I liked Coalition's space music, IMHO.

Quote from Michael

I think you are confusing Chuck Norris with Trent.

But hmm, since this universe (game) is in the future, I guess Trent is Chuck's offspring ?

I think I will keep that line...

Yep. Idea can be good, but its execution was actually really bad. Won't be starting discussion, because it will guide to flame war

Ajay woke up on his bed in the small room he lived. He lived somewhere on the outskirts of Murmansk's capitol. Well. hello, another crappy day.
He lived alone, away from parents. No one from his relatives knew anything about his private relations - and they knew everything, because he had none. So he was really guessed when somebody called him through his EVA. But then he relaxed.
"Command... Well, if Motherland will say "We need", soldier should say "Will do"... And I will say "Will do"..." - murmured Ajay to himself.
The only one man who needed Ajay was Podpolkovnik (Low Colonel, army rank between Major and Colonel in Russian army) Igor Flyagin. His old mate - and even more, teacher. The message Igor left, if translated to English, meant:
"We need your help. Arrive to Coalition HQ as quickly as possible! I will give you details there. This will be long mission, so be prepared".
-That will be definitely crappy day... - murmured Ajay, trying to find keys from his Lagg.
Then he filled his flask with vodka (How can be fanfiction about a Coalition Character be without this?), took his AGS-4 (Automated Gyrojet for Self-defence), wore an uniform and left his flat.

BTW, shall I do more fanfiction about my char? Flashback to Ajay''s Assignment, how Ajay's ship got FUBAR, and how he got to Manhattan? Wont be asking, will just do.
Part one.
Ajay was sitting before huge screen in intelligence officer's room onboard old, rusting and reliable Gorlowka Carrier. He was tracking coalition's long range radars in Mandar. Until this time, there were nothing interesting. Sometimes - Nomads patrols. But today... Today his radars detected some non-organic ship. Seven ships. Seems like they were Alliance ships.
If our Ajay was some kind of superhero, he would think something like: "This is the event which can shake the universe". But Ajay did not cared. He just linked to patrols and said:
-All patrols in Gladius and Gurm, we got Alliance incoming from Mandar. Power DRICs and be prepared, they still can be hostile.
Then he just turned his EVA off. After some seconds ring called, and Ajay's friend, another Intelligence officer, came to change him.
-OK, Ivan, its my time to watch now. Command gave you holiday, so you can leave carrier. Here are all of the needed papers.
-Thanks. - answered Ajay. Ajay was just a nickname, his real name was Ivan. The rest of his name was known only to his relatives and to command.
After hour Ajay's old and decommissioned almost two years ago Lagg left Gorlowka's dock and headed to Murmansk.

Nice story m8!

Seems like my mind said "Insufficient funds". I do not know anything awesome, or funny, or related to Ju *BLAM!*~, or something of that way to add to Invincible-awesome-and-dont-caring-about-all-but-capable-to-do-everything Trent's to-do list. Maybe, somebody with fresh ideas and with mature mind will help?

But somewhy in Vanilla FL Coalition was FULLY wiped out by the same Nomads... That is already a trail of that Hollywood-like hate to communists at all and Russians at particular =(

Yes, since th BS piloting is actually needs understanding of FL strategy.
And, shall I post news for Coalition here, or I shall create a separate thread?

Don't forget, those Rheinlanders begun first =)

How about different specialization of turrets? Ones with good damage, but low ROF and projectile speed. ones with ROF and speed, but puny damage, and others with balanced ROF, speed and damage. And others with EMP effect (Shield damage > Hull damage).
BTW, more news:
"From Navy to Citizens":
Yesterday an amount of Basilisks were retired from Naval Forces. Since they were decommissioned only because of warranty period invalidation or because of non-serious damage (not because of damage-beyond-repair), navy has sanctioned sales of those ships to civilians, who has a standard flight allowance. The Basilisk is, actually, very powerful ship, so navy has limited a power supply to two hardpoints of six, lowering them to class 9. That actually does not affects its cargo hold and survivability, so with Nomad and unknown aliens threat it can give even not trained civilian pilot a chance to survive. Sales had begun on Pawlowdar station in Vorkuta system. Even allowed Alliance civilians can buy this ship. Together with Basilisks, many ships of another classes has been retired for same reasons, and can be bought on different Coalition stations. For now you can buy our sophisticated ships, such as Laggs, Sabers, Saracens, Azans, Cossacks, Devils, Dolphins, Salins and even feared bombers "Kamov" on Coalition stations, together with some civilian-designed ships.

GMG - good idea too =)

Zoners?

One of the rumors for Coalition bar:
"I am assigned to patrol in Gladius, and I saw Alliance ships warping in. We lost 3 Kurgans and one Badanov-class, but they had fallen back. We even wanted to relocate Gorlowka there to stop them... And after a couple of days we decided, that we, mankind, shouldn't fight with each other when Nomad threat is looming on horizon. And I hope, that they will see our example and will begin build society without oppression too".
Another example (Can be offensive):
"They say that Communism is a threat. It is a threat - but only for those, who exploit another people. Have you seen here any workers rebelling against the company they are working for? No. Have you seen farmers turning bankrupts because of corporation capturing the market? Not here. Have you seen somebody get fired from the company because he or she did something wrong about high man? Not here. Have you seen young people cant get normal work because they are too poor to get an education? Not here. Thats why they hate us. Because we reached it, and they not. And now, it will be good if they will find a way to reach it in a peaceful way".

Like this:
"Space Becoming Dangerous":
Space Navy has detected more hostile encounters in our new home. They are more noticed in Vorkuta near Coalition HQ and Sovetskaya gates, and in border systems - Gladius, Gurm and Mandar. They are big creatures capable of living in space, probably, cybernetical and genetically enhanced. They are armed with powerful weapons, able to destroy a small fighter in seconds, and have tough body and energy shield. They are hostile to everybody who meet them, so they are a new threat. Thanks to our old and reliable defensive stations and to Coalition patrol, they can be easily dispatched when closing to our stations, but Space Navy does not takes responsibility in cause of civilian encounters them outside our defense. Leaving our defense perimeter (D.R.I.Cs, Warp buoys and Coalition patrols) is at your own risk.

So, how about news texts?

Well, it is made for lulz =)
And I will be studying roots in this year =)

Trent's to-do list update:
-Rebuild FP7. Make sure it won't go FUBAR after 4 puny torpedoes.
-Eat a Lich for a lunch. Withoud aid of sauces. Or with sauce made from Nomad Battleship.
-Leave a mark "Edison Trent was here" on a black hole.
-finally understand, why nomads drop bots, bats and commodities.
-Another idea to steal a DRIC: just strap engines and cockpit to it.
-Break up with Juni and survive.
-Kill a nomad with bare hands.
-Divide by zero. Near Professor Quintane.
-Subtract a square root from -1. Near Professor Quintane.
-Find a last digit of pi number. Near Quintane.
-If Quintane will survive those 3 points above, shake his hand.
-Make a museum of Nomad War. That artifact we ran around whole Vanilla FL should have the main place. Together with my portrait.
-When I will have enough money, buy Coalition Gatlings to be sold everywhere on Sirius Not an option. I dont want to see GC with CG.
-Get a piece of Freeport 7 wreckage.
-Visit Tekagi's Arch again. Or even buy it and rename to Trent's Arch. Repair that defensive shield and place shieldgens inside shield dome, not outside.
-Breach shield of Nomad Outpost in Styx. With my bare hands. Then get my hands to the Yggdrasil Battleship, get my ship inside, take every loot I will find inside the base and leave, like a boss.
-Kill a Nomad Light Fighter with a spit.

Or fulfilling point 4 of his list, but after it Trent won't be needing DRIC...

Oh, and BTW. Black Eagle seems to be made by Cybran Nation from Supreme Commander.
