Okay, so here is some revisions.

The team is either locked up, or free.  Those who are locked up are offered freedom in exchange for their services.  Those who are free are offered exorbitant sums of credits.  Otherwise, the Alliance has probably offered you... whatever, that would be up to you.  The point is, there has to be an incentive for you to work for the Alliance.

Your jobs will probably have you traveling to Deadzone - a lawless region of space - and dealing with the crime bosses, slavers, drug runners, smugglers, and merc gangs there.  These guys are assets who will later help out in operations in the Confederacy's territory.  They're not all willing to work together, so your primary concern is doing favors for them and whatnot to make them start working for you.

Every once in a while, you guys will be asked to investigate strange disturbances in the galaxy.  Something is... amiss.. no spoilers, but I'm gonna try to make it dark, mysterious, and whatnot.

And I'm gonna try to have teamwork and tactics involved.  You can't just run and do what [i]you [/i]want to do, some of you might come under fire and you won't be able to act unless an ally covers you and such.  Also, weapons will be classified as BALLISTIC and LASER, and 'slow or fast'.  Similarly, armor will be ARMORED or POWERED.  Ballistic weapons, and high-powered weapons (ones that require longer reloads, like a very powerful sniper rifle) are required to 'chip away' opponents with Armored suits; laser weapons are not going to do much, and automatic weapons are not going to be as useful against armored individuals.  Those with Powered suits are protected by shielding technology, and you need laser weapons that can disrupt the shields, or very fast-firing weapons that can whittle down shields and stop them from regenerating.

There's also force fields, which are used by psionically-powered individuals, but I haven't concentrated to much on the psionics area.  I [i]do [/i]know that psionic individuals will be very powerful in the RP, and are a threat to everyone.

PS:  Ultimately, guys, I started to get really busy lately and I wasn't able to finish up the OOC (but I guess that's good, cause I was able to revise some ideas).  Still busy, and I might need to go to the doctor soon, so I don't know how active I will be right now.  Whatever the case, I'll try to get this RP up and running one day!
