Fiddling around with ship details, if it ever becomes relevant. [+]

A former Harmonious Network bioship, albeit heavily modified- that is, destroyed, salvaged, and then hybridised with components of UFP origin to create an entirely new vessel. The LBPF spacecraft is effectively the engine of a much larger Network vessel with enough add-ons to make it functional and livable.

Capable of FTL travel and not much else, the vessel relies on a virtual particle pair propulsion system for thrust. An organic matrix at the prow of the ship interacts with the quantum substrate to 'project' a stationary field of charged particles ahead of the vessel, which are entangled with antiparticles captured in the three hollow 'wings' at the stern. While the projected particles can be moved, their captured siblings remain stationary relative to the ship, pulling it along as they try to meet and annihilate the forwards field.

Similar interactions power the vessel, which is capable of safely confining antimatter in the organoquantum matrix and reacting it with ordinary hadrons to release large amounts of energy. Due to its high energy density, antimatter isn't the most expensive fuel around, but the ship's crew have to live with the fact that they are ultimately flying the interstellar equivalent of a leaking propane tank. Better keep Giggles close at hand.

The antiparticle field projector system cannot adequately function outside of a relatively true vacuum. This means that the ship struggles to accelerate through interstellar clouds, or even too close to stars, let alone in atmosphere. Its pulling power, however, is considerable.

Mid-sized at about 250 metres long, the vessel nevertheless has very little interior space, by virtue of being a modified engine. It can support up to twenty people, albeit not for very long, or in any comfort whatsoever- It has a total of two bedrooms.

<Maybe more to come, maybe not.>

Love the upgrade to the OP!

Ok that sold it for me!
Love the upgrade to the OP!
Consider me interested.

Pleeeaaasssse take me in!
(Character is waiting on one more approval. Also I don't have discord.)

you're welcome

Secondly you could have a 'salvagers/Pirates/repossesors' license wich generally allows you to take anything not currently supervised and probably get around the law for doing so. (At worst we have to return it.)

"Licensing," said Giggles somewhere between Nova and the Valentine shop, "is the Devil's business."

next thing your all testosterone-y 'n' fighting for my feelings, getting yourselves killed.

Codenames don't sound too useful, given that a kegful of pirates isn't important enough or organised enough to spy on and I doubt we're the stealthy infiltration type ourselves. I'd steer clear of backstory-originating spacecraft before the group actually starts writing, too.

Maybe assets for new members are selected by the rest of the team, or at random (with discussion, obviously). Grab-bag skill additions suit the vibe. And are fun. And less prone to the abuse that comes with choice.

@Dark Light@ChickenTeriyaki Shameless advertising: Go check out the Harmonious Network thread. It's a sizeable project to character-populate a setting outside of Federation space. Quetz did a bunch of worldbuilding for part of it, the Myrlian Belt, which is shaping up to be an excellent setting to play around with piracy and revolution.

They need another head or two to get approved, hop to it.

Oh man. Sounds like you guys could use a ship's engineer, and his trusty Dog sidekick. I would love to join if you would have Colin and Hound.

" Oi, we don't take up much room, just a hammock in the matrix engine room. Hound don't shed too too much. I'm keen with my tools and I believe I can make this hurling propane tank a wee bit less leaky. Anything to get back on that sea of stars."

Also lets take on this mission as a team!

I bet our dudes could design some killer weapons together >:^3

"Can I pet your dog?"

Once a group is approved it will be granted a territory such as a planet or ship, but feel free to request something specific to your faction; just know you cannot take what others already have by doing this. This territory, like their power, belongs only to them. In it, they have complete say and dominion, able to use it as they see fit so long as they do not break the rules.
