Hi, I'm Alvin Plummer, a new member of this mailgroup. I recently bought
the Deluxe Edition of TNE, and would like to build a 'pocket empire'
outside of the Imperial universe.
I'd like to design the Armed Forces for my TL 12 government. _Path of Tears_
gives some good information, but doesn't help me design Space Navies.
How would I determine the size of a Navy that a given world / multisystem
government should have ( in a Virus-free enviroment) ? How should this
Navy be composed of: Carrer fleets, 10,000 disp escorts, Troop Transports,
armoured scouts, etc?
As you could guess, my mini-empire is going to do some expanding, being in
a similar situation that Britian was in it's empire-buildibng phase (from
exploration to piracy to colonies to Empire). What are the main
differences between an expanding interstellar empire and a expanding wet
navy empire like Britian?
Thanks for your input,
Alvin Plummer
