ThunderBay | Liberty Assault Battlecruiser - MB52 - 09-08-2009
* Requests should only be made when the character's storyline cannot proceed without a request removing a major obstacle in the character's progress. Requests may only be made for character setups that are prohibited by the Technology Use chart, as indicated by a red or purple cell in the ID/faction group combination. Requests involving specialized IDs are highly discouraged. Requests should only involve IDs that have a faction Tag/IFF associated with them. The Special Operative ID cannot be used without a faction Tag/IFF.
* Requests made for setups that are advantageous to pvp combat will have to meet a much higher standard, and are less likely to be approved.
* The character applying for the request must have existed with its current name and faction affiliation for 25 in game hours. Renamed characters or changes from other faction affiliations must have occurred a minimum of 25 in game hours before the request is made. In other words, the character benefiting from the request must have been role-played actively on the server for at least 25 in game hours before the request is made.
* There must be forum storyline posted in the role-playing forum for the character before the request is made, and it must be sufficient to explain the background, motivations, and server side activities of the character.
Provide the following information for the character (failure to fill in all information will result in immediate rejection of your application) :
1. How long has the character existed on the server in its current form?
Over 148 hours
2. What is the color of the combination of ID and faction group in the Technology use chart for your request?
Uh red I believe
3. What is the exact existing name on the server / future name on the server for the request (if different)
ThunderBay and the same
4. What is the character's existing faction affiliation, Tag, and ID / requested faction affiliation, Tag, and ID
LN Guard / Requesting Order Guard
5. Existing ship used / requested ship
Liberty Battlecruiser/no change
6. Weapons used / requested weapons
Standard Cruiser weapons/ no change
7. Existing zone of operation / requested zone of operation
Liberty/Order Zone of operation
8. Current activities of the character / intended activities after the request (i.e. : piracy, law enforcement,
etc) Which characters, IDs, or factions will be targeted as special enemies by the character?
Defending Liberty from threats / Defending humanity from the Nomad threats, something the Navy seems incapable of doing
9. Provide links to threads in the role-playing forum relevant to the character. If the link is to a post, provide the number of the post in the relevant thread. NO fiction should be posted in your application. It must all be posted in the role-playing forum prior to your request and links provided here.
http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18024 - The main story, final post is most important, but entire story worth a read to see how it got to this point
http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=46542 - The attempted Order- Navy Negotiations begun by Jessica and the ThunderBay, which failed ultimately causing her to lose faith in the Navy
http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?s=...st&p=724885 - Jessica's post declaring her leaving
10. Explain how the character's storyline cannot proceed without this request.
Jessica and her few crew left are stuck with no place to go, they've turned their back on the "corrupt" Liberty and seek another means to protect Humanity and (liberty) from the nomad threat. The Order is an obvious choice to proceed along, otherwise the crew would be required to go rogue and operate alone, which would not work very well. It is now a matter of survival for the ship to join another faction with similar goals to themselves.
11. Explain how the specific elements of the request will create progress in the character's storyline.
Joining the Order will be the best way for Jessica, and the crew of the T-bay to accomplish their goals of saving humanity and liberty from the nomads. They also feel the need to save liberty from itself.
12. Explain the next best alternatives available to the character without this request and why they are insufficient. In other words, what alternative ships or weapons could the character use in its storyline that would not require this request, and why are they not the best choice for the character's story?
At this point there really is no alternative, short of ending the ThunderBay, which is the central theme of the story. Besides that using an Order vessel, however this is insufficient as, the ThunderBay IMO is a required part of the story, the ship is more then a ship, is almost part of the crew, they also do not clearly show that this crew was ex-libertonian and are to be considered traitors to their home
13. Is the requested setup permanent or temporary? If permanent, explain why it should not be temporary. If temporary, explain how, why, and when it will end.
Permanent the crew will fight with the order until the nomads are either beaten or the ship has fallen appart
14. How will this request benefit and/or harm the role-playing of other characters and factions that this character will interact with?
It will benefit the RP of others and my own, as it will add much more variety to the action in the Omicrons. It may cause tensions between certain factions and even other ships, as they may not like serving along side an ex-Liberty vessel. It also opens up RP opportunities for the Navy in this area, as they would likely wish to investigate their missing vessel.
15. What are the relevant diplomatic relationships of the character?
At this time, the ThunderBay has decent rep with the order and shaky rep with the Navy/LSF. She does have contacts within the navy, whom will remain neutral or friendly, however these are far and few in between.
16. What server events involving other characters or factions will be used or have been used to gain access to the requested technology? What hostile opposition is/was involved? Under what conditions can the character be prevented from acquiring the requested technology due to the event?
I've already had an extensive RP session with Jimmy Patterson and the Louisbourg Fortress, with an LN member witnessing the events leading to the T-bay leaving Liberty, screen shots are provided in the Valhalla link above. There also was the ingame peace treaty attempt with the order.
17. What does the character risk or sacrifice to acquire the requested technology?
The main risk is losing friends and loved ones in Liberty. Jess already risked loosing Jimmy's companionship, one that lasted since the character was created. This is also a dangerous venture, lives may be lost in this mission to save humanityberty, including her own
18. Provide any other relevant information about the character that may impact the request.
This move has been a long time coming, I nor my characters never fully agreed with the status of the Order Liberty war. I've also showed by having Decker become infected, that the Nomad scanning may not be fully effective. It is possible the navy or government itself is infested to the core.
ThunderbBay SRP UPDATE Request - Jeremy Hunter - 05-14-2019
1. Exact name of the character:
ThunderBay
2. Link to the request to be amended:
ARCHIVE LINK
3. What exactly do you want changed?
Change the name to Order|CV-Thunderbay, 100% Core on the Order| ID.
4. Why are these changes necessary?
After the Tech Nerf system was introduced, the Thunderbay was stuck at 10% Core. It can't really defend humanity at that power, and as such I began to fix it in INRP.
5. Provide possible links to the relevant forum roleplay.
Some of this forum roleplay is fairly old, as I have worked on this repair job on and off for awhile.
Phoenix Rising: Story between myself and MB52, about what happened with Jessica Porter, and the insinuation the Hunter Family would take care of the Thunderbay - LINK
Lightning Strikes Twice: Story Thread about Ellie Hunter of the Order Science Division repairing the Thunderbay after a catastrophic accident nearly destroyed the ship - LINK
The following Links are all at the bottom of the opening post of Lightning Strikes Twice but I have added them here for a bit of added transparency and ease in looking at everything.
To: Ingenuus Research: Ellie Hunter contacting IRG to assist with repairs - LINK
To: Ashley Harper, Solar Runners: Ellie Hunter contacting the Solar Runners faction to acquire a Grizzy shuttle for a covert operation into Liberty to retrieve the Thunderbay's original schematics off Norfolk/Juneau/Washington. The retrieval/hack of each station was okay'd by @Arbs when he led the [LN] Official Faction under the stipulation I do not mass produce LABCs. RP regarding the retrieval is documented in Lightning Strikes Twice: LINK
To: Michal Golanski: Ellie requests permission to move the Ghost Eye to commence a highly dangerous hack, piggybacking off of the Norfolk Navy Hack that left Norfolk Shipyard's firewall down at the time, according to Arbs - LINK
IRG Project TONITRUS: IRG's project, which upgraded the original power grid of the Thunderbay to use a single IRG Power Core at full power and avoid the feedback issue that nearly destroyed the ship before: LINK
