<div class="IPBDescription">SpaceShip RPG</div> Ok i thought up one for me to play around with.
This is a Spaceship RPG where at first you only have a suttle Covette and £100,000. You can get more money by getting jobs, these can be things from, searching for lost treasure to escorting major supplies to outer colonies.
You ship has the 5 Main stats
Power ( More you have the better weapons you have)
Speed ( More you have the more Weapons you can fire in one round. Every 3 speed equals 1 shot.)
Manoeuvrability ( More and you can Evade well but you are also quick)
Hull ( More and you can take more damage to your hull)
Shields ( More and your Shields absorb more damage before they go)
With your Money you can buy upgrades and make your ship better. But with medium armors and onwards, you need crews to help out around the ship. These can be recruited at the local Recruiting Station where fully qualified cadets help to run the Reactor, and man the turrets. (note: the Frigate has automated Turrets)
As you do more jobs, i might add, your ranking goes up. With new ranking you can buy better Weapons. So it is a good idea to do some jobs before going out to find treasures. One last thing. If you happen to come across a planet. You could Colonise it and get a nice income. But remember, other people with bigger ships can just come along and take it from you.
There are different ship that you can have.

Frigate

Inteceptor
Class : Light Armor
Description: More of a Escorting or Fighting pirates. As 4 Forward Hardpoints with a reinforced hull.

Comments
(i will do mine to show you)
Name: Demiguise
Age: 21
Name of Ship: Valkyrie
Color:<span style='color:Black'><b>Black</b></span>
Backstory: A survivor of a terrible war waged on a planet far away. He swore that he would take revenge on the aliens and so has set himself up here to get the money for a Great Ship.
Age:29
Ship:Fallen Angel
Colour:<span style='color:green'>Green</span>
Backstory:An instinctive space pilot and a great navigator, Bill is a well travelled ex-merchantman. He has an enduring hatred of pirates, which can land him in trouble when he bites off more than he can chew.
In his youth, Bill dreamed of space. He wanted to be an explorer or a well traveled merchant or a famous pilot. This led him to focus on maths and physics at school, to the detriment of his other studies. At college Bill studied astro-navigation and applied for pilot training.
After graduating at 19, Bill found a crowded job market made it nearly impossible to get the glamourus work he dreamed of. He was forced to become a tug pilot for the local space authority, or to choose a ground based job.
For 4 years Bill worked as a tug pilot, until a freighter had an emergancy. The freighter was damaged by a pirate attack and was heading towards the planet. Bill managed a risky rescue mission which saved the freighter from distruction, and its owner from bankrupcy. As a guesture of thanks the owner allowed him to become the new co-pilot as the original pilot had been killed in the attack.
For the next 6 years he flew the freighter, first as co-pilot and then later as pilot. During this time he survived pirate attacks, near misses, and even upset corporations. All the while Bill was saving to be able to buy his own ship.
Today, he sets out as master and owner of his ship, the corvette Fallen Angel.
<span style='color:Black'><b>* Sees Bill looking at his fine ship, "hi there, nice looking ship. Standerd Corv?"</b></span>
Any way, my name's Bill Sky and I've got a bit of space experiance. Thats my own ship, the first time I have actually owned a ship.
Gah, I'm rambling! So, anyway what's your name?"</span>
btw
Can we please Enable Black on the Color list?

Name: Harken
Age:20
Name of Ship: Harbinger
Color: <span style='color:blue'>Blue</span>
Background: A ex-pirate, after his family by an accidental bombardment by the current military. Harken swore revenge on all solders. After pirating for 3 years he gave up and went solo.
*out of curiosity how much is a £ compared to a U.S. dollar. Just for clarification...
Name : Bouga
Age : 2047
Name of Ship : Von Schl?peurk
Color : <span style='color:red'>Red</span> I guess.
Backstory : Bouga is a polymorphic "gorktuk" individual , from the remote , hostile world of Zebulon IV. It was rejected by its kind after failing to imitate the winter dance of the carnivorous tree , the Zorglub , which is an essential part of the Gorktuk tradition. Wandering throughout the stars , it seeks for xenobiological knowledge hoping to find a predator for carnivorous trees , in order to revolutionize the Gorktuk society and put an end to millenia of isolationism. For now , it likes following human explorers. Its fake past background involves secret experiments on memory and esoteric tendencies (so it's more believable as an human character that way)
<span style='color:blue'>
*Walks over to Bouga*
"Hey you new here? What's your name?
</span>
"Wow, lots of people coming in today, hope we can all work together."
*He then runs to find Bill, to ask him to find a good job with him*</span>
