Hey everyone, my name's K-C and I'm a new member to this board!
A bit about me: I started roleplaying online maybe twelve years ago, spent most of that time in a love-hate relationship with a board I was a part of. Most of the writing there was focused around solo works, short stories especially, which were graded by admins at the end of the story who decided whether you would get the things you asked for/used in your story.
Player v Player combat was much the same way, and over time my niche became destroying other characters. I've noticed the combat here is much more player based and story driven and I'm looking forward to learning more about it as my time here grows.
Anyways, I recognize that's not at all how most play-by-post sites work, and I'm eager to jump into the rich history of this site and the miasma of information to glean. Even if the task resembles drinking from a firehose. I do have a couple questions for starters though.
Firstly, how does equipment work? From what I understand our characters can use mass-produced pieces of equipment without issue, but things we see in The Factory are more exclusive? My second question is tied to this as well - do ships work much the same way? What if I do not add in my equipment and ship until a later date? Are characters allowed to be Works in Progress while we get a better grip on the mechanics of the site?
As well, how do credits work? Do we generally just have what we say we have and are self-policed into making it a reasonable amount based on our characters?
I feel like I'm getting a little bogged down in the technical aspects but I'm excited to write again regardless! It's been a bit since my last time
and that phrase is never a good thing to hear.
Working on my character now, hoping to make a mercenary sort to try and work with as diverse a group of players as I can. If you're interested in writing together once she's finished feel free to hit me up!
Thanks again.
