actual space battles probably one of the hardest type of sci-fi fights to do unless you have a very active GM posting nearly every other post for various reasons, and/or having very good posts from the other rpers involved into it. either way the roleplay would be fairly open no matter which way you do it sense that's normally how sci-fi rps are unless your doing a Very strict story one.

For some people here I would suggest (for those wanting to do missions and crazy battles of various kinds) where they are part of/joining a Merc group that is stationed at the Space station that everyone is living at, this merc group probably has some sway on the higher ups of the station allowing them to get nearly anything they wish into the station. of course various players can create their own missions, Come up with their own factions and such (I would say in reason on the factions, trust me I've both seen and made insane groups before especially on the races). Everyone of course is at the station for their own reasons, some want to make a name for themselves in this merc group, some just want to live a peaceful life on the station, etc.... so the Center point for everyone is the same but what they do is up to them.

For GM I would give it to @ladyanglaise sense they was the first person to take charge in actual working on an idea. If not then I can set up the forum, and general starting information for everyone.

One main thing is the GM would have to create a list of planets, space stations, Races, and factions. both some before the roleplay starts and as the roleplay grows and progresses. We could always have random 'Story Arcs' about some kind of faction is trying to take over or destroy everything and our merc group goes against them for money, glory, and other rewards.

I don't know if I'd be a great GM, since I've never GM'd a game before and I'm not too experienced with sci-fi RPs; but thank you! (^//u//^) If you have experience with it, maybe you should be GM.

I wasn't thinking in terms of large-scale space battles, necessarily, but I think that would be really interesting. What I had in mind was more of a sandbox-styled RP that in which we created and explored different alien cultures and the interactions that took place when worlds collide on this space station (I'm a sucker for slice-of-life, you may have noticed), while there was a larger over-arcing plot going on, maybe a war between two planets that slowly becomes the main focus of the RP.
That all said, I'm truly open to whatever you guys want to do, and I definitely want a part in the world-building aspect of the RP.

@ladyanglaise
lol, well considering you technically can have everything, sense it's going to be open pretty much, just there may end being multiple types of story plots happening at once sense everyone is doing, basically made to satisfy each person. Live life on the station with strange stuff happening every now and again or getting forced involved into something big, or join the mercs and fight various people and races for various reasons and money, or maybe your just some solo bounty hunter who has started to use our space station as a pit stop lol. Various things can be done, when it comes to Gming there is only 1 thing I'm bad at far as I know and that's playing two sides of a conflict intensively.

So far there isn't an actual main story so everyone would be free to rp as they wish, if you believe i should GM then I will, I'll set up you and @Wkjones as Co-GM's to help out some sense a sci-fi rp needs a lot of creativity, though it was also marked fantasy so it makes bit more open minded stuff being possible.

I'll have the OOC up here in a little bit or tomorrow most likely with as much details as I can.

mean while Everyone can send me PM's with possible Race and Faction ideas that could be in this universe. do know I will be reading over them carefully so they wont be over powered, at lest for the Start of the roleplay. I mean I have like 3 races of my own (one technically a disease) and 2 of them are pretty crazy in concept though are somewhat manageable.

[ladyanglaise]

Sounds good to me! :D

roleplayerguild.com/topics/126871-life.. the OOC is up and going everyone, all those who are still interested come and join us, if you have any ideas to expand on the roleplay please share.

@olcharlieboi just to let you know, I've been trying to PM you for twenty minutes and the site is just not having it. Not sure what's going on. I'll keep working on planets and races I sent you and I'll send them over when I can.

@ladyanglaise
I've had the site error up when I send things before, hitting back and resending or just refreshing the page usually fixes it.

[ladyanglaise]

@olcharlieboi I've tried that, it's not working on my end. I'll just wait it out and work on writing in the meantime. nbd :D
