FT RP of Epic Proportions Sign-Up!

Hokay, so, I was reading up on the Yuuzang Vong(spl?) war on wookieepedia (www.wookieepedia.com) and thought "ZOMG!!! IT WOULD BE TEH COOLZORZ TO HAVE A MASSIVE INVASIONS OF THE GALAXY!!!!!!1111ONE," and that it would also raise interest and activity of FT on NS.

Basically the story goes like so: Massive invasion fleet from another galaxy appears on the fringes of the NS galaxy. Everyone goes "ZOMG!!!! WTF???" and big war to save the galaxy. As you can see I'm making it rather...open, so that we can mold this story however we feel like it.

So basically, I(and perhaps a few others if I so choose) shall double as our own nations and the invaders, and everyone else just plays themselves. You don't need to ally with everyone or anything, just do what you want.

NOTE: I have the right to refuse those who I feel will lower the quality of the RP. For instance, people who make posts containing only one sentance that hasn't got proper sentance structure, grammar, punctuation and all that good stuff you learn about in english class.

By the by, how do you guys think this should work? Spread out over different threads for each battle, incident, event? Or one single huge thread with a compilation of everything?
Morvonia
10-10-2006, 01:12
mos def multiple, one huge thread with all these nation getting attacked or trying to ask for help, or what not would just be way to confusing, this also makes sure that we can keep the pace much easier.


what tag would we put on these threads? like FT-EPIC or something like that?
Amazonian Beasts
10-10-2006, 01:53
GFTW-Great FT War

Or we could do one huge thing. I'm actually in favor of one huge thing, because generally these things lose interest when spread out, through experience.

what do you mean by hackneyed plots? because my character has certain abilities....in a universe where you can fire a singularity (SP?) torpedo x 1000 at the enemy, i sure as hell hope it is not about his ability or maybe my lack of RP skills in general which is somthing i do not hide, 2) if you do not like that i dont use proper sentencing for most of my posts and are willing to stay out of RPs because of it, leave the game and become a teacher, if you already are then good for you, you never left school.

I really dont get why you feel the need to come home after whatever the hell it is you do, and, instead of helping fellow players get better, you feel you must insult and redicule them, what at school did you get bullied by bad spellers, and vowed to get revenge on all bad spellers around the world or are you just someone who thinks that because you have 6000+ posts then that means you have bigger brain and/or man junk than me.

in the end, i will try to better myself, but coming in here and acting like this...well, that is pretty obvious eh buddy?
Taledonia
11-10-2006, 03:51
Actually it is in the main time stream. LNI, your "Hive" ships make it great, they could take out one of your ships or something, slaughter a big portion of your people.

Anyways, to answer how this will all come together, the storyline is pretty much open to how we play it, but we do have a bit of a set outcome. At first, the invaders will pretty much pwn all of us, killing many, but then an incident which won't be revealed just yet(Chron is insisting I keep things secret to make you guys die in anticipation). But yeah, him and me will basically just wield the mighty swarm and pillage, plunder and all that good stuff for awhile, so expect fighting all of you, and be prepared to lose people.

I work in a fast food restaraunt, and I'm intolerant of those that don't put effort into their endeavours, that's why I'm not gonna be working there much longer. It does not look like any effort has been put into your typing. The effort required to use proper sentence structure, capitalization, and grammar, is minimal, and yet your posts do not reflect this. What then shall I expect from your RP? Is it enjoyable to read something that is nothing more than wall of text, without structure or flow? Because I am here to enjoy myself, and anything that I do not enjoy is not worth my time.

If it wasn't obvious, the point might be missed, jawohl? The only point being, of course, that your writing is iffy, and I am leery of RPing with anyone that types as you do. I have had plenty of poor experiences with such, IE: Mationbuds, Waterhelper, TFU(he's improved, I'll grant that much), and Seph. It is not my desire to repeat those experiences.

I could rant about why it's nice to have grammar and sentence structure for hours, but it's a rather moot point. I apprecaite writing that displays, in my opinion, a degree of effort. I make no claims to having perfect grammar, or spelling. I often make typoes. But I try. If that's the best you can do, it's the best you can do, and I will say no more.

Speaking as someone who edits fiction as a sort of semi-paid hobby (will be taking on a new author by the name of Scott Juris--self-published, with a series of novels called "Demon Hunter" that could have used my help and about to try to take the next step and submit a novel to a couple of big-time publishers), I understand where that's coming from, too. Still, gotta say that the guy should be given a chance to get better. Bitching about it won't help him.

Speaking of bitching, just wanted to give you folks the heads-up that Taledonia has dropped out of the last two RP's of his that I've participated in well before the story was complete. If you're going to be taking him up on his offer, you'd better be prepared to have someone else take on the leadership role if he drops out of this one, too.

Ain't I just the least hypocritical, most helpful guy around? :) :) :)

Oh well...guess I'll just go back to Anrion's RP and let my guts twist up over his chronic misuse of homophones...not to mention Bek's general sloppiness that makes me think that Morve might have a second country...

I'll be using blatantly stolen tech from, err, let's see... Star Wars again. :D

Imperial fleet vehicles for the win!

EDIT:

The Atopian Space Force has been called to full strength:

Military: 42,700,000
Reserve: 512,400,000

The ASF now stands at 555,100,000 men and women.

Many - 183,101,000 - of the ASF crews and supports Atopia's Life Vessels, which hold the remnants of the Atopian society (who are currently en route to a new world). The ALVs are in turn defended by the Main Line of the ASF (some 371,999,000 people).

The Main Line is comprised of a hundred Super Star Destroyers (each with a crew complement of 279,144 people), all with their own bomber and fighter wings.

In support, there are 10 Sovereign-class Star Dreadnoughts (each with a crew of 605,745), 20 Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyers, and 5 Executor-class SSDs. Each Executor is a Flagship.

The Second Line consists of 20,000 examples of the Star Destroyer Mk II, again with indigenous fighter and bomber units.

In the Third Line, there are 200 cruiser-class vessels, of assorted types, 250 Star Destroyers, and over a hundred thousand fighters and bombers, again of varying classes. Some of the Second Line fighters are deployed from the ALVs.

Finally, the ALVs also supply the fleet tenders, namely 10 World Devestators.

There is also the Secret Weapons Division, which is a joint Atopian-Skgorrian operation.

It should be noted that while the ALVs have decent firepower, they rely mainly on their shields and their escort fleet for defence. They are worldships, designed for living in, and not combat.

150 x Nebulon B-2 = 168,000
230 x Assault Frigate II = 1,035,000
250 x Corellian gunship = 22,500
Fighter groups (Not carried on ships) = 4,000,000 (70/30 TIE Defender/Scimitar Assault Bomber mix, number includes support crew)
Total for Skgorrian Space Forces = 27,617,805
Skgorrian Army – 7 million strong

Remainder is admin staff - quite small, but I'm relying on automation and droids

Make your own flagship, that's what I did. It's a mix of scientific stuff, SW, and ST...into a better fusion.
If you're gonna use SW, though, I'd seriously use a Sovereign-class SSD, or an Eclipse-class.

CHANGE OF PLAN!

The Atopian Space Force Grand Fleet consists of the following ships:

Imperium-class Ultra Star Destroyer Interstellar Anarchist
Imperium-class Ultra Star Destroyer Vanguard
Imperium-class Ultra Star Destroyer Proletarian's Revenge
Imperium-class Ultra Star Destroyer Liberty or Death
Imperium-class Ultra Star Destroyer Glorious

Each Imperium-class comes equipped with a small fleet of capital ships, thousands of fighters, and innumerable support craft. The Imperium-class has virtually unlimited range since each carries several World Devastators to produce needed supplies. It is rumoured that there is cloning capability on board each vessel.

The ALVs have also been jettisoned. :D

Those five vessels are Atopiana.

I must query your use of the word "anything", as I strongly doubt that mangoes, fresh or otherwise, would 'blast apart' even a TIE fighter. Unless, of course, one was to launch them at close to lightspeed, but then it's relativity and not the mango that's doing the damage.

Perhaps a spitball? No, still too inoffensive. Ah! Goldfish, maybe? Or, perhaps, a water balloon to the exhaust ports?

Perhaps a spitball? No, still too inoffensive. Ah! Goldfish, maybe? Or, perhaps, a water balloon to the exhaust ports?

W/e, You obviously dont know how to Role Play On NS.

Ok, dude, don't take it like that...that is even more annoying...it's a figure of speech.

Hehe, next time I'll remember the ":p"

It was a joke, but sometimes I forget that on the intermoose the lack of facial expression and vocal intonation leads to mistakes.


Those star destroyers are the most umanuverable things in the world. A ST ship could run circles around it.

Which is, of course, why each one carries its own support fleet. In the case of the Ultra-classes that make up Atopiana, this is everything from Star Destroyers through fuel tenders to fighters and shuttles. :D

*shrug* An SW ship can put terajoules (or at least megajoules) more power into it's weapons than an ST ship, and it's hyperdrive can get an SW ship into a combat zone months before a Warp drive can.

I'm wondering how you even kill an armored warship that is 161 miles long. That's almost as long as some states (Not counting the really small ones). Not to mention the accompanying fleets.

Maybe wait until they fall apart from disrepair.

Actually, he could mine raw resources with the World Devastators, and I'm sure the ships would include repair teams and fabrication plants to make new armor and parts. Any large scale repairs would be a problem, though... Like if a section of one of the big 'uns got blown off, it couldn't be replaced.

I'm wondering how you don't recognise a warship that's 161 miles long as an incredible godmod. Y'know, considering that's bigger than most nation's fleets. Nations who are ten times larger than him, and have fleets a tenth the size of that?

As I recall, one nublet tried to bring out a 141 kilometre ship at one time. He was summarily ignored by all. I see no reason not to apply the same treatment to this wanker. But, hey. I'm not in the RP. You can lower, or raise your standards as much as you like. Your choice.

Mm. If the average capship is 1 kilometre long, his ships are around 274 kilometres long. We can naturally assume an equal disparity of size in height and width, to boot.

So, in essence, one of these ships is equal to 20,570,824 normal capships. And is someone claimed to have twenty million kilometre-long capships, they'd be ignored quicker than.. well, I could say IGNORED.

The Grand Fleet is: Five Imperium Ultra-class Star Destroyers. Further info to be found here: http://www.wolfsshipyard.mystarship.com/Drawings/SW/Imperium.gif

And here: http://wolfsshipyard.mystarship.com/SWars.html

"The embodiment of Palpatine's plans for extra-galactic conquest, the Imperium would have been as powerful as a Death Star, but much more mobile. Equipped with a small fleet of capital ships, thousands of fighters, and innumerable support craft, the Imperium would have had virtually unlimited range since it would also have carried several World Devastators to produce needed supplies. With this ship, the immortal Palpatine would have spread the Empire across the universe. Rumors suggest that the crew would also have been "immortal" as well, thanks to cloning equipment that would have been onboard. Thankfully, Palpatine was not as immortal as he had hoped, and the ship never progressed beyond initial planning before his final death. While some die-hard Imperials wanted to try and actually build it to use against the New Republic, saner heads prevailed and the Imperium remained only a terrible dream."

The Atopians trashed their solar system to build all five - and had to leave in search of a new homeworld...

I couldn't understand what that guy would only use swarms of the 100's at me. My sky platform is way too massive for such a small assault. Of course, from the looks of things, he was aiming for the drahks too, and attacking them is suicide.
