Been a bit busy today, I did add three new techs and two of the Loroi going into the incursion with Task Force 27 though. Making up names for them is even worse than humans

At the moment its planned to be one or two groups of players working together alongside NPCs, but there'll be a bunch of stuff going on in the background which is why I'm making all the other NPCs and stuff up. Plus the more concrete info the players have the less chance they have of going off on so...

Ok then, we now have a complete list of all ships in Task Force 27. I also tweaked Intransigent since I think I may have given it a few too many weapons last night...so now it has 4 less

Plus we have a few NPCs now...naming them all is a pain though and there's plenty more to come

I get the impression the Umiak are more single-minded than uncreative, if they weren't at war and they considered undiscovered specied to be their greatest threat then I'd imagine they'd go to a lot of effort to find them.

Another question, given Loroi cultural values would they even build massive arrays to detect possible alien signals? They have historically relied on their physiology to detect the presence of alien species so would they even see a need to gather ancient messages from alien civilizations? Furthermo...

@sunphoenix: I'm not entirely familiar with BESM, if you can point me to an electronic version of it I'll have a look.

@Fusebox: Umm, I'll see if I can work it in at somepoint if it makes sense to do so. It wont be in the first part of the RP though.

You could also make a huge phased-array system with hundreds or thousand of probes...lots and lots of little things making up one really big thing.

Aren't most of the modern radio telescopes on earth phased-array now?

Added more stuff to the assorted data post, one more tech and two of the larger ships in the human task force. Anyone using human soldier characters will almost certainly be on the Bellerophon...at least to begin with. I'll post the rest of the ships tomorrow plus whatever else I think of then. Anyw...

That´s not a loss. German TV programme is like a huge pile of sh*t with only a few scattered gems.

Not much different from everywhere else then

Edit: Ninja'd...

Cliches are good, I like cliches ;) Also, don't go setting things in stone just yet. For instance I was thinking of having the players start in two groups, a bunch of human soldiers with the Fleet in one and another group on a planet within the incursion. That way we can get a whole lot of Empire al...

Alex seems happy

Character Data: This section will have a guideline for character creation as well as rules and such for using/interacting with characters etc. It will also have a list of characters for easy reference... NPC Characters: Humans: Rear Admiral Mitch Vandermeer- CO, Task Force 27. Aboard TCNS Belleroph...

Assorted Data: This section will have lists of ships, important techs, a history of the post-War/pre-Incursion years for some of the races and other interesting tidbits which currently doesn't exist anywhere but in my head... List of Ships Terran Commonwealth: Warships: TCNS Bellerophon Class: Comm...

Ok, I figured I'd try my hand at GMing a RP...so here goes :D Anyway, this RP is open to all and sundry, lots of RP experience or none, if you only want to post occasionally or as often as possible, whatever, it doesn't bother me and I'll be happy to have you and find a spot for you to play as you p...

Whatever you like Fusebox, I'm sure you'll do fine in whatever spot you decide.

Also...I'm a little confused, again I thought Ferox was fixing the power cut to laser two? What exactly is the purpose of shunting more power to laser one?

We can't really say for sure who she's looking at...It could be Alex but could also be Tempo and co.

Commander Ptak, Ferox reported that his team is at the site and are making necessary adjustments as we speak. They need few more moments to finish it. You must realize that such power flow can damage our main power nexus and leave us incapacitated? Donna nods, "I do realise that Commander, it's a r...

Donna's stomach quietly rebels as DeSoto's artificial gravity field struggles to compensate for the many and varied inertial effects of Kamielle's antics at the helm. Shoving the discomfort to the back of her mind, Donna keeps an eye on the damage control screen which has become a more-or-less perma...

Thanks icekatze :) I'm guessing Earl launched all the probes since you didn't mention a number in the IC? na ill keep at least one to cuddle with... i mean, in case we need to do some survey. Thats good...the keeping one bit, not the cuddling it bit ;) Umm, sunphoenix...I don't want to burst your b...

You said it yourself though that the ship keeps going forward (at around .01 cee) regardless of other thrust...the only limitations to agility given the ships design is total thrust and how quickly we can get the ship's aft pointed in the right direction to maximise the angle (since ideally you want...
