Well, I've never been much of an RPer, but I've been meaning to start getting into RP. I've looked up some basic RP 101 stuff, and I hope I'm not too terrible at it. I guess this could be a start for me. The hardest part for me is coming up with a good character in the first place.There are plenty of people here in the Guild who can guide you in the creation of a character. You need only ask. :D
And will rules and guidelines be posted when this starts? Or are the rules something this thread is intended to decide?I believe this thread is intended to be an open discussion for everyone to talk about every aspect of this potential roleplay. BraveSirRobin will have to clarify on that though.
I think HKR-47 would still be around.I'd love to know how you'd pull that off.

He must first have survived the event that killed the first voyage then found a way back for the repairs.I think HKR-47 would still be around.I'd love to know how you'd pull that off.
Hes a robot. So long as there are replacement parts, he'll be there.
Well, it seems to me like we have 3 choices for what happened to the last expedition:Hmm, the first two options kinda remind me of a story I've been following over on /r/HFY, Missing in Action (https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/wiki/ref/universes/jenkinsverse). Would certainly be interesting, and would (the second option especially) provide some plot direction.
1. The last ship and crew lost all contact with Wintreath-controlled space and are presumed dead. Cue conspiracy theories on what happened to them. The next generation's mission could be to explore again and try to find the last ship and crew if possible.
2. The last expedition ended in failure with the ship irreparably damaged/destroyed but some of the crew saved (possibly by TNG?) using an emergency beacon, either from an escape pod, the wreckage of the ship, stuck on a planet, etc. TNG's mission could just be to explore past where the last expedition ended (and possibly save the survivors of the old crew and find out what happened). If TNG saves the old crew, then we decide what happened: hostile species, disease from planet/new species, asteroid field crash/space anomaly disaster, mutiny, etc.
3. The last expedition ended in success with knowledge of habitable planets and possibly new species (or even some inter-species government -- Mass Effect's Citadel/Council, anyone? -- depending on how sci-fi we want to go). Depending on how far in the future from the last expedition, Wintreath could have expanded its control of space, and TNG's mission is to continue to explore to find more planets (or perform some mission for the inter-species government).
Thoughts or other ideas?
Ooh humans being OP? That's a really cool concept actually!HFY in general is a fairly refreshing spot in the bleakness of mainstream sci-fi. I highly recommend reading the Jenkinsverse, and its main series, The Deathworlders, in particular; it's just good writing.
Or if this RP has stasis technology...HAHAHAHAHA!!!! :D
?Or if this RP has stasis technology...HAHAHAHAHA!!!! :D
Oh sorry. Thought it was a joke, because early on the fact that there was stasis tech was a big deal in the RP. I guess I assumed that was common knowledge :o?Or if this RP has stasis technology...HAHAHAHAHA!!!! :D
Yeah, I probably could've phrased it better.Oh sorry. Thought it was a joke, because early on the fact that there was stasis tech was a big deal in the RP. I guess I assumed that was common knowledge :o?Or if this RP has stasis technology...HAHAHAHAHA!!!! :D
Yeah, definitely true. I was just talking along humour lines. Realistically, nah, probably no sort of stasis stuff, as unfortunate as that may be for plot expediency :/It really depends on the technology they have. Many stories that I've read have stasis pods as the norm, given that rescue in deep space could take an indefinitely long time.
Can't wait for this Next Generation of our space expeditions. I like the possibility of meeting some of our old characters, and finding what happened to Wintreath's first attempt. Also, I wonder what happened to the old captain...He died going down with his ship, as any good captain should.

-Are we part of a greater organization like in Star Trek, or are we on our own like in Firefly? This is a question that needs to be answered.
Also, whooooo! 100k posts!We were saving that for Wintermoot :(
