I concur. This is the Co-GMs role. Nanofreak's actions are respectful to the GM's vision.

This may sound rather self serving but one thing I've discovered while timing my own games inline is that splitting the action is often a good thing. That way something is always going on and even if your own arc is stalled you can read someone else's and be comforted in knowing things are still moving and that the GMs haven't abandoned things.

All right. On a different tangent, to keep the OOC alive, I actually liked Solo. It want what I would have done but it was still a decent space Western and that's what start wars is, a western.

[Multiverse Spaceship RP] Stargate: Paradigm

Yeah but that's why you get Daniel Jackson!

Personally, as much as I like that, I don't think Ozzle would do that. Maybe if he had family and suspected they might be on Hoth? Otherwise, his position as Admiral of thImperial Fleet would be far more valuable than just one rebel cell, even one so large as Hoth.

I'm really looking forward to the crew of my ship to interest with Samantha Carter. That's going to be a lot of fun.

I just didn't want to be faced with real life issues. I go to Stay Wars to escape reality. I don't need social commentary on the 1%, animal cruelty, women empowerment or how common people can sieze their destiny.

I understand Rian Johnson wants to change the world with his writing, what writer doesn't! However... Stay away from my Star Wars!

[Multiverse Spaceship RP] Stargate: Paradigm

As I was saying, the arrival on Hoth demonstrates the idea of a Jack of hyperspace sensors perfectly with Vader, Ozzle and Piett.

Ozzle came out of Hyperspace too early, putting them across the solar system. Vader had assumed Ozzle would have emerged in high orbit to take the rebels by surprise. In response Vader executed Ozzle and promotes Piett.

As for the Last Jedi. The hyperspace tracker was a horrible idea! Any decent writer could have told Rian Johnson that. What he should have done was have a spy on the rebel ship with a hyperspace beacon. Leia, Poe and Holdo could have arguments about how to find the spy while Rose and Finn yelled to board the Imperial Dreadnaught to take down their transmitter array... Or heck, maybe they had a contact somewhere that could identify the traitor.

So many options but instead he bent the universe to fit his story

The Raiders of Norn

"I got no reason to keep you alive."

Varrock's words echoed inside her head. Based on his words and attitude it seemed like he was going to kill her regardless of what she offered him.

Assallya sighed. This ruffian was truly bereft of foresight. She pirouetted, continuing her dance as she studied the back and side of his happy-faced helmet. She had to lest the ogre sized goblin escape her spell's effect. For a moment she considered stopping, rendering herself invisible and thus let the bastard extorting her deal with the creature alone. The only problem with that is that the rock could be tossed at her as easily as the monster.

"Fine," she stated with some resignation, "I assure you. I have no interest in wasting magic on someone I could more readily buy. Enchantments, geases, wear off and when they do all become enemies. It is coin that buys loyalty, not magic. I have two trade bars of gold hidden inside the wagon. Money doesn't interest me -only power. You may have one now and one additional if you accompany me through these ruins."

Graven Peril

Home Universe/Name of Franchise: Dungeons and Dragons, Spelljammer (Modified to be cooler)
Role: Brigantine/Frigate
Physical Description/Image: A stout wooden vessel with sails- in space! It has a bridge, the "Castle" that is all enchanted glass on a platform that overlooks the main deck.
Physical Size (roughly): 100 meters long
Armament/Complement (roughly): 20 Magic Brands per broadside, 4 Brands on the bow, Four Catapults, Six Ballista.

History of the Ship: The Graven Peril is a re-purposed Elven Brigantine, stolen from the Elven empire of Arcadium. The Arcadian Empire, composed of Elves, was the first race to ascend into the Empyrean and they cemented their place as rulers over the cosmos.

The crew of the Graven Peril is a rag-tag collection of races seeking to thwart the Elven rule. Some of them are even elves.

Crew Size: 100
Class: Brigantine/Frigate
Faction/Operator/Owner: Rebel Alliance

"-- Unique Technology --"

There is nothing about the Graven Peril that is not unique. The Graven Peril uses magic for propulsion, combat, and defense. It is a wooden vessel and thus is likely to be overlooked by advanced technological sensors. Simply put, their advanced sensor waves simply pass through the wood without bouncing back.

The Graven Peril uses a summoned elemental being, held within the Ward Room, to skate the edges of multiple dimensions allowing it to move close to the speed of light without incurring time/space warping due to relativistic effects. As a result it can cross the Solar System in about five hours. At the edge of the solar system are "gates", areas where the energy travels between solar systems. The sails can unfurl fully there, capturing the untapped primal energy that created the universe and still flows between solar systems. These "Transfer" points are often monitored and can be blockaded should the need arise.

There are several ways around such a blockade. One, is to use a cloaking device if it has one which literally turns the ship invisible (but it cannot attack without giving up invisibility). Another is "Hell-scraping" where the ship carrying a demon for a power source takes the entire vessel into hell itself.

The Graven Peril is possessed of shields that protect it from energy based attacks but these shields don't stop physical attacks like bullets, arrows, catapult stuns or, heaven forbid, a matter accelerator round.

Are superluminal sensors dumb or would it be dumb if they didn't exist? I'd say it depends on your in-franchise physics. If ships in the franchise use hyperspace, slip space, or some other equivalent then maybe it makes sense not to have it. Very few franchises actually have superluminal sensors. Stargate doesn't. Babylon 5 doesn't. Battlestar Galactica doesn't. Andromeda doesn't. In most of these cases, they don't even have the ability to communicate long distances except by courier. (Star Wars has the holonet which works through the hyperspace beacon network. While B5 uses the Jump Gate network for the same effect.)

Star Trek has superluminal sensors but then, they don't use hyperspace. They fly in real space by bending space in front of them, thus shortening the distance between two points. Having such sensors makes more sense for them. They're also one of the few franchises that can have battles while moving faster than light.

@Sophrus
Superluminal sensors *could* work if there were some sort of particle that moved faster than the speed of light like the mythical Tachyon but yes, you're right, with today's physics it makes no sense. Maybe if someone could bend space... but then, if you could do that you wouldn't need to direct your sensors there, you could just be there and use your own eyes!

On another note, is it too late to submit my Gallifreyan? *Lol* I really want to shoot someone with my paradox gun which kills you five minutes before I got around to shooting you!
