Hmmm...it looks like Mac and Skyblade added the Pirates to BFS III,and now noone is playing for them anyway.
Perhaps we should just ignore them.

I asked this before,but didn't get any answr,so I'll ask it again:
how long is it between the end of BFS II and the beginning of BFS III?
I need at least a year for a neat plot device.
Don't worry,it won't affect gameplay.

All ye Aliens:
I no longer require your IDs and stuff.
I've collated your stats,and the list of Imperial commanders is:

Grundulater

Asriel

Scalebone

Rebel Council

And your freindly neibourhood Emperor,Shade.

Do please let me know if I've missed anyone?

But if he were in my fleet, I might give him the honor of ship's cook or cabin cleaner.

Shade- Let's just say that episode III occurs (or starts) a few months following the discovery of the jumpgate and defeat of the aliens in the Milky Way.

Current players of the Dreden Rebellion:

Mike
Saint
Jimbob
Hunter
UE Crusader

While I am glad to have a very good webstory participant involved (UE Crusader), the rest of my players have never participated in any of the Battle for Sol webstories. Oh well, everyone gets experience sooner or later.

Long live the Alien empire!

Rebel Council,your name was last because I took about 5 minutes to remember what it was this lunch break.
Sorry.
I blame it on those hideous Microserf antiques,making me think slower.

OK then,how long is it between the Battle of Levo and the beginning of BFS III?
I have a neat idea,and I don't want to let it go.
Maybe six months would do.

Hey, I tried. Maybe we don't need any pirates.

No, I'd gladly be your cook!

Just forget it. I'm sure you have other important business to attend to.

After thinking about it some, we might eventually move you to the pirates, and kick a player or 2 from the Dreden over to the Aliens and/or HC. This is all just my weird speculating for now, of course. But I think it's in the best interests of the Aliens for there to be a few pirates.

I'm guessing KK stopped watching this thread, because he didn't really think it would be that good without pirates or something. Maybe one of you ex-pirates could e-mail him and let him know that we've added them?

We would use the newest BFS II Pirate tech, correct? I'm assuming that these pirates are in the Milky Way, and not the Sentaurus galaxy.

I'll try to get ahold of KK's email, and tell him.

(edit)KK has now been emailed.(/edit)

If they are using the latest technology, that would mean they would have the buster cannon. The pirates would be a little more dangerous at the beginning then. I'll be a pirate if you guys want me to. I'll be more fair in my posts this time around. I got frustrated with our ships being totally outclassed. At the very least I can do some graphics work for them.

My plot idea is this:
The old Emperor of the Sentaurus galaxy was inneficient and innefectual,not to mention insane.
War-Emperor Macavenger died in the Battle of Levo,and the alien fleet commanders retreated through the Jumpgate,leaving the majority of their fleets to slow down the HC.
Back in Sentaurus,it takes me at least six months to get enough support from the Navy to assasinate the Emperor's advisers,who are the real power in the Empire,and have myself appointed Heir to the Emperor.
After the convenient death of the Emperor,I ascend the throne,and then BFS III can begin.
But for all that,I need several months,preferably half a year.

...........................ZZZIP!.................CRASH!!!!!

(Arrgh!!! I gotta get that thing fixed.)

I just received an email from Lord A. He used to be "Sattomax" -- I wonder what happened there??? Did it hurt? Did they have to, huh, "cut" anything? (Okay, I'm finished with that train of thought...)

Okay, BFS III now is admitting pirates, huh? Without reading the whole thread this is what I've gleaned:

• Limited to the Milky Way
• Start with last tech from BFS II .. a "what?" cannon would then be part of this? I don't remember that weapon.
• From early III posts I know Skyblade and Mac have restricted pirate capability. How? What will the new pirate rules be? (Arrgh! As if pirates follow rules anyway....)

Those are my questions, Maties. What's the scoop? I'll let you know if KK's "in".

Kap'n Karl- I haven't yet written any rules for the pirates, so for now, just think of them as they were in episode II, only they have better ships and weapons in episode III.

So, are you giving us all-new ships and weapons, or do we use the latest tech from BFS II?
