Star Trek: Ascendant - OOC

[knightemplar]

On the Lounge, I was thinking of having a retired crewman run it and name it like White Dwarf or something like that. So it would be still a ship bar, but have a couple of people paid to run it without having them be normal ship personnel. I would still have to figure out their personalities though. Kind of how like Guinan was the bartender but not ever issued a uniform or a rank.

I will look at the pictures Black rat and grab them. Go ahead and write them up and I will post them up on the Ascendant thread.

Okay... Along with his interest on alien lifeforms, I imagined Dr. Crescent to be a collector of bladed weapons from alien cultures, mostly received as gifts from persons he has befriended in the past. So if it's ok, here's a description for his office:

The CMO's office shows the peculiar interests of Dr. Crescent. Contrary to his pasifistic nature the walls are decorated with an assortment of bladed weapons from various cultures. You can spot at least a Klingon Bat'leth, an Andorian Ushaan-tor and a Vulcan Lirpa among others. All neatly hanging on the walls or in stands.

This sounds good. I take it the Ascendant falls into the "Explorer" class of ship that is the mainstay of the Fleet? That is, ship's where Star Fleet personnel have their families aboard, and their are civilians as well as Star Fleet on board the ship.

Rhun - Since your main base will probably be Starbase 39-Sierra, you could have family stay there. If you wanted your family to come aboard, that wouldn't be a problem. But the ship will cross the Explorer and Dreadnought lines, so there will be a few battles.

If the borg come through, you will be the first line of defense. If your wife was also a starfleet officer assigned to the Ascendant, they would probably let you bring your children along.

Not to mention, always more npcs for me to play with.

Blackrat - Description added to the Ascendant thread. Do you just collect the various weapons or do you learn how to use them? Garyh's character is not bad with the Andorian weapons like the Chakra, and the npc science officer Sharl Shranim will be found with various holoprograms practicing her talents with the Andorian weapons.


Sorry I have been lagging lately, but I have been doing a lot of work lately.

NP on the lagging the timing has been good for me as I am a nice, fun, super great guy it is hard for me to come up with the grumpness I need to play Benson.

No probs on the lag... I enjoy slow pace myself.

As for the weapons, no, I think Crescent is just a collector. He might know which part to hold on to on the various weapons, but otherwise he's no warrior. He just considers weaponry to be one of the most curious facets of cultural expression and for that reason collects them from various alien cultures.

Not so worried about all that...Hale is single. And suddenly quite attracted to an Orion Lieutenant.

I was just wondering if we were looking at at a situation like the Enterprise (with lots of families on board) or the Defiant (which generally had no civilians on board). Sounds like we are in between.

Hey all! I'm going on vacation for a week. I'll be bringing my laptop and the hotel has wifi, but I'm still likely to be on significantly less anyway. Don't feel like you have to wait too long for me if my turn comes up!

Have fun gary!
