Space Battles V: Warlords

It was a time of war and loss but also of hope. It was the Galactic Civil War. It was your war, whether you sought to crush the fledging Republic or to overthrow the Galactic Empire. It was your war until they took you. On a planet- familiar but out of place you awake, upon a throne. Around you, servants cheer as your eyes catch first light. Before you, an empty visage floats, bearing these words, "Awake! Warlords of the galaxy, awake!", you peer with interest, "The time for battle has come. Gather your forces, a galaxy stands before you. Your galaxy. Your prize!". The face fades, and the servants turn to you. Will you fall to greater forces, or will you take you rightful place? Let the war begin.

Introduction

Yes, here we again with Space Battles! This time, it will work! The game itself will harkens back to the first two iterations of the game. After seeing Space Battles III fall to pieces, and the ambitious disaster that was Space Battles IV, I thought I?d try to bring this back. The game is quite simple. Buy and build your vessels and facilities, send your fleets across the stars to conquer and entangle yourself in dubious alliances.

The Basics

The game is played through posting in this thread. The GMs (Ton_G and AdmiralNick22 will mediate battles and other conflicts. All information regarding actions (construction, movement and battles) is posted in the main thread. No end of the treachery is sure to be found in private messages I?m sure.

Structure Construction

Construction in this game is simple. In order produce a structure you must be able to afford it with you Resource Points, or RP. Resource Points are gained through mining. Each planet has at least one mine. These mines produce 25 Resource Points each, per day.

Planetary structures (mines and defenses) each take up one building slot per structure. Each planet has ten building slots total. To build a structure, you must have room on the designated planet. One building may be constructed per twenty-four hours.

The time for constructing any building is one full day from the time you declare construction. (When declaring construction, state when it will be finished- board time).

Construction halts if the planet falls under attack. If enemy forces are in the system without assaulting the planet, construction continues, even under bombardment. Because battles take place out of regular time, structures may be completed but not considered in the battle (if one takes place).


Starship Construction

Constructing starships is an easy affair. All starships are bought with Resource Points. Ten starships may be built at any time, including fighter squadrons. The time required to build a vessel depends upon its size. A fighter squadron requires six hours.
A light capital vessel requires twelve hours. A medium capital vessel requires twenty-four hours. A heavy capital vessel requires forty-eight hours. A massive capital vessel requires ninety-six hours. The Super Star Destroyer requires one week.

Construction begins when it is declared. Queuing construction in advance is possible, albeit, unfavorable.

Construction halts if the system falls under attack. If enemy forces are in the system without taking any action- construction continues.

Upkeep

Upkeep in this game is simple- armies and starships require certain amount of upkeep. You can have as many vessels as your total upkeep allows. Total upkeep is the sum of all the upkeep for each of your planets (500 per planet). If you have one planet you can support 500 points of upkeep, if you have two planets, 1000 points and so on.

If you should lose a source of upkeep, you ensure that you do not exceed you resource limit. If you do, you must deactivate enough vessels and armies (they are not destroyed) to ensure that you

Like I told Nick when he talked about this RP to me, I was wondering about being a pirate. Just a random pest to all factions, ya know?

 

Here you go everyone! The link to the construction tables!

Construction Lists - Kudos to KightHawk for hosting!

And as a gift for all players- All of your planets now have with a Small Planetary Shield.

Now before we begin- let's leave Dak and Admiral_Patrick (if he is still playing) alone until they get there fleet lists up. Effectively, Bakura and Fondor are off limits.

To all those wishing to play a minor role in the game; pirates/raiders et al, we will see about that in due time!

Now Let's Get Started

 

The First Update- Let's get going!
