Playing as quickly as possible and making this flow. If you cannot fly your battles have someone do it. Try to have a fill in Captain on standby.</div><div><br></div><div>The game is up for suggestion on start date. But understand this. It will be a fairly short Campaign. 5 Years. 1 turn per year. And the EPs will not be high. Borders will be 3 border races.</div><div><br></div><div>It will involve the major races of the Federation Klingon area.1 player per race. So first come first serve. Starting fleet BPV will be 500. 100 per turn auto produced. No players will join after launch though a replacement player could take over for you if needed. So standby players are ok. So you get your starting fleet. Then when the turn cycles...you get 100. Thats it. Next turn you get what ever you won from scenarios + 100. This opening set up does not count as one of the 5 turns. So start year will be one year after this turn. </div><div><br></div><div>Here is the basic premise. The Universe has a plague. It is like when Kirk got split. His nice side is gone. All you have left is fear, anger, jealousy and desire to kill everyone you meet. No treaties of any kind are allowed. All scenarios will be fought...only pre disengagement allowed is if both players cannot reach each other and if the other turns and runs. So if you send a small force to sit at speed 5 somewhere in the middle of the map and an overwhelming force arrives....you will probably try and save what you can. Or you can charge and die guns blazing. </div><div><br></div><div>Size class 2 ships are not allowed. Your ship yards need to focus on building ships you can make quickly. Remember rule...S8....which covers what ships can be used and how...Out the window it goes. You want to bring a fleet of all CCs...go for it. All Carriers no escorts...works great. No ship can handle the command rating required? Who cares...its every captain for himself. They get on coms...Hey Bob...lets all shoot the Cruiser...and away they go. The standard fleet rules are failing. You want the other races dead. Simple.</div><div><br></div><div>Retreat is allowed at any time...if you can pull it off. Negotiated retreats are allowed only if you surrender at least one ship. None of this..."I am leaving is that ok???? Sure cya....stuff." You hate everyone in the Universe. No one gets a free ride. You expect to have ships killed. Because you DO NOT CARE. Your only real desire is to kill the enemy...and everyone is the enemy. Now on the other side of the coin...you realize that if trying to kill them is pure suicide. Self preservation and fear can easily make you run to save ships so you can come back and be avenged. But as mentioned...you can run from a fleet on the other edge. You cannot just disengage from a much faster fleet you cannot outrun. So choose your placement of ships wisely. You want to gather EPs or hurt your enemies not defend every clump of dirt in space. </div><div><br></div><div>No ship repairs between scenarios allowed except you can repair all shields. You can repair double your Damage control. That is all. Fighters that die are dead. Only way to replace them is by using your Damage control. 1 DC point per fighter. So you have 4 DC. You can repair 8 internal boxes. If you bring a fighter back that will also repair the fighter box if it was destroyed. Shuttles are auto available again. This is caused by the plague. The need to kill far outweighs the need to have a pretty fixed up ship. So you push for what ever repairs can be quickly. While you can use Labs and Damage control to do repairs. Just remember...DC points are now lost. You could buy a repair ship. Between scenarios it can repair one internal per repair box. But as in Star Ship Troopers, every one fights. So it has to be assigned to a scenario. It doesn't have to fight. But it is there. </div><div><br></div><div>Not sure if this will work. It requires all players to keep track of all damage to their ships. So a bit more book keeping is involved than most people are used to. If the consensus is, this is too much trouble we can dump it. I have it in there as a way to enhance the kill everything idea and worry about how to pay for it later. Or we can just use the standard if it aint Crippled its fixed. Also crippled ships may be needed in a fight as we go along.</div><div><br></div><div>Any Scenario involving Free Traders...they are all limited to WS 0 at the start. Their job is hauling not fighting.It costs Money to stay at a higher WS. They also have no COs. Again all space is needed for cargo that pays. If you have an Orion doppleganger in the mix...he can use COs and is at what ever WS the combat fleet is at.</div><div><br></div><div>The hope is this will be a very fast set up followed by fast play. 2 Day Max on assigning ships and building them. then a week to play the scenarios out. If this sounds like something people want to play....great! I will run it with just a couple players if need be. If we run with 5 players or less I am also thinking about have an Orion Pirate Fleet show up at times. Various BPV Never a lot. Whose purpose is to kill survivors and loot and scavenge. They will always have at least one combat ship and probably a cargo hauler to carry the loot. The chance of this happening is low, a 2 on 2 D6 Or possibly a 2/12 Still thinking about it. Pirate captains will be from the standby players. Again who ever responds first. Ships will never show up until around turn 4+-.</div><div><br></div><div>If this sounds like something people want. I will give it a shot. Obviously this game revolves around the honor system. Anyone can break these rules because they cannot be enforced if people want to cheat. I am thinking they wont. </div><div><br></div><div>I will just be moderating. I will probably be the Orion from time to time. I also will be available if no one else is to run a battle fleet for someone. My main objective here though is to actually run a game and be sure I have how down pat.</div><div><br></div><div>Should we need more time. We can extend it. But the time aspect is a guideline, not a rule set in stone. But I want fast turns from players who want to play so stay on top of this people. If you have a vacation scheduled...do not enter this.</div><div><br></div><div>The following races are available. </div><div><br></div><div>Federation Klingon</div><div>Kzinti Romulan</div><div>Gorn Lyran</div><div><br></div><div>This is shown like this because one side fights the other side with one border for each of the opposing 3 races. should a random border be generated though. It can be any race even your sides. For what ever reason they ticked you off.</div><div><br></div><div>I have discussed this with some people who said they would be interested. So...let me know your preference for race. And we will go on a first come first serve basis. Hope this is different enough to be fun lol. But remember it is short...and should be fast...and is really...just a test of your emergency moderator. Mistakes made while you wait.</div><div><br></div><div>Chuck Moderator of the game from Hell.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
