While I'm not fond of the solo character aspect either (what if we have a ground forces storyline for a few weeks or send in ambassadors? It sidelines the character) do you really want to play a cowardly deserter? Totally cool if your are because that takes courage but most people would feel uncomfortable doing so.

Alternatively he could have had his crew evacuate while performing a selfless, near suicidal act but survived anyways. Perhaps he was trapped in the event horizon of a black hole, experiencing time dilation for ten thousand years! Maybe it was a surprise attack by the wraith with his entire crew on shore leave being destroyed before his very eyes.


If he's sidelined then he's sidelined. I have more than ten characters whose arcs and developments I'm currently keeping track of, as well as the overall plot of a roleplay I'm running, so I don't mind having nothing to do for long stretches of time. As a matter of fact, I prefer it as it allows me to more easily get out posts.

As for the deserter part, while seen as cowardly in that draft, which I'm changing because it's really only feasible due to the plot saying so, in this newer one, when I'm finished with it, will have him be more logical than cowardly in his motivation for leaving the war despite what others may see him as. But if that fails, I will look for a way to integrate your black hole idea into the overall CS and ship history.

@ZAVAZggg did the outpost in question not have shields? I can honestly see him managing to empty the ship but to go from deserter>traitor... I mean if you're fine with that then it gives you a whole redemption arc to work through.

I'm still at the maybe line. It would be the first group game in a long time and I'm not sure my place is in this one.

It's alright, really it's a case of you'd pick a ship you'd like and no doubt it'd fit into this kind of 'fleet' that'll no doubt form in the roleplay. The benefit of most SCI-Fi universes is a lot of the popular ships fill roles that the favourite ships of another franchise don't necessarily fill.

I'm fine with the traitor/deserter aspect. As for the outpost, assume it had shields, but not ones strong enough to withstand a barrage of turret fire from and Aurora class battleship as, while they are extremely powerful, the shields found on Ancient Outposts burn a ton of energy since they were not made for lengthy periods of use. I'd say a couple hours of constant bombardment would be all it takes to drain the power sources for the shields in question.

and if you're doing a couple of hours bombardment... why not call for backup?/counter attack. Honestly I feel like it may be better if you had him simply flee. It raises more questions having him turn traitor.

Certainly unique. Sure to give my crew a "what the actual $#&@" moment!

I think Valtrix would just sit there for a long while and stare at it, internally questioning the sanity of the person that built it. The ship is definitely not something you'd expect though which might give it an edge in combat. Looks odd, might not be considered much of a threat because of that...
