jbox1 //hostile transmission// we have been busy forging our armada... and YOU refuse the help of a powerful ally!!! you will be invaded soon... attached is a file of many ships... some are very recognizable... as your ships! https://forum.cosmoteer.net/d/2438-did-you-think-cosmo-lord-was-a-event-only-no we are ready to invade your puny area of space and increase our control over the 3rd universe... cosmolord dismissed. //transmission end//
//friendly transmission// bonjour, Apollo here, this is bad! the cosmolord is able to read our transmissions! and is already able to corrupt some of your ships!! o no this is terrible!! freak out sounds oh no!!!... well... i guess i can join you and help you with this AI. but thats... it ... i can hold it back somewhat. till you prepare. on it is a business card with a secret transmission zone and a ship design. scrap crusher, do not copy.
tri-mod, a mas producible ship, modified
moddedwarfare /transmission begin/ Did you say that they have already begun to infect ships? Ok, in our space we have currently got a hostile HIVEMIND currently in quarantine space. Luckily it seems dormant, but safest place to deposit infected things is there, because once it’s there, nobody will come to find it again. If you need a place to stay, we will provide shelter in our mothership. Have a safe trip (hopefully) /transmission end/
//transmission on secure network// bonjour. i have news... you don't seem to have weaponized ships. are you aware that you need heavy weapons to kill a enemy if one arrives... it weaponized your ships because you had few weapons.. i need the blueprints to the strongest ship you have. //transmission end// you see some of the ships the enemy have that Apollo found.
these are all the ships he has corrupted that i have seen... but he has way more
moddedwarfare Well, I am afraid you have only seen the official Scavanger fleet! And those are ONLY our trading ships! We have FAR stronger ships, ready to go. They are mostly repaired ships from other factions, but if it is battle ships you are after, we have a few relics from a time long gone. They may be dusty, but they still pack a punch!
suddenly looks at the other ships you have
Wait... uh, we have allies I guess?
jbox1 ...a hologram of the Warlord slowly raises it´s arm "...here?"
jbox1 //friendly transmission// you are very lucky that Apollo has your back or you would be in imminent danger. i will make designs for powerful ships to destroy the enemy. also i am very strong when it comes to knowledge on cosmolord. i was a scientist where it was developed. long story short it has taken control over the area and mass produced specialized ships for combat against other types of ships. i hated the idea of the cosmolord 297 AI unit. you know the old movie archives... the one about sky-net. yeah, that is what happened to us. again. AI is a bad idea. p.s i was a very young lad when this happened //transmission end// note: you will need to build the ship designs i send you. best of luck... Apollo Faure
moddedwarfare hmm... hey, want to link this story to the lost fleet?
jbox1 ...a transmission comes in from somwhere beyond, it´s the Warlord... /Transmission Start/ So I´ve got another order this time, I need... uhh.. how many drone cores do you have currently on stock? Anyways send them to these coordinates: [Scavengers only information] they´re not for the Cult. Payment comes as usual. /Transmission End/
I need 20 tons of LSD, some wires, some ion pulse rays, and a few dozen remote controls. ALSO, I WILL PAY $1,000,000,000 TO ACCESS YOUR HIVEMIND!
ehh, we’ll deliver the other stuff, but intergalactic law requires me to not be bribed into taking down quarantines...
Please don't ask why
Drakador_Chaos ok... well we’ll send a quater of our stock from the nearest depo (a total of 300 drone cores). I guess we’ll find out why once we get there
moddedwarfare ever heard of the POI (protecters of innocence?)
//friendly transmission// bonjour. i have amazing news. i found a faction who wants to protect the weak, and they don't take pay except for tips!!! they are the number and letter ship factions!!!"happy shouting" sorry got carried away there... i will make a folder to show you them... //transmission end// new folder: https://forum.cosmoteer.net/d/3184-ships-union-of-letter-and-number
jbox1 The TATC is currently starting business in this dimension so they need the cores, they might become partners of the scavengers.
jbox1 I'll double it.
jbox1 A Scavanger convoy is traveling through a system when some unknown ships warp in: The unknown faction attacks with an unfair advantage of powerful ships. Both Freighters are heavily damaged, with their stern gone.
To make you feel better, a cruiser was damaged, though I think the fires where caused from being too close to a exploding reactor. Both freighters were destroyed, and also many of the fighters, so the unknown faction warped away, leaving no warp signature, only leaving a few damaged fighters to tell the tale.
You have been ambushed by
Amazing_Goob Scavangers are now declining due to there lack of milatary power. About 5% of Scavangers are resigning after this event.
Amazing_Goob In all due respect, AHEM: modded vs unmodded, seems a little, eh, unfair, don’t you think??
SURE THING SIR!
increases “bribes taken today” counter too 56
jbox1 Now, let me just go get something....
jbox1 You see thousands of strange looking ships being escorted off of your territory by some Greenfire battleships.
jbox1 K.o.L sends 200 Dreadnoughts to help
