[quote=@Letter Bee] I see. Hmm... Are Anime Faceclaims permitted? I'm someone who finds RPs that demand realistic face claims a bit stuffy, if you don't mind me saying. Do lasers exist? What is there to do besides dogfighting and fighter-bombing? I am not good at aerial tactics either IRL or in videogames. Can I be a political officer/commissar [i]and[/i] a pilot? Edit: Fair warning, btw, I might still lack the time, due to my own games ramping up. [/quote] Anime faceclaims/art/etc are probably preferred, rather than permitted. I'd certainly intend on using one myself. Laser exist; but they are considered to be exotic technology and not widespread as of yet. They can be taken as pod-mounted systems for your aircraft, in the same way that missiles, etc. would be. Other than combat missions of various types, there's also going to be in-character interaction, drama, unravelling the mysteries of what's going on, who's behind things, and the like. They may be the occasional foray into gunfights on foot, but obviously; the main goal is to keep things oriented around your characters being pilots. As far as 'aerial tactics' go, I'm not imagining everyone or even anyone naming every move or technique, or slavishly adhering to reality, but as long as there's some acknowledgement or knowledge of reality and the laws of physics and planes aren't doing completely unrealistic things, then it's fine. When/if we get to the point of an OOC, I will post a hefty amount of resources and information that should help. I hadn't really considered the idea of a 'political commissar' or something equivalent, featuring in the setting whatsoever, regardless of a dual-role with a pilot. I'm not sure how that would fit into the setting as I currently envision it? Again, when/if there's an OOC (mainly depending on interest) then I'll post more about the world. But really, the idea is your characters are fighter/combat pilots first and foremost If you're too busy then that's fine. Honestly, it seems like you're talking yourself out of it more than anything else, and if you think you're too busy, then that's fine.
