I am willing to run a space game. If I like Moon's notes, I'll adopt them, if not, then the Hollen's prize and the chars will stay the same, but I'll make a story of my own.

Deal?

Fine by me. Fortunately, the story had only just begun. We may not even notice if you take 'er in a different direction.

I'm in.

Kassy · « **Reply #27 on:** April 19, 2012, 09:06:51 AM »

I'm definately in!

Silveressa · « **Reply #28 on:** April 22, 2012, 02:00:15 AM »

Count me in as well, I'm all for this, whatever storyline you come up with!

EchoMirage · « **Reply #29 on:** April 23, 2012, 02:17:34 AM »

Ok, laddies and ladies, we've got three on board, hence we can take off. We'll proceed sometimes this week I guess. More to come.

I'm in as well...

Kassy · « **Reply #31 on:** April 23, 2012, 08:40:21 AM »

Can't wait!

Echo was exceedingly busy, did not forget though. Will commence postage soon.

Aaaand we have liftoff. Hell yeah.

Thank you Echo! Hollen's Prize lives again

Soon......

Really wish I had my old PC's hard drive so that I knew what I had on my character. If anyone has any info could you please email it to me?

EchoMirage · « **Reply #39 on:** May 04, 2012, 12:36:41 AM »

I have very little in Moon's notes, will PM to you once I'm on my other computer.

Kassy · « **Reply #40 on:** May 05, 2012, 10:14:46 AM »

Ok, thank you.

I've received them now and am in the process of expanding and altering my notes to better fit the campaign.

EchoMirage · « **Reply #41 on:** May 05, 2012, 11:24:31 AM »

Guys and girls, feel free to have a few flavor posts of your characters, then the Hollen's Prize will jump.

Kassy · « **Reply #42 on:** May 05, 2012, 12:58:58 PM »

Flavour posts as in char introductions? I'm not familiar with the term.

Essentially it's where you write your own intro, of where you are on the ship, what you're doing etc.. and your initial interaction with of one of the NPC's (or bumping into a PC)

valadaar · « **Reply #44 on:** May 05, 2012, 01:40:38 PM »

So what does it have for weaponry? Railguns, lazers, cannon?

EchoMirage · « **Reply #45 on:** May 05, 2012, 02:31:31 PM »

It has two laser turrets that go pew-pew-pew, one on the belly and one on the back. Very basic targeting systems, but then, light's pretty quick and accurate. Unless you're moving at relativistic speeds, it's point-and-fire.
As a laser is coherent light, it dissipates and loses punch after a certain range. Railguns and missiles circumvent this problem, but a) the Prize doesn't have them b) they're expensive and bulky.

After a discussion with Silver and Kassy, I am retconning some of the fluff. Ships DO have intertial dampeners, allowing for greater acceleration than a meager 1.5G which takes 10 days to get you out of system.

Of course, if you're boasting a military destroyer drive and pumping 700 Gs, then a dampener failure means you're strawberry jam.

Ships run on fusin drives to clear gravity wells. Outside thosem, they can erect a gravitic sheath which a) protects them from top and bottom, but not from sides and not at all from front and back b) has excellent acceleration. Switching on a gravitic sheath inside a stronger gravity field messes up your drives.

To enter hyperspace, ships reconfigure the sheath into colossal gravitic sails, and make the jump. This a) gives up the protection of the sheath b) can be done only out of system c) takes some time.

Is Jerome where he can intercede on this issue? If so, he will simply ask the computer to lock out the controls on that hatch.

Unless of course, this is a lengthy operation, in which case he will simply stop him.

"Wait - that is valuable evidence - without it we can't charge her with anything!"

Val, was your previous post/shouted order meant for the in game area or OCC? (I went ahead and posted in game with a response that will work either way.)

(Oh and I'm not sure what Autumn's intimidation % factor is but I rolled a 29 on a d100 in chat for it, so hopefully that'll be good enough.

valadaar · « **Reply #49 on:** May 10, 2012, 11:29:08 AM »

It was meant for EM to use if the conditions were true - I'm not sure Jerome is in the scene currently!
