Re: China to launch space station in 2011

The Chinese make very long term plans. What worries me is not that they may be building a peaceful space construction facility, but that they may be building a military station. The Chinese space program is primarily military. Any launch vehicle capable of orbit is capable of being a world-wide war...

Fleet Morale in Multi-Empire Fleets

How are the various break-off rolls handled in a multi-empire fleet? I can see three options: 1) Fleet HS is the total of forces fighting on one side, with averages of RM and RD (perhaps proportional to HS contributed). 2) Fleet HS is the total of forces fighting, but each component uses their own R...

Re: Some system generation questions.

Actually the main question with G type creating asteroid belts was how many planets this affects. I think this quote from Elminster best describes the confusion: Yeah, the wording "..., roll 1d100 for each planet in the orbit just inside a gas giant." seems to count every planet inside. O...

Re: Anyone here any good with blender?

I've been working on Blender for a bit now, and I've gotten reasonably decent at it (sorry no links -quite- yet). I've looked at some of your stuff Club, and I think the issue is that you mold the hull out of one single object. For computer games and high end work it's definitely better. For our mor...

Re: Anyone have a copy of 3rd ed rules?

I'd SO very much like to get a copy of all the older books, 3rd edition especially... please, I'd love to be a part of this. I just wish I understood why Marvin Lamb seems so determined to keep this version of the game away from us. My understanding is that while Marvin has the rights to 3R (the pu...

Re: Planetary Bombardment

As I see it, there are essentially three paths towards getting income out of populations (in any single manner): - Invade the planet, Loot it, and then genocide - Invade, conquer, and absorb - Genocide and recolonize Of the three, the third is the simplest to cost. Orbital bombardment is for most em...

Re: Couple of new guy questions

The weapons that are listed as "Capital" and "Heavy", can they be put on any any ship as long as you have researched them? Other than small craft that is. Or is there a particular type of ship that is considered capital and heavy?. The traditional, historic reason for those name...

Re: deWulf Corporate Democracy Turn 95

I kinda don't get the idea of 2 SqM on a ship with only 1 bay. Aren't they limited to working only on squadrons in bays on the ship? Nothing's explicitly said either way. I assume that they're able to load the gunboats in just for repair (instead of having a multipurpose reloading/repair bay that a...
