I'm with Uriel on this and everyone who has been here for longer than two years know my stance on weaponry between table top and lore. Tabletop is one of the worst ways to balance a weapon because it is extremely biased towards central balancing and not what the true potential of an item is. This RP is not necessarily about the damage of the weapon because we aren't really doing 1v1 combat in a way but more so of a general group consensus. IF this was something with fewer players where we weren't attempting something as large scale then it might be more acceptable. As a final ruling in support of Uriel, we have at this time made it clear that anything above an Admiral, General, Justicar, Magos (of certain types) are overruled at this time from entering. No Inquisitors or other high power/profile characters are allowed. Being iconic is okay but this is Uriels RP and he calls the final shots, I'm only a mediator when he is unavailable or when there is large amounts of uncertainty.
Oh alright, then... Hmm, does a battleship need torpedo launching frigets? I like the firestorm, but the sword is very iconic. I guess the Firestorm and Cobra Deatroyer combo would be good, I assume. Do battleships preform boardings, or have ships the board otherships? Just curious.
Is it just me that really prefer smaller roleplays? They are much easier to hang along in and such. (the downside is that they are more likely to fall flat)
More Torpedo, more Armor Piercing. The Battleship itself you may assume is quite ideal for taking out big ships, however you guys also have a Dominator class ship which should be able to annihilate anything real big. So my personal suggestion would be fast frigates that can work against bombers, gunships & boarding vessels. They will be the true danger in void combat from what I can see.
Each has it's own unique set of problems. The main issue is that people have to get more used of tagging people. The EC forum platform is definitely not made for things like this. On websites such as RPGnation/RPnation or Crunchyroll, one would have different threads within the RP representing the different areas / places of interest, where people then only would interact where their char currently is (unless otherwise quoted/pinged). However, I kind of anticipated a drop of players in the early phase and am more than ready to adjust in order to make sure the RP continues to work, since people are intrigued by it's concept. Now we just have to see who sticks around, and who does not, and what players' desires will be in different departments and how those ones change. See @Xaphen as most ideal of examples that he changed char before his initial idea could even make an appearance, things like this will continue to happen.
For example, I loved the Eldar RP we did. (the pre fall) It had a perfect number of players and was pretty active. (though what it contained is a diffrent story)
@Uriel1339 Was just about to mention tagging people...and while it would be nice to have everyone read everything so they get the full affect of this RP and avoid repeating things, it is unrealistic to assume... Also I wish a boarding vessel or some other ship would come around my broadside... The Dominator Class is kind of a big deal...I'm just saying.
Oh what about Firestorm frigets and two of these bad boys? http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Falchion-class_Frigate I remember that one, the Kaptin had three characters and I became the GM... First time I ever did it... Hmm maybe I'd be good to try my hand at it again?
