With current activity levels and the fact that just about all of the regulars already have systems, I don't think it'll be a hard race to win.

[White_Knight_Balvear]

I have to scan a system for 5 days IC to lay claim, right?

[S4iteK]

Umm...sure?

EDIT: It's 5 posts over several days/weeks IC

[White_Knight_Balvear]

Well, I can't find that index about colonization, and how many days it takes, anywhere. I also can't find an index to tell me how many credits I would get back if I sold my ship.

[S4iteK]

The rules for claiming a system are in the QuadComm mission roster at top of the list, and the stuff about reselling your ship is in upgrades and parts section.

[White_Knight_Balvear]

Thanks skipper! biggrin

[Dythnix]

I'm baaaack!
....
And no one's on....
I see how it is.... lol
But I want opinions real quick. Should I get a phaser turret to defend my colony? Or should I save up for a defence station?
I'm getting a stationary defence because my current defence is a 22nd century class bird-of-prey, and I think it would be put to better use in missions with me...
Or, I could start temporarily hiring people to defend the colony.... Hmm....
Opinions?

[White_Knight_Balvear]

How far out is your colony?
How much would be the going fee?
And the station would be a better idea as it has much better stats. Your turret will get blown away by strong invaders.

[Dythnix]

My colony is in the Antilion system, sector-F I believe. It's kinda out of the way of most current guild traffic, and I don't expect much in the ways of invaders, I have to leave it some defennding assets though, if only as a precaution.
If I was to hire, I can say I can't pay out very much just yet at a time... it would be probably poorly paying until I get another colony vessel...
But currently I gain 3200 credits a week for colonists, going up by 200 every other week. I could probably pay that out, but that's nothing compared to the even simpler patrol missions. I might as well scratch off that option for right now...
And I know that a turret is weak and would easily lose a large engagement, but note I don't expect any trouble anyways, i'm just too far away lol.

[White_Knight_Balvear]

Buy 4 pulse phasers and you'll be set for life. A sensor array would be agreeable too as it would increase sensor and weapon range. If you were paying higher then my current employer I would definitely defend your "air space", but its all percentage so, all I would need is a second ship or, a Miranda class and I would easily make 5000 credits. That would be every 5 days though.

[Ryugi Kazamaru]

Well, things aren't exactly "heated" at the moment, so I wouldn't try to buy alot of defenders when they may not be needed. Now, if people start attacking systems, then yeah, I might, but for now, I'd invest in your system.

[Dythnix]

Yeah I know if I left the system sitting there all alone, no one would care...
But it's a precautionary measure, nothing more...
Also I should seeing as i've been trying to purchase based more on how I would really act in-character rather than in OOC logic.

[Ryugi Kazamaru]

Well, significant threats haven't made themselves known IC either, so I'd feel pretty secure for the time being. Especially since you're Klingon. xd

[White_Knight_Balvear]

Well, besides the fact that the Federation and Klingon Empire are allies, I would tend to think that we'd send aid immediately. After all, we're "Honorable". (Wulf 359.)

[Antique Queen]

I'm still trying to work on my character.

But I'm having writers block... >w<
