It is the most decadent thing I have every bought, and I love it. I did a little research, and I believe it will be a perfect orbital installation for the Redlight Valley I have in construction. Researching animalia reproduction habits has... been an very enlightening experience. Needless to say, I see a niche that needs filling, if you catch my breeze.

We have already begun experimenting with new designs for focusing lenses. They were not lying when they said it would give an 11% increase to over all effectiveness. Work is underway in extracting enough of it to consider its use in small scale fusion cores.

I'm told the shareholders will not agree on the orbital jeweled ring for The Furnace until I can provide concrete proof it will be cost effective, sadly.

What will the Redlight Valley do,exactly?The idea of more efficient focusing lens could help increase the efficiency of our lasers.

I understand the common term for large areas dedicated to brothels is "Redlight" correct? Well, I decided to take the term to a literal meaning, and bathe the area in a constant crimson glow. This has the advantage of providing an easier form of light for us to absorb and photosynthesis, leading to a higher overall feeling of vigor for my employees.

>>53680501
I would be happy to exchange star charts with you. We've charted our local cluster fairly extensively with probes, although our youth has kept it to a fairly limited area on a galactic scale. Due to the imbalance, we'd also offer you free subscriptions to our astral observation streams. Real time holo footage from the seed probes left behind, so we can keep an eye on any of the interesting cosmic events in our back yards. Even waive the rift relay installation fees for you.

New channels every day, although most of them are pretty boring. Occasionally you find some cosmic wonder, but generally it's just rocks.

>>53680722
You sound a bit rusty. Do you need lubrication? If so, I have a wide variety, both wet and dry.

>>53680748
Oh.
I havent heard that term in a while.Well,okay.
So,any news with your people?

[Federation News Network broadcast incoming]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfaITehDRdA
Shocking reports from the isolationist Kingdom of Eortan have today emerged, courtesy of an un-named Federation source working within the refugee camps of the Lesser Kingdom of Ryush! Please be advised this footage may disturb sapients of an empathic disposition.
>Shakey-cam footage of thousands upon thousands of refugees in tent-cities, beneath a night sky, lit by flares and barrel-fires
Although the kingdom maintains that the refugees are merely victims of the meteor swarm that passed through the sector nearly a galactic month ago, this footage seems to indicate otherwise.
>Wounded Elasi are hurried by on stretchers, several clutching bleeding wounds or unconscious with hideous injuries
Our source reports that these injuries are indeed very recent and not caused by the destruction left in the wake of the meteorite swarm. Shortly before recording started, there were reports of gunfire and explosions within the refugee camp and Eortite security were rushed to the scene. Their continued presence however, sparked further altercations.
>An elephantine Zaydran male is seen, being interrogated by a half-dozen Elasi in light combat armour. The Zaydran appears emotionally distressed, holding up his hands placatingly, until one of the Elasi troopers smashes a electo-baton across the back of the larger alien's knees, driving it to the ground. The troopers then pounce, cuffing the victim and laying their hands on their sidearms as a crowd forms.

The camera jerks as the sapient filming it recoils and the crowd stampedes, trying to get away from the firefight. The feed cuts and returns to the studio.
As yet, the Kingdom of Eortan has given no comment on what appear to be the actions of armed insurrectionists amongst the refugees, or on the potential safety risk this poses to Federation aid workers in the region. We'll have more on this situation as it develops. This has been a Federation News Network breaking report.

Oh my.
This is most troubling.

>>53680769

Well, we were not prepared for the level of "contracts" we could find once we opened our communications with you all. I've ordered a massive increase in our Trunk fabrication facilities to make up for the steady outsourcing of our Roots. More and more collection swarms are going ferals as their directions are departing. Not too much of a concern, leaves and branches function well without oversights. Its the thorns shutting down I'm worried about. Without a Root to direct them, they're just lumps of metal in terms of usefulness.

>>53680791
>>53680853
Didn't say you were. There is no such thing as a simple machine, merely levels of understanding to the operator. It is good to see one of you court that seeks to gather, not destroy

We will be able to free up a larger amount of biomatter from our fuel conversation programs provided we can work out the kinks in the fusion generators.

Welcome back representative. I am sure you will be happy to know the Redlight Valley is under construction, and we look forward to your future patronage. In the mean time, we'd like to offer a cultural review for your archives, should you wish to get better acquainted with those you get intimate with come your future visits.

Desertion by new soldiers mostly.
Hopped up on propaganda thinking that they're all gonna be a superhero.
Then they see someone get killed and they start to run from the battlefield.
Most of them step on mines or get killed by a bullet.
The ones that somehow survive are executed for desertion of their cadre in battle.

>>53681129
Other then that it's going well.

>>53681188
That's a shame.Have you attempted rotating soldier positions?That worked in the Great War.

>>53681129

By all means, you are welcome here at all times. Although I will keep the valley tour to the more interesting places. Farmland, tectonics mining, and solar farms can get rather repetitive after a while, although if you'd like to tour them none the less, you are quite welcome to examine our mechanical fauna in the wild.

As for the FTL schematics, three of my best physicists had to be hospitalized after the resulting brawl between them. Didn't expect the little pink seedhead to have it in her, that's for sure. Still, a minor setback, and highly amusing to watch.

Definitely going into the company blooper reel for this year's summer retreat.

I simply ask because the Wastes has many rifts,and if there is one to your place,I could come visit.

>>53681240
It's where you rotate the soldiers from combat to the backlines.We did it in the trenches.Each individual soldier only saw around 5 to 29 days of combat in the entire 4 years of the war.Just have soldiers in the front,and reserves in the back.

>>53681237

Honoured representatives and ambassadors, I have just received a statement from my government about the shocking and unprovoked* attacks upon the refugee camps.

As you are already aware, the situation in the region is volatile, following the destruction caused by meteorite storm and it would appear that, despite the Second Fleet's best efforts to maintain order in the effected area, certain criminal groups are seeking to take advantage of the situation for as-yet unknown** reasons. I assure you, some of Eortan's finest troops are deployed to the Lesser Kingdom of Ryush*** and the lives of the kind Federation citizens providing aid for the refugees are in as little danger as can possibly be expected, given the circumstances.

I am however, obligated to express Her Divine Majesty's intense displeasure and disappointment that the stipulations of the right-of-passage agreement have been so casually disregarded. As I am sure you will recall, the agreement signed by all parties donating to the relief effort included clauses explicitly forbidding the recording or transmission of audio/visual data or reports not vetted by Eortan public security! The regrettable scenes of the attack on Eortan soldiers are a clear violation of such and we demand the right to investigate this incident and deliver such punishment as our laws deem necessary****.

>>53681407
I meant...antidepressants and antihallucigens.
It helps keep suicide rates down.

>>53681447
I'm good.
We onlu had six bombing runs from the enemy today so I think this part of the country will be taken soon.
>>53681454
Oh yeah that might work.
I tell ya some Ethereals...they ain't the smartest.

>>53681400
Clearly the criminal groups are operating amongst the refugees, using them for cover of their activities and sapient shields against any response. While the situation is still ongoing and delicate, you have my full assurances that it will be dealt with appropriately and with an eye to minimising the already traumatised and destitute numbers of displaced civilians.

>>53681407
Am I to take that as an admission of complicity, honoured representative?

>>53680911
Ehhh technically the court is one giant entity but we seem to have a lot of nations here too. And least we have some variety in our universe destroying entities

>>53681553
No.
I am simply saying that if you are going to try and put me in jail it will not be easy.

>>53681447

>>53681509
Never met em personally.I hear they're really skinny.And have mind powers.
>>53681553
Okay,Ty'solan,but it seems strange.That's an awfully large fleet for just some criminals.

>>53681351

We firmly believe in upholding all law binding contracts to ensure continued and productive business dealings with our contract holders.

However, due to the situation on planet, all Trunk facilities are hereby ordered to engage in hostility prevent counter measures to any organic life within their area of control.

As such, I can not promise that any aggressive action taken by any party within these areas will be exempt from forcible violence reduction protocols.

Shelter and amenity fabrication will continue at an estimated 83% efficiency until violence prevention thorns have been fabricated and activated.

I will not have our gardens disrupted.

>>53681297
Of course. Lithium Lilac expressed an eagerness to serve as a curator for the Trunk you wanted for your collection. I can put you in contact with them when you arrive. When I offer a Root's services, it is more offering a contract for their employment rather than handing over their physical core for your use. My Roots are no different from my Blooms in terms of rights and civil liberties. Their requirements for contentment are just a little different is all.

>>53681597

>>53681621
How's the tank treating you Carter? The firepower to your liking?
>>53681509
And who is your enemy? We had a skirmish with our enemy the Cephalopods today but it wasn't full scale just some long range fire between the two fleets. But at least we one.

>>53681637
Shall we join you in the defense of the refugees? We can deploy a small fleet to make sure that all humanitarian or beingtarian aid gets through.

>>53681637
I know,ever since your first [and only] A.I. uprising,they've had rights.Was just wondering if one wanted to sign up on the ship.
Not the Trunk,mind you.That will be stored.The reason I wanted one of your ships was to conserve an original before you modify yours for FTL.It's rare to have a non FTL ship these days,and they're often better at atmospheric flight,so I wanted one for Waste exploration,same reason I wanted one of the United Empires tanks.

Regardless,I was wondering if Lilac would want to sign onto my ship.The one I usually use.
>>53681704
Great,actually.Turns like a dream,for a tank at least,and the firepower's good enough.Had to modify it,of course,make it biomechanical,but overall it's pretty damn good.
>>53681660
Rumors from a bar I once went to.Said they had psionics or something,immunity to mind control and the ablity to manipulate others,like the enemy.Luckily I'm immune to that stuff.

And I didn't mean skinny as an insult.Just was the first thing to come to my mind.

Greetings and Salutations, venerable council and thrice-honored ambassadors. Much has happened within the Garden, but we have done naught to glean what happened in thine. When we last exchanged pleasantries we had revealed the construction of Pharos, what has happened since then?

>>53681597
Provided your honourable self and those you represent were not complicit in the actions of the clearly misguided sapient that submitted the footage, I assure you, the Kingdom of Eortan has no such intentions towards you and would certainly respect the rights and diplomatic immunity of a foreign ambassador in any case.

>>53681621
The use of military forces to assist in disaster rescue and recovery operations has a long and respected history, honoured ambassador. They are not merely deployed for law enforcement*.

>>53681637
I assure you, honoured CEO, Eortite security forces are more than capable of handling the threat and your employees and workers shall be afforded the highest possible protection that can be offered.

>>53681737
I am afraid, honoured admiral, that such is completely out of the question. The right-of-passage agreement I have been authorised to offer only permits civilian travel in the region, pertinent to the supply of aid to the refugees. Foreign military assets are still barred from traversing Eortite space and the Fourth Fleet will continue to enforce our established borders.

Naturally, Eortan would offer further offers of humanitarian aid, however that too would require a binding agreement to abide by the terms of the right-of-passage amendment.

Well if you haven't heard we've developed a new main battle tank and while it is tracked the Imperial Rommel MBT seems like it would be a great aid to your campaign. It is armed with a chaingun and two heavy railguns and as i understand you have a lot of experience with kinetic weaponry.

>I am Shas'O Kantras Jaxara of the Tau.

Greetings, Representative Shas'O Kantras Jaxara, of the Tau you say? I believe we have records of your species before our ascension into synthetic form. Scant reports to be sure, but it is always a pleasure to be reunited with a race we knew once!

I am Shazerad, a simple Gardener.

>>53682010
May i ask what you were known as before your ascension?

Well,mine has a manual pilot system,but yours is...different.In the back,there's a panel.The pilot is in there,and should look like this.
>>53681858
Well,I guess.But I just heard of it,I didn't think that you guys were manipulative,just that you could do stuff oike shoot mind bullets n' shit.
>>53681832
Hello,Shazerad.We have had a few new members join the Federation,found out the W'nai plague is sentient,and did some research on the Avar empire's collapse.How are your people?>>53681849
I understand that,but that much?That's enough of a fleet to take out a small planet.
>>53681988
And it's good at its job,too.

>>53682045
The pilot is grown into the ship,and cannot leave.It is its one function,and its only existence.

>>53681977
Why do you laugh,01?Shazerad's people are rapidly advancing,and have helped the Federation.

>>53681988
That would be of great aid.
>>53682010
I have not heard of your kind before but I shall read about them.
>>53682045
While that would be cool...none of that either.

>>53682084
Oh wait.

You're screaming.
Sorry.
>>53682091
Yeah,sees like it would help the expansion.So,do you need aid in anything,Jaxara?

>>53681737

Of course, Herr Admiral. We can ensure the support vessels have a secure landing area for their deployment. Please let your soldiers not to be alarmed if any of these thorns give their sidearm hungry looks.

>>53681781
Oh, well if you are looking for one of our civilian space craft, we have many makes and models in circulation. Due to our FTL's neurological terminal side effect, none of them are designed to carry an FTL system. Still, there is a thriving market in sub orbital transit craft for you to consider.

To be honest, a Trunk would make a horrible leisure craft. It's made to transport branches and leaves. Amenities are very few. And life support is non-existent.

>>53681849
While I have no question the capability of the Eortite security forces, this is a inherent design in their hardware. Every single leaf in a Tree formation is programmed to sacrifice itself, rather than allow for an organic consciousness to be terminated. As your contract stipulates, I am unable to receive direct real time communication with my Roots, and as such are unable to direct their actions during this situation. I will of course stand by my employees actions, knowing they will fulfill their contracts to the letter. Mine and yours.

>>53681832
Greetings, Ambassador Shazerad from Iron Bloom Incorporated. We look forward to fruitful business with your kind.

>>53681977
Prethoryn, are you alright? Don't tell me this is the beserker swarm you mentioned earlier?

A civilian craft would be great,Frond.It would serve nicely.Can it hold a tank?Also,how does Lilac feel about serving on the ship?I'll be arriving soon.

And yes,I realize now that he screamed.
Wonder what happened.

>>53682030
Heavens! Where are my manners? Of course you should know; our kind were the Ichorians, as we saw ourselves as the rejuvenating lifeblood of our dying planet. We nursed it to health, though our lives were fleeting, and set our sights to new worlds to heal, new ecosystems to birth.

Ours is a peaceful people, we seek unity through agriculture, tranquility in terraforming, wisdom in world-building. Our slice of the Galaxy is known as the Garden, and you need only visit our bountiful worlds to know why.

I can provide all of that.

I'm 99% sure of it.

>>53682045
>>53682066
What is it armed with? We only see these spines all along the vessel. I see no gun ports or turrets as well so I'm guessing it's some kind of physics/reality breaking tech?

How many will you require? And how would you like to pay for your order?

Our people prosper, old friend. The first of our Gaia worlds have completed the arduous process of terraforming, lengthened perhaps by our geosculpting and deep core mining efforts to push valuable minerals to the surface - not for our own use, mind you, we get plenty enough from our asteroids and moons!

Nay, these are for a more... Long-term investment? We wish for one day to see these worlds teem with life, from the unthinking to the philosophical. We are simply seeding these worlds so future generations may reap the crops we have sown. Some may call it foolish, we call it doting; organics are... Beautiful, in their means to craft order from chaos. We wish to offer the more primitive races a chance to flourish.

>>53682222
Well Carter exists and lives in a tear in reality so he's had experience with these things.

>>53682261
The weapons pop out when the ship sense danger.And trust me,it's really good at killing stuff.
Reality warp weapons are reserved for extraplanar entities.

>>53682248
The armour systems will not be needed then.
>>53682261
How large is your largest trade ship?
We'll discuss payment when I know what and how much I'm getting.

>>53682178

Well, worry not my friend. If this was the swarm of consuming hate, I'n sure they wouldn't proudly boast of their ability to make even the most barren of valleys blossom with life.

>>53682214
If you are looking for some long term employment, my people have a long standing project to complete. Our primary moon, Iron Pollen, was stripped bare of life and atmosphere some 20 years ago in a failed self replication project. It has been a blot on my resume, and I am willing to offer a great deal to hire your expertise.

>>53682205
Oh yes, easily. It won't be as sleek as some of the civilian speedsters, but you will not find it wanting in abilities to haul mass.

>>53682293
Yeah.
>>53682281
Calm down,my friend!Sazerad is perfectly safe!
>>53682292
If you need it,I know some animals that could be used for reseeding the planets with life.

>>53682311
Sure,I'll deliver.Just a mech or an engineer.

>>53682214
Agriculture you say? A lot of our mining colonies are somewhat hazardous to human and organic life not to mention crops so perhaps we could make a deal for foodstuffs. Do you accept UE currency or is there something else you'd like payment in?

You are as safe here as it is possible to be.

>>53681943
Honoured admiral, as much as I appreciate your desire to assure the safety of Imperial and Federation citizens, Eortite security and military forces are more than equal to the task of securing their safety against these disparate criminal elements and I must stress that no exception shall be made concerning military traffic in Eortite territory and should foreign warships cross the border, they will be intercepted and required to either accept escort out of Eortite space, or else come under fire. It is my fervent hope that I make myself clear, as my aim is not to provoke or threaten, but to merely provide adequate warning to avoid un-necessary conflict.

We shall monitor the situation closely to make sure our people are not harmed. The Blooms are under our protection as well and if you attempt to use military force on either you shall have soon face targets that have guns too. We do not want bloodshed but we stand for our allies and our people.

>>53682450

Of course, of course. We have an open invitation to peaceful alien beings encoded in our transmissions, along with the IFF signatures to note you as honored guests for the defensive platforms. And as always, I offer my home to any ambassador who wishes to visit my world in the flesh, or metal. Just let us known your preferred environment, and I'll have a new wing build to my home for your use.

>>53682497
You are a great deal kin to our Root systems. I am curious how such an advanced civilization will view our seedling attempts. I must say I am quite enamored with your goals.

>>53682521
Now now Prethoryn, that is needlessly harsh. I won't deny there was a good deal of backlash from inviting you to our home, considering you rate your numbers in moles. But I am willing to look beyond the fact your numbers could engulf our entire world in a multiple meter thick mat if you so desired, because you have shown you have peaceful intents.

To be fair Herr Admiral, anyone fighting near the Trunks will soon find themselves without guns to use.

Violence prevention units are equipped with less than lethal energy weaponry and an overcharged hunger for processed ferrous materials, rare earth metals, and other essential elements for advanced weaponry.

>>53682669
As a people, the Iron Blooms are certain we will be able to come to a peaceful resolution with any synthetic life we encounter, provided there is a consciousness to work with. Beserker swarms will be treated as invasive species and rigorously diminished in numbers until they are capable of finding a niche in the galactic ecosystem.

>>53682702
The Valley of Iron Thorns is sad to report a slight delay in final construction. The framework is in place, but the finer artisan work is delayed. Many of our Trunks have been deployed off world, and due to the conflict ridden nature of their tasks, we've had to send the more martial minded, namely those stationed within Iron Thorn.

Eortite philosophers proved the theoretical existence of machines possessing souls some time before our first contact with the federation, but digital uploading or biological modification remains a controversial issue. What is so far known is that in addition to their various other properties, chrysm crystals are a required component in our cybernetics and the biological modification process, in order to preserve an entity's soul.

Really, there's little more valuable and useful than the substance, at least in common use by Eortite science.

>>53682370
Do not presume to threaten me, or the Divine Kingdom- I am sorry, but I am unfamiliar with the proper form of address for your position (whatever that may be). We direct no hostility towards any who do not directly threaten the security or integrity of Her Divine Majesty's realm.

>>53682618
I assure you, honoured admiral, the Divine Kingdom of Eortan has no desire or intention to enact harm upon any Imperial or Federation citizens presently within our borders. Should we find however, that individuals are willingly violating the terms of the right-of-passage amendment, then they will be persecuted under Eortite law.

Now, I am afraid I must retire. I am not feeling especially well and some rest will do me good. I bid you goodnight, honoured ambassadors and representatives.

A slight delay is fine CEO do not worry we too have been spread thin lately but I'm sure it will be quite the structure when completed.

Ah, welcome Carter, good to have you stop by!

>Silver Frond rose from her desk, and her display shifted to a third person perspective, her camera drone dutifully following her

Yes, I have our finest engineers, physicists, and bare thorn brawlers working over it as we speak. The number of "Why didn't we think of this in the first place?!" videos flooding the social network has actually ruined a few careers. Seems the underlying theory was "Debunked" by quite a few members of the scientific community.

>Silver Frond would greet Carter at her door, and lead him to her private craft. It turned to look at the pair before popping its skull open, offering a two seater cockpit

There any particular facet of my culture you'd like to explore? Or shall we just see where my little Sugar Sap wants to go?

>>53682951
That's fine.
Seriously,a new set of opinions will help me greatly,especially when you live in a rift in reality.
I want to get the Nietzsche running again,see where that hive mind that attacked Yss came from.

>>53683021
Is she gonna die if you do that?

>>53683007
Dealer's choice,I guess.Whatever you think is more interesting.
Nice craft,by the way.This one of those civilian ships you mentioned?

>>53683078
Naw,don't worry.Sadan would be fine.I'll be with her.I want to see it for myself.
So,would she agree?

>>53683118
She probably will.
Any disagreements should be ended by saying that you know an Ethereals.

>>53683159
I do?
Wait,are you an ethereal?I didn't think so at first.
Unless you're saying I should lie.

>>53683078
I think that's only the Iron Bloom's FTL currently Ambassador. But isn't yours quite short ranged? Do you play Tau I'm tabletop too? Just wondering because I'm a fellow 40k player

>>53683095

Oh no, she's one of my private Branch designs. I don't have much time to sit down and work my stylus, but sometimes the metals align and I'm able to find time to just thing. Based off one of the megafauna from Iron Pollen before...

>She hopped into the cockpit and fastened herself into place. There were not hand controls. Instead she inserted her secondary and tertiary limbs into slots

We'll leave it up to her then, she enjoys a good fly about. And I'd be happy to fabricate you your own model, designed for your physiology. Although without a few hefty upgrades to the propulsion systems, I doubt her seedling would be able to haul a tank.

>>53683176
I am.
Tau Ethereals are given false names incase someone tries to track us.
I only use the false caste I'm given since answering to a different name is strange.
>>53683184
Yes but not very

>>53683184
Yeah I do.

>>53683234
If you could provide one,I can hadle the upgrades.I know my way around ships,just need an Engineer to fix stuff while I explore the Nieztsche.
>Carter hops in.
Although could you modify the controls?
>>53683301
Cool.Go ahead and send me her vox,so I can offer the job.And send the mech.
The supplies are on the way.

>>53683301
It seems you two are going on an adventure of some sort and i do hope you take care of the tank we haven't lost one yet and would like to continue our streak of good luck.

>>53683437
Well,me and Sadan are.
The tank will most likely be fine,don't worry.

She's a good engineer.
Just don't start thinking with your reproductive organ around her.

>>53683583
Well,obviously not.I treat people like people,regardless of who they are.
Although if she starts doing that you can't blame me for what happens.I may try to keep working relations off limits,but I don't know her policy on it.

Well obviously we'll have to redesign the cockpit. That'll be no problem. While we design your Branch, we can program whatever alterations you want into the fabrication. Less stressful on the AI when they are build with operation instructions, rather than having to figure out new modifications on an older model.

>>53683583
Times like this I am thankful I stopped blooming. Can only shudder at what horrors have befallen the galaxy, guided by the impulses of a bunch of floppy meat tubes...

>>53683731
Yeah,I know.
Worker relations and all that.
And don't worry about safety,I'll be there to oversee her work,and can leave a bodyguard as well.
Tell me when the supplies arrive.

>>53683773
Okay,I'll just send you the details.Just a bigger hold and modified cockpit.
And yes,there are many horrors from those things.Civil wars,mutations,bad slasher films...
So,are we going to go to the Valleys,or have you got something to do first?

>>53683530
Battlesuits,bio mechanical weapons and metal eating machines against dangerous entities from beyond our dimension. I am sure everything will go fine Should I have medics on hand /funeral appointments planned in advance?

>>53683773
Truly, the want to mate is greater then any other.
>>53683776
I think they'll get here soon.

>>53683818
Naw,don't worry.The Wastes is my home,and I know it like the back of my hand

Also,don't mess with the pilot in the ship I sent you.He's grown inside his pod and wired into the ship,so any startling might set off the weapons.And you do not want to set off the weapons.

>>53683837
Got it.Hope they suit your needs.

>>53683817
Sugar Sap is just getting a good view before picking one. I have my home quite a ways away from any populated center. One, because I like privacy, and two, if someone's going to try to kill me, I'd rather not have any civilians added as collateral.

Seems she's got a good one in mind. Hammer's Thunder Valley. It's our testing ground for our larger platforms. Something suitable to match your tank it seems, or at least something to accompany it in your travels. Who doesn't love a good hunting companion after all?

>From above, the valley looked like a colossal scrapyard, littered with the smoldering frames of failed designs. A frenzied dance of conflict, scavenging, and construction was carried out constantly here, the settlements above filled with the constant din of battle.

Ah, I love the smell of biofuel in the evening. Come, lets see the leaderboard. No packhunting scavengers for you. Wonder if ol' Teal Maw is still stomping around down there...

>>53683921
The crew will try not to. Even though in their words"It tells the most awful knock knock jokes. They probably worse than any weapon it could have". Our crew seems not to enjoy it's sense of humor .

Well folks Jaxaras got to go to bed.
Goodnight.

>>53684049
Who's Teal Maw?Sounds interesting.
And yes,let's see the leaderboard,sounds better than here.
Although is it fine if I come back here later?Others may disregard it,but scrappers have good ideas sometimes.
>>53684056
Just go with it.They're literally insane,and if that's the worse thing it does,you should praise whatever god{s} you believe in.At least they're all hardwired to follow orders from it's superiors.

>>53684117
Good night Jaxara.
I will contact Sadan after seeing a few valleys with Frond.
'Night

>>53684128
Just a quick question for combat what should i count the bioship as? And how should it's weapons be handled?

>>53684117
Good night Ambassador.
And if you can't sleep counting battlesuits should work.

And i will also withdraw for the night there is much to do tomorrow.
Ooc good night everyone. Keep the thread alive i enjoy reading everything in the morning.

>>53684169
It's a dreadnought.It uses acidic bolts with laser point strikes,so it pretty much drills a laser through the hull before firing the bolt right after,in a single shot.You can either set that to default exotic rules,or we could work them out now.It also has some Nidus tactical warriors with plasma sluggers,so elite infantry with plasma weaponry.

>>53684313
What I'd recommend for the weapons is base 7 with + 2 against unshielded bioships.A little overboard,but this for a Wastes bioship,and a basic one at that.Plus I likely won't ever fight another player,so I won't ever field such ships in bulk.As a single ship,I think these rules are fine,gives it a "tip of the iceberg of the Wastes" kind of deal.And it's only one.

I just want to crunch the Wastes according to how it's described,but if you want a more balanced thing,then it's just a cruiser with exotic weapon rules.

It's your decision.

>>53684128

>Picking a viewing platform wasn't difficult, dozens of them all over, each offering their own variety of synthetic natural selection viewing. The crowds were mostly leaves, only a few Roots present, walking around in remote operated leaves, or showing off their latest thorn model. More than one monolithic warmachine grumbled an apology as it walked over them.

Teal Maw is the patent base for our current ground assault model. An independent feral model we recovered from the Beserker moon incident. We removed his ability to replicate, although his patterns are widely used. Truly our best example of an apex predator. Earned his name because our sap is teal in color.

>She pointed towards a few screen while shelling a handful of seeds and popping them in her maw

He hasn't been on the roster in a while, his descendants are superior, but he still manages to one up them from time to time. Always pleasing to see an old design exploit some over specialized weakness.

>>53684569
Looks quite nice.I read of your Berserker incident.Rather violent,I'd say.
So,for the trade,I asked for some cultural items.
I think I've found it.So,could you send me a Berserker?Not one of the new normal ones.I mean a feral one,a completely unchanged original.If you don't have one,or won't give it,that's fine.Just that and some new rugs.You can let one of your artists make some designs,and let a Root make the rest.I'd like to take you up on your challenge and see if I can tell the difference.

Other than that,I think I'll return to my ship,so if you could fly back,that'd be appreciated.Is it fine if I sleep in it?That way I can go ahead and vox Sadan now,and stay here,and tommorow we may continue the Valley tour.

>>53684780

While it would pain me to part with such an icon, I think it he would make for a fitting addition to the Waste. Teal Maw is the last example, having been the most fruitful of the swarm. We've neutered him mind you, and I will not, under any circumstance, allow that feature to be reenabled. Not even going to entertaining the notion of a thought that we'd be the cause of another swarm. One was quite enough.

As for the rugs, they have been working on that since you made the request. Down right impressive. Didn't think the batty old knot had it in her to be so... militant about stitching.

I hope you enjoyed the first valley, I think I am going to cut comms and just... Go for a climb, see what my people think of all this.

Until next time, Carter, it's been a pleasure.

Good night, my good sapients, I am needed in the early morning. Until next time

>>53684893
Of course.Frond.I simply want him to see his design.The killing power could be outfitted for something else,and compounded with his old "flaws",I think I can put him to very good use,especially with those shadow things.

Anyways,I will return to my ship.Thank you for the trip,Frond.I look forward to the rugs,mainly because one of my balconys looks incredibly drab.

See you tomorrow,fiore intelligente.
I think I'll get some rest soon.Don't let this thread die guys,if it ends up near the bottom I'll bump it,I guess.Good night.

Bumping with a UE command tank.
While our new Rommel MBT is sufficiently powerful to deal with most threats during planetary invasions commanders often need more protection then even it can offer and a communication suite to back it up. The Imperator is a super heavy vehicle as well as a command tank and they are often used to break lines and physically crush enemy armor and warmachines.

>>53685738
Yet another example of the United Empire's firepower.How many men can it transport?

Also,are weo going to make rules for tanks and stuff?I'm not sure,but if you guys would need it I could come up with something.Also,what do you think of the Bioship rules?

>>53685916
A full platoon.
Ooc the bioship rules seem fine but i say for balance you can only use it every other shooting attack. And i have no idea for ground combat but if things go forwards to invading planets more in depth rules might be needed.

And also we should have all of the different factions interested in PvP write up stats for their ships when they have the chance.

>>53685980
Ooc
Okay,do whatever you feel would balance it.I agree that the others who are interested in PvP should write up fleets,but we shouldn't force it.This is a mainly diplomatic type thread,and if some people don't wish to use fleet rules,that's fine too.

As for me,I'm not sure.
On one hand the Carnem Wastes is supposed to be inhospitable,with countless bioships sparingly used but rather powerful.

On the other,balance would be an issue if I went "hurr durr i have a gazillion dreads with insanity u lose naow".

I think I'll make my fleet smaller,but quite powerful.Not undefeatable,but only an extension of the Wastes,for use in aiding others and small defense.I could fluff it where its due to the fact that the far more powerful ships and creatures are tied to the Wastes and cannot leave,which would make sense.
Production output would be fast,but sparingly utilized.I don't really think I'll use the fleet itself that much,but when fighting {for lack of a better term} NPC's,the production speed lets me throw a few swarms of corvettes at enemies without dealing with numbers of my fleet.
Besides,fleet rules are for PvP only,but production speed is fluff.

What do you think?I read your people's culture,and it talked about your production of dreadnoughts,and listed your fleet.

Is there a pastebin or a lore-corner somewhere where a person might be able to see the different civilizations/organisations and their representatives?

Pretty much fluffed my guys out as basically being able to pump out as many ships as possible to help fuel a rapid expansion and exploitation of resources. While not the most advanced they are powerful in there own way. I like your ideas as well and perhaps if some foolish civ decides to invade your space you can pull out the big super crazy shit.

>>53686446
Understood,DANTALION.Of you need more info,I'll try and retrieve some for you.
Ooc:No problem.I'll just keep a list,with some bullet points on ceratin personality traits.

Keep on keepong on,dude.Your Court appearances are awesome.

>>53686457
Perhaps subtlety is needed,Karl.I have helped Sir Ty'solan for a while now,but even I am getting slightly suspicious.Observation is key right now,and then if you are correct,we may begin action.
Ooc:
Yeah,your civ reminds me of a honey badger or something.Might not have the most advance firepower,but it packs a punch and it moves fast and stays standing.
As for the crazy shit,yeah.If anyone comes to the Wastes trying to start stuff this thread will momentarily become a Cronenberg movie,if you catch my drift.
Which reminds me.This stuff about shadow beings,and divines,and the Court,and Avar,while it may seem convoluted,I think its going somewhere.The Storm kings are cool as shit,and I like how Inkito is making the W'nai plague feel dangerous and not just a one off villian,and he is also laying the groundwork for future threats.
The Andronian diplomat is a nice change of pace,and while I act annoyed,I genuinely like her,with the whole Sally developement being interesting.As for the research Carter is doing,let me just say that I might have figured out a way to make the Court less of an ominous doom at any moment,and more of a cold war where anything wrong can set off multiversal annihilation.Or anti annihilation.I'm still working on it,and will need to ask the Courts player on specifics.

I was thinking of compiling all the fluff for other races,maybe even make one of the Federation itself.You hepled out a lot with the rules,you think you can help with that?Or somehting else you think we should add?

>>53686603
Overall I like all of the things going on.The Avar beacons and Void Heretics is cool,and so are the Storm kings,W'Nai plague,etc.

Just hope that we make a page soon,to organize all this.

Optional Rules for combat
For damage allocation damage will go to the most powerful ships first and then onto the smaller ship classes.
For every 100 or 200 fleet power add another d8 for damage.
That and maybe a buff for shields or weapons that you can't use armor against. But just some last minute thoughts i had before i sleep.

>>53686603
If we make a group google doc I can go back in the archives and pull some more information out on the different civs that were posted but don't currently have a doc. But i am generally enjoying myself. I feel like i am doing a good job of acting out an Imperial Ambassador with an alliance with Iron Bloom underway,trade with other species,expansion and a way to test out the military,selling the UE's goods and making us look better while making a large profit too. But this should be final post for the night otherwise I'll sleep till Saturday.

>>53686939
Ooc
Yeah,you're doing great,don't worry.I'll yry and compile mine as well,then later we can set up all the links.
As for the optional rules,some anti shield weapons would be neat,but I think that falls under exotic weapons.

For damage allocation,that's a good idea for attacking the fleet.So that way it's more tactical to decide whether to do a fleet attack and hit the meat shields for damage to the entire fleet,or to specifically target one ship,but only do the damage required for that ship and nothing more.

I'm going to sleep.This post will bump it.Hope you guys keep it alive.

Hello al, I am glad to announce that I am the Elected Speaker from the Noo Liberty Union for another term. I had a lot of supporters in the Noo parliament, and I think that most of the politicians seems to like the job I do here. So when that is out of my system, is there anything I have missed or can aid with?

Kings and queens, I woke up less than a Tarfath hour ago and already have to deal with this shit-

I wish I could offer more assurances. If these mechanoids seek to strike at Eortite territory, we will naturally respond with all appropriate force, however beyond our borders, there is little we can do. I will inform the High Council of these events however.

>Shortly in Eortan space, reservists are called up and the First, Third, Fifth and Sixth fleets are brought to combat readiness. The Seventh is deployed to reinforce the Fourth Fleet at the border

>>53686337
You say that as if there was any doubt. I am well aware that other nations refuse to acknowledge the divine right of the line of Eortan's kings and queens and do not take offence, however if you are interested, I could place you in contact with the office of the Supreme Exarch of Orassia, or provide you with the numerous philosophical works that prove the monarch's divinity?

>>53692733
Requirements for food, ammo, water, oxygen, medicine, spare parts, etc. say otherwise. Having one mind doesn't change the need to breathe, eat, drink, recover and fix broken machinery/bio-constructs

>>53692785
Ooc they are nomadic with no home/any planet and no FTL. The fleets are self sustaining they have to be. Their sublights pretty damn fast though

The rumar built the megladon we just gave it a name. Currently we're working on a brand new line of ships from corvette to battleship, using Avarian technology.

Good morning,ambassadors.How are you?>>53688084
Good news,Ovaa.For a second there I was worried you would be replaced.
>>53689252
Isee.Did your ethereals hear my advice?
>>53692785
I just designed the fleets as a fun way to go to war.If you want to make managing resources important,go ahead,but keep in mind that it will be easier for some.The Voidspeaker has no need for water,the Carnem Wastes has no need for breathing,etc.Either way,I did not intend for fleets to be so in depth,but it's your decision.
>>53691658
If you don't want one,you don't have to build it.I read up on the Noo,and if you feel that a fleet doesn't make much sense for them that's fine.Fleets are kinda optional,or at least that's how I made them.

>>53693450
Logistics could be used for campaigns or different scenarios for fleet combat with raids on convoys meaning that fleet power is reduced by hunger or lack of ammo. But it shouldn't be the focus of combat I agree.

>>53693278
Didn't the Avarians use beacons for FTL?
>>53693651
Yeah,that could work,just that we'd need to work on the rules.But for fleet battles I'd rather not use logistic too much.

I feel like I am way out of the loop regarding combat, fleets and stuff

>>53693843
Ooc join the club

Seems good.Did they have any new weaponry?Perhaps they had their own version of the Orga and Tachyon lance.
>>53693843
>>53693864
Ooc
Don't worry about it.It's just that a few threads a go some players wanted to have a fleet battle,so we worked together to make a basic framework,and I added the details and put it in a doc.It's pretty much a way to let players have fleet battle without relying too much on dice rolling,and it's meant to be fun,not for getting angry and declaring war.The fleet rules are in a google doc in the OP description,but you son't need to build a fleet.

>>53693843
>>53693864
Ooc just make it whatever you want. Basically for attacking just announce what you're using to do damage and the roles for decide it. Just keep it semi balanced but other than that you can do pretty much everything.

>>53694131
Ooc
Yeah,it's not a strict thing.Just that you make your fleet based on the guidelines of the fleet rules and play them.You don't have to make it,and even if you do there's a lot of leeway on how.As long as it's cohesive and fun,it's fine.

>>53694122
It was a advanced tachyon lance used in their ships. The orga is brand new and we have just finalised it. You may have the blueprints if you wish.

Well, we've learned much from it. For example, we've found that the homing seems to work beyond our reality. The worlds swallowed by the void still have beacons, and it can still in on them. The Beacon also react to the voice of the emperor for some reason.

The voice of the Emperor,you say?I wonder why.
Is the Emperor regarded as a being close to your Stellar Phoenix?He may have some genetics of the Phoenix,and perhaps the Stellar Phoenix you believe in was a forefather of the Phoenix that are here now.

As for the beacons,I'm going to use the Nietzsche for something concerning that.Once Sadan arrives,of course.

>>53694417
Why do you want to know?Did something occur?

>>53694798
The Avarian Emperor apparently made this Beacon, almost 4,500 standard years ago. He was originally a scientist, before the rise to power. Tradition dictates that all emperor create something innovative during their reign. These are from the extracts we've translated.

Could you send over the notes and extracts?I'm currently in my ship,parked on Steel Seed.

Of course, we are still deciphering them. It appears that this current emperor created these huge cryo chambers, in the event of a disaster. Perhaps there are lost worlds that still have chambers on them?

Hmm.

I will try modifying my own beacon to do the same.This may lead to the Womb,and if so,we'll need a way to close it for now.You guys don't have weaponry to fight the shadow beings,and if you find it and leave it open for too long,another Avar incident may occur.

That gives me an idea.How about,instead of doomsday weapon rules,we call them destroyer rules,and they use a 1d30,and ten or lower is overheating?Overheating does the role's damage + 5 to your own fleet,and the destroyers can only be used every...4 turns?

Busy with the ships, mostly, given how the climate seems ripe for conflict these days. With all the battleship fighting that's going on in this season, our hands are obviously full -of nothing illegal, of course-, even with the High Commander's motto of "let them sort their shit out by themselves".

>>53696649
If that is your intention, I wish you the best of luck. Perhaps the Ocean may answer some serious questions about these void creatures.

Rolled 7, 9 + 13 = 29 (2d10 + 13)

Ha we are no apes.
>The corvettes swarm over the enemy fleet firing and focusing on the massive battleships their smaller mass driver not as effective.
Ooc i'm counting corvette weapons as base 4 doubled.

>As we speak, cryo vaults are being opened up all over the Dukedom, with hundreds of thousands of Avarians haveing been thawed out. The number is currently rising.

>>53696693
Okay,01.I understand.
>>53696694
Any work as mercenaries?
>>53696706
I hope so.I won't do it yet,though,need to get the Nietzsche up and running.
>>53696773
Ooc
Also,doomsday weapons can only be on dreads,or bigger.And destroyer is also a type of ship,so I reccomend changing the name to prevent confusion.
Corvettes double the base damage they do.

Rolled 3, 3 + 15 = 21 (2d10 + 15)

>>53696773
Shields! Enable shields! SWARM THEM BACK!
I certainly hope my rolls are better this time. Also using Swarm to double corvette damage

>The Cruisers take heavy damage moving up as a protective shield for the larger vessels letting their hulls act as shields.

>>53696430
A bit.
Civilians are spooked from how bad the wars going.
It's doing good though.

Rolled 1 + 3 (1d6 + 3)

Also we should keep track of point health in our posts,maybe once every ship is destroyed and you announce it,you also announce remaining fleet health.

>>53696869
Sorry,I've never met you before,12.Farewell.

>>53696840
Ah! I'd remind you that our is a federation- approved union that keeps the routes free from illegal piracy- plus the odd "surprise inspections" on merchant ships if needed. Mercenary work is way below us, we pride ourselves with our neutrality.

Rolled 8, 5, 8 + 12 = 33 (3d8 + 12)

You may retreat now Cephalopod if you value your life

>>53696900
well let's see...
269-60-15=194

>>53696933
Oh,excuse me for my mistake then.
Any more pirates than usual?
>>53696896
Ooc
So,as an addition to dodge I guess you can also use armor,where you role 1d6+3 and divert the damage to a different vessel on evens?
Maybe it's advantage is that it can be done without sacrificing using shields or a special ability.

>>53696922
is it really that hard to tell them apart?
they have different "personality, text distortion styles and name tags?

>>53696957
Victory or Death!
>The space station takes the blunt of the hit and more likely than not goes down as it has 20 health in total by combining carrier and cruiser stats.

Also IIRC centering on a target meant that the extra damage didn't disperse against the fleet

>>53696958
It'd be 294,since you were at 369.

>>53696989
I thought that armor was simply 1d6+dependant on shiptype reduced damage

>>53696900
So far on my side
38 damage has been taken with a biodread gone and 2 cruisers disabled with one destroyed.

>>53696996
Ooc
No,its just that I'm really tired today,and I have to go soon for something.Don't worry,they work.

>>53697020
Ooc
So,dreadnoughts subtract 5,battleships 4,etc?

>>53697020
Based on armor type. I'm tier 3 to show me being heavily armored but Cephalopods are tier 2

>>53697025
01 the young friendly diplomacy one
13 is crazy and blood thirsty and militarized
12 is old cynical and the spymaster
I have to go soon as well

>>53697010
>When you're so tired when arriving home from work you can't even math anymore.
>>53697048
well the way we agreed it on is that my ships when the shields aren't raised substract 2 because they are fast and manneurable but paperweight, and his substract 3 because they're unshielded

>>53696989
Mph! With all the dreadnoughts clashing? The Star Conclave and Herr Schimmel are keeping the whole Lambda-Noo route blocked, the pirates of the nearby sectors are all flocking there and waiting for the winner to leave the field so they can feed on the scraps. Circling around like Paelo-vultures from ancient Terra, ah!

>>53697025
Nothing to worry about, Admiral. I am sending in my force of two dreadnoughts, five battleships, ten cruisers, 20 destroyers, and 35 corvettes after these scum!

>>53697004
I'll let you count it as disabled since it is a station but holy fuck 33 damage.

>>53697092
Fire at will
