Excerpt from speech to the United Provinces of Earth, 2775

"... First, I believe that humanity should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this millenium is out, of landing a man on Alpha Centauri ..."

The United Earth's leader's speech roused the entire world into a space fervor, prompting billions of credits to be poured into its space fleet. Four provinces were elected to receive a quarter each of these unlimited funds and pioneer the conquest of the stars. Each province uses its budget where it sees fit, but technological advances are shared. Facilities are not, though they may be loaned, and ships are owned by a province. This four province system was set up under the belief that competition would spur innovation and the weeding out of the inept. Therefore, each province's performance is reviewed every decade. If a province has not performed well compared to its peers, it may be relieved of command, and a new province appointed.

After half a decade of intense research, three prototype ships are ready for production. The spacedocks and orbital factories are no longer brand new, but that is not a bad thing, because with age comes experience.

Come, leader, and let us conquer the stars!
Overview

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Objectives

• Send ships to explore the star systems nearby, found by scanning space. There may be hostile aliens in wait.
• Gather resources, from planetary colonies along with the base resources from your quarter of the "unlimited budget", and construct more ships, research new technologies, or retrofit existing ones.
  Reach Alpha Centauri.
• Do not fall behind -- if you do, you may get relieved of command, and a new province will be appointed in your stead with a new leader.
• The first faction that arrives at a star system may name it. Same with planets. Otherwise, names are randomly generated.

Income
You start with 100 credits. You have a base income of 40 credits a turn. You may increase this base income through either constructing planetary colonies (manned or unmanned), building more harvesters, and researching technologies that enhance resource collection. This money can be used to build ships or fund technology.

Ships
Ships have the following stats:
type: Gives an overview of what the ship is capable of. For example, you wouldn't expect a Fighter ship to be able to scan a planet for resources, nor a Colonizer to beat another ship in combat.
HP: Self explanatory.
engines: How much propulsion the ship has.
speed: propulsion divided by max HP. How fast the ship can move.
Armor, Shields, Point Defense: Defense against weapons, inspired by GalCiv2. Each point of defense subtracts damage from a weapon hit, with a minimum of 0 damage. Armor/shield/PD aren't depleted by attacks.

	Kinetic	Beam	Missile
Armor	Full defense	Partial defense	Partial defense
Shields	Partial defense	Full defense	Partial defense
Point Defense	Partial defense	Partial defense	Full defense

Partial currently means square root effectiveness.

Armament: A ship may carry 0 to 2 weapons types. For example, the Impasser has 2x Pinion Weapons 570nm lasers. It could theoretically also equip any number more 570nm lasers, or another weapons system such as the 770nm laser, but not a missile launcher in addition to that.
cost: In credits.


All ships require 1 control, unless specified. The amount of control your space center has can be increased by expanding the center, using credits for every extra control (the actual cost differs from turn to turn, but starts at 50c). You start with 5 control.

Research
You may devote part of your Production Per Turn towards researching technologies. New technology, once researched, is available to all factions. Multiple factions can research the same technology.
A potential technology  may look like this:
    Improved Lasers -- 15c * 4 turns
This means the tech takes 4 turns to research, spending 15 credits every turn. If two factions research Improved Lasers at the same time, it would only take 2 turns, with each faction spending 15 credits a turn.

You can research multiple technologies at once.

Succession
If a province is deemed unsuited to continue exploring the universe as part of the UEEF, a new province is drawn from a pool (also known as the waitlist). The new province gains the fleet and colonies of the old province, along with a bonus in production and passive gain for a few turns.
Evaluation of province performance is done every decade.

Equipment
Drives

Spoiler: Ion Pulse Drives -- propulsion 1 (click to show/hide)

This engine drives ions through a charged field to provide … passable acceleration. It cannot reverse.

Spoiler: Solid Rockets -- propulsion 1.5 (click to show/hide)

These rockets use solid fuel to provide great acceleration and lifting power, but cannot be reused. It cannot reverse.

Spoiler: Linear Ion Engine -- propulsion 2 (click to show/hide)

This engine drives ions through a rail-gun sort of setup to provide fairly good acceleration. It is bulkier than the Ion Pulse Drive, though. It cannot reverse.

Spoiler: Blueshift Engine -- propulsion 5 (click to show/hide)

An engine design stolen from the aliens. Radically faster than any previous designs, its bulky size prohibits installation in ships smaller than Tier Three.

Weapons

Spoiler: Pinion Weapons 770nm -- 0.5 dmg -- beam (click to show/hide)

One of the first space weapons developed by Pinion Weapon Systems. Focuses a 770nm invisible laser beam on the target, heating it up and damaging the surface. Unfortunately, it is also extremely weak, and deals no damage to shields.

Spoiler: Pinion Weapons 570nm -- 0.8 dmg -- beam (click to show/hide)

A slightly better laser weapon, utilizing green-yellow light. It still deals no damage to shields.

Spoiler: Prototype Railgun -- 1.2 dmg -- kinetic (click to show/hide)

A set of rails that propels a small kinetic slug using magnetic forces.

Spoiler: Triple Capacitor Railguns
 -- 4.0 dmg -- kinetic (click to show/hide)

These railguns apply breakthroughs in temperature-resistant, highly-conductive weapons to greatly increase the penetration of the slightly larger slug.

Spoiler: Chemical missile-- 3 dmg -- missile (click to show/hide)

Crude, simple, effective.

Spoiler: Pinion Weapons "Super Laser"-- 3 dmg -- beam (click to show/hide)

Better reflective and semi-reflective surfaces allow laser weapon systems to pack more energy into the same-sized package.

Spoiler: Korosev Kinetic Missile-- 20 dmg -- kinetic missile (click to show/hide)

Kinetic slugs with warp drives attached, dealing Kinetic damage but otherwise acting as missiles. Named after the military scientist that first thought of this idea. However, each missile costs 10 credits to produce.

Aseaheru, your trait seems underwhelming. It's similar but worse than both Friends in Low Places and Totalitarian. Perhaps pick one of those, or pm me a possible new trait?

[10ebbor10]

Anyway, who is in? Because we have 6 players who posted sheets, and only 4 slots.

[Skyrunner]

The first four people are!

Assuming people are still interested after the first ten turns, somebody might be rotated out.
