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.

Your tax should have been collected yesterday, so i will give you the tax, and now you will get your next one in 2 days
Tax collected! +3,300 credits! +3 XP
[you can build any building so long as you have the correct resources, and tech level. there are exceptions to this, however] Options:
Tech level 1: [Unlocked!] Small iron mine: a small mine. with no upgrades it gives 100 iron a day. Cost: 10,000 credits, OR 500 wood and 100 iron.
medium iron mine: a medium sized mine. with no upgrades it gives 500 iron a day. Cost: 25,000 credits, OR 1,250 wood, and 500 iron
Small lumber cottage: a small lumber cottage that gives 100 wood a day, with no upgrades. Cost: 10,000 credits, OR 650 wood.
small resource drilling platform: a platform that can drill anything, as long as it's the right distance, and there are determined resources underneath. Cost: 25,000 credits, OR 1,000 metal.
Small metal mine: a small resource mine build for metal. gives 150 metal a day, with no upgrades. Cost: 12,500 credits, OR 650 wood and 100 iron.
---------------UPDATE!---------------
More resources.
each resource generally goes into a group of 2-3 tech levels. for example, someone that is tech level 2 will use wood, and another from level 5 will use heavy metals.
Wood - stable, but if shot it will fall. no protection what-so-ever. it is the weakest resource, but also the cheapest around. generally wood can be found in abundance in PLANETS with primitive civilizations that have not yet learned how to make wood as a resource, or deserted planets. (your planet starts with plenty of wood on it.)
Light metals - light metals can be used for many different things. they are very sturdy, and yet light. they're costly though. with the proper skills you can mount this material on your ship for speed and armor at the same time.
reinforced wood - reinforced wood is stronger and more durable than regular wood, and is only slightly costlier. it is a reasonable price, for a cheap alternative to metal. (although metal is a little better.)
