Re: A Galaxy at War the Wargame [4 Slots Left]
[Update]The game will be starting in a short few hours, So players should get ready.
A little info on the GSC:
As I helped in designing the GSC back in the days this game's forefather began, I thought I may as well shine some light on GSC Tech and Tatics. The GSC ships are very often based around their main weapon,
The MAC Cannon. Their main battle tactics are often based on this huge weapon, Which is VERY powerful. Unlike the other races, The GSC's MACs come in many different types. There are small ones mounted on smaller ships, Large ones for larger ships, Frigates often have two, But sacrifice hanger bays for smaller
ships for this. There are also Super MACs, Which are based in orbit of important planets. The GSC also use far less shields than the others, And rely more on thick, Strong armour. They also use lasers far, FAR less, And use Auto cannons for point defence and Anti-Fighter duty. The SC also use missiles in a more offensive way, Often firing them in time with the ships MAC Cannon. Last but not least, The GSC use, Develop, Build and maintain modern Nuclear weapons, Such as HAVOC and SHIVA nukes.
Quote from ship building guide (Fixed):
MACs (Magnetic Acceleration Cannons): These weapons which come in many shapes and sizes, fire heavy metal projectiles at near-light-speed, doing massive kinetic damage upon impact that can rival class 8 weaponry. Overconfident non-GSC commanders may disregard a MAC Cannon as a threat, until his ship looks like Swiss cheese, but experienced commanders treat them carefully. MACs are typically placed on ships, But Super MAC Cannons are sometimes placed on defence platforms due to their great range and accuracy. The GSC almost exclusively use MAC Cannons, And their tactics are often based on their usage.
To make things easier for Alpha, I have made a basic ship template (With descriptions).
Outline/Pic (A picture or outline of the ship):
Class (Frigate, Destroyer etc):
Name (The name of the ship. It's needed if the ship type is going to be made many times):
Description (The ship history, Age, Purpose etc):

I was feeling bored, So I made a ship design for the GSC.
