I've been gone from these boards for a while... (a year maybe?) so if webstories are no longer allowed, pardon me.

I would like to propose a new webstory. It takes place in the EVO universe, but just 30 years after the strands recieved a foothold. The Voinians have more space than ever, but the Humans have only explored to half of their present-day space. They use mines. The Emalgha are only now being enslaved for the first time.

Humans have no blaze or rocket technology, but they do have a weapon similiar to the emalgha cannons. Basically, a limited-ammo machine gun. Not strong at all compared to the blaze weapons, but the renegades only have 2 planets. (ruler can choose... but they have freeport.)

The strand renegades are fairly established, but they only have phase weapons and tractor and repulsor beams. The miranu have the same..

The strands are currently researching on their custom weaponry...

Lets see... I'll control the Voinians, just because I have experiance.. They'll start out stronger but I'll play them to have a disadvantage and won't be too hostile.

If anyone's interested, reply so I can get an idea of the support the story has.
-----------------------------------

I'll join. And as such I'll be Azdgari.

P.S. What about the Hinawar?

I am not sure if this is the appropriate time to start up a webstory. We all have school to do, developing to do...

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

Count me in, but I'm not sure who I want to play. I haven't been to busy lately.

To err is human.
To err and blame it on someone else, is even more human.

Hrrmmmm
There is a current bar/webstory going on in this board, you might want to check that out first.. Although its very different from a webstory, they go very far and can get pretty interesting (go to the Albatross, interesting things start going on about page 16 or 15)

------------------
"WE ARE THE POPES OF THE PYROS!!" "WE ARE THE CRUSADERS OF CAPELLA!!" "THE FRIARS OF FIRE!!" "THE BAPTISTS OF BORAL 1!!!!" "THE CATHOLIC KILLERS OF NEW CALCUTTA!!!!!!" "WE ARE THE GOOD!! no.. no... THE BAD!!! yeah.. thats it.. THE BAD CATHOLICS!!!"

While your posts certainly have had an extra leap out effect recently, I can't help but wonder if you're just too lazy to close the (/b) tag, Bomb.

The Hinwar are currently enslaved, but I will control them. They may rebel... but I'll have to see how the story goes. Also, the Azdgari have azdaras, but they aren't much more than slightly faster crescent fighters... no all-powerful shields yet.

As far as everyone being busy, I'm busy too... This won't be incredibly fast paced, but I'll probably be posting once a day, and only on weekdays. If you can post at least 3 times a week, you'll be up to date with everyone else.

I'll also be controlling the council... but you'll have to wait and see if they play a part or not.
Borb is in his 20's... so we might get a brief history of him if you're lucky. If we get 3 more players, we'll start.

Here are the races we HAVE to have players for:
2 strands... (halfway there. )
UE...
Miranu...
Voinians (taken care of)...

I'd like someone to control the Human Renegades (Come on, they don't have to be weaklings... You have a clean slate.. make them all-powerful if you want. Steal miranu designs or something. I'll help with OOC developments..)

I can control the NT renegades...but they're fun... someone else should play them.

Did somebody say "webstory"? I'll take Igadzra, I've never played them before.

How are you working research, ship counts, stuff like that? And do you have a map yet? If it takes place that early, the Strand territories will probably be different.

I've been convinced to take the Zidagar. I wont be going for my normal obliterate all resistance, but more of a roleplay. I will react to acts that skim the OOC boundries though. Those just annoy me.

------------------
If someone makes a mistake, it is not my fault. I will however use it to my advantage.

Well, Asriel, Ship counts will be taken care of by me... but numbers will only be as important as the tech level... since right now the strongest non-mod race is flying around in miranu freighters with a single crappy phase beamer and maybe 2 phase turrets...

Numbers don't really matter all that much yet, since a fleet of a couple dozen of any decent warship out of EVO could conquer all the current strands...

So what ships do we have? Aradas and freighters?

------------------
(url="http://"http://members.tripod.com/lunarproductions/tc.html")Phoenix(/url).

The aradas have just been developed, but not by any controlled race. You'll see it when it pops into the story...

Freightors, miranu couriers, and a version of a shuttle. (Basically a slightly upgraded model of the ship that they used to first go into orbit...)

OK, As a representive of the azdgari (I am not aware they have a TRUE leader) I shall be known as Aza'nori. I will take the place of A high ranking and respected azdgari general. Backgroung Info will come later.

Well if you want them to have a true leader, then they will. If you don't, then they won't. The govt's just forming so you can do whatever you want.

**Actually, I've been doing this for months. Ask the other mods. As a matter of fact, it requires more work than being lazy and not closing tags.

I'd like to join the Azdgari at Vlsitor's side. A somewhat well-known, humble subordinate, Captain Falcanad.

Sure! I'll coordinate where the battles will be and you'll decide the outcome with your own persoal flavor.

Ok, it will be a LOT easier if everyone has AIM.. or at least yahoo,
since I will have to approve all research and constructions.
Although I will try to keep this as simple as possible, we will have to keep track of a couple things... like ship counts, hyperjump times, and research.. Here are the counts.
UE: 25 Shuttles, , 7 Transporters, 5 Freightors
Voinians: 8 Cruisers, 15 Frigates, 15 Fighters
Igadzra: 8 upgraded miranu Couriers, 6 upgraded miranu freightors
Zidigar: 10 Miranu Shuttles (similiar to UE shuttles, only unarmed, and twice as big.) 15 upgraded miranu fighters, 6 upgraded carriers
Azdgari: 10 Miranu Shuttles, 25 upgraded miranu fighters, 4 upgraded miranu heavy freightors
Miranu: 15 Miranu Shuttles, 45 Miranu Fighters
Council: ??
Human Renegades: Non-Existant

Constructions and Research will be done per day... You must declare constructions and keep up with them. example, at the end of your post would be:
------------------------------------
(Government Name) Shipyards Constructions
(number) (ship type).
ETC: (Estimated Time to Completion...in days. ETC)

Jump Times will be 1 jump per day, whether it's a fleet or a scoutship. If you want to move all your ships into one system, you will have to count the jump times for ships on the opposite side of your govt.

You don't have to post every time, just to it like the constructions...
---------------------------
Fleet Movements:
3 UE Shuttles from (system) to (system)
ETA: 4 days.

Massing all other ships to the Sol System
ETA: 3 days.

Research will be done the same way, but you will just have to ask. For the most part, it goes like this:
small outfit development (fuel tanks, extended scanners to entire system, fuel scoops)
2 days

large outfit development (making mass expansions more effective, really good outfits)
4 days

Small Weapon Development: 3 days (like a really crappy primary weapon)

Large Weapon Development: (increasing the damage, range, or firing rate by up to 1.5)
6 days

New weapon development: Depends.

Small Ship Design (fighters, customized arada) 7 days

Large ship design: Depends.
