Welcome to Gaia! ::

it's all good. I was just throwing that out there for everyone to read

I'm well aware that you're a droid, and that having other droids on board limit your usefulness

Fine, one YVH, a pair of B1s, and a -3P0 unit. Better?

It's not like they'll be patrolling around, blasters ready. They'll be stuffed in a locker, away from sight until we actually need them. If we do.

No offense to everyone, but I think it would be better if I just withdrew from this RP. I'm not interested in a military campaign, and it seems that there's no way to avoid it regardless. So instead of killing the mood by arguing, I'll just abdicate my position up to someone more interested in blasting apart the unknown regions instead of exploring them.

It's becoming more and more blatently obvious that the motivation behind this plot is to search and destroy, with extreme prejudice, anything and everything we encounter. Military war droids, heavily armed frigates, fighting empires...

This is a warparty. Plain and simple. The only use my character is at the moment is figuring out how to kill them faster. The only thing resembling a weapon on my character is his blaster, and it's only got a stun setting. At the rate it's going, my character is going to mutiny and hand the rest of the team over to the Chiss Ascendency and disable the ship so they quit acting like a bunch of meat-headed clone troopers than take up a position on board and fight for his life.

There's nothing wrong with having combat-oriented scrapes, but if this is supposed to be exploration, we need to mirror Star Trek a bit. They have combat and tension, but it's very small-scale, like 1-on-1 ship battles, sometimes up to 2-3 per side, but that's the extent of it, and they don't encounter another situation of that for quite some time. Most of the tension comes from anomalies that cause problems and stuff like that.

For example, someone gets nabbed by natives on a planet we're exploring. We're trying to establish relations, so resorting to violence is strictly not an option, but there's a problem of getting them to release their hostage, so everyone's gotta figure out how to deal with them on a civil level.

Their own fandom within the SW fandom.

Kinda makes you wonder what would result if they were genocidal.

Star Wars Mandalorians: Ner Vod triology on DVD now.

Anyways, what I said would hopefully give some ideas that can resolve the issue of too much combat while still allowing valid skirmishes here and there.

Really, I don't care. I'm just happy to see an attempt at an RP again. Whatever works in the end is fine with me. All I need right now is for everyone to agree on enough things so we can start RPing this once it's up and running.
