[@Lmpkio] I had no idea that God of War was so damn well-acted! 

1) I've claimed Emperor Palpatine. An Emperor Palpatine? Whichever. Please don't use Palpatine. Beyond him, I'd rather players weren't in league with the enemy, at least not yet. It's open world, but games like this tend to fall apart a bit when you split the party.

2) OC's are absolutely welcome!

3) Don't break the game, and try not to make other players redundant. I put some general guidelines in "How to Apply: 0. A note on power balance"; best practice: if you feel like something might be overpowered, balance it out with a disadvantage. 

In a past life, I participated in a similar RP that died because someone started arguing vehemently against the feasibility of transforming mechs vs role-specialized fighters. It's not a winnable argument from either position. Anyway, to avoid a repeat of that debacle, I'm going to say, ahead of time, mechs are jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none. Can a mech mount missiles and also attach itself to something to use a giant sword? Yes. Will the mech carry as many missiles of the same caliber when compared to a dedicated missile fighter? No.

TL;DR: sure, mechs can be a thing, but they won't be as good at any individual task as a dedicated fighter

Indeed!

1). Fair enough. I had no plans to use Palpatine, for I figured you had complete control of him. I played around with the idea of Vader or other generals/admirals, but again I would be stretching things too far. Really I was looking in the direction of a small Star Destroyer (Victory Class maybe) or even something smaller like an Immobilizer Interdictor-Class SD or something of that caliber. But I can wait until there are openings.

2). Cool! While not 100% that I'll use an OC design, it's a possiblity.

3). Yeah I saw the Strengths and weaknesses part, I'll be sure to keep it in mind.

Also fair regarding the mechs. 

But overall, I'm eying a Star Wars Faction that's not the Galactic Empire, but at the same time eying something more original and/or part of a new series. I'll wait a bit before I post something, just to see the ideas being thrown around. Then I can go from there.

One of the things Im thinking on doing revolves around my profile picture. Won't say much, it's in a sci-fi genre, and while the tech can definitely agree to this environment, at the same time the series is so new that I may either have to slightly retcon things that weren't present in the actual movie series or what not. Again, we shall see what comes up and then I can make up that decision.
