[OOC] The Galactic Ocean

[Empty Fate]

Yeah, small strike teams with a bit of air support seems the best option. Only Pask and Suno seem to be more suited to air combat than ground. More people with starfighters just means that when combat isn't on the ground, we have more of a fighting chance than just the Vigilance's weapons systems. That said, Drew's more about maintenance and keeping everything working as a tech expert, so it's not too likely he'll be rushing into combat. I figure more often than not, he'll end up being left with the ship. =P I won't be starved for lack of things to do, even if nobody else is there, he can even act as a liaison for status updates along with the ship AI. That said, first impressions over, Drew is definitely already favoring certain members.

@Empty Fate

Oh? and what members? I'm jealous of whoever it is already

[Avanhelsing]

Like Jack could fight to save his life! *laughs like crazy* Yah I'm leaving him on the ship cause he can't fight and he can't leave his lab often. The dog isn't enough. Maybe he'll go on like recon or talking to civilians but that's it.

[Inuyasha]

My character will definitely be grounded, no doubt about it

[Empty Fate]

Don't get me wrong, Drew can still shoot -- just most his experience is in deals gone bad, and street shootouts -- not combat against trained soldiers. So it's quite likely he'll drag a team down, and he's gonna be honest about that if someone asks. If another body is necessary, or he's needed for something on the ground besides fighting, he'll have no problem going. He's just going to try to avoid combat as much as possible.

@Inuyasha

Haha, you'll see. He'll certainly be less apprehensive when dealing with people he feels more comfortable around.

Ro has trouble understanding the team because she feels cut off Among her people her caste serve as the combat link and commanders. Her telepathy is powerful enough to link the entire team together as a unit allowing them communications that can't be detected or hacked; oh no worries about her covertly scanning any thoughts you aren't presently thinking (such as those comments you post openly that your character is thinking) She would have to be ordered by higher command to scan anyone forcibly because she was taught that non telepathic races minds are an unclean nest of lies and impure thoughts. She doesn't trust anyone of you but in combat will defend you if you are in danger and she is able to respond effectively. She's prejudiced of course but only because she's been taught her own superiority; hell even among her own caste she's been taught she's superior and has been since birth.

[Inuyasha]

Hypothetical question here; if Rose were to pilot the ship would he still participate in ground missions?

@Inuyasha

Probably not, unless the ship is docked/grounded.

[Mike Wasowski]

Hey late to the OOC party but Silas would most definately be more suited for ground combat. He can make them ultra long distance kills. Also I love everyones characters so far. I must also mention I'm super new to roleplaying. As in so new this is my first one on a forum. I have only previously roleplayed in person with friends. So never had to type anything out. Feel free to give me some pointers. :)

[TheYouthPastor]

I'm very happy with the cast so far. Very interesting and unique characters. I've already got ideas swirling around in my head, but I wont ruin any of that here! I plan to participate mostly in ground missions. My plan for the shuttle was only if we encounter space battles and dogfights.

[Mike Wasowski]

LOL at ori's last post!!

[Inuyasha]

I think it would be better if Rose was on the ground, mostly because I would enjoy it more. Unless there are any objections. I'm going to quickly shower and then get an IC post up and then off to bed.

@Inuyasha

Nah man no issue if you don't want it, worst case no one wants it then I have to create a NPC pilot character.

[Inuyasha]

IC post is up. I'm off to bed you smashing gents ~

[RumikoOhara]

Question: Is Ro'Essel's Omega Talent going to be an open bit of information or is it between her and the Captain only I can understand if it's the latter because she basically a planet killing nuke; oh an no worries if in the future you see the need to kill her off for dramatic effect

@RumikoOhara

Only her and the captain.

[Tatsua Aiisen]

Mmm, I can't deal with casts this big. I'll be withdrawing my interest~

[SillyGoy]

@Tatsua Aiisen That's fair. I'm having trouble as well.

@Heat

You might not even have to create a completely new NPC if nobody wants it. If all we're looking for is a pilot for while the crew is on a ground mission, we could pull a mass effect and say we give access to the ship's navigational systems over to the AI and program it with some sense of preservation for itself and the crew. I don't think it'd be too far a stretch to say Drew might be able to do that with his research into cybernetics, especially with an AI that's had individual thought programmed into it already on the crew - and especially if she has access to any of her father's data. 's up to you, though. Might be a bit far-fetched. I'll wait to finish my IC until Catharyn posts, though. Cause if she wants to pilot, that whole idea is moot. :P

[RumikoOhara]

I feel bad when people bow out
