Future tech alternative world roleplay OoC

[FAR Concord]

Who would be interested in doing a FT AW RP (FAR) with permanent borders, cultures, alliance trade etc. That are only changed by RPs? there will be one unbreakable rule all FTL must average around 182.5 times the speed or taking 2 days to travel one light year with a average of 7 light years between star systems as well as accepting the rule that anything you make that uses new physics/laws/strange tech beyond basic FTL must be voted on by the FAR community and once it has anyone else can use these new physics/laws/strange tech however they want. Ive always thought the biggest issue with the FT RP community on here was it lacked clearly defined rules like the MT does so after watching the Vapor steampunk AW I thought I would try and give FT something similar anyone interested?

Ideas: (if you want to join then post the number and put yes or no or maybe for each idea)

1.I figured a simple non spiral galaxy map divided into 100x100 grid with each grid unit representing 100 by 100 light year area with 7 or 8 star systems and let RPers decided from there what's in their part of the galaxy.

2.An interesting idea for the FAR would be to allow to nations/entity(Borg or hive like people) to occupy the same place on a grid and use a crisscross pattern of colors to show that.

3. I think it would be better if everyone's nation once they join are only 40 or so years after there discovery of FTL, enough so they have a general idea of it and can build around it.

4.Another idea for the Map would be to have routes drawn that crisscross the galaxy where FTL can travel at an average of .3 lightyears a day would encourage trade routes and bottlenecks.

5. Last idea for the map I say allow 5% of the galaxy to be habitable for a species and let each RPer define what their species find habitable if two or more speices is comfortable in a area or they are human than 10% of the galaxy should be habitable.

All this is just ideas I will let the people who want to do this FAR decided which ideas to use or come up with different ideas. I feel strongly, for the sake of fair game there should be no earth based nations and for simplicty we should use a cluster galaxy rather than a spiral one, the human race is allowed though.

Nice! I'll join. Can the inhabitants be android robots who took over the world because their human creators died on that planet that is not Earth?

[Solmakia]

Fine, count me in.
I'll see if I can get some of my fellow FTers wth me...

I demand the be the large, aggressive empire that every fears!
just check my Future Tech factbook out.
my nation is a large nation of machine beings with battle droid armies.

Edit: Ok, your rules are ok, but too complex
I suggest you get a single 25 by 25 grid or something like that, and plot Systems with names.
Each system will have 4-6 planets, and systems will be ruled by nations.
Each nation will have a color, and the systems they control will be colored in their color

[Solmakia]

second post because the first was too long

We need to have a member limit. It gets anoying with several dozen members
I think 6-12 members should be the max.

There should be maybe... 12-24 systems in a 25-25 grid, with each grid space consisting a light year

So, yeah

as i said before, I want to be a Corporate nation of warrior droids.

[FAR Concord]

I didnt realy think my idea was complex just large and able to handle lots of people, I wanted the whole FT community or atleast a large chunk have a place for good fun RPs. But if the first dozen people want selective community so be it this is just an idea thread.

My idea summed up is a 100x100 grid with each square being shaded depending on who lived there. Then let people RP what ever they want in that square with a set average they can use as base numbers. I would prefer leaving alot more up to RP than set amounts of anything it be more interesting that way.

Nice! I'll join. Can the inhabitants be android robots who took over the world because their human creators died on that planet that is not Earth?

Go for it, Be what ever you want if you can imagine it RP it, I not setting any rules other than the speed limit.

If we get more people on here discussing ill make a OoC and sign-up.

Didnt address this oops.

That seems very limited to me I would rather have a sizeable chunk to explore and RP in, also do to the speed limit, distance and different online times you would only be interacting with a 5 or 6 people from your area most of the time and only during huge wars or broad events would the whole thing come together.

Count me in. Personally my nation ICly is future related. I personally would like my nation's setting in the Alpha Centauri system.

Are we RPing in the Milky Way?

Anyway, this thread should be only for signups. We make another thread for RPing.

[Thetopiat]

My nation ICly has four moon bases that is an excuse for my puppets.

[Thetopiat]

If all nations are non-human, then 100% of the galaxy is inhabitable?

[Caecuser]

Tagged for interest.

[FAR Concord]

This is just a discussion thread to see if people are willing and waiting but if you post on here I will send you a TG once I start the signup. but first things first we need to decide how were going to do it which Is what this thread is for.

No we are not playing the milkyway becuase it be to hard to keep up with all the varibles, a simple cluster galaxy will be just as large with out as being as varied in its distance. So no earth based nations you have to make your home world from scratch or work with another RP and have common history.

yes the whole world is habitable but not to every race at once, not everyone has to breath ozygen and be based on carbon, they could consider comfortably warm 150F for all I care but then 32 degrees would be deathly to them. Its all with in the reason of the RPer so long as they dont make a master race that can live everywhere we are good, about when rping 5% of the planets should fall in your comfort zone the rest must be terraformed

[Thetopiat]

But if no milky way=no earth=no humans? Or humans are intergalaxial beings?

[Caecuser]

But if no milky way=no earth=no humans? Or humans are intergalaxial beings?

Maybe you have humans who evolved elsewhere?

[Kingsmouth]

I would do this, on one condition:
I can keep all my existing tech.
Otherwise, splendid idea.

[Caecuser]

Isn't your existing tech composed of Lovecraftian horrors?

[Solmakia]

how about the milky ways was destroyed in some ancient war?
then earth no longer exists
and i still want some kind of map of territories, and I thought 25 by 25 would make it easier to use.

also, how much will we start off with?
and how hard should terraforming be?
details....

Among other things, but primarily, yeah.

[FAR Concord]

Something that's really strange like lovecraftian tech will be voted on by the senior community and if it is agreed on then anyone can use it the same bases as the tech. Which could lead to a 40k style hell hole which would be just as cool as a Starwars space opera or hard scy-fi genre.

All new physics, strange techs and anything that you wouldn't consider normal techs will be voted on by the senior members of the FAR community. However perverting existing techs or new techs voted in is complete OK. So using genetic alteration combined with a noble class you could have physically strong and intelligent monsters that rule, that is OK, that monster using something akin to the force will be voted on though.

But if no milky way=no earth=no humans? Or humans are intergalaxial beings?

As for how humans got to your world that is up to the individual RP there can be multiple groups of humans with different origins all in the same galaxy, with each being true. That might be interesting in the fact all the groups would claim to be the originals and would lead to infighting as each believes his own story. Its up to you guys however if you all come to an agreement about a single origin and some one comes in much later and breaks the cannon of your history it will be up to you to decided whether to do a "built on lies" RP or have that persons post disregarded.

details....

you will start off with one habitual planet and a handful of smaller bodies near you. Your tech should be 40 years after you discovered FTL about the time when it gets widescale use. How your FTL works how it works will be up to you if the senior community wants a single bottleneck reasource (space oil) they can vote on this. I am in favor of a battleneck resource like Nocxium (hard to find resource that forms in super novas in EVE online) that is required for FTL.

things like teraforming(or xenoforming) will be handled by normal laws of phyiscs unless some new technology is voted that could be used to speed it up. It should take the amount of time for the teraforming materials to be placed on the planet and for primary producers to grow(algea or moss) + the time it takes for primary consumers to go though 10 life cycles so about 15 year process if you can have everything avalible right then and if you can afford billions of tons of raw materials.

I am just here to moderate the Idea and inspire a stronger healthier FT community

[Kingsmouth]

Hm. I'l have to pass for now. good luck.

[Militarized Helghan]

Hey count me in. I'd love to do this.

[Solmakia]

im in.
so, who wants to ally with my wardroid armies?

[Militarized Helghan]

I RP as Helghan on the killzone series, so basically I will be a Autocratic Militaristic Corporation who sets expensive airspace tax for ships that pass through my system. Which may cause tensions nearby nations. (Trying to keep posts short, due to my keyboard breaking I am using this slow on the screen keyboard.)

Good Im glad we have people wanting to do this just invite your friends the offical land claim and sign up will start next weekend because then ill be able to photoshop a map on my computer rather than deal with my phone. Until then simply invite FT friends, plan your strategy and your story, having your history intertwined with someone elses before the RP starts would be a cool and would give the galaxy history and a past.

Also heres some rules to decide on I will tally them up next friday when I make all the maps, seals and offical OoC signin thread. which is difficult to do on my phone.

faster travel times with out relying on ships drive completely
1. Hyperspace routes starwars style? yes or no
2. Stargates Eve style that must be built? Yes or no
Having both is an option

Fiction elements that shoulds be allowed and RPed around
Warp/hell 40K style yes or no
Force starwars style yes or no
Resource bottleneck(space oil) yes or no

Choose

100x100 lots of interactions and RP always be something lots of room for cannon RPs. Very Complex and people will have to deal with logistics keep up with poliitcs, factions, wars
50x50 best of both or worst... depends on if your optimistic or pessimistic
25x25 small map limited community less to RP with and will fill up with cannon quickly. Very defined rules very easy borders more focus on minute details not very complex

And

Have each square represent 10x10 LYs with 7-8 planets in them so lots of varity and things to RP with but impossible to keep up with everything.

Have each square represent 1 LY and spread Starsystems out exactly. Exact numbers, very realisitc, very easy to organize for.

I will join! But would you just make your ideas less complex. Although I love the concept!
