The Final Approach - Beginning of an End



The year is 2160AD. Bydo incursions have slowed down since the last attacks that culminated in the loss of the blueprints and the prototypes of the R-90 Ragnarok, R-13A Cerberus, and the R-9A2 Delta. Fortunately for humanity, the technology still exists; one simply has to "reinvent the wheel", so to speak. After several missions into Bydo Space, Humanity seemingly has located the true location of the Bydo Mother Core and the one real way to end the fight.

The Final Approach thus begins...



An R-Type inspired Arms Race game run by one who has little to no commitment running forum games (but that may change???), and certainly one who hasn't run an Arms Race game before, although I observed Sensei's magnificent game. In this game, you attempt to develop ships, weaponry and technologies in order to curb the threat of the other entity. Because this is also an Arms Race game, you also get to play as the series' main antagonists, and get to kill the other side of the party in your rage and desire to conquer all.

People get to propose weaponry to use, create, and when time gets to it, affix said weaponry to ships and test them live-fire on the enemy. Rolls will be done behind the scenes, and statistics determined on the type of weaponry/ship/technology, and its features. Weaknesses are also typically developed, which can be refined by researching/developing more on the same item.

As is usual with Arms Race type games, two game threads will be maintained, and you are advised demanded not to visit the other thread if you've already picked a side. Nobody likes a shifty allegiance-shifter person. But before we do that, let's run an interest check and clarify some issues as needed here, so I can tweak the game before running it.
