Is it just you two? Weren't there more? Sadly, I have to agree with you on one point : I just don't see what can be done to save the Mikomi plotship with so few players and the track of it's plot stalled as it is. I'm going to make mention of it to Wes and see how he thinks this could be wrapped up/concluded.
Um, well, here's what I intened. What I can tell you was that I intended to introduce a new plotship by the time Sakura Mission 5 / 5th Fleet 'The Master and the Servant' would come to an end (I don't know where Wes is going with his scenario, I'm just crossing my fingers and hope it'll come toa good resolution). With most of the components approved in the tech board in regards of the new stuff I wanted to use in the Kochou-class Escort, I should be able to wrap it all up and finish it in the near future.
I was pretty much slating the YSS Kochou to be a training vessel undergoing field testing at the same time since it was a new class. It was probably going to be like that for 3 OoC months, following the training job offer in the Star Army communication Network. After that, I was hoping to go for a more epic exploration-type plot.
The pacing of the Kochou plotship would probably lean heavily of frequent Single Posts, since my GMing experience came from another forum that followed that method. I find that it also the most advantageous for the people living in other time zones : I did have Sweden players before ^_^;. If there'd be a JP, it'd probably be at a time when everyone would be free, probably on the weekends. If I can focus more on SPs than JPs, this would allow for roleplayers whom are either slow typers or on different timezones to have as much chance to participate witohut having to fight an uphill battle against the culture of speed so common in JPs.
Anyhow, the above is mostly tentative, but I just wanted you guys to know I was working on it and I'll be glad to include Ghi and Masako on it.
