Starship Commander frp

[Everblight]

I might jump in with a Cairn Class Tomb Ship.

The last time I checked, the only things still canon at this current time are the moves, clone wars animated series and the first novel released after the canon cut, with plans for other material to be reworked in at a later date.As for the star destroyer not being an Imperial class, it's hard to tell because the one at the start of Ep IV and ones later in the trilogy share very similar profiles. Even so, the Tantive IV comes in at around 150m. so for that ship to fit in the hanger, that bay would have to be around 175 m to comfortably fit the Tantive IV the way it did in the movie. Now looking at models of the Imperial II class, which fits both the outward and underside profiles of the EP IV Star destroyer, we see that the Star destroyer around 6 hanger bays long, putting the length at 1050m. Now because we are guessing some measurements based on screen appearances. this number could go up to 1200m if the hanger is 200m long, or it could drop to 960m if the hanger is 160m long I personally feel 175 is a nice number for the hanger as it falls into the middle ground of both possibilities.

Pretty sure it was described as a Victory. Also several books are NuCanon. Darth Vader, Kenobi, Tarkin(Isn't released yet I think), a New Dawn(Think that is it's name) and a couple more are all still canon.

As are all the schematic books IIRC. But I suppose for stuff like this one can chose whether to follow the movie universe or the EU. Kinda like with Marvel media, you can go with the Movie Universe or one of the many others.

If this is still going by the time my exams are done in a few weeks, I'd like to apply with a GTD Hectate from Freespace 2. I remember joining an RP like this a while back with a Colossus from the same universe, but interest waned after a few pages, the writing must have been a little to dense for some people, running an entire ship and that :( . Anyway, should be good. Subscribin'.

What are the rules on alliances, if I were to team up with a player from the start could we have different ships from the same universe.

[Veratisu]

Who do you plan to team up with eh

[Ronny477]

I don't know yet, I just wanna know if it's possible... I mean I wanna share the fun when I beat your ship into a pulp

[Veratisu]

You've got to catch me first... I don't see that happening.

You actually think Galactiac is faster than andromeda

[Veratisu]

My jump drive is only limited by my nav computer and you can't track my direction once I jump. It's not a matter of speed, it's a vanishing act.

and the fact that the Galactica FTL style is instant. With adequate calculating you could jump past planetary shields, hell the Galactica style FTL makes combat jumps useful. While most forms of hyperspace it isn't, as you jump behind someone you are facing the wrong way or need to take a wide arch to face their backsides with BSG Ftl you can jump around in battle effectively. Though I'd say a Mercury Class would be better with some of the ships going around, purely for missile spam, bow cannons and an even greater Viper/Raptor compliment.

@Veratisu

Now I've watched a good portion of Nubsg I understand what you are saying...

It shall be an interesting chase :)

[hamoflague]

Agreed, chasing an untracable jump drive will be interesting to say the least...

*TO THE WINDOW, TO THE WALL, THIS BATTLE WENT REAL POOR, CAN'T FIND BIG G AT ALL*

[mattmanganon]

Don't worry guys, i'll settle this entire argument by bringing in either a Scimitar-class Warbird or a Retribution-class Battleship (A.K.A. 12 screaming miles of FUCK YOU!!!"

One of them is known for looking at a Hive fleet and saying "Don't worry, guys, i've got this" before soloing it. The other is capable of firing under cloak.

[Veratisu]

Note to self, keep jump drives spooled at all times.

[Veratisu]

We have 9 people. is this going to happen or is this going to fall by the wayside

That.

Ditto this

Sorry for the wait, been busy with IRL stuff. I'll be posting the rp and OOC thread this week, although I won't be as active as I planned so I'm getting Veritisu to help run the RP while I'm dealing with things.

I've looked at the ships and I have to say right now these are ridiculously OP for this frp. The Scimitar Warbird because of a) It's perfect cloak b) It's weapon of Mass Destruction (turns the crew to stone, so essentially a one shot kill) c) It can fire under cloak and leave no visible weapon fire and d) It can still be a tank if it loses it's cloak.

The Retribution is less OP, but still very worrisome as it can fight off a fuckton of ships with ease meaning if it became an issue with other players, I'd have to throw a bunch of ridiculously OP ships to even have a chance at evening the playing field (e.g. damage the shields so it only has a percentage of what it started with or taking out a bunch of your guns so you can't wipe fleets with ease).

Unfortunately I can't accept either ship because of how powerful they are. Even if I permitted all ships with no restrictions, you'd be the clear winner as you have no weaknesses. Plus the point of the frp is mainly to have fun while settling an age-old debate on a hopefully level playing field. So I'm asking that you either change the ship or change universe entirely.

Now on a side note, when this frp starts, I'm permitting respawns when you lose a ship BUT it has to be a different universe to the one you last used and anyone that tries to suicide just to get their ship back won't have access to the ship for a while and if it continues, they'll be booted from the frp.

Hope everyone has a good week and I look forward to the stories you guys will tell us.

Seems legit
