The Swarm has been added to the list.
Now waiting for The Swarm and Terrapin.

[NAV]

Drop out at the Terrapin

[Andres]

Since this is competitive multiplayer, I suggest you put a hard time limit before a turn is done. I recommend either a 12-hour, 18-hour, or 24-hour format. It is very boring to have to wait for other players to post their actions.

[10ebbor10]

On a side note, it doesn't really matter to wait for the Terrapin.

Everyone drops out together.

[Chiefwaffles]

Alright, going to take the suggestions and start to do a time limit. Going to go for roughly 24 hours, but that's subject to change. Though I will stretch it a bit in certain cases due to either players or me.
This is a super mini update, anyways. The real game starts here.

Oh, and I'd like it if you put the name of your ship before each action.

Within the span of a few seconds, the spacecraft begin to jump out of hyperspace.
The HMS Inception, USS Moray, Swarm, Q, CDN-1 Seraphim, Queen Anne's Revenge AND Terrapin all drop out near each other.
The ships are all within weapon range of each other, and explosions are bound to start occurring soon.

Mysteriously, the captain of the Terrapin seems to of locked himself in his room, so the crew dropped it out where it is now.

[Andres]

So how do we do actions now? PM? Spoilers? Open?

[Chiefwaffles]

Preferably either spoilers or open.
If someone does put their actions in a spoiler, all the other players are expected to not open them.
For open, just don't act on it.

If you really want to, you can PM me.

If anyone want specifics about general combat stuff, just ask. (Like how does [sci-fi thing] work and how do I use it, not as in "how do you determine the outcome")

[Andres]

Spoiler: HMS Inception (click to show/hide)

Send 2 fighters against Q's fighters. Beam turrets will ward off enemy aircraft. Send shuttle with all 20 marines to board Q. Use High Power Beam to tear hole through Q's shield so shuttle can pass through.

[~Neri]

((Pssst~ There aren't any aircraft in space, they're spacecraft~

[Andres]

((If there's no air in space then how come Jimmy Neutron could talk in it without a helmet? Checkmate, atheists.))

[10ebbor10]

This is a message from the Q to the Swarm, the Seraphim and the HMS inception. Your ships are now subordinated to the Q mainframe. Your orders are to defend the Q mainframe. Mutiny, insubordination or rebellion will be met by swift destruction.

From the Swarm, we request 5 fighters to maintain point defense around our vessel. We have no specific orders for either the Seraphim or the Inception.


Orders

Use the Spine beam to obliterate the Swarm if they don't follow my friendly request..

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Fighters are to defend the ship.
Bomber remains in hangar for now.

If either the Seraphim or the Inception turns against me, obliterate them.

If none of them do, fire the Spine beam at the Terrapin.

If anyone fires at me, retreat.

[Unholy_Pariah]

USS Moray.

Spoiler: Orders (click to show/hide)

Perform offensive retreat. Aka shoot someone while retreating from weapons range.

Targetting priority:
anyone attacking me.
Terrapin.

Spoiler: Orders (click to show/hide)

"Kindly" reject Q's proposal with a beam gatling to the face, followed by a missile launch. Seraphim will then go full evasive maneuvers using the overpowered engines, with the beam turrets set to pd

[Kashyyk]

Spoiler: Queen Anne's Revenge (click to show/hide)

Launch all four fighters in a screen around the ship, to defend it from incoming one man craft, bombers and missiles. Depending on how shields work, try to keep within the shield bubble when not actively intercepting something.

Have the marines ready to board the shuttle.

Move towards Q, and open fire with the DEC.
