Development Threads

[Tefka]

Both the Codex and the Factory utilize what we refer to as "Development threads" where players would create a role-play with the "DEV THREAD" prefix to annotate that it's a thread solely for the purpose of developing what they needed for what they submitted to the Factory/Codex.

This prefix has been removed, by vote from the SWRP Staff Team.

A new rule has found it's way into the Factory General Rules (Codex will follow the Factory General Rules for now, but we're working on their own standardized version).

11. Development threads can be prefixed as Private, Public, Faction, or Dominion, Skirmish, Campaign, Duel or Invasion.*
*For Flagship development rules, please see the Flagship template.

HOW IT WORKS​

​

Want a private dev thread?​

​

Create a private thread, finish it, and link to it in your submission.​

​

Want a Faction-only thread?​

​

Create a Faction thread, join up with your Faction buddies and knock it out, then link it.​

​

Want a Public thread?​

​

Create a public thread so anyone can join your merry-go-round, go nuts and get invaded by people you don't like to role-play with, and then link it.​

​

​

What about Flagships?

They have their own prefix because they're super duper special, and the whole thread will only count towards the Flagship.

What about previously existing Development Threads that utilized the Dev Thread prefix?

They're to be considered "Private" threads.

Does this mean it will redact the prefix entirely from all pre-existing threads with that prefix? Not a worry, just a curiousity.

Also, does this have anything to do with the random 72 hour rule (or I guess, 48 hours now?) that was imposed on a bunch of NPC submissions, or is that totally unrelated?

Want a Public thread? Create a public thread so anyone can join your merry-go-round, go nuts and get invaded by people you don't like to role-play with, and then link it.

Status quo achieved.

Question.

How does this relate to Restricted Material development threads that require you to visit a planet controlled by another faction...

Or... any thread where someone from another faction is after a resource, artifact, technology, exc controlled by another faction?


Previously, these sort of 'Development Threads' were simply listed as being open to the faction that owned the planet. This current rule... doesn't really cover that aspect of it.

It remains unchanged from before.
