Who would like to create a future RP? It would be character-based as opposed to nation-based.
This is the premise that Rommy and I have established so far, for consideration:
What we need to figure out is the composition of this crew and, for now, the first adventure they will be embarking on. In addition to the barest complement required to run a starship (captain, executive officer, bridge crew, engineering, marine complement), there will probably be a fair few scientists and other smart people.
As for the initial scenario, it might involve the crew's first experience in FTL, exploring a nearby star system (Alpha Centauri, Sirius, Barnard's Star). Perhaps they find a long-lost human colony that left on a sub-FTL colony ship years ago. Perhaps they discover evidence of an ancient alien race. Perhaps the long-lost humans are being oppressed by the Goa'uld? Who knows.
This is the premise that Rommy and I have established so far, for consideration:
- The Solar System is governed by a system-wide single government. This government is a form of confederation, with distinct nations still in existence.
- Humanity has access to relatively advanced technology, including spaceships, however they have never before been able to achieve faster-than-light travel.
- An FTL project, years in the making, has finally produced a working FTL drive.
- Humanity sends out its first FTL-capable exploratory/research project with a small crew (around 15 or so). The RP centers around this crew.
