  • "Uncharted Waters" turn tracking thread

    This is the turn tracking thread for the SMAX PBEM "Uncharted Waters". Players in order are as follows:

    Net Warrior (Drones)
    Chaos Theory (Consciousness)
    Googlie (Pirates)
    Archaic (University)

    AI's are Sparta and Hive


    Each player will start with one CP, 2 Speeder CP's, 3 scouts, and 3 Rover Formers (note Googlie starts with aquatic versions instead)


    Premise for the game: just before the breakup of the Unity, it was reported by a young communications officer named Roze that both the Spartans and the Hive downloaded several technologies from the main onboard computer. Before Captain Garland could launch an investigation, he was assasinated, and the Unity sabotaged, stranding the remnants of the mission on the strange surface of Planet.
    Now everyone must start anew, with much trepidation, as well as many unanswered questions: for just what were the Spartans and Hive up to? Are they working together, or are they continueing their feud now on Planet's surface? This and much more the Unity survivors will have to navigate in these uncharted waters....


    Other items of interest: this game includes a new unit called a "Q Ship". Googlie had brought this concept up a few months ago whereby a cargo ship doubled as an attack vessel. The specs for the Q Ship are as follows:

    Chassis: Foil
    Transport: 3
    Armour: none
    Speed: 3
    Weapon: Psi

    Of interest about the Q Ship: its a good little self-defending pod popper, able to attack IoD's and Sealurks if encountered. However because the Q Ship only has a range of 3, why Sealurks and IoD's can disengage. Q Ships cannot bombard, and the unit cannot be modified, either.

    About the AI's: they have been given satelites in order to compensate for their lack of crawler usage. I have also gifted the Spartans the Ghost Secret Project of the Bulk Matter Transmitter (+2 Minerals every base), and the Hive gets the GSP of the Longevity Vaccine (less drones/ more profits). The AI's have also been given some other goodies as well, as alluded to above. FYI.

    First turn has been sent to Net Warrior.

    Good Luck!

        I hope you're aware that the actual effect of the Bulk Matter Transmitter is +50% minerals at all bases, rather than +2 minerals.

          ....well CT, in that case it looks like we're in for one heck of a game vs those AI opponents. It's a good thing there are only 2 of 'em.

          ...Darsnan, thanks for all your hard work in setting up our game. This looks like it's going to be a good one (I like my starting position ).

                Don't seem to have the turn in my inbox. Could I have a resend please?

                Also.....I seem to be having some problems with my SMAC/X install. Never seen an error quite like it before. Anyone know anything about this?

                  Not sure if I have your current e-mail addy, so have hung the turn here

                  I'm using %%%archaiceternal @ hotmail.com%%% (without the %%%'s of course)

                  Is this still valid?

                    Well that might explain something. Yes, that email's still valid, but I don't use it for PBEM anymore. Rarely check it either. The preferred email now is

                    archaic.mukashi AT gmail.com

                    Anyway, problem solved thanks to buster, so the turn's ready. Net Warrior, I've noticed I don't have your email. Could you email me please?
