Since I'll probably lose the credits before I can do any good with them, I'd like to make the contribution as soon as possible. Tomorrow morning, I'll be able to contribute 500K, and everyone else would only have to contribute 125K. Does this sound good? If so, I'll email CheesEv when I have the credits.
I'm counting on:
500K - me
125K - Patrick, Avatara (Trojen), Jager, Sargatanus
Yea or Nay?

I just made the top of the credit list, and tomorrow I'm going to have more than 600Kcr - that's a *bad* thing, even if you don't consider that I'm going to end up only 2 jumps away from Narsil.

Sounds good Lets get the Tralf system up in the North first.You sure Jager is with us? I think he might have signed up with the EV B&B guys. If you don't know I'll contribute his 125k as well.
about new ships:
Quote
All planets will generate some income for either your new gov or for the existing gov that annexes them. If you start your own little gov with your new planet, you can make some nifty new ships. The first one's free and the following ones (this applies to all govs, including existing ones) will cost some semi-large amount from the gov treasury like 500,000.

Class: Gunship
Speed: 380 AU/h
Def. Shield: 30u
Charge: 0.5u/sec
Armor: 60u
Guns: 4 max
Turrets: 3 max
Space: 30 tons [Modified from 20T]
Cargo: 20 tons
Fuel: 500 (5)
Length: 20m
Mass: 110 tons
Crew: 8
Cost: 1,200,000 cr
Accel: 320
Turn: 120°/sec
Weapons:
-2 Neutron Cannons
-2 Laser Turrets
Designed for short-range fighting. Neutrons (Magnetos) against larger ships, Laser Turrets against smaller - just like its Ares counterpart. After getting more money, I'd buy the Carrier/Fighter at the same time, and then the HVD. Other ships aren't all that essential to the fleet.
[edit]Actually, I shouldn't have the 600K in the morning - colony ships are sent manually, so if I got it in the morning, I'd be a sitting duck all day. I'll probably do it around 6, so my vulnerability is more limited.

And just a suggestion, give our gunship at least 30 for weapon space.

Now that Patrick is on the Most Wealth spot, we might want to accelerate the Colony Ship to today - 300K from me, 400K from Patrick, 100K each from Sarg, Avatara, and Jager.
Now awaiting confirmation from Patrick, Avatara, and Jager.

Oh, and I think the Ishiman ships have more of a classic Ares feel than the human ones.

Tomorrow Night (~6pm EST?)
+ 500K, from me
? 100K, from Patrick - is that too much right now?
+ 100K, from Avatara
+ 100K, from Sargatanus
+ 100K, from Jager (since he did say he'd be willing to help out)
? 100K, from Mag, since CheesEv will also be activating accounts around that time.

Think I should *just* be able to afford it. However it will entail running missions to Narsil...( ) hopefully no pirates will be hanging around! I'll make my move for cash at about 3:15 PM.

I just signed up as an independent. I wonder if our little government will be added to the list you can sign up for on the registration page. Speaking of which, did we get the colony ship yet? If not, I'd be happy to contribute 100k, as I believe you start with 300k so I can spare some .

I suggest moving our strategic planning to #ares. This webboard isn't secure enough. I'll be at #ares all night, see some of you there!

As much as I am a fan of multiplayer games, a few players have taken extreme advantage of this and therefore it is unlikely that the game can be fun for others.. So .... the game just started a week ago and we are making a lot of new updates but both me and CheesEv have started school so we are fairly busy..... but hang on.. hopefully soon the game will be a little more safer and we will also encounter less bugs and therefore have more time to implement new stuff.. like colonization =)
