Warring RPG/Forum Wars/Whatever you call it: Discusion

[Quantum Rain]

First topic message reminder :

Well, I figured to give you guys the choice of what the rpg should be like...rules and all.

[mr33mean]

nah i just talking which one we gonna take cause one is a Heck of a lot faster then the other

[me naam is m]

meh. just say there's an absolute max of warp 12 or something like that

[mr33mean]

sound good i have no problems with that

[Quantum Rain]

Not all travel is warp alone you know,

[me naam is m]

hmm, might rephrase that to 'warp 15 (TOS scale) or equivalent'. outlawing transwarp.

warp 15 = 15^3 = 3375 c, or 3375 times the speed of light. that means you can reach alpha centauri, the closest star to us, in about 41 hours and 30 minutes...

EDIT: screw star trek writer's incompetency! there are like 3 different warp theories, and well, TOS warp scale is slow, TNG warp is too confusing and complicated, and ENT warp is just inconsistent.

[me naam is m]

as for size and crew of ships, i propose something comparable to modern day naval vessels.

[mr33mean]

yea and why don't w emake up our own means of travel and what is ENT

[me naam is m]

ENT is the prequel to TOS with captain archer.

anyway, how FTL is reached doesn't matter to me, but not too fast. 20 light year in a day should be enough, 7300 time the speed of light.

[mr33mean]

k and my bad i just haven't heard anyone use an soemthink like that for enterprise(third favourite)

[SSJ Data]

we should use star trek phasers there slightly more powerfull as in a ship Phaser has a power of 4.5 mega tons wile a ISD tubro laser has a power of 1.5 mega tons unless you account for quantaty then we reach an estament of 36 for a Galaxy class and 48 for the main guns of an ISD

we should just make it a flat 10,000c on speed

[mr33mean]

and yes but do we all want to start with that or have to reaserch to that

[me naam is m]

ii don't care how you call the weapon, as long as end damage remains the same. not wanting to go technical here.

[SSJ Data]

fine the damage limit is 42 for beam weapons

and 100 for missle/torpedo

[me naam is m]

meh. i'd refrain from numbers. numbers tend to scare off potential players. remember, an RPG is mostly about the story!

[mr33mean]

yea and do we want to draw this out and start with really low tech and have to work to get to the bigger stuff

[SSJ Data]

ahh what ev

[me naam is m]

you know what? stop talking, start playing!

[Quantum Rain]

Okay Okay, first off, everything is creatable, from star trek, to star wars, star gate, to battlestar, anything.

Technology, same thing.

Travel, again same thing.

This is the purpose of the game, for imagination to take over, were knowledge could not.

[me naam is m]

exactly. so i propose that quantum just starts off, and we'll see what happens next.

[Quantum Rain]

Originally with thw Warring RPG I had, you could make what you start with, but the FW I still play, you start with Star Wars tech and such. Here, it is a combonation of SW and ST, so what do you think would be best to start off with, guys?

[me naam is m]

i'd say we stay away from both of them, and try something original

[Quantum Rain]

Ah, so that make what you start with but keep it reasonable.

[me naam is m]

yeap.

[mr33mean]

lets do it like stargate like the world is know and just starting to explore

[me naam is m]

i'd say we stay away from both of them, and try something original
