I hope it looks good parked! We can have barbecues in there if we can't fly it. Maybe convert it into a novelty hotel :D
I'm super excited about the pretty unique approach to multiplayer this presents. I can't wait to get a full crew going. I know this ship pretty well and there's a large amount not covered in this tour.
I couldn't believe it. I assumed it was a Bengal. I was staggered when he started talking about the idris stats. Absolutely phenomenal.
Aye. Definitely need more crew. Alternatively just get every single community member signed up to SC.

If this game continues developing in this way, I don't think it will be hard to find recruits. It's whether can get them all online at once. Crewing this ship could require collaborating with other orgs.
I really wanted to see the bridge. And my captains quarters :D
I still need to pick an XO, too. Or I could extend my quarters into theirs and install a bar and billiard table.
I have to admit. You're probably right. I worry because over my gaming years I've rarely seen a group come together like this one does. Certainly with the right amount of maturity, and for the level of teamwork required for an idris.
Well, there's no rush to crew it. We all have our own agendas for the game so we're all pretty eager to fly our own fleet first. Once we've met some other people we like and trust, maybe we give it a try.
Or we crew it ourselves! Let's stay positive!
Well if aloud I would love to be a crew member aslong as you don't mind having one of my ships in your docking bays lol .it sounds like amazing that you can do this, a massive ship with a group full of people operating it
The more the merrier, RT. And if you have any friends who you would like to join us for some adventures, ask them to come along and say "Hi" - we need lots of people for this game! :)
...thanks for allowing me to join this is one of the main reasons I love the look of this game is the fact that it's not just I run the ship but we run the ship. I love how it's all teamwork to get the ship working to the best of its ability, sadly I don't have anyone who has this yet as I used to play with a. Very small group of people before I found this group :) and glad I did find this group haha
The guys Eugene Morrow reminds me of Sulky...
RogueTaylor: Team work and fun is the name of the game around here. I must admit though, I can imagine that the only reasons the kind Obsydian and JustinTolerable would let us anywhere near their toys is the Life Time Insurance :devil:
Speaking from my own ships though, we desperately need to work together to field these things. If the stats and supposition are anything to go by, we're looking at about 20 PC's to fully crew an Idris. The largest of my crewed ships will be 5 - I think that will be hard enough.

I wanted it noted now my name is not Roger and I not being the cabin boy.

And my name's not 'Bates' and I'm certainly not a Master.
Although I am planning on rolling a character called Smilodon Staynes and my rank will be Seaman

Didn't I tell you to scrub the bulkheads? Don't

How would keel-hauling work?

It might involve an asteroid belt.

Kill me...kill me now!

I vote for Keel-hauling as method of death :)

Seconded.
Wow gland to see I brought some life back to this thread but it seems to be the night life I have brought back, I don't mind working as a team but it seems you lot have got a lot of this "teamwork " down already so while your all " helping each other out"I will have a scout around the area in my ship thanks. When you need me back and have finished with each other let me know.

No No No you will be included whether you like it or not mate we have played games with each other for many years so our banter is a bit more lively and the only way to be part of it really is to join in. So you will join in and you will be part of the team.
Now do we pull Obsydian round or fire him a out a missile tube and then pull him back in?
fair enough then lol i am new so will just go with it lol bit worries about what you all do at then lans since you been playing together for years now haha.
I'm calling Shotgun for when we first fly this bad boy/girl into Sol.
edit: Now I never played 40man Raids in WoW but everyone had a role to play, and most would agree that all the roles were fun. I'm not really sure how that's going to work on an 80 personned ship. Not even sure how that will work on a 5 person ship. The game will have to do something pretty specially to make this a fun experience.
I don't ever want to be on toilet duties... those are the wrong kind of ships :(
Presumably you don't mean 'into Sol'.....

This we have to do this

I say go there but let's not crash into it lol or at least let me just out so I can watch the explosion ;)

I've not been here as long as some. I've gotta say, i've rarely met such a bunch of non-judgemental people that won't be overly harsh if you're not as good as others, and won't hesitate to help you. But BrotherTobius is right. The banter is awesome :D

I know this is a brilliant group I have only been here a really short while but have enjoyed it, I enjoy talking to you all and getting killed by you all ( for now ;) )
Wow ! Totally missed this, sign me up ! I'll donate my Super Hornet to sit on the deck if required.... actually getting into a Cap Ship battle with 20+ people manning that will be incredible if they pull it off !

I don't think you're going to struggle with getting a job on one of these bad boys. I'm not expecting to be able to fly it often, so when we do it needs to be entertaining.
All the most entertaining games are the ones where nobody knows what they are doing, so inexperience is a must. I have LTI so I plan on ending each session with a tremendously huge explosion, as we ram bigger and bigger targets. On the off-chance that we can get a regular game going where we can crew a mission over multiple sessions, our objective should be something where the odds of survival in the long run are remote at best - but the rewards great if we can pull it off. I'm thinking we 'explore' vanduul space or take over our own station, etc :)
I've been trying to explain this game to one of my long term gaming buddies, she's an MMO vet' and is a social animal, she loves multi player orientated gameplay, once SC is more feature rich i'll drag her along, but i was trying to explain earlier to her what we may get up to in the Org' and came up with the comparison that we are effectively making our own "Raids" ! Only as i was saying it did it appear what you said here was pretty much that, we are going to try and get 30 ish people together, 20 to man one seriously huge ship, another 10 as fighter and bomber escorts and say... "today we will retake Station X from the Vanduul !" .... if CIG pull this off we could be in for an Epic Ride :yahoo:
