as you may have recognized : we worked on the colony-gameplay. And it seems to be quite fun. It is easy for beginners and favours big alliances.
It will be a part of future ST and will increase the player numbers.

Still the classic way of playing st will stay - it is complex and thrilling (but hard for beginners)

we want to style the register screen with some fun recruitment advertisement for each play focus.

my english isn't the best it would be nice if you could help us to write some nice recruitment text for it.

like this maybe:
***
do you like hanging around in bars with creepy guys and after go
hunting some empirials with the same guys?

do you like to crush some poor bastards fleet, just for fun ?

Join the pirates!

-------------------------------

***

There is no escape. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy.

Join the Imperials!


thx

If we spot peaceful merchants, we rob them. If we spot imperial Colonizers, we burn them. If we spot rivalling buccaneers, we defeat them. If we spot a dirty space bar with home-brewed swill, we waste our loot on drink, gambling and vice. We are the shady scum of the galaxy and we like it. Arrr!

Join our raids! Join the PIRATES!

-----------------

Space is full of anarchy and danger, but we will bring order to the galaxy. Planets are waiting to be colonized. Colonies are waiting to be conquered.. Wars are waiting to be fought. Empires are waiting to be built and to be smashed again.

i think the descriptions shouldnt position the two playstyles on opposite sides ethically. the pirate playstyle is not evil nor is imperial playstyle good. They're just different in gameplay and the description should reflect that.

Sooo, I changed my texts a little to make clear that both ways are ethically doubtful without suggesting any preferences, although rampaging anarchist pirates are definitely cooler than marching fascist imperials. I think the gameplay reflects a little in this, as much as it can in a mere flavour text.
But I'd also like to read other proposals!



If we spot peaceful merchants, we rob them. If we spot imperial Colonizers, we burn them. If we spot rivalling buccaneers, we defeat them. If we spot a dirty space bar with home-brewed swill, we waste our loot on drink, gambling and vice. We are the shady scum of the galaxy and we like it.
But be careful, stranger. It won't be easy to stand your ground on our journey. You'll have to be a tactician, clever and cunning, always a step ahead. You'll have to be willing to learn before you can win. And probably you'll lose some fleets on your way.

But I can smell the guts and the backbone it takes on you. Join our raids, outlaw! Join the PIRATES!

-----------------

Space is full of anarchy and danger, but with our combined strength will bring order to the galaxy. Planets are waiting to be colonized. Colonies are waiting to be exploited.. Wars are waiting to be fought. Empires are waiting to be built and to be smashed again.
All because it is our duty to conquer. Follow the orders, soldier, and you can be sure to get your piece of the great cake. And by strategic skill, tenacity and whatever else it might take, one day you'll rise our ranks and you'll give the orders, sending new greenhorn recruits into dea... eehh ... glory.
