To make it clearer where these planets are, here's is a screenshot of the entire Pollux system. Earth is the northernmost terran planet, while Rochar is the asteroid just below it. I left certain pirate bases alone (as an improvised defensive measure) because my main fleets are held up on the dangerous battlefronts in the star systems to the north, meaning they're incapable of defending this system. Oh, and Deimos is the southwesternmost desert pla

[quote who="SSAF" reply="9" id="1965312"]Hey, i just thought of this, Rochar is a lot like Anubis from WitchFire's saints of a solar empire. They're both really powerful asteroid bases that serve as chokepoints. [/quote] Yep. There are other chokepoints in the same star system. In fact, I have an entire belt of planets dedicated to the defense of Earth, although they're further out from Rochar. I like to call them the 'First Line'.

(it's Rochar, not Ronchar) If you're talking about costs, there's no problem at all - I have an incalculably large fortune of credits, metal and crystal in the kitty. I didn't put any factories there though, to save space for the veritably ancient research labs. Nowadays, it's mainly used as a chokepoint rather than a full-blown military base. Deimos is a military base: <

Yeah, well, I was really tested at that point. There was a moment when I could have swung round with a closed fist - but I just turned round. I prefer to avoid violence because there are so many alternatives, but in this case I guess he deserves a broken nose.

I don't know the details of my entire empire off by heart, but know that I've flooded the gravity well of Rochar with defensive structures. As for logistics, I'm not sure, but Rochar may at least have a refinery.

Rochar acts as a barricade - it halts and cripples invading fleets before they reach Earth. I didn't want to put any defensive structures around Earth's gravity well because "Earth represents the policy of the USS - avoid violence unless absolutely neccessary".

I'm really just making this stuff up as it goes along, which I'm really good at. Although, I'm interested in integrating ideas from other people. If you have any ideas, just tell me and I'll see if I can put them in. To make it perfectly clear: the ship is 'deserted', in a sense; the crew members (except the missing captain) are all still there but are now eccentric and obsessive, inlcuding Vater. I'm going to explain this later in the story (I have no ideas past t
