Re: Steve Jobs dies

TBF, we don't know his motivation. He might not have actually thought that he could beat cancer with a dietary change and a handful of herbs. Pancreatic cancer generally has a survival rate of something very close to "nil," and he might have just wanted to get whatever time he could witho...

Re: Steve Jobs dies

He was very sick. I was impressed he lasted as long as he did before resigning. Very sad to hear. Sad in a way. But he died this soon because he was too stubborn to follow traditional medical advice. Instead when he found out he had cancer he attempted to deal with it by altering his diet for 9 mon...

Re: Alpha V2 OOC Thread

Yeah, I noticed that warp was a very rapid tech field. I kinda expected it to be slowed for this sim or slowed at the 9.9 mark. Well Warp cost are exponential still. I did a test ships on this just to show this. If you are at 9.8 and stay there my design takes 2 years. If you are at 9.8 and you go ...

Re: Alpha V2 OOC Thread

I will work on these as fast as I can but with Monday off that is the best day for me to get them all back. I am doing a few backend modifications to the sheet this turn that will take me some time so expect them by Monday.

Re: BETA SIM OOC THREAD

Just a question...is Mark around? Since it was his ships either passing Jacorn or UFP space that set this latest off it seems odd he has been so quiet.

Re: Alpha V2 OOC Thread

A few people have asked so let me state it here.

Diplomacy is only advancing one years worth of points every 5 years. I don't want it all resolved prior to time when things start moving. Rather than rest the points at turn 1 I just am applying them at the 1 year per turn rate.

Re: Alpha V2 OOC Thread

Guys, since turns took until Thursday to get out this time let's have them due Wednesday by midnight if we can. If you have already sent it and wish to make changes please do so. I have a busy early week at work this week so it works out for me too.

Re: BETA SIM IC THREAD

The Federation is confident that the ships did not pass through Jacorn space with permission. We are making arrangements to provide the Jacorn with the necessary equipment to detect such incursions. At this point we find the Cardassian threats premature and completely unnecessary in regard to the Ja...

Re: Battle of the Week : Battle of Hoth

Converging streams of fire is the norm for that sort of thing. WWII fighters, the basis of fighter combat in SW, all had their wing mounted guns converge at a set distance in front of the aircraft. Set by the engineers who designed aircraft, or by ground wrenches who never even had a class about ai...

I just posted the NTS treaty in the treaties thread. Got sick of having to search for it every time it comes up.
