FAR Universe, an FT world [sign-up, open]

[FAR Concord]

The FAR (Future Tech Alternative world Roleplay) is a persistent world dedicated to a FT universe. Politics, wars, and factions will take on more meaning than just the random one shot RPs that are scattered about, because what is RPed effect the whole FAR universe. The people who join make a FT civilization and how ever many species they want in it, and then RP what ever they want so long as it does step on existing cannon. Players are encouraged to play from multiple perspectives in the RPs rather than a topdown RTS style that is common on NS, This is by no means required though. Factions, alliances, and treaties will form between players and of course there will be war but between the war there will be the stories of your nation and its mark on the stars of the FAR universe.

Each person will start on ten square on the 100x100 grid map, that is where your nations homeplanet and claimed space is. From there you can RP what you like in your square and can expanded to other squares through expansion or colonization. there are some set rules to keep everyone operating within the same universe. Each person can RP different races coming into their empire after they start, first contacts with natives and such so long as an App is filled out for the species. How its nation acts is up to you there are no OoC rules preventing you from any IC activity, so if planet destroying is your thing go for it. However there are OoC rules for what can be allowed and for conduct which is at the listed below.

FAR signup form and examples

The first section is basic and is to be expected on a RP group, however a few of you may not be familiar with the Dominate culture category. A culture is a way of life for people, on earth there are dozens of cultures and even those cultures can be broken down. a dominate one is one that influence the largest number of people and can be considered a accurate representation of the overall culture. Government Information is for any Information or special facts you would like to add about your civilization.

Technology focus is referring to what your nation focus on researching and what kind of technology they prefer using. If you imagine technology progression and fields like a tree it is asking what branches your people prefer and study. You cannot be vague or categorize things by saying something like Armor or Shield, that will not work because so many things fall under that you must explain it to the best of your abilities but you don’t have to go all a line or two will do. Doctrine is referring to the most commonly used strategy and most common building philosophy your people use, a good example is Fighter/Carrier doctrines, Capital, Cruiser or gunboat ship doctrines. Foreign policy and information is where you can go into detail on how your nation acts and how it handles its military.

Another special categories here is Technological Age and FTL Age . The Age refers to how far along you think your people are compared to modern earth while FTL Age is asking for how long have you had FTL capabilities. For people with more than 300 years of technological age and 40 years of FTL it is expected that you have a social or cultural element slowing expansion. for those extremely high numbers it is expected that you do not expand any more, however if you wish to RP a once glorious empire and now you have learned your lessen and confined your self to a few systems go ahead. FTL type is important but simple term for it will do either it is Warping space, Traveling to/using t some other dimension or truly going FTL, if it does not fall into any of these type other and describe it.(Warp, Dimension, FTL, Other)

There is no hard limit on how large your population can be but I expect any population over 150 billion to have numerous issues and limited power projection. Sphere of Influence is a special category you will not be used to and is slightly out of context here but it is referring to how large of an area your people actively colonize, explore, and watch. The larger it is the more unexplored and unused areas there are in your space. (small, medium or Large)

Because select members of the community vote on whether or not you can join it is suggested you put forth as much effort as you can. The last group of questions is information for those voters, How often you can RP, what inspired your technology and links to past Rps.

Rules

1. Do not God mod you will be banned if you do it.
2. You can claim up to 10 squares when you start
3. If there is to much distance if two people agree on it one wormhole, which allows instant travel, can be RPed as existing between your nation this is so anyone can RP with each other
4. You can not use or reverse engineer precursor tech at all.
5. No time manipulations

Regulations

1. Each Square is 10 Light years by 10 light years in size
2. Each Square can have up to 7 systems in it but you don’t have to have that many
3. There can be up to 10 Planets in a system though you don’t have to have that many
4. Terraforming is expected to take 10 or 15 years
5. your normal space ships that you use in RPs can only be 400,000,000 square meters so no 6 or 15 kilometer ships.

Suggestions for RPing

1. Instead of calling them squares call them constellations
2. don’t RP your territory as being filled to the brim with pristine inhabitable plaents, make them rare so they have more value.

[Anthonea]

The FAR verse is a RP galaxy for FT nation to have a actual world with borders trade and politics to work around. Each person is allowed to start on one square on a 100x100 map after that its up to the RP to decided what happens next, will you conquer nation and build an Empire that Palptine would be jealous of, discover the meaning of the universe, or explore the galaxy? What is in each square you control is up to you just be courteous to other RPers and what they already created, because once cannon it cannot be changed.

Nations will fall and rise, wan and wax don't worry this is expected and encouraged. In this world anything you can think of is allowed and anything can happen, think of it has EVE, Halo, 40k, Starwars, Stargate, Star trek coming together with a NS style to them. RP space pirates, Wars, factions politics and anything else so long as you dont break the rules it will be allowed. On Friday of this week the IC thread will be made. If you have any question about RP, the FAR verse, how to get started or anything you can think of TG me I will be as helpful as possible.

Rules

There are Rules such as a speed limit on how fast FTL can go, 182.5 times the speed of light or taking two days to travel one light year.

How large each square is, 10 light years by 10 light years.

the maximum number of stars per square is 7 it can be lower than this and have super novaed stars and black holes but no more than 7

What other players RP is cannon you cannot ignore it

You cannot RP and infinite anything everything must have a source even if just fluff.

Your nation cannot be on earth as there is no earth in this world, however you can be humans.

This is not the milky way.

Godmodding will be banned on Second offense regardless, if first offense severe enough then you will be banned on the first.
(while this may seem harsh it for quality since who can join will be fairly open) tg me on godmodding if your not sure.

Other
There is a FAR region called the FAR community

what you can do is fairly open if you want a 40k style nation go for it a Galatic Republic Go for it a EVE style empire or Halo like nation go for it.

While earth may not be allowed earth like planets are so dont worry about that.

you can RP as a person in your nation or as the nation its self.

All war threads once the IC start will be fought on a different thread so as to not clutter up the main thread, however troop movement before a war is allowed and small fights are as well.

Will add map later

Are stargates allowed, ones that allow faster travel?

pending review. what do the rest of you think?
Large expensive Stagates(eve style) that connect two points between them im think 365 times the speed of light but still not instant.

Hey mate I might get people to join but can you spell my name right? Lol!

Yes please invite people the more the better, what are you talking about I never spelled your name with an E instead of an A.
