Well, I would really like to use Carno's space if possible...We both have extremely fast connections, so going back and forth with graphics and uploading them won't take much time. But if Christian can't afford any free space, I'll consider your offer. Thanks.

Just so you know, I have cable too. So I think I also fit in the extremely fast connection category.

Oh well, since you seem to be online very often, and if you don't mind me constantly sending you images for updates, mind if I go ahead and send you the images? I'll stuff them if you like, since they are all around 100k or more. If you do want to host them, would you mind sending my the links as well? Thanks...

Sure, you can send them to me. I have StuffIt Expander 6.0.1, so anything that can do is fine for stuffing (Note: I'm not an expert on compressing files, obviously ). I'll mail you links back once I get them posted, probably later this afternoon.

Roger that, I'll go ahead and send you the files...They are still 1.9mb compressed.

Does one need to be up to date on all those posts from the first BFS thread to participate?

Or is merely reading the rules here sufficient?

I ask because you people seem immersed in a "super-EV" jargon for ships/weapons/and even story line.

P.S. Very cool map and pics, Joseph. (You have WAY too much time on your hands. )

I don't have plenty of time on my hands, just enough to get some graphics done. Summer vacation is just about over, so I want to spend as much time in graphics before I have to start getting serious about homeschooling again.

I'll probably be a pirate then -- since it seems as if you need one or two more. But I cannot give you my fleet data until I can get back into the shipyard link. Let us know when it's active again....

Roger that...Since we do know you want to be a pirate, however, there are three positions you can choose from: Ship Designer, Weapons Developer, or Fleet Commander. The leader position has already been taken...

Depending on when Mac gets my images on the web, you should be able to view the current shipyards within a few hours.

macavenger, you need to add my fleet and kaptain karls when hes done.
kaptain karl, you need to make player stats.

------------------
I bet there darn tasty to.

Okay, we obviously need more pirates. Therefore, I am now a pirate.

Initials: SV

Rank: Fleet Admiral

Starting system: off the map

Fleet:
1 SuperKestrel
40 Corvettes
50 Rapiers
55 Lightnings
Total: 146

Can we have multiple SuperKestrels, or just one?

------------------
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
People who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.

nope just one

------------------
I bet there darn tasty to.

Shipyards are back up, Skyblade will probably update his sig soon, but for now, here are links.

(url="http://"http://members.home.net/e-gamerguy1/ev/bfs2/TheUnfinishedWarMap.jpg")Map(/url)

(url="http://"http://members.home.net/e-gamerguy1/ev/bfs2/pirate/PirateShipyard.html")Pirate Shipyard(/url)

And the new section, weapons galleries for each race. No descriptions or stats now, though we might add them, not sure yet.

(url="http://"http://members.home.net/e-gamerguy1/ev/bfs2/alien/AlienWeapons.html")Alien Weapons(/url)
(url="http://"http://members.home.net/e-gamerguy1/ev/bfs2/human/HumanConfederationWeapons.html")Human Weapons(/url)
(url="http://"http://members.home.net/e-gamerguy1/ev/bfs2/pirate/PirateWeapons.html")Pirate Weapons(/url)

Also, Skyblade, I think the Alien Battlecruiser and Rebel Carrier are underpriced, I'd say they're worth at least 75 or 100 million. You might want to cahnge the prices.

I just went through the topic here and took some notes on who's who.
We currently have 5 Humans, 3 Aliens, and 3 Pirates. Sattomax, are you sure you want to leave us? I'd love to have you back.
We need revised fleet stats from Tycho Maudd, yours is still to big. It ain't gettin' any smaller on it's own.
Also need fleet stats from KK, though I understand there since the 'yard has been down. It's back up now, see my previous post.

I'd also like, for the puposes of my notes, for the Presidents (Skyblade, grunadulater, and myself) to start giving their commanders ranks, 1 to 5 star Admirals is the system we're using, I think. President is above everyone, of course. For now, RC is 3 star and Shade is 2 star on the Aliens, subject to change.

Alright, thanks to Mac, all the links in my signature are now working. Thanks for the space, Mac! I'll try to send you an updated version of the map soon...

I'd like to ask that from this point on, everyone keep the positions you started with. It gets very confusing if you keep switching governments. Any changes up to this post will be accepted, though.
