 From small patrol ships to massive empire leading flagships, these ships are the backbone of any Empire, they enforce your will and crush your enemies, each class comes in a size range detailed in their description.
-'''Class 1 Capital Ship (CL1)''': Between 15-50m, these are the lightest class of capital ship. Generally Gunboats and Frigates these ships are light, but faster than other capital ships.

-'''Class 3 Capital Ship (CL3)''': Between 200-850m A heavy class of capital ship, these are the backbone of most navies. Generally reserved for the most skilled captains, these are the ships that provide the muscle for fleets. Examples of these would be Battleships.

 '''Class 5 Capital Ship (CL5)''': Over 2000m These behemoths are the enormous ships that strike fear in the hearts of enemies. Able to match firepower with an entire battle fleet, these are the most powerful warships that an empire can have. Examples of these are Super Dreadnoughts and Flagships.
-'''Transport Class Ship (T)''': While generally large these ships are typically civillian designed and pressed into miltiary service or simpley just much lighter versions of Troop Transports, regardless these are unarmed. For planetary invasions or captures Transports count as CL-2's, but have the advantage that they need no tech to produce. Transports really shine though when it comes to moving vast quantites of civllians, as shown on the following chart:

-Production Reduction (Lazy Workers): Perhaps they’re lazy, perhaps your machinery is just not efficient or your designs just take longer to build, whatever the case your production facilities just can’t match those of other empires. All your production facilities (including planets) produce 15 less Production Points at the end of the turn.

 You may select 1 of these traits, and this trait does -not- take up a positive or negetive trait slot. In addition Neutral Traits do not unlock additional traits like Negative Traits do. However, you may trade one Positive Trait slot for a Neutral one (Yes this includes an unlocked Positive Trait slot by getting a Negetive Trait).
-Inherent Violence (Warriors): War! Violence! To die an honorable death at the hands of your foes, that’s what your people want. They are hardy warriors with a small natural advantage to warfare too (Mechnically, this gives you a tiny advantage to dice rolls to capture/defend somthing from capture). However if you’re not at war with anyone your people become unhappy and rebellious, making peacetime a very dangerous thing for your empire as it might tear itself apart.
+{{:Inherent Violence|game=cyoe3}}
+{{:Inherent Pacifism|game=cyoe3}}
-Inherent Pacifism (Federation): Peace and prosperity, no need for violence we’ve far outgrown that barbaric need; we’ve devoted ourselves to better things. As a result your people are happiest during peacetime in your empire giving you a bonus + 15 Production Points and +15 Research Points to every station/planet that produces PP or RP at the end of every turn that you’re at peace. (Note, these bonuses do indeed stack with the production and research focus traits and can lead to a total +30 bonus to every point producing object in your empire while at peace). In addition your people are not good fighters and have a small disadvantage to warfare. (Mechnically, this gives you a tiny disadvantage to dice rolls to capture/defend somthing from capture)
+{{:Inherently Zealous|game=cyoe3}}
+{{:Dogmatic|game=cyoe3}}
-Inherently Zealous (Theocracy): Your leader is right, they are always right, their power descends from the gods themselves, as a result they believe whatever you say and do without question, giving you a bonus to morale and loyalty. However as a side effect of your religion, science is considered heresy and your research efficiency is lower then usual and you must deduct 20 Research Points from every research base and planet a turn. (Note this stacks with the Research Reduction trit, meaning you can have -35 RP from every RP producing object in your empire)
+{{:Incompatible|game=cyoe3}}
+{{:Moderate Colonisation Initative|game=cyoe3}}
-Dogmatic (No Other Way): Your empire has no idea how its technology works. Perhaps it was stolen, perhaps they have simply forgotten. Regardless, what they have is venerated and copied, and to conceive of improving it is blasphemy. You start with 5 techs, but cannot conduct research of any kind, including receiving it from trades or reverse engineering. NOTE Artifacts and Artifact ships are exceptions to this rule.
+{{:Light Raiders|game=cyoe3}}
+{{:Drifters|game=cyoe3}}
-Incompatible (Just too different): Whether it is because your facilities are organic rather than technological, or made entirely of pure energy, your empire is totally incompatible with all others. Your ships, stations and planets cannot be captured or traded, but conversely you cannot capture or trade anyone else's ships, stations and planets. If you do capture a planet, it is immediately reduced to class 0, and you do not gain any PP for decommissioning the existing levels. NOTE Artifacts and Artifact ships are exceptions to this rule.

-Fleet Balance Doctrine (Battlestar Solution): While other empires are known either for pilots with supernatural luck or unbreakable capital ship formations, your empire takes a different path. Your empire knows that any good capital ship needs a fighter screen and that any good fighter needs a better carrier to support it. As a result each CL3 and above ship comes with 15 free Production Points worth of Strike Craft. Note: This trait stacks with the Dedicated Carrier Tech, boosting it’s number of Strike Craft to 115 PPs worth, though they still have the same limitations.
+{{:Fleet Balance Doctrine|game=cyoe3}}
+{{:Production Focus|game=cyoe3}}
-Production Focus (Industrious): When asked the question “What’s the best to focus on?” your empire responds with “Building things!” If it’s engineering genius, advanced robotic workers or a people who just really like making things is your choice. At the end of the day all your production facilities (including planets) produce an extra 15 Production Points every turn.

+{{:Marine Focus|game=cyoe3}}
-Research Focus (Genius Bonus): Your Empire is famous for its scientists and your laboratory facilities attract the best and brightest from across known space. When it comes to developing advanced technology you are the masters among amateurs. Every research facility (including planets) you own produces an extra 15 research Points every turn.
+{{:Unity Discipline|game=cyoe3}}
+{{:Salvage Discipline|game=cyoe3}}
-Marine Focus (Super Soldiers): Maybe life on your planet is tough or perhaps you have the most rigorous training regime since ancient Sparta, or perhaps it’s your augumentive technology for your troops. Whatever the case your ground forces are peerless, if you are invading a planet, boarding a ship or repelling boarders, the enemy is in for a fight they’re not soon going to forget. Mechnically this improves your ground combat effectivness by 25% and give syou the oppertunity to potentially capture ships before they can self desctruct.
+{{:Colonisation Initiative|game=cyoe3}}
+{{:Ancient|game=cyoe3}}
-Unity Discipline (Loyalty): To the people of your Empire, there may as well not be any one else. For they will kneel only to you, be it through propaganda, secret police or genuine loyalty of a proud people, your people have tremendous morale reserves and rebelling against you is almost unthinkable.
+{{:Archaeologists|game=cyoe3}}
+{{:Manifest Destiny|game=cyoe3}}
-Salvage Discipline (Scavengers): To your people, there’s no point wasting material, not even from something like a battle, that debris needs clearing away! You are the people to do it. Any battle you take part in that your side wins, you will salvage 10% of the PP worth of all ships destroyed. Note: If the enemy however self destructs, you gain no PP as self destruction deliberately destroys any useful salvage parts.
+{{:Gardens of Kadesh|game=cyoe3}}
+{{:Backwater Navigation|game=cyoe3}}
-Colonization Initiative (Lucky): The founding colony ship of your empire was either very thorough in its initial survey, very patent in finding a home, or was incredibly lucky. Whatever the case may be, you start off with one additional class 0 planet in your home system.

Unfortunately you’re going to need those numbers are your ships are inherently far weaker then those of others empires, being built around the principle of there’ll always be numbers on their side. With this tech you gain the ability to produce mp versions of any ship you can build (ie CL-3mp) this version of the ship costs half as much as the standard version and is half as effective.

With this tech you gain the ability to produce t versions of any ship you can build (ie CL-3t) this version of the ship costs twice as much as the standard version and yet is twice as effective.

-{{:Advanced Propulsion|game=cyoe3}} (5,000 RP, 3 Turns): With this tech your fleet has been tuned for engine performance, as a result your ships are faster and more maneuverable in battle and you can move up to 3 jumps a turn instead of the usual 2.
+{{:Enhanced Range|game=cyoe3}}
 {{:Disablement Weapons|game=cyoe3}}
-{{:Self Destruction|game=cyoe3}} (6,000 RP, 4 Turns): You’ve seen that your enemies like boarding actions and you want to deny them anything that’s yours, perhaps even salvage, or perhaps you just don’t want any knowledge about you falling into the wrong hands. Regardless with the Self-Destruct tech, you can detonate you ships and stations to deny your enemy capturing them or salvaging their debris. Note: Empires with enhanced troops have a chance to capture ships before they can self destruct; in addition ships disabled with the Disablement Weapons tech cannot self destruct.

 {{:Ambush|game=cyoe3}}
-{{:Enhanced Range|game=cyoe3}} (5,000 RP, 3 Turns): He who has the high ground has a tremendous advantage in any battle, with these piece of technology, you’ve tweaked all the weapons in your fleet to give you a range advantage, effectively allowing you to have the high ground while in space.
+{{:Advanced Sensors|game=cyoe3}}
 {{:Ultraheavy Capitals|game=cyoe3}}
-{{:Disablement Weapons|game=cyoe3}} (7,000 RP, 5 Turns): Through a breakthrough in EMP or perhaps Ion weapons or maybe you’ve invested the points in finding out the precise places to strike an enemy warship to disable it, whatever the case you may pick one enemy warship to disable instead of destroy in battle, meaning that you may specify to disable instead of destroying ships in your battle strategies. Disabled ships can then be captured after the battle without needing boarding parties, but be warned after 1 turn disabled ships will repair themselves and they may even be able to fight off your troops.

Alternatively, you can use boarding parties as a supplemental weapon to destroy/disable enemy ships. The number of Boarding Parties varies per ship, a CL1 will get one attempt, a CL2 will get two, etc.
+{{:Blockade Runners|game=cyoe3}}
 {{:Mobile Production Bases|game=cyoe3}}
-{{:Ambush|game=cyoe3}} (7,000 RP, 5 Turns)One of the most feared technologies, this allows you to ambush another players fleet, giving you a major edge in combat, be I through cloaking devices, ECM, Mines or holographic emitters they’ll never see your fleet coming until it’s too late.
+{{:Interdictors|game=cyoe3}}
 {{:Gunships|game=cyoe3}}
-{{:Advanced Sensors|game=cyoe3}} (7,000 RP, 5 Turns): A very useful technology to have, this equips your fleet with advanced sensors giving you a 50% chance (That stacks with Recon Fighters and Survey ships) to detect or see through another players ambush, putting your forces back on a level playing field. In addition it provides a bonus to Observed Reverse Engineering drastically reducing the chance of failure. Also Advanced sensors provide bonuses (That stack with Backwater Navigation) for navigation and combat in difficult terrian.
+{{:Spinal-mount|game=cyoe3}}
 {{:Mobile Research Ship|game=cyoe3}}
-{{:Ultraheavy Capitals|game=cyoe3}} (4,000 RP, 3 Turns): Unlocks the SHCL(Super Heavy Capital ship) slot. These ships are massive and require a lot of resources to produce. These are comparable to CL5s as CL1s are to Bombers. Only one SHCL per tech. An empire can research this tech multiple times and unlock an additional ship slot. In Addition SHCL's require two turns to construct.

 {{:Orbital Habitats|game=cyoe3}}
-{{:Dedicated Carriers|game=cyoe3}} (2,000 RP, 2 Turns): Unlocks the ability to construct the dedicated carrier type of capital ship. Dedicated carriers are comparable in size and cost to CL-4’s but have only the firepower and durability of CL-2’s. This is due to the vast areas of the ship are hollow and store inordinate amounts of strike craft. Specifically each carrier comes with 100pp worth of strikecraft (50pp worth on the mp version and 200pp worth on the t version),these do not count as independent units when not in combat however as they remain docked or in the same system as the carrier at all times. The composition of the 100pps (or 50/100pps) of Strike craft are defined by you when research on this tech is completed. In addition, the strikecraft compliment of a dedicated carrier restores to full after 1 turn of no combat, however if engaged without this break the casultities from the previous battle will still be missing.

 {{:Advanced ECM Systems|game=cyoe3}}
-{{:Troop Transports|game=cyoe3}} (1,000 RP, 2 Turns): Unlocks the ability to construct the troop transport type of capital ship. Troop Transports are typically around the size of CL-2 class ships, yet are able to carry the amount of troops usually stationed on a CL-4 and as such count as CL-4’s when counting troops for planet, station and ship captures.

-Introduction
+==Introduction==
 Welcome one and all to CYOE! You may be asking what all this is, well simply put it is the next step up from CYOF. In CYOF you controlled a single faction of a much larger whole, here you control an entire Empire, its fleets, its people its corporations you name it. So come on in and get ready for a game of epic fleet battles, political intrigue, and galaxy shaping decisions.
-Building Your Empire
+==Building Your Empire==
 To play in CYOE you will of course need an Empire to control, this can be anything from a lost fleet of star ships looking for a home, to an ancient and powerful theocratic empire that believes it is the will of their gods to control the stars belong to them.

 This is where you come in; did your ships find a paradise world, or no world at all? Did you have to resort to cloning and genetic modification to survive with a low population? Or did you build robots to do such things for you? Perhaps you enslaved an alien race, or were enslaved by them. Maybe your empire –is- an alien race, expanding into space on their own. Have an idea in mind for what you want your Empire to be and then you can move onto buying the traits and techs that let you fit these ideas.
-Traits and Techs
+==Traits==
-Positive Traits
+===Positive Traits===
 These are what make your empire unique, the ingrained things that make your people different from all the other empires out there. You may select any 2 of these.

-Negative Traits
+===Negative Traits===
 Perhaps you want a challenge, or something else to help fit the concept for your empire? That’s where these traits come in; they give your empire a weakness in a certain era, maybe you don’t like fighters? Pick up Forgotten Pilots, and you never need to worry about your strike craft again.
 You may have up to 2 Negative traits, each negative trait you have unlocks an additional trait slot, so you can have up to four positive traits this way, assuming two negative traits are picked.
@@ Line 85: / Line 83: @@
 Galactic Menace (The Bogey Men): Your empire is the worst of the worst. Mothers frighten their children with you. Your enemies know that if they lose to you, there will be no mercy. Enemies get a moral bonus when fighting you.
-Neutral Traits
+===Neutral Traits===
 Not everything is black and white, and not all of your empire straits have to be straight advantages or disadvantages. As a note, these advantages and disadvantages stack with the other traits, so be very careful if you pick any.
 You may select 1 of these traits, and this trait does -not- take up a positive or negetive trait slot. In addition Neutral Traits do not unlock additional traits like Negative Traits do. However, you may trade one Positive Trait slot for a Neutral one (Yes this includes an unlocked Positive Trait slot by getting a Negetive Trait).
@@ Line 118: / Line 116: @@
-Techs
+==Techs==
 These represent improvements to your fleet or fleet wide special abilities that you can deploy in your battle strategies. You begin play with 2 free technologies and 3 additional free technology slots, you may replace the technology in any existing slot at any time once you have paid for a new tech, but you cannot have more techs then you have slots for. In addition, each Tech may only be purchased once, no stacking bonuses here. Techs require you to have a free techslot and the full cost of the tech saved up in RP before research can begin. You may research as many techs as you have free techslots and RP to research at once. A new techslot can be purchased for 3,000 RP at any time. In addition, techs can be traded to any other empire with a free techslot, traded techs have no RP cost, but still need to run through their research times.
-Equiping Techs
+===Equipping Techs===
 When you research a tech you may globally apply it to all your ships, and while ine some cases, such as enhanced range or speed, this is a good diea in others, such as Ambush it may not be.

 To help keep the Admins life simpilar, keep your Encyclopdeia threads up to date, stating which techs are globally applied and which are only one specific ships.
-Reverse Engineering:
+===Reverse Engineering===
 By luck or by skill you’ve captured an enemy ship which has a technology you don’t; if you have a free techslot however you can begin the process of reverse engineering. This sacrifices the ship but allows you to begin research at 60% of the listed cost (Rounding up)!
-Observed Reverse Engineering
+===Observed Reverse Engineering===
 You do not always have to capture a tech to try reverse enineering it, with the advanced sensor arrays on Survey ships, Recon Fighters and Mobile Research Ships present another option. If any of those three kinds of ships survive a battle that they witness a tech you do not have used in then you may attempt to reverse engineer the tech based of off hese recordings, this has the same cost as as regular reverse engineering but has a chance of failing.
 The standard successrate for Observed Reverse Engineering is 70% being boosted to 95% with advanced sensors.
-Artifacts

 The universe holds many mysteries, on such mystery is the ancient ruins and relics occasionaly found on far off desolate worlds. These remnants of peoples long gone are more then meuseum peices however, study of these relics may unlock technologies you'd never have thought of.

 {{:Sensor Disruption Pickets|game=cyoe3}} (4000 RP, 4 Turns): These small ships disrupt enemy sensors, making it harder for them to penetrate your stealth systems. The presence of a single SDP class ship in the fleet reduces the chance of anyone seeing through your Ambush technology by 1%, this effect stacks up to 25%. They are equivalent to a Survey Ship in combat. NOTE: If you do not have the Ambush tech, this effectivly grants you a lesser version of it

These ships are the culmination of an entire planetary exodus; if you could find it on a developed planet it will be somewhere inside this ship. When deployed a Civilisation Ship produces 100PP and 100RP, it also raises the I-rating of the system by 1. Note: One (and only One) Civilisation Ship in a system counts as a planet for the purposes of station count and I-rating limits, allowing the rating to reach I-Rating 5 without a planet or Garden Nebula.
