Ace Combat: The Global War

Yeah, I had a look at a couple of other places, but nowhere matched the activity for here. Or the writing quality either - the system of organizing and grading the RP's works out so well.

Hopefully I can be a merc :3

From what I got out of this, we're all on the same team.

You can be a merc, but you'll be working on the same team as everyone else. It'll all be explained in the OOC. Actually, a merc would work well as someone who's been working with the organization that'll be providing the aircraft and carrier for the squadron everyone will be in. Your character could have been contracted as a test pilot or providing security for their operations.

Still plenty of room though! Especially for old friends :)

Flying? Blazing action? Hi-tech stuff?COUNT ME IN!On a sidenote, I haven't played nor have any knowledge about Ace Combat. I can surely look up the basics, but I wouldn't mind some explanation every now and then from someone who actually played it. ^^

Oh wow, another person! Woo!

Don't worry too much about the Ace Combat stuff - I only used it as a starting point, as it's very much the 'feel' that I'm going for, rather than any of the continuity. What that means for the RP is that it's going to be relatively realistic (i.e, realistic mission objectives and goals, realistic weapons and real-world aircraft), but with some 'sci-fi' inspired elements, and something of an anime-esque feel as well (such as large aerial 'fortresses', and other enemy 'superweapons' such as satellite cannons, lasers, etc. and larger-than-life characters with a somewhat 'relaxed' take on the military life). Also, some of that helps keep it a bit more fun and less 'cold' than it might otherwise be.

TBH, if you've ever read any military fiction, or watched any similar movies or TV shows, you'll probably find yourself pretty much at home, and anything else can be found on the Ace Combat wiki :)

Well, at the moment it shouldn't be a problem, and even if we do get a few more peeps, then I'm sure it'll be all right.

As it is, enough people have shown interest that I'm confident with starting work on the OOC thread, so I'll aim to get it up within the next couple of hours.

Is the aircraft carrier part of a battlegroup? If so, would it be possible or viable to roleplay as something like the captain of an escort destroyer?

Yeah, as Sauron says, I'll be focusing on fighter pilots only, I'm afraid.

I'm On. as long as we don't get too many RPers I'm fine

Like I said in the Int Check, I'm looking for a minimum of 4, but a maximum of about ten, with the aim of ending up with at least a core group of regular and reliable posters so it just doesn't grind to a halt.

Awesome bro one last question though. can i have two characters? I use two guys when i do aircraft style rps.

Yeah, you can have a pilot/GIB team

(GIB = Guy (or gal) in back)

You got me hooked at ace combat brother (major ace combat fan here). what kinda planes we looking at here? Fictional aircraft or more modernish aircraft?

Glad to see another AC fan around the board, and glad you're interested too!
To give you an answer, the plane will be primarily real-world ones, but the ones available initially for the players will have received modifications to keep them 'up to date' and competitive with modern aircraft, as used by the enemy.
There will also be some of the fictional planes from Ace Combat and elsewhere making an appearance, though when and where will be something I'd like to keep secret, so it's a surprise when it happens. Especially since not all of them will be from AC.

Good question - The 'high tech' is in part what you'd expect from Ace Combat - things like some energy weapons, though albeit large and somewhat cumbersome ones, but still devastating, space-based kinetic weaponry ('rods from god'), large fixed railguns and the like, airborne 'fortresses', and other similar 'super-weapon' type tech, as well as some mention of things like genetic 'tweaking' and minor cybernetics being possible, as well as things like wider spread and acceptance of things like Supercavitation propulsion for naval vessels and submarines, thrust vectored engines, helmet-mounted displays, etc.

Not all of this (in fact, very little of it) will be initially available to the players, but you'll have your own list of enhancements and mods for your aircraft to bring them 'up to scratch', rather than being obsolete. The main point is to make it a challenge, and overcome what the opposition has stacked against you. And so there's something to work toward, of course - starting off with all the best stuff wouldn't really make for a very long game.

Woo, glad you're interested - I was going to message you on FB if you hadn't come onto the thread first!
Like your new username, too.
