Invasion of Roche OOC [GR vs Mandos]

Uuuuh... Nickel One will be a large feature. Probably taking up the central six hexes. I know The Central Hub is also a "ground location". I'm... not sure if there is anything else going on outside of those two location.

I'm thinking a fairly extensive asteroid field. I'd like to be able to do... a lot of hide and seek. Think dogfighting in a rat maze. But for capital ships. Maybe a few open areas here and there... the occasional mining barge, mining outpost, civilian city-asteroid, exc. Maybe a couple areas with only really small asteroids... the occasional huge asteroid... *shrug* I'd say go wild.

Buuuut. I'd love the input of the others involved here. The Republic team is split up into four fleets of 2km-7km, and that's without individual commanders splitting up their forces and the Mandalorian fleet will be having several smaller segments branching out independently. So... we'll need some room to work with.

I trust the specifics to you though. I know you do great work. Whatever dimensions you feel would be best, I'll be fine with.

I support the map idea

Traditionally I've worked on 'normal' weapons having a range of 10, long-range 20.
I also work on the speed system first devised for Dark Harvest - 11 - (Speed/2)(Rounded down to min of 1). So a speed 16 destroyer can move 3 hexes a post.

I only ask the above so I know how big to make it.

Due to there being lots of 'terrain' I'd suggest 24x24.

Sounds good to me. Though I know a handful of the ships being used are from the 1.0 and 2.0 guide. So including the old speed system as well as the new speed system would be needed.

I was actually thinking twice that in map size or half that in weapon range. Like... looooots of room to move around and hunt eachother.

I support map, sounds epic. Points for skills and creativity. I also like the idea of it being big.

James will most likely be guarding outposts of miners and civies (cause its what he he does like dat) probably sell spice along the way, buy alcohol, and pick up a few chicks...... So I really like that idea. Also, you might need to include LC-2. If not, its ok. Its James' cannon shadow port that he set up like early on in his career. But its not charted or anything so if it doesn't go on the map and its too much work, that's ok too.

I wondered what the hell LC-2 was. I like the idea of your character just walking out his front door like "The kark? Jimmy, get your *bleep* and get out here!"

Yep, that's about it

That made my day, sir. Made my day.

I would agree...but fleeting battles too often end inconclusively in Invasions. Best have them close so they can engage and maybe get a result.

Well... yeah. That's because writers tend to get bored after the second week or one of the other writers goes on a LOA in the middle of his own event.

*blank stare at Valiens*

I don't know what you mean.

I'll do you guys up a map tomorrow.

 

[ADM. Reshmar]

[member="Captain Larraq"] [member="Valiens Nantaris"] [member="James Justice"] I'm good with a map. It will definitely help.

And dogs. Dogs get buried.

And treasure.

Don't forget treasure.

EDIT: And hatchets.

Hello all, I'm here to fight alongside [member="James Justice"] and The Republic. Dion does not pilot, so I'll either make an appearance on the ground, or hop on a boarding craft to infiltrate one of the enemy's fleet ships. Basically, I'm ready to PvP tangle with any Mandalorians who want to fight a cyborg-sword-guy

So let me know if you wanna fight me as I read through the thread so far!

I have set aside time to post after work as Lisette.

Can't wait to read it!

I know I proposed this a few times in the negotiations and it was never addressed fully, but since we've already got so many third parties running around in the thread, can we recruit someone to roleplay on behalf of the Verpine government?

Playing the political game isn't much fun when the opposition isn't leaving much room for continue rebuttle. Ali's portrail of the locals is... very one-sided.

Edit:
Dont get me wrong. I get the viewpoint of "it's our planet, we control the government." But it's more fun to debate with someone when you're both having to try equally hard to convince someone to believe you. I honestly didn't think it would come upn but I'd really like to see this play out with a third party RPing the Verpine, or nobody doing it.


Edit2: chose my words a bit more politely.

I see you don't have a duelling partner. Do you want to arrange something?

Yeah, sure.

 

[Jaccer Ramirez]

Okay, I'll PM you.

 

[Anija Betna]

[member="Dion Kayl"][member="Irys Arist'lar"] All ally slots are full. Unless you are part of the republic or on the ally list, I'm afraid I will have to say no. You guys need to pay attention to the first post.
