  1. Hi, I'm curious! (Big surprise there )
    This isn't just for base builders, but for base users!
    Please feel free to fill in this questionair

    "Your base and you"


    What do you use your base for?


    How big is your base?


    What is your favourite room?


    Did you design the base, did some one else, or is it a shared effort?


    How often did your base get redesigned? Was it just for upgrades?

    What is still missing in your base?


    Can you describe your ideal base? (if yes, please do )


    Can you think of other questions?
  2. First thing you need is control and power
    control room -> Oversight room
    That one allows for a cheap combo unit.

    A workshop allows for a workbench

    On a workbench you'll be able to make a teleporter (if you have enough salvage)

    Oh, you need to collect exploration badges in SG mode to get beacons.
  3. Last night we had the first night of the Haven Novae survivors.

    Mr. Galaxy – the Aereaix – was one of the first to awaken from the stasis pods, and has been working diligently to restore what he could of the Haven Novae. Working both to revive others from their hibernation and restoring ship systems.

    Nhailo, of a floral race was among the first to be awakened. She spend most of her time outside the ship and observing what she could. She remained hidden as best she could, though.

    Ussuskino – ‘the lizard’ – stayed with the ship, protecting it from any that would pillage it.

    Teremity was recently recovered from her hibernation, no doubt her abilities with healing will help speed up the recovery of others from the deep sleep.

    He’klah Tnark – the Gelosian – was also recently awakened. The survivalist hunter would no doubt prove useful in adapting to this new world, for how ever long it might be their residence.


    With the five now awakened (a healer, hunter and warrior present), time was ripe to discuss the situation.
    The Haven Novae was severely damaged before or during the landing. Though Mr. Galaxy had managed to get some vital systems up and running.

    They decided to go out and explore, and keep an eye out for useful things.
    Mr. Galaxy and Nhailo wanted to greet the locals with friendly greetings.
    Tnark and Ussuskino felt more like capturing and interrogating one or two of them for answers. Reasoning that as the weaker ‘house’, it would be prudent to be cautious.

    In any event, they set out and explored the surroundings. No human was captured and interrogated, though. Most seemed unconcerned about the off-worlder presence however. They did come upon a group of people in matching colours playing with one of the other humans. When Mr. Galaxy greeted them, he was met with violence. Ussuskino and Tnark were more then ready for it, though and the group was quickly dispatched, even the one who ran for reinforcements. The odd manners of the one who was played with, and her words led the group to reason that the ‘red jacket clan’ was a rogue element of that world. They dispatched several groups of the Rogue Clan and received the gratitude of some of the locals.

    Looking for landmarks, the scouting group saw the Galaxy Girl statue. Tnark wondered if it was alive, his diminutive size makes a lot seem large, and he remembered the gigantic trees of some world. Luckily, it was merely a statue! They went to investigate and found the plaque, which Mr. Galaxy read after repairing a translator that Tnark had with him.

    After some speculation, they went over to an information terminal. What a splendour of information that held! Mostly just a map and arrest records…
    Instead they prompted to ask one of the locals. Over by the statue was an important looking individual. The group decided that since Mr. Galaxy looked the most like the locals, he would be the one to talk and ask the questions.

    Answers were had, some were more confusing then others. They decided to continue their scouting.

    While on their scouting, the sky turned green. Was it night? Was it something else? The siren made them jumpier then they already were. They decided to take up a defendable position. It took a while before the Rikti teleported in and the battle was upon them!
    Sadly, surprised and outnumbered, the group was eventually defeated. Ussuskino found the battle most exhilarating! Teremity the pacifist was the only one who walked away from that encounter as the others teleported to the Haven Novae’s medbay.

    And lucky they did because the Rikti soon came snooping by the ship!
    But now with a better grasp of the situation and their opponents the team held their ground against the attackers.
    Mr. Galaxy and Tnark guiding their comrades with tactical orders and using gravity and ice to keep the most dangerous opponents out of the fight. Nhailo fought to defend her group. Teremity healing where needed. Ussuskino battled with an almost berserker bloodlust.

    Tnark’s environmental suit was damaged and Teremity was getting fatigued so they went back in the ship while Mr. Galaxy, Ussuskino and Nhailo went to check out trouble in ‘Orion Beltway’

    The above is my take on the evening we had.
    Feel free to point things out that I’ve forgotten or got wrong

    Oh, to those that signed up but weren’t there…
    Please post if you still want to join or not. If we don’t hear from you by Friday, sorry but your spot will be opened for others who are interested.

    We already have an easy to use excuse: Stasis pods only just opened.
    Or come up with an other plausible reason (some have been mentioned already)

    A bind question

    I'm not sure if the AFK message can be changed

    The costume command is "cc #" where # = 0 - 4 (0 being the first costume slot)

    There's also a command to change the colour of your chat bubble.

    If the AFK message can't be changed (as that would have to make a bind in a bind, not sure it's possible) then that might be an options.

    The command would look something like:
    /bind key "cc 1$$colourcommand colourcode"
  5. So, today... 7.30ish?
    Where?

    I suggest the Galaxy City SG portal, whether we use an SG or not... it's at least a good spot to gather, no?
  6. Wow Catzzz!

    That's really great!
    I love how you're capturing the minor curves of the body to make it look realistic.
    Only minor point being that the head/neck looks a bit... unhealthy.
    Also there's little shape (other then the folds) in the skirt, but it being so short, it looks right.
    Then there's the L ... which isn't high enough and to wide to really look like an L rather then two lines connecting in a 90degree angle.

    I did expect it to be: Liberty Girl
  7. ((
    How does one get one of their own characters in the enquirer?

    I mean, it's fun that it's almost Silent Tempest exclusive, but it could be wider then that. Surely, there are others to dig up dirt on?
    ))
  8. (( That's dissmembered...
    Now if it were the Fletched Alliance... I'd be looking for the explosives confiscation report. ))
  9. The Grav Mistress has been roped in to an other publicity stunt... when will she learn to say no?
  10. I'm good for Monday evening
  11. (( Oh dear me... I've started something...
    Here's what I've got so far and it's a work in progress... ))

    Gelo is a the planet furthest from the sun and is covered in ice. Luckily, one side always faces the sun so that there is at least a somewhat habitable half of the plant. Still, the cities are underground where the people draw from the thermal energy.

    The Gelosian government is a fairly complex almost feudal hierarchy. This hierarchy is based around the holy number of 8. There are 8 underground cities, each with 8 ‘noble’ families, or Houses.
    The First Houses of each city (called Circles in some older documents or references) has a seat on the Council of Eight, with the Ruling Elder of the First City acting much like a combination of King and President.

    Gelosians are a small in height but have a high mass none the less. Most of their race have the ability to bend ice to their will, usually by touch but some even through thoughts. Gelosians are a race of hunters, not in the least as vegetation is minimal and most resources they use come from the animals they hunt.

    They craft armour and environmental suits out of the exo skeleton of one of the insectoid creatures that inhabit the world to better protect themselves from the harsh environment, as well as other environments.

    Their tools and weapons are simple by comparison, mostly because the cold makes most moving parts reliant tools prone to failure due to freezing. Relying there for more on strength and leverage to get the job done. This created a mindset promoting simple reliability of intricate efficiency.

    Oh yes, I'll get there eventually, and when I do finally get to that next stage the base will be so flush with energy and control I'll be able to add anything I want for the foreseeable future.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Not really...
    Sure, power aplenty with with the main unit for the smallest base plot.
    But it is the Control that'll be the main drain on your Prestige...
  13. Given that the ship is the Haven Novae, I take it it's just one ship that's made it to Paragon City (or even Earth) at this time (could be the first, or the only one... oooh plot potential? )

    The reason why only 8 make it on what I assume is a seed/colony/evacuation ship... would be explained as a crash... perhaps even a (partial) break up in the atmosphere (which would allow for other groups elsewhere for plot reasons?)

    Also makes for a reason why 'we' stay, where as some might find more hospitable habitat on other planets.



    PS... does some one else ponder an ice themed character for this?
    If so, would make sense to be of similar race?
  14. Different ships? Then I'd say a day or two after... but what draws us together? - prearanged coordinates or something else?

    Same ship... then emerging from the wreckage? (sp?)


    Would we be the 'supers' of our race, or just normal for our race on Earth?
    Assuming we weren't the only ones evacuated... where are the others... though, if like Superman, we are the 'only one'(s) then... why us?

    Just some random thought that popped up as I'm about to head off to work... see you!
  15. So far, this is what I gathered about the OOC/Game side of this:

    1.Spectral_Ent - Grav/Kin controller
    2.Leprechaun - MA/Inv Scrapper
    3.Feyth
    4.Chaos Bunny
    5.Silver Eagle
    6.Gorbaz - stone/stone tanker
    7.Shut_Down - Warshade
    8.ShadowGhost

    --------
    Reserves:
    Hatesman


    Personally, I'm contemplating a few ATs... Defender, Tanker or Controller...
    So, depending on what other people would like to play, I can alter mine...
  16. Only when asked and in a nice way... or so I hear...
  17. [ QUOTE ]
    I think base raids should really only be between Heroes and Villains, or Villains and Villains - having Heroes raiding other Herroes seems a bit...wrong

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Nothing like a good friendly panty raid
  18. 7:30 - 8:00 would be a nice start time for me

    Pondering a background...
  19. I might be interested, depending on the times.

    I can't make Tuesdays.

    And for weeknights, I have a curfew of somewhere between 9 and 10.
    (Me being in The Netherlands, this makes it 10 or 11 for me, and 6am rise makes that the latest I can make)

    So, what are the target times?


    Also, might be interesting to know what AT/powers people have picked or in mind.
