Alright. I know double posting is frowned apon, but I need to kick this to the top of the stack. Anyway, my character is up. If it's not suitable, or needs work, tell me and I'll change it.

Mmm? Definitely still interested. Also means I'm in two campaigns at once. Fun!

My character is also up, and if you think anything needs work, refitting, modification, or just won't work well, or any suggestions, feel free to say!

Okay, I'm keeping the discussion here for higher visibility.

New characters look fine. Strange that your name was already taken, e.

We're gonna have to call a poll on the ship. Incidentally, I don't have a picture of the Eclipse because I'm much better at writing ships up than drawing them. But I'll shortly have a scanner, so maybe I can get you a sketch or something "soon".

If I count right, that leaves just PHJ voting for an Excelsior.

I'm gonna gear up to start this in the next few days. (Can I get an "Aw, yeah!" ?) If anybody wants to throw in anything else before we launch, now's the time.

(Oh, and I attempted a sketch. Didn't like it. May retry soonish.)

Hoo Yeah! Just one question:

Is the Eclipse (or whatever the actual name of the ship will be if it's not the prototype) a normal Fleet ship, or will it be SI or S31 orsomething else? We just seem a little heavy on infiltrators and security squad.

Yes, but the Eclipse has a ring drive. And then we'd have to be careful not to screw with canon or explain how it had been retrofitted somehow. It's just easier.

Is the Eclipse an actual on-screen class (or even off-screen), or is a fan design?

Designed by this fan right here.

The Eclipse is - ostensibly - a normal fleet design. The fact that it's a bit heavy on the security measures stems from a rational analysis of previous mission profiles, i.e. we're not gonna have aliens run roughshed on the ship every week. It's my way of trying to work around some TV oddities that just don't work for a game.

On the other hand, it *was* designed to be easily adaptible to intelligence missions. In the world after Nemesis, the Federation has just been screwed with one time too many. That doesn't mean that they're fundamentally different, just more...careful. And in some respects, it openly flies in the face of previous policy, just to show flag. It's largely a "What works, what doesn't" look at Federation ship design.

As for you guys, your little tactical team doesn't come standard with the class. The way I have it pegged right now, you're specifically assembled for a mission - and your success will hopefully prove that you're worth keeping around.

Hmmm. So esensielly, it's a delicate situation in interpower relations, and we're a high-skill squad with something to prove being sent out to stop a situations that could destabalize the fragile peace?

Aditionally, when do we start, and will I need speciel software to do this? This is my first time doing this kind of thing, both on- and off-line, and I just want to make sure I know how it will work.

I suppose this Eclipse will do then, though I don't see what's wrong with a blinged up Excelsior. We could have 18-inch rims, a massive spoiler, chrome trim, the works! :P

Since it's decided, I will post the start today or tomorrow.

You don't need anything beyond your ability to post at 15MF.

Behold, the result of non-existant drawing skills that have lain dormant for years.
