The Corusca OOC

[Loco]

I would like to apply to be a medic on the Corusca. Landon Keyys is my character and I have him as a medic.

Welcome aboard! Since Ral and Jhon have a tendency to cause unnecessary explosions, it seems like a good idea for us to have a Medic on hand.



Now some housekeeping stuff:

1.) I've gotten more than a few requests to join the crew over the last few days, and I'm definitely open to participation. That said, I won't be adding anyone to our roster until they become an active participant, since several of our original members who expressed interest in joining (who I added to the roster) have since disappeared without taking part in any of our efforts. I'd also like to get more group discussion going here in the OOC, since I sometimes lose track of my PM/VMs (unless it is a private question, and then by all means). Bottom line, make yourself an active participant.

2.) On the subject of messages,; despite appearances sometimes I do have a lot going on IRL, so if you send me a message or ask me a question (on any medium) and you don't receive an answer within a day or two then feel free to bug me until you get a response. I'm usually pretty good, but I do have a bad habit of waking up in the middle of the night and checking my messages and then forgetting about it by morning.

3.) I am always open to mission ideas, so if you have one it would be helpful to write it up in the traditional "mission" format we use and either post it here or PM it to me for consideration. I'd like to get together a "mission book" for myself that I can pull from in addition to us completing posted Rebel missions.

5.) If anyone wants to write up a deck plan for the Corusca it would be very helpful to me. I'd also still appreciate some help formatting the opening post and making it prettier and easier to expand.

6.) I'm going to pursue some changes soon that will hopefully allow us to have a bit more flexibility in the way we take on missions, and would allow us to support a slightly larger PC crew. More to follow.

7.) Finally, if anyone thinks they can photoshop this in place of the Rebel insignia on our picture of the Corusca, and/or otherwise alter the picture to give it some flair then you'll earn yourself a "get-out-of-latrine-duty-free" card:

*EDIT: I probably should have resized that 0.o

Hey that happened ONE time! Well... maybe 2, but it was completely necessary with that mynock queen. Besides... Jhon tossed the detonator.

1) Sounds good to me. At least we're popular, though. Haha. Maybe we can do a mission where we take some of the prospects and make sure they're active and wanna join?

3) I think I'll have to go look up some old SW: X-Wing missions.

4) No 4?

5) I might do the deck plan, it's something I like to do... unfortunately there's a lot of detail lacking on the ship's description, which I guess might be a good thing. I might have a few questions though.

6) Awesome, can't wait to see what these are.

Great! This all sounds awesome. Other than my first character I'd say my rebel guy is probably my favorite? I always try to come up with great ideas on missions, it's just I remember someone saying that the Rebels are kind of out there and stuck with Red Tape via OOC. So I would love to learn more about the types of missions that we would go on. I am eager to start RP'ING for the rebels and see some change in the galaxy.

I'm working on a mission for the crew right now that would provide the perfect opportunity for you to join up! As far as red tape goes, it's mostly only because we've been trying to avoid direct conflict with the Empire, which has disappointed some members. I'm happy to report that we've had a steady increase of activity recently though that I hope we can continue.



Now, I need a pilot other than Forim. Any takers? Bron, maybe you'd like to get Ceres involved?

So, I've been thinking about some missions we could run as a crew, and I was wondering how a capture or kill mission against an Imperial spy on Naboo sounds? I don't know if it's really within our mission parameters, but maybe doing the espionage section before following it up with a special forces assault to capture the spy would be fun. I don't know if that's something we can realistically do, but it would be a fun face-paced thread and it would also be a "stick it to the Empire" kind of mission people have been itching for. Just a thought I had.

 

[Cainhurst Crow]

How about a mission where we basically have someone from the imperial side of things who through either defection, greed, bad personal choices, or a combination of all, ends up with a mighty big bounty on their head and cut off from imperial forces. Basically thinking of a war criminal with maybe a few intelligence reports, some blueprints, or perhaps even shipping maps for outlining imperial patrol and supply routes and schedules. We go after this guy, along with a few others outside parties, bag the goodies, decided if we want to kill the imperial, and have it be a nice introduction for new characters if possible.

Naboo may not like Jhon's styl of corvert operastions. Hee hee

Perhaps it could tie in to the current rebel prison break mission?

I would like to do those sorts of missions, but since they involve disrupting Imperial operations they are the sort that need inter-faction coordination and stamps of approval. That's why most of the missions we've done so far are relegated to pirates or neutral governments. Hopefully following Konstantines defection and Sisk's rescue, along with the signing of the Alliance declaration will allow us to start hitting these sorts of missions in the near future.

I kinda figured something like that would be the case. On that topic would raiding a shipment of bacta also need to get cleared with the Imperium? I know they control Thyferra, but I'm not sure if they've subsidized the production and shipment of bacta. Either way it's another mission idea for after the rescue op.

Now, as far as ship repairs, I'm not sure if we're planning on doing this, but why not a mission where we offer to protect a planet or maybe a shipment from a rival faction and in payment they give us some of the parts we need? Like a new Hyperdrive or some weapons?

That is a good point. Oh well, if not imperial, we could always go with the other route of going after "Imperial Sympathizers", puppet governments or people who side with the empire but aren't strictly part of it. Provides a comparable comparison to fighting the empire without actually fighting the empire.

Will the Rebellion ever claim a planet as it's own? That way we could gain some territory?

Tatooine, Geonosis, Ryloth, Ord Pardron are all Rebel planets.

 

[Murdock]

okay, I've just wondered that, on the galactic map I never see Rebel planets. Also I haven't seen a lot of new info on the Rebel thread.

 

[Minuteman75]

As for me I very much like with the idea of us rebels going after pro-Imperial elements who are not exactly part of the Empire as Bronitarian suggested. It would make our fights more fresh comapre to fighting pirates all the time. We could go take on terrorist groups as well.

Really?
Ord Pardron, Smuggler's Run and Utapau are all marked.

 

[Murdock]

Oh my bad. I had the page saved for awhile but I've never been able to see it updated. Thanks! Never mind for my question!

I don't know if this happens to anyone else but when I click on the map it's all small and blurry. I cant make anything out.

 

[Cortan]

To be technical, those planets are technically not Rebel controlled, but either are allied or the Rebels have bases there. Or in other words, they don't run them, but have resources there.

Speaking of: There's always the Sullust mission pack, which would have the planet ally with the Rebellion if completed. The existing start thread for that has sadly died, so you guys are free to tackle it if you want.

 

[Ral]

::D:

Heyyyyyy! I like it. We should totally do it. Also, I'd just like to say actually declaring control on a planet would be kinda stupid because the Empire would hear about it and be like "hey, that planet, it has rebels, let's kill them."
