[OOC] Starships: The Infinity

[nerminator]

okay so I want to make a CS for this but I have a few questions

1 What are these "Aliens" Like?.
2 Why is the maximum age 29? On a average military the Maximum age to join is about 40, and also everyone leaves university around the age of 20 which means everyone would be a absolutely Fresh-out-of-college recruit who barely knows anything,

and space ships obviously cost a lot of time and money to build (unless they don't.) which means it would be stupid to hire fresh-out-space-academy people which could seriously jeopardize the ship

Also with a age restriction that low it seriously restricts the possible things people can RP as, like for an example a Battle-Hardened Veteran won't make sense if hes 29 years old

yeah question 2 is more of a rant than a question @Erklings25

@nerminator

I'm not a GM, but there is a semi-obvious answer to this. Without no fresh people, there would be no veterans, and therefore no military. Without a freshie being on a ship, they do not gain experience and do not turn into a veteran.

@nerminator
1 a mix of the Borg (from start trek) and the trolls on the Isle of silence (the first ever Avengers comic). So like cyborg blue trolls.
2 I made it 29 because I really do not shan't characters that are to old in the rp.
Plus I didn't know that
About the newbies, I thought it could be more interesting to see somebody who was fresh out of space school handle this stuff unlike a guy who has been in the military for a while (I.E Soloman).

Dude, this forum doesn't move that quickly, this isn't Gaia. If someone has commented on a thread within the past day, you don't need to bump it.

[nerminator]

@Erklings25 Okay thanks for the information,

@datadogie You are correct about, and I don't really know how to counter-argue that,

I made my character :D

If you wish to try to draw in more people, consider making a secondary interest check in the general interest checks page that links to this.

[Erklings25]

Ok. By the way I'm on holiday so I won't be online up to much.

[The15thSpycrab]

Is there going to be any ship-to-ship combat? Or only boarding and insertion missions?

[nerminator]

I'm hoping for Boarding and Insertion Missions due to the fact that most of us are soldiers

[The15thSpycrab]

@nerminator

Aye. I didn't want to make a pilot character or gunnery sergeant if there wasn't going to be any use for him.

[nerminator]

I feel my character will have more of a importance if we go with boarding, because in ship battles you can just transport random people to the stations medbay and have the more experienced people help him

But on a attack the Medical Soldier will be rushed, probably face assault from enemies, and have less supplies than a actual medbay and it will have a more Saving Private Ryan-esc feel were Medics do absolutely nothing besides /attempt/ to help people survive and fail constantly.

Also it will add SPACE DEPRESSION

[Erklings25]

Three would be use for a pilot but only if he had traing in some form of fighting.

[Primal Conundrum]

If he had more experience then he could also be useful as a general science officer (think Mordin from Mass Effect), but at 21 he wouldn't have that sort of practice.

Also, unless there's some reason otherwise in the bio, I think Alfred and Jack might get along really well. Both of them specialize in blowing the everliving blue fuck out of things, and a living mech is probably gonna try to stay on the good side of those who can repair her.

[Erklings25]

Can't wait for this to start!
