I just set up my Order chars few weeks ago and I want to prove my skills and try work my way into the primary fleet. Now, I had seen some guys flying with Order| tag who's RP skills definitely can be matched with mine. I won't go further and say that I witnesses some disappointing behaviour as well...
I want to participate in this one. Don't just exclude all indys, it's elitism and generalisation. Not good at all
Indies are welcome in my book. let`s not pile all indies in the "dimwit section".
on topic: the Core rarely/never shows its face in Iota. maybe a recon run there with a small batch of fighters can be arranged to get the ball rolling?
Seeing as we have, despite our best efforts, failed to nip any "indie vs. faction" debate in the bud, let us nevertheless note that all the actual work and suggestions to help construct this is coming from Dash, a faction member.
But I digress: if you want to take part, then contribute to setting the thing up. Post here with ideas/suggestions/ways to make the world a better place. If possible a series of events, not all large, perhaps skirmishes. And real tanglible goals.
Ahh,yes I agree.
Maybe it would be better idea to have few smaller events which are leading to some huge battle.
If we go with nomad power cell, first event would be maybe to stop enemy barricade at some JH before reaching that JH with nomad power cell and securing those jump holes.
Then rescue missions for some important officers which ships have been damaged in defending those jump holes...or something like that.
And then at end we all meet up in Lost for huge battle or something.
I don't have some good imagination for such things :(
That's actually a brilliant string of ideas, Tommy.
We could do it in a linear fashion, like that, or to make the RP environment a bit more hectic and believable, we could stage several smaller events at the same time.
Let me brainstorm briefly...
We should have a different group of events supposedly happening concurrently, with different people in each event. Some could be grabbing a powercell for some reason, some could be rescuing some officers, some could be investigating that good old "unidentified powersource" that's somewhere. Some could be hunting down a Nomad ship that somehow slips past scanners... I'm just tossing out random ideas. We'd probably have three of these.
And all these events which would happen at the same time could all be pieces of the puzzle that is the plot. The members from each of these events would later meet up in the larger event, and the plot would also come together, with brilliant roleplay and such.
And perhaps the BHG could have some of these smaller "vignettes," some of which would cross over with the Order "vignettes."
Sort of like a series of short stories or scenes leading up to a play or book in which the major plot elements (items, research, recon collected) from each are woven together.
If we wanted to grab the powercell, the Wilde could set an ambush on the way back and try to stop us from getting it to Minor.
And then, of course, we'd have Wilde from the south (and maybe 92, the north) Nomads from the north and east, and BHG/Order in the middle for the big event.
