Bah, just when I post a simple, NW1-ish rule system on the admin forum ... ah well.

I'll be getting my OOB-ish thingy over soon....

[an0n]

Errr. Anyway, I'm in.

I'm a sucker for NW.

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

I respect you. Largely because you're only now saying what I said all along.

[an0n]

I've been saying it since that gap between the "We need to restart" barrage and the "Kam, I've locked all the threads" thread.

I just never bothered trying to force the issue. Too lazy, you see.

[Eishtmo]

Prepare for doom Unbelievers!  The Eishtmo is back and so is the Victorious and her sisters.  Of course, I'll play some games with the storyline so I can dig out all of the originally planned six of them, but life is funny like that.

Victorious Class Vessels:
NHJ Victorious
VMS Absolution
VMS Invincible
VMS Retribution
VMS Victorious II
VMS Resolution
Class:  Mother Ship
Length:  20 km
Width:  5 km
Height:  4 km

Weapons
1 High Energy Focus Cannon aka "Main Gun"
20 High Energy Beam Cannons aka "Secondary Weapons"
~50 Particle Cannons, Unknown Origin
20 "Slash" Type XI Beam Cannons aka "Beam Collar" (Victorious, Victorious II, Resolution)
15 Anti-Fighter Beams
32 Flak Cannons

Defenses
"Gas Hull" Anti Beam Weapon Shell
Single Shell Sheild System (Victorious, Victorious II, Invincible)
Cell Sheild System (Absolution, Retribution, Resolution)
Advanced Composite Armor, Unknown Origin

Crew
20,000 minimum ops
up to 100,000 for full ops

Fighters

Victorious, Victorious II, Invincible
300 Normal ops
1000 Special ops (extra fighters supported on special wires)

Absolution, Retribution
500 Normal ops
1700 Special ops

Resolution
375 Normal ops
1400 Special ops

Description:  Found, not built, the Victorious and her sister ships, known as the VCV's (Victorious Class Vessels) were refitted for combat by the Neo-Hammer of Light who later formed the core of the Vishnu Force.  Each VCV is armed with a Main Cannon which, when properly powered, has the strength to rip a planet to bits with the lone exception of the Absolution (Victorious underwent forced self-destruct in using the weapon in this way, other VCV's have no such problems).  VCV's are designed to move alone, with little or no escort, hiding within a system until it's heavy fire power is called in.  Withering firepower capable of vaporizing a Sathantas (wow, haven't had to write that word in forever) in a single shot is its main weapon.  They also act as secure military operations centers and the cores of huge, multi-fleet task forces.

No VCV has been lost to enemy action, and few expect one ever will.

Sorry I'm being brief, I've got things to do tonight.  Later, suckers!

[Zeronet]

I'll be the GTVA(like everyone seems to be at the start).

So people know, the Nodewar homepage is www.nodewar.com and the forum which goes with it is www.nodewar.com/forum

The Nodewar forum here is currently inactive and unused, so don't post there. Don't be alarmed at a few forums missing over at nodewar.com , we're reopening after a temporary shutdown.

I designed the site. **** this reminds me, i have been absent from nodewars for months now!!!!

[Shrike]

Yes, I'm stealing Rob's work.  I hope he doesn't mind, but he's never on ICQ any more.

GTVA Vanguard
http://www.3dap.com/hlp/contest/large/eldorado.jpg
Type:  Self-sufficient command vessel
Length:  10km
Crew:  23,000
Fighters:  600 wings
Weapons:  Light antiship and antifighter defenses only
Defenses:  Equal to the GTVA Colossus

The GTVA Vanguard is a new design of command vessel, designed to be fully self suffient and capable of supporting a combat fleet for in the field an indefinate period of time.  At 10km almost twice the length of the Colossus, it is significantly less massive, dispensing with the heavy antiship armament of the original supership in favor of support equipment.  The Vanguard project was started in 2374, with the keel lain in 2379, as the massively expensive Eschelon project was running over budget and behind schedule.  Taking advantage of experience gained in the construction of the Colossus, the Vanguard was officially declared operational in the Beta Aquila system after only six years of construction.

[Ace]

Can I play as Harvesters? (will grab renders soon)

[Shrike]

Begone before I smite you.

[Kamikaze]

Hmm... do you want to run NW: GA on the NW boards... or not? If you're not I'm just going to convert the NW boards into NW4.

[Shrike]

Here.

[J.F.K.]

Can I just be a pilot? I don't have enough time to think about and manage a whole organisation. I'm guessing by the rules that I can, since pilots blow stuff up.

[Shrike]

Go right ahead!  You can put as much or as little detail into this as you want.  As long as you've played Freespace 2, all the other background info you should need would be right here.

[J.F.K.]

Excellent... time to hop into my Pegasus (ignites engine and disappears from radar).

[Stryke 9]

My weapon is the plasma colonic. Who's first?
