Future RP Construction Thread

[DarkKnight]

Just say if you think something is overpowered or something, if no-one respondes to it, it's automatically aproved ^^, though, I don't mind if you go aproving stuff that comes after we have started the RP.

 

[Gath_Stormer]

So do you want Elenai's approved or not.

 

[Elenai]

Lol, I understand what Gath was saying. The idea is approved: IE: not over powered, and just right.

As for the organic ships, it is not so much tyranid at all really, but more like Tenchi Muyo's Jurai tree ships.

The ships are not entirely unprotected though

Remember, they are said to have ruled a vast and powerful empire built of trade and material wealth. They will not have forgotten its usefulness, even if they are no longer attached to such things as 'wealth'.

 

[varsaigen]

money: a tool to get what you want
money (nowdays): the amount of influence you have in your surroundings

 

[Elenai]

Wealth also means 'weapons' and 'armour' and 'means of protecting your riches' ^_^

 

[DarkKnight]

Var, maybe his defences are even stronger, becouse, in this age, anything we tried to make the same as nature, we epicly failed, or made it increadibly inefficiently, so maybe becouse it's natural, it's even stronger than the rest XD.

 

[varsaigen]

Elenai, as you prove, Wealth equals power and the ability to force your dominance upon your enemies

Darkknight, yep. :/ but I still don't need infestations D:

 

[DarkKnight]

Like you can stop Elenai's Epicness XD, mine, most likely, his? No way XD.

 

[Elenai]

You give me far too much credit

 

[Tahril]

As for the organic ships, it is not so much tyranid at all really, but more like Tenchi Muyo's Jurai tree ships.

Uhhh... who's Tenchi Muyo??

 

[DarkKnight]

Does that have something to do with anime or manga?

 

[Gath_Stormer]

Guys guys and ?girl?. I think we have settled the fact that Elenai is Epic and his race is approved. Let us continue.

 

[DarkKnight]

lol, so, what will be in space itself, that might cause odd/interresting/dangerous things? Meteorites? Pirates? Giant space-born blob organism?

 

[varsaigen]

contagions, pirates, comets, strange anti-sensor cloaks caused by either devices or natural phenominons, enemies and allies, potential bases, ideas, etc.

 

[DarkKnight]

Blue telephone boxes

 

[Elenai]

Long lost ancient and decrepit Laminari fortresses that have become so dis-repaired that their defense mechanisms auto-target passers by and obliterate them when they try to cross an ancient trade route that was long since abandoned due to these hazardous things.

The legacy that the Laminari left behind wasn't a legacy that was entirely innocent afterall

Even now our race spills undeserving blood into the void of space to drift for eternity amidst the ruins of these metal graveyards...wrapped in the dead vines and roots of their ancient spacial-cellulose shells.

 

[DarkKnight]

So, what you're saying, is that your fortresses still shoot at anything that they see?

 

[varsaigen]

so, the trick would be to have a ship that takes the debris, and launches the in a spreadshot across the hull of the fortress. That way, you could hopefully damage the guns, and manage to get close!

 

[Tahril]

Or use an EMP burst gun, destroy the guns, and sneak in to the fort... >.<

 

[DarkKnight]

Could be they don't use electronics.

 

[Tahril]

Still, just a thought.

 

[Elenai]

These were once fortress cities that guarded the most highly navigated (and obviously highly policed) trade routes

Taking them will not be so easy...and of course, they are so dis-repaired that there is not much left to take, even if you succeeded in stabilizing their alien systems, could you even use them?

Remember, the mechanical devices embedded into the now dead organics are not like your basic computers...and neither are the now "rogue" weapons, the computer interfaces and controls are all written in Laminari, and spoken in Laminari...a now 'very dead' language amongst such persons as yourselves.

You might end up blowing yourselves up

Of course, even the Laminari cannot enter the perimeter very easily at all, the Rogue guns target us as well.

What organics that remain are what helps to power the systems, and transfer energy and commands like living nerves. EMP will not do much to harm their systems, deep in the santuary-cores of these fortresses.

They are prime hazards in the deep forgotten reaches of old, once charted, but now lost space.

Few come across them...or live to tell about it. Hidden in deep clouded nebulae, wrapped in fields of ice, or bathed in the scarlet shadows of dying suns...

To come across one of these Laminari graves, is to come across the abode of the Angels of Death themselves.

And those armed with protector-drones are even more dangerous. Ships that escape the hundreds of gun batteries are pursued in a near endless, and disparate hunt, as their damaged ships are sent engine-screaming, 'Death driven' into the vast empty blackness of open space surrounded by plagues of these merciless, mechanical guardians like mangled flies around the last vestiges of a piece of rotten fruit. Jumping in and out of real-space taking bites out of the doomed ship's hulls with their organo-metal bodies, or their ancient, mysterious weaponry.

They are graveyards friends...disturb not the dust that lingers there.

 

[Tahril]

Maybe we just want to explore the forts, because they're so alien?

 

[varsaigen]

dang. dimension skipping ships? D: That'll be hard to combat with my drones to help me escape D: Luckily, where there's a black sun flet, there's always a Planet cracker and LOTS of drones :3

Interesting part about the nebula-shrouded bases. That'll give my gasmining operations something to be cautious about D:

 

[Elenai]

The best kept secrets, are the most protected ones

There might be a very, very, very underpowered or derelict fortress out there somewhere. But it is probably in a very dangerous spot anyway for something to so utterly decimate its systems.

The RP wouldn't be interesting without a few sharks in the water

..or man eating whales...

 

[varsaigen]

lol still sounds like fun :3 (to try to find a way to stay on top of so many people would result in having a war between superpowers )

 

[Tahril]

The best kept secrets, are the most protected ones

Some secrets are best hidden in plain sight.

 

[DarkKnight]

Well, it might be in plain sight, but surrounded by a wall of heavy fortresses and defensive drones XD, still, my race never met them, and I doubt we'll be meeting them very soon...

 

[Gath_Stormer]

I'm not going to be on as often lately. So you may have to make choices without me. So bye.

 

[Tahril]

Quick question: does everyone have a race/character set up?

 

[Koicheen]

I do. Even though you pro'lly frogot about me, since im not very active at this topic.
Anyway, i want to make a small edit to my race. I forgot to mention leadership
So, should i make a new post? No-one would see me edit the old one... Even if i told you, you'd have to search the whole topic for my race submission..

 

[DarkKnight]

Just post it here, it doesn't matter ^^, and I remember your signature (I remember people mostly by the way they talk, their avatars and signatures XD)

 

[Elenai]

I should have a character up soon.

 

[Koicheen]

Alrgiht then.
The Lashia are under the leadership of the Council. 7 ministers form this council, each with they're own responsabilities.
Minister of Science and Development (currently Zanos Reefor)- lead scientist, controls techologic development.
Minsiter of Industry (currently Arek Manasis) -Controls ore extraction and material and machenery production.
Minister of Defence (currently Anne Crostes)-Responsable for defending the many trade routes of Lashion, aswell as the planetary garnison.
Minister of Diplomacy (currently Ealla Relses) - lead diplomat.
Minister of Inner Affairs (currently Drasos Xeron) - in lead of inner affairs, such as law enforcement, health and education.
Minister of Trade (currently Teros Garathill) - decides the small-scale trade (large-scale ones are decided by the entire council) agreements and makes sure trade goes on propperly.
Minister of Economy (currently Millios Ceran) - lead economist, keeps track of the planet's capital and manages the economy.


I'll play as different ministers depending on the situation.

 

[varsaigen]

that's a lot to keep track of D:

 

[Zan105]

I don't have a race but i have it all wrote up just need to edit it a bit and post it...

 

[DarkKnight]

you can, offcourse, play as another race, it's mostly about the characters anyway, and if we have too many races, it might get confusing...

 

[Zan105]

Perhaps il make a faction of some ones race... Mine seems meh...

 

[DarkKnight]

Do whatever you want to do I'd say XD.

 

[Koicheen]

that's a lot to keep track of D:

It is, but i wrote up the names, and whenever i mention somone ill say who he is.

Example: Ealla Relses(minister of Diplomacy) arrives at planet X...

So you guys dont have to remeber it. (i debt you would, even if i didnt write this )

 

[varsaigen]

and your right. It would be hard enough to keep track of the other 5-6 players, and even harder to do the above AND keep track of your ministers' movements D:

 

[Koicheen]

Meh, ill pro'lly just control one at a time, except when they're together, or rare momments when controling more then one is really needed, and i mean reeeally needed.

 

[Tahril]

I'll just play my Exile, cause the entire race at once would be very hard on me, as I'm not very good a multitasking.

 

[Andreja]

Can i haz Lightsab0r?

 

[varsaigen]

and be able to deflect our attacks and cut through the hulls of our ship with ease? D: All you'd have to do is layer the hulls of your ships with lightsabers D: and nothing could ever touch you, while you be able to shoot away (turrets also covered in lightsabers) and ram your way through all ships D:

But, lol, that's an extreme.

 

[Elenai]

I'd just counter it with guns that shoot guns that shoot guns that shoot bullets that turn into guns.

 

[varsaigen]

dunno if that'd work.

 

[DarkKnight]

Offcourse it would! Anyway, Lazerswords, yes, Starwars lazer swords? Nope ^^, becouse... how do you plan on making the lazer not go for unendingly long?

 

[varsaigen]

or manage to go through things but bounce lasers and stop when they collide with another lightsaber D:

Helps to have science todetermine the logic of technology

 

[DarkKnight]

The plasma swords we use, are in general more like this shape:
__
|(
| )
|(
--
|
In which _| and - are just solid pieces with stuff in it needed to make plasma etc.
and the )('s are the plasma flowing ^^. you could also add a plasma cutter on the top if you'd like to stab people.
