Could we get some hard rules on how much we can do each turn?

[x2yzh9]

I..Really can't think of anything. Suggestions are welcome.

[Dyjeccu]

-Republic of Proxima Centauri-
Year 43PC  - Disaster!
Search the system with all spare vehicles for all remains of the alien craft, return them to Cerberus research complex. Collect and exhaustively review all surveillance recording for more information about the invaders. Redouble efforts to complete the long range sensors.
Hold a service for the dead, mourning the loss of so many of our so few. Create an observed holiday.


-Cerberus-

Surface
Completed: Habitats (184,734 colonists)
                    Planetary Labs x2
                    Factory
In progress:  -Long range scanner array (Three years)
Research queue:  -Develop a method to harness x-ray-heavy light to improve currently limited solar power generation
                         -Design interceptors

Orbit
Completed:  Habitats (9,784 colonists)
                     Shipyard
In progress:  -Three interstellar probes w/light drives  (This year)- When complete, launch to Apollo, Shakar, and Yuri.
                  -Orbital drydock

-Asteroid belt-
Completed: Habitats (802 colonists)
Send the mining swarm to begin operation, ferry ores to Cerberus

Designs: Habitats (? build)
               Surface Lab (? build)
               Orbital drydocks (? build)
               Surface factory (? build)
               Colony station (5y build)
               Mobile ore refinery (4y build)

Colonist total: 195,320               
Edit: updated to reflect production rule clarifications. Could we get build times on the existing facilities?

[Dyjeccu]

One item per factory or lab facility per year:

Time required or dc increased by excess quantity requested, overly complex request, lack of resources, lack of plans, etc

Time required or dc reduced with plans, suitable resources, multiple facilities, small quantities requested, simple requests, etc

Assume one research lab, one planetary factory, and one orbital factory starting (Now two labs for RPC, two orbital factories for CTC), each. This seems to be what you have defaulted to already.

[x2yzh9]

Sounds good Dyjeccu

[Nirur Torir]

In addition to Dyjeccu's idea, perhaps there could be one facility allowed per planet class? A gas giant would have one max, while an Earth-like would have a limit of 6.

[x2yzh9]

For the most part, i agree, except x3

A gas giant could have 3 facilities max, since one facility per planet class is a little harsh. So, i'm going to leave it up to you guys. x1 facilities per planet class, x2 facilities per planet class, or x3 facilities per planet class?

Oh, and by the way Nirur, you might want to post your turn 

[Dyjeccu]

Currently each system maxed with x1--
Tau Ceti 8
Alpha Centauri 15
Proxima Centauri 18

I cant see myself producing more than 18 without leaving my system- with the slow travel times we will have nothing but enormous fleet engagements.

What if labs and factories are independent? ie, 18 & 18 or 36 & 36 or 54 & 54..

[Nirur Torir]

I did post my turn. It's just a footnote at the bottom of the post. Although I guess it needs amending.

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.
Planetary shipyard will continue tug construction.
Scientific studies will continue on cloning vats.
Planetary factory will build a naval officer academy.

I prefer 1x, with the possibility for upgrades. It makes it easier for you to track, which is a good thing. It'll annoy me, but I can find an undefended system somewhere. Or buy out some neighbors.
Idea: What about tracking the average abilities of ship factories? IE: Factory A averages 3 small ships, 1 medium ship, or 1/5 of a large ship per turn. Factory B can produce 5 small ships or 1 medium ship, but lacks the abilities to build large ships.

[Dyjeccu]

.. Factory A averages 3 small ships, 1 medium ship, or 1/5 of a large ship per turn. Factory B can produce 5 small ships or 1 medium ship, but lacks the abilities to build large ships.

Exactly what I have been thinking.

[x2yzh9]

Alright, ma peeps. It is time for...

TURN 2:Mortal Curiosity

Year 2239 AD

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

(21)Extensive searches are held for the alien remains of ships, but you fail to find any. They seem to have just drifted away in space.

A holiday is dedicated on that day. For that day, work stops, and people mourn the loss of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters. People gather at the capital that day and sit in a moment of silence for the departed ones.

(34)Your scientists try every way to harness solar power more effectively, but they fail to understand it at all. With great dismay they state that a pair of expensive solar satellites would have to be setup as close to the star as they could get for it to be substantially more effective. It would take 2 years to build and 1 year to effectively deploy.

(58)Your scientist make some leeway on the interceptors, and say they should have a working design in one year. For one year to build a fleet of 5 interceptors.

The light probes are completed and sent to the respective stars.
Apollo-7 Years
Shakar-6 Years
Yuri-8 Years

(28)The orbital drydock is set for completion the year after next. Meaning they take 2 years to build apparently.

(98!)The ores start ferrying, and it's a 'gold mine'! Not in the literal sense, but there's probably 10 metric shittons of ore out there!

Population:210,320

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

(11)The orbital drydock doesn't seem very affective when helping with the tug construction, only decreasing construction time by one year.

(24)The naval academy seems to take 3 years to build, if it is to be at all effective. You have 2 years to go now, since you started construction this year.

Population:13,000 Colonists

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

(73)The military training center has about a year to go, you have a large population yes, but only a portion of that isn't half brain-dead, and then a portion of that only has the qualifications to build sucha  thing as a military training center! Still, it is due for completion next year.

(93)The animals are brought in and adapt greatly to Alpha Centauri!

(67)Now that the design is less complicated, the 'Knight' is due for design completion in 2 years, taking 2 years to produce a squad of 10.

Population:7,531,564

Spoiler: Starmap (click to show/hide)

[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.

You messed up a bit.

[x2yzh9]

Mkay, fixed the turn info.

[Phantom]

When I was building a Paladin, you said a I could build 100 per year when they were ready and it takes 4 years to train a guy to pilot it. Thats messed up if I could make a trained squad of "Knight" Walkers in two years.

[x2yzh9]

Yea, i messed up on the paladin. But for all intents and purposes, the new knight design is as said.
