[MonkeyHead]

Throwing my hat into the ring as Prof M. N. Keyhead, High energy physicist. More than willing to RP the role, getting exited at any new ways to kill people and ships.

[Rez]

I might be interested in being a civilian administrator.

[Flying Dice]

I'd like to start as a fighter jockey as well, transferring to carrier command once I hit flag rank.

Done. Also, do you want to choose TN-start or conventional start?

Done. You will be the highest rating CA (and hopefully the first Earth Governor). Also, do you want to choose TN-start or conventional start?

Done.

As for naval rank, I though about something like this:
R1 - Captain: Any state controlled Commercial Ship, PDCs, Any Military Ships below 1000ton.
R2 - Flag Captain: Any survey Ships, Any Military ships between 1000-5000 ton range. Corvette and Frigate, any dedicated sensor ships.
R3 - Rear Admiral: Any Military ships between 5000 -10000 ton range. Most Destroyer and Cruiser, also Light Carrier.
R4 - Vice Admiral: Any Military ships above 10.000 ton. Most Carrier, Battlecruiser and Battleships.
R5 - Admiral: same as R4
R6 - Fleet Admiral: same as R4.
Of course as the techs progress and ship tonnage raised, it will be changed.

As for quick arbitrary ship classification:
By tonnages:
Any ship <500 ton: Fighter
500 -1000 ton: Fast Attack Craft (Gunboat or Missile Boat)
1000-3000 ton: Corvettes
3000-5000 ton: Frigates
5000-10000 ton: Destroyer (if mostly armed with Beam weapon)
5000-10000 ton: Cruiser (if mostly armed with Missile weapon)
10000-12500 ton: Battlecruiser
12500-15000 ton: Battleship
>15000 ton: Dreadnoughts
while ships with Parasite capabilites (Carrier) are classified as:
<5000 ton: Escort Carrier
5000-10000: Light Carrier
10000-20000: Carrier
>20000: Supercarrier / Mothership
But you can also submit your proposal about what kind of ship classification we should use...

[Darkening Kaos]

Reporting for duty as a geo-survey ship captain, specializing in gas giant surveys, (also their moons), preferably in a ship with weapons for self-defence purposes.  The Reich have spies everywhere.

Special skill preferences: Fleet Movement, Survey, any others.

Start: TNS.

[FritzPL]

If it's possible, I'd like to be renamed to Fritz Wolfgang, if it's possible.

[Flying Dice]

Honestly, those tonnages are going to be outdated within 10-15 years of teching. Better to classify ships by role than by tonnage, IMO. In most of my campaigns, destroyers (for example) will go from 10k tons to 25-30k tons in the first few decades of military production. Pretty much the only things that will be constant are fighters and FACs, due to their restrictions.

[wsoxfan]

Can I be ANEA? If Yes, could you rename whoever you choose to WSoxfan? Also, I agree with FD. As technology advances, we'll want bigger ships fordestroying peaceful alien civilizations peacekeeping.

[Rez]

TS I suppose.  Would that be Earth Sector or just Earth?

Xenos are for enslavement, heretic.

Ooh, poll asking exactly what I was wondering. Excellent.

Actually, it just a crude classification used at the start of campaign, to reflecting existing naval ship tonnage, the top brass are still 'grounded on Earth'. But I agree that we should come with classification based on Ship Roles as this method of classification are more flexible. We can change this as we go on our play...

Of course you can, if you're elected you can change your department name if you like.

Yeah, Allied Nations does not support any non-states sponsored Genocide, unlike those wimpy Socialist Reich after all!

I though that would be better rather than asking it inside post.

Wait for our Second Poll:
Which more betters? Explore and claim ruins at Venus as our new Capitalist Home, or instead: claim the ruins at Mars as the new Red Frontier. There can only be one. (Metagame mechanics: Both ruins are labelled Partially Intact City)

Oh and if you think our current flag design are lame, feel free to submit a new exciting design.

What, those are our only options?  What if I prefer Venus as the new Yellow Frontier (I'm rather partial to keeping Earth as our home; I'm not about to run away from those Fascists), or prefer Mars as our new home (not bloodly likely, but maybe somebody always wanted to call themselves "Martians")?

[Rez]

You mean we're not just going to start a bunch of colonies on mineral rich worlds and then nuke the crap out of earth?
