well it would operate similar to the brotherhood of Nod
conventional, but lighter forces with some exotic weapons, and stealth tech

Wait... are we allowed to do that? I hate to say it, but sometimes FT RP comes across as nothing more than people showing off their fancy toys.

Vocenae wrote:Yeah, definitely have to say that there is a difference between the actual FT Community and people who just show up to wank in random threads that have very little story or continuity with their nations. If you take the time to read through the Guides and the OP of this thread, you can see that there's a Community thAt has been around for over a decade at this point that has created a rich communal setting based off interactions between players. And most of this actual community cares far more about your nation being a interesting setting in which to tell interesting stories with interesting characters.
As I often tell players, build your nation as a setting, not an actual nation. FT is nothing like MT and while it moves far slower, the actual community threads are far better in terms of quality. Typically the more active threads that masquerade as FT are little more than random p layers (typically from MT or Multiverse) who think owning massive chunks of the Galaxy or multiple galaxies and pocket dimensions within alternate realities are fun and they just want to number wank at each other until the all end up placing each other on ignore.
Remember, 4C. Creativity, Consistency, Collaboration and Compromise. That is how you build connections between players to build something greater than just random threads between random players.

So far, it's just isolated words for technical and social things we don't have, eg, sefo malva, an FTL city ship, and inko, a nation of such ships. (And not just "cities", but cities of particular size and social characteristics.)
Some of their alphabet is a bastardized human alphabet (haven't decided which yet) due to a botched uplift.
The grammar -- if I ever get that far -- will be strange; they ain't human.
No other language; the inko I'll be playing has a population under 100 million people. Their civilization is immense, but a) I'm not gonna worry about all the other nations in it, and b) if there are other languages, well, I hadn't thought about them before.
