Empires in the Stars

@Cashdash25 What if I replace the Human's with a different race but instead of having them stop fighting the Drao win and are eventually going to eat them into extinction? And so the reason that they are going to space is to find another food source?


Also, I'll take any colour that hasnt already been taken since I cant think of one that hasnt been taken already, and I'll think up some new cons.

Even when the thread's up, is it still too late to post up new applications? Please I hope not...

I would be very hesitate to allow someone to join after the game had started, they would be at a severe disadvantage in research level and handicapped by other player's expansion, as well as presenting a sudden new obstacle that can't realistically do much more than slow down any players they happen to get in the way of, and with the deadline I set for late comers past I feel it's only fair to cap the player count where it is. Additionally with Bilbo and Tim's nations being added the map is getting quite crowded. I'm afraid I am forced to call the game closed to new applicants.

That could work.


I'll assign you the color black.

S.C.G.C.;
A few specific issues to start;


-Silver is difficult to differentiate from grey with a digital edited program, I would ask that it be changed to a more visually striking color.


-Your Government system is completely unsustainable and would end in a Junta within two hundred years. If there's a clearly established way for a faction to take power then they will eventually take it. I would suggest a larger congressional republic system or a true democracy.


-An oceanic navy would be literally useless unless you were building floating cities. They would be the first targets for any fleet establishing orbit overhead.


-Moon sized starships, to use the example of the Zantans who are the only other faction with ships of this size, it took them centuries to build ships of this size, with a goal that could only be achieved by ships of this size: Crossing the Galactic Void as an act of desperation. No faction would ever consider building vessels like this as a matter of course, much less a mere 12-14 of them. You would need literal fleets worth of them, at which point the resource cost would simply be too staggering to be effective.


-Your pros aren't really pros, they're just what every faction does really. A lot of your sheet reads like this actually, it just feels like you're trying to make things that aren't actually different look different.


-You con is an interesting one, but too limited, restricting it to a small number of worlds makes it predictable, any intelligent government would merely station a detachment of troops on the problem worlds and that'd be the end of it. I'd suggest expanding it to a more general increase in the likelihood of uprisings and rebellions.


On a more broad analysis, your sheet feels very low effort and generic, doing little to separate itself from any other, and basically copy/pasting Humans and Human history onto another world. I feel that at its core their is a workable idea for a near-human, Imperiumesque race, but in its current form it just looks and feels bland and, almost Mary Sueish at times.

For colour, would it be possible to do magenta?


I do apologize I was in a rush to get it done and I planned on getting in the details when I had time. For government(I forgot to add it), it's a democracy but at the same time there is a galactic congress in which all systems are represented and they are elected officials. The galactic congress is like the galactic senate of the republic and it's fairly large as it represents all systems including the armed forces.


For the moon size vessels would it be fine if I just said that the fifth one which is currently nearing completion is the last one in the class of vessels?


I'll get started on the other edits.

I'm not going to do be able to do this by tonight, I'll have it done tomorrow.

@tims run


You have both had roughly two days worth of time since I advised you on how to fix the issues in your sheets. Neither of you have made any meaningful edits in that time. The start date of this game has been pushed back three days to accommodate you two, in fairness to the rest of my player's I'm afraid that the game will have to start without you.


Everyone else: Game thread here: Closed - Empires in the Stars I need your turns by Saturday morning if at all possible.
