Alrighty then. So basically make the speed classes like Fusion: Technically non-existant.

I played the whole AG League with FEISAR and van-Über.
The hard way only makes you stronger ;)
I think I might just be able to do it in a FEISAR, not sure about Van-Über.
We're nearing the start of the F12000, just two more parts to go!
The referenced album title of Part 12.3 was Xtort by KMFDM.
Also, there was a referenced album title for the entirety of Part 12, which, if you took the green letters and swapped them around, it would give you "ANTI", which references the Anti EP by Autechre. Yeah, really obscure, sorry.
Anyway, back to normal part titles!

Angelus R&D HQ, Perth, Australia

After the disappointment of everything they ever stood for being demolished, Angelus were not going to back down.
"Listen, Gelorum..." Brandon began.
"It is too late for that. Please... c-... call me by my real name." Alexandra Kotova cut in, defeated.
"...Really?" he asked, not sure if this was a trick.
"Brandon, you are not the only one who lost everything. In fact, I have lost even more than you. At least you still have a team, even if the second coming of the F9000 is approaching."
"A... Alexandra. you weren't evil at all, were you?"
"Of course not. I just have a really bad temper. That's the truth, I have nothing to lose or gain if I lie. I actually started to like it, racing in the FX400, as the violent racer... [sigh]... I should have accepted the fact that my racing style was not suitable for the Angelus pro-"
"Stop right there. That was all in the past... however, if you allow me to, I will forgive you. This does mean coming back as a part of the Angelus team."
Alexandra thought about it for a bit, then sighed. "I don't have a choice, do I? I have literally nothing to lose, as it was all taken away from me. I did not think it would come to this... but... please, forgive me. I want revenge. REVENGE FOR THAT F**KER WHO TOOK EVERYTHING AWAY FOM ME! If I have to join Angelus to do so, then so be it."
Brandon could do nothing but smile. "Welcome back to Angelus, Alexandra."
"Ugh, ok, stop. Calling me by my full name is cringe-worthy. You need to shorten that. Call me... erm... call me Alex."
"Alex... okay."
At that moment, the door opened suddenly and forcefully, as Tarah stormed in, with Gareth following behind her in an attempt to stop her.
"Tarah, stop!" Gareth commanded.
"You... You BITCH!" She yelled, and raised her fist, but stopped just as she was about to swing. Alex had cowered, stepping back, crouching and holding her hands above her head.
"No! I'm sorry, I-I really am. I know I've done horrible things, but please, don't hurt me, that won't make you any better than me. I only did the things I did because I could get away with it... well, the later things anyway. The first several months were done out of rage. But I'll change! I will! I promise, just... please... don't h-hurt me!"
After that she slumped to the floor in defeat, crying.
"Tarah, wh-" Brandon started, but was cut off.
"No, shut up!" Tarah snapped back, "She is a horrible, evil person! And you just let her back into our team? Really?"
"I'd rather we not discuss this right in front of her. But I let her back because I have compassion. She has lost everything, whether or not she deserved that is not the point. Besides, there are much worse people than her, and we must focus on the larger threats."
Suddenly, Alex started to speak. "I... I promise to play by your rules. This is your team, I can't just do what I want. All I ask is for your co-operation. We need to bring Crinale and the new AGRC down. It will be difficult, even if we all work together, but it will be easier than if we didn't."
"Well, you can't argue that she does have a point. Please Tarah, for me... Do this for me. You don't have to be the best of friends, just treat her as a part of Angelus. Please?"
After some thought, Tarah extended her hand to Alex, who was still on the floor. "Sorry. I usually don't lose my cool. Even then, I shouldn't have raised my fist at you."
"It's fine, I understand. I must have caused you and the team great pain. If anyone should be sorry, it's me." Alex then grabbed Tarah's hand, pulling herself up.
"Great! now, we have work to do, let's get cracking!"

"Breaking News: The Anti-Gravity Racing Commission has made some changes this past week, and are now able to publicly reveal them. Live at the AGRC headquarters, here is Chris Scarbrough."
"Hello. I am Chris Scarbrough, the new managing director of the Anti-Gravity Racing Commission. The sudden death of Natasha Belmondo shocked everyone here at the AGRC and indeed the world. So, in her honour, the AGRC has approved of upgrading the League to F12000 specification. Participating teams have been supplied with the official rules and regulations, so they may start work on constructing their crafts for the inaugural season, starting in 2212.
"What I can tell the public is that it will be one of the fastest leagues yet! We have made changes to the course roster and speed classes. Now, there is no speed limit, but there are limitations for the various components. These limitations will be called Stages. Stage 1 will be the most restrictive and the slowest, and Stage 4 will be the least restrictive and the fastest. Either way, speeds will be in excess of 1000km/h! This is one reason why we changed the roster of racing courses.
"In any case, we hope to see you there in 2212!"
Brandon just sat there, the only thing he could say was "...Of course. Stupid git. Seeing his stupid smile makes me want to f**king vomit."
He then turned to his team, after obtaining the regulations and restrictions. "Alrighty team, I now officially declare work on the F12000 craft started. Let's show this idiot what we can do!"
The only changes in regulations that you have to worry about in creating your F12k ships is the increase in speed to >1100km/h. All stats go up to 100%, as in the standard FX400. Also required is a Super Weapon, which obviously makes a comeback in this league. So basically, think Fusion.
In 2212? Mein Gott, I can´t wait so long :P
Anyway I regret that there will be a big war in 2211 ^^
It just seems logical to have a long period of time to give the teams the time needed to develop their F12k ships. ^_^
Fun fact: The F12000 was going to be like the FX400 in terms of Speed classes, but they would be somewhat different. The classes were going to be:
- Vector (Renamed from Venom),
- Venom (Renamed from Flash),
- Rapier,
- Phantom and
- Zen (Top Speed: 981km/h)

[1] That is a great idea, considering the F12000 is a fan-made league.Quote:

Regarding the site, I've been working on the Angelus and Crinale F12000 ships, and some new visual styles. Once I've finished the info for the craft, the site will be back up.
I''ll send you a PM with a lot of infos soon (also pictures).
Nice! The images won't be up instantly along with the site, they will take a while so I can implement them into the site and not screw the webpage up. But rest assured they will be there eventually.
To the readers: Who can draw and illustrate ships/characters/logos. Pls PM me :)
Depending on the complexity of the design, I could make your Jennter Logo for the F12000. Yours too, Snake. Though, be warned I'm not good with ultra complex logos. Sorry. :/
As you can probably tell, I am quite good at minimalistic artwork. I'm actually considering taking up Digital Design next year. Either that or the Diploma in Web Design.
Arrrgh life right now :P
Sorry for the inactivity, coursework and other stuff had to be dealt with. But I'm up to date with what is going on here so I'm working on my parts now :)
Also working on my stuff for new logos and what not. The XAF-10 will simply have its limiter boundary raised for the speed.
Really? 912km/h seems slow for Wyvern, the other teams will be competing in >1100km/h crafts, unless you mean the ship will be upgraded to those kinds of speeds?
Yeah, the XAF-10's are gonna receive some upgrades for the F12000 to boost the speed, shields and other stuff.
Also, are we gonna introduce Fusion logic of:
taking so much damage ---> Lose a part of your wing ---> Agility decreased
That depends. Do you want that to be introduced?
I would like that. But we wold need pitlanes (wohoo retro stuff).
The TopSpeed of S1 should be 900kph, S2: 1000kph, S3: 1100kph, S4: 1200kph.
This is not a limit, rather a basic stat of current development (2212).
How do we deal with stages? Do they offcially get declared by the league commision when the current stage reaches it's peak?
I'm finshed with two tracks (to lazy to upload ^^) Kölner Stadtkurs (dt. Cologne Streetcircuit), in the 23rd century vesion of Cologne aaaannnnd Akina! :D Yeas a point-to-point race.
Pictures are coming when I write on PC.
I'm going to write a motorsport-like set of rules, ok? :)
Teams: How about Auricom leaves the sport, Icaras and Harmau are probably following (maybe a year later).
So we woud have:
1.Angelus
2.Criale(?)
3.Wyvern
4.Jennter
5.FEISAR
6.Qirex
7.Piranha
8.AG-Systems
9.Goteki 45
10.Mirage
11.Assegai
12.Icaras(?)
13.Harimau(?)
14.EG-X
15.Triakis
?.Auricom
Since tracks are becoming longer, how about every team can choose if the operate one or two crafts.
The maximum number of crafts should, in a race, be 26 (F1-style), in Time-Practise, new Qualy event (F1-style), maximum 30 (F1-style).
We won't have more than 30 crafts now, but otherwise there should be a pre-qualy.
Just my thoughts.
Wow, I totally need a while to think about all this. How about we take a break from posting anything from 2210-2212 until we get all the rules and regulations of the F12000 done?
So, the Top Speeds of the Stages you posted are more like the minimum speeds of the stage?
imo, I think Icaras would stay. Just me, though.
There's a war waiting :P
I'llwrit the rules per Goodgle Docs, so that you can edit them.
I think Harimau and Auricom will leave after 2212.
This was rather the upper average speed, a S1 FEISAR would fly with 850 kph and a Piranha with 915.
Ah, so will you have to edit the top speed of your Jennter craft? Cause you said it was 1245km/h at Stage 1.
Don't worry, I will have to do the same with Angelus and Crinale, as I based the Stage top speeds off a combination of Fusion and the Stage 1 speed you proposed for Jennter.
Once we get the rules and everything done, then I will make use of the tabs I used in the Wyvern XAF-72 and the Crinale Apollyon. (this time, for the stages). But for now, I will only do the Stage 1 version of both the Angelus and Crinale crafts.
EDIT: I guess you can write about the 2211 war if you want Jonny, by "not posting anything from 2210-2212", I meant to do with the actual F12000 development itself.
[part removed]
Nice! I assume you're still working on the F12000 rules and regulations? Must be quite a long list!
FWD S2 Part 4.2: A returning threat
Wyvern AR HQ
RED ALERT! INTRUDER!
David scrambles to the main security office, they monitors are displaying a feedback of a mysterious figure completely adorned by a black colour inside the XAF-72 hangar. Unlucky for him the hangar was on lock down due to the alarms and had no escape. David turns for the door when Razgriz grabs his shoulder.
"David, could this be the man who sabotaged the XAF-72 during the show day?"
"I don't know, but I ain't taking chances with this. Call in the security team"
Moments later and entire team of armed officers were jogging to the XAF hangar and preparing to breach. David catches up to the team along with Razgriz as they wish to interview this unknown assailant.
David gives the all clear to the main office and they undo the lock down on the hangar doors, the team moves in to a empty hangar.
"What the hell??" exclaims David
"WATCH OUT"
Suddenly Razgriz rugby tackles David and soon after a gun shot his heard, both come out unscathed and the security team aim at the source of the shot. A very faint gleam from reflected light is seen and a officer tosses a Flashbang to immobilize the intruder.
*BANG*
A loud groan is heard and soon a officier pulls out the incapacitated person, David looks over and his face highlights in anger
"You!!"
"Hello David"
It was former lead Wyvern pilot Falon
"Why are you here? You should be in prison" shouts Razgriz
"I have friends you know"
David then punches Falon to the floor and shouts
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU RETURN?!!!!"
Falon laughs maniacally at David and whispers
"For your broken spirit"
A Flashbang rolls from Falons hand and everyone is incapacitated. When David regains his vision Falon is nowhere to be seen. But a deep echo is heard throughout the hangar along with a slow deep laugh almost like a horror film villain, Falon then speaks up.
"You know David it was only a matter of time before I get back to what I believe is right for this world, the Omega harbour race was only the mere icing on the cake for what is undeniably the future for AG racing and humanity. After all the master plan was initiated and the F12000 is now coming up, and now you will be crushed under my hand"
David then replies
"Was it you who deactivated the ECS Cage?"
"ME?! No, that is Crinales work at hand. I am no longer a part of the Crinale team but more of a free lance pilot now looking for his revenge. And I shall fulfill that goal by crushing you first and then your pathetic friends. Sarah was the mere beginning"
"YOU BASTARD!" Shouts Razgriz
David's face fills with a red colour and his fist clenches
"Now now David, no point getting angry. Thing is you know that you cannot stop me now, I may not be on the Crinale team since I disagree with their treatment of pilots. But that's not stopping me support them for every single step of the way. But soon we will break the spirit of Angelus to, I know Brandon has become quite fond of Tarah. It be a shame to see something happen to them"
At that moment David grabbed a firearm from a officer and open fired in the direction of Falon's voice. He concentrated his fire to a precise point until his gun ran out of ammo.
*click, click, click*
"Geez David, you nearly killed me. To bad I am now a shadow that you cannot see. I could murder you now with this clear shot, but I want to see you and your puny team suffer my wrath. You must work on your anger issues for you're very violent it seems now, guess the death of Sarah has made you a soft sun of a gun who is easily broken now. But I must be going for I have other plans, ciao losers"
Suddenly a back door bangs open and Falon disappears from all cameras on site. Razgriz takes the firearm from David and lies it on the floor, David soon mutters
"Warn Angelus of what just happened, the situation is becoming more dire than I thought"
Hmm, I just thought of a way to counteract Falon, and honestly, I've been thinking about using that method in a part for a while.
I've somewhat completed the site, but I'm waiting on the F12k rules so I can compare them and see what all I need to edit (mainly to do with the top speeds of the Angelus and Crinale F12k crafts.)
1. The rules are stil...WIP, I'm writing whenever I can. This week I didn't bad the time, since school didn't ended before 2-3PM, than homework, household-stuff and it's already pretty late.
Also I was very tired in school recently, so I decided to go to bed at least before 12 PM.
Now it's weekend, so I think I could write again.
2. There is no limited topspeed, it's rather a reference to make things realistically.
From S1-S4: 800, 900, 1000, 1100.
There are also the Piranhas (845kph) and the FEISARs (790 kph)
I understand, but I can't make a Stage 1 ship go 1200+km/h, then have the reference guide only go up to 1100.
But in any case, is that Stage speed guide the ultimate final version? Cause if so, then I can finish up the F12k ships! ^_^
If not, then I will patiently wait. I've used Fusion as a reference for every other stat but the top speed.
If you put a massive V12...äh wait....
If you put a massive engine in the ship a final Stage 4 craft could reach 1200 kph.
A ship upgrade doesn't instantly stages the ship up, it's like in F1, or in Fusion.
In that case, why don't we have 5 stages?Quote:

Then there's S5, which is 100% completion, but uses S4 body/chassis design
The percentage should just be a gheoretical number, how developed a craft is.
And a 100% ship is still S4, like a 74% craft is S3.
Even though the math doesn't work out, I do see your point.
(by saying the math not working out, I'm going by intervals of 24/25 [0-24 for S1, 25-49 for S2, 50-74 for S3 and 75-99 for S4.])
But forget about that, the main thing I'm thinking about to do with that is how to put that data into the site.
Should I have it as just Stages 1-4 (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%), Stages 1-4 and 100% completion, or 0% completion (S1) and 100% completion?
EDIT: Initially, though, I will only have the S1 variant (0%) on the site, but I would still like to know.
In Fusion the apperance of the ship majorly changes when upgrading the stage (also it´s a new model variant). So just list the stages :P
But there's also a noticeable difference in stats between 75% S4 and 100% S4. So are you sure I should just list the stages, or should I add the 100% S4 to the list as well?
The development stage of the craft chanhes over the year. Imagine a team's press announcement: "For the race in Collogne our craft is 5% better than before."
Nobody knows how advanced a craft in it's letter stage is. I don't even have concrete plans for the latter stages.
Okay, I see now. It wouldn't have affected the site at this point in time anyway, as I would only upload the S1 craft. but in the later run, Stages 1-4 it is.
I´m currently making a basic starter list (also with fictional pilots of the 12 original teams).
I need to know the pilots of Angelus, Wyvern and Crinale, if they continue racing.
The data I need are: Full name OR pseudonym, Racing Number, Nationality (either a real nation like Finland, or things like "European", or it´s secret) and of course the team.
Each team CAN have 2 pilots, that race. If somebody is a test/reserve pilot, don´t give him/her a race number.
For what, the F12000? In that case...
Angelus R&D
Lead Pilot: #43 Kyoko Fujisaki (藤崎 響子 Fujisaki Kyōko), Unknown [FUJI616.1.2.194]
[Spoilers are involved as to what happens to Tarah]
Second Pilot: #19 Gareth Ardos, Australian [ARDO889.1.0.194]
Reserve Pilot: Alexandra Kotova, Russian
Crinale International (...yeah, they changed their name)
Lead Pilot: #13 Leon Turner, British [TURN847.0.0.329]
Yeah, son of that Turner.
Second Pilot: #07 Lucia Scarlatti, Italian [SCAR308.1.0.329]
Ok thanks :)
Do you mind if I write something about the pilots of the "default" teams?
Yeah, of course! Go right ahead! ^_^
