And all six civilisations have been conducting renewed search and survey efforts within, and beyond, their borders. text/html 2013-02-19T21:21:48+00:00 http://pioneers.chaosdeathfish.com/the_pioneer_initiative?rev=1361308908&do=diff The Pioneer Initiative is the name of the agreement brokered on the surface of Reddeluto by the six spacefaring Civilisations after the orbital standoff was resolved. In a neutral encampment under the watchful eyes of the orbiting warships, the six commanders (or nearest equivalents) of the fleets - approved as representatives of their respective Civilisations - hashed out a deal they could all more or less agree upon. text/html 2016-11-16T13:51:19+00:00 http://pioneers.chaosdeathfish.com/thread_63?rev=1479304279&do=diff At time of writing (Sector 4), many of the Distributed Process in play come from the same ark ship, and are descended from Thread 63, the final thread of the 2nd iteration.

Offence Vessels will tend to run on fusion reactors, using missiles for long range attack. Warheads vary by purpose, but the old fashioned thermonuclear bomb is always a popular choice. Closer range involves mass drivers, lasers and particle beams in batt… text/html 2013-02-19T21:16:24+00:00 http://pioneers.chaosdeathfish.com/weapons?rev=1361308584&do=diff Weapons: The majority of ranged weapons available to all six Civilisations are simple projectile launchers, known colloquially as 'buzz guns' due to the sounds made by the diabatic impellors that accelerate the ammunition from the barrel. Buzz guns fire macromolecular beads, generally of a 3mm to 5mm diameter that are culled during the firing process from an isomer reservoir within the weapon. Due to the small size of the round and the efficiency of the isomer mix used, a freshly loaded buzz gu… text/html 2016-11-21T11:46:48+00:00 http://pioneers.chaosdeathfish.com/website_updates?rev=1479728808&do=diff November 2016 * Updated character creation to explain about biological races affinities * Added missing tech skills to all skills page * Adding missing NX skills to all skills page * Add line about how “prevent X” skills must be used to NX Rules page * NX Max power pool is now 5 on NX rules page in line with downtime form. * Added additional fluff to Ardanium and Space travel about ship design considerations and gradienting too close to planets * Fluff to general technology about …
