Future Tech Nation

Postby Aquitayne » Sat Jul 30, 2011 3:43 pm

I kind of want to start an FT nation, but I'm not sure how the combat differs, the RP, etc.

I also want to make my soldiers kind of Warhammer 40k oriented. Can I do this? Thanks!

No. It would be a mockery of God.

Wrong forum. This should go in one of the roleplay forums.

First, wrong forum.

Second, you'd be the hundred millionth person to use Warhammer 40k-style tech, weaponry, and soldiers. But, eh, if you wish to, then be my guest.

Oh wait, never mind about the first thing. Still...

So go for it. You'll be the billionth person to do so but yea, we don't much care around these here parts so long as you can write well-ish. Though I've lost count to how many God-Emperors of Man there are. :/

How many future tech/sci-fi/etc. nations are there around here? I've read bits and pieces about nations which are actually interstellar empires, etc.

If you do go with a 40k-like nation, I suggest putting your own personal spin to it. For example, my nation is based of the Imperium of Man, but we are much more friendly toward xenos.

Which makes you a heretic to be hunted down by the Inquisition.

True, but the majority of our citizens also follow the Imperial Truth, rather than the teachings of the Ecclesiarchy. So its not really heresy in our eyes.

If I were you, I'd try RPing a pacifist FT nation. Go focus on trade and culture, and you'll stand out.

But in all seriousness, all I can say about FT war is that most of it is in space... and there's more plasma and lasers. And much larger-scale.

future tech makes combat obsolete

Postby Cameroi » Sun Jul 31, 2011 12:54 am

ok, no it doesn't. not directly, immediately, nor absolutely. a hundred years ago, combative, ideologically prejudiced america, WAS a hotbed of technilogical development. but look at the last 50 years.

once the first flush of spinoffs from the race to the moon had begun to cool, where has technological leadership come from? japan and scandinavia. two of what are now the most pacifistic technologically liberated places on the planet. even places like france have gotten into the act, while america retreats into xenophobic paranoia.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

I can't disagree with that, at all.

The bottom line is 'do what you want, and see who will rp with you'. There's all sorts of groups across the various RP forums, with all different levels of 'acceptable play' and the like. It all depends on what you want to do, who you want to play with, and how much you want to put up with.

The only real limitations are playing within the rules, your own imagination, and who will rp with you on account of your choices. Both the alliances I'm a part of over in NS have high levels of tech, but we tend to try and keep things relatively 'realistic' in regards to interactions between nations, and don't tend to toss around threats of galactic detonations, for example. Other folks out there act like taking out a planet or two is something they do before breakfast. Others only stick to a certain theme, like the 40k bits, some don't want to deal with much outside of those parameters.

It's all relative, and it all depends on the players. Good luck with it, hope you find a concept that works for you, and above all, have fun.
