Multiplayer RP Scenerio (long)

[Phoenix-D]

"Phoenix D, the Starfire timeline did use point defense but to match the values, why dont you double up the hull space used by the pd module"

The point was doing this WITHOUT a mod If I do this scenerio with a mod, it'll take longer. Actually, some elements of my current techmod are similar to Starfire- I borrowed the standard missiles, for example. At the current rate it'll take a LONG time to finish though. Techs are in, vehicles are in, I've started on components.. finished missiles, but multi-layered components really, really suck.

I picked up 3 of the 4 books this weekend.

I will start reading them when I am finished stalingrad

Just an FYI, if you're expecting anything other than a shoot em up from In Death Ground.. don't Insurrection is slightly better, but IMO they aren't Weber's best work. Still makes a nice setting for this though. Especially since the setting already uses warp points, no workarounds needed.

which books by weber do you recommend.

[Growltigga]

Tesco, I personally think Weber's 'Honor Harrington' novels are spiffo - damn fine reads each and every one.

Another couple of books I think are pseudo SEIV in outlook are Niven's 'Motie' books - I think the first was called the Mote in Gods Eye and the second was called the Moat around Murcheson's Eye - really good the pair of them

Oh right, please accept my profuse apologies. I have spent ages going through my copy of SEIV and changing the names of all the techs to Starfire/BB5 equivalents, for example, APB's are lasers, PPB's are energy beams etc not quite starfire was gives the game the same feel.

I think the SEIV point defence cannon works and gives a starfire-esque feel with regard to both effectiveness and response

I'm in... I'm also new. The bird like race is the Orphrichi(spelling). I've read all three of the series. Started with Crusade-Insurrection-In Death Ground-currently reading Shiva Option(part II to In Death Ground). That series of books it what motivated me to purchase SE IV. I will be the Orions(Tabbies) If they are not taken, if so the TFN Corporate worlds fleets. I'm also willing to help out in research or the design process. A friend of mine and I were considering making an StarFire Universe Mod after we became more familiar with game but I ready to go now.

Growl: IMO the SE4 PD cannons are just too effective, especially en-mass. You can't get a good fighter strike though them with the way the fighter AI works. It doesn't help that they can down a single missile per shot, are smaller than the missiles, and fire faster. I *may* do a small mod for a few things here and there, but nothing massively extensive. It'd mean I would have to run the turns manually on my computer. Not a huge hassle, but it would slow the game down a bit.

BGH: You've got the Tabbies then.

Races available:
Terran (core): available
Terran (fringe/rebels): TerranC
Orion: Big Game Hunter
Birds: available
Gorm: Tesco
Bugs: me OR suicide junkie

The "rim" has been combined into the main body player wise. It didn't go that way in the books, but it means one less player needed.

FYI players I have finals coming up, so if we haven't started before the begining of April we won't until the middle of May. I'm going to start the scenerio building as soon as the new Gold patch comes out (20000 units..mmmmm)
