It's enough

I realized that the Kallum had shitloeads f planets tso more then that would not be reasnable

Because, after all, whatever decided to vaporize one planet, would also think to do it within Fleet territory, would it not?

Wow... You people are totally addicted to Deus Ex Machina.
"They have two million ships!"
"Don't worry, we've just built three million!"
"But there isn't enough rescources in a planet to build a hundred!"
"Shut up"
"Where did we get that much ore from?"
"Erm... Jesus?"

No offence but if this carries on I'll have to leave, you are all leeching all the fun out of it. It's too easy.

It's not just one person, it just seems like everyone is more concerned with intergalactic dick waving than creating an enjoyable, and believable, story.
Yes, pulling three million warships armed with guns that fire galaxies out of thin air in an effort to one-up the last posters two million ships armed with mass-drivers IS entertainsing if you are a writer, but as a reader?

See, part two was cool: The remains of empires from accross galaxy trapped on one planet having been stomped all over by an overwhelming force so large it ate galaxies for breakfast, their only chance? A daring assassination attempt that would cause the empire to collapse into disarray and infighting as everyone made a grab for the Emperor's throne. No longer a unified force the empire would then surely face the wrath of a thousand races grieving for a billion lost loved ones.
That had drama. That had tension. That was RP!

But this? In the two years since the end of the war everyone has rebuilt their homeworlds (most of which were decimated as they had been gigantic battlegrounds) and re built their colonies, thus establishing an interstellar infrastructure capable of supporting these empires AND the construction of MILLIONS of warships AND have enough babies to man these ships (which seem to need millions of people each)?
Does that sound like a galaxy that was on the brink of extintion just two years ago?

I tell you, Europe could have done with some help from these guys builders after world war two!

And what the smeg happened to the cloaking device? Why did that escape plan suddenly become a hyperdrive jump in an atmosphere? Not only do I not have a clue what's happening any more I don't think any of you do either!

And why exactly does the planet killer need a fleet of 2000000 to protect it? In fact, if you can make 2000000 ships why make a planet killer at all? I'm pretty sure 2000000 ships could easily deal with a planet.

Sorry but apart from the Logan's Son thing this RP is about as dramatic, tense and predictable as a wrestling match...

...

I think we should start again while we still can.
I don't mean to be an arsehole, but I think I made some good points.

In retrospect, the last few posts _do_ sound a bit ridiculous. Maybe it's the extra energy liberated from the destruction of the old RP forum. Or the lack of creativity generated by such.

We still have time for a rollback if we want. Post 24 or 25 would be a good point to go back to. Removing the planet killer and the ludicrous amount of ships might do the trick.

Of course, if the damage is indeed irreparable, we can always hire the demolition team.

You agree! Thank heavens! I was worried that you'd all fall out with me
A rollback sound's good to me. And I promise not to steal any more ideas from star trek
Planet Killer... how the smeg could that have sounded like a good idea?
Anyway:

A VOTE!

Option 1) Roll back to post 24/25 in the current S:TS
Option 2) Roll Back to just after the assasination of the Emperor in the previous (and theoretical) S:TS

Whichever way you vote that Galactic Map will still be useful.

that whole Kyrozch invasion and planet killing is pretty lame, and i dont think they would waste all those prescois rescourses by destroying a planet.

"I never recall saying that the Kallum simply evaporated into thin air. Undoubtedly, there are still packets of resistance loyal to the Emperor (and by packets, I'm talking about thousands of planets and some million starships EACH). Owing to simple distances, though, and the distribution of the Unified Fleet, the resistance cells are mostly under control.

This is what you get when you start talking on a galactic scale tongue"

This is from Bloodmoon so maybe the only problem is that the rate of building is waaay too fast and mobilazation is too fast.

Sorry for tripple post (0_o) too lazy to edit into one post

thats option two

for my thing to work we'll need to trim down our numbers if we want it to be credable tho.

I say we move back to post 24, that would be much easier.
As for communication we could use IRC, create a roleplay channel on the IC server.

I have done a rough sketch of Blacken and Kallum controlled space, but is on my computer at home, which i cant get to just yet.

The Kallum DO have faster than light travel but it is by far less effective then regular hyper space, meaning they take approx three times as long as UEF ships to jump.

The Kallum also have a sizable chunk of galaxy they control, with there home system gone they had to entirely recreate they leadership. Kallum in-fighting isnt a series threat, most generals do work together, and they dont need no emperor to tell them what to attack.
