    What Should be in an H Bunker?

    Whatever weapons are in there are probably sourced after Reconnaissance has taken what they need from the outdated equipment pool, so I'd imagine they're quite dusty. But generally you don't want to put top of the line stuff in a bunker where they'd probably be out of date anyway by the time the...

    Just a passing thought but is there a reason why there isn't a RIKUPAT panel for Rikugun-centric professions? I suppose the question is how readily embarked Rikugun can act the same as fully qualified naval personnel wearing their same panel colours. But I don't imagine in a panic you want to...

    I'm going to point out that these last few comments seem targetted at me, because I've made some MOS' recently. All my MOS' exist for very good reasons, have been approved and are currently being planned to be used in plots. We don't need to have all things be used by all plots, otherwise half...

    I dunno about qualifications. Then you end up with characters constantly taking months of training. Plus some powergamery people might use training as an excuse to make "one-man armies" or overshadow other players who enjoy RPing a specific role. Experience through RP is one thing but training...

    On Whisper's point: For a very very long time I've wanted to play as a damage control officer, but while technically a position on Yamataian ships, in practice it would be one of the dullest professions around, even if I'd find it supremely interesting to run around fighting fires and using the...

    Fair enough, I stand corrected. Very interesting to see that there is actually a ship and fleet command training regimen listed there for officers. I'm not sure if that's currently observed before promoting people into XO/CO/Admiralty positions. The 7 month mandatory minimum training before...

    I have an interesting take on this which I know Wes and I have discussed before in Discord. My manner of thinking is that all of the MOS' are sensible - what I mean by that is they're worthwhile to play as from a narrative and character development perspective. By reducing the number of MOS'...

    What is your favorite way to build a sci-fi setting?

    I'm with Kylindra. Planned RP outside of solo threads is self-defeating in my opinion. There's not much point in collaborative writing if it's not reactive to what your collaborators do. Reacting to what other player characters do in the moment is one of the primary responsibilities of being a...

    What Should Star Army's Rules Include?

    If there's a two-way administrator ruling, remember that it's two way and not just for your benefit - don't try to do things that you'd report the other person for. That's bad faith. Oh, and don't ever edit other people's character pages without their consent.

    TO: Star Army Command, Planet Yamatai FROM: Shosho Kimberly Kier, Admiral, Task Force Zero Command, It's come to my attention that the Star Army has been ramping up its involvement with Gashmere. Task Force Zero has been on station in orbit around Gashmere for 6 years now preparing in case...

    Would it be possible to raise an incident with YEMA via the Yamataian Emergency Aid Line?

    It's nice how it has national and regional levels like the Star Army Readiness Conditions do. Should make it easy to put both alerts up at once.

    Senate: Passed Proposal#120 - Formation of the Yamatai Emergency Management Agency

    "Respectfully, I have total confidence in the leadership of my system. I'm worried about places like the Motoyoshi Colonial Sector which have corporate as well as national agendas. Ruling families and shareholders don't necessarily care more about people outside their constituency as much as...

    Senate: Passed Proposal#120 - Formation of the Yamatai Emergency Management Agency

    "What are the penalties that can be imposed on regions not in compliance with the Agency's standards?" Senator Iemochi spoke up, "The Proposal doesn't enumerate what powers they are being given in order to incentivise or support this endeavour." He hummed as he read it over again, "If certain...
