[OOC] Star Wars - Invasion [multiverse spaceship RP]

[Dead Cruiser]

@Zyx What cursory research I've done on the Replicators so far makes me believe we'll have to avoid any kind of technology that totally outclasses them, to avoid trivializing the threat.

>True, which is another reason why I'm sticking to the Bowship. Sure stasers can be calibrated to do extreme damage, but the Endeavor's crew isn't likely to go that far, assuming their ship has that capability. They'll probably be more interested in taking a break from the literal hell they just left, and maybe scouting out the Star Wars universe as a potential place for Gallifrey to escape to. But that would be an ulterior motive at best and one that might just not be possible to accomplish considering the planet is about to be erased by the Doctor soon.

>As for other ships, it's hard to stay in that sweet spot where it's not a curbstomp on either side, as a lot of the sci-fi universes I know about are incredibly broken. Even the one's that stray more to the hard and possible side of hypothetical technology. Actually it seems that the harder the science, the more devastating the warfare. Well, unless you go into the pure insanity of soft sci-fi settings.

@Zyx Lol well speaking as someone that's already trodden the line straight over into Science-Fantasy, I figure their limitations are more set by the plot and the tone and momentum of the story than anything else, so we'll see how the opening plays out. Warhammer is a very pulpy setting and I think would jive more or less tonally compared to the TV drama of Stargate for instance. So Doctor Who is probably a good fit here as well.

>True.

>This does make me wonder how Psykers would react to the Time Lords given their psychic abilities that aren't reliant on the Warp. Then again I also wonder how they'd react to the Force... I know that the Endeavor's crew would probably see it as just some quaint background energy, but it is the closest thing to Warp magic the setting has so it'd be interesting to see how the crew of Horus' ship reacts.

>I also wonder if the Time Lords wouldn't act like very low-level Blanks in regards to both groups since their very presence makes reality more stable and less irrational.

The one request I have with second ships is that if you have a first ship that's super powerful, you're second ship kinda balances it out a little. In terms of @Dead Cruiser a Star Trek vessel would be a good counter-balance because W40K isn't so much ridiculously overpowered... it's just massive.

Obviously you should be the Cerritos though... kidding.

I'm probably going to swing something in from Halo in terms of Humans. I'm probably still on the lower end of the technological scale but hey.

Just remember, the more technologically superior you are as well, the greater a target you are.

>Exactly why I avoided picking so much as an old Type 40 TARDIS. Then again, can Replicators even eat sentient universes/11th dimensional entities?

@Zyx

I guess we'll never know.

[Martian]

If we are allowed a second ship, I would like to do the Starjammer from Marvel Comics. Plus if we do have the Enterprise-D in this RP we could have Marvel characters mixing up Captain Picard with Professor X.

[Dead Cruiser]

This is probably a stupid idea but I'll throw it out there anyway: assuming I put up the Enterprise, what if they had a stowaway? That is, the entity known as Q having hitched a ride to this universe, and planning to screw with the others for his own amusement.

@Dead Cruiser

I'm going to say no to Q cause there's enough going on already. I'd also argue an entity such as Q wouldn't have to stowaway if he really wanted to crossover. From what I know he's basically an ascended being.

[Dead Cruiser]

@Sep I was thinking it would have been a matter of interest more than anything else; another ascended being crosses into his universe and abducts his favorite captain. But if it's too much then so be it.

@Dead Cruiser

I'll keep this in mind for future but for now we got enough to deal with.

>As fun as having another ascended being would be, I have to agree with Sep. We've already got the changed Clone Wars timeline, plus all of our people who could probably roll over the native setting by themselves if they really wanted to.

>Like Transformers can scan and take the form of vehicles if I recall the cartoons and movies correctly, so imagine one scans a Republic or even Replicator ship. Then there's a whole ship designed specifically for the Imperium's manifest destiny period, not its major decline post-heresy, filled with supersoldiers that make pretty much all SW ground forces look like a joke in comparison, to say nothing of psykers and the guardsmen on-board.

>There's also the SG crew, and lastly the Time Lords, who are their own brand of absurd fuckery. Especially since these versions aren't the whole "sit back and do nothing for 10 million years," type that the Doctor's people used to be. And have we forgotten Palpatine? I doubt he'll be content to just sit idly either.

>There's enough moving parts as it is I think. Q would only further complicate things.

[Dead Cruiser]

@Zyx Q complicating things was basically my point, I was going to have him try to play kingmaker with the ship captains, and cause other sorts of mischief.

[Sep]

I had to stop with the opening post because I was honestly just wanting to keep going and going and going with what Sixth and the Replicators have been upto.

Basically when we drop in (we obviously know whats going on, we don't necessarily know what other ships there'll be but we know the score) Coruscant is under quarantine, Palpatine is of planet and the Replicators are sweeping their way across Coruscant basing themselves at the Jedi temple. If you have any questions throw them here, feel free to drop in. You do not necessarily need to arrive at Coruscant.

[Dead Cruiser]

What kind of intel are we hooked up with initially? Are we in communication already? If Horus wanted to ring up Palpatine, could he get him on speed dial like "Yo, Sheevy, baby?"

Also I guess I will indeed now get around to ginning up the Enterprise.

@Dead Cruiser

We knew where we were going but they didn't know we were coming

>Well I'm finally awake and free from dreamland. If there's no issues with my ship I'll go ahead and move it over.

[Sep]

Go for it

>@Sep I haven't mentioned anything with Daniel or Q yet as I wasn't sure if you had something more planned before each of our ships gets yoinked. I'll edit my post if need be, however.
