- They were the product of a desire to make life easier on the planet Kobol. At first, they were simple robots. Toys. Conversation pieces at parties for the rich and trendy. The Cylons became more advanced. Began to work the mines. Do the hard and dangerous work Man no longer wished to do. And when the people of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol decided to war against each other, the Cylons began to do their fighting and killing for them too. The Cylons were the greatest soldiers the planet had ever seen. Smart. Fast. Deadly. They made decisions without waiting for orders. And then the day came when the Cylons decided to kill their masters. The Twelve Colonies rallied together for the first time in centuries. Betrayed by their own technology, they fought the Cylons with weapons that didn't rely on computers. After a long a bloody struggle, the war finally ended. An Armistice was declared. The Cylons left Kobol for another world to call their own. A remote space station was built where Cylon and Human could meet and maintain diplomatic relations. Every month, the Colonials send an officer. The Cylons send no one. No one has seen or heard from the Cylons in over 40 years.
It has been more than 40 years since the humans of the 12 Colonies of Kobol did battle with the Cylons. Humanity's deadliest enemies are now re-emerging with a vengeance. Following a swift and deadly attack, the human race is once more reduced to a ragtag fleet of fighters, facing a final unwinnable battle. Now you can take part or something like that...

Y'know what, i've been asking myself the same thing for a long time now. I base all of my FT tech (all 2 FT RP's i've done) off of that and the new ships from Stargate. What i've been thinking about would be like a game with various fleets, each player controling only one ship and the major command officers of that vessel, interacting and forming fleets with each other. Making alliances between ships, breaking them, changing sides: fighting for resources... It would make a GREAT MMORPG.

i'd be interested in this.

BG is not your standard Sci-Fi series. its about an attempt to wipeout a species and an RP would not only involve the 12 colonies but any human worlds the fleet come across.

If you need a world to contact New Kirisubo would be as good as any. Just say the fleet makes a jump and appears in the New Kirisban system.

I would be all over a BSG RP. I love that show

I'd LOVE to do a BSG RP, though I'd probably stay away from taking the role of a Viper or Raptor pilot.

Im busy as it is, although I will make a nod towards this RP. Pananab (FT) was largely inspired by Battlestar: Galactica.

Right, i think you should get three battlestars each, (with support) at the start, and we need someone to roleplay the cylons, then the attack happens and you have to rescue civilian ships before leaving the system. Or you could attempt to stand and fight.

i'll do the cylons if nobody else wants the job.

I won't deny it. i love playing bad guys :)

all i need to do is pin down all the names of the cylon models.

you could do the cylons the same way as the BSGs, and I'd say two instead of three, but I don't really care

Why do we start out with multiple ships each? That takes the fun of diplomacy and trade out of it: It's better to have to negotiate to survive. Everyone should have to NEED something too. Make investments in certain things, you know. I'm not taking part in an RP with no challenge.

what i'm thinking is that we pick up the story after the Galactica and the rag tag fleet leave Ragnar station and they shake off the Cylons after destroying one of their own ships. There could be a chance to run into Pegasus later as well.

The challenge is to find fuel, food and supplies and the only way to do that is to find more planets and trade for them.

the stuff on occupied Caprica can also be done while this is going on as well.

Three battlestars is no match for more than two basestars in strait up combat, they only beat the resurection ship because the basestars have lost their fighters. And the attack would be over quickly. Very Quickly

Three battlestars is no match for more than two basestars in strait up combat, they only beat the resurection ship because the basestars have lost their fighters. And the attack would be over quickly. Very Quickly

Why does one player need to be able to take out a basestar?

This is the same as people who won't play a Starfleet Command game unless they can have a fleet of 50 Borg Cubes at their command.

How would you do this then?

Each player has one ship (usually a battlestar, although i'm going to have a Frigate sized ship, maybe.) Whoever is running the RP can throw certain civilian crafts, mercenaries, whatever out... it's basically just the number of ships and power of each player i'm worried about.

1 Battlestar each I'd say, they're big ships.

Plus I'm very interested.

Me and a friend have been rp'ing here as Colonials for a few weeks.

if we're going to run this as being set after the the formation of the rag tag fleet there will only be one battlestar unless the pegasus turns up later on.

all the cylons have to do is pop up occasonally in the story since most of their gameplay will be involving the Boomer cylon and any other copies in the fleet.

Unless this is based on the original BSG :)

I'd be willing to join up if this thing gets off the ground.

put me down, I've been following the new series and was an avid fan of the original series (along with other such classics as Buck Rogers, Space 1999 and to a lesser extent Star Trek: TOS)

Ive decided, one battlestar each
This is set before the attack, and i expect a lot of low-level Rping, ie crewmen and pilots ontop of the strategic stuff.

I claim the Galactica :P

You can join up with civilian ships in reasonable numbers, and ofcourse pick up extraneous forces which you rescue during either a geurilla war in the system or during your escape (me and one other will moderate decisions on that score)

I might draw up a map of the system at the time the attack happened.

I'm going to have a Cruiser sized ship in this, called Prometheus. The idea is that it'll be a bit smaller than a battlestar, but easier to manage and more capable of stand alone operations and communications.

I claim a mining fleet of 3 ships, far off-world when the attack happened, is this ok?

Yeah, choose names, and to stop cylon raiders just picking you off, your ships can be armed with a few ship-to-ship missiles.

it looks like i've got the toasters then :)

give me a shout when you want the nuclear attack on the colonies and the occupation to begin.

can i start with the attack on the armistace talks station? :)

oooh, names, k, Camulus, Sucellos and Epona, all Celtic or Gaulish Dieties.

I’ll be totally unoriginal and go for a Mercury class battlestar (Pegasus class) called Andromeda.

im interested...

I think inter-ship or inter-fleet (if we even have people agree enough to do that) politics should be almost the biggest aspect of this game. For instance, no one here can wage a war or last for long without a big-ass mining/gathering department. That's why almost all of my early investments (minerals laying around in the bays of Prometheus) will go towards some sort of low scale mining based off of Prometheus itself.

So... have we lost interest then?

* pokes thread with a stick *

please don't let this die

If Spizania doesn't want to carry on with it, I'll (or someone else if they want) take up the idea.

Yeah :D

I still want to play the cylons although and could do some of the GMing to help out.

Id play in a BSG RPG, a human corvette sized ship named Vindictive?

I'd take part in a BSG RP too. I'm a big fan of the series, and wondered why something like this hadn't come up before. Is this still going to happen though?

If it is, I'd probably use a Mercury class battlestar.

Pick me!! pick me!! I'd be in as a cylon, if that's ok with Kiri. If not, would it possible to be Earth, when(and if) The humans find it??

considering that theres 2 main humoid cylons that keep popping up (number 6 and the sharon models) they could need someone to play them.

other wise you've got the toasters and the others which pop up from thime to time

I'll take a Battlestar, Solaria. Though the battlestar is one still due for a refit on her fighter squadrens (so there won't be many Vipers that are any higher than Mk II).

Suprised no one else has said this. I'll take the Galactica. Since well, I feel that I am able to take on the role responsibly. I'm the only one I trust enough to do it. >^.^<

Hang on a minute Xenos... I think someone already DID...
Also, Ive been re-reading through these pages about the argueing over how much we could have. I have a counter-idea for this. Keep in mind, the following is a rough idea.
For a Cylon. 20 total cost, max.
BaseStar, 4 pts- comes with 200 raider's and a max of 600
100 Raider's, 2 pts- need's space aboard a BS
Space cannon, 6 pts-Defensive emplacements
Human cylon+300 standard cylons-4 pts.

So you get the idea. This keeps both the things even and balanced, and everyone can award people more points for doing good RP techniques or winning a battle etc. I know, it's lame. But HEY!!, why not??

Here we are, found it. It also disproves my point theory, unless he changes his mind. oh well!!

Kiri, seems as we are both Cylons, do you have MSN so we can begin discussing our plans and the worshipping of god??

Eh. Even if they did, I still don't trust anyone else to play the Galactica well.

Even though it was the thread starter?? And even though imma nuke the fretadda's outta you all anyway?? well... meh... He hasnt posted in a few dayz neway... gues we'll wait and see...

Eh. I don't trust him to play the Galactica. I'll probably sit this out then. Not like he's going anywhere with it, he's letting everyone else do all the work of setting the game up.

No, dont. By 'he hasnt posted in a few days' I meant 'He's probably forgotten about it' As in, if he has, it's yours... Besides, I've been watching the SZ events for a while and I like your style.
Also:Is anyone going to take Colonial One and the ships like that??

Probably not. They're not warships, so folks'd likely as not ignore them.

As to the SZ stuff, it seems to have died out quite a bit. I haven't really been able to do more than post the occasional "eh this is me responding to a trivial event" type reply. Maybe if it'd pick up again. It's unlikely though, since we got flooded with all of these "allies" and they brought along their dumb baggage with them.

lolz. There should be an 'anti bring everyone who can type the URL in' rule for Jolt. I mean, sure, once in a while it's good to get a few thousand ships together and shoot until nothing is left but space dust. But this shouldent happen everytime you use a peashooter one someone. I mean, come on!!

Exactly. I don't get the thousands-o-ships fleet cult either. The Xeno have probably less than 120 ships now. I haven't done a count, but they don't have a whole lot.

Most people consider a "small patrol fleet" to be double that number. >_>

In my First Contact thread, Emergence of the Protectorate, I have a fleet of something like 1515 ships. 1500 of these are fighters, two are scientific vessels and a third is a diplomatic ship. I made sure that my nation was built up so that it would have thousands of large ships at it's disposal. I counter this two ways. 1)I'm based in a galaxy that I wil give the name of, but not the location. and 2)I leave all but a few ships at home. I mean, sure, I COULD pump hundreds of 250 miles long ships into the galaxy solely to destroy a single planet, but my nation isnt like that. And if it was, I'D kick my ass...

Has the BSG concept died? If not then I'd love to get in on this I 'd like to be a cylon.

Nope, not dead. So far your looking like Cylon number 3 then. We're still waiting on things to get ironed out, and for THE GUY WHO'S IDEA IT WAS TO GET OFF HIS TUSHY AND COME DO SOMETHING!!

Good deal, well except for the creator going AWOL, hopefully this thing can get going, sounds like it'd be fun.

Of course it'll be fun. IM in it dude... ME... MO... MA... MI... MU?? Memomamimu!! I need sleep or I stink like poo!! Yodal-eye-ee-who?? My foot is friggin killing me...oo... had to ryhme...uu...

I do have a life outside NS, i am on holiday at the moment,
Cylon, post the thread about the attack on the armistice station to get this going.

Starting the RP without any ground rules or.. organization or anything? >_> Yeah, that's going to go well.

We have the players claims, the ground rules are pretty basic,
1. Use BSG tech
2. Dont Godmod ships appearing
3. My (or the other internal mod (insert name here)) word is final.

Any other ideas

i've set up the IC thread with a brief introduction and the attacks on the colonies.

Hi Five!

First Frakk of the RP! Oh yeah!

Let the game's begin. I plan on using a lot of ground cylons, less space based. Just so we're all clear. Just a question though. Does anyone know how a centurion lands?? (Sorry about my apparent noobiness, but down here they havent started season two yet!! SEASON FRAKKIN TWO!!)

And going off topic for a sec. I always hear arguements between people about the space combats. I wanted your opinions. So, what do you all think of the camera work during it, and the music/sound effects??

Since this has gotten off the ground, I guess I'll say I will probably use a Mercury class battlestar, called the Morphia.

About Centurians landing, they use a ship called a Heavy Raider, which has some pretty cool guns on the front (Kind of like minguns, with big bullets :P) To give you an idea of what it looks like, here are a few pictures that are on the Battlestar Galactica wiki (http://www.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page). Where do you live by the way? I didn't know that Season Two hadn't aired in some areas.

By planning to engage in ground combat more, does that mean you want to board ships as well?

we're only up to episode 6 of season 2 in the UK so i'm sure i've missed a lot as well.

Australia, man. It MIGHT of aired, but probably at a ridiculous times slot. They do it with all the good shows. I memba way back when Stargate first started, it had an 8:30 time slot. By the time the first atlantis series began to air, this had become 1:30/2.

Thanks for the link, checking it out now. I'll probably start my ground assault on the colonies after Kiri mombs them, as he seem's to be following the miniseries assault.

the assault on the colonies has started and Boomer and Helo have arrived on Caprica.

Warshrike, you've got the ball :)

*Passes ball to whoever controls Boomer/Helo/Baltar, or any other survivors we wish to create in the RP that are left on the planets*

i can rp Boomer, Helo and Baltar until anyone esle claims them.

I'm thinking that we can speed events along after the Galactica finds Ragnar station.

Loeben will still be there but the Cylons will arrive too late to stop the Galactica and the fleet escaping.

Then any storyline will be possible. I'm also thinking that the Aaron cylon stays undiscovered on the Galactica and that Boomer could change things by assasinating President Roslin before she gets to the Galactica.

we don't have to stick to the laid down story. theres lot of little twists and turns we can do to make this different

it looks like Warshrike has control of Boomer :)

we also need someone to take control of colonial one.

I only want the caprica boomer for now but, someone else take the fleet one.

And is anyone who's not me or Kiri still alive in here?? *Knocks on people heads, then his own which caves in*

If it helps any, I'm still here. I've been busy the last few days, and have't been able to write up a post yet. It should be up within the next 24 hours.

good post Khaaru :)

once everyone makes their introductary post we'll be able to push ahead.

Warshrike, if you look after cylons on the ground i'll look after the ones in space.

if you need to talk about plot i can be reached at nihongaz@hotmail.com

I'm in.

Here's what I'll be: an armored transport loaded with weapons, whose crew convert it into a warship. Since it doesn't have the navigation program, the Cylon's can't hack it!

My ship is called the Belenos.

Just a note, remember to make sure Adama sends the 'I'm taking command, go to Ragnar Anchorage' message.

I think thats when alot of the Battlestar players will be able to converge

the fleets beginning to gather already around colonial one and i'm sure that message will go out.

i need to check something as well. how many mark 2 and converted mark 7 vipers and raptors would you expect a battlestar to have?

Dunno about Galactica, but I think the fan-agreed number is 40 (2 squadrons of 20) on a Battlestar.

I'd say its probably about 2:1 ratio Mk wise for the Galactica.

thanks wintrees :)

do you feel ready for an attack yet? it won't be that many raiders but the mark 7's may well have a bad day.

Yeah thats no problem. Lets get bloody.

A battlestar (Both Galactica type and Mercury Class) should have 80 Viper Mk. 7s, and at least 4 Raptors, to get 4 viper squadrons. This comes from the wiki I linked to earlier, so I'm sure it's an accurate count.

Remember that the Galactica only has the Mk. 2's becuase they were apart of the museam display. Apart from those vipers, Galactica had nothing, after the only remaining squadron they had was wiped out.

Im going to post that Admiral Nagalla is dead and the taking command of the fleet message in my next post.

OK, Belenos will be making the jump to Ragnar as soon as they finish welding Battlestar-type cannons to their hull.

Hi I can see that i'm a bit of a late comer to the RP but I really thing BSg is kickass! I'd love to RP.

yeah, just choose a ship and join in/

we really need someone to look after colonial one :)

I'll take it so. Thanks. :)

Colonial One + President Roslin yeah?

The battlestar Morphia has arrived at Ragnar Anchorage. Just to alert the cylon players, the Morphia does not have the CNP installed yet. It was going to be installed when they were undering the refit, but since that never happened... yea...

Anyway, the vipers have it, and will still be vunerable to shutdown. Just figured I would point that out now, before I got attacked by the cylons.

since everyone has arrived at Ragnar or about too we can push the storyline ahead.

Loeben will be there as in the mini series but the Aaron and Sharon cylons are still undiscovered.

since Colonial one was never nuked theres already been changes to the story so don't expect this to follow the script.

I've discussed some things with Warshrike and we've cooked up some interesting ideas :D

Yes Askeria, Colonial one is yours :)

Does anyone want to do a side story about the attacks on the Scorpion Naval Yards? We could have the Pegasus escape and come to join us.

didn't the Pegasus have a copy of number 6 aboard?

I haven't seen any of the Pegasus stuff yet so you'll need to bring me up to speed.

I havent, i just stumbled across a basic outline of the story, yes it has a copy of Number six aboard, but were going to scrap the abandon the civilian fleet thing if we do include her

we could rework this and say that Gina was a crew member of the Pegasus or a shipyard worker taken in after the attack. either way she's on board and has been uncovered.

i went to the sci-fi channels pages on BSG and found the storylines but they don't give much detail away.

I suppose we'll have to wing a lot of this.

i'll be the battlestar olympic. it was on a long deep space patrol and didn't get the cnp.

Seems as Im in charge of the ground cylons, I can also take the prison ship since noone else has. After all, you humans need miners... Plus I like the terrorist... He's my equal favourite charrie with Baltar

Considering we will have, what, four battlestars and at least one cruiser (me), the storyline will be somewhat different. I could see the Cylons losing a Base Star in the retreat from Ragnar. Especially since Belenos is going to be jamming their ship with ammo.

FiveBattlestars now excluding you :)
Can we come up with a character list?
i.e. who RPs Adama, Baltar, Ellens, Friscatii etc... just to make sure none of us (mainly me) post about these characters?

the characters i have are Baltar and Boomer since one hears number six talking to him and Boomer is an infiltrator.

I would assume that Spiz would want Lee Adama.

Friscatii is also controled by myself.

The characters under my control include Commander Coy Rivers (who lost it, and is out of play for now), Colonel Jacob Castillo, and the rest of the Battlestar Morphia crew.

The number of battlestar seems a bit big at the moment. Whoever plays the space cylons might want to use a lot of basestars, and really give the colonials a run for thier money.

We want about 4 basestars waiting outside the anchorage rather than two.

four basestars sounds good to me and balances up the capital ships.

the colonials will have to retreat so the story can continue but i'll make sure that theres an interesting system for them to arrive in.

With things going the way they are, I think you will need to deploy more basestars at Ragnar. Might even make it interesting to attack the ships docked at Ragnar.

My crew consists of Captain Richard Drake and first officer Lt. Malcolm Russ, and the rest of Belenos' crew. Drake is returning from a meeting on Galactica, Russ is outside grafting heavy guns to the hull.

Just to remind everyone, the Belenos is NOT A CIVILIAN SHIP. They are a military transport that was carrying heavy arms to Saggitarion. If Captain Drake gave, say, Starbuck, an order that she refused, he could lock her in the brig. Except, of course, the brig on the Belenos is currently loaded with ammo :) .

it may be interesting to send a few raiders into the ion storm and do a hit and run attack.

we know the fleet can't jump in the presence of a ion storm so they'll have to pass the cylons before they jump and the theres still 4 humanoid cylons in the fleet.

i like the way this is going :D

After the jump, make sure that Friscatti screws her XO(there lovers remember :D) , and maybe we can tie the Trinitys female crew chief in with one of the crew from a different battlestar, itl make for a twist when the Cylons activate Friscatti and whos in control of President Roslin, Colonial One and Billy?

How about a few dozen raiders try to blast their way to the station to find out whats happened to Leoben?

good thinking Spizania :)

Lee Adama and Boomer would be back on Galactica by now so they're yours as well to play with.

expect a small attack to come the colonials way.

regarding the hook up it would make sense for it to be a Galactica crew man.

Chief Tyroll may be taken but i'm sure there'll be others who seen Yukiko crying.

Then we have to hook up that woman on the Galacticas deck crew, the one that shoots the Galactica copy of sharon in an incident rather remincent of when that guy shot the man who killed Kennedy.

i'm sure once the crews get to know each other a rendevous can be arranged on cloud nine or the rising star, both luxury liners.

its one of the few places in the fleet where shore leave can be obtained.

if a group from the Trinity and the Galactica can be there on the same evening i'm sure anythings possible.

coincidence can bring them together and then fate can take a hand in pairing people off.

Spizania I'm RP'ing President Roslin, Colonial One and Billy Keikeya

Plus: Sorry long weekend... I'll post soon. Coz I missed the meeting on the Galactica I'll set up something.

Sorry for re-posting...
Spizania: Can you add this to your original post at the start of this thread so new people can kinda get into the spirit of what BSG is all about? It can only get better if we get some more people onboard (instead of us RP'ing all the ships in the fleet).

It has been more than 40 years since the humans of the 12 Colonies of Kobol did battle with the Cylons. Humanity's deadliest enemies are now re-emerging with a vengeance. Following a swift and deadly attack, the human race is once more reduced to a ragtag fleet of fighters, facing a final unwinnable battle. Now you can take part or something like that....

bumped

Spizania i think i've figured out how we can pair Helo and Yukiko off.

He makes it back to the Galactica and finds Boomer still wants Chief Tyroll.

chance leads him to cloud nine where he runs into a party of Trinity crew members on a brief shore leave including Yukiko. Yukiko reminds him so much of Boomer that he rebounds on her and the lonely Yukiko accepts the attention. I think you can work the rest out :fluffle:

it'll mess up the cylons plans but anything can happen here :D

Just to tell everyone, the upgrades on Belenos are complete. Also, the XO on Belenos, Lt. Malcolm Russ, has been promoted to Captain, Second Class.

Spizania: Galactica, as with other battlestars, has two flight pods: One port and one starboard. The flight pods contain the landing bays within the top and the hangar deck along with the launch tubes within the bottom half. Normally these two pods are extended so that the landing bays are open to space, but in order to perform a Jump, the pods must be retracted on a battlestar class such as Galactica's. Now we have seen Colonial One coming into 'dock' inside the landing bay in one of the episodes (Season 1)

Ebedron: Thanks to your link to Battlestar Wiki, kickass! This bit I think is very funny >

So far, [Galactica] only the port landing bay can be used as the starboard landing bay was converted into a gift shop that was made in anticipation of Galactica's transformation into a museum.

Don't we value the credibility of BSG? Major Asshole?

Thats what I said. Either way, I'm finding it hard to get time to write posts up, which is why I haven't been active in the past few days <_<

But really Major Asshole. Can you edit it...?

The Belenos and much of the fleet have jumped.

Just saw the first part of the Pegasus episode, we have to do something like that at some point.

while having the pegasus turning up would be interesting i think we should leave it until Ragnar is out of the way and a government is sorted out.

theres also some matchmaking that needs done as well :)

by then we'll have seen all 3 episodes and know what we are dealing with.

Pegasus was excellent! Can hardly wait untill Tuesday. (When I see the conclusion!) I can only guess at this point.....

Anyway things are going well in the RP.
Ebedron:Can you post OOC here mate? It is destroying the in-mood setting in the RP thread. I get what you mean though. We were leaving Ragnar when you got here. You can get supplies from other ships. And 20 vipers probably got downed because we were up against what 4 Basestars? They have like hundreds of Raiders. You have to expect causlities in that kind of fight.

Plus:Its St.Patrick's Day tommorow so I'll be away. (Maybe the weekend too...got alot of drinking to do! Ah, its great to be Irish!!!)

I've decided I'd like to RP the Columbia. Yes I know you thought it was destroyed but I did leave it on a cliffhanger....

So it can survive ramming a basestar at full speed then?

Spizania: It was severely damaged. Emphasis on Severely. It met up with new resouces and crew and repaired itself. Its not 100% but it still can take on a Basestar or two. We can see how 'fragile' Basestars are up close and personal. Given that the Columbia was at the time of the head-on collision firing all her weapons batteries and missiles it makes sense that the Basestar would fracture. No?

New Discussion Thread: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=474752

bump any new people interested.

what i'm thinking is we can move the story onto something new.

i'm thinking they discover an uninhabited world and having left the cylons behind for now they think they're safe.

the story can centre on the fleet as they decide to carry onto earth or settle down on this new world

ok that would work.

what had been thinking is that someone gets promoted to admirl and has a power struggle with adama.

thats where the pegasus comes into it and when Admiral Cain starts meddling.

thats also an option.

yes but then after that power struggle is overe have Cain come in and have an even bigger power struggle.

Hi guys. I'm back from extended vacation. Lets bring this back to life!

How can one of the Battlestar Commanders be promoted to Admiral unless Adama, leader of the Fleet, doesn't do it?

This is why I think Cain will work.

An idea: Why not have a few Basestars jump in on the fleet by surprise. The fleet decides to jump. They do. But the Bellerophan is left behind..... Cylon Virus in its systems. The rest of the fleet arrive in an uninhabited system. Enter the planet story.... And we could tie the Pegasus into the story by coming to the Bellerophan's aid. What do you think?

o yeah, make me stay behind lol. I didnt think it was much of a virus. Its just supposed to study me. Would they like connect to it when they jump into it?

good idea but remember how the president promoted adama so it would the presidents choice.

Oh yeah! So what way do we want to steer this RP then. Will we use that:

Thoughts?

its good. he should get promoted to admiral for several reasons

1 he commands 5 ships.
2 he has seniority.

i'm happy with the idea of two different substories and adama should be admiral already even before the peggy arrives.

yes he should that way cain can't do a thing because of senority.

what i think should happen is that we get someone to rp Pegasus now. We find a planet, and she pops in, saving me. We move around together, me not getting along with her, so im in Adamas camp. When we come, you are...KOBAL! What happened to Kobal. You find it, me and Pegasus come later. I can rp Pegasus, unless someone else can. Then we move on, then the fight between adama and the admiral. She dies, he becomes leader. We then go on. Someone will need to be with the admiral, atleast think like her.

fine with me.

I can RP a Trinity raptor crew finding the planet while they're exploring for water and minerals and that can start the ball rolling if everyone is happy with that

ok

sounds great. lets get it done.

On the subject of promotions, I think that Captain Drake (Belenos' CO) deserves a promotion to Commander (Adama's rank).

Cylon guy, jump us and il lead the fleet safely out of the engagement zone, short one battlestar ofcourse

On the subject of promotions, I think that Captain Drake (Belenos' CO) deserves a promotion to Commander (Adama's rank).

heres a break down of how it goes with the colonial navy's ranks:

Captain(commands the air wing)
Major (commands group on ship ie damage control, marines, fire control,ect.)
Colonel(ships XO)
Commander(commands 1 ship)
Admiral(commands fleets)

so it would go from captain to major to colonel to commander to admiral.

200 raiders have appeared in the middle of the fleet and 200 more are at standby for the second wave.

also if you are wondering what the other plan is it was an idea that was originally considered for the remake but dropped.

o.k. after we escape the Cylons, with the exception of the Bellerophan, Roslin will promote Adama to Admiral, meanwhile the Pegasus jumps in to the aid of the Bellerophan and Cain is introduced. They then try and find the rest of the fleet at Kobol? Yeah?

fine with me.

Cool! I'm glad this is back!

sounds good.

I have to go for today but I'll post Adama's promotion tomorrow! Try not to have to much fun!
