USDF Spaceship RTD (Ended.)
« on: June 09, 2010, 05:53:09 pm »

Alright, it looks like RTDs are the only thing I enjoy doing, and since Squad RTD went failtrain, here's another one. This is mainly a space combat RTD, but your main goal is to save humanity. So you can land on planets and explore, though you might be needed elsewhere. THIS IS A FREE EXPLORING GAME.

The year is 2415. You are a crew member of a currently unnamed USDF (United Sol Defense Force) Panther class frigate. It's up to you guys to decide a name.

You are currently docked at Reach space station, which is orbiting Titania.

Your ship's computers are filled with history. Just ask about anything (once per turn) and you will get what you asked for, it may be brief if I can't be bothered to type anymore in.

BEFORE YOU THINK ABOUT LEAVING YOUR POST:
As XXX, it's your responsibility to stay at your post until you are needed elsewhere, if you don't, your captain is fit to punish you any way he/she wants.

BEFORE YOU PICK CAPTAIN:
As captain, you are responsible for your entire crew.
As captain, your men will rely on you to keep them alive. And you will do everything in your power to keep them alive.
As captain, you make all the big decisions. Think before giving orders.
As captain, you are fit to punish crew members any way you want, though you'd better have a good reason.

BEFORE YOU PICK CO-PILOT:
As co-pilot, it's your duty to take over from your Captain if:
  The captain is deceased.
  The captain is insane (crew members vote).
  The captain is away, or missing.
  The captain is captured.
As co-pilot, you control the frontal guns until needed elsewhere.

BEFORE YOU PICK ENGINEER:
As engineer, you will do everything in your power to keep this ship running.

How experience works.
Every time you do something right, you get one point in the skill's direction.
Basic [0/4] Every time you roll a 1, you roll another dice. If it rolls a 3 or less, your roll still counts as a 1. If it rolls a 4 or higher, your roll counts as a 2. This cuts your epic fail rates in half.
Trained [0/12] All epic fails count as a regular fail.
Expert [0/24] All Overshoots count as regular success.

Neat, maybe I'll check this out. For the technology levels, some of the ones from 10 to 19 could be interchangeable somewhat, but I guess it works. A technology level 31 civ would be the Q of Star Trek and possibly some of the other noncorporeal beings.

It looked like you already named it the Panther.

How about Aztec Jaguar?

Can there be more than one engineer? If not, I'll pick gunner, right side. Also, what does APIMGT stand for?

"Panther" is the class name.

There can only be one of each.

Check the ship's stats for the meaning of APIMGT.

Well, you guys have forum names that can easily be made into character names, mine can't be so easily.

Yea, saw that after I posted. I'm kind of tired today, so I wasn't really looking I guess.
