Relaunch/Star Odyssey Migration

So some of you may recall when we were still apart of the Commonwealth, that there was a RP that we had called Star Odyssey. Now while it was ultimately failing in its initial phase and there was work being done to reformat and then relaunch it before the CoR basically collapsed in on itself, I would like to take the format that we had, the history, the ideas and merge them on top of the Future Tech RP.

So Robbafett and I will begin migrating over a bunch of the history and timelines, etc to this forum and begin sorting out how things can work. Likely we will use some of the existing stuff posted by Luca which provide clearly defined rules and regulations, and mix in a little of our normal Modern RP items to make the transition a smooth and seamless one. Optimization is key, as we work to revitalize Future Tech RP for real this time. I hope we can count on your support and the support from the Ministry.

So what do we need?
From the Ministry: Can we have a sub-forum added called Galactipedia. Everything else in FT should be moved into the Galactic Archive so we can remove the old topics to make things less confusing, We can always unbox topics at a later time. These should still be accessible of course.

From everyone else: We will need a concept design for a map that is functional and allows for expansions, similar to how Modern RP does it. We also need a new name instead of Star Odyssey as we rebrand and evolve.

Galactic Archive is presently for factbooks and stuff--not for actual archives. What do you intend to have in Galactipedia?

Could move them to the Superarchive.

Mestra, before myself and others do thinks, what is Star Odyssey? You'll have to explain it more, because it doesn't tound similar to the galactic rp we've done here, and I think we'd rather know what's going on before we all mindlessly delve into helping.

Well I guess the Galactic Archive as it is and the Galactipedia are the same thing. It was just the naming we had in the CoR. I guess its not that important, it would be beneficial to not mix things up for the moment at least

Star Odyssey as it was in the CoR (using this as reference) was set about 1000 years into the future after earth, Here is a timeline Robba had made for the events that went on, SO Timeline. Ultimately humans destroyed earth and fled to the stars. Humanity left in various stages in the original, with some leaving on generational ships, others leaving on early FTL ships, and the last group leaving on fast FTL or jumps (hyperspace). Thus giving a varying degree of difference between humans at least. Earliest peoples had to restart over, but did so earlier. The last people were very advanced and traveled a shorter time. Its all relative I suppose. There were no restrictions on alien species. Some were human, others were random aliens creatures, and some were robots bend on destroying organic life (looks at King). There is much to tell you really as we didn't progress to much, so basically this leaves an open book to be filled.

The only thing the migration would do essentially would be to establish a preset history of humanity, and restricting anyone from having Earth as an actual planet. The only main player in SO was the United Trade Federation, which was basically a player state like noberia is here, but that won't be making an appearance at least not in its current state.

So really I suppose this is just a reboot of the reboot, adding in a stronger background and history of the galaxy or universe (depending on how you want to play it). The main focus here is to develop the back story of why things are as they are, and then start populating the galaxy/universe with our factions (nations). As I said in the OP, several things posted by Luca would remain with additions in regulation that are used in the Modern RP.

Mestra,

could my race, the Naoti, be a part of your realm?

I don't have much to add history wise, you all can see the timeline(hopefully), besides the Swarm wars of course but that'll come up later. The Requirements for the nations were previously fairly loose (distinctly remembers Faction of Super Saiyans) and what we have should be fairly easy to adapt to these Forums.

I will however have to explain how the RP worked. It was what was called multi-tiered one tier being the National Politics, massive fleets slamming into each other or groups of dignitaries meeting to create coalitions. While the Other tier was from a first person point of view centered around one character from your faction, whether or not that character was actually on friendly terms with your factions government was completely up to you. Alternatively your character could be the head of state of you faction or anyone in between.

NOTE: Fear the Capatilist Pigdogs who seek to conquer the galaxy, don't trust them.

I'd like to give this another shot, using the same civilization type I had in the previous version, but I'll have intensely modified it though.

AT quick glance, I see no reason why they couldn't be in this version. I think we would be very capable to adapt the SO history to the current FT and re-brand them both as one. I would actually like it if we could keep the existing factbooks intact as that would be a far better use of everyone's time.

Likely, the formatting would be transferred over if anybody is willing.

Making me read tiny words Robba, shame on you.

Anyway, as Robba said the original SO use a Tier System, there were 3 tiers actually, the two mentioned by Robba above, and a third one which was independent stories, novellas if you will that you personally controlled and wrote for everyone. We could keep the Tier system and migrate it here for us to try out. I know in normal RP we already RP multiple people, but the idea in SO was to have people RP a single character and stick with them to allow better development of people, but that is all moot if nobody wants to do that.

Likely, the Factbook template presented by Luca would be utilized as its very detailed. Some modifications may be made, but I doubt it of course.

The benefits here are the utilization of rules and regulations, instead of the free for all that we had.

I'd be ok with RPing one character. It could be fun RPing a member of a machine race, my how interesting it would be when he interacts with organics. :P

I've been wanting to RP this race for a LONG time and haven't had the chance when the space RP died, I think the form that Luca used could easily be used by this new one as well since Luca kinda vanished.

Yah, we will work on it. There is some mechanics issues to work out. Like how the map will work, how expansions, colonizations will work etc. There are a few ideas floating around for this.

The other issue comes with technology restrictions, and how that will all work. Do we restrict certain things, have a group that okays things (i.e Ministry approved), do we have a basic Tech Tree, etc.

I think this could be a ton of fun. I'd likely toss both my races from Caprecia's FT and Space Odyssey out the window, and make a new one, tbh, because I like inventing aliens.

I think Luca's factbook system would be good, but first we need to set up some ground work. I think a basic regulations like the one we use for MT would be useful, maybe even simpler than that, and we choose a couple of people to lead this project and give them modship in these forums. However, my understanding of how the ministers view their powers, they may not like that - they read the regs as saying they control all RP not just MT and probably won't like separating FT.

I think a basic tech ladder would be good. I'd be happy to compile one easily (will work on a proposal in a second). I'd also like for us to stay away from the rather overused evil virus species and all that, which were present in Odyssey. I'd like to encourage people to be very unique in this.

Alternatively, we could ignore earth all together and have no humans, but not sure how popular that would be ... even if it'd be a nice change from FT which always assumes humans survived somehow.

I'm split on the tier thing, but I think really it separates activity to much. Let people RP the same way as they do in MT, which is threads can be any of character or nation or a mix.

As I was interested in the last FT push here, I'm interested now as well, I would like for some standardization in terms of tech and such, we really petered out last time on that subject, Mass Effect has Mass Relays, Star Wars has Hyperspace with Hyperspace shadows limiting, EVE and its Warp Gates and In-System Warp Drives, etc. I also don't like the idea of not having humans at all, but I do like the Noberia-IN SPACE concept.

I've renamed the archives to Galactipedia, though I've left the threads in there for now, in case you guys wanna use that or something. Give me a heads once you need them moved and we can slide them over to the Galaxy sector of the super-archives that I just respawned. Regarding the other threads: most of those are for one-shot RPs and I don't really see a need to purge them atm. If Star Odyssey takes over Space Tech, then I'll move em away, but until Star Odyssey does, I think this place should remain as general Space Tech RP.

Now, as for this....

RP Ministers tend "to all other matters regarding Role Play in its Region." Now /there's/ a loophole, kids. RP Ministers technically have no authority in Space Tech or Fantasia. But let's just slide that under the carpet, shall we?

Main point of me wandering on in here was to tell you guys that the Modern Tech Role Play Regulations, 2014 are exactly the that: the regulations for Modern Tech. That's all they govern. There aren't really any regulations for Role Play itself. Of course, I was gonna say that we still run RP here, but I kinda can't, because fucking loophole.

Hmm...this is quite a bother. So...how bout that constitutional reform?

Yes, but seriously: I guess you can just do whatever for now. >__>

Just continue with your planning.... Lines wanders off to the executive council thingy.
