Consolidated Remnant of Humanity

[Erik L (OP)]

Remnant Campaign

In the waning days of the Terran Federation, a hostile race was encountered. This race of beings, known as only the Ravagers by humanity, quickly decimated and laid waste to the Federation?s fleets. A lone colony ship fled Earth, days before the Ravager fleet wiped the planet clean.
The colonists, in despair, fled as deep as they could manage with their fuel supplies. The system they settled on was named Alaucard. Settling in the sixth planet, they named the chilly planet Freehold and began to carve out a new existence.
Five hundred years later, the Consolidated Remnant of Humanity once again sets forth to take their place among the stars.

Campaign setup
The first generated system with a habitable planet was used. In this case, a quaternary system comprised of an A8-V main component, G7-V, K2-V and M0-V components. Alaucard-A VI, named Freehold has 750m humans. Alaucard-A III is a small outpost with 50m colonists and is the beginnings of their exploration. Both planets were given homeworld minerals.

Starting Tech
The Remnant has 180,000 points. This was spent on the following technologies: Terraforming Module, 5% Reduced Colony Cost, .002 Terraforming rate, Fuel Efficiency 3, Basic Jump technology (Theory, Efficiency 3, Distance 50, Size 3), Far UV Laser, 12cm Laser Focus, Cap Recharge 5, Composite Armor, Active Grav Detection Strength 12, Grav Pulse Detection Strength 6, EM Sensitivity 6, Thermal Sensitivity 6, Pebble Bed Reactors, Nuclear Pulse Drive, Missile Fire Control 400,000km, Missile Engine 32, Missile Fuel Cell Cap 3200, Missile Reload Rate 5.

Sounds like a good story start. Lots of potential story lines here.

I hope you realize that the C5 capaciters on your 12cm lasers is overkill.  It only takes 4 power to charge the laser for every 5 seconds.  By putting the larger capaciter on you are actually requiring more power without any extra result.  Your power plants will allocate 5 points of power each 5 seconds.  This would mean that for 4 lasers you are using 20 points of power, which should actually power 5 lasers.

Just thought you might not have realized that little quirck of the game.

I tend to build lasers to go as close to 5 sec ROF as I can. The only ships with lasers are the Outreach, which has 6, and the Iriquois which has 1.

I might have been in a hurry when making the weapons.

But, sadly, the database this game is on is suffering the endless loops of apply damage errors (from a previous game). So I'm not sure if it'll get off the ground. I may wait for the next version (hint hint Steve).

I do intend to get the new version out as soon as possible. I will concentrate on fixing bugs rather than working through the rest of suggestion list and then I will look at the remaining suggestions for v2.6. However, we now have friends staying until Jan 2nd (when I will be back at work) and my wife tends to glare at me when I ignore everyone and retreat to my office to start programming
