OOC: Anyone who wants to drop out, the jump is a great opportunity to do so. They simply went elsewhere (perhaps to the space fold's originally intended safe destination), and will not be interacting with any of the other ships in this RP. IC: Uggh... Meryl took stock of her situation as she regain...

Of course people will stop playing it eventually. It might take a while, but it will happen. Or at least it'll descend into being a cult classic - one that never entirely goes away, but does not have the fanbase it once did. See Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and other classics from over 20 years ago. Or...

Alert Food expanding Energy pattern detected - self-organization detected - potential self-awareness detected Meryl, being organic, could not think quite as fast as her ship could panic, but the difference was not insurmountable. The nebula - the very one the Mu-ohki had just been feeding off of - ...

I've played it. Lots of people like it, but my take: lame game is lame. WAY excessive micromanaging, not much in the way of help (your dwarf is flashing a down arrow? You'll just have to guess which of 10 different things that means - and it's probably an 11th you didn't even know existed), suicidal...

OOC: Plot? What plot? Most of the posters seem to be ignoring everyone else and just assuming they'll get sucked in to the plot without interacting or otherwise providing us a hook to bring them in on. That doesn't work in RPs like this. (Of course, it doesn't help when people ignore those who are ...

Note that there doesn't appear to be a way to force your ship to appear different colors - other than the base 4 - if someone else (with default colors) downloads & loads your ship.

The data torpedoes might have passed unmolested, had the Mu-ohki not picked up on their intense active scanner pulses and decided to take a close look. The torpedoes had been set to keep a distance of 100 kilometers; unfortunately, Meryl wanted a close look - more like 100 meters. When the torpedo t...

If you have the ship's name, go to the list then hit Ctrl+F in your browser to search by name.

...okay, yeah, there's room for improvement, but it's not THAT bad yet.

OOC: Consider Mjolnir's post and Da_Higg Winged Cat's subsequent posts voided... Aww...oh, well. :roll: IC: Meryl noticed the Indomitable's jump away with concern. Fleeing just because a lot of ships were appearing? That was not standard practice, unless...hmm, and the configuration did seem a litt...

Couldn't help myself...

"A waifahr-theen shep."

That self-destructs in another ship's belly, catastrophically bursting the victim.

I believe he was talking about HighComedy's Ships

Just assume for the sake of continuity, that the Indomitable got spooked by all the unfamiliar ships jumping into the sector, and jumped to Hyperspace. "CONTACTS" yelled the closest officer "And one of them is mechanoid and there are several other vessels around them." "Wha...

It might be nice to include this as an option. But if it is included, it really should be optional - and default off - for that reason.

10ID94X9/Meryl frowned for just a moment as her hail went unanswered, until diagnostics discovered why. The Mu-ohki's and the Indomitable's hails had been sent at the same time, so only the larger ship's signal had been replied to. Very well, let them handle the first contact. Slowly, the crystallin...

You haven't gone too far enough.
