Lol, Indeed the accounts been inactive for some time.

I have Skype, what do I do with it.

PM me your username, I'll fill you in. Might want to add Dieter too, he's an admin and a good guy.

Register yourself an account, log in, PM the name of it to blunt there, then sort it out with him. The Grand-Commie is away on army business somewhere, so you'd be best off sorting it out with him.

I'd trim the number of ranks you have if I were you - many factions are lucky to have 18 active members, never mind 18 seperate ranks. I don't think even the RM has that many.

I'm inclined to agree with Dusty Lens.

While I am not against new faction ideas or creative development, I am against introducing redundant systems. The SCRA serves Discovery's needs for a coalition faction. We don't need another one.

i will give you 1 up, it is very nicely set out and organised, but the points and ranks? you need to lower your numbers.

More history.

Detailed history.

Not propaganda filled half stories that make things seem 'epic'

A somewhat well presented layout.
The ranks need trimmed, a lot. Plus don't list them vertically like that, wastes a lot of space.
Pictures etc are a very good move and help break up what cvould be an otherwise word heavy post.

Complete lack of information though.
I'm curious as to why the Coalition would have any ships with cryo-sleep technology since they really wouldn't need it. The Alliance built their sleeper ships since they were losing and had to run away, the Coalition didn't need to run anywhere.

Plus, where was the Red Orchestra during the supernova explosion, the thing that anihilated everything except the furthest side of Pluto?

Sorry if I come off as harsh, It's just needed information really.
If this does get up and running though, you'll get a new soldier of the Coalition in your ranks:D

It lacks a solid story, I'd say. Otherwise... probably too soon for me to think up of any real comment just yet.

Also, Linkus. I did wrote up a story on how the Coalition might have come through sleeper ships of their own. Of course, it is just some obscure theory, nothing official.

which I will repost here for the x thousand time now.

The book of the Coalition

Humanity was winning its war against itself.
No, I’m not that much exaggerating… by the end of our never ending conflict, our army numbered in the billions. We were tired – everyone was, on both side. But we were confident, the war was soon over.

We, the new leaders of humanity would finally be able to govern ourselves by the plans set by the grand fathers of our grand fathers… we promised the people, equality, justice, peace. We wanted to rebuild the human civilisation to its full glory.

Victory was ahead!
But even so close to our goal, we didn’t let euphoria take over our soul. For a few more days, maybe a few more months, we had to remain the vigilant, unforgiving soldiers we were trained to be since our childhood.

I wasn’t too surprised when I received the first few reports on the Alliance colony ship projects. Desperate measures to save the ending of a conflict that has lasted too long…

It would be very hard to counter this final plan, I agreed. It was desperate, tragic, but brilliant.

Our final target was the small planetoid of Pluto, the last bastion of the Alliance. 8 great “sleeper” ships, mammoth vessels holding the remnants of a broken civilisation. We tried to destroy them through sabotage; we never knew what happened of our brave spies. There was no time, by the time our grand fleets regrouped and reached Pluto – a long, exhausting journey, the Alliance was ready to launch.

Suddenly, we became desperate as well. These… “sleeper” ships were heavily armoured. Even the best estimations made by our military strategists estimated at least half would be able to break through our hastily set blockade.

I admit, our job wasn’t as handsome as that of the Alliance. But, as always, time was a mighty enemy… In no time, two of our carriers were retrofitted with immense hyperspace technology drives and cryopods. True, the hyperdrives weren’t something we were very certain about. It was mainly a technology we’ve… learnt from our enemies. As such, I had doubts if they would work at all.

These two vessels were to track down the Alliance wherever they went to, report back to Sol, and terminate the remnants if possible. The mission sounded harsh, to completely crush, terminate an already defeated opponent… but as with vermins, if you left them alone, they would rebuild… and come back haunt you… or, your grand children. No, we couldn’t have that, for the sake of the world we wanted to build!
No more bloodshed. This had to be the war, that ended all wars.

Looking back to our origins, we christened the two mighty ships the Volgograd and the Jiangxi. Smaller than the Alliance vessels, they were however armoured and armed very decently – we believed, much better than the “sleeper” ships.

I recall…
The final days of the Alliance neared. The 8 ships launched… or rather, only 5 managed to make it. As expected, we still managed to annihilated half of the fleeing forces, effectively destroying them on the ground through heavy planetary bombardment.

I grimly saw the four sleeper ships escape our fist… now was the time for the Coalition’ hunters to enter in action, unfortunately.
We, thousands of volunteers aboard both Volgograd and Jiangxi, entered our long sleep, not knowing for how long exactly will we remain in stasis, unsure where will we land.

But we promised our motherland, a peace it deserved. We shall fight the last battle for humanity.

The trail of ionised fuel we were following suddenly dimmed, then nearly disappeared. It was the reason for which our board computers woke us up.
Fully two decades after the remnants of the Alliance established themselves down on Sirius. No, we had no chance of winning a quick battle anymore. We weren’t even sure where were they established precisely. We didn’t have the capacities to check every single star systems of the galactic sector. Worse, we didn’t know the way back home.

It didn’t took us long to discover an exceptionally fertile solar system where we could establish. Two habitable planets were quickly found and colonised by each ships. We established down on Sirius, and attempted to initiate a link with Sol.

The link never managed to find Sol. According to it, Sol system didn’t existed anymore.

In secrecy, we’ve grown. We became stronger, we became powerful. But we haven’t forgotten the ideals of our forefathers.

And there is my concept for the two Coalition sleeper ship.
