Interest Check Nepleslian Fleet Based Plot

Sure, pick one and give it a name.
Click to expand...

I'll go with a Hray and play forward scout, since it looks like we've got a flotilla of special snowflakes instead of escorts. Wouldn't want to be the one destroyer. That's like asking to be a redshirt!

It'll either be called the "NSS Gone H.A.M." (no relation to the GM) or "NSS Malice Aforethought," because all the Hray does is perform sick murders from stealth.
 
Okay, we got three in an hour. Looks like I'm NPC'ing a number of destroyers as escorts. Anywho, I'm going to finish working on a new character then draft up the Fleet/Plot page. In the mean time, write a captain to act as the...captain in any JP's you all want to do or anything of that type.

Ship List (By Player):
  • NSS Remembrance - Orca (Flagship), Numerous Escorts and Enemies, (GM)
  • NSS Leviathan - Spectre Class Escort Carrier (Gunhand)
  • NSS True Count - Blackjack Class Crusier (Legix)
  • NSS Gone H.A.M. - Hray Class Stealth Gunship (Raz)
Now comes the fun parts...WRITING PAGES!

TFW a Blackjack is totally an escort.

Totally. Because it can blow holes in anything that opposes the fleet.

:^)

Edit: Also, why not let people play a battlegroup of Destroyers? They're meant to be smol fry, so letting someone command a small squadron of smaller craft seems reasonable.
 
I take it from the ship names we're going to be srs bsnss Neps rather than Nep-a-Cola Classic™ :p
 
First thread will being BOR-ING with a fleet maneuvers kind of thing until I get the go ahead form the FMs to start a war.
 
TFW all of our captains secretly dom the fleet leader in the bedroom.

Oh wait, that's not appropes.
 
Your not late, and the more the merrier. Just give the ship a name and I'll add it to my WIP Roster.
 
@HAMnJAM - You could always let one person play a set of characters if we involve smaller ships. Could make us feel bigger/float the boat with personality. That is, if we want to keep shrinking the ship's available resources.
 
That was my original idea, where the player plays the ship's CREW. Primarily the bridge crew.

And for Cordinarr, I'd prefer the Atlas for now, as we need more dedicated escorts at this time.
 
I just realized I still haven't given a name for the Atlas I'd be taking over. NSS Vigilance is what I'm going with. I had come up with others, but I think that one be more citting for its role. Its crew on the other hand...

What sort of roles would there be for the bridge crew? Pilot, co-pilot, comms, status officer?
 
Captain, tactical officer, pilot, navigator, sensors operator, comms officer, chief engineer (usually not on the bridge, though)... It looks like the Atlas has a bridge crew of eight, so anything else appropriate to the ship's role could be added without anyone needing to perform multiple functions.
 
So we've been given a confused greenlight by a fair few. I will consult with Gunhand in the next few days to finalize the name and get a working first thread going. In the meantime, write your captain and crews.

Admiral's on deck, and prepping condition red, stand ready to set sail after Christmas!
 
For clarity's sake — submission approval was not required. As long as Gunhand gives you folks approval, you're gold.
 
Going even further, since everything starts as an "open RP," we don't even need permission to get going. Though it's great Gunhand's on board!

I'll do my captain/ship soon. Might go with an Atlas, too, since two Atlases are better than one Hray or one Atlas. Is there any particular template you'd like us to use, @HAMnJAM? Should we create a ship page and just list crewmember names with brief character summaries? Make a captain in the "character:" namespace?
