OT: Space Wars

[NullAshton]

I'm planning on using the Alternity Warships rules, which are free I might add, and arranging weekly battles. You would create a fleet of ships, with tech, money, and crew limits using those rules, and then duel it out in a random space sector. The limits I haven't decided on yet, but as for tech limits, I'm looking at a tech level 7. This would be organized on IRC, you need to be able to go the the #spaceempires channel on Freenode to play in this. I'm probably going to host this on openrpg as well, so you probably need to download that, and install it on your computer if you wish to watch or enter. If you want to join, or have any comments or anything about it, please post here.

I've decided on the money limit being 500M, and the tech limit being 6. There is no crew limit for the first Space Wars.

Heh, I had the same plan a while back. I abandoned it because I thought it would be too hard to GM. Good luck, I may join you..

Happen to know of any openrpg stuff that helps with Warships?

6? I thought you had decided on 7?

The rules file (which was freely distributed by Wizards until they canned Alternity) that this will be based on can be acquired here:

Ack, sorry, meant to place 7. Must have hit the wrong button. I'm planning on starting it this saturday, so... There might be a way to adapt the rules to squares, or I might can turn openRPG and use hexes.

So does anyone want to join and/or help?

Found a hexagonal mode on OpenRPG, yay! Can't play by myself, need more people... Sorry for posting again and again, but people won't post here.
