Dear everyone: it might be useful to have some sense of scale on these ships, so what are our thoughts on including a length section on the character sheet?

I didn't originally include it because I didn't want to have too many technical fiddly bits getting in the way of, you know, actually RP'ing. :P

Announcement #2: We've got some powerful ships out here. More powerful than I had originally envisioned.

I like powerful ships, but I fear if we keep them as-is, we'll render the smaller ships (such as the Intrepid (Mr Rage) or Pale Quiver (Spybuster)) irrelevant. Therefore, I've asked some of you to tone down your ships somewhat.

On a completely unrelated note, I was having the damnedest time trying to decide which ship to go with (that's why the example sheet took so long, fyi). Part of me wanted to go with something from Stargate; another part of me wanted to do something based on the Red Alert 2 universe, and the rest of me was pulled in so many directions - a homebrewed ship of appearance-obsessed greenskinned aliens, Space Station 13, something from Pulsar, BSG -! There are so many fun options!

Anyway.

~~~~~~

@Silentsniper211
I started watching Red vs. Blue and loved it, actually. I always thought it would be stupid with the kind of humor I don't appreciate, but it wasn't! I was so pleasantly surprised! Then classes started up again, and I had to stop. I'll add it to my list of things to watch after or between Stargate episodes - which I'm re-watching for the third time (in in-universe chronological order).

God, I love Stargate.

I digress.

Sooo many people on that ship. Trim it down by a factor of ten or so, and that will probably be reasonable, simply by average ship crew complement for this RP.

Also, I'd recommend going back over your Universe Background section. The first few sentences didn't quite make sense, especially "The Human race was interested in the rapid expansion of the . as more planets were colonised".

Side note: have you been watching Firefly recently? I, like, totally got a Firefly vibe from your universe description.

I also like the dualism inherent in the military ship converted to science cruiser concept. That'll be fun for us to play with.

@Ryker Rohrer
"Ghost Hunter". ...what! That sounds wicked fun! How did - I have so many questions - how did you start!? Are you terrified of ghosts? Where do you usually operate? Also, hello! Welcome to the forums!

Starcraft! Squee!
...I know it's not Starcraft, but you used a Starcraft picture for your ship and that made me inordinately happy!

That is large. Now my poor Soviets feel inadequate, too. No biggie, every RP needs power adjustments as character sheets come in. I recommend toning the ship down slightly - I get that it's the flagship of a galaxy, but as it is, there doesn't seem to be any way to challenge the ship or the crew. And without challenge, we've got no story.

Specific things I noticed

First, note that I'm pointing these out with the purpose of increasing fun. I'm aiming for constructive criticism, not to tear apart your idea.

• maximum crew of 70000: Just to keep ships on an approximately even level, I recommend cutting this by a factor of ten, although I understand you don't have the full 70,000 on board.
• [ship capabilities]: It's got great defense, normal weapons and a special weapon, it's fast, and it's got full crew facilities. What's its downside? The ship is made for battle, so perhaps it's terrible for keeping up crew morale? I can see some interesting psychological angles here, actually, especially if the crew has to undergo the pressures of constant battle for 300 years. There's gotta be some PTSD-like things cropping up, and people changing and cracking under pressure. And it's the Flagship, so I have to imagine that it's also used for the Galactic Empire-Equivalent of ribbon-cutting ceremonies, which means everything has to be spotless most of the time, which means hours and hours of a warship's crew... cleaning. Yaaayyy military.
• "said to be unbeatable by any": I get the difference between reputation and actual fact, but I wonder how that will stack up in an RP setting. Obviously the Dilonian isn't unbeatable, but does her crew know that? Have they become cocky? And don't be afraid to let your crew lose, even if they've had to only take a tactical retreat before returning fully-repaired and ready to rip the Killians a new one. Flavor and variety is the spice of life, or at least RP characters.
• Characters - They all seem perfect at their jobs. Again, that makes some sense; it's the flagship, so they'd want the best of the best. But, the thing that makes the best the best is their talents despite their flaws; certainly, flaws are a major part of what makes a character interesting to interact with in an RP. I guess I'm just not getting a great sense of personality, but then again, personality is often one of those things that comes through far more readily within the RP itself.

...drat. Doing this is making me want to go back and edit my sheet now. It's the curse of analyzing writing!

@Mr Rage
Nooooooo your store that's so sad! Good luck! What'd you think of the new Star Trek movie - or have you watched the new movies at all? I personally liked it. I really appreciated the love interest for Scotty, and I also adore how the actors have made the characters their own.

heehee... Albert Pegg, perhaps in reference to Simon Pegg? I don't care; it's canon in my head now.

Accepted! Go post your sheet in the characters tab.

@Lucidnonsense Sure! A habitat would be fine. Part of me wanted to throw DS9 or Babylon 5 into the mix, but I refrained. Crazy soviets seem more entertaining to me.

*googles "Eclipse Phase"*

Players take part in a cross-faction secret network dubbed Firewall that is dedicated to counteracting "existential risks" — threats to the existence of transhumanity, whether they be biowar plagues, self-replicating nanoswarms, nuclear proliferation, terrorists with WMDs, net-breaking computer attacks, rogue AIs, alien encounters, or anything else that could drive an already decimated transhumanity to extinction.

WHAT. That sounds DELIGHTFUL. Where has this been my whole tabletop career?!

@Hostile
Gaming? Computer or tabletop? If computer, do you have thoughts on No Man's Sky? If tabletop, have you ever played Paranoia? And what reading genre - sci-fi, I presume? Ever read the Commonwealth series by Peter F. Hamilton? It's my favorite series. I love how he takes 12 different characters with unrelated plotlines and then suddenly relates them all in a brilliant conclusion - except, wait, no, you've still got 300 pages to go, and how could it possibly get better and bigger and more climactic and then it does and squee~

Ahem.

Yay, you went for Titan! I like how much more sense Titan makes than even Mars to a degree. I mean, at least Titan's got an atmosphere. sidenote: screw you, cosmic radiation. Screw. You.

Like I've mentioned to Silentsniper211 and Ryker Rohrer, please decrease your crew complent by a factor of 10. That way Mr Rage's Intrepid isn't totally overwhelmed by the sheer volume of people. I think you're probably fine beyond that? It's very hard to tell what's OP and what's not before a game actually starts, especially when it comes to military ships. If you want to be safe, you could tone down the ships armament slightly, but I'll leave it up to you.

Nikolai and my entire ship are going to get along swimmingly. Or they'll hate each other. I don't think there's anything in between the two possibilities.

@Spybuster Ooh! What's your major? Have you had any horrible death classes yet? I have! Dynamics was hard. And before that, so was Differential Equations. I picked a hard major. I mostly don't regret it, though. Have you used Yik Yak? Are you annoyed at its destruction of anonymity features as I am with its latest update? It's so silly! The app was based on anonymity! Why would they get rid of it? Also do you do theater? I do theater. Or did. I'm trying to get back into it. I'm rambling; sorry, it's 4am.

Aww, your ship is tiny and adorable! Seriously, though, you may want to consider upping your crew complement. By no means feel obligated to! Just something to consider.

Accepted! Go post your sheet in the characters tab.

Teaser

"I've lost thrust control," the pilot said. The captain glared at the main viewscreen - the wormhole was getting larger; his ship was accelerating.
"Bridge, Science."
"Go ahead," the captain said via intercomm.
"Our models show the wormholes gravitic pull will increase by a factor of sixteen in local space."
"Thank you, Science." The captain took the time to check the bridge crew's faces. They seemed level-headed, cool and competent. A few of them met his gaze, gaining reassurance from his mask of calm competence. 'Just act like you've got a plan,' he thought.
"Red alert. Helm, idle thrust. Take us in," he said.

There was a small shove seatward as the ship's acceleration changed. They passed into the distorted mirror-like mouth of the wormhole. Space stretched before him on the viewscreens, stars stretching into lines and whorls of color seeping into the cracks. Aft cameras displayed their last image of home space - a rapidly shrinking fisheyed distortion. The ship shudders and groans as it traverses the wormhole. Tortuous shapes shift unendingly around the ship.

"We've lost star tracking," Astrogation reported.
"Helm, take us underneath that column," The captain said. The ship barely avoids scraping its paint as the unnatural shape suddenly flares to twice its size.
"Science, Bridge," the captain radioed."This is Science."
"Any theories on what these things are?" Science hesitated.
"Our guess is that we're seeing successive 3D slices of 4D shapes. No way to tell if they're alive, or echoes of conventional matter in this wormhole."
"Are they dangerous?"
"Well, I wouldn't run into them. Sir."
"...thanks."
"I'm getting faint radar echoes. There might be other ships in here with us," Sensors reported.

Space suddenly flopped back into pre-established shapes. They were out.

"Star tracking is back online. We're... 1.2 million lightyears from our previous position. In... intergalactic space, sir," Astrogation said.

The port and starboard viewscreens were showing two different "nearby" galaxies. Ahead, the view didn't seem remarkable, until scale reasserted itself. Each star - each little white dot - was a galaxy, so far away that its collected radiative output looked, to the captain, like a star.

He had to force himself to breathe again.

"New contacts! Ships off the starboard bow!" Sensors said.

Posts #1-10

-The Romanova arrives. It's taken some damage - notably the tesla coils are offline. They deploy cosmonauts in a defensive formation before broadcasting (via basic radio) that they are armed, but willing to be peaceful if everyone else is.

-The Forward Spear arrives shortly after (if not simultaneously), far from the Romanova. It has taken damage to the engines and reactor, with some crew casualties. They decide to come about and hold position.

-Next up is the Helios, which arrived via Stargate malfunction, materializing out of thin air. It took some pretty bad damage - no shields, venting atmosphere, questionable-at-best weapons, and no hyperdrive. They send out an all-frequencies comm burst indicating who they are and that they do not want hostilities.

-Next comes the Oblivion, which scraped against some things in the wormhole, opening up engineering. They aim their main sensor array at the Romanova and broadcast their identity and peaceful intent over UHF radio.

-Then the Paramont arrives, having gotten thrown from their RIFT tunnel. It has sustained damage - two particle cannons are offline, some drones are inactive, shields are at 77%, the RIFT drive is down, and a sector isn't responding. They power up weapons, and broadcast an all-channels hail identifying themselves and asking everyone else to identify themselves.

-Then the Pale Quiver arrives. Their Star-Seer is already injured, and the Battlemaster expresses discontent with the current Captain. They decide to ready their soldiers while opening up a channel and broadcasting their identity and vowing to remain peaceful unless otherwise provoked.

-Next comes the Intrepid via wormhole. It sustained very little damage, and unfurls itself from compact orb into a large ring. Via every method of communications available, they offer emergency repair services and goodwill.

-Next up is the Spirit of Wind. They arrive via wormhole, escaping a heatdeathed _{{can we please make heatdeathed a word now?}} universe. After rebooting, they realize that they need to learn to speak these languages. Their ship is dead in the water and registers no organic lifesigns.

-Then comes the Wayward Step, which arrived via hyperdrive misuse. The crew is running around, trying to figure out how to work their ship, which is, in turn, trying to teach them. This means that weapons are currently offline for about 10 minutes. They maintain distance from everyone, probably hoping to finish the download before things start happening.

-Finally, the Vorascent arrives, expecting to land in a battle situation in a colonial system. The psionics are disturbed by the lack of other psionics. They broadcast, via radio, their identity and peaceful intent.

-The Romanova sends a message to the Paramount, stating that the Paramount's government doesn't exist but the Romanova will overlook that. The Romanova also messages the Helios so that they can send an envoy over to figure out how the United States could've survived GWIII. Finally, the Romanova proposes a meeting of all ship captains on another ship.

-The Paramount responds with annoyed words at the Romanova. Then they broadcast less-annoyed words at the Romanova, in Russian. Finally, the Paramount offers to host the Conference to Figure Out What The Heck Happened.

-The Oblivion aims sensors at the Spirit of Wind and agrees to meet at the Paramount, as well as send shuttles to other ships to pick up diplomatic delegations.

-The Intrepid fisxes one of their broken repair arms and sends over a delegation to the Paramount.

-Onboard the Paramount, Doctor Travesty interacts with LARS, a telepathic android.

-The Helios assesses damage: hyperdrive can be repaired, but power conduits are a problem. The asgaurd weaponry are offline, the missile control circuitry has problems, and life support and the generators are terrifyingly broken. The crew believes that the Spirit of Wind could be a replicator ship, one of the crew's enemies. The Helios accepts the Romanova's proposed meeting. ...both of them, provided the Paramount's shields are lowered. They think there's some alternate-reality craziness happening here, and have a way out... if only they had a stargate.

-The Vorascant decides to send their Captain to the meeting.

-On board the Paramount, the AI has managed to figure out what the other ships look like and can do. [this is great reading if you don't like trawling the character sheets, by the way]. They then launch some escorts for the incoming diplomatic transports, as well as some marines for the hangars.

-On the Pale Quiver, their navigator is still unconscious thanks to psychic stresses from the wormhole. The captain is pleased that the other ships aren't acting like the jerk outsiders from their home universe. They agree to the meeting, bringing some fancy tea, provided that someone can give them a shuttle. Finally, they decide to pull the Quiver alongside the Spirit for a boarding scout mission once the Captain has been provided with a shuttle.

- Aboard the Paramount sends a dropship to the Pale Quiver. Then the Captain goes to the hangar bay and meets with the marine commander. There's some cool detail, here.

• Roleplay ships stranded in intergalactic space by a wormhole!
• Pull ships from your imagination or fiction!
• Exciting developments when the wormhole periodically re-opens!
• Decide your own long-term goal!

This is, essentially, a fish-out-of-water story (that's fish plural, not fish singular). Our fish are literally outside their galaxies, but they're also meeting with alien ways of thinking and doing things. The fun comes from seeing what happens when, say, a technological cult of militant cynics meets a cooperative bunch of peaceful explorers. Or the image of an engineer scratching his head on seeing a slightly different solution to FTL travel that shouldn't be possible. Or a pilot, gleefully flying a (to her) extremely graceful alien fighter. Or two communications officers exchanging love letters via sub-ether radio as their captains slowly move toward open hostilities.

Ideally, this is all a vehicle for some fun exploration, alien diplomacy, perhaps some conflict, technology exchange, and banding together in difficult circumstances. I plan for there being an initial encounter/get-to-know-everyone/(form alliances?) period, and then the wormhole will open up, dropping something interesting into the mix - a planet, a station, a spacetime anomaly, a space whale, some hostile ships, a weapon, some fuel, or plans for an intergalactic warp drive that may or may not work, for example.

• Have suggestions on things to pop out of the wormhole? Suggest away!
• Please post at least once a week. If there's extenuating circumstances, please, let us know in the OOC! Since much of this RP is dependent on player-to-player interaction, a missing player is a big deal.
• Speaking of which, this is going to be something of a commitment (again, this is because the story will be driven primarily by player-to-player interaction). Honestly ask if you can see yourself playing this RP a month from now before you apply.

Example Sheet

||Something Interesting About Myself: I'm studying aerospace engineering at Case Western Reserve University. It's harder than I thought, but I still want to do it.
||Ship Name: N1-B Romanova
||Universe Background: The Romanova is from the Red Alert 2 universe. In it, Einstein went back in time to kill Hitler and stop World War II. Iteration two of WWII (now known as the "Great War II") has, instead, Stalin rising up in Hitler's abscence and invading western Europe. The Allies eventually win GWII, and install a puppet president in Russia. Eventually Russia gets pissed off enough to seek revenge, and they do so in the 70's by invading the United States (the global leader at that point), kicking off GWIII. The U.S.S.R. loses GWIII, too, however, a traitor within their midst takes advantage of the global chaos to take control of the world via mechanically-assisted psychic powers. The allies planned to use their time machine to go back and prevent this from happening; however, the remnant soviet forces managed to hijack the time machine at the last second. In this latest and final iteration, the Soviets not only managed to prevent Yuri from taking over the world, but also turned GWIII around, crushing the Allies completely.

In short, the Soviets have obtained a glorious victory, ensuring humanity's path to the stars was entirely free of any capitalist chains. In the fifteen years since, the Soviets have built the N1-B Romanova, taking advantage of captured enemy technology to create the world's first interstellar ship.
||Crew Complement: 600
||Ship Description:

Bare

Annotated

The Romanova is based off of old Soviet designs for a moon rocket. She's an unreliableperfectly safe anachronism stew; nearly zero readouts are digital, the radar scopes are green, and the energy guns are powered by tesla technology. It has been hastilyflawlessly retrofitted with enemyvisionary Soviet designs and technologies created in GWIII. The vessel is armed with modified Tesla technology that spew a stream of ionized plasma at a target before following up with several thousand volts of electricity. While their range isn't particularly great, the combined EMP and thermal effects are significant. Furthermore, it has several space-modified machine guns and six missile silos, including twelve nuclear warheads. She's propelled by 30 fission fragment rockets, which literally propel themselves by spewing out hot radioactive materials that recently underwent fission.
||Unique Capabilities:

• Magnetronic Beam: a very powerful directed magnet (aka tractor beam).
• Chronosphere: Mid-ranged teleportation device, jerry-riggedwell-adapted by brilliant Soviet engineers for use as a jump drive. The ship travels in many rapid, short, instantaneous jumps.
• Cosmonauts: rather than go for expensive single-man fighters, the U.S.S.R. has opted for teams of cosmonauts with maneuvering packs, a single-use missile, and a gun. Such teams are known as flaks, after the aerial flak clouds from previous wars. Flaks of cosmonauts have been found to be nearly as effective and much more expendable than a fighter escort, and these findings are certainly not a reflection on the quality of the hastily-assembledwell-thought-out MiG Cosmos starfighter.

||History of the Ship: The Romanova was on her shakedown cruise; a three-year mission to Alpha Centauri and back, stopping at any points of interest the Commander deemed worthy of receiving the enlightened knowledge of the glorious Soviet system. Additionally, of course, it gave the Romanova some time to work out the kinks and oddities in its design far away from prying eyes. Nobody was really sure if the damn ship wouldn't just shake itself apart at some point, or if its diaspora of competing technologies could actually function together. Born out of war and forged by paranoia, the U.S.S.R. ensured its first interstellar ship would be well-capable of defending itself. The great minds of the citizens at the central planning bureau also saw fit to include several crates of propaganda reels, propaganda leaflets, propaganda posters, and propaganda sound bites.
||Some Important People:

• Venera Romanova: Commander of the Romanova. A minor relation to the famous Romanov line, placed into a quiet, out-of-the way position, easily covered up if she should fail while still sufficiently prestigious should she succeed. Very much the image of a good Soviet officer.
• Yevgeniy Utkin: Romanova's XO - who secretly believes that he's the only one capable of being in charge, and questions some of the USSR's methods, though he won't tell anyone that.
• Sergei Volkov: leader of the cosmonaut flaks. He attended re-education sessions voluntarily. Twice. Then again, anyone with his job has to be at least a little mad.
• Gregor Zelinsky: The chief engineer in charge of all the technology. It's unfortunate for him, really, because he only half-understands how the captured technology works in the first place.

Stranded: A Ship-Based Sci-Fi Multiverse RP

I literally mean to roleplay a ship. Sort-of like an NRP, you have 3 or 4 important people you actually RP, and the rest are abstracted. You can also have the ship perform actions itself while abstracting most of the crew, like moving somewhere or firing some lasers. But, who doesn't want to hear your captain shout "Fire!" with steel in their eyes before pretty beams of sparkly death shoot across space?

As for the everyone-in-one-ship idea, that's a valid way to do it, but not what I was imagining.

Stranded: A Ship-Based Sci-Fi Multiverse RP

(OOC is Here)

---

The wormhole sucks in your ship slowly at first, but the ship's speed keeps ticking up and up. By now you've called for full reverse thrust, but it doesn't appear to be making a difference. Space stretches before you on the viewscreens, stars bending into lines and a swirling rush of color. The last you and your crew see of known space is a fish-eyed view of distortion. Then all is a rush of strange color and shapes. Your science officers assure you that you're looking at successive three-dimensional slices of four-dimensional objects, but all you can think about is what might happen if your ship crashes into one of the tortuous shapes. Astrogation reports errors - there are no stars or satellites to gain a bearing off of in here. Through the fog you detect echoes of other metal ships and distorted nav signals. And then, just as suddenly as you entered it, you're through the wormhole. Space flops back into its regularly-established shapes. Astrogation reports that you've traveled 1.2 million lightyears. The ship is stranded between two galaxies, far outside its drive's range. Communications reports that they've picked up other ships floating with you in the barren void between galaxies.

You are alone, far from everything you and your crew knows - except for all the other ships, floating out there with you.

---

In this RP, you will roleplay a ship stranded by a wormhole in intergalactic space. The ships can be from your imagination or pulled from fiction. The wormhole will periodically open up and spit out something interesting - whether a necessary or valuable resource, derelict ship, or some form of antagonist. It's up to you what to do with it, and what your long-term goal is.

Ideally, this is all a vehicle for some fun exploration, alien diplomacy, perhaps some conflict, technology exchange, and banding together in difficult circumstances. I plan for there being an initial encounter/get to know everyone period, and then the wormhole will open up, dropping something interesting into the mix - a planet, a station, a spacetime anomaly, space whales, hostile ships, a weapon, fuel, plans for an intergalactic warp drive that may or may not work.

We'll see if I manage to get my two posts/month in this month. If not....

Ha! Right. I'm causing all sorts of delays for you, aren't I, Ozerath? :P

Fade: Space NRP-RPG fusion

I'm back! Summer Session has started, seems fine so far. Gotta catch up with what's been going on in here. I'm probably going to start having something to post late this week, likely another explorer post. Wasn't someone chasing Helena?

Fade: Space NRP-RPG fusion

I'm going away for the weekend, and then school starts for the summer. I'm both intimidated and excited. Going into another semester of engineering school is like going into another burst of combat. You know it's going to suck and you can't do anything about it, but at the same time, you really want to be there and you feel all competent about it. I love it so much and hate it at the same time.

To make a long story short, I'm not going to reply to your pm for a few days, @Ozerath.
