    Lets dooo the Timewarp agaaaaain (wait, again?... it's the first time!)

    Okay, sorry for the misleading title but couldn't help myself.

    Anyway, more on this topic later, but for now I will tease you with this:

    We have the pirate dropship as well as many former members of the group in custody. After extensive interrogation, it has been discovered that one of the prisoners may be Daniel Creed, commader of the pirate attack and oldest son of Griffton Creed; a lower level pirate warlord, but well known terror on the Lyran/FRR periphery border. The recently captured Leopard dropship may be the ticket to finding the rat in his hole. We still have roughly 3 months left on our contract. There are rumors the FRR may give us leave to seek out and destroy the slaver's base of operations. Negotiations are still being kept secret...


    -NEW EDIT- (Sept. 3, 2012)

    CURRENT STATUS OF CAMPAIGN: PLANNING

    We are doing a few things different for this campaign. The idea is not to introduce anything too ambitious, but we hope to liven up the missions a bit by making them more dynamically influenced by the player's action. Without giving too much away, expect to see a smarter foe in the coming campaign.

    Currently, we are fleshing out the enemy's forces (we should finish today). After that, we need to make a rough mission draft flow chart.

    On a somewhat unrelated note, I also need to finish reorganizing our conventional forces. Will be contacting those of you involved with that. If everything goes according to plan, this should all be finished in the next couple of days

    Pfft. You think one silly nuke would be enough to take out an entire jumpship?

    Do I see a hot drop mission in our future?

    I invoke the ancient Svinfylking ritual of Dibs on piloting the dropship.

    Realistically, I don't see us starting the next mission until next week... possibly but hopefully no later than ~17th-19th. somewhere in there...

    YES, we will be jumping to 3048.

    YES, anyone who wants to join is welcome (and encouraged to do so NOW... space is somewhat limited)

    YES, you can keep your character and skills. ages and names can be changed as needed/desired. existing characters can't be younger, but they can stay the same age or be older.

    YES, RP will be encouraged from here on out although not strictly followed.

    NO, you can't start with Star League tech (you can upgrade though).

    NO, you can't start with some obscure/extinct/custom design (you *might* get a chance to look for one later).

    NO, you can't have two characters although you might get control of NPCs periodically.

    NO, you can't be a clanner, fly a dropship, do something else stupid, etc.

    more info to come...

    Well, I should be more active after the 18th. So sounds good to me.

    They weren't invented until after mid-3052. So get in your freaking time machine.
