Thank you friends, I hope you'll enjoy!
If you browse with an older version of explorer you may encounter problems with the bottom news ticker..

ps: for the officer page, I made the same things for the starship one's

There is a Google Sketchup component portfolio in another thread around here if you wanted to go another level and do some models of your ships. On the iPod here so can't easily copy/paste it in.

Absolutely, it seems that this LLandrindod are really advanced, in facts their ship speed and warships hull are definitely bigger than mine..

Just a couple of questions..

A) for the fighter.. I try to make one but the size really hamper me, adding weapons and power plants I reach circa 450 tons, when I try to stay under 300.. is this normal or I'm missing other fighter special equipment?

B) The "boat bay" description tells that it allows a fighter or gunboat bigger than 350 tons to dock with a mothership but.. I've to add it to the mothership or the fighter?

C) Last bu tnot least, Fire controls... if I mind correctly there is the "Missile Fire Control" that is used with missile launchers and torpedo launchers, while the "Beam FIre Control" is used for all other weapons right?

Thank you friends

I'd like to offer my assistance in crossing the language barrier (Proofreading and minor corrections), as well as helping out with some of the fiction where I can, I might also be able to suggest some alternative strategies here and there, which could result in news posts like 'High comand still debating appropriate course of action. "We just can't decide whether to paint the things red or blue, it may seem trival but this could be vital to the morale of our fleets!" - A navy spokesperson.' (Well, somewhat more serious than that, but having another person around making suggestions can improve the sense that behind the story is a whole empire, and not just 7 billion people thinking as a single person.)

I'm back! after a two weeks holiday with my sweetie, I'll return tomorrow at work and "retake control" of my work laptotp where I've stored my game, I think about restart a new game with conventional start, with a more paced game and with less "fictional cheats". I didn't like the idea of having in 2040 carriers and so on.. and using the new 5.20

@Aldaris: your idea is really awesome... and I'm really happy about your proposal! I'd like to share my game with you! As I just said, I'm thinking about a new campaign, starting with conventional in 2025 with 7 billion population, like nothing particular happened since 2025 (the discovery of Trans Newtonian minerals..) so I'm thinking to rewrite the background story. Any ideas?

Obviously, I'm opened to any help from others players who wish to collaborate.. (I'm sure waresky is another one...  :D

Well, brainstorming works better if it's a back-and-forth, and that works better in IM.
Do you have MSN? Xfire? Gtalk?
