And speak of how the first voyage ended in complete and utter failure before it even left Wintreath space?

Well we would make something up to that extent, yeah, I suppose.  Sort of a pilot that we can refer to later in the RP and such?  I dunno...

Eh...

We could also not and start afresh.  I guess.

I just feel like we could make a better story if we start fresh rather than making the first voyage end in failure.

I'm up for either.

Well it wouldn't be "end in a failure" really.  Just like other things "off camera" implied if you will, maybe a quick write-up on what happened, etc.

I see. We could write that the trip to the station ended in a lot of casualties and forced the ship to turn back for more crewmen.

Ahh.  I suppose I was thinking something with a bit more of a flair for the dramatic.  Something like sacrificing the ship and being forced to use the escape pods to land on the planet, and stuff like that.  Then we get a "new ship" for a new expedition some years later after the immediate space surrounding Wintreath is secure and stuff.  If that makes sense.  Maybe that's too dramatic though...

That's too much to write and makes a lot of assumptions...

Perhaps the unknown is the best answer. Maybe the crew successfully resolved the incident at the border, and went on their way, but was never heard from again.

Ooh I like the unknown idea!!

I have problems with that though.

1. An event like that would cause a delay in the deployment of another ship. We're talking several years or more as people try to figure out what happened, what went wrong, and how to prevent it from happening again.

2. This will no longer be the first expedition. It's always more dramatic when it's the first expedition.

3. I won't have my brilliant engineer character anymore...

I think if we keep some of the same characters, then we should also keep this ship as it's supposed to be like state of the art, right? Plus the whole delay thing Aragonn said. I suppose that leads me to a question:

@Commander_Zemas , since you're not hosting this RP anymore, are you still wanting to be the captain? Because that would probably affect things quite a bit.

I need to know what the plan is here. If there's no plan to revamp this RP, I'm archiving it.
