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.

Infinity Blades sounds... medieval to me, I'm thinking something more like 'Starscape'

Star Infinity actually sounds good to me, if we're sticking with the word 'Infinity'

Maybe because this isn't the old Star Odyssey so Mestra wants that indicated? I thought Infinity Blade sounded familiar... Again if we stick with 'Infinity', 'Star Infinity' sounds good.

I didn't realize Infinity's Blade was a game. I would really prefer not to use real names like that regardless of it is a game or not, and related to space or not.

Because I'm fairly impatient and want to get somethings rolling. We are going with Star Infinity for the name.

Mestra runs off to post a variety of things for the relaunch.

So I'm trying to get this done as quickly as possible. A couple of people are working on a variety of things, and I will spend whatever time I can tomorrow night and Friday to get this done asap.

So what's left?


  • Tech Tree - This is a broad tech tree and gives broad examples and Tech Eras, an explanation will go along with this to help you understand it.
  • Star Map - We need a galactic map, which is divided into quadrants with the quadrants being divided into Sectors (the claimable plots). It might be best to divide the map ito four smaller quadrant maps much like the Modern RP maps are.
  • Guides - I'll be finishing these up as I get things done.


You will likely notice that I will be posting forms and submissions for my own faction. This is for a multiple of reasons: first I'm lazy and want to do it now, second it allows me to see what the forms look like with information in them, to see what works and doesn't, and fix formatting issues, and third I can use those as examples in the guides. So don't you worry your time to post that epic Space Empire will soon be at hand.

We could use one of the RL milky way maps that are floating around like we did last time, or I might be able to generate a randomised unique star map in GIMP. Which is preferred?

We might to do something like that, but we need to be able to have the map divided into quadrants and scaled large enough to allow the grid lines for the Sectors.

I"m thinking of going with hexagon plots for the sectors, and the sectors will only exist on the galaxy arms, i.e no empty space can be claimed.
