((So we just flew on an interstellar spaceship, but need to literally reinvent the wheel?

I get having to build things locally, creating a sorta Firefly like schizophrenic technology. But wouldn't we bring the equivalent of Wikipedia and Youtube, loaded with handy knowledge? And basic tools to allow us to manufacture other tools? Or a 3d printer and a crapton of nanoplastic?))

Yes I get what you mean, but what will the goal be? We would just be able to build anything we wanted. That would take away a lot of adventure. o_O
 
((while I do plan on signing up for this, I don't really understand both the point of and how it would be plausible that a cutting edge 24th-century ship loaded with probably some of the most intelligent minds of the time would not be able to pack supplies, let alone have to build up from the stone age. Like, take Dwarf Fortress for example, the dwarves don't just show up empty-handed, they bring tools, some food, and real clothes.))
 
Okay, I admit I wasn't spending the most time thinking this out, I was just glad to start it. :oops: The ships are packed with food, namely fish and vegetables from the hydroponics farm, and your character does have clothes, but they aren't able to make new clothes at the moment. And I guess they could've brought guns and some ammunition, but the technology is what they can create, not what they have. Yes they have shuttles, guns, and other advanced things but they don't have the resources to make ammunition, or fuel at the moment. That's what the technology is about.
 
((He does make a point.. furthermore a game still can be exiting without much of a tech tree or handicap on production.. You could just have us encounter aliens and the like. ))
 
If all of you want to change the technology system to just be a resource system I will.

And If so the jobs will change.
Pilot:
Will pilot the E.S. Magellan, and the E.S. Columbus. Will bring explorers across this alien world. Skills very dependent on level of expertise.
Explorer:
Will make maps, and find resources. Doesn't require much experience.
Miner:
Will gather resources dependent on their level.
Hunter:
Not as much expertise required, but requires knowledge of firearms.
 
And in character creation this is the new template, If you already made a character just add the Traits in a new post.

Name: John Example
Age: 35
Job: Pilot
Traits: Air Force Pilot, (+2 Pilot),
Selfish, (-1 Politics),
Bio: A pilot in the NATO Airforce to protect against the Great Russian Empire. He realized he could make a fortune in this Colony with his piloting skills.

Can have as many traits as you want but must end up with +1 traits over all, or lower.
 
Name: Ronin Wilson
Job: Explorer
Nationality: English
Traits: Sharp-Eyed (+1 Observation), Nimble (+2 Agility, -2 Toughness)
Bio: Blah. Born in one of the few non-polluted suburbs of Birmingham, Ronin always dreamed of going to the stars. When the opportunity to join the New Dawn arose, she eagerly jumped at the chance to fulfill her dreams. Her senses are sharp and she has a talent for worming her way out of danger, but she isn't so good at taking a hit.

Welcome, and I hope your exploring skills shall serve the colony well.
 
I have a question to the people following my game. I just had a moment of inspiration and have an idea for a second game based around the War of the Roses. If you think this would be a good thing to create I'll create it as soon as this game is getting underway. :D
 
((I wasn't paying attention and Monday flew past so I'm doing today.))

The landing site that had been scouted and the colonists were being shuttled down. Some of the Major characters being Prince William XI of the Netherlands, and Keiko Fujioka, one of the best Biologists on Earth. Other people who seem to be notable are a hunter and an explorer, John Weston, and Ronin Wilson. Although there are many more people coming they aren't of note.

Prince William was running for governor and due to his royal blood and knowing how to govern he would win by a landslide.
 
I'm sorry about not doing the updates but I'm getting discouraged and am about to cancel this, as I'm not getting any replies this week. :oops:
And I couldn't have done a council meeting anyway, no council members.
 
Due to inactivity, this game is being put on hold. Sorry for anyone who was interested. I may start a new game soon. If you want to get this started back up Message me and I will bring it back from the grave, but for now I will start on something else.
