[OOC: Ok then, as I'm pretty tied up in my Civil War, I haven't done anything RP wise but that lately. However, I was thinking of a way to interact more with the other space powers (or not) around. And since my leaders/main characters/etc. cannot at this time, I wanted to come up with some way of doing it...unofficially...

Now for those who are deeply (no joke) involved in my civil war, Let the Outside Slowly Die (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=117853&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=400), don't worry, for I will not be "slacking off"...however...

This RP will involve my character being in an experimental ship. This is a common way to test tech in SB, build a small experimental ship around the tech and give it a test flight. However, one of the new technologies doesn't go over well with the test ship's space-fold drive (my form of FTL) and the ship gets stranded near the sol system without an FTL drive. (I currently live in the Orion Sector).

Now the character needs to find out which one of the experimental technologies on his ship caused the malfunction, as well as find parts to rebuild his space-fold drive, a technology unique to the Orion Sector. This is where everyone else comes in. On my character's journey, he will come in contact with your ships/colonies/nations and well...interact.

So how about it? Ideas/comments/etc.?]

This would be a way for me to come in contact, at least unofficially, with your nation

My nation's governemnt was recently completely obliterated and my territory split into several smaller nations. Also, many of the ships and deep space stuff went rogue. Would you like to meet one of them?

See, back before my government died, I always kept one or two cruisers in the Sol system to monitor the situations. It was basically just an IC excuse for me to have any idea what was going on there. Well, their job was to search out any unusual occurance and strange events. I think this ship appearing in Sol system would qualify (Even though there is no longer a central government they'd probably still act the same way. It's what the ship and crew were designed for). WOuld that work?

They contact you, give you help, then try to steal the technology, or any of a dozen other options. Good?

One down I guess

I'd like a lot of participants.

We'd be glad to participate, but I'll need to think up an excuse to have a ship near the Sol system. Xanthal generally likes to avoid that region.

I'm in, but only if we keep the number small enough that it doesn't depend on 40 people posting every day.

Lol...I agree.

I was thinking...would it be better for me to make one thread and have everyone come to it...

or would it be better if I made like a "journal" thread...and then went to other people's RP's with my character and his ship?

I may just do this, the more I think about it...

OCC: Don't forget Xanthal, both you and me are going to have ships in the Kupier Belt for that whole "strip mining Pluto" thread.

I've given it some thought, and I will go along with this RP. To further explain what I mentioned in the TG I sent you, Skeelzania has recently dispatched a small fleet to the Kupier Belt on a Rescue/Salvage/Tech Raid mission. I'm sure we could arrange a meeting with your wayward test pilot in your thread.

Skeelzania: I know, but I don't really want to have that RP merge with this one. What we have over there is complicated enough already.

Skeelzania: I know, but I don't really want to have that RP merge with this one. What we have over there is complicated enough already.

It wouldn't have to merge...it would be a mere...sidestory. I also would provide a link to your RP in the "Journal" thread. Not bad advertising, eh?

Still, it's your RP...so do what you wish.

Ugh... That's one RP that really doesn't need advertising. Too many players=bad RP. And like I said, it's too complex already. It's not technically mine, even. It's KuiCorp's. I don't know... I'd be glad to RP with you, but not in any of the around-the-Sol-system RPs I have going now. This would be a seperate venture for me if I were to do it.

-deleted-

This would be a seperate venture for me if I were to do it.

Hmmm...and that's what I'm trying to avoid right now...seperate ventures that is. I would like this journey to span many different RP's...and include them all in his log...

Well, if you don't want to RP that way it's no problem. I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities in the future for us to meet in-character.

lol...with all the RP's you have I'm sure of it 8)

Now...how bout others? I want all the RP's and RPers in them that I can find!

Parmisia is a (yet sadly RP-under-developed) civilisation alone on its planet and struggling to recover from civil war and return to the stars.
I personally am not terribly well informed on theoretical future technology or its implementation in NS, but these little aliens have been running around my head for years. I suppose we're relatively near-future tech, but fairly keen to make progress now that the peoples of the planet are united.

Here's a wandering probe of fairly modest sort:
http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=119096&highlight=

And it links to a thread with a bit of rambling about our recent history and such.

Well, erm.. there you go *tips hat*

I might get involved once I've RPed my arrival, but until I've got first contact sorted out, and the language barrier has been overcome, I can't participate in anything much.

To tierd to come up with some original idea atm..though.. I wouldnt mind if your character came around 'n played.

id be intressted in an RP with ya, need an excuse for having naval assets in sol Perhapes a war game with a power established in the area and in the mist of that exersice we come into contact with your ship or wittness your enginnering causalty.

(i know bad spelling but i dont Spell check unless its a an RP thread 8) )

SB, sounds good and I think this will be a good first RP for my new character, a Bolden Corp trader captain of sorts.

W00t! Two chances for a first contact in under a week!
Count me in.

[EDIT: Am seeink TG. Would hardly call myself a beginner, seeink as the entire nation is contained in a series of spacestations....]

Three Main Confrontations with the possibility of Contact:

1. Nodea Rudav was forced to find a new Homeworld, chosen to be the Planet Novar in the Nova Kretani Solar System, after a meteor caused an apocolyptic chain of events. Information on this issue can be discussed in full if so asked.

2. Patrols in the Sol System were halted due to resource issues, which was basicly the doing of many not wanting to stretch the small Colonial Space Forces.

3. Currently the Ancient Nemesis of all Rudavians, the Imperium, has returned to enslave all Rudavians, Komodren and Birthright Human a-like, through their sworn return so long ago after being defeated via rebellion. This is currently taking place on the New Rudavian Homeworld of Novar.

However, there is an alternative. I can RP one ship having not known about any current events in the Nova Kretani Solar System and be on a Long-Range Exploration Mission in which contact with Colonial Command would be........not so frequent. That way, they would not know of the situation yet have a liable excuse for appearing in the Sol System once more.

Steel Butterfly, I give you the Respectable Honor of deciding weather or not I join and, if am allowed, how I should go about this. I do NOT wish to ruin a Fellow Role Players RP, therefore I ask that, since you thought this up, you choose the way I am allowed to participate, if I am, again, allowed to do so. :D

If I get involved, can I also get the Stalkers involved? The Stalkers are smart, evil, predator, alien creatures that are in A Scream in Space, A Dark Alliance, and A Scream in Space III.

SB, here's a character RP you could join. It would have nothing to do with the story you're making here, but it would be a fun thing we could do together. Anyway, just thought I'd let you know. And yes, this is Xanthal.

often times i have tincan do long range, sometimes covert recon missions of other powers i could find ur ship like that also

bump...

I'm back from break

waiting for you to set up the actaully thread...pm me at uberbrooksie on AIM

This sounds cool, you could run into a protion of my fleet, returning from the New Xanthal conflict between Xanthal and Kecha, but that'd require a different thread. I also have a puppet, Aurora Prima, which occupies the balkanized (and totally fictional) Aurora system. I suppose that after your pilot gets his space-fold drive fixed, he could plot a jump to somewhere, but wind up in Aurora. He could pop into the thread I think I will go set up right about now in which the Aurora system, newly revealed to the NS community, will give choices for which side nations want to help in the civil war. It's always fun to accidentally pop into the middle of a massive battle, isn't it? :wink:

[OOC: Well, with my own civil war going on I might not have any official governemental space assets available up there...

However, the entire Sol is infested with Taraskovyan corporations that nest a bit everywhere they can :?
So I guess you could end up by straggling upon a 'semi-legal' ISTC or SSMC outpost :roll:

After all, one of my asteroid mining stations was taken over by undead who now use to build up space assets... so if they managed to find it... :roll: ]

good...I think I'm getting a decent amount of people together

good...I think I'm getting a decent amount of people together

Sounds good, Im up for it, bee looking for a first contact thread for my nation.

All hail the holy Steel Butterfly with 7777 posts!

I'm up for joining this, would just need a way to bring a ship into it.

Sounds good, Im up for it, bee looking for a first contact thread for my nation.

Hey, I tried! Just nobody else did.........

Hey, Im not knocking you, you tried.

Just looking foreward to getting them off the ground!

ok...I should be starting this RP this weekend

If you're still accepting, I'd like to join as well.

I'm in this RP, right?

that's up to you...this is one of a very small number of SB open RP's.

There will be one main thread - a thread that is like a log, for my character to record his feelings and the what not. In the log, he will give a summary of things, as well as a link....

...a like to the thread where the RP takes place. You see, this RP will span many threads, of already-set-up space RP's.

Oh.

Check this out, maybe your wayward pilot could pop in.
