Ok, guys. There was a legit reason for the traffic. Everything has been cleared up and hopefully things are back on track. The thread was just a forum for commumication. If you notice they have been edited.
Sovereign: Go ahead and send my your text and I'll get them up. But first, I will put History Guy's stuff up. Sorry it's taken so long history.
Mr. President: Just give me you stuff, cause I know Franky has some class issues to take care of. 
Franky: Thanks for the offer. I may take you up on it soon, but first concentrate on your class work. Unless ya want to write for BAC for a living.

Sorry I missed out on the craziness! I've got a couple of poems lying around somewhere as well.
OK, Mr. Sprayber, the stuff is in the pipeline. If you don't get it by Sunday, avenge my death.

What the heck is going on here? I come to check up here and I see all this cryptic posts by Sprayber and Kass.
Nah, its all good. Ok, here we go...
Sprayber-No problem, whatever you need help on I'll try and do my best as soon as I'm finished w/my stinky classes.
What does the Hive export besides so-called "Yang propaganda", you say? How dare you accuse the benevolent Emperor of propaganda! Why, he just tells the truth! 
Seriously though- I'm not too sure. I was thinking the GHE was self-sufficient without any need to have "outside" stuff, but since Mr. President wants to have trade with us....I have to think about it. I don't want other people running around with Hive tech so I might have to think of something.

Kass-Thanks dude, I think I'm gonna need it! Swedish exam, huh? sounds difficult.
Mr. President-I'll get back to you on Hive exports. Why does Firaxis want Hive stuff anyway?  Could they be in league with the despotic Lord Ian???

Oh, one last thing,
Someone should talk to Centauri18 with the Mars stuff. Since I have no idea what to say, someone else should do it.
Hopefully Mars will see the potential rewards of allying with the Hive.

I have PMed the some info to Centauri, yet i still haven't received any reply. I also already posted stuff here in the discussion thread. If he still has questions, I am waiting for them.
I also got around to post the Novans latest actions... writing is dull, but oh well.
Sovereign... points i forgot concernign techs:
Cloak already involves manipulating light, not exactly a Quantum thing.
Plasma Shard Buckshot, as far as I know, is no different to a normal Plasma Cannon....which practicly all of the factions have the tech for and mainly useful in heavy cap to cap slug fest.

Frank, if Mars Combine is part of the Terran Alliance who is against having any relations with the Hive and that Mars Combine is more of a good guy and individualistic then Earth Coalition, what makes you think they like the Hive? 
They may be socialists and operate a Planned Economy, but doesn't mean they are like the Soviets who Totalaritans Facists disguised as Communists. Think of the Free Drones in SMAX when you think of Mars Combine.

Ahh well, the Quantum Cloaking I had in mind would be much more effective. Light will be forced through the ship, rather than being deflected off it. Also, it will provide good hiding from standard sensors, since they cannot search or detect Quantum signatures very well other than FTL travel. In other words, Quantum Cloaking will hide the ship's Quantum Signature, as well as more efficient means of diverting light itself.
As for Plasma Shard Buckshot, I believe Plasma Shards is level 13 weaponary, while Tachyon Beams are level 12 weaponary in the SMAC game.

Guys,
I've been doing a lot of serious thinking lately.
I was thinking about starting my own fiction thread, but using the same UCS as in the BAC thread.
I was thinking, since the UCS is out of the way of the main areas of interest, or wars....
When we have the Progenitor Invasion, I'd like to split off the UCS into a different thread.
I'm not saying I'm taking the UCS off BAC... just creating an...
Parallel Universe.
Here's what I envision.
During the Progenitor Invasion, the UCS is faced with its greatest decision.
1. Aid the Human Alliance in repelling the Progenitors.
This will be the UCS decision in the BAC story thread.
2. Keep to their corner of the Galaxy and let the rest of Humanity fight the war.
This will be my Parallel Universe, exploring the "What could have happened" stuff.
When are we planning to have the Progenitor Invasions? 2705? 2710?
I think this would make an interesting "twist" in much the same way that Star Trek does with its Mirror Universe. Something to that effect. Besides, it'll allow me to keep my creative juices flowing.
Laters,
Academician Randius Zakharov.

Mell-
Yang will MAKE them see the benefits of Hive society, if it means force-feeding them our glorious lifestyle! Hive Forces will land on Mars and butcher every last man, woman, and child....drain all the resources of the Red Planet to fuel our terror-inducing war machines of destru......*uhh*
What I meant to say is that it would be unfortunate that the gracious Mars Combine would view the Hive as a Totalitarian regime! Yang only wishes to see the people of Mars, as well as the Terran Alliance as a whole, understand that Hive nature is peace through prosperity. We Hivers are an enlightened group who only wish to see others live in perfect harmony with one another!
It would be a shame if the people of Mars possessed an anti-Hive stance! The GHE is only looking out for its ancestors in the legendary Sol System!

Franky, I notice now you're the "Prince who is 3rd in command to Emperor Yang". Did you get demoted, dude? 
But I like that attitude. "You're gonna do what's good for you, even if I have to kill you!" Remind me to use that somewhere.

There's a good reason for it sounding difficult. Luckily our teacher is, hmmm, not that keen when it comes to looking out for little notes hidden up your sleeve.
J/k, it wouldn't of been easy had I remembered to study for it.
Off to run the Cooper test (My aim is high, 1400 metres )

Well...I guess I've got a post coming now, then. The Pirates may have won this fight, but they neglected to mention the nearby fighter transport convoy, which has a lot of fighters and has not come in contact with the Pirates, and so it can't be that the algorithim has rendered them useless. I guess my next post will deal with them. What should I do, Mellian? Either I can drive off the Pirates, who will leave for Terran land, or the Pirates can hold.
BTW, on Sym, I seem to have made a monster...

Oh yes, Sym! Egads! I discussed with Franky here about what would his predicament be. Are we sticking to the plan, my dear chap?

Kass- Guess so. I give you carte blanche on whatever you decide for Mr. Sym, as long as my guy gets to the Hive, and becomes a more interesting figure!
LMP- OK, here's what I'll do. The Pirates have sent a portion of the fleet to go secure a nearby station, which they take to be unguarded. However, it is far from unguarded now, as a transport of fighters has come in, and knows of the Pirate attack, and blunts the assault. However, before a second Pirate attack can be launched, the cease-fire orders are given by the Terrans and the Morgans. How's that?

Dang, I seem to miss everyone when the conversations get going...
Kass-Sounds good. The plans for Mr. Sym should remain the same. I have an idea *CENSORED* safety of *CENSORED* Hive---until Mr. Ku (those damn Morgan's!) get him!
Mr. President-so you noticed my demotion, huh? Well....lets just say that when you're on top, you tend to attract unwanted attention. I like to sit back and watch stuff happen...then launch my coup!
Thanks for the compliment.
Well, it looks like its almost crunch time. Next week is the official start of "hell week" for me so if you see me here, it'll be somethin'!

Bah! If you ask me, it's Nwabudike Morgan who is the real despot here.
I just noticed now that if it's true in the profiles, General Tacticus is the first of us to be on Apolyton and frankychan is the last. (looking at the time zone difference). So if he's in Australia, he's the first. Since I'm in Hawaii, I'm the last.....that sucks!
Anyway, I'm just babblin. Go YANG!

Funny, the General officially lives in the same town as me and he gets on earlier. I'll blame it on my university classes.

Talking about Cloaking, what kind of technology would that require? My guess would be Photon/Wave Mechanics, or whatever it is, letting you manipulate the light to go around instead of bouncing off.

Franky, thanks
I'm really talented at getting a ****load of stuff on my back. Making up a totally illogical and inane plot to a pal's QBasic game; writing BAC; sharing the world to posters of Apolyton and redrawing the world map (Franky, Hawaii's already gone, sorry )
But... no school today!

i was under the impression that Hive cloaking technology actually did allow the object to "disappear" visually....maybe I was wrong?
