Any one wanna do a serious Rp with me?

[Fenox Helkiin]

The setting would be science fiction and yes it is more then likely, knowing my history with serious RPs, get dark in terms of the storyline and obviously yes to the gore.

I'd like to have it set on a large ship, for example the size of the US, and maybe have it make a crash landing at some point onto a planet the size of our sun.
Let me know if you'd be interested or not down below and any ideas you have for it.

[BennyJackdaw]

I suppose I could join an RP while I'm here. Willing to let me be part of the RP?

[Fenox Helkiin]

Yeah sure. Once it's been set up I'll post it, with a title, in the serious RP board. :p

[Angder]

The scientist in me cringes at the idea of a planet the size of a sun (which I am 99% certain would cause all kinds of problems if we are going to land on it), might I recommend, if the plot allows, a dyson sphere or similar instead, it would necessitate an intelligent alien race constructing it but it would be more believable.

Obviously if the plot does not involve aliens that does not work 


yes, I am interested, space is awsome, and I like things with a darker edge.

Oooooooh! Gore and stuff! Fun!

And here's a thing, if you want a bunch of people on a ship, it doesn't need to be as big as the U.S. For example, a modern Nimitz class aircraft carrier has a compliment of about 3,200. And that isn't including the Air compliment (which is about 2,480). So it would be feasible that an even bigger, more complicated ship would hold onto the tens of thousands, maybe even a hundred.

Anyways, what's gonna be the tech? Guns, or plasma?

This is probably my favorite part of scifi, the military.

And how come my RP's never work? *grumble*

[Fenox Helkiin]

No idea Naismith.

I'm thinking plasma rifles and rail guns.

The story will have one main bad guy.... My old sona (Aakor Tigaris). Oh and one main bad supernatural being which, if anyone knows me well, shall be fairly easy to take a guess at by the little hints I'll make as the story goes.

Okay maybe a ship the size of the UK then? I mean this ship is meant to be cable of traveling from one galaxy to another, fighting all manors of creatures and other ships, hold years and years worth of supplies and be able to house huge training simulations that you actually move around in and not just plug yourself into a machine or computer.

[Ryan Naismith]

hmm... well, maybe the size of fort hood, about 870 square kilometers, and lets say about twenty stories high (which is about 66 meters). so that'd be roughly 57420 cubic kilometers. which is a lot of space. Keep in mind, a good amount of this is dedicated to steel, or whatever bulkhead your dudes use. I think 57,420 square kilometers is enough.

[Fenox Helkiin]

Alright. I'm thinking titanium and maybeh a dark matter engine?
(Kinda like captain harlock's ship from space pirates)

[Ryan Naismith]

I don't see why not. And since this is such a massive ship, It would need to carry massive amounts of propellant, and then you need more propellant to carry the more propellant, etc. so, we could operate off of a n asymmetric Casimir force To, in effect, sail across the void of space.

[Fenox Helkiin]

...you do know that a dark matter engine would work in a similar way to a nuclear engine right?

[Ryan Naismith]

Yes but the problem is that that would require something to eject out of the thruster, with terrestrial jet engines, this is air, of which there is a near inexhaustible supply of. In the void of space, there is nothing. So, a spaceship would require more and more fuel to eject. In a "nuclear engine" a working fluid, usually liquid hydrogen, is heated to a high temperature in a nuclear reactor, and then expands through a rocket nozzle to create thrust.
Which requires liquid hydrogen to be ejected out of a rocket nozzle.
An asymmetric Casimir sail Would not require any fuel to eject put a nozzle, so if one were feasible, it would be perfect for long distance, long duration space travel.

[Fenox Helkiin]

Naismith... It's a scifi. Logic isn't entirely necessary.

[Angder]

also, forgive me if I am wrong, but once your spaceship is moving, you dont need to keep the engines on once your in space, momentum will keep you moving until something stops you, and in your own words  In the void of space, there is nothing.

[Fenox Helkiin]

^ this is true.

[Ryan Naismith]

but still, There is that problem when you DO need to move it.
