Nashoba Project Questions MegaList

[Hollander]

So, with the Nashoba Project, inevitably I’d run into things I’d have questions about. I’ve done my best to compartmentalize each question into a single digestible query.


RDRS Reskins?
Asking for feedback on what to do with Nashoba’s unfinished work on the RDRS line of reskinned ships. The full question (it's a meaty one) can be found here:
https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/the-nashoba-wip-project.69333/post-445202


Geshrinari Shipyards Mob History?
An old Wes IC post wrote the following: "He'd ended up with Geshrinari Shipyards, a respectable, yet mob-connected producer of various starships, on a starbase that he himself had designed a few sections on"

Did the Geshrinari Shipyards indeed have mob connections at some point? If so, could I get details/years on this, so I can update their history with a line or two about that?

Link to the IC post here (circa 2005 post)
https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/nepleslia-birthing-a-battleship.11935/post-174202

Similarly, the Ayenee-Class wiki article claims that the Geshrinari Shipyards were based in Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia. Is that accurate? If so, when? I’ll update the History section of the Shipyards page. Link: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=corp:geshrinari_shipyards:ayenee_starbase


Fate Of The Ayenee-Class Starbase Over Nepleslia
What Happened to the Ayenee-class Starbase? Was it destroyed? Recycled? I’d like to update its History page with its end, unless it really is still orbiting Nepleslia.


Hachinosu Art
Who made the art for the Hachinosu Rescue Station? I checked his Deviantart, but he didn't put everything he ever made up there.

Discontinued Ships Art
Who did the art for the three ships featured on this page?
https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=corp:geshrinari_shipyards:discontinued


Wes and Nashoba Art Team-ups?
The art for these ships looks like one modeled by Wes and rendered by Nashoba, but I want to ask to be 100% certain.

https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=corp:geshrinari_shipyards:specter_class_starship


Damage Ratings?
Could I ask for confirmation of the damage ratings the following two weapons should have? There's big ole 'Fix Me!' tags that I can't resolve without some assistance in this regard.

Undefined Tenba-Class Modules
At the bottom of the article for Geshrinari products in-development, Nashoba had three Modules intended for the Tenba-class Transporter. The three Module articles are redlinked, and I can’t find any evidence that he spent any time on them or started the articles. They were probably future projects. The modules appear to have been intended to help turn a Tenba-class transporter into a science ship.
https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=corp:geshrinari_shipyards:development

Unless anyone has information on these modules, what I’d like to do is this:

In the Tenba-Class article, there’s a subsection on the ‘Mission Configurable Section’, which lists the modules that could be attached to the ship. I’d like to add these three Modules to that list (even though they don’t have pages). I feel that the names of the modules are self-explanatory, and if a writer or GM really wants to use that module, they should be able to figure out what it’s got. Let me know what you think!

SSS Logos and Flags
Who made the logos and flags for the SSS? I'd bet money it was Nashoba, but I'd like to confirm.

NovaCorp Gateway Tech
What would you like me to do about the NovaCorp Gateway? It's a WormHole tech, which is approved on-site, but I know precious little abou the tech and the desired limitations in terms of speed, distance and so on. I'd love more specific guidance on this one so I can "Do It Right", or if someone with vaster knowlege would be willing to take this one on, I won't complain!

Nayacesen Industrials Logo

SSS Riezon (Liasion) Civvies Serving on Star Army Ships?
The SSS main wiki article had this to say:

=== Riezon (Liaison) ===
This subgroup of Tanken supplies scientific liaison specialists for assignment on [[stararmy:start]] vessels. These personnel are granted honorary rank of [[stararmy:ranks:santo_juni]] or higher depending on their level of expertise. As such they are answerable to the authorities on each vessel. View more [[faction:yamatai:sss:liaison|details about Riezon (Liaison)]].

In [[timeline:ye_31]] with the number of Riezon personnel increasing, the //[[faction:yamatai:sss|SSS]]// started establishing [[faction:yamatai:sss:liaison_offices|Liaison Offices]] at military locations with starships.

Here’s more from the Riezon-specific article:

===== Assignment =====
When assigned to a vessel the person while not controlled by [[stararmy:start]] Regulations are accountable to the authority on the ship. Liaison personnel are expected to behave in a professional manner, and consistent with the ship rules.

Liaison personnel normally wear the [[faction:yamatai:sss:tanken_uniform|Tanken uniform]] during normal duty hours, with a ship's badge created for the ship they are serving on. This helps to keep their civilian status clearly displayed. Liaison personnel are only to personally engage in combat situations of self-defense. The [[stararmy:start]] will provide whatever specific equipment the Liaison person will need while assigned, examples include survival gear, communicators.

The commanding office of the ship can insist that the Liaison member wear the same uniform as their crew. If this option is taken the person will still wear their [[faction:yamatai:sssayscale|SSS rank pin]], and only carry their [[faction:yamatai:sss:standard_issue|SSS issued]] weapons. If the commander should make this decision, then the [[stararmy:start]] will issue the requisite uniform items. These items will be returned over to the [[stararmy:start]] upon completion of the assignment.


Does this jive with what we know about how the Star Army operates? Would these civilians be given an honorary rank and serve on Star Army ships in this manner? I wanted to confirm this before working on these articles any further.


SSS Journeymen Logo

And that's it for now! Answers to these questions would allow me to complete the major parts of the Nashoba project (as far as I'm aware). Thank you!

RDRS ships: I think since these are basically just skins, we should merge them into the main article for that ship class.

Geshrinari Shipyards: They were based on Nepleslia prior to the Nepleslian revolution in YE 28, which is why the Ayenee-class starbase was there. It was considered mob-connected because it was associated with the Reds and the Black Syndicate (e.g. the mafia type group that runs Zen Armaments).

I'll have to answer the rest later, I've got to rest for the night.

 

[Hollander]

I can't edit the original post, however:

Hachinosu Art - Answered!
I figured this one out thanks to Wes' technique specified here. No answer needed!

Discontinued Ships Art - Needs Answering
These may be too old for the Media Manager's history to have survived the 2014 wiki rebuild. Answers are still appreciated!
https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=corp:geshrinari_shipyards:discontinued
Wes and Nashoba Art Team-ups? - Needs Answering
Nashoba uploaded the specter according to the wiki history, but it may still be based on Wes' DOGA work?

Kagayaki Cosmetics Logo - Needs Answering
No history for this one, also likely 2014.

SSS Logos and Flags - Answered!
One of the three logos was made by Nashoba according to the wiki history. As they all have very similar features and traits, and as Nashoba was a major content creator for the SSS, I'm going to presume he made all three. Holler at me if that's not the case!
Nayacesen Industrials Logo - Needs Answering
Likely pre-2014.

SSS Journeymen Logo - Needs Answering
Also likely pre-2014.

Again, there's no major rush on these questions as far as I'm aware. I've already been doing some reviews of the Poku Saeruo Degonjo (Hidden Sun Clan) content, and making notes on what might need updating. Cheers!

 

[Wes]

The Vampire and Ghoul and Type 30 Mass Production Escort are my works. Specter is completely Nashoba's, anything with the G->S logo or with the teal to orange engine coloring is. SSS Logos and journeymen logo are Nashoba's, and Anything Nayacesen Industrials is likely Kyle, it was picked up after Kyle went inactive.

 

[Hollander]

Thanks boss! We're making some phenomenal progress with these works. Below are the only remaining outstanding questions, reposted so it's easier to come back and find them (no rush!).

Discovered another Nashoba WIP page.

Repair on Star Army Space Roleplay

wiki.stararmy.com

This page appears to begin to describe a very general 'injury treatment' item, intended for non-NH's. It's called Repair, but also called Panacea in the same article. I feel such a healing item article would probably need more detail about what it does, how it works, and its limitations. I can spend time to try to do that, but I would feel more comfortable doing so if I knew some limitations I should put in place for the treatment ahead of time.

Is it nanites, can it fix do broken bones or not, etc etc.

Please let me know what you'd like me to do with this one. There's no rush to answer this (or the above) questions of course.

My guess it was supposed to be some some of medical hemosynth-like type "health potion" for use by anyone. If it's a "health potion" that is a consumable injury remover, that could be a handy in-character item to have.

 

[demibear]

Depending on when it was made, definitely sounds like medigel.

 

[Hollander]

Based on this guidance, what I'll do then is write the article as a 'health potion' as Wes described, and I'll submit it through the review process to make sure it's up to snuff and fairly written. I'll read other healing items and I'll try to make sure it fits SARP's rules on that sort of thing. Thanks!

 

[Hollander]

Okay! Repair and Panacea are now fixed up and live!

We do still need answers and feedback on questions in this thread in Post #5 here. (No rush!)

I'm continuing to work on the Hidden Sun Clan update in the meantime.
