I recently had an idea... wanted to run it by everyone and start things off. I started a new Char called "The Nebula Star". She is basically a luxury liner that will do passenger, VIP and goods related runs throughout Sirius. I was going to make her Orbital Spa & Cruise but then thought it would be much more interesting for all if she were an independent liner - and I'll explain why in a bit. - She can be chartered, used for events etc (not sure how that will work in RP but gimme time...) and will also do tours for the uber rich and the like. She will also be a fully functioning city unto herself - which means she will have (several) bars, which we all seem to like to frequent.
I've made her independent because i would like it to be possible for people who would be hostile to orbital spa and cruise to board her and use her facilities in Role play:
ie why im putting this in the story section because i would like this thread to be open to all who might or might not spend time on her. In the single player game, Luxury liners are open to everyone to board, spend time on and leave, so i would like this ship to be the same. Practically i'll be the one flying her - but, if anyone wants to RP a stay, a meeting or whatever on board (especially if she is near/in your general area) then i was thinking that that story could also be posted here - what does everyone think?
Pirates are going to tax her of course, although if not they could tailor their own RP around it - as the ship is independent her captain will assure discretion is followed at all times, so, while the head of the local Lane Hacker faction might be sipping martinis onboard - WE would never announce that in system (including to his own people:)
- that being said... she is a new character, so before you guys start plundering her clientel - keep the taxes down to your standard one or 2 mil - im gonna have to do a fair few runs with the cargo i want to trade to make up some money - I want her to be a civilian liner, which means, passengers, vips, consumer goods, small amounts of cargo that could be considered personal items etc... so, no bulk runs of diamonds:)
I will also RP my own stories on here, they may or may not interact with your own. I'm thinking at the end of each thread i might say approximately where she is so if you wanna role play her being near you, you can.
I can think of no better neutral ground for two underworld figures to meet then in an independent jacuzzi in space? no? Want your policeman's ball to be held on board? haha go ahead... you follow where im going.
PM me with suggestions, or whatever else you think might be fun.
