Space Empires: Introduction, Rules, & Overview v2.0
<h2>Space Empires, Introduction & Overview v2.0</h2>
Space Empires is a war forum set far, far, far off in the galaxy. Various systems and tribes on the various planets of the galaxy are preparing for a new age, one that will open up leaders for these systems and races will begin to develop. Space Empires will begin in the year 450 AR. AR = after revolution which was when various systems united in underground movements to push the overwhelming pirates out of their lands. This formed a new age, one without slavery and judging.
The point in this game is to build up an empire, raise its economy, military, politics, industry, and much, much more. It will not be an easy task.
Some rules include:
1.) All empires must follow the military types, however, they can rename them to how they like, or generally alter the stats of them, as long as they are even with other empire¡¦s, not including technological advances.
2.) All empires begin with four systems, consisting of several different-sized planets, and numbers of planets. The terrain type and temperature is to your imagination.
3.) Technology will be monitored, and an example tech advance will be administered.
4.) There will be a galaxy map composed by myself that will include detailed structure of the galaxy and labels.
5.) Empire news databases should be given on a regular basis, as well as military news.
6.) No Deathstar type space stations. ļ
8.) More to come in the forum¡K
No new fleet types can be created. However, new weaponry can. You cannot have mixed squadrons, i.e. a light squadron with 3 photon weapon gunboats and 3 pulse weapon gunboats. All squadrons must be the same and cannot be mixed. However, there can be mixed fleets, such as a gunboat squadron with pulse weapon (plus 7 other light weapons, which MUST be the same) and another gunboat squadron with photon weapon, plus maybe a corvette squadron or two.
NOTES:
1.) Each turn is 2 AR months equal to 2 real life days.
2.) On the map, there are asteroid fields. This is where asteroids usually appear and they act as oceans for systems and sectors of the galaxy.

GROUND ASSAULT TYPES
::::: Mobile Infantry :::::

:: 2 credits
::: LPR & G-LPR
::::: Mounted Infantry (Cavalry) :::::

:: 5 credits
::: 2x LPR
::::: Robotic Infantry Automation (RI-A) :::::
: Great attacking and a bit slower than cavalry, but also great at defense. (Note: Similar to AT-PT walkers in Star Wars.) Counts as 3 infantry in troop transport (ex: 1,000 infantry is what you have, and you want 200 RI-As. That would mean 600 men would be needed from the infantry.)
:: 10 credits
::: Standard Beam Cannon, 2x LCP
::::: Robotic Assault Automation (RA-A) :::::
: Heavy robotic unit that is slow, but very powerful. (Note: Similar to the AT-AT walkers in Star Wars.) Counts as 6 vehicles in vehicle transport.
:: 20 credits
::: 1x Heavy Beam Cannon, 2x Standard Beam Cannon, 3x LCP
::::: Mechanized Recon Automation (MR-A)
: The fastest automation that is used for recon assistance, as in infantry assistance or flank/reinforcement. Counts as 2 infantry in troop transport. Light armor.
:: 5 credits
::: 2x LCP
::::: Mobile Artillery :::::
: Great at attacking and is usually in a small amount compared to armor/tanks. They have no armor and are only good at defending if in some sort of fortress defense.
:: 16 credits
::: 1x AC-M
::::: Troop Transport :::::
: Used to transport up to 50 men on the ground. (mobile infantry only)
:: 8 credits
::: 1x LCP
::::: Terrain Tank :::::

:: 12 credits
::: 1x HG-MR, 2x Pulse Cannon
::::: Hover Tank :::::
: Fast tank, light armor, medium weaponry, in a sense.
:: 10 credits
::: 1x LG-MR, 2x LCP
::::: Ground Speeder :::::
: Fast airship only useful for ground battles. (similar to the snow speeder in Star Wars)
:: 24 credits
::: 2x Pulse Cannon, 1x HG-MR, 3x LCP
::::: Speeder Bike :::::
: Fastest ground unit. A mobile infantry on a light vehicle with two LPRs. (similar to the speeder bike in Star Wars)
:: 4 credits
::: 1x LCP
<h2>Weapon Types</h2>
::::: NOTES ON WEAPONRY :::::
::: On fleet weaponry: below the header (ex: LIGHT FLEET WEAPONRY) you will see an amount of money. This is how much each light weapon costs to maintain. So, if you have a gunboat with 8 light weapons, it is only 2 credits to maintain (then again, a gunboat on ground could be destroyed by two infantry).
::: On Ground Weaponry: the last number of all ground weaponry is the cost to maintain that weapon. So say I have a speeder bike. It has 1 LCP (Laser Chain Projector) which takes 2 credits to maintain. Because the speeder bike has only 1 LCP, it costs 2 credits to maintain each turn.
LIGHT FLEET WEAPONRY
::::: .25 credit per light weapon (25 cents = .25 * number of light weaponry) :::::
: Light Beam
::: Standard anti-ship weapons.
: 1x Missile Rack
::: One barrel for missiles. (can hold more than one missile)
MEDIUM FLEET WEAPONRY
::::: 1 credit per medium weapon :::::
: Medium Beam
::: Standard anti-ship & anti-surface weapons.
: 3x Missile Racks
::: Three barrels for missiles. (can hold more than three missiles)
: 2x Medium Bomb Compartments
::: Store up to 2 bombs.
: 1x Torpedo Racks
::: Stores 1 torpedo.
LARGE FLEET WEAPONRY
::::: 2 credits per large weapon :::::
: Disruptor
::: Can destroy 2 vessels with size under 15 light weapon, may only be used once in battle
: Large Beam
::: Standard anti-ship & anti-surface weapons that fire extremely fast and are powerful.
: 6x Missile Racks
::: Six barrels for missiles. (can hold more than six missiles)
: 5x Bomb Compartments
::: Store up to 5 bombs.
: 3x Torpedo Racks
::: Stores up to 3 torpedoes.
:::: TYPES OF PROJECTILES (Beams, Missiles, Bombs, Torpedoes) :::::
: BEAM - Standard anti-ship weapons. Can be light, medium or heavy. Example: laser
: MISSILE - High speed, low payload anti-ship and anti-surface weapons.
: BOMBS - Guided munitions released by bombers over a target or capital ships in orbit. Perfect for destroying ground targets.
: TORPEDOES - Slow, heavy war-headed munitions designed to cripple and destroy capital ships. Ideal way to use is to have heavy assault starfighters release in close to the target...
Credit goes to General_BT for supplying us with a great balance for weapons.

:: 3 credits
::::: Heavy Ground Missile Rack (HG-MR) :::::
: Has a medium speed at loading and powerful missiles.

:: None
::: 8 credits

You should not have every type of unit at the beginning of the game. The purpose of the game is to build and conquer!
<h2>Economics</h2>
Your beginning systems are worth 100 credits. (you begin with 400 credits)
Each additional system you capture is worth 50 credits.
Each empire has the same type of money: the credit. It is your standard use to buy troops, maintain them, and become an economical empire. Each turn, you will have to pay maintenance for your troops. Note that when you create your beginning force, the highest maintenance you can get to is 200 credits. Then as you conquer systems, you can build more troops. The military budget is at all times 50% of your creditial account.
The remaining amount of money can go into developing your empire by building factories, homes, production civilian vehicles, and other things your imagination can come up with, that is within realism.
The purpose of this new type of forum is for people to have fun. It brings sci-fi alive with some of Star Wars and other parts of my imagination.
