Nodewars, the HLP hosted Story Debate is looking for more players.
Plenty of unexplored galaxy, and the Shivans are coming...
Don't mind everyone and his dog trying to do a cliche'd plot, if you want a good original wargame plus how everyone's best laid plans fall apart from the Shivans, check it out! ;)
Points to the Nodewars forum here

Don't you mean "Thou shalt use URLs, for great justice." (Steak 4:2)
:D:D
The problem with Node Wars is that unless you have tons of time to spend online every day, it's hard to keep up with it. Unfortunately, there's too much going on in Real Life for a lot of us...:( When I lose my life, then I'll join ;)
-
Just start going "NI!" to everyone.
The great thing about NW is its extremely flexible, and loadsa fun when you get into it.
You dont have to spend ages doing it, maybe about 30-60 mins a day i suppose if you want to play properly.
But theres loads of room for small factions who only appear occasionally etc.
On the movie trailer...Just send me concept pics and whatever and then, after thats done and the major plot arc is finished, we pick the best bits out and make a movie out of it :)

Yeah, but what do you thing the Neo-Terran Union would do if I said "You must now bring us a shubbery or else you will cut down the greatest tree in the forest with a herring!"
???
;););)
-
I think they'd say:
"the meson cannon on the Union says 'no.'"
-
Didn't Drevi carpet-bomb every shrubbery from high-orbit?
-
Nah, "Don't you see what happened in Morpheus? Drevi is the least of our worries..."
Honestly, NW is being streamlined so it should just take maybe two posts a day. (when you get your co-fee and E-Mail)
-
Pah. ANti-powergaming rules suck. And your forum ate my OOB about the spaceborne Rastafarian colony from another galaxy! I spent half an hour on that thing!:mad:
-
Well if people had common sense and didn't make "Ubar Meson Beam Deathstars!!!!" and pumped out 100 of them a day, there wouldn't have to be any rules at all :p
-
But everyone likes a nice apocalyptic BOE with a million death-stars and a couple of 3 light-year wide ship covered in Meson launchers. What's the point otherwise?
:D
-
If NW will still be going on after May 14, I will probably join in, as the concept is an awesome one. ;)
-
NW will be around for years upon years.

Who's talking death stars? You wouldn't let me have mining drill warheads on rockets!:lol:

[n00bmode]No! Nobody here would sink so low as to powergame at that level would they?[/n00bmode]

I got paper armor straight from the SF Basilisk; Þ|-|€4/2 |\/|£ !! ;7

When we started talking about powergaming and how some people like to build millions of MesonDeathRayKillerLaserThings™ and kill each other with them. :D:D:D
-
Zeronet: It wasn't that I was using plasteel- that was, according to the OOB, essentially what most armor IS. It was that I put two or three layers of armor on- and wearing 2 flak jackets is gonna stop more than one.
-
Alright, layered armor is "Heavy Armor" under ship mods.
Your drill missiles would be an L1-4 Missile with "Armor Bonus" to show that they drill through the hull.
That simple.
Damn it Jim, it's a recruiting thread not a balance one!
-
Not exactly, for reasons explained in the deleted posts. Drill missiles don't explode, they just penetrate the hull and let all the air out- much nastier, but useless against shields.
Heavy armor was one layer of armor. I had 3 heavy armors, and a carrier with 8-yard thick hullplates.:D

Jim continues to glance at the female cast

A new ship just exited warp! It's the Steak!

is enough...
This thread is rapidly descending into SPAM (although fun-SPAM) which we cannot use.
Question about NW can be made here or in the NW forum.
Enjoy

I was going to join NodeWars, and I had a nice little republic dreamed up, but I don't understand the rules. and I don't really have enough time anyways.
Oh well :(
-
Time? If you start in the U systems you dont have to catch up on anything :). Rules are easy to understand if you read em through.

"Getting" annoying implies a state of non-annoyingness prior to said remark... :ha:

Then the weapon has a shield penalty and radiative bonus added onto the armor bonus. That describes a weapon that doesn't penetrate shields, drills into the hull which causes damage, and harms the crew. (lack of air)
L1-4+Armor Bonus*Protracted+Radiative Bonus+Shield Penalty
Heavy armor was one layer of armor. I had 3 heavy armors, and a carrier with 8-yard thick hullplates.
Heavy armor stands for any type of armor layering you do on the ship. Heavy Armor*protracted is what you're talking about, and that's as heavy as it will go. (if you have a destroyer, it's Delta rated armor with Heavy Armor*protracted as the max you can go, period)

an0n's quick guide to NW roolz
- You can and will be beaten in battle at some point
- Nothing should ever go according to plan
- Weapon lvl's are a number+1lvl per bonus. IE a Lvl4 weapon with shield piercing becomes a Lvl5. Initial level is power and add-ons determine the tactical power. Lvl5's are super-weapons and Lvl6's are apocalyptic uber-weapons.
- Don't powergame
- For every National Advantage your nation has, there must be one disadvantage. You may have 1 'free' advantage
- Armour and shields are rated Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Omega or Omega plus. Alpha being the lowest and Omega being pretty much invincible and thus not used by players.
- You must make an Order Of Battle. Just quote someone elses and tailor it for your nation.
Hmmm. It's more of a guide than a set of rules.
