One Sith Flag Ship!

[Darth Ferus]

I mentioned this before, but now that the invasion is over I think it's time to get such a thread started!

In my time I haven't seen one of these threads completed, but that's only because I've only participated in one. Needs four hundred posts, which is more or less equal to four dominions, and it has to be about the flag ship.

Now, how do we do this in a way that will be interesting to everyone? We make more objectives than just the ship building! Ships need money to be created, so in light of this I have the following idea.

Get money.

How those in this thread do so is completely up to them. The Sith Assassins for example will be taking on contracts (Multiple contracts) to kill anyone and everyone they can to get the money to fund such a project.

But I'm curious to see any other objectives people might have to offer. This'll be the first of the OS Flag Ships, so lets make this a beast!

Also, it's the home base of the Sith Assassins, so it'll be a big, big stealth ship.

[member="Darth Ferus"] I have been involved in two of these and from my experience... you need the writers but more then that a solid plan and design for the ship. It is hard to make a post dedicated to a ship when you don't know what you are doing. You could have a team working on x weapon but the end result is going to be y. Hope that makes sense and I'll be there, just we should have as much setup and ready for it.

Oh, the ships almost completely built (So to speak. The submission isn't done but the specs and all that have been discussed thoroughly with [member="Camellia Swift"] )

But that's what this thread is for! These sort of threads die off, and if by completing just one sets off a chain reaction of not only the rest of the One Sith wanting to make another, but other Factions wanting to keep up in this arms race, well.

Hazzah for more RP!

But what did you mean about the x and y thing?

But what did you mean about the x and y thing?

Being that you may focus on something that may not even end up being a part of the ship.

If the thread has a background of the ship as the subject, but the majority of it is full of things unrelated directly (and by directly, I mean as directly as directly gets) then you aren't focusing on the ship, and it won't count as a flagship thread.

Flagships

1. Only Major Factions may own Flagships.

2. Flagships are a prefix located in the Star Wars: Open Role-Playing forum.

3. The requirements of the Flagship thread are as follows:

a. The thread must be a minimum of 400 posts.

b. There must be at least 7 writers actively involved in the thread.

c. The thread is public and is open to any other Major Faction to join.

d. The production - or possession - of the Flagship must be the thread's major focal point.

5. No player may captain a ship over 3,000 meters without the Major Faction Owner's consent.

6. No ship over 3,000 meters will be approved for any Major Faction without a completed Flagship thread.

7. Each Flagship must be labeled Unique.

Slightly understanding.

So essentially, doing side stuff to get money to pay for said ship don't count?

What does the One Sith do best?

INVADE

What does an invasion give you?

A BIG PLANET

What does a Big Planet give you

CITIZENS

What do Citizens give you?

SLAVES

What do Slaves do best?

MINE

What can be mined?

GOLD, OIL AND PRECIOUS METALS

What does that give us?

MONEY, FUEL/MONEY, MONEY!!!!!

What do we need?

MONEY!!

So basically invade a planet, enslave and do not kill, begin building the ship whilst mining for the said items.

The focus of the thread has to be on the obtaining/building of the ship. This means that, while yes obtaining money might logically aid in procuring the ship, the thread should be focused on the ship itself, and not the stuff leading up to it (unless you're stealing the ship or something).

This but also the one flagship thread I was involved in they had stage one gather supplies and materials. Problem was we didn't have any idea what kids of supplies to get. So one person could go off and get durasteel for the hull, another alusteel ect ect. Then end up using durlanium for the hull instead. Small things like getting the credits with contracts to fund the ship being built is useful but if we're getting credits to fund the ship being built but it turned out to be someones personal ship instead.

Material gathering I like, especially with the Stygium needed.

 

[Elaine Thul]

We have a flag ship, my main helped build it.

[member="Elaine Thul"]

What is it?

 

[Ellie Mors]

We have a flag ship, my main helped build it.

We do not have a flagship, no flagship has ever been submitted to the factory.

 

[Balaya Praelior Zambrano]

we might have a large ship but [member="Elaine Thul"] we do not have a flagship.

So [member="Darth Ferus"] since you've answered me just tell me when and where I am needed.

 

[Darth Ferus]

[member="Darth Praelior"]

What do you think you'd be most needed for?

 

[Balaya Praelior Zambrano]

[member="Darth Ferus"] well me and Camellia have been working on something in our threads that if we get it approved may be useful. Plus I am here to help.

We could always split said ship into a coumple of sections. Have the overall "objectives" of the thread be the various sections that need to be built.

For example objective A may be the construction of the Bridge of the ship. Vengeance shows up grabs a torch or some other tool and with the help of an NPC engineer get's to work weilding sections of whatever metal together.


Something like that.

our flagship it is smallest possible, only 2000 meters. It does have 400 post behind it which some of are mine. This does conform to rules of a flag ship, if you want to build another please do, but we do have one.

That is not a flagship. Yes, it is the minimum size for one, but it was not submitted as one.

A flagship must be submitted as a unique ship, which this is not.

7. Each Flagship must be labeled Unique.

Production: Limited

 

[Ellie Mors]

As I stated before, there has not been any flagships submitted or approved in the factory since the flagship rules have been made. The Immortals was meant to originally be a superweapon but was changed into a large ship because the submitter was told he was unable to submit a superweapon to the factory.

There are other classifications of ships over 2000 m which are not flagships, flagships are generally considered those that are 3000 m or larger (as that is the absolute maximum size any ship may be submitted without such a development thread).

your right

Though that being said, there is only really one way you can do this and make it work.
First find all companies you deal with that can mine, or build star ships
two find what they make or mine
three using that design the ship
four put contracts to them as suppliers, to do so many posts.
five if you have not got enough, put some out to tender to other companies or factions
six have fun, and let people try and sabotage the ship building, as that adds to post count.
