Well, I don't actually build 1000's of ships. That's just unworkable given the structure of my nation. As we are working on things like temporal tehcnology that cf and the like don't use, I follow a different path. I put all my technology into making [i]smaller[/i] ships that fill the role of much larger "wangsized" ships of other nations.
Yes, that's probably rather wanky. But it's against the general line of superpowerful ships that assume larger is best, and I want to break the mould above all else. Secondly, My nation as a whole is small in every aspect. My ground forces aren't very large in size either, and that's because they are incredibly powerful and I only have 3 systems that I actually defend, and only 2-3 planets on each. After 3 tg's that have said I stole the idea of CF and Kanuckistan for small, highly trained professional navies with a focus on really powerful weapons above all else, I swore I would never be called a copycat again. Thus, efficiency.
We don't make mechs to prove "we can". We make tanks that blow your ground forces away. Why bother with a bolo, when our navies, who get that funding that might go into one and our ground troops, have already wiped you out and did it cheaper to boot? Sure, big powerful uberweapons are nice and scary and yes, fantastic for what they do, but Xenonier fights as an army, not as individual uber units bulking out a whole.
All above here is stuff not related as much to the thread. We can take this to another thread or msn or whatever if we need too.
Now, onto notes and whatnot. Given this is the entire 7th fleet going into this diplomatic mission, I'm probably just going to send a gunship or something to the actual meeting. For the purposes of the rp, we are going to be sitting back and being the smartasses. Xenonier is highly cynical, so expect a small amount of verbal jousting before the burnination. I don't plan on my diplomat dying either, he being a recurring character and all so I've done the usual Xenonian approach.
I've done some investigations of my own, some more practical ones, paritcularly an good ole fashioned character profile of them. As CF/anyone who read my application would know, Tyraelia slapped me across the head icly and oocly and taught me to be very paranoid.
Although I really wrote this post up to discuss something more important. Now, lets face facts, I probably won't get hit by the consortium and their piracy. Given only ESUS, TFU (yes, TFU) and Krioval+Gaian Ascendancy have maps of my region in my little ioslated galaxy, I can't forsee a small pirate fleet like the Consortium having the resources to map out my entire region and hit my ships. It's just not worth their time, assuming they plan to roleplay this with an element of believeability.
Final question. Balrogga, the data you are collating on the owners of the ship. That stays with you or what? I can't blame you if you don't plan on spreading with the ESUS factions, given some of the troubles you have.
* I just realised Neuralink = Neurolink. I seems all my ideas look like copies of everyone elses. if you'd like, I can change the name for the simple sake of less confusion.
