Since a forum bug/Azdara Ace killed the last topic, I made this one. It's titled Discussion because we are so close to starting a few days won't matter, and who really wants to see BFSIII Pertinent Info V?

"The tyranny of the Human Confederacy shall not last long. Soon, the tyrants will be overthrown and a new age will be proclaimed!" Chieftain spl_cadet shortly before the Great Offensive.
Can some one explain to me what has been going on here in the last month without the use of links?

Well, we have established most of the technology new to this story since BFS2, and many new ships and weapons have been introduced. (Go to the BFS3 homepage to find out details) Because you asked, I won't link you
If you were here for the first BFSIII Pertinent Info topic, then you basically know who is on which side and what the story is about. Mainly we have been refining the story for this go around so it will become less hectic. For specifics, I'm afraid you may have to find someone who knows a bit more about the story then me.

150 Ghosts, eh spl? You'll rue that decision. Is Cheiftan, from your sig, your correct rank? That's what I'm using for now.
Map updated with two new fleets. If you can't find General Rak's, try the little scroll arrows at the bottom of your screen. 
Unfortunately, I don't think I'm going to have time to get any weapons yards up tonight. Might get the HC one done, but that would even be a bit of a stretch with the time I have left.

And you'll rue the day you underestimated them.

But I only have another half hour available to work on it. :frown:
As for the Ghost, since I examine everything to figure out prices, I know the strengths and weaknesses of almost everything quite well. I have a good counter for them prepared.
I assume your lack of response to the rank question should be interpreted as an affirmative?

I was wondering if perhaps the introduction of supply lines into the webstory would be a good idea or not. It would give the story a bit more realism, and it would certainly add in a bit more strategic maneuvering on behalf of all players. It might also limit unrealistic strikes deep into enemy territoy on either side, and maybe we could figure something out for unsupported fleets, for instance, they can only travewl a certain distance, before they have to return to friendly lines in order to refuel.
The only con I can think of is the added layer of complexity it would add, but other then that... I'd like to see what you think.

Mac, cadet's rank is Chieftan. Here is the Pirate ranking system, from the top-down:
Warlord
Mercenary
Chieftan
Freelancer
Yes. It is a short set. We are pirates and don't need all the ponderous levels of beauracracy those other governments have. While you guys are trying to see who has the most stripes on their uniform ... we are getting things done!

With all due respect, I think this is ... moot. As an evil mean and nasty pirate, if I need to refuel when I am too far from one of our systems, I simply takeover a nearby system. Problem solved, Matey. Arrgh!!!

Double post... oh well. Mac, I didn't see a thing about scoring on the rules. I'm a Newbie at this (I have RPGed before), and have no idea about scoring.

There is no 'scoring.' It is just winning and having fun.

Mostly winning, at least for the HC.
Azdara Ace, I hate to disappoint you, but My claim on spl_cadet's Ghosts predates yours. You're going to have to get through Sentarus ~damn~ fast if you want there to be any left for you to sweep up.
Zen - that supply route idea is a bit different from what I thought you were talking about over email. To some extent, it already exists. Reread the section about fleet movement. They'll be able to refuel at any captured planets behind enemy lines, but not in open space.
I need to update the rules today too, there are a few inaccurate things now. Just as well Skyblade's and Azdara are taking a while on Dreden tech, because I'm starting to thik I could be a while yet. :frown:
Of course, a while yet now means a matter of a week, perhaps, not untold months.

Stop doing whatever it was that made your karma get lowered, and your karma will go up by one point for every twenty posts you make until it reaches zero again, assuming you don't do anything that causes someone to lower it again.

Was there something else exactly you had in mind? I'm sure there would be other effects that would be introduced by this... and no matter how evil and mean you are KK, I don't see how you would be able to get fuel for your entire fleet unless you took over the whole plaent, which you can only do in moderation anyways.
But I'm thinking maybe we should just scrap the idea so we wouldn't have to keep track of fuel status as much, or watch our supply lines.
