I'm leaning towards a hive mind with innate magical potency that uses entirely organic vessels and tools. We breed our ships.

Hmmm... Actually half-tempted to basically just make the Federation but not sure how well that would work out. ^^; But that would mean having to play the diplomacy game which is less fun than being a bloodthirsty alien warlord. XD But then someone's got to be the goody-goods I guess. Hmmm...


Bloodthirsty alien warlord doesn't require you to be a full jerk. There some things you cannot fight alone. ;)

Number 3 is a limit on magic. I have had more troubles with technology in the past then I have, hence why there is more restrictions. I also threw in the last line for a reason, in case more issues with magic were ever to arise.

And that is a speed limit, not a restriction on the types of FTL that may be used.
Planetary radius is pretty huge. Does it mean we can have tech that blows up planets? I think spell radius is about the least which needs balancing.

As for FTL, you may allow lower interpretations I bet but I mean methods that work entirely differently from the rest. You remember my slow but constantly on warp drives, right?
Also I hope instant communication doesn't also mean instant sensor speed because that means infinite detection range. I am sure you meant something less over the top. Just warning on its implications. I like FTL sensors and they are the only way for space opera style battles. So this part is kinda not relevant.
Still, I am the last guy to call for more rulings but these rules don't prevent people making ridiculous factions but may prevent fun loving bening players to do their thing.
Can't you just try to measure each faction as they are made? Many NRP games in other sites have technology and war mods for regulating tech or military alone. You don't need to carry this burden on your own.

Anyways, I have 4 ideas:
- White Corps, Star Trekish faction but with megacorp like mega capitalist structure
- Morte, small nation with troubled past filled with wars
- Martians, War of the Worlds combined with a bit of oldschool sci-fi
- Militaris Sine Finis, a tiny faction of mercenaries taking soldiers from any part of the galaxy

Sensors are not instant. Instant Communication only means two linked points are capable of contacting each other without delay.

Edit:Spells have a planetary radius is going off the assumption that someone plans to have a technological based planet destroyer.

I think that was the least important part of my question.
We can perhaps make quantum entanglement based instant transmission common. So there's a way to get two attuned devices to make instant message transmissions.
Perhaps you may even extend this to a quantum gate system which may have strategic significance.
Remember how e always had problems with the galaxy being too big and what solution we came up with last time?
There you go.

The thing is I played with the same rules and laws in Andromeda and that was quite successful for a while.

Well, these aren't the same rules for sure but if yes then there aren't any obstructions to make my factions. So I'm cool with that. But if we follow the rules you made to the letter that's not the case.
Anyways, the quantum gates was the idea to make these vast distances less jarring.
You know, trillions of planets yet owning more than a few dozen of them being too much. As you remember we tried that in your game not long ago.
Anyways, Andromeda was successful for the people in it, not the rules. If anything it only had rules on paper. I don't trying to turn this into an argument. Just stating facts.

OOC first, then if they are accepted you can move to them to dump/char tab.

Just throwing my opinion in here, but I'd love to see Morte.

I liked them a lot, too.
Actually, all of those factions are tons of fun to play.
As for Morte for those not familiar with the Andromeda NRP they were a Krieg-like faction from 40k living on an irradiated death world assaulted by hostile alien civilizations who went crazy from the radiation. The closeness of death and struggle for survival changed their mentality to be pragmatists who thought little of death or personal joy. They knew a lot about war and while technologically inferior their application was frightening on the military equipment. In spite of that they aren't seeking fights, they just want to survive and prosper. They are a small tough civilization but a minor one regardless. Basically if you expect them to attack and burn all on sigh you are wrong. They actually engage in diplomacy as much as they could, when they could. They are pretty good allies once you get past the whole extreme pragmatist thing.
