@Midori
So is this better now?

Much less explosive now.

I didn't really know what to change...

@MidoriHmm is the age open to negotiation? If so what if we compromise and make her 16? See I envision Fox as a mid-adolescent cyber anarchist and 18 years old is a bit too on the mature side. Ultimately up to you of course, oh wise and powerful GM but how about it, think we can meet halfway?

@Kuroneko Sounds good to me, welcome aboard the Black Dirk.

@WilsonTurner He still seems really over powered and a bit out of our league to be honest. why would a master hacker with access to so much bother to serve aboard a lone pirate ship?

@WilsonTurner
Fair enough

@Midori
Every time the Navy gets close to finding him, he has to go underground and wait it out for a long while, and avoid drawing attention to himself. The Black Dirk may have been his best bet- he has a crew of people all working to keep themselves- and him- out of the Navy's hands.

• Organ thefts-90 counts

Crap, no wonder she's an enemy of the Terran federation XD

@GodOfWar
Church Organs

Whats the estimate for when the IC will start up?

@Emma 2277

I made another one...just because...

@Zetsuko
78 fleet victories would be over the top, much less 783.

If you have 783 victories, and your character is 37 years old, then that means your character has had a battle roughly ever 16 days- every other week, more or less- for his entire life.

Let's say he enlisted when he was 18, and completed everything at 22. That means 25 years of active service. This means your character has fought and won a battle every 11 days.

That's ridiculous.
At least my character has lived far, far longer than he should've.

That, and a dreadnought is a type of ship a step about a cruiser- a battleship was a type of superdreadnought, I believe. A Dreadnought-class cruiser is like saying a Cruiser-class frigate.

@Emma 2277

Confusion???? ...Is this code for something?? BBGG

@Zetsuko Are we allowed to have more then one character!!?? YAY

**EDIT - Sorry for the double post.

@WilsonTurnerMeh, dreadnaughts in space, completely different story, I'm pretty sure you could find that most sci-fi games, movies, etc. would have dreadnaughts as their heaviest ships (or super-carriers in terms of Halo, but shush.) As for a battle every 11 days, if the nation is in consistent war, I could believe that a battle occurred more than every 11 days, possibly an engagement twice a week. A battle doesn't have to be a fleet on fleet engagement, any form of engagement between his ship or a ship he commands vs. another would be a battle, even just one of his scout ships against a pirate boarder or something of that sort would be recorded in a file as its own battle.

Also, considering joining. I might get a CS up in the future.

@Emma it's a year, we're not getting this rp till 2277.

@Emma it's a year, we're not getting this rp till 2277.

I'm guessing this is que for someone to make a time-lord character, Tis our only hope.

@MrMinerGuy142
Dreadnoughts are not a kind of battleship.

You said 'fleet engagements.' That sounds as if it was a fleet versus fleet engagement.

Also, no pirate would be stupid enough to stick around long enough for a fleet to get close and eliminate them- same with a scout or smaller fleet. When faced with overwhelming force and no certain restrictions on technology, any ship or fleet will jump or warp out ASAP.

783 engagements where weapons were required is ludicrous, especially in space. Space is not a two-dimensional area, where you can go into a new area, open up a spy glass and see anything else nearby because it's outline shows up on the outline- not at all! In space, a three-dimensional vastiness of nothin'ness, people with advanced stealth technology- which pirates are more likely to have, rather than giant battleships, if the zones are actively patrolled by the Navy- could be behind you, below you, above you, to your left, to your right, and anywhere from one kilometer away to several hundred lightyears away.

The simple fact is, 783 engagements on a waterbourne navy would be pressing it a bit. 783 engagements on a spacebourne navy would be even more wild.

Go play World of Warships- that is a 2-dimensional battle. you can only go north, south, east, and west. Same with the enemy. Now, use your guns, and fire randomly. The chances are very, very, very little that a random shot will hit an enemy ship. Now make that map a billion times larger, or even more than that, because space is just that big, and then pretend that those shots you have can travel a hundred times longer, three times faster than before. The likeliness that you will hit anything is even less as large.

You can't just show up at a moment's notice, of course. No fleet can mobilize instantly, even if it was on red alert. By the time you get there, which can be anywhere from several hundred kilometers away, still in orbit around the same planet, to several hundred lightyears away, into the orbit of a completely different planet in a completely different solar system, it's very likely that the pirates, scouts, or whatever else that was sighted had already left.

That, and pirates would likely have jamming equipment, or fire on communications arrays to prevent ships from transmitting.

Now, I'm terribly sorry that I'm doing this, but I think it's really quite needed, because it's really quite ludicrous.

Your character is in engagements mostly with pirates with scouts. Except... the military doesn't count a General's engagements by how many battles he has fought, and his underlings have fought on their own. That being said, it's also very unlikely that he's won every single engagement. Scout ships are lightly armed, lightly armored, and very fast and manueverable- their purpose is, as their name suggests, to scout and collect intelligence. An actual pirate ship versus an actual scout would like end with the scout's burning ruins, or with one or the other warping away.

So no, I refuse to see that your very young character has had such an amount of battles he's been through, and it's not of military custom to count a man's battles by the ones he fought, plus the ones all his underlings fought without his presence. Now if he said, "There's a military force, Battle Group C go around and attack from behind, improvise as needed," then the battle where rushes the Enemy A, with his Battle Groups A through C, that would be counted as one battle. If a scout around the outskirts of battlegroup is attacked by a pirate ship, and the scout flees, it is not a victory. If the scout somehow beats the pirate ship, then the scout's victory isn't marked under the general's resume.

Edit: I believe you are wrong, and unless I get a rational, realistic answer as to why it is so, and how it is so, then I refuse to accept your character as realistic or legitimate.

@WilsonTurner You are not the GM, you have no reason to judge anyone's CS or post.
