who, me?

Yes.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Does every post need to contain RP?

Granted, there's probably better ways to put that question, like "Hey new guy! What does your character do?", but still.

[Aseaheru]

I think that its just when your person is doing something. or like in a battle.

No. I don't know. Generally rubs me the wrong way. Ima take a hike before I say stupid things... On the internet. DO NOT let this cause a flame war because I won't be participating in one.

You say the merchant goodbye, and prepare to leave, in order to hunt some pirates. See, your average space pirate is a very timid beastie, and will not show itself easily. As such, we position ourselves near an asteroid, and lie low. By turning down our engines and other systems, we will not appear as a threat. Still, in order to lure the beastie, we need something better. By nature, space pirates are carnivores, but they're not afraid of attacking weak or killed prey. Our flare and emergency broadcast should make us look like an interesting prey. With the bait set out, it'll only be a short time before the first space pirates arrive

[Commercial break]

See, there's the first one. The vision on the sensors 's a bit poor, though, so we can't identify it yet. It appears to be a young and inexperienced fellow though. I can tell by the absence of scars, the fact that it's weaponry isn't fully developped yet and it's unique war cry. "Your money or your live". Uh-oh. It appears to have detected us as a threat, and is now moving it to attack. Still, it should be easy to scare off, or maybe we can just outrun it.

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.

Spoiler: Memoranda (click to show/hide)

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.

Anyway, going to list combat modifiers just because I can. These are not used in the previous encounter, because the system wasn't ready. These can be subject to additional modifiers from player actions.

For targetting:
Cruiser class weaponry: - 4
No targetting computer: -1
Laser weaponry: +2
Plasma weaponry: +4
MQ targetting sensor: +1 (No sensor= -2)
Evasive manoevres: +2 (Requires thrusters)
Cruiser: -2
Frigate: -1
Corvette:0

Damage:
Cruiser class weaponry: + 4
Depends on rail gun ammo: +X
Cruiser class medium armor: +6
armor damage: -2

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.

[Aseaheru]

Battle stations? and scan the thing?

[Gotdamnmiracle]

Try to get a good scan and evade before turning to attack.

[Aseaheru]

if its a baddie.
but lets get ready anyways.

[TopHat]

I'd say power up and load the weapons, as well as preparing to take evasive action and perhaps launching the fighters.
It's better to power the weapons and not need them, than for the ship to turn out hostile.

[Aseaheru]

lets not launch the fighters, just prep them.
dont want to spook a friendly.

[Gotdamnmiracle]

I'd say power up and load the weapons, as well as preparing to take evasive action and perhaps launching the fighters.
It's better to power the weapons and not need them, than for the ship to turn out hostile.

We can power as we evade, let's make the first move and shoot a scan, before dodging behind an asteroid, loading our weapons as we do so.

"I think that we have ammo still in the scrap cannons, an arrow or two"

[Aseaheru]

yes

[Gotdamnmiracle]

Spoiler: WARNING, GRIPES! (click to show/hide)

yes

(Is this IC or OOC or are you just saying "yes"? I honestly don't understand. I hate to be a boner about this but grrr. Or should I shut up?)

(Without capitalization or punctuation, might I add.)

[Aseaheru]

Thats a both. im with your idea both inside and out.
