Intro

It was the year 2088, Earth's resources were nearly depleted, and war was ever present as everything from oil to trees were fought over, and the world began to break down into savagery, and death. In attempt to save some of mankind all the nations that remained banded together, and began Project Eden, it was to become Mankind's greatest triumph, and it goal was to give us the ability to colonize a distant Earth like planet. At first all they manged was constant failure, and the outlook of Mankind grew grim, but just before the world was set to collapse they made a discovery in the deepest parts of Antarctica, buried under five miles of ice they found a massive ship it took up miles upon miles of space.

It was a relic from an age long gone, a symbol of hope when mankind most needed it, and it was a sign of something beyond their small planet. Within a year the Union of Mankind, as the nations had become known as, put down all wars, and began to repair the relic which was now known as Hope's Remnant. Billions flocked to the relic, and it was completed by the end of the year 2090. By then only two million humans remained, more then enough to pilot the relic ship, but nowhere near close enough to fill it.

With that they left Earth, a dying husk covered in poisonous gases, volcanic ash, and constant earthquakes slowly tearing the planet to pieces. They set off into the stars to try, and salvage what remained of mankind. As the ship traveled through the stars, finding habitable planet after habitable planet, mankind slowly split up into groups of four to five thousand per planet until finally Hope's Remnant disappeared among the stars, the fifty thousand that remained on the ship to make it their hope never to be found again.

As the years past those that were left behind on the varying planets either withered away, and died, or flourished, those who survived used the knowledge they had gained from the relic to build similar ships that could travel light years in an hour, and such. Mankind flourished as never before as they reached their grip out through the stars. At first they believed themselves to be alone as the relic moved farther out off their minds, but within fifteen years of their expansion they came into contact with hundreds of different races that lived among the stars.


Mankind grew along side these alien beings, and soon enough they lived in peace together, worked beside each other, and waged war with each other. Even in the dark reaches of space the atrocity of war that nearly wiped out mankind was present, and growing rapidly with the introduction of the ever ambitious humans. Among the thousands of faction that wage war through the stars lies an even larger faction, the Space Pirates, renegades who have chosen to steal, and wage war against any they choose to become rich. They have an allegiance only to those they wish to give it, and follow no rules, but their own. Six new Space Pirates emerge in the hopes of striking it rich among the deadly spaces of the Galactic Empires, and Federations.

Accuracy:
1-6: Miss
7-10: Glancing Hit
11-17: Direct Hit
18-20: Critical Hit Chance [Roll a 1d20; 1-12: Normal Damage; 13-16: Double Damage; 17-20: !CRITICAL! Triple Damage]

Missiles: Missiles deal direct damage to one specific target. For example an Interceptor Missile deals all of its damage to the hull of one fighter. Missiles are usually anti-fighter/anti-boarding ship weapons, so they will deal relatively high damage to one target. Missiles are abundant, and relatively cheap if you have the right connections, and can be bought on just about every planet/station. PD Turrets suffer a -1 to accuracy when trying to gun down Missiles.

Warheads: Warheads deal splash damage, and spread their damage out over adjacent sections of hull plating, Warheads will generally do larger amounts of damage, but that is abated a bit as it spreads out over the hull segments. Warheads are uncommon, and can generally only be bought from corrupt military officials, and the shady Black Market Dealers you find everywhere on stations. -3 to accuracy against fighters

Point Defense Turrets: PD Turrets are made specifically to combat fighters, missiles, and other small craft/projectile weapons. They deal massive damage to all of those, but when they are used to attack a larger ship they deal .25 damage to AP per hit. Most Point Defense Turrets use PD Shells, and thus require large amounts of ammo as the fire numerous rounds quickly. PD Turrets aren't extremely expensive weapons, but buying them, adding mounts to your ships, and then placing them in their can rasie the prices up pretty high.

Cannons: Cannons are high damage, single shot weapons that take up numerous turret mounts on ships. They are generally made to act as anti-ship weapons, and can punch holes into enemy plating with ease. Though the only shoot once, so they have the advantage of dealing high damages sometimes, but if they miss you lose one of your more expensive ammo units, and have to wait till next turn to fire. Cannons are extremely expensive weaponry that require numerous mounts to be added per weapon, so the prices are massive for adding them onto your ship. -5 to accuracy against fighters, and such vessels.

Batteries: Batteries are made to deal large amounts of damage with multiple shots, but their unwieldy size, and poor targeting systems gives them bad accuracy. -4 To Accuracy against Everything

Spoiler: Deep Space (click to show/hide)

Deep Space is anywhere that is not traveled by the people of the Galactic Empires, in Deep Space lie the forgotten ruins, and remnants of past civilizations, Marauder bases, and many places far worse then there. Entire armies could hide in the areas, and structures left behind in Deep Space, and entire civilizations could do, so as well. Every area that has been abandoned by the Galactic Empires has fallen to shambles, and the people their have either reverted back to their former technology level, or joined forces with the Marauders to get revenge on those who abandoned them.

Spoiler: Fighter Combat Rules (click to show/hide)

Fighters are fast, agile, and small space craft piloted by one man, or in some cases a drone. Fighters are hard to hit for most weapons due to their small size, and the unwieldy size of certain weapons, they are made to work in groups, and combat each other while attempting to bomb enemy ships from point-blank range for wide spread damage. The only weapons that are truly effective against fighters are point defense turrets, interceptor missiles, and other fighters made specifically to combat their own kind.

Fuel all fighters have a score called fuel in their status, this score represents the number of turns they have of flight before they run out of fuel, and are left drifting through the void of space. To regain fuel they'll need to dock with your ship, and fuel up before launching again to combat your foes. Fighters can also refuel at space stations, and planet-based space docks (Very rare). Fuel is also used to power the mini-warp drives installed into fighters, most of these require massive amounts of fuel, and are only used as last ditch efforts to survive.

Missiles equipped to fighters work slightly differently from those equipped to larger ships, instead of taking time to launch fighters can launch any missile of any type (Well almost) in one turn, and have it hit their target in the same turn. Warheads used by fighters gain a +5 to damage dealt to all hull sections hit to simulate point-blank launch methods.

Fighter Types

Interceptors - Interceptors are fighters made for long range strikes, these strikes are usually made to prevent fleet escapes, and allow your ships time to close in, and finish off any fleeing forces. Interceptors are usually equipped with only turret based weaponry, with the odd missile capable ship to annoy the larger ships, and prevent the fleet advancing into warp-space. Interceptors are slightly more expensive with, usually, laser-based weaponry, and increased fuel-capacity to allow for longer flight times, and larger zones of effectiveness.
Effects
+1 to Accuracy Against Fighters
+More Fuel Capacity (Each Fuel Unit lasts 2 turns instead of one)
+Can travel much greater distances easily
+All have Warp-Drives

Dog-fighters - (Calling these DFs for less work) DFs are primarily used to fight down other ships, and quickly mow through hordes of unprepared fighters before they can respond. Usually used to take out fighter escorts to allow strike at the fragile bombers, these ships are quite useful in sustained space combat, and surprise attacks to reduce numbers effectively, and with ease. DFs usually are loaded down with more weaponry, and thus have less overall flight time.
Effects
+2 to Accuracy Against Fighters
+Armed with More weapons then other Fighters
+Higher AP
-Less Fuel Capacity

Bombers - Bomber are fighters made for the sole purpose of dealing wide-spread, high-quality damage to larger ships, aiming to cripple them, and avoid fights with other fighters. Their mortal enemy is the Dog-fighter with its numerous weapons made for dealing with fighters, but not large ships. Most bomber are armed with numerous missiles, or torpedo bays with a single turret based weapon of some sort for emergency defense. Bombers have medium fuel-capacity, and are usually armed with very few, but very powerful weaponry.
Effects
+More Fuel Capacity
+Stronger Anti-Ship Weapons
-Less AP
-2 to Accuracy against Fighters

Boarding Vessels - ~ To Be Decided; Suggestions Welcome ~

Spoiler: Ship Modifications (click to show/hide)

Ship Modifications, or mods, are special changes you've made to your ship that make it different from a ship of the same type, for example a two Lynbar Frigates may face in combat, but one may win due to a specialized mod the other ship made to increase the fire rate of their Cannons drastically. Most Mods can be done without cash, or special items, but such mods are called Unorthodox Mods. These types of mods have great effects, and all, but they can have severe drawbacks if their condition falls to low. The other types of mods are known as Conventional Mods, these mods have conditions as well, but once they fall past a certain point their effectiveness decreases, and eventually stops entirely, but they have no real bad effects on your ship, compared to mods of the other kind these are generally weaker due to the uniform way they are built to last.

Spoiler: Large Battles (click to show/hide)

Large Battles are broken up into three different types of combat which those are then broken up into phases where ships from the same side with similar initiative are grouped together and there attacks are made in the same phase. Phases last until another sides ship (or ships) get to take action at which point a new phase is made including that ship (or ships).

The three combat types are Long Range Combat, Close Range Combat, Fighter Combat.

In Long Range Combat units that are firing missiles or similar long range weapons launch the number attacks indicated in their orders and the targets for those attacks are chosen randomly unless their commanders specify otherwise. Then the turns continue as normal until the targets are required to roll for P.D. at which point they get 1 shot from each of their P.D. weapons to try and shoot down the incoming projectile if its possible. (For some long range weapons its impossible to shoot their munitions down, you'll see one soon.)

In Close Range Combat units that are firing their main weapons alongside any other weapons are put face to face, weapons used in close range are restricted to cannons, P.D. weapons, batteries, and similar to avoid damage splashing back onto allied ships. Battle is otherwise rolled normally except for the fact that the stern plating of all ships locked in Close Range Combat can not be targeted by other ships that are in Close Range Combat.

Fighter Combat takes place between fighters only, only ships set on Overwatch may have their P.D. weapons take part in this combat type, in this type fighters attack each other, or attempt to make bombing runs on enemy vessels. Fighter vs. Fighter combat is handled as it normally is, but if a fighter wing is making a bombing run on an ship then that ships P.D. weapons get to try and shoot the wing down before it gets to bomb, any units surviving afterwards (if there are any that is) get to unleash their missiles/bombs/torpedoes and make their escape back to their ship for rearmament and refueling.

Spoiler: Overwatch (click to show/hide)

Any ship (other then fighters) can be put on Overwatch, Overwatch is a state where the ship does not take part in normal combat, but instead focuses all its attention on shooting down enemy fighters, missiles, and ordnance to protect their fleet. Any ship in this mode may use their full attack speed to shoot down any missiles in Long Range Combat, and their P.D. weapons may now participate in Fighter Combat. Effects out of Large Battles undecided.

Spoiler: Structural Integrity (click to show/hide)

Structural Integrity is basically the health you have after your plating has been depleted, when a section of plating has their AP reach 0 all damage taken to that section will instead go to the Structural Integrity of the ship. As this takes damage various systems will begin to shut down, and there is a chance of a catastrophic malfunction/hit to the ship. In other words every time the structural integrity takes damage a roll is made on a chart to determine the effect. All ships have a class, and that class determines their SI (Structural Integrity). SI is only used outside of Large Battles so as to keep my workload at a a manageable level, in Large Battles if a hit is made where the plating of a ship is depleted then it is destroyed unless it is a PC ship, or otherwise important vessel.

[Nirur Torir]

I think Stingrays need to be rebalanced. As far as I can tell, a Lynx will always kill one for 1/15th the price (Before it can fire Breaker missiles), while the interceptor itself is vastly outclassed by a trio of missiles. Meanwhile, a pair of frigate plasma batteries won't go getting themselves blown up as soon as they enter combat for the first time, every time. At the very least, I think strike craft with single-shot missiles should be able to launch any missile in one turn. An inherent dodge chance based on fighter type might be nice for fighters (It's hard to hit light fighters with a plasma battery).

They are a completely harmless^{[citation needed]}, primitive species, and make excellent pets when domesticated^[6][7]. - Excerpt from Alpha Centauri B II's Wikipedia.
   Nrelshy was born in captivity, and bought as a pet by an aspiring human captain (Johnathan) on Alpha Centauri B II. Being exceptionally bright for a cutebold, he was useful as a study aid, and through Johnathan, effectively received an unofficial academy education.
   After graduating, Johnathan used most of his inheritance to buy himself a ship. He was killed later that night in a bar brawl, and had willed everything to his pet. Nrelshy now seeks to fulfill his former master's dream of being a famous pilot, and bought a crew of trained cutebolds (They'll never mutiny, don't demand high wages for dangerous jobs ... And a 'bold buying other 'bolds? Eh ... Your money's as good as any). After speaking with his crew, and several weeks of thinking, he has decided to pursue piracy against the race which enslaved his own.

And, because the forums went down, I have a hastily crafted picture of Rip for anyone who doubts that cutebolds can be fighter pilots.

Well a Lynx has to hit the fighter first, but I'll modify its damage a bit to keep them from one hitting the fighters. Also Fighters will fire all missiles in one turn no matter what the Missiles Atk Speed says.

As for the Plasma Batteries, they have to roll a 1d20 with 19-20 hitting the fighter.

Name: Aurin Velias
Gender: Female
Age: 32

Born in the shade of the twin Azure stars: Cogitari and Memoria, on the lush green mountains of the planet Anima, Aurin was raised. Most of her life living near the Starport that saw and launched ships to the nearby Gateway; her fondness of traveling the stars grew with every passing streak in the sky, comets, meteors, jumpdrives being activated...There was much to learn, and much to do.

When she reached her coming of age, she was granted access to her parent's voidfaring vessel, it's range stretching to the edges of Cogitari, passing by the luminescent flares of Memoria and with that, a scenic view that held every viewer in awe and wonder. Also, she was gifted the family crest: a yellow star outlined in blue. Simple, elegant, and containing the essence of what her passion was built upon.

Fire.

The stories told to her when she was young sprang to life as she saw a solar flare in action. It was beautiful, but also very lethal. This was proven, sadly, in her thirtieth year as a voyager.

A band of pirates congregated on the rim of Memoria, led by a strange ship that glowed like the star itself. She was at the Spaceport at the time, tinkering with the various weapons that belonged to one of the neighbor Captains. Out of nowhere, on a cloudless day, a beam of crimson fire fell from the heavens, scorching the mountains west of her and burning the forests north of them. Followed by the humming of engines,the scrambling of men and women to their respective ships and the roaring of rockets, propelling said ships to fight the threat in the stars. In defense of Anima.

The battle was fierce, for there was none like it ever witnessed in their local archives. Faint flashes of light came from the skies, to the casual observer it would just be a passing starship, but those flashes increased by the minute. The Planetary defenses were weakened in it's peacetime, focusing on trade and commerce. All they had to defend themselves were a few hastily scrapped merchant frigates and a dozen or so mercenary bands.

In the coming days, the lights stopped flashing, the communications stopped and the citizenry felt safe. Until the nearest crosstranceiver lit up: the view was that from another eye, the pirate lord.

In space, flaming wrecks were spotted among the debris, burning, fueled by the gravity shields and bodies. Sadly, most of those wrecks carried the Insignia of a three-pointed gold star outlined in blue. Anima's defenders.

The local guardians voiced out their commands, for they couldn't stop such a force after losing much of their own. The pirate lord rescinded his kill order on the survivors, on the deal that most of the world's...population, was to be brought out as slaves. Aurin was one of the lucky ones, with a contact in the way of escape.

Learning the way of Piratehood was harsh, there was much discrimination. Though, her attitude more than made up for her weaknesses. She gained the trust of those who lorded over the slaves, and rose in the ranks, using her skill and cunning to elude the most observant of eyes, even leading a small resistance undercover. Then, when she was nearly accepted as a member, she unleashed her plan.

In the dead of night, or their current 'night' time, a ship warped in from the outlying system, heading at full speed right at the pirate outpost. Decked in the colors of blue and yellow, it easily wiped away the crude defenses of the pirates with it's multiple laser batteries, a turret near the front blasting away at any missiles they could fire at it while it pressed it's assault on the outpost. Inside, cries of mutiny were heard as the majority of the slaves -and their keepers for one- rebelled against the higher members of the hierarchy, causing much chaos in most of the sectors of the Outpost and disabling the more dangerous of defenses.

It was bloody, but easier than what she could've hoped for. The Pirate lord, however, escaped with his ship and crew in the ensuing conflict. In the time after, her skills were brought to light and she was given command of the very vessel that liberated them all. Strangely, it looked like an amalgam of different trade ships other than a commissioned military vessel.

Though, it wasn't piracy that opened her eyes to the reality that was the cosmos, nor the battle for Anima, nor the many times she had with the pirates and their own lives. No. It was the knowledge of the person: everything she witnessed, there was no good nor evil in this galaxy where the mutuality coexisted with greed, but only want. Therefore, she pledged her life and most of her crew (who were now reformed and willing to work alongside her) to whatever destiny may come. Whether it be sailing beyond the known reaches of their galaxy, or in a battle to the death with the pirates; she knew one thing, and that was the need for Freedom.

Reserve as in: "I'm busy with the bio."
The positioning is just flavor.

Also, lowered the rounds (did the math) for a chance to upgrade one laser battery. (I lacked 50 G.C.)

And, if the bio is too long, just say. I get carried away with things like these if the atmosphere is right.

Yep its fine

Edit; Sinpwn, you need to recheck your ship, it has 5 Battery Mounts which cost 15 points each

Ah, I can't see the costs of the armor plating, but it seems light armor is free, so I'll go with that.

[Tiruin]

Done mine.

Q: Is it possible to upgrade the ship later on? With booty and plunder?

Also, does Missile Tubes rely on ammunition to be used or can they be used alone? (Armaments > Missiles).

[Dwarmin]

I'll snag that last spot. Reserved.

I know you have a spotty record Adwarf, but I'm willing to try again. Cause you always think up the best ideas for RTD's.

Name: Captain Sai'oda Fresa
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Bio: Sai'oda was once a young idealist, a politicians daughter-in the fascist Empire of Bataria, though, freedom of thought was frowned upon. Her family and friends were executed, or imprisoned and 'rewired', into expendable slave labor. Such was almost her fate...but she escaped. She became a fugitive, and an outcast from her home.

Ranging out into a hostile galaxy, consumed with anger, her morals corroded over time. Eventually, piracy went from merely a matter of survival to one of choice.

While her piracy is typically not very choosy of victims, she still retains a hate for the trappings of Law and Order-and, at time, goes out of her way to cause trouble for them. Or help out a fellow space captain who might be resisting arrest.

I don't think there is a free armor.

I've changed my purchasing decisions to get interceptors.

Also, does Missile Tubes rely on ammunition to be used or can they be used alone? (Armaments > Missiles).

Yes, as you go through the game looting, destroying, doing jobs, etc. you'll earn galactic credits, armaments, fighters, and sometimes even entirely new ships to use. For armaments you could just steal them from other ships, and scrap fields, but those are almost always going to be heavily damaged, obsolete, or barely useful. As for plating you could take the remains of enemy ships, and weld them onto the hull (will get penalties as you add more), but you can also get the entire hull plating replaced with something newer, and up to date. Of course it will cost you quite a lot to add anything to the new to ship between buying the parts, paying it to get installed, by ammo, etc. though its stgill a perfectly viable path.

Missile Tube require something to shoot, whether it be a missile, deep-space probe, etc.

Heh. 

Can't wait to raid!

Edit: I think you should add some Missiles to your ammunition Sinpwn.
