Stardust: A Freeform Sci-Fi Fantasy NRP

@Ophidian well. I feel bad about scaring someone away from an rp, so go ahead and stay. I'll take my worthless nation and fuck off.

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

You can also scale back certain "problematic" elements or just play them low in the NRP.
I'd hate to see any player to leave.

Also to be honest destroying countries in casual warship salvos is pretty staple in space opera. So having huge ships is actually not a guaranteed bonus.
Just try to play them low when it'd dominate the plot or something. Fictional writers do that all the time.

That's....108 miles.

For reference, Cuba is about 760 square miles.

By my limited understanding of maths....

It'd...it'd crush a good seventh of Cuba by landing. Cuba is also, at the largest, 55 miles wide. It couldn't even land on Cuba without hitting ocean....

*Blinks*

@Ophidian

Hence why he has only a few warships.

Stardust: A Freeform Sci-Fi Fantasy NRP

BTW, how large are the warships of people?
Mine would be between 200-800m with Vega-class being around 675m.
Although I plan to have my ships being relatively small compared to what everyone else has.

A general area should be fine, but a map is pointless

Space is 3D, first of all, and not an ocean, so my faction could be literally under yours on the map

Not to mention the scale; my entire empire could legitimately be concentrated in a tiny dot somewhere, and it has more planets under its "control" than someone who owns a an eighth of the galaxy

@Priscilla

Terminal actually did attempt to make a map which was accurate.
It involved some cosmic BS which transported all civs into a new cube-shaped mini universe and he made 3 maps (xy, xz, yz) to portray our position in all 3 vectors of space.
It worked pretty well but it was quite a pain to keep track of.

Stardust: A Freeform Sci-Fi Fantasy NRP

As others said the galaxy is HUGE.
Hundreds of billions of star systems to be approximate. Many space NRPs failed because the vastness of this space bothered people.
That and distances to cover. I think it's better if we leave our locations in the galaxy vague.

@KeyguypersonBTW, can't you just copy-paste the OP of the interest thread here for the OOC?
That seems a simple method to me.

*throws out concept*

well never mind then.

@Ophidian

To be fair just because some parts of the world are pagans doesn't mean this new religion would bother yours for sure.
It could be just a piece of territory you never had any control over.

Stardust: A Freeform Sci-Fi Fantasy NRP

Yeah, I can totally see the Starfleet pretending there's nothing out there in space...
Seriously, I'd be the straight guy in this game even though I have the confirmed population of millions of literal furfags.

Stardust: A Freeform Sci-Fi Fantasy NRP

I honestly feel bad for any alien race studying the humans.

"Okay, so most of them are communists?"
"Sorta, some are more communists than others."
"But they all hate each other despite being communists?"
"To be fair, one of them is based on some old civilization they had way back when, Ramens or something."
"So we have ancient noodles and communists who hate each other, I think I sorta understand now?"
"Oh yeah, they also have space furries."
"..."
"What?"
"Fuck this, go find someone else to be the diplomat to them. Sounds like their race as a whole has multiple personality disorder."

@ClocktowerEchos

I actually expect that kind of reaction from the Federation.
Human factions being out there is weird but when even alien races copy their ancient and way outdated cultural norms they would question whether they took too much drugs and actually they are just dreaming about some weirdly cliche sci-fi world.

Also sneer at nations which still resort to barbaristic measures like violence and war (which the Federation totally does but they found more PC sounding terms and convoluted methods to do that) and discriminate based on appearance when to them a random Q-Med can change looks within a hour flat.

Overall I feel my Federation might even manage to be more alien than most extraterrestrial factions in there.
