Well, I am surprised you guys didn't do the R&D exchange of info that usually kicks off a series of fleet battles.
I could rp 18 Death Stars following my fleet and if it's never contested or questioned and you simply sit there and record the damage they inflict in a fleet rp, you've pretty much confirmed their existence in roleplay.
What gives guys?

[img]http://www.therebelfaction.com/forums/images/smilies/prpl/ohwell.gif[/img] I am not saying you didn't. I am saying, if not currently approved, it isn't in the war (for anyone).
Thanks, Kraken. The GC should provide the R&D roleplays for those techs. You do have a right to request them before hostilities so you know what can be used and what can't (as always).
However, this is only an issue if these techs are used in a fleet thread. Otherwise, they are just storyline vehicles that just happen to also be R&D submissions (which is only 1/2 of the R&D process).

Here you go Marth. These techs have either never been approved, or else have no links pointing to a 500-word demo thread.

Depends on which you mean Om, my Daemun Hyperdrive was approved, the Quantum was not.... AND as you can see if you read the thread, I posted seeking approval as soon as I saw it hadnt been...
#19 9:21pm 26/01/06
Heir: I didn't do a search. I just noticed your super duper engine that can move ships through suns or whatever.. was not approved. Which would mean it is not in use.
So if GC has any fleet R&D that is similarly unapproved, then they would not be using those either. Note: I do not know whether or not GC does have fleet R&D's unapproved, I was just going by what Kraken mentioned.

As for scrapping an R&D, under the old rules, I do not see the virtue of scrapping an R&D if you are keeping the ship. If you keep the ship, then your R&D is still on the board.
But now, since we no longer keep an account of builds, if there is no R&D for the ship, there is no ship.
However, there is also no cap. So resubmit it and put forth a 500 word rp.
#18 8:01pm 26/01/06
erm, I... well how do I say this...
I scraped it due to the R&D limit of the time, I didnt mean I was scraping the ships in existance. I dont know if it would count that way, or if I could just keep it as is.
Om or Kas?
#17 7:51pm 26/01/06
Raktus scrapped the Dread.

Plus while it did get two approvals there were some questions being raised by other staff members (Titus) about the ship that weren't really answered.
[url]http://www.therebelfaction.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2342[/url]
So wouldn't that make it illegal for use against another faction?
#16 7:43pm 26/01/06
We haven't used the gods to attack any assets that I know of, only as RP tools for Regrad having visions of them and stuff. So I don't think we've broken any rules on that front. Unless people are talking about some other R&D.
#15 7:00pm 26/01/06
Link me, I dont know of any of my techs being unapproved, but if you point it out to me Ill summarily hop right on to figuring out why and resolving it.
Dont know what the second part of your message is about though...
#14 6:48pm 26/01/06
No. BDE also has a tech that has not been approved and I believe he is not using it. Why should he get penalized and GC not?
It is up to the designers to continue to lobby to have their R&D's approved under the old system based on technical merits.
I will say this only once: Do not give me any bs about something being talked about over AIM. AIM convos are between two roleplayers and will never involve a staff decision. If you want a staffer's opinion, he can give it over AIM but it [u]does not[/u] constitute a "staff decision" if it is not on the board.

Talk to Kas.
#12 1:13am 26/01/06
Then that would be a problem.
#11 12:43am 26/01/06
I'm just curious Kraken if you could mention any of those R&Ds.
Having just read the thread they were never approved with a big APPROVED stamp but they were still approved and what's to worry? They aren't superstrong or anything.
