Meanwhile aboard the Cydonia - 1st Lieutenant Wolffe seemed to visibly bristle at the Captain's instruction to the Lieutenant Commander and Ensign to begin forming an Away team. He managed to recover and cleared his throat rather loudly to attract the Captain's attention. "Sir, a word please." When...

Human side hasn't got much to work with yet but I am still here. Wolffe is standing on the bridge while all the cool stuff is happening with the Loroi. Kudos folks, makes for good reading.

What kind of crazy future army are you in Beliskner? We can barely afford to purchase real ammunition for our weapons!

You got it Codius_Dak, for the purposes of the RP the Marines will be using those bullpup rifles.

Meanwhile aboard the Cydonia - It was a matter of moments between the Lieutenant Commander beginning his announcement before the Marines thundered into the Armory. When a stand-to was called there was no waiting, no worrying about what your hair looked like or concern about whether or not you had s...

Yes, I confirmed with Suederwind that it was alright to post my character without the stats and add them in as soon as I have them completed. I appreciate all your help sunphoenix, but I am still completely clueless about this stuff. That last email you sent me had 20 points left to spend and I coul...

1st Lieutenant Eric Wolffe <-- Post Color Marine Combat Officer [Points 320] Position: Close Protection and General Duties Officer, Cydonia Head of Security, 25th Marine Regiment " Any problem can be solved with the proper amount of force. You just need to work out what kind of force to use and whe...

I'll get those files as soon as I can for you sunphoenix, it's just going to require some shuffling around of files from one computer to another for that to happen. If the laptop it was all on was built in this century it would be much easier I am sure. :D Thanks again for all the help with the char...

After doing some thinking about ranks it occurred to me that Alexander Jardin happens to be an Ensign; a rank that exists in the American forces but not in the Coalition rank and structure that I indicated above. This would mean we would have to use American ranks if we were to keep with Arioch's es...

I'll stand by your interpretation Suederwind, though the implications of some of what you are saying are... unsavoury. Rank and structure is not something I should be hung up on in an rp that is about fun, but out characters would be very familiar with the structure and it's meaning. It's just that ...

Haha, you're establishing a pretty high bar there sunphoenix. Two good looking characters already. Making the rest of us look bad!

Personally I like the idea of a lecherous Loroi, but one of the Unsheathed too? My vote is for Stormrage, but I think both of your characters are good to go.

Thanks for advices! I don't have much contact with navy being member of ground forces. Perhaps I will simply promote him up to Lt Cmdr with first officer posting. About trade, there was mentioned that all cadets of military academies where taught trade language. ps 25 years old? I had Captain who w...

I should also mention that I would be very surprised to find an Army officer serving as the first officer aboard a Naval vessel, especially one of such low rank. The equivalent of a 2Lt in Navy ranks (if we are using a British rank structure cause the American one is just bananas) would be Acting-Su...

Don't worry about it sunphoenix, I wouldn't want to step on any toes so I will pick a different slot. I was on the fence between helmsman and 2IC anyway. Provided the position is available that is.

OK... seems I am the one that needs to apologize for an unwarranted nitpick then... Sorry :( It's all good my friend. :) Thanks for setting us straight and for the info Arioch. It's the first I am hearing about Spiral by name, I'll have to look out for her more. Edit: Saw her on page 41. Spiral and...

IIRC fighter losses are very high, which is why they aren't used nearly as often as they used to be. Of course, I can see that they would respond to these losses. My original question was more concerning how they deal with losing so many close to them using Talon as an example as she is so young an...

/Nitpick ON Talon is actually the more senior of the two members of her squadron remaining, not the sole survivor. Given that the Tempest carries 8 fighters, that means that Talon's unit has suffered 75% losses, not 90%. Unless Tempest carries more than significantly more than 8 pilots for its 8 fi...

But here's the other key difference. Stillstorm grew up in an era of unquestioned Loroi dominance, Talon grew up during a period of total war. I'm not saying it'll be EASY for Talon to accept the losses, but she's grown up her entire life knowing that losses were going to be high, Stillstorm didn't...

Apologies if the following have already been covered; I had a couple questions about the Loroi and how they handle loss, since it seems that they have abundant opportunity to experience it. Looking at Talon's bio she is one of only two survivors of her squadron that have been in service for less tha...

I just wanted to say to Seuderwind that I appreciate him answering all my questions to my satisfaction, I appreciate that he has put a lot of thought into this scenario which will benefit the game immensely. I see now that the given scenario is perhaps the natural result from Alexander's contact wit...
