This is a Space-Combat RP with a very heroic(?) tone to it. With the rise of more Space Sim games, like Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen, I got this idea of an RP where we play as ship Captains. You choose your ship type, flesh it out with crew, weaponry, and all that sort of stuff. We also need one Admiral, to command the Fleet, mostly directing where the next battle will be. The Admiral will also be the Co-GM of sorts.

The very rough version of this story is that Humanity finally started to explore space, setting up colonies, and making alliances with various alien species. Very Star-Trek-esque beginning. Until Humanity met a race that could not be reasoned with, war broke out and the Alliance that the humans established is so far losing the war. Our RP starts several years into the war, with the enemy currently invading one of the cornerstones of the Alliance, the Sol System. This is where we push them back.

Much more details in the OOC to come. So who's up for it? We also need a name for this RP.

Interested.

Name suggestion: Into The Black

Bump

OOC coming tomorrow, with an official name, lore, and everything.

Interested, very interested.

Are we taking more of a hard-science approach to ship building and combat, or are we being a little more cinematic, or somewhere in between?

Are we allowing the inclusion of quantum and theoretical weaponry/technology? (Dark Matter/Dark Energy drives, and so on. Harlock: Space Pirate being an example)

This interests me a lot, and I have stuff designed for spaceship construction, as well as designs in mind. I will be more than happy to provide what I have too.

We're taking a much more cinematic approach to everything. However, you can take certain hard-science aspects and do stuff with it.

In the OOC,, there will be a catalog of common ship classes and weapons. These are just suggestions. If you want to fly a Warbird, which is not in the common ship catalog, you can make your ship a warbird. Go ahead. As for Quantum/DarkMatterEnergy technology, most of that sort of stuff would be mostly experimental and in the prototype stage. If you want prototype technology on your ship, I'm fine with it. As long as it's not super amounts of OP.

For your designs, if you want, you can PM me the content, with some lore behind it, and I'll put it in the catalog. For example, your designs could be the product of a specific alien race, or a specific shipyards, that sort of thing. I'm taking a very laid back approach to this RP.

Hastily put OOC up, so you guys can start making your ships and talking about space stuff.
We still need an 'Admiral', if you guys don't make an Admiral, I'll have a buddy or something take the spot.
