Thinking of starting a new character,and leave Hans on R&R.But,who should this one be affiliated with.Not picking out of the hat again.Any ideas?

ST110 - Well, you need to figure out a way to get Hans retired from action, or whatever

To [GR_Fallen_Angel: Note - a couple of CYOF people are on New London. If you want to have your character interact with ours, let us know.

I really don't think you should abandon Hans. DSQrn and I had the deaths of our chars long planned, but following suit and dumping yours would be...tedious.

Post Sun Jul 17, 2005 6:54 pm

Not dump him,just dont use him for awhile

Post Sun Jul 17, 2005 7:21 pm

Why though? What's the point? What can't Hans do that you want to be able to do? Answer those and you'll know what sort of character to create, should you remain committed to this course of action.

Likewise. I'm sure it'll be great. Have you been in touch with HK?

I also eagerly await a certain someone else's update. *poke* *poke*

Shush, Code. Been watching Cradle of Life for inspiration. I so wish I had Angelina's lips

You know, it's not nice to wind me up like that.

Post Tue Jul 19, 2005 9:10 am

the thing is well, in not usre if i should introduce a very interesting plot twist or not... =P oh and where did all those rescued ships end up?

Post Tue Jul 19, 2005 9:15 am

The Bretonian ones? Probably at Southampton Shipyard for repair and refitting.

As for the plot twist, well, go for it, I guess. If I were you I'd wait to get Gabriel more involved before doing anything too wild and crazy, but that's just me. Like I said, go for it. If it's too over-the-top, we'll let you know. Alternately, run it by Athena first.

ok so it's very dramatic, but having Gab flying around doing missions ect would just get boring. if it is too dramatic (which it could be) I'll change it. I was going to make his flight through the rest of Bretonia longer, but I thought it was long and boring... tell me if you think otherwise

Post Tue Jul 19, 2005 11:24 am

I'm not going to say that it's too dramatic (though I think it's the most dramatic development in the game to date - at least, in terms of the amount of wholesale destruction), but there is a problem. The destruction of Dublin conflicts with the BAF mission involving Nick Warren, DSQ's new character. The trap that his forces were going to spring was meant to catch - if I understand correctly - Mollies pursuing some transports coming from Dublin. If I were you I'd get in touch with DSQ and, at the very least, work out the timeline of events so there's no confusion.

As far as the actual destruction goes, well, I do have some questions. First, who did it? Second, why? Third, how? Fourth, where did they go afterwards (and how)? The characters don't need to know any of this but, for a development of this magnitude, it really would be nice of you if you'd let your fellow authors/players in on your plans for this whole thing.

The biggest concern I have is that if there's a faction able to wield enough destructive force to swiftly and secretly destroy an entire system, then the Sirians are up against a foe they likely cannot defeat. And the game will suck majorly if everyone dies.

Let us know where you plan on taking this and we'll see what everyone has to say.

yeah, ok, firstly i chose this system due to its remoteness and the thin population, it would only take a force of two battleships and their escorts to take that system, of course something larger would be needed to take out the battleship without leaving a trail, perhaps so we dont ruin it for the readers i should do the rest in an email...
