“Ah, hell...” muttered Dale as he looked over the incoming documents that the ship possessed.

All he could really do is suck his teeth as the information ebbed over the high-grain static of sub-par lunar assets. Nuclear core, Low visibilty on the work deck, dividends of the corporate nature. Yup, it was gonna be one of those days. Being a moon buzzard wasn't all it was cracked up to be Dale thought. He whisked away those demons as the derelict approached radar range.

Look who just rolled in!

Welcome to Huntsville's Rocketry Alternative, Big Throw! As you might imagine, centrifugal technology has progressed into a lucrative and booming substitute for the red tape that is rockets. In this universe it's a cheaper more corporate solution to logistical concerns. Basically, come up with your own space cowboy to get yeeted to the moon! Let's break some ships! (methods and such are varied). I'm thinking the year is 2180, that gets us far enough ahead tech wise I believe. Wars, global warming, resource droughts, feel free to explore near-future vibes. The micro climate is of a fledgling moon city, with the required logistical concerns and laborpool to entice such growth. Scarping ships and siphoning natural resources are the big hitters, but it is a city o feel free to fluff it up. Earth is still around, in co-dependent scenario.

Bumping bump, writing up some pre-lore and the first derelict the crew will be scrapping. 🤠

Moonshot Madness! (INTCHK)

I like these. I'm particularly fond of shipbreaker inc, but I like them all :D

@PURRfect93

It's probably the most established idea I have, having done construction myself lol and played the game. It'd be a joy to play out the toils of a spacecowboy 🤠 Foreman, greenhorns, apprentices, daytrippers, safety guy, so many roles.

Could be a intreting universe :)

@PrinceAlexus

I'll most likely have these three ideas coincide so stay tuned!

Moonshot Madness! (INTCHK)

Moonshot Madness!

I've been on a lunar sci-fi kick lately with Mickey 16 out, so here is a few ideas for a slice of life small group casual experience!

---

• Mungolf: Low-grav golf has become insanely popular in 2120, the setting would be a prestigious Mungolf tourney that could be full of intrigue and glory.
• Lunar School of Corrections: Send them away to the frickin moon! Dr.Evil aside, let's see this Ender's game play out.
• Shipbreaker Inc.: What do you call zero gravity blue collar crews? Probably space cowboys. Time to clock in! If you'd played Hardbreaker it's basically that.

---

Anyway that's my three ideas so far; sharing the moon in the near future as it's setting.
CS and lore to be added and expanded if there is interest. Heck we could mold all three into an universe!

Formula: Anti-Gravity (An F1 Drive to Survive inspired, Slice of Life, Cyberpunkish/Solarpunkish RP)

This strikes my fancy something fierce. Fitzroy's plucky playboy vibe has me interested. Would I be able to play as Orbital's crew chief?

My Personal Alien

I had created Neanderthal like hexped giant cave ferrets once that slithers and bouldered their Hoth world in tunnels under the snow, perhaps a morph of them lol. I suppose as a small population base the aliens would be emissaries paired with the humans of thoer choice that chose to venture to the moon crash site or relocate the aliens to their abode.

My Personal Alien

Alright, very well fleshed out so props to them 👏 Considering I have a few vague species thought out, perhaps a traveling barge of refugees that got stuck in our desparingly bare bubble. Morphy noodles would be neat. Perhaps a lot of 200+ aliens of various species and misfortunes that sent them on the liferaft.

My Personal Alien

@Atlas Shark Oh that's pretty neat, are you the creator?

My Personal Alien

I've been playing a lot of KSP and watching too much Disctrict 9, but also want something light-hearted lately so I had a conversation with a buddy. My Personal Alien/agent/omnipotent being. Like a foster care for aliens wanting to integrate I to human society. Perhaps a singular race like District9, or a society like Halo's. Near future, benevolent, they live on the otherside of the moon as their base as refugees or sight seer's. If it's advanced interested, I love speculative biology. But mostly I'd like to see it bloom into a serial drama of ups n downs. Who'd be down?

Interest Check: Phantasm

What if you could dream walk? Well yes you can, lucidly, but what if the borders were opened? Welcome to the Phantasm Project. Using your genetic profile you may find yourself delving into the dreams and forethought of your ancestors. Monkeybone meets Assassins Creed? Any takers? I figure it to be a near fututure sleep studdy gone right but im open to suggestions to make a good rp.
