Quote:example of a cruiser - klingon bird of pray from enterprise (few angry men and a big crew)
Excuse the trekker in me...
the Bird of prey would be more gunboat-class than cruiser. Those things had a standard of 40 or so crew members tops, most ran with far less than that.
and to onca... i'm pretty close with my firefly as well, crew of five - captain(and pilot), merc/gunner, ex lane hacker, engineer, and diplomat/vip.
Do you need to have humans for your crew? In all my ships, that need more than one person to run the ship, I RP that they are all humanoid robots with AI.

Is that acceptable?
there's robots at docking control centers, i dont see why not.
I consider my Gunboat to be analog to a WWII PT boat:
Crew of 10-20, I only have two that I actively RP. Commander Donovan Markey and Comms Officer Josh Blake.

I consider the whole thing a bit of a muddle. I waded through SIXTEEN BLOODY PAGES of various whining/arguments/excellent posts.
I have an idea: Everyone go play some other game for a while, like EVE or WoW, then come back and appreciate the RP here.
My two bits, take it how you will.

Eve Infinity right? I was thinking of buying that game, but I wasn't sure. Is it more like FL or like WoW? I mean do you fly in a ship, or do you control an entire fleet from top view; I didn't understand the Wikipedia page or the box in the game store when it came to this.

I wish we encountered each other. I'd gladly let you guard Z21 along with myself (unless I was ordered otherwise). Alas, our timezones seem to differ too much...
