I agree with sunphoenix here. At first, 128 seemed like a lot, but then everything worked out pretty well. Just had to spread it around a bit.

One question, though. How do attributes tie in with skills?

Gudo: Your guy is still missing goals and some relationships. See the background section of sunphoenix's sheet. Mark down Xenophobic as your flaw. sunphoenix: Just because a skill isn't listed on your sheet doesn't mean it's barred entirely. Most general skills can still be rolled even without train...

Shenantes: Your character sounds interesting enough. You are the tactical officer and effectively second-in-command after the shift commander. sunphoenix: *sigh* Seems like I messed up explaining how many skills you get. Let me clarify. Skills (Loroi): Send/Recieve Mind Shield Signature Detection Sk...

Hmm... Your electrokinesis is a special ability, but still uses telekinesis as its' base skills. From what I gather, Minimus is more about character interaction than raw combat anyway. So the rules of combat abilities are not that important, as long as they work and aren't overpowered. It'll take pr...

Just so you know, your discussion has given me enough ideas for now. And besides, it's gone off-topic as far as I'm concerned. Feel free to continue your discussion, but know that I am no longer looking for an answer to my original problems.

Oh, one other thing that might need clarification. The other two shift commanders (the loroi Torrai Torret and human Commander) are both available for players.

Oh. Uhh.... in any case, I'll be using Minimus. But the skill list provided by icekatze is still highly useful. Here are skills to choose from, and you can also choose from the ones in Minimus. You can also make up your own if you want something that isn't listed here. Due to the large amount of ski...

Seeing the Minmus system, I've decided to give it a shot as well. I'll have to read it more thoroughly before saying anything about character creation rules.

EDIT: Other threads of the game OOC Thread - You're in it IC Thread - Link Characters Thread - Link I hope icekatze doesn't mind me stealing his post format :) ------ ECS-Tempest Class: Prototype/Long-Range Scout (SC) Length: 750 m Deadweight Mass: 1,240 kt Crew: 850 Security Units: 30 Screens: Clas...

It's been a while since I've had the pleasure of playing an RP, instead of running it. I'll take up Dark Green as my color and call dibs on sensors operator of the DeSoto. I'll create a full character as soon as my own game is set up.

I'm torn between the two of them :( But I think I'll go with Icekatze's. Shit though, maybe we can run both at the same time? Huh. How come we didn't think of that before? Is there any reason we can't run more than one RP at a time? Anyway, I say the vote is over. 2 votes for my idea, 4 for icekatz...

Alright. Let's clear something up. Orbital bombardment is not an option for the Logieri. For them, the planet represents many decades and trillions spent on infrastructure development. The Logieri are not (at least at first) willing to destroy decades of effort development over what they believe is ...

Possible positions for ECS-Tempest: There's a number of bridge crew positions. See the notes written on either of these two images. Every labeled seat needs to be filled. Other positions include the Captain and the Loroi Liason Officer. The Captain's position needs to be filled by a human. The Loroi...

I think it would be a good idea to have clear rules on how to deal with spam threads. Like whether to post snarky comments in the spambot-created thread and such.

Before we create any characters, we should have a vote on which concept we're going to use. So, let's vote then.

Martenzo abstains.

Also, a picture of the refitted Tempest (thanks bunnyboy):

I have just realized something. The Internet is, eventually, not going to be big enough to contain the awesomeness and magnificence of the Loroi.[/exaggeration]

Wow, nice concept Martenzo. Although it smells me with star trek expedition thing. Thanks :) And so you know, it should smell a little like star trek. The concept was rooted in what little I knew about that series. Rest assured, the star-trek feeling won't be too overshadowing. I have never actuall...

There the concept is ready. What do you think?

Also, is anyone interested in drawing an image of this heavily-refitted Tempest?

That does sound like a very interesting idea. I think I have ideas already. EDIT:..... I just had an absolutely brilliant idea. I'm going to pitch it by all of you first, though. The game would be set a few years after the Umiak-Loroi war ends, possibly something round like thirty or forty years aft...
