I believe this board needs to be resurrected. RP here has declined and I feel it needs to make a come back. Other than Sith and Jedi battles. We could get some Imperial and Rebel battles going. I may not have been here that long but in my old RPing days the Empire and the Alliance were great for RPing and I miss that. Perhaps if I could get a role call of ever Rebel. We could try to get the ball rolling again.

While I agree with you, there seems to be a cycle: Fleet RPing dies, big names take unannounced vacations, newcomers restart Fleet RPing, big names return, people become bored. Soil thoroughly, then repeat.

If we can get Fleet RPing to an acceptable level, where people aren't slamming biblical-sized fleets into each other in a contest of "I've got more ships, loser!", then it's quite possible to rejuvenate Fleet RPing.

Fleet RPing. It's all fun and games 'til someone brings a Death Star, then it becomes a massacre.

I don't see much trouble with fleet RPing as long as people agree to have equal forces or opportunities to have victory. As for big names they should inform the people they are RPing with that they will be gone. Speaking of which, who wants to have a major space battle? No super weapons. Ship no more powerful than a super star destroyer and one flag-capital ship. Will do this like a sort of test and see if it's suitable fleet type battling. So who's in? I am obviously. Force users, Rebels and Imperials welcome.

It should be tried at least. I see no reason fleeting has to suck.

I think the main problem is that competition and "I GONNA WIN!!!!!11111" plus lack of common sense tends to blurt fleeting.

Try fleetign from a character driven perspective. It's not easy, but I reckon it would work.

Lion El' Jonson
Nov 24th, 2003, 07:42:25 AM
Indeed, as Mr. Marcus suggests, it works much better when done from a character driven perspective. This allows for much greater detail, as well as giving focus to the RP. I think this is one reason why starfighter RPing has always been more detailed than Capital Ship RPing.

Telan Desaria is quite good at working from that perspective. I'd suggest looking up a couple of his old fleet RPs. I'll consider joining your RP: If this gets RPing back on its feet...:D

As for your Death Star analogy...beautifully done, I couldn't have put it better myself. :lol

Lion El' Jonson
Nov 25th, 2003, 04:24:11 AM
I'm not sure. We don't want this fight to have any huge effects on the balance of power (yet), but I think we can think of something that'll entice others to join.

To get this started, we'll need to try and limit the number of people that join. I don't think we want too many people from either faction in this RP, otherwise it gets confusing and people begin to feel left out.

Marcus Telcontar
Nov 25th, 2003, 04:41:19 AM
I dont really feel we should be trying to unbalance the the balance of power. That leads to competition. What we should do is say have a end we all want to work to (say.... a planet invasion). After we agree on that and what resources we have to work with, then we can work out how each of us RP's and how we can fit shit together. I'm a rather lengthy writer, with a mind that likes to throw in surprises and tricks, with some humour, I can be quite unintentionally intimidating with the sheer volume of words.

what we should be aiming for is not to win lose but to write well. What should happen is that we should be commenting on how well we're posting, not whos winning.

Lion El' Jonson
Nov 25th, 2003, 08:01:00 AM
Everything Marcus says is true. The true purpose here is to have fun, regardless if we win or lose. As for his sheer volume of words...well, that's no overstatement, Mr.Marcus' posts tend to be immense. I don't mind, though, because they're always well written, and the sheer amount of stuff in them provides plenty of places for a follow-up post to tack onto. (Okay, that was horribly worded...sue me...:lol)

A planetary invasion would be quite cool to do...as long as it stays in space. In the time I've been here, a joint space/ground op never goes as planned. I think the only one that ever got running was the Dagobah Invasion, a long long time ago in...this galaxy.

Depending on whether the New Republic is invading or defending, the number of ships we bring into combat will vary. If we're assaulting the planet, it may call for a pair of powerful MC-90 cruisers. If we're on defense, however, and the Imperial Forces decide to nail a relatively low-priority system (say, Pantolomin maybe?), the New Republic's response may be limited to a pair of Nebulon-B Frigates and a couple squadrons of starfighters.

I don't actually mind RPing with numerically inferior forces, as it gives me a much greater level of detail to play in. Just RPing with a single starfighter squadron can produce an immense amount of stuff to work with in your posts. Smaller armies may be forced into a style of Guerilla Combat, which I think would be pretty cool to RP.

TieFighterPilot181st
Nov 25th, 2003, 01:38:48 PM
Well I agree with the numerical thing for the most part. But wouldn't you need some large fleet battles during major campaigns where large fleets square off. Im not saying that should happen every time, but once in a while.

A space station under construction would suit the needs of what we want to do. Where would have to be put to a discussion and a current map of the galaxy based on what has happened on these boards. Another thing would be when. Do we want this post RotJ like in the X-WING series or during the NJO series?

Lion El' Jonson
Nov 25th, 2003, 04:36:51 PM
I'm not really sure about when this should take place. Technically, the current timeframe here at SWFans is 50 years after the Battle of Endor, which is a while after the NJO Books. However, lots of people play with the timeline a bit, so there's not really an established time here. The problem is, playing with the timeline so much that we get to the NJO timeline means that my character would be...around 10 years old. :lol Also, we have to take into account that by the NJO Series (and the Specter of the Past Duology) the Empire's strength was extremely diminished, and they probably would not launch an attack on the New Republic...especially after they signed that peace treaty.

We might need to rethink the timeline. However, I think the space station idea is great. It's a good reason to have a couple of defenses in the sector, provides a tempting lure (for instance, once this station was online the user could monitor the region's ship movements...which is not good for the opposing side), and it's also a centralized objective. Additionally, I think that we could RP out a bit of ground troop action in this scenario: A couple squads of stormtroopers or commandos boarding the station would be easy to RP, and small enough to allow for detail.

Nice to see you here, Tie. :D

Well lets try to work out the timeline thing first. That effects the location of where this is going to take place and the technology involved. This would be so much easier if there was a database of everything Star Wars here.

Lets try to get some more Imperials in this discussion. I know Telan has posted. (Come back we need you Imperial)

We really need to plan this so as we can work out the bugs of galactic unbalance-ing-ness-ish-ism (I needed to think of something that made a little sence.)

Im not really a fleet guy although ive had my share of watching and participating in fleet battles on other forums.

My previous forum Fleet battles were nearly as popular and as well done as normal rp'ing. Mainly due to the fact that the people doing the roleplaying were all sensible, realistic roleplayers with a good base of knowledge on what their tech could and couldnt do.

One problem of fleet roleplaying is the guy that doesnt want to lose. who does? but sometiems people do. The guy who will have one gunship vs. An imperial Star destroyer going, My ship dazzles your fighters in an array of superb , lightening fast manuevers allowing me to release a missle salvo into your bridge. your dead kthx.

When realistically if the gunship managed to someway..somehow get by the squadrans of fighters hed be ripped to shreds when he got in range of the destroyer.

Realism and sensible damage is what helps feelt rp'ing become succesful.

Takes an effort on both sides to compromise.

Rebel's Sayin a squadran of bombers just made a run launching their payload of proton torpedos against your destroyer.

Both sides can sit down ooc/ n go over numbers so many torpedos for bomber against the interception/defensive abilitys of the destroyer. = 20% dmg. Both sides agree or barter the dmg.

Empire roleplays the dmg taken and their counter.

That ways pleasing for both sides but very time consuming..with people being on at different times and such.


That could be by passed by mature, sensible rp'ers though :p

(p.s Tchort,Danik and me would wipe your ground forces into pasty stains under ours boots.:rolleyes )

Thrown in with common sense and fair play is all we need. Fleeting here has had a bad lack of it. what we should be capable of doing is deciding for ourselves what damagae an attack did, that is agreeable to the attacker. Now, in fights, that can be done. why not fleets?

If we get rid of the overbearing need to pwn the other side and just work on somethign enjoyable, then we both come out winners.

Also, we dont just have to limit to fleets and ground forces. diplomatic battles can be involving too.

Field Marshal Tchort, Supreme Commander of the Imperial Army.

I'd love to do something like this. Empire vs Rebels again, that would be awesome. After all its what Star Wars is really all about. ;)

The Empires ground forces have been massively upgraded and are at peak condition, their best since Endor.

I'd say some strategically important system becomes a target for Rebel or Imperial incursion and it turns into a big melee as neither side wants this system to be captured....
In the stars, the Imperial and Rebel fleets do battle while rival ground forces fight viciously for possession of said system.

No one necessarily has to win either, not every battle is a clear cut victory or defeat. So say the Rebels keep the system but it is rendered unimportant by all the damage and such from the Imperial attack?

So say the system of Bestine, on the Corellian trade spine?

All ideas so far but I'm totally in for this.

It's hard being a one man army with no one to give pointers. That was when I was a rookie fleet RPer. I was panacing. Anywho, I learned a valuable lesson. Don't ram. I did have the crew evacuate though.

Now back to the discussion at hand.

I think we have an agreement on this engagement. Now to plan out what where gonna do.

What forces will be involved?(Number of ship and troops)
Whats the location?(System and Planet, Space station or ground base)
What forces will be the first to be at the location?(Defence or offence)

Time out :) Vis actually had a point. ESB and the Thrawn books worked because of the way it was about characters, not about big things going bang. Oh, there were big things going bang, but it was a support for the story.

And I think I have an idea straight out of left field. Try this out.

Not long ago, the NR and Imps banded together to kick the Vong out of the Galaxy, leavign behind a NR and Imps that were weak - the NR has once again expanded to huge size politically, but not militarily. The Imps are small and factionalised., but do have some fighting capability.

That's what the summary is today. Onwards.

On the edge of known space, there is a planet, lets call it Katmandoo. It is a planet where the last great battle occured between the Vong and the combined NR and Imps. It was ruinous for both sides, the Vong were wiped out, the NR and Imp armies shattered, the fleets rendered dead or destroyed. There are very few survivors, who have banded together to try to survive and hope for resuce.

One of them is a survivor of a SSD destroyed. He seems to be of high rank. But he's pitching in to help build a transmitter.

One of the NR survivors is an intel officer who has a suspicion who this survivor is. He managed to th get another transmitter working and sends a message to the NR on Kuat.

Now, wouldnt the Imps and NR want to find otu what's goign on? Wouldnt they send say a expedition fleet each?

and wouldnt Grand Admiral Viscera be a top line prize to develop a battle around? You thne have a much more personal fleet Rp set up, that would have all sorts of possibilities, with no real need for a battle winner.

I can think of all sorts of fun and games to be had in such a senario.

Hmm, I'm glad people are finally giving this a chance and all sides are being realistic and reasonable. Star Wars is fun because of the fleets and stuff, thats one of the reasons i stopped roleplaying when it all collasped. Well I wont be coming back, but I'll try to give some opinions here and there if no one minds. And personally I dont think I was ever about who won but the stuff that happened during it, at least thats how i saw myself.

The best thing to do is play TIE Fighter, Xwing, XvT, or Xwing Alliance. Especially "Alliance". Those games were never about huge fleet battles, it was always small little skirmishes, different type of missions, tactical strikes, and not always winning the scenerio. Especially in Xwing Alliance where they had a more developed story with characters going on, and a reason.

If you roleplay with that mindset, of just a few capital ships, freighters, and the fighter squadrons doing all the work, it prevents these big confrontations with unreasonable amounts of ships. Work in boarding teams, planetary strikes, and other guerilla style playing and it can be really fun.

Anyways good luck.

What I'd like to see eventually though is like a well thought through campaign by either side with a series of battles all linked together eventually. That way it wont just be a bunch of random skirmishes. Wars arent won by winning random battles, rather accomplishing strategic goals. For the sake of fun its ok that we have some random skirmishes that you can just dip in and out of but i think we should organize a campaign between 2 or more factions.

Excellent idea, Charley.

However, shouldn't we try and get a preliminary fleet RP done first, just to find out if it will work or not? I think something very small, that can easily be entered and exited and that doesn't affect the balance of power should be used just to test out this character driven style.

After that, we jump into Charley's idea. Actually, the thing we use to try out charcter-driven RPing could be a preliminary to the Ciz/NR war, kind of like the prologue/training missions in Warcraft III with the Orcs. :lol

The Empire will stick its nose in at an appropriate time replete with ruthless action and total situational exploitation - it's what we do.

Two Imperial V-class Star Destroyers (top of the line baddies descended from our Endor-era friends) is all we'll need. With common sense in effect, she can take on several corvettes and expect victory - and we'll get one.

Remember, Tie...small battlegroups. We want this focused more on the captain than on who has the most guns.

And Telan, though I really don't mind if you bring two of your Star Destroyers into this, I need to pose the question...In its rather diminished state, would the Imperial Factions really devote two of their most powerful warships to investigating a freighter? :lol In the Hand of Thrawn Duology, I remember that it was a significant devotion of resources when Disra ordered 3 of his Star Destroyers on long-term missions. Maybe we should change the ship in question from a freighter to something more valuable, such as a passenger liner in distress carrying a New Republic Senator, or something.

alright Ill make my group one defender star destroyer one MC-90 and 3 gunships. The backround will be a yach or passenger liner carrying a NR dignitary is attacked or something? Tell me if thats not agreeable.

whoops - I lost track of what we were doing.

To investigate a freightor, depending on its allegiance, whatever ship was in the vacinity. Let me think....

One Hunter-class Frigate

I designed it elsewhere.

The only Cizerack ships that are regularly equipped with hyperdrive are the Korri battlegalleons, each the size of a V-class SD. I'll probably tone it down to one of those, plus the Trade Federation starship, and three Techno Union rocketships.

Look at all this metal - and I'm only sending one patrol frigate. Imperial Valour is, though, legendary.

Send at least a couple more ships Desaria, we want small groups but not that small we want to work out the bugs from multiple ship RPs too. My group will only be one Defender Star Destroyer and 3 gunships. We'll go with Desaria's idea of the Hunter class frigate somewhere.

No you won't - that's an Imperial-only vessel, and is fresh of the line never captured. Hahaha!!!

Two Hunters and one Hammer-class Light Cruiser

OK since the fleet will be that large the target needs to be something desurving. Say a experamental New Republic Vessel. nothing crazy just say a test bed for a new propultion system or shielding system or such. It runs into a mishap and is damaged beyond repair. The crew has abandonded her and sent out a signal asking for help. We can say the Defender Class SD and its escorts were a support group for the ship and can be sent in to retrieve data from the ship and set scuttle charges. This gets ground forces involved since they will have to go in and set the charges and get the data. Along comes the rest of the forces who knew about the vessel through there spy networks and just so happened to have ships in the area. It isnt about the ships now its about getting the survivors and retrieveing the data. This would give it the character base fell we are looking for. Just an idea, but a freighter would not warant a star destroyers attention.

Lion was on a tour of the Naval Base at Ragrine when the distress call arrived. The vast majority of Task Force Implacable was undergoing minor servicing at or around the low-orbit docks. This light cruiser and that gunship were the biggest, closest things in any shape to move immediately. Lion likes to take a personal interest in things like these; often he'll use the mission as an opportunity to scout out promotion material.
