Slagheap Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Okay, so some time soon 2122 or 2123 the whole Colony/ Coalition thin has to come to a head. Bruce has already hinted at the Civil War on the Ark will balance out a bit more after 418, and it sounds like China is slowly winning Khantze Lu Ge.So, how will this all play out?The way I figure it the two forces will get their acts together and attack Sol full on at roughly the same time. The combined forces of Earth along with the Qin and maybe the Chromatics (perhaps a couple of Edenites too, at least after Colony shows up) will align to fight them. After that the battle to end all battles follows the gathering of all these forces. In the end we fight to a stand still, the Ark breaks apart at the end, and Colony it/his/her self is killed. After that the Earth is relatively safe and the soloar system is chalked full of random pockets of Coaliton forces, Colony forces and maybe even some rogue (rouge? heh heh) Chromatics.I also figure a couple of the Proxies will finally buy the farm in the fight. Bue would probably finally die for good, Larsen might die (unless Del Fuego protects her or talks her into living at the last minute), and maybe the Old Man would kick it some how (I mean, why the Hell not, he just sits on his ass all the time anyway).This leaves is with plenty of room to move with the story, and lots of aliens to play with. What do you think? Agree? Disagree? Have a different ideas?-Slag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Although I'm all for a fight with the Colony (if for no other reason than for it to be revealed as Calliope;-) ), The Coalition wouldn't last past the first round. Give me a teleporter with Warp 5 and a WEAR, access to the Ark's engines, and say "Good-bye!"(At a 1.28 km radius SPHERE that's going to take out a lot of engine....And that assumes Atwan herself doesn't get involved...)Either that or pair of Quantum Inferno cannons...;-)The Coalition, however, now has reason to be nervous....With our impending alliance with Eden, the Earth could actually challenge it....Just where is the question....FR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slagheap Posted February 24, 2003 Author Share Posted February 24, 2003 I'm not so sure that the Coaliton would be such a push over. They've already shown that they have technology that can nullify Psi powers. Who is to say that between the Alien Encounters encounter, and the big battle they haven't expanded upon that? They built the original tech pretty fast.And besides that, even without engines they could still do a lot of damage in system,-Slag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Also, keep in mind that their fighters do a lot of damage and are hard to nail...Also, the furies would even things up a bit more...Not to mention that the engines would throw off their own taint signature...However, if you could get them soon enough in system, and slow them down, the fighters become virtually useless. Also, the only real defenders are the spinals; with a norca emitting the right pheromones, you become invisible to them. With almost no automated defenses (no need, no defenses), a small yet large enough party could get the warper to the engines and do the deed....(Of course, in our campaign, we know that The Coalition will not be building anything for a while....;-) )FR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayre el KaBeer Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Prior to reading the stat's for the earth destroyers and carriers i was worried about the coalition... Now i welcome them to try take Sol system. ::biggrin ,,::withstupid Am I cocky or what??? ::blink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat82 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Why warp things out???I mean, China have enough fussion bombs to take out earth (they had atleast).Teleport one in and blow it up. Oh, It didnt do enough damage?? Teleport in a hundred and say that again. What, they can nullify Psi powers, well, we got Novas, they can teleport things too (They can at least warp, thats a certain).So, I dont think that the fight will be that hard on the human forces.

chloe Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 So, I dont think that the fight will be that hard on the human forces.Shame that really eh? Not much of a climax if it's over so easy. How dull would ID4 (heh! How sad am I?) have been if Will Smith and that dude from 'The Fly' had just teleported in?I'm refusing to vote earth unless there's some real heroics involved and I get to take part! The part of a busty space princess if it goes the way it usually does... ::tongue Chloe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorHFrost KSC Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 i'm gonna take a wild guess though and assume that the ark isn't macintosh or windows compatable. ::sly jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat82 Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Dont worry Chloe, the Upeo will probably high tail out of here like they did the last time things got rough (No, there is no gigantic space station falling down on us, My name Is Atwan, im so strong that I could probably feel the space station so I KNOW that it is not falling down, NO I SAID THAT THERE IS NOT GIGANTIC SPACE STATION FALLING DOWN ON EUROPE). And, well, As usual the Great Novas of Eden whos leader is Divis Ma, I mean Apollo, sorry, will go insane and try to kill us. So, there will be pleanty of time for Hope, Sacrifice and unity. Just dont try anything heroic, that stuff will get you killd. This rambling of mine is only meant to amuse, not to be taken seriously Enjoy.

Finbar Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 No offense, madcat, really, but er, um, if you other orders promise to play nice and not try to corral us like you did last time....Besides, why should we worry about some little ol' spaceship? Send enough Legionaires and the density will cause a black hole.... ::sly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEstr Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 I mean, China have enough fussion bombs to take out earth (they had atleast).,,Well....thats what the history books say....I wouldn't be surprised if Project Rewrite completely made that up....I think there were other reasons for the Abbies leaving....as to the Coalition. Personally I never liked that subplot since the line is finished ::angry I've decided to "rewrite" some of that to make the Coalition a little more nasty....hehe just my need to up the ante a little.....

Slagheap Posted February 28, 2003 Author Share Posted February 28, 2003 Rewrite did NOT totally change history. YES China did threaten to nuke the world, and no Aeon did not make that up.On another note, how are you planning on making the Coaliton nastier, they're already pretty bad.-Slag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slagheap Posted February 28, 2003 Author Share Posted February 28, 2003 Barring comment on the relative ease or lack there of concerning the Coalition, does anyone have a rendition of the final battle they'd like to offer?-Slag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slagheap Posted February 28, 2003 Author Share Posted February 28, 2003 PS: sorry if that earlier post about rewrite coame off a bit harsh, sometimes I speak without enough filter when frustrated, and I'm sorry if I offended anyone.-Slag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEstr Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 Uhhhmmm...that wasn't harsh....geez, don't worry so much!!! ::smiley10 Anyhow, nasty maybe wasn't the right word...I am changing them...I never liked them as a race and I felt the whole abberant alien crossbreed thing was not to my taste.....that just me of course....And actually I don't think there is anything in the book that says yea or nay to the whole chinese thing, there are just little hints.....I simply said I wouldn't be suprised...and I do believe that there were other reasons for the abberants leaving....even if China did threaten to "nuke" the world. Now in my opinion it is more interesting if is was totally made up....and for my purposes it works better, allthough I like both versions. No reason to get frustrated I'm making a personal statement here not a factual one....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-dev Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Ok let's think about this. There is threat big enough to unite the entire planet Earth in defense. That means no more backstabbing or plotting against each till it is over. Plus if the Earth has the Qin & the Edenites baking her, well I would say that the colony & the Coalition is in for a Big Suprise.OH & lets not leave out Nippon's nova population either.Hell we can all think of really nastijng stuff to do but imagine what the best minds of the 22nd century can think of, not to mentions the Mega-Intelligents. Consider one Mega-Intelligent with the tactical mental prodigy enhancement gets 3 auto-success to plain any tactical action. Think what 5 or 10 can do.I don't people realize the enormity of what it means to have all the nations of the world, Aeon Trinity, all the Psi Orders, the novas of Eden & Nippon, as well as, the Qin focus on one enemy.Now don't get wrong the invaders are going to hurt Earth, but we would WIN."Let them come" Theodin King: The Two Towers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slagheap Posted March 3, 2003 Author Share Posted March 3, 2003 I'm not dissing the combined might of humanity and her allies, but it takes more than military might and a good plan to win a war. We'll be fighting a battle with multiple opponents on multiple fronts. And, these enemeies are willing to cause massive damage to civilian and non combat targets. This is all on top of the fact that most of them will fight with no worry about self peservation, they will fight soully for their faction.Might or not, we have alot of will and drive to deal with and that can go a long way.-Slag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
