Heads up on shis engines : There are 2 basic modes of high speed travel.
1. Slipstream : Requiring a basic Slip Drive that allow travel at near the speed of light (typically x1/4 to x1/2) and beyond. Various slip drives have different acceleration and maximum speeds without being subjected to temporal dilation as you travel at relativistic speeds.
2. Hyperspace : Requiring and extremely sensitive Hyperdrive this allows ships to move between stars but can only be done a specific "Jump Points" found in most systems. Each jump point only leads to one other star system. Most star systems have 1-3 jump points but some have 5-10 with these acting as military and trade hubs.

Minor update / revision to ship systems : added hyperdrive. The hyperdrive damage is currently beyond repair but with enough time you might be able to patch it, or find an alternative . . .

Ship systems (left side of the ship character sheet) are those listed in the game rules. Ship features are Things I added that make sense for a ship with this level of tech and in this setting. (Let me know if anything needs work or adjusting) Engineering is basically a machine shop, foundry, with 3d printers, chip fabricators, etc. While tied to most ship systems it is not a system in and of itself anymore than the Bridge is a ship system. Both house interfaces needed to control/monitor ship systems.

If you want to sped up over basic thing feel free to let me know general objectives with any specific actions and I can narrate results.
Ex : we search the 1st officers rooms with special intrest in the books and drawers then add a roll. But if you preffer more deteailed posting/rpg/stories thats fine. Just making sure you are aware of options

I’ve got some other things on my plate right now, so I’m going to drop out, but it was fun playing with you all. You are free to keep Adonis as an NPC if you’d like.

Thanks for the heads up. Sorry to see you go

If I am making this too slow let me know. I am an engineer so think of the time it takes in life to fix stuff, mixed with a bit of sci-fi TV fictional future history. I haven't run a sci-fi game before so am totally open to feedback.

Would you like to open the game for another player or stick with the 4 we have?
Jun 18, 2024 6:21 pm
Bye, QuingSolaris! It was fun playing with you!

I am open to having another player. It depends on what everyone else thinks.

I am fine for another player.

I opened the game but will hold off on advertising the opening for now.
I will give it another day for Cathamber to roll their save before moving on.
I think I will just move things along a bit, rather that holding back responses due to the time actions may take, and tell you how long any action takes so we can get to the next event and/or you can continue your investigations. That is something I am working on balancing and as this game tends to have more time consuming activities I decided just to streamline it.

FYI - Now until july 1st I am going to be really busy at work. My store inventory is the 1st and I have to get it ready. So my posting will be erratic as I will be working major overtime and may not have time to post. I am talking about a store that has over a million dollars in product and pharmaceuticals and every item including store supplies must be counted.

I will be getting back to regular posting after that as i am taking a vacation the week of the 7th to recharge but I am staying home and only doing day trips so i should be back to regular posting then.

Bye QuingSolaris! It was great playing with you, hopefully there will be another opportunity in the future.

As for Psyber question, I'm ok with inviting a new player. Also on keeping Adonis around.

We had 2 players post interest so I will make it work without any retcon (activating creative narrative solution mode)

KaeJae & Turanel2 welcome to the story both of you
Jun 26, 2024 12:25 pm
Looking forward to getting into the game. Catching up on all the threads!
Jun 26, 2024 8:32 pm
