The Nomad, a sci-fi epic.

@Fury Panda An interesting species, however i feel that its unrealistic to assume that a 20ft octopi can squeeze into an 8ft space suit. Would it not be easier to just have them grow up to 8ft long? I feel like having an ability to pop out an extra 12 ft could become a bit overpowered and confusing for other roleplayers is all. If you reduce their height to 8ft then your species is accepted! :)

Wow, I read through the Nomad's ability and my impression is that they are powerful as F (no offense, I like powerful adversaries). I mean, powerful units, great minds. How to defeat them is the thing I will have to speculate a lot when I get into this. Now this is fun.

@Conscripts

Yeah i was gunning for powerful Luckily it was taken off line in the final battle for Earth. At least thats what we've been told.

I can confirm the IC opening post is being started as of this evening people! Re-read the OOC OP, fine tune your character and prepare what you're going to open with.

More vehicle examples, just to give you a sense of the tech we'll be interacting with:

Colony multi-purpose vehicles

A private spacecraft

A general purpose Demeter Transport

An ice patrol rig

My plan is eventually to write up a complete list of common colony and UWG vehicles.

Morning all, just a quick update on my to-do list for today:

• Finish Nomad tab
• Post my primary character sheet
• Begin collaborating on the IC OP with @Ozymandias

@Catharyn

Hello! I was wondering if their is still room for this. If so, is it possible to make a character that "Has no connection" to the Naval Intelligence Department, but is secretly working for them? He just happened to be on the Moon base when this all goes down doing "work".

@Thecrash20

Its worth bearing in mind that if you were for instance a hired killer or black bag infiltrator that Naval Intelligence paid as an 'asset' - on a contract by contract basis - that would also work.

Hi, I'm interested in joining this RP and really am digging the lore you've created. This would be my second RP, the other being a short lived stormtrooper campaign in Star Wars.

Would the best way to join be to create a character for you to look at and give the okay?

@Fury Panda

Great! Yeah feel free to bounce ideas off us

<Snipped quote by Catharyn>

when it comes down to it, the ship's guns plus improvised armament of the other bots and themselves should be more than enough firepower. hopefully. I'll probably add the mini-guns in the Ghost EVA unit's image to their description to compensate as well. I should probably also make it clear how many of them there are, which is about 140. collectively they would weigh about as much as 4 humans I think

edit: also might add dog sized

"Tearer" drones

@DracoLunaris

Yeah i'd think they have enough machinery to make it work somehow. Cool, add their weight and the other bits to the char tab when you get a minute :)

@DracoLunaris I understand the tribe's need for something to defend themselves, are their needs adequately met in this area? If you want i can work with you on a replacement for the Scissor drones?

Yeah, there's a lot of military characters :P not a bad thing, but slightly limiting. Loken is technically kind of a bridge between the civilian and military departments for GM reasons

@Ozymandias

It is to be expected really. The UWG was on total war footing which meant conscription on a planet-by-planet basis depending on their situation. As individual worlds are pretty much free to run themselves as they see fit provided they adhere to UWG legislation, there will be a lot of variation on how they prepared to face The Nomad. The way to most accurately describe the UWG would be a planetary-scale melding of the EU and the UN. This probably worked against Humanity rather than for it when faced with an agile and extremely dangerous outside enemy.

@ihinka Sounds pretty good to me. We need civilian personnel to balance out the roster at this point in time.

@ihinka Hmm okay. Perhaps she's been put forward to help in the search and rescue effort? Its only 8 days after the final battle so its hard to say what kind of disarray the UWG would be in.

@CatharynYay, thanks I'm still not sure where to put her though... The master-at-arms and gunnery sergeant are kinda not working now with her being an alien and all... I would welcome ideas Also... I can be bothered to invent a ranking structure for the Explorers and Protectors if there is future interest in the species, just FYI... Or simply for the enrichment of the universe as well

@ihinka

Whereabouts is she located at the minute?

Morning all @Conscripts Let me read the PM you sent me and i can offer some insights based on that. I didn't get time yesterday as there were so many other things competing for my attention!

@DracoLunaris Good sheet! The one thing thats holding it back for me are the Scissor Drones; they're the only thing that seems kinda OP and the art style isn't consistent with the RP. If you're happy taking them out or changing the details the Eclipse tribe is accepted by me!

@ihinka Nice work, your character is accepted! I'll add the species to the accepted roster as well today.

@TheMadAsshatter Wow, great sheet! Its very well written and fits in perfectly up until the end. Although i'm changing the OP to reflect that the RP starts 8 days after the final battle of Earth, i'm still not sure that gives you time to help rebuild Rostov. The last two paragraphs may be better played out IC as the war has really only just finished. Once you've rectified those last two paragraphs your character is accepted!
