"Unknown probes detected..destroying. The Concordia's missile tubes slowly roll open, disgorging 32 missiles heading for the Thanix'sprobes. One probe would be left alone, and hacked.

FTL dropout in 3...2...1... With a bright flash of blue light and a thunderous amount of electromagnetic radation, the Concordia drops out of warp only 100 kilometers from the Red Winter, in all her shiny glory. "Hailing Red Winter, i repeat, hailing Red Winter.

Hegemony Naval Base Asteroid 951A ...Whirring of machinery...sound of bubbling...breathlessness... The asteroid base was dark, the usual buzz of construction and workers gone. Utterly silent, inside of the base lies a powerful, massive construct. The HSV Concordia. A new battle-cruiser to replace the aging Bulkhead-class warships, which Foe Hammer was one of. A dull flicker appears on the bridge, a holopad lighting up. >://AI.DOMINIKA.C1 ONLINE. >://SYSTEMS TEST... >://MEMORY BANKS: ONLINE >://NEURAL NETWORK: ONLINE >://PRIMARY POWER SUPPLY ONLINE >://AI.DOMINIKA.C1 READY >://ACTIVATING. ...A bright light... ...Enlightenment... The Concordia undocks from inside the asteroid with loud CLANGs of clamps leaving it's gleaming white and blue surface, the roar of air escaping as it swiftly leaves the hangar..setting course for the nearest warp-gate for orders. ANV-HSV-BC001 Concordia L/W/H 250m/72m/81m ENGINES 8 Plasma-turbine engines supplied by Deuterium-Tritium Fusion reactors located on four wings at the rear of the ship. Quad in-system Ion drives capable of full burn for eight years with full bunkerage; applicable to fusion engines also. FTL DRIVES Standard Hegemony mass-canceling fields in addition to a Alcubierre drive, capable of a 125x SoL rating. REACTORS One experimental singularity reactor. Anti-matter backup reactors x8. SHIELDING/ARMOR Four meter thick titanium alloy armor combined with advanced ablative laminate. Shielding is experimental solid-state energy barrier capable of withstanding 1.2 million gigajoules of punishment. Ship is able to fire while shields are up. CREW QUARTERS 64 Enlisted bunks Four officer bunks Full medical bay Full Engineering Bay Full Mess hall Dual observation decks along with Flag Bridge. HANGARS Four hangars carrying Shrike Fighter-bombers. Two to a hangar. ARMAMENT Ship is armed with 12 180 degree tracking rapid-fire plasma cannons capable of firing 100 projectiles every ten minutes. Ship is also armed with 2 heavy railguns firing a 6 tonne slug at 15% of light. Ship is armed with 30 smaller mounts, including 10 homing missile turrets, 8 point-defense lasers, and the rest are rapid-fire Muon cannons. Armament is also bolstered by four high-powered long-range anti-proton cannons, dual spinally mounted rail-guns firing a hyper-dense anti-matter crystal at 75% the speed of light, and 32 missile launchers, along with 8 torpedo launchers capable of firing ballistic, nuclear, anti-matter, and high explosive. Normal stores are at 100B/145N/50AM/250HE Ship carries 1,000 missiles.

Right, i'm going to go out and say you're a troll who is wasting the time of the admins with dealing with you because you're some form of manchild who wants attention. If you bothered to actually read the lore and rules, you'd know that's a Tarjaran. Right, no. That's not how things work here. See, that's called powergaming and metagaming. That is not roleplay. What you did wasn't roleplay. What you do is not roleplay. Go back to /TG/ or whatever hole you climbed out of. You quite obviously are ignoring the words, in all capital letters, no less, at the top of the damn screen, that say HEAVY ROLEPLAY. Of course, you most likely don't care. Please. Go back to under whatever bridge you crawled out from under.

((In-character logic here, mate.))

--GENERAL NOTICE-- BOUNTY: 1,000,000 CREDITS DEAD. 250,000 ALIVE. --DISMEMBERED HEAD IS TO BE POSTED ON EXONET-- --MORE CREDITS WILL BE COLLECTED IF ADDITIONAL PAYMENT IS REQUIRED-- -END GENERAL NOTICE-

Thanix's sensors instantly light up with the emissions from the explosion, a massive EM burst now heading for every ship in sector. Anything with shielding will be fine..but anything without.. The silent vessels well, stay silent. They are scrap as far as one can tell, closer examination may yield a treasure-trove of technology and parts.

Breaking news Canadian Spokesman Bill Smith proclaims that northern US border is actually Canadian land! Russian terraforming has been a massive success, gaining well over a thousand kilometers of arable land in all seasons.

Canada demands answers! Canadian spokesman Bill Smith released a statement today demanding answers about the mistreatment of Canadian prisoners in American prisons, and demanded their release! Budget cuts over education and welfare are causing civil unrest in the United States!

There is nothing left but a cloud of radioactive debris and various pieces of diaspora, no life pods, nothing. Perhaps, you should check out that collection of dead ships that jumped in.

(rapid expansion of liquid oxygen.) Tensions between the United States and Canada mount, some mutterings of war are heard. Proper implementation of safety laws in the UK has prevented a catastrophe at a nuclear power-plant.

(Yup!)

Budget issues and disappointment over a large standing military causes the Russian Ruble to drop sharply, causing a -25% penalty to the Russian Federation's budget. A LO2 explosion has set back research on Advanced Ion Drives in the UK.

Being a player here, i have seen a lot. I have had years of experience on SS13. I have seen people from all walks of life. And to be honest? I have some of the same problems VTOL has had, but if my experience proves anything, anyone can straighten up and fly right. Once upon a time i was..like VTOL, simple to say. Those times are long gone. And so, being a community member here, that is hopefully respected. I give a tentative recommendation to give VTOL another chance.

Oh, yeah! That's the guy. Yeah, i remember him, Bay-station, i think? Hypatia? Meh. Anyway, yeah, once i get the full story i might vouch.

My memory is rather fuzzy, as it's been quite a while. But did you ever play someone named Ty Foster? If so, i'l come back when you have an answer and i'l vouch for you in this- once i get the full story from all of this. If not, dis-regard.

(post your ship design.)

Due to the UK's prestigious universities and experience, they gain a +10 bonus to research. A brush-fire war has broken out in South Africa over resources.

(..lazy, i was more of meaning detailing what and why, etc, along with a action.)

The bioship battle-group lights up your sensors with thousands of contacts. Fighters, missiles, bombers... Mostly missiles. Over two thousand. Without warning, however, Foe Hammer jumps back in system..her shields up, and weapons ablaze from the moment she does. Although, she takes the full brunt of all of those missiles. Flashes of brilliant light against her shielding as anti-matter warheads detonate and damage them, nuclear missiles impacting.. And then Foe Hammer's shields fail. Beams rip into her thick armor, nukes impact against her hull, and the old girl doesn't stop. Bioship after bioship falls to the onslaught of Foe Hammer's weaponry, and there is one massive contact guarded by all the bioships. Foe Hammer turns and flares her fusion and ion drives, accelerating. You can already tell she's given it all she has. And she impacts against the massive contact, her reactors going critical shortly after. A short, wide-band message arrives. "This is captain Zephyr. We can't do much more here." "Good luck. As i say this, Foe Hammer's reactors are going critical. I am the only one left on this ship." "Take care of these people, Red Winter. You're our only ship here. I am transferring command of all Hegemony Navy elements to your IFF and transferring codes to a weapons dump." "Godspeed." The transmission cuts out as a brilliant flash of light fills your holoscreens, a extremely large explosion, anti-matter, fusion, fission all at once.. Foe Hammer is gone..but so is the bioship threat.

((Yup. Make a intro post going along the lines of "UK offically joins I.S.C.C!")

Since the forum hates me, here's the download link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hixddbmmth4ne54/ARTEMIS.zip?dl=0

I already have the installer.

(Sorry for not posting on this in a while..i assume interest is all but gone) As soon as Foe Hammer left the system, a full Terran Hegemony battlegroup warps into Tau Eta, broadcasting IFFs and seeming..lifeless. Dead. And then they are followed by several bioship battle-groups.
