phasic Missiles
      2 Photon Torpedo Launcher - 40 Photon Torpedoes
      3 Ion Disruptor Cannons

      •Chimaera Carrier
      Description: When the MA first started, they had a relatively large supply of Voinian Cruisers, stolen by Carnotaur and Scorcher when they were beginning to first found the Mercenary Alliance. These ships were soon upgraded into Voi'Nek (Voinian word for "Goliath") Cruisers, the primary large, heavy-dutey warships of the MA until the Raven and Aurora Battleship became more and more popular. Now called the Chimaera Carrier, this massive warship carries a different objective; launching Renegade Fighters into battle and providing support fire for the main attack part of the fleet.
      Weapons: 5 Anti-Proton Turrets
      3 Trans-Phasic Missile Launchers
      1 Fighter Bay - 6 Renegade Fighters
      2 Photon Torpedo Launcher

      •Aurora Sierra Battleship
      Description: The Aurora Battleship, created by the genius of Admiral Scorcher, was the most powerful warship in existence for quite a long time. That is, until the Galactica Warcruiser came out. Still, the Aurora Sierra Battleship holds the record for the fastest warship of her size and the most powerful barrage of primary weapons with the exception of the Alliance Flagship Class Supercruiser.
      Weapons: 6 Anti-Proton Turrets
      2 Ion Disruptor Turrets
      3 Trans-Phasic Missile Launchers
      2 Photon Torpedo Launcher

      •Alliance Flagship
      Description: Once the Alliance Flagship of the failed "Alliance" thought up by former Azdgari emporer YooOe, the workers of the flagship were "Convinced" to continue work on the ship. Now it's the most powerful warship in existence, with only 10 in the whole CA navy, and serves as command ships for various admirals and fleet admirals. Hellishly armed, the Alliance Flagship brings fear into even the crews of Galactica Warcruisers.
      Weapons: 18 Anti-Proton Turrets
      5 Ion Disruptor Turrets
      3 Trans-Phasic Missile Launchers
      3 Fighter Bays - 18 Renegade Fighters
      2 Photon Torpedo Launchers

      Technologies of the Confeds will come later.

      I quite agree. And if I make any move against you, it will only be a Corsair bringing a request for an alliance. 🙂

    • Hmm...what to say...what to say...

      Carno, nice maps. You probably didn't have to put a Tribunal category on the Milky Way map, but it is possible that I will get a system, so....whatever. Is the Confeds' specialty speed? If it is, I'll whip you in that domain. Remember, my ships are built for raiding. 😄

      /me notices that Terran sensors can "detect the presence of a cloaked Tribunal ship." Grrrr. Ah well, they are Zeno... 😉

    • OK,Esponer says my sig tech can't be a weapon,and my brain is out of original ideas.
      That darn Plasma Web has sucked my brain dry.
      But I'm hoping to be allowed to keep my Plasma Pulse.
      And,Carno,you can probably make the Eta Cassiopia map smaller,because I won't be doing much exploring in it,maybe to about 3/4 jumps away from inhabited space,but could you mark on it all the uninhabited systems with good asteroid or ore deposits,or a terracompatible world?Please?
      And just do uninhabited system names in trinumeral groups,such as:
      258•915•769 ,which indcates the star's X,Y,and Z coordinates,and which is a much better way of classifying uninhabited stellars.Use the random function on a scientific calculator to get the numbers,if you like.

      BUT I need help thinking!Someone help me think of a sig tech,please!

      Another message to Carno:
      Should a Corsair make it through Ross 154 and into Eta Cassiopia,the Skraine will be most suprised.
      But friendly,all the same.

      A message to Asriel:
      When I asked who I would first meet if I sent a fleet into the Milky Way,Esponer told me that,aside from the Terrans,who are sealed off,the North Tip is controlled by the Renegades and the Tribunal.That's you!I'd talk to Espy about it,if I were you.

    • Shade, Carnotaur can't change the map. Also, Eta Cassiopea is more of a colonising zone for other governments. 🙂

      As for your sig (s), keep them.

      Asriel, the Milky Way map has been re-done, including Tribunal and changing a lot.

      There is ONE WAY into Eta Cassiopia,which is through the Wormhole,which ends in SKRAINE TERRITORY.
      We will NOT allow non-allied forces to travel through our space,thankyou very much.
      I mailed you with a sig tech idea,BTW.
      Not a weapon!

      Incorrect. A background development will enable most governments in the Milky Way to use a warp link to Eta Cassiopea. There's only one point in the Milky Way that is low enough on interference to do this - check the map, it's west of Voinian space.

      This leads out to the bottom right of Eta Cassiopea.

      As for your sig.tech, it's neat - keep it! 🙂

    • Okay, at last, my ship stats:
      3 proton turrets
      1 turreted fighter-missile launcher
      100 fighter-missiles*
      2 tractor beams
      2 repulsor beams
      2 SAD launchers
      60 SADs

      • Fighter-missiles are an up-to-date civilian munitional weapon. They are fast, more deadly than pursuit missiles were, and very effective at eliminating fighters. - Esponer

      "Are you sure the powers off?"

    • Sorry all. After having just talked with Esponer, I'm going to drop out of RoC III (before ever actually really joining, of course). Too much of this, coming in late, for me to absorb, understand, and write about, especially as my Team Design Physics Lab is just heating up. I'll still probably follow it, but my understanding is not up to the par with which I need to participate. Ahh, you probably won't even notice me not posting anyway, who am I kidding? 😄

    • Esponer,you got the map wrong AGAIN.
      I have clearly stated the systems I have,as well as what bases are in them,further up this page.
      They state the systems,and which one has the wormhole in it.
      It is Haru'El and Haru'El has Sentinel Starbase in it!
      no more of this Porthos or Skrineen stuff,if you will.
      But thanks for the sig tech:
      To people who are not Esponer,it is the Battle Transporter(I'm trying to think of a better name).
      It will transport the ship on which it is installed anywhere up to about 20,000 Kilometers away.
      In normal ship running conditions,the Battle Transporter is kept primed to jump.
      However after a Battle Transporter jump has been made,it takes a long time to recharge.
      Thus it can be used as a method for getting close to a ship to pound it with heavy weapons,or a way of making a hasty retreat in the face of overwhelming odds.
      I'll probably be developing more short-range,heavy weaponry near the beginning of RoC 3.
      It is installed on Tempests,Whirlwinds and Cyclones.
      Now I've gotta think of a name
