I've added the Dreden graphics to the weapons page. I'm also converting the pages from html/font tags to xhtml/css, so you may notice a few changes popping up semi-randomly, such as w00t rollovers and and the title attributes on the map - so if you hold your mouse over a fleet, it should pop up a little box to show you who commands it. It also means that the pages will probably look like **** in any browser with style sheets turned off, so turn them on if they aren't.

(edit) It also appears that Netscape 4 doesn't like some of the style sheets I'm using even with them turned on. I'll fix that eventually, but it may not look so hot in Netscape for a litle while. (/edit)

Oh, we've got the rules established, we just need players. Take a look at the Homepage link in my sig. And please join the Aliens!

One last thing, do you need a fast connection to participate? Because if you do, I don't think it would work well on my computer...well I'll go check out your homepage now.

Whatever connection you use to get to the webboards is fine. Battle for Sol is played out through the webboard.
And does anyone want to place bets on how quickly this will dissolve into chaos? I'm saying 200 posts.

Hey, I read through your site and it looks awesome! Well, sure I'd like to participate, but why are there question marks next to the people who are in the alien empire? Also, are the alien empires allied with the pirates/renegades? It looks like that the confeds with there huge revenue could just win a war of attrition against the few pirate systems.

The question marks by the Alien players are because we haven't seen any of them for a while. Another reason we desperately need more Aliens.

Alien Empire isn't allied with anyone yet, though they've been thinking about allying with the Pirates.

The HC probably won't overwhelm the Pirates right away, because they have a two front war with them and the Aliens. Plus, spl_cadet thinks his puny little Macross is going to beat us. Heh.

Puny?

You call that puny? Your crappy HC ships are no match for the Pirates. Why don't you just admit it?

Mac: It's immpossible to see the Dreden weapons because they are all black on a black backround. If you could put them on a white square or something, or just brighten the page, that'd be awesome.

I agree. They're way too dark, especially on my monitor which is darker than normal.

P.S. I checked the Macross Stats and Republic Carrier stats. Republic Carrier wins easily.

Try looking at the weapon stats as well. And if it still that way then Mac is going to have some explaining to do about the pricing.

Ah, but the Aliens are fighting a 2 front war with the Dreden and the HC as well... but the map looks awesome...is there only 1 link between the galaxies? Are there any specific guidelines for battle simulation? Anyhow, I want to join Macman, so what should i do?

------------------

Hmmm...I can see the weapons fine. Also, part of the problem is that Mac changed them to a lower quality format before posting them. They looked better before, but oh well, if it speeds up the loading time, it doesn't really matter.

Yeah, that was the point, I'm using all GIFs, and the damn things only support 256 colors. :mad: Aside from that failing, they 0wn JPEGs, though. I might increase the brightness on them if it's a big problem.

Carno - Macross wins against Republic. HNRs are like homing Space Bombs, and the Toilet Paper turrets do more damage. But we have other ways of dealing with them...

Because some of the HC fleets are far more than a match for you. I suppose I shouldn't expect you to admit it though, because advanced tatics are clearly beyond your grasp.

Yes, though I suppose opening new portals in the story isn't totally out of the question.

Just try to be fair. Read over BfS II if you want a rough idea of how this works.

Just tell me what ships you want in your Alien fleet (under the 600/200 guidelines mentioned in the rules), and where you want to start. Based on some prior placements rebel council has done, I'd suggest either Pax or Zom, but it's mostly up to you.

Nope. Republic carries 1,200 fighters. Macross carries 200. 1,200 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 200. Need I say more?

The fighters don't come as part of the purchase price though, so you can't compare them for head to head. Republic would cost a lot more if it came with fighters.

How about some rank and fleet numbers for him? If I get his leet before your reply, I'll guess and put him up as about the same as JChuck before he vanished.

Sure, you can give him JChuck's the rank and fleet number.

Erm, would you happen to remember what those were? I just realized I trashed my file on him, so I can't remember exactly...
