"So let me get this straight...you want to gut the inside of a fighter, jam a Mark-40 torpedo tube down the middle, bolt a couple seats and a control console on top of the launch tube, convert both wings into torp magazines and convince some crazy pilot to fly it and me to approve production and testing of it as an experimental model?" "Yes, Sir. Although we are just asking for approval of funds. As soon as the test pilots heard about this joint project between Alta Mesa and Templar Command there have been so many volunteers to fly one of these that we have a waiting list. You know how test pilots are, Sir. The faster and explode-y-er it is the more they want to play with it.""Well, as long as it blows up in a Xenos face and not mine you can do a test production run."**Priority Transmission** Alta Mesa and Templar Command engineers have cooked up a new experimental fighter the Wasp-X. It's a fighter that has been retrofitted to carry hyperwarp torps...I know insane, but here it it:

Being on the War Council, I will personally take one of these as my own and join the fight. I am no stranger to combat, and since this was in part my idea, I would be a poor leader should I not be on the front with those whom I command. Plus it is just crazy enough to work for me  |

Great Templar, although I respect the bravado of my colleages, perhaps, could I request that a dreadnought be built under the Clan Moklumnue flag? A large capital ship cabable of incredible devastation on a planetary scale. Whatever the cost, we will pay it, for soon the upgraded orbital tradeways will generate enough funds to buy, well, everything really.
However, Clan Moklumnue has a certain standard to maintain at war time. When we say something dies, it should do so instantaneously. A massive mothership sounds, well, just like it fits that standard.
As my Cadarian ancestor once said, "If at first you don't succeed, you're not using enough torpedoes."

sheff sounds like you want a battle cruiser which will take more military research

Moklumnue would like to request our next world be in the prime zone. We would love to turn Afcrone into a booming money factory for the empire.
Also, we would be willing to settle Haley so that our Clan brothers can continue to take the fight to the enemy.

Cartography Has been completely updated with a number keyed map. All colonized and uncolonized systems have been assigned a number. Systems that are currently Infested by Xenos or Dead are not assigned a number. The corresponding numbers are in parenthesis next to the system name in the two system lists (colonized/uncolonized in the cartography thread) This effort took me about 3 hours. So I would like to see an uptick in participation...running this game takes a lot of my time. I'm not complaining, but I want it to be rewarding for the effort put in.

Templar Command Engineering Proudly Presents our new Assault Fighter the Nak Muay MIII named after ancient warriors who specialized in a martial art mixing grappling and brutal striking together (//ooc IRL muay thai is my other hobby / practically life. What is unique to it is a style of fighting combining standing wrestling (clinch) with knee and elbow strikes. This is my ship  //) This Beauty Combines damage and increased evasion, close in defense, and armor. Those Xenos won't know what hit them until our brave marines are tearing off their faces!  |

The Mok Clan can have Afcrone. It is far better suited for politicking than for war. Let them make their money, we will handle dying for the betterment of our situation. We will claim Unionized Quixann for our own. /OOC CdrPlatypus the work you are putting in is apparent, and unbelievably appreciated. I will redouble my efforts to post in the threads, and I encourage my comrades in arms to do the same Thanks again!!!!!! |

Just like Muay Thai fighters, this assault vessel can't hold much hope for the future. We'll have to fill them with our most bloodthirsty, callous killers. Perhaps if we offered our most dangerous criminals limited freedom in exchange for their services...
There might be credits in this idea, I'll get right on it.

Murderers,thieves and smugglers offered a chance at freedom for fighting long odds....there should be a movie about that:P |

Already entering the ideas into a copyright.
I'm going to make us very wealthy.
We'll call them marines. Marines on starships. Crafts in space. Starcraft Marines? Or maybe Starship Troopers?
Finally, a use for all those thulun POWs we have in cryostorage.

High Templar CdrPlatypus, I believe I speak for my fellow councillors of Clan Zenrin. I would claim Illgard Complex for my clan. Apologies for the lateness of our response, I'll try to get things moving quicker in the future. |

High Templar bangs mailed fist on the table Order! I say order! We are finishing realestate negotiations for now. I have a fancy paper for each of you. Clan Alta Mesa is given uncontested rights to Unionized Quixann, Clan Moklumnue is hearby granted uncontested rights to the Afrcorne System and Zenrin is granted uncontested rights to Illgrad Complex. MIII-Colony Ships have been ordered to each system. I have also approved the construction of a squadron of the new Wasp-EX fighters. Our ntsheep bulldozers have taken a severe beating after only 2 battles and are attempting emergency repairs in orbit of New Haven. I ask that you direct all of your colonies to continue retooling for war (//ooc anything that is not building a ship or a critical structure is upgrading or adding factories atm//) As soon as production capabilities are improved we need to build more bulldozers and carriers to continue our assault. Current research is focusing on clan specific tech. We've gotten Starforge 2's and Mok is researching long duration trade routes (stepping stone to orbital tradeways 2) Zenrin please do not feel left out. When your warbarge blueprints were recoveed we also found plans for lvl 3 hall of records Any input on the direction of the War effort is much appreciated. now...DAMNIT WHERE IS MY MOCHA! WE NEED SOME NEW INTERNS!!!

*snaps fingers*
After all this time, have none of you learned from us yet?
*Two well dressed men flanked by attractive young women bearing Spice Espresso appear*
One must always be prepared. Clan Moklumnue urges you to relax. We are doing well, but there is still much to do.
*The two men take the Clan Moklumnue paperwork and begin reading, and the young women begin adding chocolate froth to the High Templar's beverage*
Thank you for making paperwork so much more bearable and simple Gundamgoth. This endeavor would have been impossible without your work.
