Umm...whoops? :lol: Not to worry icekatze, most of what we've done can still stand, we just have to change cutting the time to reach the Pure Wind to extending the time before the gunboat reaches us. The conference is still needed and I was going to suggest trying to talk to the gunboat anyway...whi...

Donna considers Kam's suggestion before speaking, "Perhaps you're right Kam. Though I'll have to leave resting 'till after the conference." She gives a small, weary smile, "Thank you for the suggestion." Donna's muscles protest, tense with recent stress, as she stands, "Lieutenant Lynn," she says wi...

Donna nods at Kam's words, "Good work Lieutenant. Can you cut the time down to 2.5 hours? That ship is our best chance of getting out of this system any time soon and we have no idea how much longer it will hold together."

Donna catches herself staring at the flashing crimson of the FTL unit on the damage control screen again and berates herself for dwelling on matters that cannot be changed in the here and now. Activating the comm, Donna orders the engineering crew to focus on fixing the damage to the fusion reactor ...

I just had one trying to edit a post...it didn't even pause to think about it, just went straight to the error page.

@Gudo, ah ok, I missed that part about the -2. I look forward to seeing the other items :) @sunphoenix, it may be best just to have him on the planet the whole time...it would require too much plot twisting and geographic shifting to explain his presence any other way. Sephal is a planet on the very...

Sorry Gudo, I was busy yesterday and slept in today :oops: Well the BESM book says each level of Power Flux gives the character 4 'Flux Points' which are used up as you use the ability, and then recharge over time. Your spider mines are worth 12 points so thats how many you use when making new ones....

I've done some thinking, done some tests and other things to see what would seem to work ok, so I've decided that for now your characters will have a limit of 240 character points to work with. Other things: I have officially dropped the human marine landing force as a player group (for now) leaving...

lol, not a problem

@icekatze, I need to know what's working aboard the DeSoto, particularly the comms and other major systems...probably easier than asking what's broken

The icy clarity which had sustained Donna through the battle abandoned her as the danger passed, leaving her with an inner turmoil that threatened to crack the calm exterior she presented to the crew. The thought of how close they had come to destruction in the last few minutes chilled her to the bo...

@sunphoenix: As DeSoto's XO, Commander Ptak has been the ship's Captain since Captain MacRae died...that's usually how the chain of command works.

That's how I've been RPing her anyway.

Glossy paper don't absorb but smear.

Thanks so much for that enduring image guys

Reading through BESM, looks fine to me. PET MONSTER TRAINER? Hell yeah! Hmm...maybe Admiral Vandermeer will have a pet Umiak then? :P F: Nom nom nom... V: :shock: Ack! ... Et tu Fluffy? (Expires) ---- Well, if everyone is happy to use BESM that's good :D Now we need to figure out how many character...

You might find something similar to modern pirates, take a ship and hold it and the crew hostage...though in practice it would probably be even harder than it is today.

Added a few important locations (under Ships). Sephal (AKA Drizzle) will the the major location for events in this phase of the RP. Also: Does anyone object to using the BESM system (minus the distance and time rules)? Because I'm thinking that it is the best rules system for us. I'll help out anyon...

Players will be individual characters on the ground where the action will be taking place (though there will be space battles, I created all that heavy-metal for a reason y'know ;) ). You can run more than one character if you wish though. I hadn't intended to have heavy combat vehicles in this firs...

Well I have no problem doing plenty of work as GM, but I don't want things getting bogged down either. IRC is a good idea but there always seems to be someone who has to be awake at some odd hour to join in. We'll have to wait and see on that score... @Gudo, Ship crews and captains are intended to b...

That certainly is an interesting ship Codius, it looks like it'd live up to its name quite well ;) I actually had a bit of trouble deciding exactly what level of tech humans and the other races had reached in the 300 year gap, and how fast humans would have caught up to them. I know there has been q...

The second to last food (the one covered by the lid of the pen) appears to say Tasty on the list bunnyboy kindly righted. If so Alex has managed to find something edible, something with no taste, and something he likes...hopefully they actually provide useful nutrients. Or maybe the Loroi did salvag...

It was the KTKh that crippled Winter Tide ; I'd hardly call that unsuitable. You can cut off your own gangrenous hand with a pocketknife if need be. If you have all the options in the world, surgery performed by surgeons with surgical tools would be preferable. I'm just asking if this was more like...
