[Octobomb]

Your army comes out to 84pts but you only have 50.

[Nerjin]

Each fighter squadron is 1 point and each Carrier is 5 right?

Nevermind I figured it out. Lemme go fix this.

[evilcherry]

Hold. Making a Race.

[Maxinum McDreich]

I'mma make a race and likely be put in the waitlist.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Name: Atrom-Boream alliance
Description and biography: This empire experienced a very rare event in the universe, two biodiverse planets in one solar system  that developed sapient races almost simultaneously... Yes, when Atroms, insctoid race from L-G planet contacted with mammalian humanoid Boreams they were few hundreds years ahead tech-wise, but large difference in gravity and atmospheric pressure made trade and cooperation more profitable than outright conquest and soon tech gap was neutralized...

Much later war space war started, not for main the planets, but for resource rich solar system. It was long, it was bloody and after mutual nuclear bombing their planets become barely good enough to sustain life...
Recently, great leaders ended the senseless war and created an alliance that aims to expand beyond the home system

Traits: +2 to colony level (2 points), Industrious2 (5 points) Inquisitive (5), +20 fleet points (2 point) , Military techs* (2 points), Civilian techs*2 (2 points)
Custom trait: adaptable, (2 points):  Having two races from very different planets, with different atmospheres, gravities and temperatures allows the alliance to settle on wider range of planets

Description of system and planets:
Samur: Sun like star
Kolir: LVL3 colony, capital. Mars sized planet with average surface temperature of 45C^o, little water and quite thin atmosphere. After recent war noticeably irradiated. Home of  Atrom race

Tamish: LVL3 colony, 1.5 large than earth Terran, slightly cold planet with 80% of surface belonging to oceans\ice. Home of
Boream race. Very irradiated. 14C^o average yearly temperature

Biquk: Outpost. Strange planet of mysterious origin, while having two sizes of earth it nothing but a huge chunk of iron + low percentages of heavier metals. Was a reason of the war that escalated in nuclear war. -44C^o.

Damium: Gas giant with large rings and  various small moons

Torimah: Mercury sized cold rock: -173C^o/.

Alekaro asteroid belt.
 
List of colonies:
Kolir, LVL3
Tamish: LVL3
Biquk: LVL1

Civilian techs:
Radiation protection: Being forced to live on polluted planets the alliance learned to create measures to protect from radiation, from suits to special walls
Advanced underground construction During the war  many cities moved underground to survive an orbital bombardment
Synthetic food plants Alliance learned to produce an edible food from various hydrocarbons and\or any aviable biomass

Military techs:
Long range planet attack missiles: Small, fast, hard to notice, long ranged kinetic missiles designed to carpet bomb enemy planets from the safe distance
Advanced fusion bombs:   Alliance knows how to make highly effective fusion bombs of various sizes, from tip of a pencil sized  bombs to asteroid sized bombs
Planet assault  combat drones It was decided that wasting ground troops for landing on hostile planets is unwise, and during the war those were designed
Defensive satellites automated, cost effective fighter sized suicide satellites with a fusion bomb inside. Designed to intercept any hostile object, get inside it and blow it up

Fleet: 70 points
Cruisers * 2 (2*30 points)
One wing of defensive satellites (10 points)

[Kashyyk]

Oooh an Ebbor game, looks like I'm too late. I'll just have to watch.

[10ebbor10]

Oooh an Ebbor game, looks like I'm too late. I'll just have to watch.

Meh, I'm not using first come , first take.

Going to scan the sheets for problems soonish, set up some list to keep track of modifiers, and start the game . Shouldn't be too long.

[Saswift]

Oooh an Ebbor game, looks like I'm too late. I'll just have to watch.

You could still team up with me if you wanted. I'll even let you be president/governor (Or whatever.)
Though if you want to do that you'll have to let me know any changes you want in tech or planet setup.

What does the colony size mean? The level would be population/infrastructure (I assume) But is there a defined maximum level or is it just a matter of how much food you can procure. And can I do more complicated tech?

[10ebbor10]

What does the colony size mean? The level would be population/infrastructure (I assume) But is there a defined maximum level or is it just a matter of how much food you can procure. And can I do more complicated tech?

There are 3 levels (for now). These are:
   -Outpost
   -Settlement
   -Core Planet

There's also a population, which determines how much you produce, and is limited by your food production.

Tech depends on what you intend. Feel free to get as descriptive as you want to be.

Spoiler: Empire (click to show/hide)

Name: Murggh
Description and biography: Murggh is a merchant prince of the Salqwar, a species sometimes both literally and figuratively described as "slimy." While humanoid, their pale, moist skin, pointy teeth, and unusually bulging foreheads lead many others to dislike them at first. As for the figurative slime... well, nobody likes those with more money than they do, and certainly not anyone with more interest in money than they do.

Murggh is rather attractive by Salqwar standards, though the distinctions are lost on most other races. He came to power as merchant princes are wont to do- through obscene personal wealth and connections combined with cutting everyone else a deal they could live with. He envisions leading the Salqwar to become the dominant race in the galaxy, not through conquest or industry but raw economic might.

Traits: Lucrative +1.0
Description of system and planets:
-Irris (Capital)
-Norgal (Colonial Outpost)
-Shremmel (Colonial Outpost)

Military tech:
-Armor Plating
-Lasers

Civilian tech:
-Interstellar Trade

List of the fleet:
-1 Battleship ("Raspy Star")

Seems alright. Can I assume the battleship is fully equipped with laser weaponry?

Spoiler: The Supremacy (click to show/hide)

Name: The Supremacy
Description and biography: The Supremacy are the oldest race in known space. Their bodies are composed entirely of energy, and they use themselves to power their ships and industry. This also means that discovering generators created an ENORMOUS population boom among them as they can use that energy to create more of themselves.
Traits: FTL Savvy, 6 level 3 colonies.
Description of system and planets: The Supremacy reigns from its capital planet of Planet in the system of System....they aren't really very creative in naming things.
List of colonies: Planet 2 (level three) Planet 3 (level three) Planet 4 (level three) Planet 5 (level three) Planet 6 (level three)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Military tech: Energy Weapons, Energy Boost (can sacrifice crew for better power levels)

Civilian tech: Generation Procreation- The Supremacy reproduces faster the greater its industry becomes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

List of the fleet: Whatever we would normally start with I guess

There's no default starting fleet. You get 50 command points worth, but there are many ways to distribute that . Adding to that, things get really confusing with these Generic, non distinctive names. Doesn't give a good impression either.

Looks like a-lot of fun. I'll throw a nation of some sort together. You seem to be following sword of the stars a bit so I'll follow it as well.

It might be fun sharing a nation with someone else since one of us could pick up for the other when 1 isn't available for posting.

Totally stolen idea from aquanox
Name: Tiktaalik

The Tiktaalik were a little too warlike for their own good, accidentally destroying most of their atmosphere and driving their earth sized home planet into nuclear winter. A 600 ft thick wall of ice protects the oceans from the now cold and hostile surface. The continents today almost completely uninhabited save for a few mining facilities where the unluckly tear down through the rock collecting copper, tin, and nickel. The planet is rather active volcanically and abundant life yet remains beneath the surface where many microorganisms have developed to a point where they are actually dependant on the pollution the Tiktaalik produce for their own survival. Enormous water turbines coat the floor in places providing a constant supply of energy as well as oxygenating the oceans. It only took 3 centuries of underwater warfare for unity to be finally achieved.

Unsurprisingly the Tiktaalik dislike sharing things they consider theirs.

Traits: Extra Industry .5, Food .25, Inquisitive .25

System/planets:
Aqua System
   Tin(Tidally locked and closest planet to the sun. Has a ring that's a habitable temperature. Atmosphere-less mining planet.)
   Rogue(Basically Venus)
   Aquanox(Capital)
   Grace(Stormy mountainous planet, pitifully shallow oceans,acidic atmosphere, cold)
   Astroid belt
   Orpheus(Gas planet)
       Nuna
       Orna
       Punta
       Ross
   Lannia(Gas planet)
       Uganda
       Klint
   Yehha

Colonies:
Aqua System
   Tin (Outpost)
   Aquanox (Core Planet)
   Grace (Outpost)

Military tech
Shaped Nuclear Warhead, Advanced Submarines- Spaceships are largely old submarine designs from when the Tiktaalik had yet to fully go through their genetic modifications. As such their engines work effectively when underwater. Unfortunately they work more poorly that other races designs in thick atmospheres.

Civilian Tech,
Underwater Construction-The Tiktaalik have lived so long underwater that constructing cities and industrial complexes underwater is second nature. Constructing on the surface conversely is strange and foreign. When they do construct on the surface they build canals for getting around rather than highways and all buildings and most living spaces are highly concentrated around these canals.

Fleet: 1x Fighter wing (on home planet),1 Destroyer,2 Frigates

Seems alright. The fleet's loadout isn't determined yet, but I can hardly expect people to do that before I tell them their options.

Done. You did ask for it, so I had to try it. It might have cost me some advantage in the long run, but my fleet is almost seven times as big as others. One of my ships costs me 60pts apiece and I have two of them.

Name: Friendzerkers
Description and biography: The Friendzerkers seek to expand their enlightened doctrine all over the universe. They call it 'Enlightened Friendship', where conquered or willing civilisations are bound to a treaty of non-Agression and contributing scientific research to all, in return for self-governance, a mutual aid pact and the ability to call on Friendzerker fleets for defense.
Traits: 13x Extra Fleets. 2x Extra Colony. (Both lvl1). Extra Industry 0.25
Description of system and planets:
List of colonies (Just a name suffices, along with it's level)
Beltar III (Capital)
Sivern V
Mawvine VII
Dotan II
Calton XII

Military tech:
Deflector Shields
Kinetic Weaponry (Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest little sod out there at interplanetary speeds and I can prove it if need be.)
Civilian tech:
Wartime strength: Friendzerker worlds are so used to war that all worlds belonging to them are much more resistant to starvation.

List of the fleet:
Scout Group Alpha (2x Frigate) [20pts]
Carrier Group Epsilon (1x Battleship, 5x Fighter wing, 2x Cruisers) [120pts]
Carrier Group Zulu (Same as Epsilon) [120pts]
260pts Total

Seems alright. However, do note that fleets have a certain maintenance cost. Overspecializing has drawbacks.

Name: Retha Confederation (I think the empire name is supposed to go here)
Description and biography: The Retha Confederation is a rather hierarchical representative democracy (in that the citizenry only chooses provincial governors, which choose sector governors and so forth). Its current priorities are the maintenance of order and economic stability, and the preservation of Rethacal's biosphere and natural resources.
Traits:
Industrious
Prosperous
2 Extra Civilian Techs
2x 20 Command point fleet bonus
4 Extra Military Techs
List of colonies (Just a name suffices, along with it's level)
Rethacal (Capital)
Dulalra (Outpost)
Mesuar (Outpost)
Military tech:
Reactive armour plating
Reinforced superstructure
Efficient laser emitters
Miniaturised fusion reactors
Defensive force screens
Sensor jammers
Civilian tech:
Durable components - given the Confederation's priorities, improving the durability of various components was given a high priority. This has significantly reduced the cost of maintaining many different types of infrastructure, especially the critical systems of the various interplanetary colonies
Fusion reactors
Industrial force fields
List of the fleet:
Rethacal Defense Command - 2 Destroyers
Rethacal Patrol Group - 5 Frigates

Seems good.

Spoiler: The Ocelotl Empire (click to show/hide)

Name: The Ocelotl Empire

Description and Biography: Originally a sea-faring species resembling large purple Octopi they gained a love of constant exploration. Their new-found ability to do so in space has only kick-started their love of this past-time. While they are skilled somewhat in armed warfare they are wary of direct attacks and seek instead to rely on hit and run tactics. Their governmental style relies on an inter-global hive-mind that controls each Ocelotle.

Traits:
Industrious [5]
Lucrative [5]
Prosperous [5]
Inquisitive [5]

Description of System and Planets: Each of the current colonies of the Ocelotl empire is highly similar to Earth and the current system [FOXHOUND] is a large system surrounding two large red stars.

List of Colonies: Ocelot {Captial}, Raven {Outpost}, and Wolf {Outpost}

Military Tech:
Cloaking
Laser Cannons

Civilian Tech:
Advanced Farming

List of Fleet:
2 Frigates [20/50 points]
30 points worth of Fighters

Hope it's not too late to get in here and that I didn't screw up the sheet.

Seems good.

A lvl 1 colony equals an outpost. You can spent that 1 point to upgrade one to a settlement though. Otherwise alright.

((Other possible players will be screened later. I haven't recounted the points yet either.))

[EagleV]

Ignore my previous point, I'm too tired to whip something up now and not going to let you guys wait another day have fun

Spoiler: Aresyll Command (click to show/hide)

Name: The Aresyll Command

Desription and biography: The aresyll are a species of aliens that are vaguely crustacean in appearance. They have an inflexible, but strong red exoskeleton with black or brown patterns. They have two strong legs, and two arms ending in powerful pincers. When they open a pincer wide, they can release a small forked tentacle from between the pincer capable of fine manipulation.

Aresyll disdain the use of armor and vehicles where it is not absolutely required, which in modern days comes close to only mean spaceships and -stations. Originally, this disdain came about through the inflexibility that the armor imparted on their already rigid body, making armor more of a liability than an asset, but over time, this evolved into a code of honor for themselves, and a reason to deride their enemies. Using armor and vehicles, to their mind, is just a way to hide yourself from battle, to deny the reality that you are killing. When the real weapons come out, they say, armor makes little difference. That is not to say that the aresyll wade into combat unprepared and undefended. Any augmentation that does not encase them is welcome - they have methods of hardening their exoskeleton, they can train in armor piercing tactics, and their biological and technological progress has opened up the avenue of cybernetic enhancements, to which their bodies have proven quite suitable.

Only recently have the aresyll learned of some of the strange properties of the crystals that grow on their homeworld in small forests - they allow hyperspace jumps if properly harvested and processed. After a number of false starts, the aresyll command has now colonized two moons of a gas giant in a nearby star system. So far, attempts to cultivate the crystalline forests on other worlds have failed, something that unnerves the higher levels of society for a variety of reasons.

Traits: Industrious [5], Prosperous [5], FTL-Savvy [2], Extra Civilian Tech [2], Extra Military Tech [1], Extra Fleets +100 [5]

Destription of system and planets: Asetkr Q'Krtal is a K-type star, smaller and cooler than Sol. It has two planets, and several asteroid belts. The innermost planet, Elysal D'Ylliil, is the homeworld of the aresyll - dry, hot, and sporting strange crystalline forests, with a gravity slightly above 1.5, temperatures ranging from 27 degrees to 58 degrees, and only about 35% of the world covered in water. The farther planet, Tredydyll D'Ylas, is a huge gas giants with many moons and a spectacular ring system.

List of colonies:
Elysal D'Ylliil (Capital)
Yllidr (Outpost)
Iraradk (Outpost)

Military technologies:
Armor-Breaker Weaponry
Military Cybernetics
Shock Troops

Civilian technologies:
Jump Crystal Drive
Personal Transportation Cybernetics

List of the fleet:
Battlecruiser Station (at Elysal D'Ylliil) [40]
6 Frigates [60]
Battlecruiser Carrier [45] with 3 wings of fighters [3]
2 wings of fighters [2]

Name: Edgarian Collective
Description and biography: The Edgarian Collective is a loosely-formed syndicate comprising of the bulk of the Edgarian race in the Edgarian system. The edgarian race is a relatively small (rarely over one and a half meters) mammalian species the for the most part lives in asteroids and space stations, not out of the fact that they dont like or cant live on there home world (they can, they just dont feel the need). They are relatively long lived and have been called "Gnomes" in the past. They also quite enjoy a substance they call "Tea" and may be chemically dependent on it.
Traits: Inquisitive, Industrious, three small extra outposts, Extra fleets (two points) Dispersed (less likely to move to a settled outpost, ships over battlecruiser size can act as settlements, but are not military.(I hope this works, and heres my extra 5 points))
Description of system and planets: Edgar is a lush world that feels alot like New England or England. Its wet, its damp and its foggy. The other world in the system are all cold, barren and near-lifeless. only Endo-daline is worth anything and thats for its resources. The system is choked with asteroids and thats where most of the race live.
List of colonies:
  Edgar: Capital world
  Endo-daline : Outpost
  Enbed : Outpost (spacestation in the outer reaches of the system)
  Teaing : Outpost on Edgar's moon.
  OWCS-01 "Spirit of Edgar" (battle cruiser sized living colonies)
  OWCS-03 "TeaIguess"     (battle cruiser sized living colonies)
Military technologies:
  Kinetic kill weaponry (rods from god)(cant be reaimed, but as powerfull as a nuke, only no fallout or EMP)
  Advanced armor plate

Civilian technologies:
  Space living (most people are more at hope in space, no matter what they are doing.)

List of the fleet:
  2 battle cruser sized living colonies (unarmed except for anti-asteroid guff)
     OWCS-01 "Spirit of Edgar"
     OWCS-03 "TeaIguess"

I saw it after I finished this. As I dident have any thing else to think of I just lowered my cost (It was literally the same exact thing) and called it that.
