OOC: Galactic Colonization:Sci-fi Civilization. Will you be a founder or a Conquer?

[IDreamofBunnies]

I updated my original entry, is there anything else I should put in?

 

[Jagged]

I like what you have....just waiting on a few more posts from the first wave crew and you all will get the remainder of your gear and your up into space.

 

[Jagged]

Notes about Expendables....they are clones as mentioned but all the ones delivered to you all are adult males matured to age 18....you can older others in the future that are male or female but you have what you have right now no changes....and the first chapter is considering loading the ship....and travel. Landing will be soon and second wave will be posted soon.

 

[Mantra]

I have a new question for you Jagged,

Been reading up on everything and what has been posted but one thing springs to mind...just how big is this ship anyway? there are literally thousands of people bustling on board and everyone is bringing anything and everything from bulldozers to live chickens....so just how much space is there for us to bring as 'cargo'?

OOC galatic colonization: sci fi

GEM.......GRANT EXPLORATION & MINNING.......A FAMILY OWNED CORP.[/COLOR


question:.....Call a meeting between the leaders of the colonies, possibility of a banquet?

question:.....the one way drop pods. Does their crews join us or are they picked up by the pequot?

personal observation.....I feel that we should be able to set down nearest to the area we choose to start from. there are six good places with four teams coming in. draw lots to pick our landing sight. landing to close together , I feel that there will be to greaT A chance for war between 2 groups and draging in the other 2

question:.....he six prime areas, are they boxed...ie 3 x 3 , 2 x 4 or in a straight line 1 thru 6?

Macmillian

 

[Jagged]

Good questions.....


First Mantra.....ever see White Dwarf....? Funny Science Fiction show with a huge ship which I believe is 5 miles long. Well that is my model for your transport with room for Six drop pods but is moving along fast since it is only carrying 4 pods. As to space you all have plenty. This is a massive ship. Though the pods are not built for confort. Short journey and drop.

Now macmillian....first a banquet? Invite them and see if they show up. I suggest posting an open invitation say what topics you have up for discussion....say what the menu is and order of things to happen. Good idea for you all to sit down and talk. You all have common space to meet.
As to the drop ships these are alittl more then tricked out containers...your people are being cross trained on them so no crew is necessary. Landings have a 98% success rate of landing.

As for your landing sites....they look like a six pack with not much data on the surrounding area. The six pack.....sites are listed 1a 2a 3a and 1b 2b 3b....and you're able to guide your drop ships into these areas easily.

 

[Mantra]

DOH!!

Jagged, we were typing at the same time...need to know if my second post is OK...

 

[Ghostbear58]

Hi, just wanted to check that my stuff was all ok. The staff of Krane Independent Trading Corporation will continue with any preparations!

 

[Jagged]

mantra...gave it a quick read seems like it fits well enough.




Ghostbear...your group of second wavers will be on their way shortly.

 

[IDreamofBunnies]

I'm just waiting.

 

[Jagged]

Thanks for understanding. We my launch ahead of time....



Great stuff guys can't wait to see the roleplay happen.

 

[Quax]

I had an idea but it is based on two questions about the main space ship that wave 2 will be traveling on. If I remember right you said the following Jagged just want to confirm it;
1) The main space ship does not return from the planet to be colonized.
2) Prior to landing drop pods are used to move to the desired area by the settling groups.

 

[Jagged]

Okay let me clear some things up.


1) The main space ship does not return from the planet to be colonized?

The Pequod which is the jumpship leaves the colonies once you have landed in your dropships. The Pequod is over five miles long and couldn't land on the planet safely even if the captain wanted too. Second wavers will be taking a similar craft.

2) Prior to landing drop pods are used to move to the desired area by the settling groups.

The Dropships are only capable of a one way journey to the planet's surface. They can be guided to the select site on the planet but don't have enough fuel to make long journey. The jumpship ususally moves above the general area of the landing and the crew onboard guide the dropship to the exact area.


Hope this helps...

 

[Jagged]

Flag on the play...

Macmillian...You noted that you found more military personnel? Where did they come from? Military experience is one thing combat experience is another. Also if they are pulled from your Settlers they don't have combat experience. Settlers are more like the adventures in roleplay games. Tried a few things there was some advancement, but saw adventuring as an opportunity.

To all of you you cannot just get equipment and personnel from no where and pay nothing. I am more then willing to cut people slack on this since I created this all to be fun and it is writing not an online wargame. It is a not so traditional game, but even so I want things to be fair. I am trying to form skill list which will clear some things up.

 

[Jagged]

Phew....just thought I would add a short list of skills to give you all a better idea of what your people can do...Some skills are strictly military while others are shared. For example I am sure there are a few civilians who have flown Jet fighters but none who are combat trained unless in th e military. Thos with skills can teach others, but it takes time. Military and former military can take some civilian skills but they have spent their lives getting good at their jobs. Civilians may have some military like training but it isn't the same as serving. You should read all sections but some ones I think are very important are....WEAPON PROFICIENCIES, TECHNICAL, SCIENCE, ROGUE, PILOT, and MECHANICAL. Though all are useful if your creative.

[Screech]

wow. That's.... alot of skills...

 

[rengadeirishman]

yeaaaaaaa

 

[macmillian]

Macmillian...You noted that you found more military personnel? Where did they come from? Military experience is one thing combat experience is another. Also if they are pulled from your Settlers they don't have combat experience. Settlers are more like the adventures in roleplay games. Tried a few things there was some advancement, but saw adventuring as an opportunity.

Jagged;

Sir. I thought that among the the friends/family, Robert Grant could have found another 50 more military with combat experience or training. I will adjust back to the the original 100 and that will include their officers and noncom's.

Keep up the good control. i am enjoying this game.. thank you

 

[Jagged]

Well a lot of skills are necessary when you think about it.....You each have a diverse group of people under your command. A lot of different jobs and backgrounds so you need a lot of skills. I do hope the list helps.

 

[rengadeirishman]

my warriors were all special forces soldiers and they were best of the best, trained to use many weapons and tactics so the list is good to show the others the myriad exciting ways my warriors can hurt them.

 

[Jagged]

Actually more like guerrilla fighters....well trained grant you put not exactly special forces though they are very tough it is not the same. For example guerrilla fighters/ terrorists are fighting United States Special Forces in Afghanistan. Mountain fighters against a real Army.

 

[Mantra]

I could make some comments about 'gurellas' in Afghanistan, but I won't.

Anyway, I don't need to 'hurt' your warriors, just twist them up and force them to surrender.

 

[rengadeirishman]

good luck making them surrender

 

[Mantra]

That's where overwhelming force, skill and tactics come in...

Or would you prefer the ole 'Death or Glory' angle?

 

[rengadeirishman]

but yall dont have overwhelming force,skill or tactics, Im pretty sure that i originally made them as special forces not guerillas, but regardless. My warriors are all about death or glory anyway
