This may be a bit of powerplaying, but is it okay if I managed to find the blueprints for this:

It is the Malevolence. Sorry for the horrible pic, I couldn't get a good one. Is it okay, or do we have to wait until we have Fondor back?

I know what it is, but why would you find it?
Why would we build it?

I am a collector. I collect things. Blueprints are my favourite.
Ion cannons (the large wheel-things on the side) are nasty against droids.

Given how terribly convenient it would be, it's power, the fact that it was a singular military ship designed centuries back, yes I would say that would be pretty hard power gaming.

Okay, then we can develop it for ourselves after Clockwork, right?

I would again ask why, and take it a step further with how.

With our Fondor facilities now devoid of Clockwork, we can secretly build a fleet of these (probably over several real-time months), and use them only when necessary to expand the influence of the Protectorate.

We have the Starfall and Invicta already to roll in that capacity. Not to mention that still doesn't answer how we would manage to build the ship. We have the capacity maybe, but not the plans.
Jak Sandrow
"Nobody cares for the woods anymore."
I have the plans!

And how did you get them? Just being a weapon's collector doesn't mean you can reach into the past and pull out whatever ship or weapon design that suits your fancy. Plans like these are stored deep on worlds with fantastic defenses and guarded jealously. If it were that easy to get the plans and make the ship, why didn't other groups make the ship in the future?

I WANT TO DO SOMETHING WORTHY OF ATTENTION!!! NO ONE APPRECIATES WHAT I DO AT ALL!! WHY CAN'T I EVEN HAVE 1 MOMENT OF GLORY??????????????

Jak, I understand your eagerness to want to do something great. But the thing is, these things can't be forced. Some of the greatest things that I've done, and seen done, happened in threads where there was no planning. No one set out to do something great. These moments simply happen. And they happen when we try to tell a story.
A New Hope wouldn't have been nearly as interesting if Luke started off the way he ended up in Episode VI. If the hero is already the greatest around, and can do whatever he wants or get whatever he wants, what's the point of caring? The greatest moments that come for us as writers and roleplayers come from those moments that fit like in the movies or from great books.
Right now, I don't know anything about Jak. All I know is what I can read in his bio. I know he collects weapons, and that his father was killed when he was younger. But I want more than that. I want to see who Jak is when no one's looking. I want to see why he collects weapons and old technology. Why does he do the things that he does? It's when you stop trying to force greatness that greatness comes to you.
Start by telling a simple story. Just a boy with no idea of where to go or what to do, with only a dream and a desire to change the galaxy. Show his struggles. Show him stumble. Show him fail. When you do those things, when you build your character up to be more than just a face and power, that's when you'll find that there are things that Jak can do that even you didn't know he could.

Okay.
I still want to make it, though.

Then make it a story. Show Jak going after the plans, rather than just saying he has them. Put him at risk, make mistakes. Many Bothans died to ensure the Death Star plans got to the Rebellion. Show us that risk. Show us that Jak can do it. It's far more interesting to see a character try hard and fail at something than it is to just watch a character win time and time again.

"Nobody cares for the woods anymore."
Okay.
Can you find some people to do the story with?

Make the story. Make it interesting and alluring. Give people a reason for their character to show up and they will.

Okay. Thanks!

Sorry I haven't been around here, still trying to catch up after last week's rough work schedule.
