Poll: Should We Build A Superweapon?

[Ashin Varanin]

Poll to follow. Since most people have been clear with their opinions, I'll leave this poll public.

 

[Ashin Varanin]

There are many strong opinions on this, with valid reasoning. Personally, I favor spending our resources to improve our fleet. Instead of building a Death Star, we could build, say, a handful of Super Star Destroyers or comparable vessels.

I'd also like to make it really clear to everyone that this isn't first-past-the-post. Respect will be given to all votes, and we'll see what we can do.

Tempted to offer to RP the R&D of a superweapon, but I'm not sure if that would be wise. *innocent smile*

 

[Allyson Locke]

I agree with the ship enforcement. The super weapon in my opinion would draw too much attention and cause too much OOC issues.

 

[Darren Onyx]

Well I am for it, considering I've wanted to do this for several months. Valik and I are prepared to take lead of the project if it is voted in our favor. Of course that is also with your permission @[member="Ashin Varanin"]

Alright, yes, the most "logical" idea is fleet reinforcement. However! Is that the best RP option? I say no. Super weapon all the way. Super Weapons are certainly a centerpiece of the action in SW. Death Stars, Sun Crushers, Galaxy Gun, World Devestators, weird Vong garbage, and all sorts of stuff. Super weapons up the tension and make things interesting.

As long as we aren't obnoxious about getting it destroyed. As in being pain in the butts about letting it be destroyed. Then it will be nothing but grand RP. And not all super weapons have to be planet destroyers. The Emperor's... Fist was it? Was nothing but a huge asteroid filled with soldiers and whatnot. The Malevolence could knock out huge chunks of fleets. Others just destroyed individual ships in large explosions.

Could also go NJO route, which had a duology centered around making a fake super weapon to draw attention. This is a bit trickier to RP because dishonest narratives are basically powergaming and no on likes that. So it is toting that balancing of deception without lying about it. So not easy to RP, but definitely interesting.

I voted no. A superweapon will cause a massive headache on an OOC level, and personally I just don't want to see something of that nature on the boards. Invites too much trouble to come along with it.

 

[Ashin Varanin]

As I said, this is not first-past-the-post. All valid votes will be respected. Stay tuned for an announcement.

If we are should be something other than a Death Star Variant- we could actually OC it. It would be a fun exercise.

I always thought of a floating factory or special weapon platform would be cool.
