The Control Your Own Faction RPG: Part 3, The Age of War- Th

Tue Dec 28, 2004 6:53 am by Wilde

I'll say this again--the locking the system thing is about keeping battles in certain divisions. I push forces into a system, they meet up with your forces, a few minutes of quick shots and explosions and then its over. No time to send reinforcements. I'm actually fine with it--it makes you think exactly how ready would you be in any given system for an attack--and therefore strengthens your defence and strategy.

What's more of a problem for me--this is better addressed in #4--is the FA FD CA CD. Why would fighters not have a specific attack and defence?

I think the new stats should be: Attack, Defense, and Versatility. Attack=how much damage ship X inflicts. Defense=How powerful an attack it takes for the ship to succumb. Versatility: How easily (in percentage) X can dodge an attack.

E.G: Kusari LF: Attack 4, Defense 3, Versatility 50%

These arguments make a good point but they are really starting to clutter up the game thread. I posted a temporary OOC thread until ww2jacob gets back. Could we please move these discussions there?

Turn 6

This turn I will:

A. Place 3 VHF wings in the Omicron Alpha system.

B. Purchase 2 large bases, 1 LF wing, and 1 tech research (I will decide what it goes to once I find out the status of my bomber tech I researched last turn).

C. Still waiting on my research results.

D. I am offering a trade agreement of metal or H-fuel to any friendly faction for credits. Please post if you are interested.

Ok, I'm back. Real life has been crazy since X-mas, and I haven't had much computer time. I apologize for not being here.

I kinda lost Codename and Wilde partway through their argument about the battle system. Can someone please fill me in about what you are talking about, exactly? And please, can you post all your OOC argumental crap in the OOC thread in the discussion board? I would appreciate you not cluttering this thread.

Unfortunatly, I will have little or no time tommorow to post, due to a concert I am performing in downtown. I will answer as much as I can today, but I don't think I can get to everything.

Could everyone post their pending results so I can get some results? Sorry to ask this again, but there are like 10+ pages and I don't really have the time to look through them all to find all the pending results. Thanks.

Here ar the results I know so far. I will update as you guys tell me what you need:

Roc:
Explore Party - 9
Explore Party - 2
Explore Party - 8
Explore Party - 4
Explore Party - 2
Bomber Research - 7

Gunblader:
Explore Party - 7
Explore Party - 6

Codename:
LF FA - 2
Gunboat FD - 2
Gunboat FD - 2

Vordicaldwarf:
Bomber Research - 2

Captain Kill2:
Exploration Party - 1, 4

Just post what you need and I will add it to this list.

(Darn no new systems for the Rouges this game. Jakob, could we please get rid of the limit of 5 explores per faction?)

Sorry I normally do keep track but I was at my relatives with 30 people in the house and only one computer and the computer reset every half an hour. Luckily I am back at my house now so I will be able to judge much easier now.

Ok that's everyone. And congrats to Captain Kill2, the first player in CYOF 3.0 to sucessfully find a new system!
