I'll take it.  Give me a second to read the thread.

[Toaster]

Research:  Research  (Super creative!)

New ship designs:
Light Escort, Escort  (1200)
  1 Hull
  1 Laser

Colonizer, Shepard  (6600)
  1 Hull
  1 Colonization Module


Build:
1 Light Escort
1 Colonizer

Total cost:  7800

I assume we can't order a ship the turn we build it?

Correct.

[Toaster]

Since engines aren't required, you should rename them thrusters or boosters or something, since they're quick maneuver units.

I assume we're allowed to negotiate via PM with other players?  If so, should we copy you?

Will you require "stepping stone" techs if we research something super advanced?  For example, if I want to build a black hole generator, I imagine I'm fairly short on the baseline techs.

[kilakan]

posting to watch because this looks really cool.

Maybe... If a player requests something powerful then I might require that player to level up the tech all the way to level 6 before it can be used, or somewhere in between depending on just how powerful it would be.


All research failed except Adwarf's Planetary Batteries research.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

-Planetary Batteries: This is a ground installation. Adds an additional attack in orbital combat but does not provide a destructible target. Will be captured if a colonizer lands. Costs 3000.
--Level 1: Deals 1 damage.

Adwarf also only gets 9 Stingrays due to limited resources, No idea how he figured he could get 16.

Exkirby didn't provide a name for his ship so I just called it a Laserbox.

Spoiler: Known Techs (click to show/hide)

-Research: Allows research, higher levels increase chance of success. There is also a chance of critical success, which causes an extra level of research in a turn. One research is allowed per turn. CANNOT BE RESEARCHED PAST LEVEL 6!
--Level 1: 1/6th chance of success, 1/6th chance of critical success. Starting tech.

-Hull: Building blocks for spacecraft. A spacecraft needs at least one hull per other part added. Costs 600 per Hull.
--Level 1: 1 HP. Starting tech.

-LASERs: Basic weapon. Costs 600.
--Level 1: Deals 1 damage. Starting tech.

-Engines: Provides defense against attacks by giving a chance for evasion. Each engine can only effect one attack per round, adding additional engines allow evasion of more attacks on a successful evasion roll. Costs 600.
--Level 1: 1/6th chance of evasion. Starting tech.

-Colonization module: Allows a ship to take control of a neutral or enemy planet, provided it survives combat. If a ship is ordered to colonize, it is disassembled. Research only effects cost.
--Level 1: Costs 6000. Starting tech.

-Starbase: Can be constructed above any planet you control. A starbase is immobile but heavily armed, is required(at first) to produce ships, and may repair damaged ships. Repairs itself after combat. Costs 6000.
--Level 1: Has 10 HP and 5 LASERs. Starting tech.

-Planetary Batteries: This is a ground installation. Adds an additional attack in orbital combat but does not provide a destructible target. Will be captured if a colonizer lands. Costs 3000.
--Level 1: Deals 1 damage.

[Taricus]

Research research again...

Colonization vessel heads to PX-1, and colonizes it. The fighter heads with it as an escort.

[adwarf]

Research Mining to increase income of resources.

[Sheb]

Look good, posting to watch.

Adwarf, you should edit your turn rather than just post here if you want to change your research.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Adwarf, you should edit your turn rather than just post here if you want to change your research.

Huh?

From what I'm seeing, he got his Planetary Batteries, he's just providing the next research topic he wants, it also seems he's keeping his small army of stingrays on standby.

[adwarf]

Yep SHAD0W is right, and those Stingrays are for planet defense, escort units, or fodder for fleets.

[Sheb]

Ooooops, I somehow missed the fact that there was a new turn. You must have posted it while I was reading, my mistake.

Spoiler: Orders (click to show/hide)

Research:  Research

Build:  Nothing

Orders:  Both ships head to PX-12.  Colonize it.  (or next turn if I can't this turn.)

[Terenos]

Resouces: 4,200
Research: Mining

Construction:
2x Dirk: 1x Hull, 1x Laser (Cost 1200, Total cost 2400)

Fleet Movements
Colony Vessel to PX-2, Colonize if possible.
1x Peeping Tom to each PX-4, PX-9.

Taricus, A border agreement?

[Toaster]

Did you mean Taricus or me?  I ask because we're right across each other from PX-9.  I'm open to negotiations with you regarding that planet, because it has access to both our homeworlds.
