In my experience, players in PbP tend to be more "passive" when it comes to open-ended, undirected questions (i.e. anyone can answer). We receive much less feedback from each other, and we can't tell if the other players liked the idea and wants to contribute or improve a scene or decision. So we stay quiet.
My suggestion would be for you to "answer" with an opening plot related to this question: "
We ended up in a dangerous situation and our ship was badly damaged. What happened? What was damaged?" and we would take it from your answer as part of an adventure, by describing only
our own character actions.
But I do not know. If anyone wants to answer the red questions, I can contribute.
PS: Normally I would wait quietly, but since it's your first PbP game, I wanted to bring this discussion to the group.
