R.A.P.I.E.R.


Thought this needed a fresh start. One to see who's still interested. Two, to see if there are any others interested.

Ok after some deliberation last night it was agreed that we should drop the Dimension Hopping angle and focus instead on the Search and Rescue/Locate and Destroy concept that Pointless originally envisioned.

Think of them as a curious hybrid of SHIELD and Thunderbirds (only with automatic weapons!). Funded and ultimately controlled by the US Army, assigned to patrolling the skies above Paragon in their flightsuits, monitoring the radio channels and satellite uplinks from their vast airborne base known simply as "The Carrier".

Also, had thought today. Perhaps instead of having Alpha, Bravo and Charlie etc squads maybe we could have internal sections named after bladed weapons? I'm thinking maybe "Stiletto" for Special Ops/Wetworks, Saber for "General Infantry", Claymore for Heavy Weapons support, possibly Scimitar. And "Dagger" for Recon.

What do you guys think?

I'm still in for R.A.P.I.E.R and Pious is gone for now. Hopefully he'll be back when whatever happenings get settled. I haven't been on as much recently as my reliable PC and my new laptop are both toasted which means I got my old Athlon 1.4Ghz to work with and it only just runs City; load times are atrocious though.

So I'm still here but shadowed.

With regards to the concept change: I don't think we need to change it too much as the sudden loss of soldiers would no doubt shock the top-brass into investigating and re-evaluation (something to RP, the investigation). Knowing what they know about the Rikti they might want to focus on local matters instead.

Could just be me, but that kinda sounds more complicated than it needs to be. Then again, maybe not.
(Note to self, take a look at the Permissions for each rank when I get in from work tomorrow.) :\

[/ QUOTE ]Actually it does as it would mean having to decide who exactly fits into each category and why someone who wants to, can't. Not that it couldn't be used but not for the group rankings.

S'all good, like I said they were just ideas

Oh I don't want to change the concept, just fine tune it a little. Don't think we'd need to lose soldiers, all I'm thinking is the Dimensional Incursion spin is a bit fuzzy.

*pokes thread*

Following a discussion earlier between Redsight, CB and myself, among others, an idea on a new uniform going off Redsight's suggestions (But -only- an idea so far):

Clicky

Torso is Armored > Flack Jacket > Camo (3rd grey after black/Black)
Legs are Pants > Camo (Same)
Boots are Work (Black)

Headgear would be optional, and I'd assume gloves could be too.

I did mention the problem of those with Power Armour etc, and I think it's safe to say those with it wouldn't need to reduce themselves to this in a mish. >.>

Hey folks, i'm very much still up for this, But I've realised this isn't the direction i want to go with Raven. i've also been a bit quiet recently been busy so whenever i got on the computer i've just been rushing playing tbh.

I'm rather easy with what direction we go in, although i did enjoy Pious' vision - lets hope we can keep this breathing. A giant force isn't needed surely ?

Yeah I'd hate to see this die too....but it's looking kinda stale. I'm the only one who's been on with their RAPIER toon in the last week (that I've seen at least).

Yeah I understand that, I'm focusing on hitting 50 with Trace anyway so I've postponed all my other toons/alts/concepts.

I think it would be a good idea to discuss here - or in game where and what we want to do with this when we all have chance ?

I'm listening

Tell you what can you get on Ingame ?

I've been busy with my alts and lack of decent running PC. My play time is cut back a bit and I've been roping in other RP stuff (imagine having 36 characters that you want to give a proper backstory before the extra slots went live).

I've got Democracy up to level 10 and am still interested in being part of the SG, but I may be net-less soon FOR A WHILE as I'm planning to move and have been levelling other characters (Altitis? Me? No... *tries to hide seventy characters* )


The Purple Party Pagan of Paragon

Globals: @Morgana Fiolett / @Genevieve Moore

Right, in an effort to rework R.A.P.I.E.R we pretty much came up with this ingame:

* Staying militaristic, but going with the privately-funded route rather than the US Army. I have one -possible- idea for where that funding could come from.
* "Thunderbirds + The Authority - campness - most of the dimension-hopping", basically, which would mean less universe-hopping (Less 'Stargate' as someone put it) and more action on CoX-Earth.
* Any Origin, Any AT, Any Powersets
* They'd still use a flying carrier to get about, and I've redone the whole base in an effort to get it looking like the innards of a ship, but it's still in progress and it needs more Prestige.
* Redsight's idea: The comms system would be handled by a mutant with the "power to generate and manipulate transmissions and signalling information"

That's most I could pull from the logs before my eyes started to hurt... am I missing anything? >.> <.<

Not sure Emily would go with a non government sponsored program. If it's someone who's strongly tied to them then possibly.

The rest sounds good though!
