Actually, this is not like CYOF at all, but I like it a lot. Let me get this straight, you are a freelancer or someone who is creating their own faction, or are you an existing FL faction? But, how do you get money?

If you wanna make this like CYOF, then you might wanna get your own Proboards site or something, since TLR already has one CYOF. But, I like it the way it is now, except for a few bugs.

lol forgot to post bases you can buy

Defense turret platforms- 3,000 each

Base
------

very light base-50,000 can destroy 10 enemy vessels before it dies
light base-100,000 can kill 20
standard base-150,000 can kill 30
heavy base-200,000 can kill 40
Very Heavy base-250,000 can kill 50
Custom base-Determins on how good you want it to be.


Fighting
--------------

Fighting is a matter of witts, I've posted what can take down what. Moderators can decide who won the battle if only fighters are involved. You may also capture bases if you have at least triple the ships the enemy has at the battle location.

Getting money- You can get money buy selling commodoties, or performing special deeds for other people. If you post a job you must pay the faction that completed it. IF YOU REFUSE TO PAY THE DOMINION REVOLUTION WILL GO TO WAR WITH YOU!!!!!!!

Wich brings me to a point, I am the Dominion Revolution. I have no need for money or ships because I can destroy you with a single click of my mouse. Going to war with me would be suicide. I can also punish you for small time cheating by stealing your cash or giving bases to other people. Start your profiles after this message. Have question e-mail me at [email protected]

I'd normally join, this thing sounds pretty cool. but I'm going to be too involved with CYOF 3 sorry.

Post Thu Dec 23, 2004 7:40 am

i'll join, i tried CYOF, but it didn't work for me. just a few questions. do you control the faction, or are you the leader and you control his/her actions. do you get to make up a faction? and what about battleships and transports and other things like that?

"Death to ZugZug!" Oh, and by the way, considering I outrank you, I shouldn't have to listen to you.

Name:Santiago
Age:25
Faction+position: Corsairs, flight lieutenant
Allies: Blood Dragons, Junkers, and Spa and Cruise.
Enemies:RED HESSIANS, OUTCASTS, and Bounty Hunters.
Bio: Santiago was born on Crete, and almost imedietly became a great pilot. The Corsairs, of which Santiago's faction is, needed his kind of skill. They offered him a job, so he joined. Santiago slowly rose through the ranks, fighting the blue aliens, and also the House. Finally he have become a flight lieutenant, and am ready to face possibly the job to get me to the rank Santiago needs. Soon he might have to allie with the stragest of people. Possibly enemies of old.
Ship: Centourion.

Santiago sat at a table on Crete, taking a drink after a hard weeks work. His commander was sitting at the opposite end of the table, telling him about his next job. Santiago was being assinged a job to get rid of a convoy of transports carrying water. Since water is scarce on Crete, the Corsairs get what they can. "So your'e intrested? It's kind of ordinary," Santiago's boss asked. "Any job is a good one for me. Those Bounty Hunter traitors wont know what hit 'em."
"Good. You start right away. They are coming through the Omicron Theta system. Good luck." "Why good luck?" His boss's wyes misted over. "You'll need it. You will need it." He snaped back to normal. "Anyways, you will have a wing of Centourions to assist you. You should launch right away." Santiago sighed at the commander's behavior, and went to his ship and launched.

I don't KILL the House Factions. The House Factions just happan to fly into planets when they see me. Of course, nobody listens to me.

Name: Katok Haredni
Age: 22
Faction & Position: Black Guardians, Wing Commander.
Allies: Criminals, Traders, Freelancers.
Enemies: Defilers of the CODENAME WEAPONS, Corsairs, Bounty Hunters.
Bio: Born and raised on Freeport 7, Katok has had a hard life. Many times he has almost been killed. At the age of 12, Freeport 7 was destroyed, along with the plans he had for life. Through out the ten years that passed after that, Katok was marked for termanation by friendly government, chased down by pirates, almost sucked into a black hole, and jettisoned into space in a garbage capsule. In time, he found friends and a soulmate. They started a freelancer clan, going about taxing passerbys, killing "enemies", and just hanging out. This Clan grew to a faction. The name "Black Gaurdians" now puts fear into even the bravest adventurer, if they want a CODENAME WEAPON. The Black Gaurdians understood the importance of these relics, and intends to keep them safe.
Ship: Dagger.

Katok flew in circles around his small base in Tau 29. It was small, but it meant salvation. Everywhere the Black Guardians went, Bounty Hunters and other people followed them. Even Zoner bases weren't much help now, which is why this small base was so important to him. Only about 25-50 other pilots were there to help him. It took long wnough, but it worked. Hardly even a faction. lot of other daggers and assorted ship types circled the station, making sure it was operational and stable.
"This is Katok. I need to Dock."
"Roger that. Proceed to dock 1." Katok docked with the station.

Remaining credits: 0
Purchases: 15 daggers, 20 Hawks. A very light space station.

Name:Santiago

As Santiago launched, he got a message on his nural net: "Hey, thought you'd wouldn't come!" He got a wave of satisfaction. His wing was solely composed of his friends. "Hey, lets go kick some bounty hunter butt," Santiago replied. Then a question popped up. "WHAT WOULD BOUNTY HUNTERS WANT WITH WATER?!?!?!?!?!" As they got to open space in Omicron Theta, 5 wings of baracudas came rushing from all sides. "It's a trap!"

Post Thu Dec 23, 2004 10:51 am

you don't know how long it would take. 9 systems is 9 systems. In my case, of traveling through hostile territory. Besides, by the time i got there, you would be dead.
