You may be surprised at how fast the actual topic will move, even if it's just you and I posting at times.

Alright, since Kaptain Karl is a pirate, we can go ahead and start the game without him. When he posts his fleet and selects a system, we'll go ahead and add him to the map. But then again, if he decides to select an off-map location, it wouldn't be a problem going ahead and starting anyway...

I'd like to ask whether Macavenger is letting me have the position of the shipbuilder. If he does not, then I'd enter the game myself as Alien fleet commander

I'll make sure to get a certain answer from him next time he visits. Since the actual topic is already underway, he needs to make a decision...

Excellent! That is very good news...Hopefully the other members here with modem problems can try using Netscape instead of IE to load the images. If they have access to Netscape, that is...

OK, I officially give Clueless Alien Shipbuilder. I don't think I'll get enough experience with Strata fast enough to do as good of a job as I want. I would like to collaborate on stats for the ships though.

Certainly. Since you are president of the aliens, you must first ask clueless to create a new weapon, and you must give him the stats. Simple as that.

Um, do I still pick what ships the Aliens build (with in game money), as president, or do I have to wait for Clueless? Can't remember.

You build them yourself.

Since you are president, you are responsible for purchasing all alien vessels and distributing them to your warfleets. The shipbuilder simply designs new vessels, and the weapon's developer designs new weapons.

A little clarification here, who exactly is arbitrating battles? Thread moderators? Do we have any mods except Skyblade and I? I still am one, right?

Just you and I for now. If I did decide to select more thread moderators, it would likely be someone sorta like David Arthur.

I was just examining the pirate ships, and realized how weak they are in comparison to the alien/human ships. One of the main changes I was think of is giving the SuperKestrel amazing manueverability. That would equalize its low shields. Also upgrading the kestrel to modified class D specifications. Here are the updated stats-

Ship Name: Atinoda Kestrel-D
Cost: 10.00 million credits

Speed: 225
Accel: Average
Turn: Average
Shields: 400
Armor: 200
Guns: Maximum of 6
Turrets: Maximum of 4
Space: 0 tons
Cargo: 80 tons
Fuel: 7 jumps
Length: 80 m
Mass: 230 tons
Crew: 196

Standard weapons:
2 Torpedo Launcher + 50 Torpedos
2 Missile Racks + 10 Missiles
4 Proton Turrets
2 Lightning Fighters-Bombers
1 Flare Rack + 50 Flares
1 Missile Jammer

I just updated the superkestrel stats...It's just a matter of time before Mac gets the updated graphics online.

They're pretty good now, thanks. We pirates have a problem: I don't think we have a good graphics person. I can conceptualize weapons and ships, but I can't actually design them cause I don't have a graphics system.

Grunadulater: Are you good with graphics?

Grunadulater, you need to give the pirate commanders warfleet #'s and stars.
