HEY NEW GUY!

whats your skill?

Well since Ukranian Ranger seems to be gone, I'll just post my skill. Damn I had a good passage doen and everything...
Lucas Knight is a whizz in the engineering bay. Although that differs from the pm I sent ebbor, I'll stick with that. Base him more on my steampunk persona rather then make one up. And from the looks of it...I've been left at the station/planet.

[10ebbor10]

((Nah, not really. Asynchronous RP is a thing))

[Aseaheru]

woops. well, im sure someone will remember and turn us around.
wait, have you joined or have you just asked? because i have an idea.

we hire you and have you look around for things. while you do this.

[Big_James_B]

What "things" would I be looking at? The starship or just supplies? And yeah, I did just ask and then got left behind with mah scotch...
Oh - and ebbor, update the Character List "Lucas Knight" instead of "Lukas Night".

Also, you can see my "response" to hints about recruitment on page 89. You can't miss it, its like the only bold text on the page.

[Aseaheru]

Ah, my bad. i got confused...

[10ebbor10]

You easily get a lock on the Pirate, and manage to get a decent readout on his systems. The ship appears to be a repurposed mining vessel, about 1/4 the size of the Salvation. As far as you can see, it's lightly armed, and hasn't yet been tested in battle. The armour is prindistine, but judging by the electromagentical signature, quite thin. Considering the size of the ship you expect a crew of no more than 8 persons.

As the Pirate arcelerates towards you, a small cargo door opens at the side of the vessel. 3 Missiles are launched, arcing towards your ship. However, given the tremendous distance, it'll take some time before they reach you, giving you time to prepare or return fire.

An NGO wants you to bring humanitary aid towards the pirate controlled sectors in the libertitas system. Technically, the pirates are supposed to be quarantained and bereft of supplies, but the governement doesn't posses the force to maintain the blockade.

A Mining compagny is looking to hire people to find out what happened to it's mining outpost, which was located in one of the sectors taken over by the pirates. They also have security enforcement options for several other mining installations.

Some civilians are having problem with their spacestation. It was recently hit by a micrometeroid, and they need to gather a lot of spare parts for repairs.

You can probably gather more jobs near the black market, or somewhere else.

A large Alliance Cruiser, dating back to the war. Modified and refitted by the crew. The ship's painted in light blue, with several spots and stripes added to aid in visual deception. There are several fake spots on the wings, and stripes to make the ship appear longer. The Engines are painted in a blue/white combination, matching the color of the engine exhaust(in space, in the air it's quite obvious if the engines are on or not). The top bridge is flanked by 2 stars, painted in orange and black. On the sides, the name of the ship is painted in big friendly letters.

If you want an action executed by the crew, just type and bold it. If you want it to be done by your character, please explicitedly state so, and use bold +Italics.
Character actions might be ignored during conflicts or for secret GM reasons.

Spoiler: Memo (click to show/hide)

You might or might not have noticed, but I decided to overhaul the entire roll system behind this game. This should add some variation in the mix.

As such, all players get 16 points to divide over 3 different skills

Spoiler: On RP (click to show/hide)

Frankly, I don't care. Just make sure the action is legible and understandable. If you want some rules, have them.

1. Be nice, respectfull, whatever ... (Obligatory common sense rule)
2. RP is encouraged, but not required/
3. Try to keep IC and OOC seperate. Don't answer OOC to IC questions. (The reverse is fine, but confusing, so maybe better not)
4. Make sure people can tell the stuff apart.

[Big_James_B]

I'm on board then...


"Captain, this is engineering, I'd suggest either trying to blow those missiles out of the "sky", or return fire at the pirates. The engines aren't in the best shape to be doing any fancy evasive manoeuvres and I'd hate to have more work on my hands repairing any more damage then I have to.

Actually, come to think about it who is the Captain of this starship...

[10ebbor10]

((Feel free to decide wherether you're on board or not.))

[TopHat]

I say we:
Blast the missiles with our turrets, then fire a warning with the lasers and railguns, as well as launch the fighters.
Broadcast a message to them suggesting that they surrender in face of our vastly superior weaponry.
The way I think of it, there are three possibilities:
a) they are morons and fight to the death. We easily crush them, loot the wreck, and get a bounty from the government.
b) they surrender. We probably get a bigger bounty from the government, and can take parts of the ship intact
c) they make a run for it. See part a) for what happens next.

[Aseaheru]

lets try to take the ship.

[tryrar]

Tophat seems to have things in hand +1

[Big_James_B]

Does the Salvation have space for prisoners? Do we even have enough security personal and weaponry to keep said prisoners in line?
To be honest they're going to be killed either way - by us or by the government/corporation who hired us anyway. It'd be better to capture them, but we shouldn't put that as our primary concern.

Yes, let us try to bluff them after shooting their missiles.

((Although if they've already decided to attack us...))

[Gotdamnmiracle]

Fire the flak cannon and plasma cannon at the missiles, catching any strays with the fighter quad. Fire a pulse into it's engine room (not to blow it up but to disable it.) Then hail them.

[Aseaheru]

and prep boarders.

[GreatWyrmGold]

These plans sound fine.

Now for some IC.

-----

"I hate space battles. They're just people looking at screens, pressing buttons, and making me all nervous when we get "close" to being hit, which almost never leaves projectiles within visual range. Worse, I never have anything to do, so I just have to sit around or something, trying to stay calm despite the fact that death could arrive any moment without warning or any way to avoid it. It's nerve-wracking."

George sighed, shifting a bit in the crew common area, before abruptly standing up and heading to a nearby computer terminal to see if there were a few spare bytes of RAM the ship's computer could use to load something to read or whatever. He had left his personal computer in his quarters, which were out of earshot from the bridge, and George hated being so far from any knowledge of what was happening in the battle, even though there was nothing he could do about it.
