So, as stated earlier, my newest effort shall be something of an experiment.

More specifically: My nation does not yet exist - it will slowly become a more material thing as the roleplay progresses. For the time being, I imagine I will be working with most of you on a collaborative basis. I will be sending pertinent details to (some) posters with posted nation sheets.

Ooooh. Interesting. I don't think I've seen something like that before.

For what it's worth, I'll be watching with interest.

BTW, how large are the warships of people?
Mine would be between 200-800m with Vega-class being around 675m.
Although I plan to have my ships being relatively small compared to what everyone else has.

@Keyguyperson I hate play-to-winners in play-by-posts, so no reinforcements here.


I'm just imaging your nation calling for reinforcements, getting put on hold for a few weeks, told that they are currently number 999,999,999 in a queue of callers, and then when your main nation responds it's an automated message telling you they're sorry but they are unable to respond at this moment and they apologize for the inconvenience.

I haven't actually thought too much on the details, to be honest. Though I've been thinking of them usually being on the larger side. And now that I'm thinking about it, it would actually make sense. The Simulacrum aren't big fans of violence, so if they can intimidate people into not fighting them then all the better.

@Willy Vereb Asivar- and Smite-class ships can be considered city-size though rare. Lower classes are still pretty huge. Much like the Simulacrum the Asivar Theocracy depends greatly on large ships. Because their warp-drive increases in size exponentially depending on mass. In other words, only really god damn big ships can hold the Faith Engine and the Enlightenment Engine big enough to warp it in and out. Same goes for the Yvuïn ships. Their doctrine is that either their small ships (Deliverance bomber and Emissary fighters) are capable of taking down a foe or they must slam it down like a mosquito should the smaller ships not be capable enough.

That's....108 miles.

For reference, Cuba is about 760 square miles.

By my limited understanding of maths....

It'd...it'd crush a good seventh of Cuba by landing. Cuba is also, at the largest, 55 miles wide. It couldn't even land on Cuba without hitting ocean....

Mm. I'll be frank, I really really get jumpy when that sort of size is thrown around. The GM's made their judgement however.

So.

*Puts the Neo-Soviets on the shelf*

Another time then. I've got too many bad feelings about where this is headed.

Hope you guys have fun.

@Ophidian don't let me scare you off, I have about the most impractical fleet in the RP. it's small enough of a fleet that you can... fly around it. I'm going for an interesting dynamic, not to kill everyone ever.

Has the Universal Union not invented the concept of turrets? Or are most of the guns too large to mount of a swivel, or something? Honest question, I'm just curious because it's probably the one thing that stuck out at me (aside from the size).

@TheSovereignGrave they do have turrets, but main guns are not on a swivel. it's the main guns that count.

@Keyguyperson

All the info I sent you on the Neo-Sovs? (sorry for drowning you in text) You've been a friend, so you can make use of it for your faction if you so wish.

@Ophidian don't let me scare you off, I have about the most impractical fleet in the RP. it's small enough of a fleet that you can... fly around it. I'm going for an interesting dynamic, not to kill everyone ever.

I'll be honest. I've had people swear the same thing, up and down. It's never turned out well. The lack of reinforcements did alleviate my fears, but the ships that could rearrange the geography of a fair amount of earthbound nations simply by landing rather served to reignite them.

But the rulings been made, and I'm not the type to continue to demand an RPG change to accommodate my preferences once the GM has had their say. So I'll simply have to wait for one that does.

As I said, I hope everyone has fun.

@Ophidian except none of them are designed for reentry. I'm not going to kill you by just landing on a planet over and over, the army is for the ground. I don't think I'll be killing anybody, in fact. not the UU style to kill off other species when they could make them a client state and leech their tech designs.

edit: and to be perfectly clear, 20 ships and 10k troops could hold maybe a single solar system and a portion of a planet. any further, and you're going into overextension.
