Alright, i'll wait for Nirur Turir and then i'll post up everything.

[Jetsquirrel]

could i join? as a side commander or officer of someone?

[Nirur Torir]

Sorry, I'm weak and sleep too much.

Confederation of Tau Ceti

Tau Ceti was the test system of the Anchorage class long-ranged colony ship design. The Galactic Manufacturing corporation wanted to study how the colonists of six ships would behave if left alone for 15 years, intending to shuttle more colonists to the system after the allotted time. The colonists weren't supposed to know, but a mole leaked the information to their now annoyed leader. The corporation went bankrupt after eight years, costing millions of UAE citizens their jobs.

The colonists settled on Tau Ceti II, a barren world. Through ingenuity, they succeeded in building the manufacturing and economic capabilities needed to leave the planet in ten years. Their population may be low, but their improvised automation technology almost makes up for it.

-----

Build orbital drydock.
Build asteroid-tugs, to move ore-rich asteroids into orbit of Tau Ceti IV. Build them on the surface of the planet.
Research cloning vats. I need more population.

(Please tell us what planets are in our systems.)

[Keita]

Tracking game. Looks awesome

Yes. You just have to find a empire to take you.

I'm going to roll my dice now to determine the planets in your system
First roll:The roll that determines how many planets are in your system.
Then i will roll the six-side die however many planets you have to determine their class.
Will post it up soon...
EDIT:I will also use this system for whenever you discover another system. here
1-Gas giant
2-Venusian
3-Plutonian/Mercurian world
4-Barren
5-Martian
6- Earth-like

[x2yzh9]

Republic of Proxima Centauri-(5) 5 planets
(5,3,3,3,4)
1 Mercurian world
2 Plutonian worlds
1 Barren World
1 Martian World

Democracy of Alpha Centauri-(3) 3 planets
(4,5,6,)Wow! And i'm not lieing. The random dice generated those, heh.
1 Barren world
1 Martian world
1 Earth-like world

Confederation of Tau Ceti(3) 3 planets
(4,3,1)
1 Barren world
1 Mercurian World
1 Gas giant

Gas giants are colonizable, because for all intents and purposes there's some form of a moon around them because i mean, what gas giant doesn't have moons? In any event i messed up a wee bit with alpha centauri. it's 5 turns away, next turn i'll update the starmap so it's 4 turns away. Since it's 4.2 lightyears away IRL.

[Phantom]

Settle on the earthlike planet.

Build a Research Center.
Progress on Research?

See what the public wants.

[Dyjeccu]

Proxima Centauri



Cerberus is the second planet (Mercurian, asteroid belt, Martian, Barren, Plutonian, Plutonian)

I read Mercurian as extremely hot, while Plutonian as extremely cold.
Please describe the difference between martian and barren.

Barren=Like the moon.

Basically, Gas Giants are the hardest to settle and produce[because of the difficulties involved in settling all of the moons and finding water and stuff) and earth-likes are the easiest, so it's like a graph of difficulty and production. Earth-likes obviously produce the most and have the most bonuses while the lower you go, the bonuses go down. By the way, how'd you get that photo Dyjeccu? And yes, mercurian is extremely hot, while plutonian is extremely cold. But, mercurian is better then venusian because it doesn't have all that greenhouse gases, so it's not as hot as a venusian planet.

[Dyjeccu]

Understood.
The layout image was drafted in five minutes. Once fleets start moving I will produce more.

TURN 1:Humble Beginnings

Year 2238 AD

(86)A random event has happened.

Spoiler: Republic of Proxima Centauri (click to show/hide)

(81)Your engineers discover, a little bit into making the asteroid mining drones that there was a stockpile of some in storage, a little over what you ordered. They finish the repairs this year.

The interstellar probes are set for completion next year, light drives aren't cheap, ye know. They also take a while to build.

The research laboraties finish construction, and the long range scanner array has 3 years to go if it to be effective at all.

(27) Your scientists report that it would be practically impossible to design a colony ship that could be both space-bound or planet bound, but self-sufficient either way. They end up creating a design for a space-station like ship that has light drive and quadruple ion engines. It would take 5 years to build, they say.

(41)Your scientists research a factory ship, they discover that it'd be immensly hard to build a factory ship capable of doing most things, so they come with a design of a ship able to refine iron into steel at a rate of 500 tons per year, taking 4 years to build.

Random Event:(28)In January, sensors detected a ship with a unkown ID moving towards Ceberus. It was hailed and did not respond, so the plasma batteries planetside began charging by default. After numerous hails it still did not respond, and the batteries fired. To the suprise of everyone, a weird wave rippled in front of the ship as the plasma missiles were close to hitting, and the plasma missiles deflected off. Needless to say, they were not happy. A battle ensued, and approximately 4,000 colonists were killed out of the 200,000 on the planet. The enemy ship was destroyed via a tactical nuclear strike, but it still came as a shock to everyone. You sent a report to the UAE, set to arrive in 4 years(Since messages only move at the speed of light)

Population:195,320 Colonists

Spoiler: Confederation of Tau Ceti (click to show/hide)

(98!) Through unbelievable determination, you complete the orbital drydock thise year!

(10) The asteroid tugs are set for completion in 5 years, since they are rather immense and a engineering feat as well.

(21)The scientists remark "Cloning Vats? Hah! We'll see if we are even able to build such a huge facility, it will probably take years!" The estimated completion date for the project is 7 years.

Random Event:(42)Stocks have been down this year, stemming immigration to the system substantially. Your population is at 10,000

Population:10,000 Colonists

Spoiler: Democracy of Alpha Centauri (click to show/hide)

(92)The scientists finish research on Gauss rifles, using immense brainpowar.

(11)Research on the anti-vehicle walkers doesn't go so well. They state that you would only be able to produce 100 per year, and knowledge on how to operate them would take 4 years of training for someone. They say that it would probably take 5 years for them to research it, but they do start researching.

(63)Your scientists are making progress, and they say they should have a design for the anti-infantry in 2 years.

(3)The research lab fails spectacularly. A week in, a fire starts and they have to shut it down.

(100!)Your engineers work together through the year, throwing every bone and minute into the construction of the Archangel. It is completed, with 4 plasma batteries and 2 30cm lasers.

(59)You ask the public what they want, and they remark that they are quite content, but would like to see more operations put into bringing animals from Earth for pets and viewing throughout the planet.

Random Event:(62)You have experienced some better immigration and economic prosperity this year.

Population:7,431,564 Colonists

Spoiler: Starmap (click to show/hide)

Nice first turn everyone. Hm.

[Nirur Torir]

Confederacy of Tau Ceti

could i join? as a side commander or officer of someone?

You may work under me, if you wish. Most of my ships will focus on big guns, with as many shields and armor as I can stick on them. Electronic warfare will be secondary, although I'm not sure how much good it will do on big ships. Fleet leader or planetary leader, your choice. It's a confederacy, after all.

Confederation of Tau Ceti(3) 3 planets
(4,3,1)
1 Barren world
1 Mercurian World
1 Gas giant

Inside, I cry.

--- Turn ---

Orbital drydock will aid in the tug construction.
Scientific studies will continue on cloning vats.
Construction will begin on a state-of-the-art research facility.

[Phantom]

A VICTORY FOR THE DEMOCRACY!

Bring in the animals.

This time, for Anti Vehicle Walkers, make the "Knight", same as the Paladin, except without the missiles, smoke grenade launcher, and the 20mm Machine gun on the back.

Send the Archangel out to put colonists on the Earth like planet. About 500,000.

Um, your already settled there.

This is set 77 years after Alpha cent. got colonized, 43 after proxima cent. got colonized, and 10 years after Tau Ceti got colonized.

So your colonies are automatically on the most ideal planets in-system.

[Phantom]

Oh, then keep the Archangel here for defense and training purposes.

Build a Military Training center.
