Re: [RP]Cydonia Rising (OOC)
Unless the Loroi targeting/navigational sensors require constant input by a farseer, I am pretty sure they are equipped with similar, likely better sensor equipment as humans. A small atmospheric shuttle should have sensors allowing it to safely conduct orbital manoeuvres, atmospheric re-entry, flight, and landing (vertical and horizontal). So basically similar stuff you'd find on a Space Shuttle orbiter, just far more sophisticated. It will probably lack the resolution to detect anything beyond a few hundred thousand kilometres though, because a shuttle doesn't need it to perform its function.

That sounds rather reasonable. Which means we'll be basically blind. :pVictor_D wrote:Unless the Loroi targeting/navigational sensors require constant input by a farseer, I am pretty sure they are equipped with similar, likely better sensor equipment as humans.

Re: [RP]Cydonia Rising (OOC)
Thats it, I think. Maybe some auxiliary sensors for traveling short distances in space. But nothing better than that. I highly doubt that such sensors would need constant input by a farseer. There are not that many of them, if I remember correctly.Victor_D wrote:Unless the Loroi targeting/navigational sensors require constant input by a farseer, I am pretty sure they are equipped with similar, likely better sensor equipment as humans.

Re: [RP]Cydonia Rising (OOC)
To make things clear, the shuttle you are on is a "Slipper" class, Trans-Atmospheric Shuttle (Skiff).
Argent Fires "Nistel" Shuttle is the destroyed one in the hangar bay. I will add that to the prelude, to make things clear. Sorry, should have done so in the first place.

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.
Re: [RP]Cydonia Rising (OOC)
I'm sure we will speed up soon. I think Gm and loroi char wanted to catch up in time line(cydonia crew sees aftermath of battle...)
ps.
I have some lines already made but waiting for GM ...

I will post something for the human _and_ loroi side today. Still working on that and I have an appointment today. So this could take awhile. I wanted to post this earlier but thought that an answer to Yiuel is more important.
There are still some characters/players missing, so there will be a break between the prelude and the"real deal".
I hope you are enjoying the game so far.

Sorry to be dominating the RP in the current thread. I had expected Suederwind to make a new thread when the shuttle launched - so I could close this thread and EVERYONE could get into the drama and RP.

Actually... looking at the two character's stats... Softsapphire versus Thoughtvenom... Thoughtvemon would be the better choice. She has electonics and computers...
Perhaps you should but in and point that out?

Re: [RP]Cydonia Rising (OOC)
Quick questions :
1. Size of the probe vs. size of the shuttle. Is the shuttle big enough and probe small enough that we could get the probe and analyse it in the relative safety of our shuttle.
2. Radiation levels vs. Loroi physiology. I made two checks, I will need an answer from the DM to give a proper course of action.
Finally, made it wide open for a Tech Girl to stand up. So please use it :p

Re: [RP]Cydonia Rising (OOC)
Hi there!
I intended to stop the rp and open an new thread for the real deal, after the first contact. I first intended that all of the things before that would be told in a backflash from the argent fires and cydonias commanders/captains. Letting you play all this is much more fun, I have to say and we are progressing very rappidly (compared to the other games here).
I really had no idea that you would be that cautious. Possibly doing an EVA for contacting that probe... I really haven' thought on that. Nicely played!
Indeed, CJ Millers character would be more fitting. Feel free to post your part.

Re: [RP]Cydonia Rising (OOC)
@Yiuel:
1.) Your character don't know how big that probe is. OOC: that thing will be made of some sort of sensor array, thrusters, a com unit and a small reactor, attached to an asteroid. Nothing too sophisticated, but it does its job. (What kind of wordplay do you use in the english speaking world for something absolutly standard, without any extras? We in Germany say its 08/15. Nevertheless, thats exactly what this probe is.) The whole Asteroid will not fit in the shuttle, but you might be able to remove the probe or parts from it.
2.)Your character knows now that Twilightsaber didn't lie to you. It is in fact very dangerous to go out there. I have to say, that I'm not sure how to convert solon into minutes, so that 600 solon should be around 10 minutes. Maybe someone could correct me, if I am wrong on that. Thanks in advance! Nevertheless, you have to be quick.

Re: [RP]Cydonia Rising (OOC)
600 solons is 11 Earth human minutes.
And I don't think there's any way to introduce Malidasaria right now aside from having her suddenly also be on another of the Argent Fire's escape pods, which is implausible as all get out and maybe also godmoding. When Softsapphire shut the sensors off, did she go into radio blackout as well?

Well, introducing your char is no problem (at least for my point of view). She is there on that shuttle, but she hasn't said or done anything yet, exept escaping. Like Yiuel and I said, feel free to post.
Thanks for solving that little solon problem.
Edit: I reworked the first Post in this thread (again), should be easier to find the necessary informations.
