Looks good to start with. In past RPs that I've been a part of when starting out we always had a simple way to check characters. You post a profile. That's step one, but after posting a profile you still can't do a first RP post until after someone else in the RP comments on that character that it looks fine. This can be…

Just got on the game to take a look and it seems 23c Starfleet character creation is limited to Human Andorian Tellarite and Vulcan.... A bit more limited than I was hoping. It doesn't affect my ability to create the character I wanted too but I can see it being off-putting to some people who might otherwise be interested…

While I'm not a stickler for keeping things 100% canon I do want to be a part of a RP that is at least show friendly in tone. Think of it as group fanfiction writing from my POV only done in the moment and not planned out like a fanfic. (there are several things that separate RP from Fan Fiction but I'm using it as an…
-
On a side note that I forgot to mention. If we do do TOS we can have the Temporal Agents thing happen either after graduation or before. The way I understand it temporal agents are recruited by selection people who show potential and then die in a way that leaves no body and at the moment of death they are recruited and…

I have been looking at info about the upcoming expansion and I have discovered a few things. Not that it was hard to find out I just watched the latest trailer lol. Agents of Yesterday will indeed involve Temper Agents. So if we do set the Academy in the TOS time-line it will eventually cross over into the future…

I think we need to take an official vote on which timeline the RP will take place in. http://www.strawpoll.me/10531746

1/4 betazoid, 1/4 bajoran, 1/2 human.... My main concern about stuff like this is that it isn't really an option in the game itself. I imagine that you can create a human character and just have that information in the bio but I want to just mention my concerns here to make them known. I think all characters should be…
-
So here are my answers to my questions and a few more to help people think about the RP. Sorry for the long post. 1) New characters Yes/No? I will be making a new character for this RP. I'm not saying everyone has to make a new character but I will be making a new character. I do recommend new characters for many or the…
-
Looks like this idea has been saved! On a side note Agents of Yesterday comes out July 6. If this RP happens I will be making a new character for it regardless of what anyone else decides to do. So I think July 6 would be a good day to start posting character profiles for this RP. If we don't RP in the TOS timeline the…

So looks like right now we have 3 people (including me) and with some comments made it looks more like 2.5 people than 3. I'll still check back here from time to time but it doesn't look like this is happening at least not yet. Going to be busy with watching E3 and doing some other stuff this week but I'll probably check…
-
Okay that's fine. I might wait a bit longer than this weekend to make any decisions about this idea then to give anyone who sees it there a chance to reply. Right now it looks like we have 3 people [including me] which is one short of my minimum goal. But that being said I think I'll go ahead and ask some fairly basic…

I have considered making a fleet. As the forum RP moves into Game RP I'd like to make a fleet in-game with the original RP cast of 4-6 being the officers as the fleet is opened up to attract members to form a larger RP cast. Hopefully during the forum RP we'd get to know each other as a group well enough to know who is…
-
The first idea was to start with a long forum RP to establish characters and go through the academy while making new charters in the game that at first would exist simply to establish character appearance. Then over time close to academy graduation we would play the first mission only make the prologue tutorial a new…
-
Agents of Yesterday looks like it could provide the perfect opportunity for starting a RP either similar to this one or an entire new concept. Since the expansion relies on making new characters it's the perfect time to start a fresh new RP. Thoughts? ideas?
-
Anywho, feel free to make suggestion here or PM me with suggestions for chat programs or RP ideas etc.
-
It was just an idea if people say no thanks then we won't do voice chat. I can understand not wanting to use voice chat and not everyone has a headset or microphone so it wasn't really a serious suggestion just me thinking out loud... or in text rather. I recently started a YouTube channel so I'm always looking for content…
-
I use Discord but I'm open to using anything as long as it's free. I've also had the idea of everyone using something like OBS to record Cadet Logs / Captain's Logs to post on youtube or daily motion or another vid site and posting links into the RP thread for this once a thread is started. Another idea is to maybe even…
-
Mine is as well I was always planning on this being a slow RP one or two nights a week for an hour or two once we get to the ingame part and before that the academy RP would take place on the forums or using a chat program like skype or discord. Give or take depending on how scheduling works out etc. I probably have more…
-
Well the point of this RP is to RP out the backstory to start fresh at the academy and while we will also be creating backstories for our characters lives pre-academy we will be RPing young characters around the age of 18 or 19 (or their species equivalent of collage age) If you want to RP an existing older character you…
-
Not dead but on hold until there are more people interested. I'd like to start the RP with a group of between 3 to 6 players if possible... We could always move on to the character creation phase of the RP and get ready to start with just 2 people while hoping someone new or someone who posted back when I first made this…
-
I'm curious on what anyone's views on using the in game Voice Chat is, or a voice chat program. Personally I feel that voice chat RP really breaks immersion at times especially when the voice doesn't match the character either due to RPing certain alien species or even RPing as the opposite gender (which I find to be an…

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7E7C337BD21FEC39 vids of the old Starfleet Academy video game. Could be a place to get some RP ideas. It's where I got the idea for Cadet logs. Well I had the idea before watching the vids but it made me sure I liked the idea.
-
It's a plan. I'm CST so just an hour ahead of you. My work schedule can be a bit crazy so from one day to the next it can change though I'm almost always free after 4 my time. and I'm free all day most days. Advantage of working freelance I set my own hours most days though sometimes I have to schedule things at odd times.…
-
P.S. Forge content can be very useful for this RP, if someone makes content great, but there is also so much content already made that there is sure to be some good stuff to use for RP missions. And if any members have other characters they can use them to preview forge content before suggesting it as a RP scenario.
-
This sounds pretty close to my original idea if I'm reading this right. The plan was to make new characters and not even do the tutorial mission until after we get to the end of the academy part of the RP since the tutorial covers the end of academy training moving into the first assignment as XO then Captain. Of course…
-
Well the original plan for this was to spend several months RPing the Starfleet Academy part on the forums before even moving into ingame RP. I don't know how many people are still interested in this idea. We would need at least one person wanting to RP as an instructor to RP any classes, though the Academy RP could be…
-
I had an idea like this that I posted a year ago and am trying to restart. My post is here http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline/#/discussion/1165867/role-playing-fleet-and-fan-fiction-community-proposal-ooc-discussion-thread feel free to look it over and post any ideas you want to on my thread. Or we can move…
-
Well it's been a year since I made this post and while I appreciate the responses I have gotten I do admit that I was hoping for more. I do admit that I haven't done much to promote the idea so it's really my fault that this idea hasn't taken off yet. The past year has been kinda crazy for me IRL and it's still kinda crazy…
-
I'm putting the finishing touches on my character profile. It isn't long but I haven't had a lot of time to work on it and some things like thinking up names for other characters mentioned in a back-story can cause major writer's block. In addition to working on that I'm trying to come up with a format for the Starfleet…
-
I agree a good character profile back-story should be brief and just outline a few key events in the character's past. There is such a thing as too much information. That's why this RP will have multiple threads and might even branch out to places outside these forums. The main academy RP will be done here in the Captain's…
