I will direct you back to the OP, and ask you to read it very thoroughly. And then decide whether this is actually the RP you are looking for and whether this is the nation to play in it with. It has been created with certain parameters in mind, and if you don't like them, move along. I would expect that when somebody signs up it's because they like what they see, not because they want to hijack it and hammer it to their idea of how it should be.

I am [b]not[/b] going to change something as fundamental as the single system rule, not when others are already working on nation sheets with that restriction in mind. It wouldn't even fit the lore with every space worthy race being wiped out some time ago, and I sure as hell am not rewriting the story because of just one person.

We might be misunderstanding one another on the alien contact matter:

[quote=Interest check]And yes, that is a problem unless those species are within the same star system. I want everyone to start off on relatively equal footing, realism has to make way for gameplay in that regard. You could go that way, or have two sapient species evolve on one planet to fight like the Centauri from B5.[/quote]

The Luxans would fall into the first part, wouldn't they? I have no problem with there being two or more races in your system, whether one wiped the other out or if they formed one nation. If they are still separate, hell, make two nation sheets, although since they would be that divided, their total would [i]still[/i] have to be relatively equal to any of the other nations.

The space pirates, I say nay. I don't want NPC factions, at least not yet.

Regarding gravity control: Where do you grow from there? I can't recall too many bases for technology with more potential than that that aren't completely magitech, and I've seen my share of science fiction. I promised everyone to start on equal footing, and being able to influence gravity at long ranges is not OP, that's OP as hell. I makes nukes a pea shooter.

The initial setting of this RP is closer to beefed up Battlestar Galactica, not nerfed star trek. As I said before, if you want to dominate technologically, you're gonna have to work for it IC. I consider this point closed.
