OK seems the others dont seem to own one mothership...(thanks Rai for reminding me ;D) ok lets just put it this way simply(since we'll be modifiying it anyway if there's trouble) Those people who dont own their own warships can ride along with another one's warship or if either you can go there along yourselves without a battleship! The rules as follows: -People who dont have motherships can still go to their destination given that the Unit they are using can GO and travel in that place. Ex. you can't go to side7 if youre using a Land Battle type gundam(isnt it obvious?) but you can if youre using Wing Gundam...etc...(units that can go anywere without any hassles of putting modules or booster packs) - To the battleship captains/owners you can only put at least 10 units inside a Mothership class ship, those waships that are Super Huge class can support up to 20 Units and finally Planet Size class can Support up to 30 Units (all things said here are just for the beginning since modifications can be made in future happenings and also since in the beginning there arent going to be super huge class and planet size ships anyway, hmmm... maybe halfway around  ...) -Another good thing is when you have 2 or more warships or in a base. Units can be exchanged or placed in the other warship or in the base, thus giving leaders the tactical choice of units they wanna bring with them if ever there are different routes which will seperate the ships in a seperate battle scenario. As for the NPC's people here can use them either in dialogue scenes and such to speed up the process rather than having the owners themselves do the only scripting, though yes they own and claim them so those willing to converse with them ask the person who has them ok. JNK> you're needed ok Kira> prepare for this... Aslan> i'll PM you about this then... with all the hassles outdone expect the first episode in a few days or so... Ganbaremasu! |

also as an added treat there will be skill points to attain in each episodes which will either give you guys more PC's and UP's or a special appearance of a new ally so be aware.

Okay, being a big roleplay fan, I'm going to put in my two cents into this project..
On paper, it looks good. The idea's got promise and it looks like you thought things out a bit.
The bad news? You're thinking big.. maybe a bit too big.
Not to put you down or anything, but I've already seen you try to put together a couple big events such as this, only to see it go nowhere.. and knowing how little free time you and most other Fire Bombers members have (seeing how the faction has a nasty habit of proning out of matches), I'm not sure if this will get much farther.
Because of this, I'm a little skeptical how this is going to work out, if it even gets off the ground at all.. not to mention you're likely going to have to get mod approval to put together something on quite a grand scale into motion.
A few questions you should probably ask yourself before you keep going much further..
- How will a typical mission (say, the first) flow out?
- How many people do you expect/want to join this event?
- How many enemies will the players be facing against?
- Do you have the time to DM that many enemies? If not, who will you get to help DM the campaign?
- How many 'missions' will this campaign last?
- Is this too similar to what Tristan's already doing?
Now, don't get me wrong.. it'd be neat to see this succeed, but I'm a little skeptical, with such a grandiose premise.. I probably won't be joining on the first mission, and will instead sit back and wait and see how the first mission plays out before I make any sort of commitment to hopping on board. However, if this does play out well, I'll be sure to join up.. I've got the cast of Mazinger-Z, Godmars, and a very interesting crew of originals to throw into the mix.. whichever one would fit the part of the campaign best.

Good suggestion there tilus! now to answer the questions asked...
I didnt want this one just myself to be on the work which is why im asking help from those either most of the time online and could spend sharing their ideas. About the online going, im mostly online everyday now with exception of sundays since sometimes i couldnt go online due because my family goes out to relax somewhere...
ok lets go with the other questions...
- How will a typical mission (say, the first) flow out?
A- Mostly the missions will be more or less battle encounters with exception of some special's(Ex. defending the base, escorting ships and cargoes etc...)
- How many people do you expect/want to join this event?
A- Not much only those who are interested in RPing mostly. Though if the number increases then thats a good sign and should therefore be made considerations
- How many enemies will the players be facing against?
A- Enemies... many... though not to worry since most of them wont last long given the amount of PC's they have with exception of special enemies of course.
- Do you have the time to DM that many enemies? If not, who will you get to help DM the campaign?
A- I can DM though of course i need a helping hand since i dont have a complete info with all the other series in and a helping hand would very much help and speed up the process as well so i think i'll be chosing different people with different timeslots to help accomodate the speed and the effectiveness(like having someone mod for the morning, afternoon, evening and late night)
- How many 'missions' will this campaign last?
A- Good question... i think we'll be sticking it with 7 Episode's so far since that way it will be a speedy journey and will thus have another extension episode if all goes well and everyone likes it.
- Is this too similar to what Tristan's already doing?
A- Kinda yes... though in tristan's terms we'll all be starting in a couple of gespesnts with your originals with only a few stats which progresses, this time around we'll be using the current situation of your characters in the SCW for a more easier approach.
(though i really like what tristan has in mind and i will support his cause if he really does continue that)
whew! anyways any other comments, ideas to share/help pls post ahead

Dang! i almost forgot... Deployment rules... and Episodes Each episodes is divided into a series of scenes to accomodate more people and for faster turn rate, there is also deployment rules to follow each scene, one good thing is that if there are only 5 units allowed yet the mothership contains 6 units, if one of the 5 deployed units returns back to the warship they could be replaced by the remaining other unit inside the ship which gives the chance for other players to participate in battle as well(and also an annoying tactic used by enemies going in and out, which leaves you the choice of destroying the enemy mothership) |

yeah thats the thing that I do to obtain enemy units and sell em in GGeneration F so what happens if a mothership gets destroyed will the players go paralyzed too?
and the limit whats the limit of players deployed in each scenario?
what if we are using Gundam dress-ups what hissatsu are prohibited?
and since this event has a long story line...I suggest that we could change mechs so that we wont be stuck in 1 mech til the end of the Event or present a line up of what mechs are we gonna use from the beggining up to the end of the event (so that we could change mechs as the Real Characters of the Series do...)

If Big Fire (as a faction) is in this, then you should make them one of the bad guys.

rai> another good thing there...
-battleships are repairable after the scene(thus is destroyed only the remaining units gets to fight), even if your ship was destroyed, units can still move on their own, the bad part is that the battleship captain losses half of his/her UP's, PC's gained for reckless battleship management penalty. (those UP's and PC's gained in that scene only not all so he could still gather more stuff)
-as i told you guys there are rules in bringing mechs per scene/episode, plus you guys can change mechs in the intermission as long as you RP those units that you have with and as long as your battleship can support the number of units. also because enemies will stay balanced with the players units so that no overpowering may occur
Berrik>I dunno berrik, though that would likely cause a commotion, though your opinion is quite interesting... maybe we need to talk more about that.
more ideas and suggestions post ahead...
though really im waiting for the Mods to give their Go sign so this can start-up though i dont think we could start this right up due to the various SC modifications and events happenning.

And you thought this event died out... nope it aint! and still repushing this. so far the VS lockdown has been removed thanks to the gundam fight though, i think this could wait till the gundam fight is over so there will be no intervening with the upcoming campaign... anyways i hope this goes smoothly ;D
