Beyond Alpha Centauri::: Discussion Thread 3

[Guardian]

Just a quick post to confirm that yes, I'm still around and yes, I still intend to start posting for the Peacekeepers. I still move a little slow, but at least that's better than not moving at all, right?

By the way, you guys have made a great story so far!

I expect to get something started within another week or so.

As for Alynzia, I believe she sort of "suspended herself" - as in more or less the same thing I did. She said she still wanted to play though, so I guess she could be the next to make the "famous re-appearance number".

Both of you are welcome anytime. We have learned to make room just anywhere

Hey, it's a big galaxy.

Just thinking - when the current messups are solved, I was thinking, some couple of hundred posts from now, maybe we should apply the similar device known in CC - that is, the time warp?

I've been thinking about that Kass. I was thinking about asking what ya'lls thinking on that was. But since you forced my had

What are ya'lls thinking on doing the time warp again? Not immediatly mind you but a little later.

I wouldn't mind.

Let's see.

2701 - 27xx - The Morganite - Inen/Terran Conflict... the current prospect shows that a larger interTerran war seems nearly inevitable, especially with the TA's ultimate goal... but I wouldn't see that happen until after some ten years, by that time the Coalition transition to Police State would be nearly finished, creating the much-talked about spark between EC and TA.

Then, there could be another timewarp, and the battle against the Progenitors - maybe some thirty years from now...? Maybe attracted by the internal Terran war that has put them in a state of confusion and weakness?

Then the Borg-like superimmense threat, after the next timewarp...

LMP probably will want to have some say in this.

[Kassiopeia]

Strange.

I must of made a lifelong foe out of the Apolyton server, as it is not only showing that posters are posting things I have myself posted - it also does not want to show at the forum index that I have posted at all.

[History Guy]

OK, Franky, we forgive you know, but next time your spiffed, just take a break at doing just about anything, OK?

Looking forward to your post today!

Glad to see it, Guardian! Hope you do get your posts up soon!

The Borgs, Kassiopeia? What are they doing in BAC!?

No more Star Trek please!

Let's try Doctor Who for starters...Daleks invading Terra, Cybermen popping Tremaine on the skull...just imagine it!

Kass-- Morgan/InEn war started in late 2700, and may very well end in late 2701. I think that a period of peace would just do good to the story by increasing tensions between Sparta and Hive.

Heavens, no! I was trying to convey the idea of an exceedingly superior alien threat that is bent on destroying the entire mankind, along with the Progenitors and the gang, with a figure of speech that serves as an example of a similar case in point.

[History Guy]

I jest!

Excuse me while I edit some posts...boy it's quiet in here!

[Frankychan]

Ok I'm pissed,

Sorry that I didn't post on Sunday but let me explain why...

After I posted my apology, I had to run some errands...well, when I got back on the 'net and tried to post, I couldn't even access Apolyton. It said:

CANNOT FIND SERVER...blah,blah,blah.

Am I cursed? Since I'm at school and they use a T1 connection, I can post here. Well, once again my apologies for everything and I'll post the attack today (Monday).

Sorry everyone.

[Frankychan]

Aiight,

I posted the commencement of the attack on Samnos. Hope that it is satisfactory with you all. Tell me whatcha think.

Reading the back posts---History Guy and Sprayber cooking up something for Yang???!!! Eh, it's all good. But can you do me a favor and when you guys want to involve Hive forces, can ya collaborate w/me? Please?

Anyway-I think it's Kass' turn next for the invasion on Samnos. I just focused mainly on the smaller ships and left the large ship battles for you two guys. heehee!

[Sprayber]

History Guy: The Spartans will manage to get 3 ships to Samnos. They are Corvettes designed for joint assaults on command ships. Since I will be out of town Tuesday and most of Wenesday, I'll just go ahead and let you determine their fates.


Hint, let them die hard while showing the Hive what they will have to face in the future. The ships will identify themselves to the Morganites as Spartan ships Centaur alpa, beta, and gamma. Then they will proceed to attack the Hive command ship. Won't destroy it, but should cripple it a lot.


Then Morgan should receive Kessel's proposal.


So ya'll will know, the ships will look like this. Which ironically is a corvette. Length=190meters

[Frankychan]

Grrrr! Why do the Spartans always have to ruin our fun?

Bah! I think your 'Spartan Corvettes' will make great trophies for Admiral Bippol.

History Guy-

I deliberately left out any transmission to the Morgan's, just in case you were wondering. The Hive's silent reply should be our answer.

Going to attack our command ship huh? Maybe sending in one of our Battleships was a mistake...

Anyway, can you guys tell me what you two have in mind on the attack? Like, do you want to just have me start the invasion, Kass do the middle, and History do the end...or have different viewpoints of the battle being posted up and we all decide on how things end?

[Frankychan]

Before I forget, this is what the Hive Expeditionary Fleet comprises of:

1 Battleship, 3 Battlecruisers, 20 corvettes, 20 frigates, and 10 carriers with accompanying smaller craft. That should be enough for a small start. We can afford to experiment with the enemy's forces

The smaller craft include troop transports, supply ships, and other nonspecific vessels (patrol ships for example).

The carriers don't engage the enemy fleet, instead staying back with the transports and supply ships while their payload (i.e. fighters and bombers) engage enemy fighters/bombers. However, the troop transports are cloaked, the supply ships are not....just in case you guys were wondering. The other combative ships all are de-cloaked.

[Sprayber]

One question. Does the Hive intend to try to take the colony? I thought that the TA was going to take it. In an invasion such as this, you need a lot of cooperation and communication to pull it off or the Hive and the TA will end up running into each other. Not that I would mind, but I'm just letting you guys know.

Franky, You do know that once the Hive commits themself to the attack that they are basically declaring war. Now, I would hate for the Hive to go through all that trouble and then the Terrans decide to seek peace after all is said and done Yang has thought about that right.
