to me, spangles star map seems awfully large.... im intimidated just looking at it.

but perhaps a simplified star map laid over it... im thinking of how star trek fan maps are drawn to show relative borders of influence, important planets, nebulae, etc

Micras would of course be considered a neutral zone.... so perhaps anyone participating in space recwars will need to declare a secondary planet homeworld as their "space capital" from which their fleets will be based?

[andreasthewise]

Micras as a neutral zone is a very good answer to the "where do people start" problem. Good work, Nathan

[Amir Shervanis]

I do like the idea of doing an overlay for the big star map.

[Nathan]

excellent. my winter break starts dec 19... ill have much more time to work on this then.

[Nathan]

also... do we extend an offer to the GSOS to include their planet as a second neutral zone ... Aura?... so that those nations may participate or will we be shamed out of existence as fantasyists?

[Amir Shervanis]

I start break the day after the 19th, so same here.

And I'm lobbying to be on the GSOS board, so hopefully I can get Will to go along with this idea. He's in Spain for a few days tho.

i had once had a thought that involved dividing weapons for a space based recwaring system into ranks.

rank 1: was defensive and anti fighter weapons

rank 2: light weapons things which would not be much of a threat to a ship with heavy armor or shields but take out lightly armored ships rather quickly

rank 3: standard weapons getting into weapons carried by larger ships the kind of things which would over time wear down more heavily defended ships

rank 4: Heavy weapons main weapons designed to deliver heavy blows to the enemy, weapons which could penetrate or disperse shields or melt/punch a hole into their ships hull.

rank 5: super weapons, huge weapons which can just tear through a ship with one use or rain destruction onto a planet.

now i realize that that system is very skeletal but it was an idea and one which i thought atleast had possiblity, could probably do a similar system for armour/shields or faster than light systems. and which ranks a ship carries of each could determine the cost

also involving surface action in any way might not be the best idea. probably more a just if you have a "colony vessel" and combat ships in orbit and the opponent doesn't you take the world in x days/hours.

but those are just my thoughts take them or leave them

yes, the tiered system of weapons is a good way to keep things relative to each other. we'll have to incorporate it.

[north]

hurray!

anyway glad you liked it and to be a bit of help

[andreasthewise]

Anything more to happen with this?

[Emperor Konrad]

something should happen. It seems to be coming along, and a Space and Future recwar sounds like a grand idea.

[Emperor Konrad]

Lets restart this discussion. How many nations claim to have satellites, spaceships, etc? That way we can invite them to participate.
