You forgot my VHF research results. And correct me if I am worng, I believe the rules say that corperations can't PURCHASE capital ships, because that is why I built specificly Kusari capital ship because coperation couldn't build them

Most people fear the unknown.
Most people haven't met me.

uurgh...too much math...*gurglegurlgll....* *Wilde drowns in his own despair,...*

We have to post ALL our ship stats and ALL our bases? *The resurfaced Wilde drowns again*
Instead of posting our ship stats--this is just a suggestion--why don't you edit the post on ship stats whenever someone's goes up?
going to KILL him...meeheeeheeehee...

ggururgugull.....damn you...d...amn...y......

These are the battles I know are happening and the Rhineland troops in them
Tau 23: Ceasefire. The Outcasts are being attacked by Kusari, Rhineland, Bretonia, the GMG, and the IMG.
Omicron Beta: Ceasefire. Outcasts are attacked by the GMG...
Hudson: Attack on the Rogue base (Rhineland). 30 LF wings, 2 HF wings, 2 VHF wings, 1 gunboat vs. 5 Rogue LF wings
Bering: Unioners attack on the Xeno base, aided by Rhineland. 10 LF wings and 2 cruisers are attacking the Xeno base (sorry, I don't know how many Unioner troops there are attacking the base)

*Holds up IMG base and fleet listings.*

Don't make me post these, Wilde.

Post Fri Nov 12, 2004 5:19 am

6 LF wings Wilde ( should have bought a bomber wing instead of 2 Lf wings grrr.. )

Post Fri Nov 12, 2004 5:40 am

To gunblader:

To have "purchased" a Kusari capital ship requires that I have sold you a Kusari capital ship since I am the only one who can build them. I don't recall doing that.
I can't understand why you would want a warship unless you felt that the protection of your House inadequeate.

To quote a famous lord of the sith " I find your lack of faith disturbing."

Post Fri Nov 12, 2004 7:06 am

vortic's right. Kusari battleships don't sell themselves. You have to buy them FROM someone, as opposed to just buying them out of thin air. I, for example, cannot build battleships but COULD purchase one from Bretonia if the need were ever to arise.

Jacob, light fighter research was in Fighter Attack.

And the two new systems are christened Curral and Vasaya. Where are they on the map?

Post Fri Nov 12, 2004 7:14 am

On an entirely unrelated note, I'm still feeling plenty of tension here. For one thing, I'm getting tired of the Zoners undercutting my metal industry.

Fine, I won't require all those stats.
I just thought it would make your posts more organized.

Arillias, change the research to whatever it was. Sorry if I got mixed up.

Outcast, the calc should have stopped all those calculations, so things are more simple. It annoys me when people complain about doing math when there is really none to do. You just have to punch in a few numbers.

Message to All:

The Bretonian government is most dismayed at the attempts of otherwise legitimate organizations to deal with pirates. Anyone who has attempted communications with factions deemed criminal by the Bretonian authorities for the purposes of peace is now considered an enemy of Bretonia. All previous alliances and trade agreement are cancelled. We will hunt you all down and destroy you. Do not beg for mercy, you shall receive none.

(OOC: Dammit! I’m starting a war even if it kills me!)
In other words, I’m going kamikaze on everything. If it moves and it isn’t Bretonian (BMM, Planetform, and other Bretonian corporations are therefore not being attacked) and I have ships near it I’m attacking it. Enjoy calculating that, Jacob.

(This ain't gonna be pretty; fun, messy, and entertaining, yes, but not pretty; and here come's the obligatory doomed-to-certain-failure plea to stop.)

Message to the King of Bretonia

Your Majesty, I beg of thee to cease this war. Nothing can be gained from attacking otherwise innocent groups.

Signed, Guildmaster of the IMG

(We're on turn 9, aren't we? I'll post the rest of the turn later, but for now, here are my fleet movements.)

(currently, I have 15 Heavy Fighters and 165 Light Fighters in Tau-23, 5 Heavy Fighters in Dublin, 10 Light Fighters in Magellan, Cambridge, and Tau-37, and numerous groups of light security lances of 5 each elsewhere)

10 Heavy Fighters and 85 Light Fighters will fly from Tau-23 to Dublin by means of Jump Holes and Jump Gates.

All remaining forces in Tau-23 will position themselves in Tau-31. The 5 Light Fighters at Omega-7 have been redeployed to Cambridge, with plans for further reinforcements from the ships at Tau-31. The ships in Tau-37 have flown in to Tau-31.

There. That should cover all my interests near Bretonia.
