The Etherium

[chase.way]

Yes something like this ! Unique, original not killing oriented, loving it.

Gonna give it a whole read when I get some sleep.

Either way - when you let go, and stop holding on so tightly, life can actually be fun - you can't steer a train, but you can RIDE it!

As a member of this RP back on the old Discovery Redemption Server, I will fully support this. Glad to see this idea hasn't died yet, Infrared. Let the Etherium come forth once more! If it becomes a faction

Would love to fly under the Etherium tag again.

Why is the Gallia/Maquis Destroyer so damn sexy? Also when are Maquis gonna stop having the ugliest engines in the game?

After some further thought I don't really see the need for this to be a closed faction if the ID is rewritten to reflect the ZOI and behaviours of Etherium I have outlined. In fact this was an obstacle we encountered the first time around.

At that time my solution was the sickness I mention here - http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread...pid1480443 A common problem with RPG's is that, no matter the faction chosen, someone will come along and get the RP completely wrong, no matter how hard they try, and this can limit RP immersion.

The Etherium scope of mental stability is very wide, from being calculated superhuman intellectuals, to the point where the very sick and insanely crazy delusional ones may fully believe and insist they are human terrorists, or call themselves scary things like Phantoms (we all know this is going to happen in someones encounter at some point, right?). This has all been covered and it would actually be a faction goal to find these very sick individuals and try to "cure" them.

Not saying it has to be open, just saying it really doesn't have to be closed either.

Also if a Mod sees this could you please move this thread to General Discussion, as that seems to be where everyone is talking about this stuff? Thanks.

Shard - The Faceless One

If you are wondering why this looks as refined as it is it is because it has seen over a year of play on another server. During that time there were no incidents of harmful gameplay and the RP was alot of fun. There is alot I haven't posted here, which is more along the lines of story lore and interaction on that server that I can't really re-use here, but it makes good reference material for how Etherium can be played. If you would like a link to this material, please drop me a PM and I'll send it to you.

Bumping the request for this to be moved to RP General Discussion, where the discussion on this topic seems to be happening. Thanks in advance.

Neat ideas. I'd look forward to seeing this as the new Phooms.

[Markus_Janus]

Wow this is a really interesting idea, I love it.
You can count me in as soon as you get up and running.

All right, read it all. Man, that is one wonderfully written idea.
This has my full support, if my vote counts in this matter.

Would you hunt for Iridium traders/miners and such, or mine yourself ?

Also great work to make them dependable on a such commodity, adds diversity and adds something to be important to them, an ongoing mission to supply themselves with Iridium.

Also I see a great possibility for Order to get a friend against nomads, which would actually add some balance to the whole Small order fleet vs Bunch of strong aliens nonsense which happened when Order was crippled by attack.

I really enjoyed reading this. Very nicely done, good concept. Overall, good post OP!

Beautifully scripted, refined (as said). It was one of the "very different" type of story I have read in my yet short-lived disco life.

Gives a new, and as could be seen, an approved idea on the revival of Phantoms. And its described in a much different way unlike linking to what they were before.

Overall, Full support and a well deserved appreciation ()
