No Escape For Us (PRIVATE RP)

I dun want to say it, but I have to.

I'm probably going to leave this RP. Mainly due to this RP being....how to put it...'dead horse'
We keep using the idea, only to not get very far by the time its slowed down. And this one is no exception. I understand life gets in the way, but we haven't even gotten to the break out yet (partly my fault) All we've had is Sam go berserk, causing the heavily armed guards to come out. Other than that, we've really only taken a tiny step forward.

I also don't want to pester Lyra about how I could go about breaking everyone out. Seeing how she really isn't in the mood for the RPing stuffs.

Plus, I'm only getting a major case of writers block when it comes to this RP. Other RPs I have so many ideas on how to have my characters act, and what they do. Here..I can't even think of what to do with Church anymore. Let alone the office staff of the building that group just walked into.

BLAC

BLAC (Bay, Launch And Recovery)-
-To solve the issue of at-sea recovery of RHIBs via the fantail, the Fortknight solves this issue with a more advanced fantail design. A ramp is lowered below the waterline, which allows for safe recovery of RHIBs , along with a reduced wake due to a triangular-trimaran hull design.
For especially dangerous seas, the aft of the fantail can actually be raised to allow for increased vertical clearance.

Steffanie Mooringstar

|Captain's Name: Steffanie "Black Box" Mooringstar

Personality: Remembers things well, a little too well. She is a very happy, kind, and hyper person, often getting caught up in the moment. Doesn't do well as a drunk, thus only drinks sporadically.
Bio: Steffanie doesn't come from a military family, and her parents tried very hard to convince her to not go into the military. But after being fired from jobs prior to joining the military, she realized that no job would accept her personality into their work place. Mainly due to her hyperness, and she had one last spot to go to before she'd have to force herself to be calm. Something she didn't want to do, she wanted to be herself in the workplace. So she enlisted in the Deutsche Marine (German Navy), hoping to fit a profile. And she did, she fit in the 2. Fregattengeschwader (2nd Frigate Squadron). And she served in that for approximately 2 to 3 years before being assigned as Captain of an experimental cruiser.

But there was a catch, she'd have to transfer over to the US Navy in order to be captain. She was given a week to decide, it only took her one night. Then she was on her way to the Naval Air Station Key West where said cruiser was currently docked. And after 2 months of commanding the ship, her ship was reassigned to the JDF-1

Sorcha MacNamara

|Name: Sorcha "Delphinium" MacNamara
Rank: Commander
Role: XO

Personality: Sorcha is a very bold woman. From the way she dressed to how she got her eye patch, even down to carrying an assault rifle around, and even the cigarettes she smokes while walking around the ship.
Bio: Sorcha comes from an Irish family, this grabbing a thick Irish accent, and pretty much speaking the dialect. While she can speak English, she chooses to speak Irish most of the time, as it is more comfortable for her. Her family was open to what ever path Sorcha went down. She first moved to the US to work as a secretary for a big company, but eventually moved to joining the Navy, and was right away put onto the USS Fenrir, as Steffanie was transferred over as the Captain. At first, Sorcha was hostile towards Steffanie, but grew to respect her, and even enjoying her as Captain.

Cecilia Faust

|Name: Cecilia "Colonel" Faust
Rank: Lieutenant Commander
Role: FT (Fire control Technician)

(Does not wear the armband.)
Personality: Stern, and aggressive to most people. But those who have actually become friends of hers have found that she is a very fun person to be around. Tends to be a systematic person.
Bio: Cecilia comes from a military family, being raised by both a military mom and military dad. She was taught to be stern and obedient. And taught to carry out things with procedures. This carried over into a few of her jobs, then her military career. She met Steffanie in the 2. Fregattengeschwader, and has served with her since. She was transferred with Steffanie to the USS Fenrir in Naval Air Station Key West. These two were the only ones who knew each other prior to being assigned to the USS Fenrir

Rikke Clemente

|Name: Rikke "Mafia" Clemente
Rank: Lieutenant
Role: IT (Information Systems Technician)

Personality: Rikke is the type of gal who can pick up on rumors and gossip quite easily, without much effort needed. But can also pick up on things like speaking outright about someone, thus how she obtained the nickname "Mafia". Because nothing slips by without her knowing.
Bio: Rikke came from a devout Spanish family, anything that was sinful was punished severally. Thus when she got enough money, she left her family. She didn't want to live like that, she could care less if her brothers and sisters wanted that life, she didn't. She went on to live a average life, but realized she needed something more in her life. Something to make her stronger than what her mother had made her. She was first in the Army, but then joined the Navy after 4 years in the Army. Being assigned to the USS Fenrir a year after joining the Navy.

Sarah Fukumoto

|Name: Sarah "Sakura" Fukumoto
Rank: Lieutenant
Role: C/E (Chief Engineer)

Personality: A very intelligent girl. The youngest officer to be in service aboard the USS Fenrir, and possibly all the ships in JDF-1. She's also very shy, not talking to other much, even if she knows them.
Bio: Sarah was a orphan for ten years of her life before she was adopted by an American-Japanese family. The years following that, she found she was naturally gifted. Being able to learn quickly, and keep that knowledge. This caused her to delve into books, and spend most of her time in solitude. She never developed her people skills very far. While her parents were happy that she was so willing to learn, but were concerned she would have troubles in life since she never really conversed with people outside the family.

Needless to say, she did better than expected. But she never really put her smarts into the workforce. As she joined the Navy, she was immediately given the rank of Lieutenant due to her scores, and how quickly she grasped concepts. She was made Chief Engineer on the USS Fenrir

Juliana Mooringstar

|Name: Juliana "Shorty" Mooringstar
Rank: Lieutenant Junior Grade
Role: F35B Pilot

Personality: Outgoing, has the same hyperness that her sister Steffanie has. But is more susceptible to irritation and aggravation. But besides that, she is a way better drunk than her sister
Bio: Juliana suffered from the same job difficulties that her sister had, except for she was in the US. While Steffanie was in the Deutsche Marine. Steffanie had gone to live in the US. But when she couldn't keep a job for more than a month, it started getting to her, making her irritated and slightly aggressive. But one day one of her friends told to her enlist in the Navy, she thought that Juliana would fit in there quite well. And she did, and was made into a Naval Pilot, mainly piloting a F/A-18E/F and a E2D Advanced Hawkeye before she was transferred over to a new vessel.

After Steffanie had been Captain of the USS Fenrir for a month, Juliana was transferred over to it as the pilot for the recently granted F35B. She was able to fly it in less than a month due to her inept ability to fly planes, but that comes at a cost as it physically and mentally strains her, and every time she learns to fly a new aircraft, it makes her more and more susceptible to irritation and aggravation

So Gunther, is this a replacement or will you run 2 subs?

I thought he was running two surface ships o 3o

TheEvanCat said
Ukraine uses them! :P

I bet they do XD

TheEvanCat said
We don't use diesels anymore

Tis why I mentioned a WW2 sub in my example XD

OPTEVFOR JDF-1 [Naval][Ship-Based][Modern]

Gunther said
Submarines are best at Anti Surface Warfare and Strategic Missile launches. Yes, they can hunt and engage other submerged submarines, but it is not their primary role. They are ship killers. Destroyers and Frigates serve the role of hunting and killing submarines more efficiently. Besides, submerged boats are slower than surface ships.

That logic is valid for ships that use batteries to power their engines when submerged (ie U-Boat VII and variants without a Snorkel) where the batteries have less output than the diesels when surfaced.

However, in modern times, where submarines are powered by engines that can run in both states (surfaced and submerged) they either loose a few knots, or even go faster submerged than surfaced. As well as being engineered to be hydrodynamic when submerged

Wernher said
Well, submarines can destroy other submarines, but still, can we have multiple ships?

What I was going to say. Especially since my sub will be an Attack Sub, thus giving a sort of a multi-role position XD
And having multiple ships would be cool. But running the crew on board the ships would be hellish. Since running one ships crew is hell enough in a combat scenario XD

Ace Combat: The Global War

this then?
or this?

Ace Combat: The Global War

Silverwind Blade said
Yes, that's exactly the one, thanks. And I had a feeling it wasn't called something straight forward, as you mentioned. Thanks for finding it though :)

I knew it sounded familiar, but I was too sure :P
Can't really play my AC4 anymore, it somehow got insanely scratched up. Can only play up to the 5th or so mission then it freaks out
But if that 'briefing' music don't get you pumped.

Ace Combat: The Global War

Silverwind Blade said
I like the one from Ace Combat 4, personally - it sounds kind of punchy, a bit 'formal', but gets the blood up a bit for a 'yeah, let's do this!' Of course, I'm interested to see what everyone else says.

You mean this one?

Hardest part about finding AC4's briefing music is that it isn't called briefing XD

Rafale said
Woah, me too. But then again, that kind of thing is regular for me. It's especially cool when I don't realize I'm dreaming, so all the emotions of adrenaline, fear and determination feel all too real.

Had that with another game I like :P XGRA. Dreamt I was driving (well, I guess you could say riding since they are 'bikes') and woke up with pains from how I was tossing about and what not.
