That's why I said short term and creating more. Although I will pull back my edge if research goes well.

[4maskwolf]

Interesting.

Also, does anyone know the answer to my question earlier? Can trade fleets be deployed the same turntable hey are manufactured?

[PewdsRocks]

Well you need to find planets to colonize. I can build them once my research gets going. So it all depends on your luck expanding and my luck in research.

[Ghazkull]

okay where to begin?

AH yes Troops and SHip costs are in the OP under military.

Mercenary costs i never posted as far as i know but will be handled via black market. Depending on how you wnat them to perform (secretively, openly, Piracy etc.) they will have different costs. Generally Mercenaries are good for nations who aren't concentrated on building huge navies or fleets but need a short term muscle support.

As for Troops, Research, Ships and such stuff i will post in the IC a list of things that have been unlocked. I will also add an Index to the map showing what is what.

TO answers ebbors question apart from the white planets in your systems you know of no other colonizable planets yet.

To answer 4mask, no that is impossible.

You said mercenaries cost 1 credit per strength 1 ship, which is the same as upkeep, meaning that it's like havng variable upkeep defensive fleets.

[Ghazkull]

Where the hell did i say that...?

Also 4 mask and all other players  BOLD all actions because that thread will get quite confusing quite soon and that saves me at least some sanity and time.

[4maskwolf]

Edited for you, sorry about that.

Quick discrepancy question: in the OOC thread, work ships are listed a shavings pop modifier of .5, while in the IC thread they are listed with a pop modifier of 1. I assume that whatever is in the IC thread is what we go with?

That is specific to mercenary trade escorts, I think.

That's what I'd been referring to. >.> I thought those were the only mercs there were, and that the rest were called pirates/privateers.

No. Pirates can also be your own forces, just disguised. Also, he just said there were other mercenaries, so...

[Ghazkull]

thanks for the infor corrected it.

And yes those are merely mercenary trade escorts, there may be various different kinds on offer on the black market though and finally you can put your own troops there for merc work.

[Rolepgeek]

So what's the downside to using mercenary trade escorts, then?

[Ghazkull]

You get weak ships. an no boarders.
