3000 wooo,

eh, yeah, um we really need to talk about this. As a group, everyone, as i imagined the crew being no larger then 800 (84 was the number I had in mind, but 800 seems plausible from compromise, I mean, the ship was small in my mind).


Others could be small maintenance robots or droids. Makes sense if the world is not trying to send their best through a warp gate to God knows where.

We're still working on that, I'm not quite sure. I know it's been modified with armor to withstand the forces of warp travel, and for extend exploration. I personally imagine it as rather small. Like a small transport. At most I imagine it having five decks, but three decks is what I think it has, the upper decks more for managment, coms, and commanding officers quarters. The 2nd deck would be infantry, weapons, engineering. and the third would also be engineering I think, with a hefty cargo space.

We should discuss all this, but I don't even know if the weapons layout is approved by everyone.

I meant something like this.

The ship is 4 kilometer long, 2 kilometer wide, and 1 kilometer tall. The ship is also capable of housing 3,000 personnel, with 1,000 rooms.

The ship is 4 kilometers long?!!!! Do you know how big that is? The ship is the size of a small dreadnought!

If the ship is this long, then it's carrying capacity is at least 50,000 people.

Race: Human
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Appearance: [spoiler](Image)
Role: Fighter Pilot
Equipment and Weapons: Laser Pistol, His usual flight suit, and his privately owned fighter craft
Skills: Non-assisted piloting of small craft, Escort and Assault flight, and little known fact (Really good cook)
Personality: He is a bold man who is more than confident in his skills as a fighter pilot and his confidence is something that even harsh training under harsh conditions cannot hinder. Considering this he is also known to speak casually on the way to and from the area of operations along with hitting on some of the ladies whom he feels is appealing. Sometimes he is instantly shot down on his numerous passes at the young lady but he continues about his life as normal and as if a tiny bit more than nothing has happened.
History:
A professional crop duster on his home world and part time chef at a local resturant. His skills was noticed by the empress herself and was offered an opportunity to become part of the military with a few personal blessings bestowed by her. The catch however was that he was to pass a test of chivalry, which happened to be somewhat less known throughout the other nations and he did his best to exceed her expectations which granted him the ability to become part of the Lumarian military with a solid bonus of a personal star fighter to use for his missions.

600 yards by 240 yards; sounds reasonable.

I was personally thinking more 3 fields by 1 fields but 600 yards sounds fine to me.

I have yet to recieve additional feedback on the dimensions of the ship. I've said what I think, I just need to see if anyone supports one of the ideas before finalizing. At the moment, I have no reason to deny him. I would accept him, and will most likely accept him, once the group comes to an agreement.

To tell the truth, I was thinking the crew would have been 23 members, and thought 84 maybe at max. but I see now that others would like something far bigger, and i need to know just how large the craft is. We have an image we are using for the craft;

but I had other images in mind as well to represent the Odysseus.

I would assume so, I... took the liberty to give the Umbrex their own language, which I represent in the IC via the Slovak language.

Unionese (another element I took the liberty to add) is the standard that the crew would use to communicate, Unionese is a constructed language. It's full name is The United Standard Tongue. It was created by the Union prior to it's economic collapse. It is represented in game via the English Language.

Now then, I've finally improved the weapons section, and added the recent characters (I'm still going to wait to list the third pilot until we have the ship situation sorted out).

Alright then.

I guess this means I will be able to speak to other Lumar in our native tongue.

Possibly, we don't have to get into specifics, we are just using real languages to represent them in game.

Umbrex = Slovak

Unionese = English

Lumar = ???

It's just to help us get through, if we made up a language it'd be harder to have people join us.
