Attention fighter pilots!

[Kelly Perris]

As some of you out there may have noticed, myself and my partner in crime, Jaden Luka, have started up some fighter RP again, along with what seems to be the reappearance of some fleet RP. Any of those who have fighter characters (whether Rebel or Imperial) are welcome to harrass either of us and join in on the fun. I myself head Rogue Squadron, Luka deals with Valkyrie squadron.

Fresh blood for the cause is also not discouraged. In this area, at least for Rogue squadron, you are welcome to create a character, or pick up an NPC name and build the character to your tastes - details such as callsign can be altered if you like - from the horribly underfinished Rogue Squadron wiki or the Rebel Alliance wiki, seeing as I've not finished moving things around. I'll get to putting more into wiki-ing soon enough, honest. :D

I can't really speak wholly for other squadrons, but I'm sure nobody would be adverse to this.

[Jaden Luka]

Just to expand on that a little...

Not only are there spaces in the Rogue (X-Wing) and Valkyrie (A-Wing) Squadrons, but there is obviously the option of running your own Squadron as well, if you'd like a bit of free-reign to develop your pilot and an army of NPCs, or if you'd rather be flying a different class of fighter.

The Rogues are obviously an elite X-Wing unit, but the Valkyries are a little more niche: they're currently stationed aboard the Valiant - a ship commanded by my fleeting character (Vansen Tyree), and with my SpecForce character (Amos Iakona) aboard. At the moment they're deployed to disrupt Imperial supply lines, so the bulk of the activities they'll be involved in are hit-and-run raid missions as opposed to big fleet engagements... with the occasional exception, of course.

Currently on the board for Starfighter activities is the thread Kelly and I have going on (which is going to be a recon/raid type thing), and a rescue/retrieve mission set to follow up the Kashyyyk battle going on at the moment. If either of those piques your interest, let us know, and if you're after something else from your pilot RP I'm sure Kelly and I would love to get wrapped up in that too!

[Dasquian Belargic]

Jamo (my Rogue Squadron guy) is holding little interest for me at the minute, but I might come up with a new character to replace him :)

[Nagal Aursoni]

Shadow Eleven here, ready to take to you guys on.

[Henry McDonnaught]

I should really dust off my flight suit too. Donut is reportin' for duty ;)

[Kelly Perris]

Good to see ya, Donut. We're heading into a mission briefing in the "Raids, Rogues and Arithmetic" thread, so if you want to dust yourself off in there and join in, I have no complaints.

Jenny, we can kill off Jamo as part of the story, and that gives you space to start fresh on another pilot in whatever capacity you desire, if you want to do it that way. Your thoughts, of course, are appreciated. :)

[Henry McDonnaught]

Okeydoke.

Hey! Dont kill Jamo :(

[Kelly Perris]

*hides* It was juuuuuuuust a suggestion. And really, I'm just waiting to see what Jenny wants to do. :p

[Captain Untouchable]

Are any other Shadow pilots interested in getting involved? It should be pretty easy to factor you guys in, and it'll definately make things more fun if we get to pit the Rogues against the Shadows!

I promise not to be lecherous. Honest. :D

Donut, we'll wait a bit for you to reply before we go further in the thread. However, the waiting will not be forever, as we don't want to be caught with the 'dead thread' problem. ;)

[Henry McDonnaught]

Post done.

[Kaid Jisari]

Don't suppose there's still room for another fighter pilot for the Alliance? :)

[Kelly Perris]

Sure as heck, there is. Where would you like to be? Rogue Squadron has room in its roster. :)

[Kaid Jisari]

Rogues sounds good to me

[Kelly Perris]

Super stuff. Feel free to hit up my AIM or MSN if you want to discuss your place in the squadron. We're just heading into a breifing as well, but the breifing itself has not yet started, if you wanted to jump right into the 'action', as it were.

[Kaid Jisari]

kk. I'll hopefully be back on sometime tonight. My AIM is SatineCapashen :) Where is the briefing at?

[Kelly Perris]

It's in the "Raids, Rogues and Arithmetic" thread in the Star Wars RP section. Read up. :)

And I would check your avatar choice there. If that's Ben Browder, I believe someone already has laid claim to him...unless that's you...in which case, just ignore me, heh.

And dude, I already have you on my AIM. ;)

[Kaid Jisari]

Just making sure. :) I'm stuck at work for now so no IMs for me. And thanks for the warning. I totally spaced checking image claims. That's fixed now. :)

[Captain Untouchable]

Random question, just 'cause I'm curious - is there some significance to the ski mask (like horribly disfiguring burns, a facial disfiguration that makes you look like Ben Affleck, etc), or is your guy just embarassed because everyone else is more attractive than him?

;)

[Reshmar]

Thats a funny question coming from someone wearing a mask.

[Alpha]

To be honest, I was just gonna have him wear it out of habit, with the reason being he's just so damn pretty. :) And also, because I can't find any images of Akiba without his damned mask yet. :)

[Captain Untouchable]

Thats a funny question coming from someone wearing a mask.

Touché. :lol


Just a heads-up for y'all: I'm moving house on Friday. Its only a few doors down the street (long story), but there will be an interruption in my internet service. I'm prepping a post that will fill in the basic details of the plan, which I intend to post on Thursday.

Rebels
Any Rogues and other Rebels wanting in on this: I would really appreciate it if you could post your arrival at the briefing room in the RP thread (http://www.sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=18170) before mid-day (your time) on Thursday. Taking time zones into account, that should give me enough of my time to make any necessary tweaks to the briefing post. If you aren't going to be able to get an arrival post out by then, a quick message in this thread would be great.

Imperials
Any Imperials that want to be involved: could you state/restate your desire to participate, so I can tweak the briefing accordingly? If a lot of Shadow Squadron people want to be involved, we can go up against all of Shadow Squadron. If only a couple of you want to be involved, it shouldn't be too hard to engineer a situation that accounts for your specific characters (maybe you guys are helping to train some other pilots, or whatever). If you guys want to control some NPC Pilots as well / instead, that's cool too.

Anyone Else
If you don't fall neatly into the other two brackets, but would still like to dust off your flight suits (smugglers, pirates, bounty hunters, mercenaries, etc), please dance about waving your arms around or something, and I'll make sure there's a place to slot you in!


As I said, 1200 on Thursday (your time) at the latest, please: I may be as awesome and sexy as David Tennant, but unfortuately I don't have the ability to travel through time! ;)

[Kelly Perris]

I'm sorry, J, but David Tennant is some pretty spiffy stuff, and you'd be hard-pressed to supplant him in my head.

Rawr. :p

As for being on-topic, I'll get to posting pretty darn quick here. It's been darn busy and somewhat unpleasantly warm here, and it's not contributed to my brain working very well.

[Captain Untouchable]

You may have a point there - David Tennant is a god amongst men. Heck, with that accent of his, even I'd have trouble saying no. >_<

How about as sexy and awesome as Christopher Eccleston? Maybe a little closer to my league... :\

[Kelly Perris]

Hm. I suppose so. :lol

Ok, guys. I've posted. Whosoever takes it upon themselves to post next had better do so in short order. *shakes fist*

[Captain Untouchable]

You know, no matter how carefully you plan things, they never quite go the way you expect them to. As you may have noticed, my post never managed to materialise; fortunately I've manged to get a temporary internet thingy sorted out, so I should be able to get the post sent out, once I finish unpacking my desktop...

I hate moving house. >_<

[Kelly Perris]

I figured that was what was up.

Don't worry. People around here are patient. Sometimes. Somewhat. Kinda.

Heh...:rolleyes

[Vansen Tyree]

Between Canada Day and Independance Day, most of you guys are probably too hung over to notice anyhow, right? ;)

Reply posted. For those interested:

The planet we're heading to is Saleucami (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Saleucami). Not a particularly exciting place really: its between the Mid-Rim, the Perlemian Trade Route and Hutt Space, so it holds little tactical value for the Imps. That has allowed the Hutts and other criminal elements to gain a foothold; it isn't a million miles away from important places however, and there are patrol ships in the general vacinity to make sure the crims don't get too far out of line.

As for the "prototype fighters"... things aren't quite as simple as they seem on that front. I'll save the details for now, so it doesn't ruin the surprise. ;)

[/Untouchable]

[Nagal Aursoni]

I'm still interested in joining this. Not sure about the rest of Shadow Squadron though.

[Captain Untouchable]

^ Sent you a pm. :)

[Anne Phoenix]

Is it too late for me and my little Corvette to enter the game as a wee bit of heavy support for the Alliance squadrons? ;)

[Captain Untouchable]

Sorry that things slowed up for a patch there guys: I moved into my new house in Notts, and found it annoyingly lacking in internet. Fortunately that situation is mostly resolved, so I'm pretty much ready to get back to doing things.

I'm gonna throw up a post of our arrival in the system as soon as I finish writing it: from there we're pretty much gonna see what happens. :)
