there is a story, but the story depends on what you do in the game, and the choices you make.
that is why there is no story right now, until you make this decision:
which class do you choose:
Human
Alien
Independent
Robot
now all of these will be explained here:
Human - As a human, you will be a part of the alliance of worlds controlled by the humans, and their allies. you will be of the human species.
---Pros and cons of joining: Pros: -In an alliance, so people can help you out. -Outposts in secured systems so that if you die, search and rescue will recover you and send you to the nearest outpost or base. -Can join squads, with other players, and with players made by me. -Receive regular amount of starting resources, no more, no less. Cons: -Have a shoot-on-sight enemy, which are the aliens. -Start off with a small, old, and rusty ship
Alien - As an alien, you will be part of the alliance of worlds that have joined the Alien alliance treaty and all the worlds controlled by the aliens.
---Pros and Cons of joining: Pros: -In an alliance, so people can help you out. -Outposts in secured systems so that if you die, search and rescue will recover you and send you to the nearest outpost or base. -Can join squads, with other players, and with players made by me. -Receive regular amount of starting resources, no more, no less. Cons: -Have a soot-on-sight enemy, which are the humans -Start off with a small, old, battered ship.
Independent - As an independent, you will have to choose what species you will be (Human or alien), and you will be ON YOUR OWN.
---Pros and cons of joining: Pros: -Get a lot more starting resources than other classes. -Start with a relatively repaired ship, none of that old rusty and battered stuff. -No shoot-on-sight enemies to start with, so most people are neutral -Can start a wing, as long as there are enough people to start it. -Can found an alliance, as long as it has 2 worlds under it. -You have your own home world! Cons: -Not in an alliance from the start, so danger of getting shot at is higher than if you were in an alliance. -No outposts from the start, so search and rescue revive you at your home world, or at an alliance member's home world.
Robot - As a robot, you will be under the alliance of worlds that the Robots control. You will be a Robot.
---Pros and cons of joining: Pros: -Are in an alliance, so you can be helped out. -Can join squads, with other players, and with players made by me. -Receive slightly more than the regular amount of starting resources. -with the right programming and engineering, robots can do almost anything. -are way more resistant to damage than other classes.(better armor on ship) Cons: -No outposts from the start, so search and rescue revive you at your home world, or at any other world of the alliances control.
Ship classes: ship classes are the names of the ships, and their upgrades. for example:
Viper MK 1 is the starting ship for a human campaign, but repaired.
Viper MK 1.5 is the upgraded version.
Squads
What's a squad?
a squad is a smaller version of an alliance, in which a group of ships would work together to demolish a bigger ship, or do something together.
how do you form a squad?
just say so. one at a time, please. you can only be in one squad at a time.
you can invite other players to join, too.
Squad ranks: (highest on the top) ***general leader admin member
What's the difference?
the higher, the more privileged.

You start toward the wreck but your sensors pick up 3 energy signatures come online. Prepare for combat!
[you cannot control combat, but you can control the outcome. you can go to the shop and upgrade your ship for example. that would give you an edge in battle.]
Let me know if there is any way you would like to change combat. i would have made it like this:
you do 2 damage to unknown 1 you do 2 damage to unknown 1 you do 2 damage to unknown 1 unknown 2 does 0.5 damage to you you do 2 damage to unknown 1 you do 2 damage to unknown 1 you do 2 damage to unknown 1 you do 2 damage to unknown 1
But that is boring, and have respect for my players.
so, battles will be turn based, and you will decide what/who to attack, or if to evade the next attack. damage is calculated from weapons, upgrades, sensors, ect.

You jumped to beta pleadis. you are in the system, and your immediate sensors indicate 4 unidentified fighters here, mining the asteroids.
your sensors are not long range, so you look out the front window, and see an earth-like planet, 2 moons, and a station in orbit. you can see some other planets in the distance, but you cant see their details.
Just then you get hailed from the station:
Unknown station: hello, this is the Human alliance station 176. please identify yourself. You: Dex River, I control the planet in the next system that is closest to this one. I mean you no harm. I am just exploring. Human station 176: very well. but we can just let you barge into our territory. please dock at our station so we can identify you. Just a precaution, you understand. You: alright.
You head towards the station. you dock, and they examine you.
Human station 176 security: alright, you're free to go. we've found nothing dangerous.
You leave the station.
+3 XP!
Options: 1. dock at the station 2. Explore the system 3. attack the station 4. attack the ships 5. hail the ships 6. go to a different system 7. go down to the nearest planet

You dock at the station.
Welcome to human station 176! how may i help you?
Options: 1. Refuel.(fuel: 98) (cost: 25 credits per 1 fuel) 2. talk to leader of station. 3. lounge.(side quests) 4. leave the station. 5. hangar.(look at bought upgrades and repair your ship) 6. shop (human style)
----------UPDATE---------- Today's update: Gas!: that's right. fuel. this will be used when you jump to different systems, and you can refuel at most stations, outposts, and words that are inhabited. fuel can be upgraded, and is like a number. starting fuel tanks have 100 fuel. when it gets to 20 or less a warning will be displayed until you refuel. if there happens to be no refuel station and you are out of fuel, you can buy fuel and have it delivered via teleport. this will be costly though, so be careful!
