[SWd20]Off on the Rim OOC(Full)

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Ho boy. It's starting to look more and more likely that we'll disintegrate before any adventures actually start- good luck, Ankh-Morpork guard, and better you than me....

Don't make me force all of you to be afraid of pointless things so I can gain control! I'll do it! I'll add a Paranoia(small woodland creatures) and Painful Fear(furnature) skills!! That'll keep you in line!

Thing is, it's mostly in fun IC-ly, as well as OOC-ly. Lance doesn't kill for small benefits, or even large monetary gain; he does his job, and protects himself. If his job involves putting holes in people, that's fine by him, but he's not really that selfish a person. Prideful, and prone to slightly blind obedience ("I was just following orders"), but not selfish.

"Fear will keep the systems in line- fear of this battlestation."

"The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers."

Ahem. Daos proboably won't hurt anyone (edit: anyone important) unless they start something or actively insult him. Verbal abuse of those he doesn't respect (and, fortunately for all concerned, he proboably respects Lance as a warrior), but not actual violence.

Speaking of verbal abuse....

"Why couldn't the Alderaani make a com call?"

"He kept on breaking up."

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Ahh, but I'm not Tarkin...I'm the GM. I control the world this time. Bwahahahahaha!

...and besides, if you guys start killing each other, a random furry creature or other object OF CONTROL can appear.

And don't tempt me. I might do it.

What's up with you people?? At this point I'm not even sure why I took the time to write a back story as I think no one took the time to read it.

*Slams head into wall repeatedly*

There is plenty of ways for him to have his TIE fighter flight suit; my back-story is simply one such example. One person is being given a ship I don't see how my request for my old flight suit is insane, or even "unrealistic". Yes wearing it planet side would probably be insane, and not something I would do, but if it also performs many function like being able to use it in external repairs of a ship in the voids of space, and that’s not something my guy would just dispatch of even if it was kept around for nothing more than the monetary value.


Also the OOC IC comments have gotten out of hand, it's my fault it started in the first place, but lets start acting civilized, okay?

Calm yourself. You can have your toy, Little Bear. If a TIE fighter actually has a suit, rather than a mask attached to the fighter itself (I was never clear on that issue), then it would have been easy for you to have filed the serial numbers off, swapped some parts around to break up the profile, and use it as an EVA suit. It won't be worth anything in combat (the Empire wouldn't have included any armor features in a flight suit, given that they didn't in the fighter itself), but it'll be just the thing for short spacewalks.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

I misread your backstory the first go around, so there's part of the problem. Re-reading it...yes, TECHNICALLY you would have it. I would think the Rebels would take it and capturing and interrogating you to all hell...though sometimes, you never know.
The reason I'm allowing you guys to have a ship is because its really something that can be majorly important and a bunch of cut-throats like you guys need one.
Hmm...well, the flight suit technically doesn't have much use and you would be insane to wear it unless you HAD to. I don't like the idea of giving things away based on character background though...so I'm torn on this.

EDIT: Ack, just thought about something. TIEs DON'T have ejection systems...I know this doesn't matter to your backstory, but the only reason that there was a 'flight suit' was for breathing purposes. Its actually built mostly into the chestplate and helmet more than any kind of 'suit'...

I think your making contradictions right their. Don't try to ridicule me and expect me to stay calm about it. So knock it off, deal?

Well let me clarify for you then.

A) Watch a "New Hope", close to the end Darth Vader tells to black garbed people in full flight suits to fallow him, those are your normal every day TIE fighter pilot, though probably of high on the experience chart. I know their normal pilots as their flying TIE fighters and nothing special like the TIE Advance that Darth Vader is flying.

B) Read the TIE fighter spacecraft entry in the Core rulebook (Revised is on pg. 228) in their you will learn that TIE figther are made cheaply and do not have "Shields, Hyperdrives, or life support- not even cockpit gravity."

If that's not enough.

c) Armored Flight Suit, (Revised pg 138) Note that it says worn by the Imperial TIE fighter pilots and that it provides protection from a vacuum.

point prove?

It won't be worth anything in combat (the Empire wouldn't have included any armor features in a flight suit, given that they didn't in the fighter itself), but it'll be just the thing for short spacewalks.

Read "C" again.

The rebellion was always looking for more pilots so I'm not sure how brutal it would have been. They also would have been looking for equipment so it's really up to you.

The reason I'm allowing you guys to have a ship is because its really something that can be majorly important and a bunch of cut-throats like you guys need one.

I agree, Kit hasn't ask for a ship type yet, and I do not have my Starship of the galexy yet so I have no suggestions, what do you think?

Hmm...well, the flight suit technically doesn't have much use and you would be insane to wear it unless you HAD to. I don't like the idea of giving things away based on character background though...so I'm torn on this.

Then sinmply don't give it to me.

It got to protect against the void of space, it's as much as a suit as NASA's suits are, and it also has to provide a full atmosphere to keep the body warm. Any part of your skin being exposed to space should be enough to kill you, at least in real life. (Change in pressure and what not.)

....Go ahead and take it. In all truthfullness, the TIE flight suits are just a big helmet, a chest plate with buttons and flashing lights, and a light but(most likely) protective material. Really basic.

Something that costs 4000 credits is hardly basic, and for that I'm going to withdraw my request, that in my mind is too much to give someone and not others.
