Hey guys. Welcome to a new forum game based on the XBox One game known as Elite: Dangerous.

You start out piloting a small starship in a massive world.



You can choose any of these classes of ships in the game:

*Eagle - Shield level 1. Very fast, very agile, but hull, shields and weapons are very weak. Can equip 2 small hardpoints (weapons). Available from the start.

*Sidewinder - Shield level 2. Basic, all-around ship. Can equip 2 medium hardpoints. Available from the start.

*Viper - Shield level 2. Like the Sidewinder, but can equip 4 medium hardpoints. Cost: $50000

*Vulture - Shield level 3. Very agile ship and very powerful, but not too fast. Can equip 2 medium hardpoints. Cost: $100000

*Type 9 - Shield level 4. Hard to kill, but not very fast or agile. Can equip 2 large hardpoints. Cost: $150000

*Python - Shield level 4. A very difficult kill. But it doesn't have better agility than the Type 9. Can equip 3 large hardpoints. Cost: $250000

*Anaconda - Shield level 5. The hardest to kill and the deadliest, but the slowest and least agile. Can equip 2 large hardpoints and 1 huge hardpoint. Cost: $500000



You can choose any of these hardpoints for your ships.

*Pulse laser - Effective at taking down shields.

*Beam laser - Much weaker than the Pulse laser, but does constant damage.

*Multi-cannon - Rips apart the hull. Shields? Not so much.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">*Rockets - Very slow reload time and limited ammunition, but huge damage to the hull.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;">At any point, you can enter Frame Shift Drive. This is a state where you cannot attack, but travel VERY fast. This is useful for getting around the star systems. Entering Frame Shift Drive costs 1 unit of fuel, out of 10. Fuel can be restored through entering stations.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Interdiction will be accessible in Part 2, when an Imperial controlled system is discovered. Users who join will be set to Federation automatically this round, or can choose to be Imperial or Federation by Part 2.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Combatants will be forced into an "arena" in empty space. You can attack each other until one of you gets destroyed or escapes. Weapons do varying amounts of damage.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">*SMALL weapons do 30% of the normal damage.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">*MEDIUM weapons do 70% of the normal damage.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">*LARGE weapons do 100% of the normal damage.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">*HUGE weapons do 125% of the normal damage.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">*PULSE LASERS do 25 damage to shields, but reduce the hull's integrity by 10%. Sizes: S, M, L

<p style="font-weight:normal;">*BEAM LASERS do 7.5 damage per second to shields and 2.5% damage to the hull, for a maximum of 5 seconds. Keeping it locked onto a ship gives you more time to deal damage. Sizes: S,M,L

<p style="font-weight:normal;">*MULTI-CANNONS deal 5% damage to the hull for a maximum of 4 seconds, but do 0.5 damage to shields. Sizes: M, L, H

<p style="font-weight:normal;">*ROCKETS deal 50% damage to the hull if they hit, but have a 50% chance of missing and do only 5 damage to shields. Sizes: L, H

<p style="font-weight:normal;">*Shield level determines how much shields can take before dropping, starting at 25 and adding 25 for each additional level.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">*Ranks get a +2.5 attack bonus for every weapon against the shields or hull of a non-Commander (player) ship.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;">NEW SYSTEM DISCOVERED: Eravate

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Your homeworld. You start your mission in Cleve Hub, and can travel to one other system so far. You can establish trade routes to other systems in the future.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">NEW OBJECTIVE: Imperial Attackers

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Imperial Eagles have entered the system, intending to attack and turn Eravate over to the Imperials! All Federation fighters are ordered to attack, and YOU, one of the top Federation commanders, need to fight back to help the system!

<p style="font-weight:normal;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Part 1 BEGINS NOW!
