So what are people hoping to accomplish with their fleets?  It turns out that my fleet is sort of ME2 Cerberus (Not the psycho robot/reaper/craziness ME3 Cerberus).

In reply to Ananvil (msg #133):

Aww, I just started the first Mass Effect for the third time...

I can say that my fleet will not be a military fleet, if we run into pirates, or some other threat, early on, I'm almost sure my entire fleet will die.

Oh.  Hope I didn't spoil anything?  I kind of assumed everyone had played it by now.

EDIT: Also, that's the worst least informative spoiler ever.

I will build you spaceships to replace your losses. $2 each.

Whoa... a new challenger is approaching.  Who are you??

In reply to Ananvil (msg #135):

It's okay, I've heard a spoiler here and there about ME2 and 3, so I know that isn't really a spoiler.

In reply to Qlawdat (msg #137):

I've actually been here the whole time, I just never really posted, since I've been talking to our very helpful GM (who SPOILER ALERT! happens to be my brother) off of the forum.

So I was hitting "random article" on wikipedia to get inspiration for planet names, and I came across:

"Flavor of Love (season 1)"

"Admiral - set a course for the Flavor Flav system."

Ah you are the brother.  I hadn't figured out who was who of the few people that had never posted.  Welcome I guess?

In reply to The Universe (msg #140):

Do not want.

In reply to Qlawdat (msg #141):

Thanks for the apprehensive welcome!

LAN TOWN!

So how is everyone's fleets coming?  I wanna start this game. :)

My fleet is submitted and I do need to swap two or three numbers around they arnt major enough that we would have to wait.

Fleet Submitted.

I'll give everyone a 'poke' tonight, I figured that some people might still be recovering from the LAN party...

I won't be able to finish mine until mid-Tuesday/Tuesday night, I should be done by the end of Wednesday.
I'm looking forward to finally playing this!

spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccccccccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeee shiiiiiiiiiiiiiippppppppppppppppppppssssssssssssssssssss

After everyone getting really really excited over Legend of Korra during the LAN party I sat down and marathoned the shit out of it.

Metal bending is advanced earth bending.
Lightning bending is advanced fire bending.
Blood bending is advanced water bending.

What is advanced air bending? Could it be... SPACE BENDING?

Space/Time.  Grapple and jump forward in time.

I've been adding a bunch of stuff to the forum.  The game map should also be in final form now.  Everything should be set up (except for a few fleets) for the game tomorrow.

I'm going to keep systems simple (see the Sirius system) until players start asking for more information.

Haha, can we post personals to the SpaceCraigsList?

Single White Fleet looking for soulmate.  Likes long flights in the dark, finding strange new worlds, and new civilizations, boldly blowing up things that look funny to me.  Non-smoker.
