I think using Insectoids means less culture confusion and better protection against intrigue.

Look out, lads! The Rotharian Hives and their minors are comming for ya!

@Brithwyr

Or perhaps you have some tech which blocks your emphaty to others?
Having telepathic link between all your forces is a considerable edge. If I were you I wouldn't waste it.

@Willy Vereb

Maybe. I mean, I have been planning on having that kind of technology for awhile; it was used by the scientists who created the first clone Simulacrum so that they didn't have to feel the thoughts and emotions of the clones they were experimenting on. And it wouldn't really matter in most cases, since they're not liable to fight other Simulacrum too much.

EDIT: Also, I think you quoted the wrong post there.

[Brithwyr]

Of course, the Hive uses minor alien races that dont have the Hive Mind, so there is something of a vulnerability in their forces.

[TheSovereignGrave]

Hey, so a question. Are we all going to start off with having had no contact with one another? And needing to establish first contact? Or will some species have met one another? Or is it just up to the individual players to figure that out?

@TheSovereignGrave

Probably the lat one.
Each player can decide how they want this. I know that my civ will be oblivious to everyone else in the beginning. I also know that if Ophidian still plays his and Keyguy's communists would be at each other's throats from the beginning.

[WrongEndoftheRainbow]

@Willy Vereb Want the first contact between my guys and the rest of the galaxy being "Woah shit we're the FEDS and we just detected a new star, where'd it come from it wasn't there before", go there and bam Galactic Class is disembarking the UU fleet.

@Willy Vereb

I don't think Ophidian's coming back. He seemed pretty final this time. :/

@TheSovereignGrave

*Crying*

He was gonna be such a good comrade too.

@TheSovereignGrave

It's the last one. The only contacts are those already set up by players, otherwise they're oblivious. Like my humans.

Also, yes, y'all can go ahead and start. Everyone who's posted their apps so far is accepted with the singular exception of @MissingAxis. Your app needs a bit more info on it, not that I don't trust you to meet the rp's standards (you past posts definitely do that). I just think the app needs to say a little bit more.

[MissingAxis]

@Keyguyperson Will do. I dunno if you'll be around when I edit some more stuff into it, but if you're not, I may just start posting anyway. Worst case scenario, my post gets retconned if the edits aren't approved of.

To anyone else, if you're interested in starting a first contact scenario tonight, let me know.

[Lucidnonsense]

Excellent! Now should I go for the insectoid hive mind or the ruthless caste empire?

@Brithwyr

Why are the Insects always given an evil hivemind? Where are the "Friendly" hiveminds and Anarcho Capitalist Insectoids who live as individuals in Mansions and a minefield in the front yard

[MissingAxis]

@Keyguyperson Updated.

[Keyguyperson]

@Keyguyperson Updated.

@MissingAxis

And accepted!

[MissingAxis]

@Keyguyperson Great. I'm glad it all made it through just fine.

Gonna throw together an IC post.

[WrongEndoftheRainbow]

@Willy Vereb So, want to collab about that idea I had?

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

Wouldn't work at all.
Federation is a bit of isolationist here and what good they get from meeting another very advanced race aside from pure conflict?
I'd rather start it with @Keyguyperson and other civs because the Federation was kinda made for reacting to classic space NRP factions in amusing ways.

@Willy Vereb

I'd be happy with you stumbling in on the Terran Union, especially since all the Terran ships have giant and obvious turrets pasted all over them complete with prominently displayed red markings. Also the super battleships with the giant holes in the front that definitely aren't shuttle bays. As another plus, the Chairman used to watch Star Trek.

"So they're the federation from Star Trek?"
"Yes."
"Huh, that's cool. They'll make good allies I'll be-"
"They're hyperconsumerists too."
"..."
"Chairman?"
"Didn't you say something about their ships not having any turrets?"
"Chairman no we haven't even rebuilt Earth fully yet."

[Lucidnonsense]

@Keyguyperson Great. I'm glad it all made it through just fine.

@MissingAxis

Im thinking perhaps at some point a (sentient) Solsys network probe/exploration ship might enter your territory and attempt to make contact, Would you be up for that?

[WrongEndoftheRainbow]

@keyguyperson You wanna make the first contact, then? I don't wanna make a filler post about a dude staring out a window at the Galactic Class's artificial dwarf star power source that lasts for fucking ever and doesn't contribute much.

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

How many lightyears away from earth is it and how long has it been in the galaxy?

[WrongEndoftheRainbow]

@Lucidnonsense Depends on who wants to make first contact, and it'll arrive in the first post I make of the UU, Also Keyguy, you never got back to me on if I could make another nation or not.
