((This is my first Forum game Ever so don't kill me pl0x))

The vastness of space. There is nothing like it, ever expanding, unforgiving, dangerous as sam hell. No there is nothing us mortals could ever hope to compare it to.

You (all of you!) are the captain of the ship [You guys name it!] a Lasher Class Assault frigate. Not much more than a small time Pirate or Privateer at the moment.

Your ship and all the other you might eventually get. WARNING LARGE

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You take off and slowly drift away from the Space Station orbiting Corvus II

Nearby

Corvus II (large terran planet owned by the Hegemony Superfaction)
The Space station (it has a shop!) you just took off of,
The Hegemony Planetary Defense Fleet (Neutral)

Items, Crew ,etc

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

5000 Credits,30 Regular Crew Members, 4 Marines, 12 Green Crew, 25 Units of Fuel, 50 Units of Supplies
Your Lasher Class Assault Frigate (Armament: 3 Light Machine gun turrets (Point Defense) 2 Harpoon or Salamander rocket racks  on hardpoints (3 shots each, you guys choose what type: Harpoon is good against ships with downed shields Slamanders are EMP weapons that go for their targets engine and any nearby weapons to shut them down) 2 Light Assault Guns on hardpoints (forward facing)

EDIT: Fix'd the fix to the fixed fix of the ship sheet.

We shall call the ship 'HYPERION'.

> Check turret status (if automated, etc).

> Do some mercenary work. Contact Corvus II Space station for some jobs.

All of your weapons can be turned to autofire at any enemy ships in range only the weapons I'll mark PD can fire at Incoming missles and are most effective against enemy fighters.
The turrets are arranged as the circular points are on the picture they have 120 Degrees of turning each but the two at the back can cross over their fire.
The Light Machine Gun shoots in bursts of up to 10 salvos of 20 rounds. That will use your 1000 rounds up pretty fast though.

this is the ship sheet without the annoying Paint writing STILL BIG!

[NoahTophatz]

how far can you go with a unit of fuel?
how long does a unit of supplies last?

[Ehndras]

o_O

Starfarer Suggestion Game??

They haven't even started adding the story/adventure content yet, but alright... Atleast now there's a pirate and Tri-Halcyon station as of the last update.

I'm in. =)

[Heavy Weapons Pony]

A full unit of fuel would last about a day and a half less if you have more than 2 battles in a day. So about 1/4 way across the system at our current speed.
A full unit of supplies would last about 3 days but keep in mind these are used to repair and refit your ship aswell.

[Heavy Weapons Pony]

After checking if your engines and shields work you decide to go out for a little target practice to warm up the guns, You also tell your crew to emblazon The Hyperion on the side of your newly named ship.

After destroying a few dozen local asteroids you decide to go back to the Hegemony Station to see if there is any Mercenary work to be done.
Turns out there is.

TASK                            REWARD
> Clear out local bandits. 500c and anything you can salvage from the wrecked hulls of their ships.
> Investigate reports of a Pirate Base in the Asteroid Belt and eliminate if possible. 1000c and anything you deem fit to take from their Murderous, Law Breaking hands.
> Destroy the Pirate infestation of this system completely by invading and destroying their Hidden Base in the rings of Corvus II 30,000c + The rights to own an Orbital Station.

>Clear out some bandits.

We should test out our weapons on something more lively before taking on big jobs.

Aye. +1 to choice

[Heavy Weapons Pony]

I'm not sure if you want to not do the mission and just go after some random bandits or do the mission to go after bandits.

Remember the Station has a dock for ships, some can be for sale and a weapons (for your ships) and equipment shop.

NEXT UPDATE: Tomorrow, time: whenever I remember, Contents: Whatever you guys have said in the meantime.

[Gotdamnmiracle]

A tall, voidborn marine steps forward, into the captain's chambers and salutes. "Good cycle, sir! Permission to speak freely, sir?"

After being given permission to speak the marine says, bearing unchanged "Sir, it has come to my attention that we have no assault team. I would like to volunteer my services as leader of an assault team for lampreying onto and overcoming vessels. I realize that this may seem premature but I would feel safer if we organized it and had it handy rather than throw something together last minute. Respectively, sir."

(I think we want to do the mission. By the way Good luck on the forum game!!!)

[Gotdamnmiracle]

Also we should change the name to Non Servium. Meaning I will not serve.

Also lets visit the shop before anything else. Do we have ammunition? We might want to buy gattling bullets if we hope to ANYTHING bandits unless we are looking to get boarded and massacred.

[Heavy Weapons Pony]

((Supplies contain ammunition, ammo is limited in-battle however it is assumed in the hours/days between battles your crew reloads the guns and missles.))

After a lengthy discussion with the contractor on the station you decide to try to take out some local Bandits for 500 Credits, He gives you a contract stating:

To whomever it may concern here are your orders for this contract.
1: Destroy the small Bandit fleets that occasionally try to attack and destroy the small Merchant Fleets that come to this Station for trade and to resupply.
2: Bring back either their Captains ship (destroyed or not) the after mentioned "Black Daemon" or the Captain Herself.
3: If any Hegemony Patrol encounters these Bandits you must do your best to help them in the conflict. This Months Pass-code for peaceful interactions with a Hegemony Fleet is: "What is dead shall never rise" (Expires in 2 weeks you can ask for the new pass-code for 100 Credits)

After reading and groaning at point 3 you go to the Stations Equipment Shop
For Sale are:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

46 Marines,127 Green Crew, 84 Regular Crew, 24 Veteran Crew, 1 Elite Crew Member, 427 Units of Supplies, 346 Units of Fuel, and many assorted weapons (you can ask about them if you want, not many will be able to be mounted on your Frigate)

After a brief Conversation with the head of the small force of Marines you have aboard your ship you decide to Let him [You can name him if you want and the three others!] issue orders and form squads for the small force you have now and any other Marines you will inevitably have to Hire.

What to do next? Hang around the Station for awhile? Hunt down some Bandits? or whatever else you guys might come up with.
