I would've blogged this but S3 don't let me.

I will start some ground rules for the new RP system.

1.) Tech should be limited by the quantity.

As in, we limit the number of tech a navy researches by the number of people in there navy. Any navy with 7+ members divide by active members. That is the number for of tech you research EFFICIENTLY. (I will get back to this). Any navy with <7 people can research that tech efficiently.

Onto Efficiency, this should be based by the number of ships you churn out a week. AF, for example pours out so much ships per week. So the time for researching, say, energy bombs would be heavily reduced compared to other navies UNLESS...

That navy has already done research in energy bombs. If you have done research in this branch, then you should also be reduced in tech research time. This should be based by halves: you research a tech FULL time. Then, take half off the next time. Then, take a quarter off, then an eighth, then so on and etc.

2.) Battles should be based on in game stats + tech....

in game stats>tech. For example, if I were to battle the Epimetheus with my Bruton, he would most likely win: he has 2.5 mil GJ while I only have 1.5 mil GJ. And, coming from HYDRAXIS, he most likely has OP lasers. Bruton would have cluster missiles and HE shots (and soon to have Ion cannons. Wink wink). However, that is only a 1v1....

Fleet battles are much harder because of tactics. For example, let's have that Epimetheus battle 2 Brutons and a Democracy fire. First, I would post a tactic. In this case, I will say the 2 Brutons get on each side and pound there while the D-fire hails down D-day shells on the middle. Now, mace would have to post about getting hammered from all sides plus his tech and my tech. Then, he could warp in a fleet but for simplicity sake, let's not discuss that. He would have to consider the cluster MCMs, HE shots, D-day shells hailing the front, the fire distribution, the armor remaining, etc. Looking at this, my "fleet" would've destroyed or severely weakened the Epimetheus, yet taken substantial losses. And this post was only a 3v1. Imagine the hundreds if AF, UAC, Delusion, Israel and PCAV were to go to war.

So. A massive wall post made on an S3, and soon to be more.

I hope we are all ready.
