Nodewars: Galactic Attack!
Right, time for a bit of fun.

I'm sure you've all heard of Nodewars, some of you might even have participated.  However, I imagine the complexity turned some of you off.

Thus, I unveil Nodewars: Galactic Attack!, the latest and not entirely sober installment.

Rules:
1) What I say goes
2) Blow **** up
3) There is no three
3-B) Blow more **** up
4) Try to not take out the universe
5) All non-Freespace ships you're using must have some sort of model, render, doodle or good description.  Other than that, feel free to steal **** from the mods floating around, assuming you get permission.  :drevil:
6) Have a blast.... :devil:

This takes place in the Freespace universe, FYI, so you should all know what the nodemap looks like.  Feel free to make or break alliances, factions, blah blah, there are no rules.

Oh, and rule 7) Just be sure to note where you are, who you are and who your friends are.  I'll give it a day or two to let people get their **** together then start The Real Thread™ (of doom).  Whee!

Anything I forgot?

Adendum:  You can have a ship as your base instead of a planet/area.  Just in case anyone wants to make a 50 km long ship named the Echelon....
WE ARE HARD LIGHT PRODUCTIONS. YOU WILL LOWER YOUR FIREWALLS AND SURRENDER YOUR KEYBOARDS. WE WILL ADD YOUR INTELLECTUAL AND VERNACULAR DISTINCTIVENESS TO OUR OWN. YOUR FORUMS WILL ADAPT TO SERVICE US. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

Nodewars: Galactic Attack!
On the request of Shrike...I'm bringing back an old beast. From the Terran Imperium thread stories that died so long ago..


GTVA Eschelon
Class: City Ship
Length: 50km
Width: 20km

Weapons:
4x Anti-Matter Cannons
300x Anti-Cap Beams
450x AAA Beams
350x Flak Cannons
250x Missile Batteries

Crew:
200 Operational
600 Engineering
600,000 Civilian

Fighters:
250 Fighter/Bomber Wings
6 Capship maintenance/construction bays

Facilities:
Various construction, production, repair, and civilian facilities

Description:

The Echelon is back. A tremendous city ship develoed over decades, it was built as a mobile center to the GTVA, a beacon of power and center of might. However, it fell into the hands of renegade GTVI Admiral Trellor and has become the center of the Terran Imperium. The ship carries tremendous firepower and an entire city covering the upper half. The lower half is full of factories and construction centers for fighters, basic commodities and even cap ships. The craft relies on materials from nearby planets but carries an internal stockpile.

The forward Anti-matter cannons are used to destroy massive warships of the juggernaught class causing tremendous damage. The Echelon is a true beast, requiring 48 hours to charge it's massive subspace drives. However, it rarely moves from it's stationary position surrounded by a large TI fleet.

If the ultraviolets are off-limits, I'd say... red. Bright red. Why not.

Well, I think this is a somewhat different version then the old NW. But I'm not 100% sure. Only Shrike knows :p

Can you bring your big superweapon and blow up everything in the universe except leave one isolated dust particle undisturbed? (so you would not be blowing up truly everything :D)

Polaris General Assembly

The PGA are a govornment structure residing outside the durastiction of the GTVA.  Based in Polaris, they lay total claim to the system and police it highly effectively.  Diplomatic ties with the GTVA are cordial.

PGAGS Havok
Class: Gravity Destroyer
Length: 2.75km



Weapons:
1 IGP
4x Assault Antiplasma Accelerators
6x Antiplasma Accelrators
6x Charge Beam Cannons

Crew:
2034

Fighters:
6

Facilities:
C&C operations, nanotech centers, Gravity Shield

Description:

A one-off design with an enourmously strengthened hull, the Havok took over seventy years to build.  Mounting standard capital vessel protection screens, it also has the significant addition of the Gravity Shield device, a mass projection system capable of refracting any energy beam within an umbrella radius of five hundred kilometers, as well as numerous other applications.

A secondary application of this field was developed during the dark days after the second shivan invasion - the IGP, or Inverse Gravity Projector.  Essentially a short-lived mass that can be projected from the vessel and acts like a proverbial "neutronium slug", crushing matter to extreme densities and releasing huge amounts of energy upon impact.  This weapon requires the deactivation of the gravity shield system which utilises the same hardware on board the ship.

Other noteable designs:

Vengeance/Entropy Class Command Destroyer

Designed as a spinoff from the Havok project, these vessels have extremely heavy armour and shields, while mounting respectable weapons arrays coupled with great agility and speed.

Parallax Class Command Carrier


Twice as large as the Polaris Dreadnoughts, a PGA command carrier forms the core of a battlegroup.  Mounting exceptional antifighter screens as well as very heavy anti-capital ship weapons, the Parallax is an amazingly versatile deep-space platform.

Polaris Class Dreadnought



Big, tough and hugely expensive, these heavy warships are the backbone of the PGA fleets.

Ascension class Battleship


A pulse cannon nightmare, the Ascension is capable of running rings around enemy battlegroups while delivering massive long-range broadsides.

Uriel Class Battlecruiser

A capital-ship class dive-bomber, the Uriel accelerates to insane velocities while the focused antimatter beam assembly annihalates large targets.

Thunderbolt-X Class Advanced Cruiser

Overpowered, these fast and viciously armed warships can go toe to toe with any comparable mass vessel - the disadvantage being they exhaust their antimatter fuel supplies in record speed.

Tharsis class escort carrier


Lightly armed, but with a hyperconductive hull, these vessels are capable of whithstanding extreme punishment from energy weapons while delivering their 4 squadrons of fighters to the battlefield with impunity.

Scorpio-G Class AWACS

A heavily armed and armoured AWACS vessel, the Scorpio-G's gravitic arrays are excellent at spotting ships massing frigate class and upwards.

Rampart Class Corvette

Primarily used as a support vessel, these corvettes provide point support for larger PGA ships.

Shadow-S Class Artillery

Mounting impressive point defenses against torpedo weapons, the Shadow-S also mounts intra-system capable torpedo and missile magazines.

Nereid Class Frigate


A heavy beam cannon coupled with a blast accelerator present a threat to larger vessels in numbers, along with tough anti fighter screens.

Onyx Class Advanced Interceptor

In limited supply, the Onyx mounts dual plasma accelerators capable of a withering hail of fire, along with a small animatter projector making it a threat to larger vessels, as well as poorly shielded fighters.

Lance Class Interceptor


An exceptionally fast and maneouverable design mounting a single fast-firing Plasma Accelerator mounted spinally, this interceptor is next to impossible to hit and can withstand a good deal of punishment.

for the rest look at the old PGA oob at the board

adds up to aboot 450 ships

In theory, yes, but the dust mote you missed just happened to be the one that contained everything important.

Why is it that when I suggest making NW entirely about common sense people always have to start sticking formulae and complicated rules in and spoiling it (curses the formative weeks of NW2 and 3), but when Shrike suggests it every does as they're told.

I'm beginning to think you people don't respect me.



And on a more On-Topic note: Wooooot! NW1!
