What does the 1/3, 1/1 means next to Worlds?

That is a solar system. If it says 1/3 that means you have colonized 1 out of 3 possible in that system.

A Hostile Galaxy [Science Fiction Civilization Political Simulator]

A HOSTILE GALAXY

The beginning of the 29th century is fraught with terror. Your people have, in recent times, climbed to the stars. What lies ahead, no one can guess. For hundreds of thousands of years your people have long doubted the existence of other civilizations. They are in for a great awakening.

Hey!

This is A Hostile Galaxy, a science fiction nation RP based on a few distinct game characteristics. I am known for my stat based RPs and this is no different. Let's talk about A Hostile Galaxy.

-- First Contact: Most science fiction RP's deal with bloated empires on the verge of tearing at the seams. One of this RP's great characteristics is that of first contact. All civilizations, whether they have only their home planet or several inhabited worlds, have until the first few turns of this game, will have never met another intelligent life form.
-- Diplomacy: Once first contact occurs, there will be instances of diplomacy required. These bouts of diplomacy will deal with minor civilizations controlled by myself, the moderator.
-- Economics: While keeping it simple, a base economy has been developed so that one might be able to shape themselves into an economic power.
-- War: While inevitable, war will be abstracted in sending orders and seeing them unfold in front of you. Generals, be weary.

---

Civilization Creation
There are 15 or so Characteristics, each with an underlying ability. When you create your civilization, you may select any two. Some require a certain physiology to be relevant, others are political in nature. Once you've selected your characteristics, fill out the application below and we'll get the game underway.

----------------------------------------------
CHARACTERISTICS (Choose 2)
-- Tough: A hostile life has turned our people into exceptional physical specimens. [Decreased Military Casualties]
-- Disciplined: Defeat and surrender are considered beneath us. [Military Leaders -50% Cost]
-- Curious: We have long kept our eyes to the stars, wondering what my lay in the blackness. [Starts with 3 Free Technologies]
-- Industrious: Long have our people toiled, understanding that work is freedom. [+1 Labor Per Population]
-- Spacefaring: We have already settled our solar system, seeking the secrets of the galaxy. [Starts with 3 Free Colonies]
-- Adaptive: We are well adapted to survival in all corners of the galaxy. [May colonize ANY planet type].
-- Savvy: Our people are some of the slickest dealers and traders. [Tourism / Trade generates +2 Income/Turn]
-- Deceptive: There are few things more important than secrets. [Spies have +10% Success Rates]
-- Synthetic: Having transcended biology, we are superior. [Pop is created by spending 10 Labor, not Food]
-- Wise: Our scientists are among the best, there is no doubt. [Laboratories generate +2 Science]
-- Populous: Our people will flourish, no matter the cost. [Population Growth costs -50%]
-- Charismatic: Ever have we been popular and respected. [Diplomacy costs are -20%]
-- Trustworthy: Our leaders are revered for their truth telling. [Civilization generates +1 Influence/Turn].
-- Worldeaters: We take what we want, and that is all. [Does not build buildings. Planets generate +20 Labor for 10 turns. Then 0 after that.]
-- Evolved: We have surpassed the need for technology. [Does not build buildings. Cannot trade. Requires only Labor for all units.]

INFLUENCE.. RESEARCH?! What does this all mean?! Don't worry. There are 3 Resources.

Income: This is MONEY. Generated by trade and tourism. This buys things.
Labor: This is WORK. Generated by population. This builds things.
Influence: This is political clout, generated by your leaders.

And you'll have the following:

Head of State: The leader of your civilization.
Planetary Governor (1 Per Planet): The leader of a particular planet.
General: Leader of an army.
Admiral: Leader of a space fleet.
Minister of Economics: The leader of your economy.

First application to be fully completed and fleshed out will receive a minor, secret bonus.

A Hostile Galaxy [Science Fiction Civilization Political Simulator]

Interested in playing, still tinkering with nation concepts to play as.

Could we have some examples of what we can do with Income, Labor, and Influence please? I think I have an idea for the first two, but how will influence be spent?

@Skylar

Labor = Builds things. (Buildings. Starships. Etc)

Income = Buys things. (Buildings. Starships. Etc).

They are both important, but in their own way.

A Hostile Galaxy [Science Fiction Civilization Political Simulator]

The latter sound more interesting! Either works, my man. I'd like to see a civilization not interested in making friends.

A Hostile Galaxy [Science Fiction Civilization Political Simulator]

Feel free to post an app. The system is light, the RP will be dense. :D

A Hostile Galaxy [Science Fiction Civilization Political Simulator]

No problem, Shorticus! Posting frequently isn't as groundbreaking as is sending in your budget to me. Basically your budget is at the beginning of a turn you PM me something like "I have 25 Income, I'll spend 17 on 2 Battleships and 5 on.." etc. You'll see when I get the info up. Very simple!

Would love to have you on!
