I’m surprised that nobody has asked if they can be shot... My understanding is that an Omega Buoy/Drone is built using the AP rules, with the best version of DEEP installed and tuned to run at the slowest speed/longest range setting. As such, if it is a drone, it's detectable via Scan range with an...

That is VERY awesome, sir! I love the effects.

Briefing Room 2 deWulf Naval High Command, 89th Floor City of Lowell, Fenris deWulf Corporate Democracy “I still don’t think we should be funding research anywhere near as much as we are. We need more hulls.” PackMaster Hella Kobetsky looked over at her two colleagues, a cold and furrowed look on he...

I think we can both agree that warships will auto-launch omega buoys and/or drones. But let me ask you this question: should civilian ships auto-launch their omega buoys? What about armed CFN units? What about imperial freighters (military-owned freighters, like colliers or supply column freighters...

Never too late to join the party!

I'm kind of torn, partially because I -like- getting random bits of specific intel that might not be immediately (or ever!) useful. For myself, that represents a far better concept of the classic kind of intelligence operation that takes place, where you find out random bits of detail from notes, in...

Remember that drives are not a black-box system. Like Q or Y or AC, the drive code (I, Ic, J, etc.) represents only a portion of the complete “system” that stretches through the ship. Drives, for example, cover the power generation, DF projection, propulsion, steering, inertial dampening, structura...

Xveers Sheets: Hmm, very interesting -- and complex. Thanks! It's the final product of a LOT of iterative construction and building. They first started off as excel versions of the 4th Edition empire management documents from way back when. 3). We may need to "hide" and lock some sheets t...

Heylo Marvin! Pretty sure the spreadsheet Lomn and myself made has a bunch of generation systems for making NPRs. It's definitely not a full turn-key setup, but it's probably halfway there at the least. Please send that to Matt, and he will forward it on to me. We might make something like this ava...

Yeah, the Drolians are the only other guys I know about who are mentioned in the Khanate's backstory. The original Nexus article had them covered up to about ISW1 or so's history for them as a kind of epilogue. I remember updating the rules and whatnot to match up with things for ULTRA, and I added ...
