I was thinking, shouldn't the four sleeper ships that left earth, shouldn't they be devided by the 4/6 continents and whatever planet they land on, they'd claim, they should name it after they're continent or a place there?

e.g. North and South America find a planet and call it "New America"

Europe find a planet and call it "New London

Asia claim a planet and call it "New Russia"

Africa/Australlia claim a planet and call it "Queensland"

[starmark2k]

The colonies and everything relating to their societies will be worked out in phase two, this includes the people that make up the world and where they may have originated on earth. We will also discuss their possible evolutions aswell as capital cities... Also i left the further colonization Question until Phase two as that's dependant on what the Empire is like.

[steven]

Okay cool. By the way, another thing to think about, Bad guys. Or are we going to talk about it later?

[starmark2k]

OK I'll go into detail of the phases 2-5 to stop this line of questioning.(in no order)

 

Bad Guys and all things like that will be dealt with in Phase 3(If we decide the colonies are hostile) and/or phase 4 when we create all the 'Minor' groups. Phase 4 includes the creation of corporations, terrorist cell, Pirate groups, Organised crime gangs and anything else that may be related like new religeons and cults. We'll look into how they opperate where in space they exsist.

 

Phase 2- We'll be creating the planets, people, history, military, political structure and even econmy of each empire. I may even knock up a stella map so we know where the planets are in relation to one another.

 

Phase 3 we'll discuss if the Colonies get on, are at war, have trade alliances. We'll look into the reasons why they may not like each other or why they may be the best of friends... This will also be when we work out most of the history that is not specific to the individual colony.

 

Phase 5 will envolve us going over what we've done in the previous phases and fill in any Gaps or smooth out the rough edges.

[Jedi Atomic]

This really sounds like something you create on a new Role-playing site like a completely new internet Forum site.

 

I'm guessing we can start suggesting or are you making up the questions for phase 2.

[starmark2k]

thanks for the suggestion but i don't think we need to create a new forum for this, I don't think it's big enough to deserve a One all on it's own and we don't know if when it comes down to it if it'll be a success. We also have Moderator backing (you rock Sting) so if it is successful i'm sure we can get a sub-forum for it... Just kidding.

[Jedi Atomic]

Oh well, doesn't bother me!

 

Are we going to be starting phase 2?

 

I remember having many suggestions but can't remember any right now. I'm not much of a namer-of-things, but I really like that idea Steven suggested, about where they came from.

[starmark2k]

As we haven't had any votes in two days i'll go on to the second round of Questions.

 

Question 7: Why are Lasers Limited?

1) New Tech- The technology has only recently been invented and hasn't had time to be widly used

2) Expensive- It costs alot of money to buy and maintain Laser based weapons, So only the wealthiest people and goverment can afford it.

3) By Permit only (Jasra's Suggestion)- The goverments stricktly limit access of the weapons too the public

4) Not Handheld (Wldjedi's Suggestion )- Lasers are only availiable as large weapons and have too be mounted on ships, vehicals and platforms.

 

Question 8: Alternate Weapons (Stinger's Suggestion)... With this question you can select multiples.

1) Rail Gun's- Projectile-based weapon that use magnetic drive systems to fire the weapons.

2) Sonic Based- Weapons that Cause a concentrated stream of Vibrating air towards a target. These weapons only work in Atmosphere.

3) Magnetic pulse- The magnetic pulse creates and launches a magnetic shot, Unlike the Rail gun it requires no Ammo and just fires a ball of solid magnetic energy. Weapon also create's an EMP which can disable electronics.

4) None- Only Guns that work using modern principles and laser exsist

5) Other- Suggestions please

 

Question 9: Although Hypergates are the primary use of FTL transport what should be the secondary? (All secondary types have problems, Stinger's Suggestion)

1) None- Hypergates are the only way to travel FTL

2) Hyperspace- Hyperspace creates an artificial wormhole to travel. Entering Hyperspace without the use of a Gate is very havardous, you may be unable to leave or could get caught in a hyperspace storm that is destructive.

3) FTL Drive- The use Of FTL allows instantaneous transport across great distances. It's impossible to Navigate and properly plot a course for an FTL Jump, You could end up Several lightyears in any direction of your required destination. They are also influanced by gravity meaning you can end up in a a sun or black.

4) Other- Sugestion Please.

 

Question 10: How is Evoulution Acheived?

1) Natural- The species has evolved to adapt to its surroundings in the same way.(the whole of a colony has evolved)

2) Engineering- Un-natual genetic engineering has taken place to help with the survival of the species. (Not all the species has evolved.)

3) Mutation- Some of the species has begun to evolve but others haven't. (Not all the species has evolved... and not always in the same way)

 

Question 11: Where did the colonists come from?(steven's Suggestion)

1) Continental(Sleeper)- Each colonyship was built in a differant continent and filled it with the people from the continent. Sleeper ships had people chriogenically frozen until they landed.

2) Global lottery(Sleeper)- The ships were built and then filled with People who were chosen by chance from a lottery. Sleeper ships had people chriogenically frozen until they landed.

3) Best of the Best(Sleeper)- The top people in everyfield were picked to start the new life and continue the race. Sleeper ships had people chriogenically frozen until they landed.

4) Continental(Awake)- Each colonyship was built in a differant continent and filled it with the people from the continent. The colonists were not frozen and lived on the ship until they found a new home.

5) Global lottery(Awake)- The ships were built and then filled with People who were chosen by chance from a lottery. The colonists were not frozen and lived on the ship until they found a new home.

6) Best of the Best(Awake)- The top people in everyfield were picked to start the new life and continue the race. The colonists were not frozen and lived on the ship until they found a new home.

7) Other- Suggestions Please.

 

Note. if you pick one of the Other options please pick a second choice incase the suggestion isn't taken up, With the exception of question 8 where you can give multiple answers anyway... This vote will end wednesday or when all the people who voted in the first round have voted, which ever comes first.

[starmark2k]

Question 10: How is Evoulution Acheived?

3) Mutation- Some of the species has begun to evolve but others haven't. (Not all the species has evolved... and not always in the same way)

Idea: The mutation differs between the collinists because of which planet they landed on

 

I think you mean Natural then as thats the idea for that option. Mutation is like in X men how some people have mutated when others haven't

[steven]

[Writer]

Question 7: Why are Lasers Limited?

It's a combination of more than one of these options. 1)New tech. It's new, so therefore it's 4)large and 2)expensive. The militaries that exist are the only ones who can afford to make use of the technology.

for this one, i actually had a bit of a brainstorm. the orginal idea was that the majority of Earth was destroyed through nuclear warfare. if you think about it, that means a couple of things. first, the majority of people that survived are going to be from third-world countries since nuclear war is likely to break out among industrialized countries. That means that the majority of Western Europe, the US, Canada, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, and Japan would have the highest likelihood of being wiped out due to conflict among each other (that and the majority of those countries also have nuclear weapons). You could possibly include some of the Middle Eastern countries and perhaps one or two African nations on that list as well.

 

what would then be left is largely going to consist of Latin America, Africa, and the South Pacific region with a contingent of refugees from the other countries. you would also have to account for survivors and those that sought shelter from the blasts, as well. all in all, the majority of those that go in the ships aren't likely to be a group from specific continents as a lot of survivors and refugees have to be accounted for.

 

in the end, we're going to have to come to a concensus as to what happens during the devastating war in order to truely decided what happens on who is chosen.

[starmark2k]

in the end, we're going to have to come to a concensus as to what happens during the devastating war in order to truely decided what happens on who is chosen.

 

You have hit the nail on the head... We probably should discuss our futures history after these questions have been answered. This is because if we decide the Evolution question's answer is Enginnering we may say that the Genetic engineering happened before or during the war.

 

Also I haven't got any more questions for a third round so i expect the history discussion may only take 3 or days so we may move on to phase 2 next weekend. If you do have any more questions please PM me before wednesday so i can determine if they should be answered now or can wait.

[starmark2k]

Looking at the votes and presuming we won’t have more than a couple of people vote, there’s no point in leaving it until tomorrow as it won’t change the vote.

 

So from the results we have a couple of draws and some that make me think we should merge the options. I’ll go into a little bit of detail on how things work so we all know. If you have a better idea for how something should work or notice that I’ve done something wrong like defied a law of physics (Obviously it’s sci-fi so give me a bit of leeway on this).

 

Weapons of the colonies

Guns in the future are split into four different types Standard, Rail, Pulse and Laser.

 

Standard Guns use gunpowder and air pressure to propel a solid metal bullet or shell, (this technology has only improved a little the same Between now and then) This weapon will not work in a vacuum. Comes in handgun and turret form.

 

Rail Guns or Mag-Rail, Work in a similar way to Standard guns but instead of Gunpowder and pressure thee ‘bullet’ is shot down a magnetic rail and to produce inertia force to propel the bullet or shell. This weapon can be fired in a vacuum. Comes in handgun and turret form.

 

Pulse Guns or Mag-pulse (Sometimes named a pulsar) creates and launches a magnetic shot, Unlike the Rail gun it requires no Ammo and just fires a ball of solid magnetic energy. Weapon also creates an EMP that can disable electronics. Comes in handgun and Turret form

 

Laser Technology is only a few years old since it was discovered on one of the colonies. Because of the complexity of firing a pulse of concentrated energy the weapons are Large and have to be mounted on Vehicles or platforms. The weapon is only generally used by militaries and can fire a blast more power efficient but as destructive as a standard ship to ship missile. Only in turret form.

 

Hyperspace

 

Hyper-Gates Technology is the safest way to travel faster than light in the galaxy. It works by having to Gates, a Jump gate and a break Gate. The Jump gate propels a ship through a loop into a Hyperspace lane, the lane is surrounded in an energy field that Causes a Inertia forces to drop down to zero allowing the ship hull to hold its integrity when travelling at the high speeds. At the other end of the lane is the Brake Gate, This Rapidly slows the ship down before the ship exits lane so the ship doesn’t disintegrate on exit.

 

Hyperspace allows ship to travel at high speed by creating an artificial wormhole in space. The Ship Leaves ‘real’ space and ‘jumps’ into a different level of space, Hyperspace is hazardous and is full of hyperspace storms that are devastating enough to destroy anything that comes in contact with it.

 

Future’s history

 

Ok here’s my idea on our futures history, I’m basing it slightly on recent events in North Korea… This is not what I think will happen It’s just an idea.

 

Note: I don’t hate nor have any bias towards the far eastern cultures… It just seems that if a nuclear was to happen it would be between Countries like China and north Korea against North America and Europe.

 

In the year 2085 North Korea has an arsenal of nuclear weapons and Relations between North Korea and China begins to grow.

In 2087 China secretly begins to genetically engineer it’s troops, in direct violation of the UN Laws.

In 2090 US agents Expose China’s Experiments and the UN tell them to stop and Fine the Nation, China refuse both order.

In 2091 A NATO blockade is set up around China, nothing leaves or enters the country for 2 years. This sends the entire world into an economic crisis.

In 2093 North Korea moves south and begins to take control, they threaten to send nuclear weapons into India and Pakistan if any one tries to stop them. The North takes full control of Korea.

In 2102 The U.S.A and the U.K Move into Tibet and the former South Korea in order to liberate these areas. The Chinese and Koreans declare war with the US and UK.

2105 European, Middle Eastern and other countries join the war and every continent in the world falls into chaos. The U.N collapses.

2140 The U.S.A launch the first nuclear weapon of the war in to North Korea, they retaliate by attacking India and Pakistan. Nuclear War comes to its fullest With Attacks and retaliation of nuclear strikes continuously happen for a whole year.

2141 With Billions dead, Pease is finally declared after the Nclear holocaust as heavy losses have been felt on both sides.

2142 Because of the Environmental effects caused by the nuclear war scientist predict the planet will become uninhabitable within 150 years. The Nations unite in the creation of four colony ships each to hold a million Citizen. Ship construction begins in Canada, France, Russia (Siberia) and Brazil.

2202 The ships are completed and filled with citizen all over the world, they launch.

 

We’ll work out the rest later. If you’d rather have something else As a time line or any other ‘facts I’ve done here please. Also mutation and Engineering drew but I think these will be colony sensitive so we’ll leave them until phase 2. Which I’ll try to start on Saturday.

 

Please give feedback on these things, Positive or negative, as it is a community RP and not just my brainchild.

[Jedi Atomic]

I like the timeline and have nothing to add to it, and I have no complaints.

 

Looks good Star

[Maverick5770]

It looks good to me. One question/suggestion will earth ever be able to be repopulated, or have we forever wrecked it?

[starmark2k]

It looks good to me. One question/suggestion will earth ever be able to be repopulated, or have we forever wrecked it?

 

Well the simple answer is that they wouldn't know as they left the world behind and never went back. However we could have a legend/rumour that those who were left behind on Earth have survived to the modern day and continue to live there, but all official records state that all life on the planet earth had died out almost 1500 years ago. We can also say no one will ever find out as the coordinates have been loss as it was considered useless information in the early stages of developed and wiped from all records.

 

Again thats my opinion if you have somthing better let me know.

[stingerhs]

that could work rather well, actually. and i also like the idea of perhaps these people accidentally rediscovering Earth or perhaps something a bit more sinister....
