During review of this last part I noticed that I had some improper tense agreements. While you read it if you can spot any verbs that I don't have in the past tense and quote them for me, that'd be great. The sentence that went, "Flankx gulped, trying to steady his emotions," is ok. Just so you can see the difference. Gulped is in the past tense, so its proper tense agreement, as the other verb are "helping out" gulped. Don't want a million quotes on words that are actually ok. Anyway

[quote who="Phalnax811" reply="12" id="2377308"] This appeal to anyone? Meh....perhaps a set of necessary objectives to progress the story line. Maybe on one giant map (200+ planets). My idea: -One map...starts small (like in SupCom)--about 10ish planets. -Once you complete the objectives the map expands to a new system with more planets and objectives. You'll still have you forces from the last mission. Now with two sys

[quote who="Volt_Cruelerz" reply="60" id="2377370"]Hmm... Well, I like the caves idea. Of course, I would think that there would be vasari women. Or at least there used to be. It is plausible that they used to exist but due to cloning have become asexual, but they would be more hive-minded if that was the case, so I still think that females exist. At the very least, it would be in the "past" cave... As for naming a judge Jarbitorik Cruelerz, no.

Maybe something like the random map generator with some cutscenes and storyline fixed into it. Idk how it would turn out, probably bad, but I'll just get it out and maybe someone can improve on it. Like you start in a certain situation, it's always different, at least there would be a list of situations and each new map would be a randomly generated one, and certain actions or style of gameplay or something would "trigger" certain things to happen. (im a fan of cutscenes depicting something,

@Volt_Cruelerz - not letting me quote ur thing. But Jarbitrok should definitely be part of the Sentinel System (if we're gonna have that as the name for the general court). Maybe the name of one of the judges? If you don't like that for the name of the whole group. And made-up words are always fun [e digicons]:andrew:[/e] how about Jarbitorik Cruelerz, pretty much the most respected and feared judge in the Sentinel System?

Besides, none of the latin equivalents of judge even come close to being Vasari-esque. Just about all of them seem like they would be names of Advent governing bodies...

I'm perfectly fine with changes, its just that I would think that while a more barbaric system fits what we would want to put them down as, reality says that they need some form of democracy.

Also, let's brainstorm ideas for the "test" the FAC or Omnipitor would have to go through. Let's try and think of a bunch of things that would work for it. Like I was thinking one of parts would be the testee would have to enter three caves. In those caves he would see things. He would see the world as it would have been if something had been decided differently in the past (pertaining to Sinners, say Flankx never killed Vorg). The testee would be thrust into this situation that would be psyc

Each one controls this fleet and are elected by the popular vote of the capital ship captains within that fleet. This ensures the support of each fleet to that member of the council. If the fleet dislikes the admiral it selected it may simply choose a new one. This ensures that they remain loyal to their leader. Think of the ro
