[OOC] Fade: Space NRP-RPG fusion

Post done.

@Skylar It doesn't actually say as much in my post, but the assault carrier Dauntless is where Civitas is.

Posted!

@Queen Raidne thanks for putting the Commonwealth in there for me :3.

@Hael You could probably replace the current map with Raidne's updated version.

Making my ns now finally. It's probably not going to be the most detailed one because I wanna explore my own nation as time goes lol.

If that's ok off.

[Sigma]

Sounds interesting to me, although you'll have to ask @Hael

[Talis]

This looks fun. Might post an app this weekend.

[Lauder]

@Talis

Go ahead ^^

[Darkspleen]

So guys... how's life?

[TheSovereignGrave]

Pretty good, pretty good. Can't complain.

As for the RP, I'm working on a post now. Gonna be the ships arriving in the system with the Meknik colony, and then the second diplomatic mission popping into Confederate space. And then, of course, there's the collab I'm working on with Sigma. Though that one might end up being kinda long...

[Darkspleen]

So looking forward to seeing your post.

[Sigma]

@TheSovereignGrave Real sorry about that. I'll try to get this done faster.

[Darkspleen]

To be fair you do have a lot to respond to @Sigma.

[Talis]

Alright, I'm working on an idea I have, but I have a couple questions about tech, etc.

First off, what's the situation with Communications? Are long-range FTL communications a thing? Or are "Courier Ships" needed to pass news between star systems? If FTL communications are a thing are they instantaneous, or limited to the same 5 lightyears/day speed limit as ships? If it's not a thing, would it be a potential unique technology, e.g. quantum entanglers or warp transmission bouys?

Second, how do we feel about Warp Disruptors? I'm thinking a potential technology that using the same principles as a warp drive to create space-time ripples that would "pop" or disrupt warp bubbles within a radius of a couple AU. The obvious downside would be that it disrupts ALL warp in the areas, friendly and unfriendly, and you'd probably have to wait a while after turning it off to warp safely.

@Talis

Hm, that is a good question. We have not put too much thought in that, however, I think that it is up to you though I believe a majority of us just use FTL communications or something along those lines.

@Hael Any thoughts on this?

[TheSovereignGrave]

@TheSovereignGrave Real sorry about that. I'll try to get this done faster.

@Sigma

Nah man, it's no problem. You're kind of one of the focuses, since you kinda had several people all go like "Humans? Fuck yeah! Let's interact with those weird aliens!"

I'm paraphrasing, of course.

Seriously though, I don't have anywhere to take the Frostbiter! I've done all this foreplay but no where to shoot it! How free is the exploring in unclaimed space? 'Cus that's where I'm probably just gonna get the Frostbiter to wander between until they hit something.

@LloydTurquoise

Well to be fair nobody knows you're there, right? I mean, you still need 'first contact' right? You could just have an explorer pop in to another civilization's system and say 'howdy', right? :D

[LloydTurquoise]

@TheSovereignGrave
I know, I was joshing.
I got a post lined up with more politicking in mind, then we'll cut back to the gang on the Frostbiter getting into some shenanigans.

@LloydTurquoise

I was joshing too, really. Hence the ':D' at the end. :D

And neat, I like shenanigans; they're fun. But that reminds me that I still need to get my explorer sheet finished... I'd kinda forgotten about it.

[LloydTurquoise]

Everyone's Joshing!

[TheSovereignGrave]

Haha! New post up. And @Darkspleen and @Skylar, if you want the next post in our interactions to be a collaboration just send me a PM or something.
