Mass Effect: Embers [Complete]

I'm sure I missed it somewhere, but its fairly important.

The Citadel: Has it remained in Sol or has it been moved back to the Serpent Nebula.

Still above Sol, yep.

Hey G-tec, I'm making a frivolous post right now (just because I think it'd be fun and would breathe a bit of life into the Duumvirate) and I have a question about something that might influence how it goes
So umm... Here goes. Can a Corvette move between systems independently, or does it need to accompany a Medium or Heavy Vessel? And if the answer pertains to the latter, can Corvettes move around in the same system without support at the very least?

"Combat Mechanics

Movement of Ships

Light Ships: The lightest and most Agile ships in any given fleet. These are rarely deployed alone, but they can easily tag along with Heavy or Medium ships in long journeys. They can move up to five clusters in a month. Light Ships can make an unlimited number of local FTL jumps if they forego one of their relay jumps. Light ships have one major drawback however: they are unable to be deployed further than two relay jumps away from a controlled Garden or Near Garden planet or up to one relay jump away from a war fleet that comprises carrier-class starships. Space stations act as a controlled planet."

Uhh...


Thanks for reminding me, but once again you've proved that I need to be more aware. I do apologise, I'm still not quite used to roleplays that are mechanically inclined yet, so I hope I can be cut a lil bit of slack, heh

Hah, no worries. No harm in asking. Just check through the first three posts if you have a question - and absolutely feel free to ask if the answer isn't there. If you've thought of a question, odds are good others have too.

And if I haven't answered it, it is a good thing to get stuff concretized for the masses.

So, is there any room left in this RP?

Always room left, what are you interested in?

Something unique, but I guess I'll have to go through the factions and rules to figure out what that'll be.

Fair enough. I think we have the canon factions filled, so something independent be it one of the Asari or Human colonies or something else would be doable. Even a corporation of sorts may be possible. When G gets back he'll be able to help you more than I can.

Plenty of things open. There's the Volus, if you're looking for a canon faction, or anything else would be perfectly fine too - it is a big galaxy, after all.

Tossing another question out there for you G-Tech: what are the restrictions on trading resources between factions? I assume we can't go about handing things over willy-nilly, but is it restricted solely to credits, or can we also trade industry and materials (or even technologies or research points)?

Given you have a connection to another faction, I have no qualms with you swapping credits/industry/materials as much as you wish. Those civilian links should probably still be developing, but I'm not going to ride herd on the specifics.

Transferring technology and the society-wide implementation, on the other hand, is a bit more complex. If someone wants to spend research on creating those systems, I don't mind pulling together mechanics for that - but it'll start out as a gated system for sure.

That makes sense to me! It's also definitely early days for all this so I imagine the rules could change based upon how you see things going. I could imagine some cool 'piracy' mechanics too for longer trade routes. A certain fraction of whatever's traded gets lost to 'overhead' for every system along the route that doesn't have a military vessel stationed there or something.

So, I know earlier we discussed rounding the decimals on starship production and that below .5 is rounded down. So, I come to you with the odd situation of: if a ship has production time of .4 Months, what do?

Edit: That's .4 months from time of purchase.

Alas, even the most efficient production lines cannot reduce the time to fabricate military hardware to nonexistence.

I think I'll probably be going with the Volus, yeah.

Fair enough. I will be content to build things at a minimum of 1 month until we need to build bigger things.

That would be excellent - the Volus have a lot of faction potential.

[Bentus]

Just to check, can Barren and Hostile worlds have 1 Industrial Complex (not major) built on their surface? And are we allowed to have both a major and a minor spaceport on the same planet?

Edit:

Trading buddies! The Spice must flow.

Am I misreading something? Its only been 18 years since the reaper war right?

That's what I am reading as well. Many major characters who survived the Reaper War should be alive still.

Social influences of Indoctrination may be ongoing on some of the more impacted worlds as well.

Except for any Vorcha -_-
Then again, there weren't many named/notable Vorcha to begin with in the series

Well a couple apps I believe said something about decades or centuries having passed, and I seem to remember G’s IC intro saying decades plural so that’s gotten me confused.

18 years.. decades.. close enough I'd say. I'm sure G would have mentioned something if someone said centuries had passed since the Reaper War.

Well IC date is 2204 I believe, and the Reaper War happened in 2186 soooo... Yeah, 18 years
