    • Ship: Canadeean* Baitship

      Shield: 900
      Weapon 1: Defence Flak
      Range and speed: Nearly Infinate, but damage dimimishes with range
      Damage: Max, 150, min, 10
      Weapon 2: none
      Special:Time distorter.
      Allows time to move in irregular bursts for the Baitship, so the ship(and other friendly ships near it), to the hostile ships, seems to move at constantly changing speed.
      Range: Depends on energy used

      • the Canadeean race can be used as the Pirates.

      The Journalist, with the latest news.

    • Those are some great ideas and all, but they don't really fit the plug, as we're doing a TC, which (as Patrick said before, but I don't think you saw that post) means Total Conversion, which means that absolutely everything in Ares is going to be replaced. And we've also planned that there's only one alien race, and they use older, crappier versions of ships from one of the human groups that they've captured. Sorry, but your ideas just don't fit. You could make a plug to use them, though.

      Some things that Patrick and I agreed on on GR, and other people can give advice on, too:

      - Twenty missions per side, with the sides that have missions being the three colonist factions, the barbarians, and the astrominers. (Total of 100 singleplayer missions.)

      - Colonist faction 3 ends up surrendering to the earth forces at about mission 12, and the rest of their missions are working for the earth's military.

      - The pirates steal working FTL technology from the earth forces. They know from the pirates in the Sol system that pirating earth ships is extremely hard (due to their FTL drives, they can just warp away when pirates attack), so they share the technology with the colonist factions. However, they know that it'd be easier for them if the colonist factions didn't know about each other, so they don't tell them. The two surviving colonist factions begin invading Sol (Bases of importance are in Jupiter and on its moons, in the asteroid belt, on Luna, and on earth. This is because, at any given time, half of the planets in the solar system are on the opposite side of Sol as Earth, and most of the rest are way off to the sides of where any given invasion fleet would arrive.), and realize that they both exist. They work out an agreement, and work together, combining their entire fleets and throwing them at Earth.

      - The Earth's military holds back the invasion, and has a pretty small fleet left. The colonist factions start rebuilding their fleets and build up their defense stations in the final missions' epilogues.

      - The astrominers work out a treaty with whatever colonist faction is in their system, and agree to help rebuild things quickly. Half of them use the FTL technology to go to the second surviving colonist faction's system and help rebuild.

      - The barbarians continue to raid cities and stations in their system. Seeing as neither cities nor stations can warp, they don't care who wins the war.

      - The aliens begin a bitter war with Earth. The pirates try to help them without actually getting permission, as they're afraid the aliens will try to kill them if they give them the opportunity. The aliens are grateful for the help, and realize that not all humans are the same, but are afraid of the pirates making a backstab, so they don't pursue contact. Their forces gladly fight alongside the pirates, though.

    • Some History To each race:
      EF- Global Republic of Earth- GRE
      Formed shortly following WWIII. The UN proposed a new style of democratic government under which the nations would become states in their own right, in turn governed by a senate. This became known as the “One Earth” policy. This was widely adopted by the weary nations of earth, who never wanted to see war again.

      CF1- Syn'iena Faction- SF
      For many years the people who came from earth on Colony Ship#1, were at peace with the Global Republic of Earth and it’s policy's. The large and industrial system of Sirus provided the people a prosperous living. However, the people of Sirus were growing more and more upset at the way the GRE restricted the mining of the resources of the sirus system. A small band of militants, revolted, in a suicide attack, using small shuttles crammed with explosives, rammed into the GRE embassy vessel docked to the orbital station. The people of sirus took up arms to throw off their GRE oppressors, the GRE, tired of war, granted the people of sirus their freedom.

      CF2- The Free Worlds of Jados- FWJ
      Named after the heroic captain Jados P. Anderson of Colony Ship#2, Who saved his crew from death by a reactor explosion.

      CF3- Centurians- CNT
      (Mag Steelglass should do this)

      B- Hodrim's Freedom Fighters- HFF
      Names by some of his colleges in honor of Hodrim T. Yiquson, the wealthy billionaire that bought and funded the Freedom Fighters group. Seeking to bring back the government to the uncorrupted state that it use to be.

      P- National Fighters for Free Trade- NFT
      Angered by the high tariffs and taxes imposed on the colonies by the GRE, a group of bandits raid GRE ships with high regularity. They call themselves the National Fighters for Free Trade because they fight for trade without taxes. Or so they say... Sometimes they raid other ships just for the booty.

      How exactly was the GRE supposed to govern a system lightyears away without FTL travel or communications? Don’t forget that only the GRE has FTL travel and only the pirates have FTL comm systems. Also, the GRE doesn’t get FTL until maybe 1-2 years before the plug starts.

      Well this seems a lot too “clean” for the barbarians that Mag and I sketched out. If they were real freedom fighters, why bother raiding and destroying random stations on the edge of CF2’s system?

      Well #1 this would limit them to being in Sol, when they are supposed to be in Sol, Sirus, Centauri, and CF2’s system.

      My versions of the histories, feel free to criticize:

      EF- Global Republic of Earth- GRE
      After a rather out-of-hand “conflict”, an accidentally launched ICBM triggered a nuclear war which left much of the developed world a radioactive wasteland. The enormous economic recession caused even more damage, resulting in a global depression lasting almost a decade. The remaining nations formed a loose economic confederacy to fight the recession- the GRE. The leaders of the GRE were of course not satisfied with their weak economic power, and the sovereignty of the nations has slowly eroded over the past four centuries. The Republic’s ministries of Economy and Defense now control most of the power in their respective sectors and the GRE military have “taken care of” any holdouts to absolute GRE power. Several recent amendments to the Republic charter have had the disturbing effect of concentrating power into the hands of a privileged few...

      The GRE discovers the secret of a workable FTL drive two years before the plug begins. As the Sol system has begun to suffer from overpopulation and a lack of easily accessable natural resources as well as the eroding tax base, the military leaders of the GRE hatched a plan to solve all three:

      Use the ever-expanding GRE military to search down the colony ships launched over 450 years ago, the GRE will conquer the colonies, which will provide:

      1. A new and larger tax base formed of the citizens of the colonies.
      2. Pre-setup mining operations which were already in place in the system.
      3. A place to dump the surplus citizens of the lower classes which are slowly but surely dragging the Republic down with welfare payments to the masses of people who can’t find work or are unqualified to work.

      CF3- Centaurian People’s Republic- CPR
      The colony ship carring the CPR colonists to Centauri had an uneventful voyage and managed to survive with it’s human cargo intact. The resource-rich Centauri system was a godsend to the colonists.

      However, there was something in their way: an alien race

      Inhabiting the richest planet in the system, the Mycenians were in the CPR’s way. Fourty years after the colonists arrived in the system, the Mycenians turned down a “treaty” that would have made them slaves to all intents and purposes. Two weeks later, CPR troops attacked Mycenia. The campaign was brutal and swift. The technology of the Mycenians was roughly eqivalent to 2001 AD Earth’s, far less advanced than the 22nd century technology of the CPR. The standing Mycenian forces were quickly destroyed, and the resource-rich equator of the planet was rapidly fortified against any assaults on the strip-mining operations there.

      However, the Mycenians had cunning to match that of the humans, and only a decade later they, using stolen CPR technology, overran the last CPR fortification at the aptly named town of New Alamo.

      The Mycenians retain a bitter hatred of the humans due to the sufferings they faced at the hands of the CPR, and a bitter and neverending war has raged across Centauri ever since.

      too lazy to write any more, heh.

      A rift line is a place where the ship can open up. If this thing can change into a battle hulk, then there should be some cracks that open up to reveil the new weapons. It's just a sugestion for detail.

      unless you got anything better?

      (quote)Well this seems a lot too “clean” for the barbarians that Mag and I sketched out. If they were real freedom fighters, why bother raiding and destroying random stations on the edge of CF2’s system?(/quote)

      Of course, the freedom fighters care nothing about how they achieve their goal. They will do ANYTHING to achieve their goal. They attacked those stations becuase they contained arms supplys, they don't care that there were civilians on the stations that got killed.
      Again, anything better will be fine with me.

      Well, there were people in all systems who resented the taxes imposed by their government.(/QUOTE)
      Anybody think of other reasons?

      ------------------
      Truth is a double edged sword,
      with it the ignorant newbie is beaten,
      with it your mistakes are exposed.

    • For the Barbarians:

      My idea for them was that they used to be a group of pirates - a very successful one. After a while, individual freighters weren't very profitable, so they began building combat-oriented fleets and sacking cities and stations. They also attack a few very large convoys, but not often.

      Mycenians (I think "Centaurians" would be better, as that's how aliens are named in most things):

      It's not just remembering their suffering, but they also group all humans into one group, and consider them all dangerous and warlike. When they see ships of other human groups, they attack them, as they think that they are just the same as CF3. Also, their ships are slightly worse than CF3's, as any given ship was captured a while ago, and new versions of it have come out since. We should make their graphics very similar to the graphics of CF3, but looking slightly different and older. Some of their ships have assault shuttles that can capture other ships in combat.

      Astrominers (we've covered it before, but while we're doing all factions, we may as well bring it up):

      Pirates love the astrominers. They have tons of valuable minerals, and ships that aren't combat oriented. The astrominers do have one class of fighter, though, to defend them, but it isn't very successful. They have tried many times to get military ships stationed near their operations to protect them, but failed. Eventually, they went on strike. Seeing as governments don't like strikes, military ships were sent out to break up the strike. Fighting broke out, and it's basically become a war. Each side has recordings that show that the other side started the fight, so nobody knows who it was.

      Pirates:

      I think that they are basically greedy people who want cash, and know that travelling ships carry many valuable things, and that stopping the ships and stealing all of the valuable things off of them can lead to great profit, so they have become pirates. Nothing particularly special. Besides, if they wanted free trade, raiding ships would only make trading less profitable, as some of the ships you were sending in any given trade would be hit by pirates.

    • Colonist Faction 3 (6 ships):
      Some fast, tough ships with decent short-range weapons, and some slower, weaker ships with powerful support weapons. No cloaks for the brawlers, yes cloaks for the supporters. No warp.

      Fighter:
      Shields: 130
      Turn: 2.5
      Speed: 11
      Warp: 0

      Energy: 10 Dir range: 0
      Other: none
      Beam: Configure for Invasion
      Turns it into a transport with the same stats as this, but is a transport. Since it’s just a fighter, instead of fully capturing a planet, it alters its occupation count by 1, like an EVAT.
      Special: Configure for Boarding
      Turns it into an EVAT with the same stats as this, but is an EVAT. It has no weapons except for the beam type 2. Seeing as it would be more effective than a standard EVAT, it alters occupation count by two, instead of one.

      Rapid: 30 Ammo: ?
      Energy: 8 Dir range: 30
      Other: Has a maximum speed of 20, and accelerates over time, just like lepton beams. Is indigo, and makes a bunch of indigo sparks, like the cantharan HVD weapon, when it hits stuff.

The transport’s special weapon becomes an EVAT launcher, so you target it to a station an tell it to activate special to capture stations. Or we could set its arrive sequence so that it launched EVATs at stations, too.

      Actually, we had the opportunity to talk him into implementing some more. But we found that we didn't actually need any more. I think we figured Alter BuildFlags could be useful, but didn't need it.

      And I've started work on the UESG revamp again.
      I know Darkk has been playing around with POV's new features, but I don't know about working on models.
