Thread Ideas

[Kaden]

As part of an effort to restart Exodus can every member post three thread ideas? Your post in this thread will also let us know you're active and ready to play.

Thanks

This is a good idea. I've actually got a few ideas myself:

1. First idea, I was thinking the Laika (including all its crew) stop at one of the nearby outer-ring planets to sell off the loot they have. People mill around, do stuff around town, etc. Then Greg bumps into an old associate who's in town--but it's not a good thing. They are on bad terms (He's taken/hidden/whatever something of this person's). Greg's taken, and the crew members have to find/help him. Problems I see with this is would the crew be willing to look for him?

2. Second idea. Actually going on a raid! Coming across a ship, getting aboard it, holding people hostage, grabbing loot. All that fun sort of stuff. Everybody can take part (all who want to).

3. Third idea. Crash landing on a foreign/unknown planet. Maybe they've taken some damage (maybe from idea #2? lol) and have to emergency land/crash somewhere. They end up on some planet supposedly nobody's ever been on. What happens here/what it's like is up to everybody's creativity.

I'll take a stab at it:

1. the Laika get boarded by some not so friendly folks. Think it would be interesting to see the tables turned and how the crew reacts.

2. After a Raid they discover they've stolen something they really shouldn't have. Be it weapons, supplies, or an important document.

3. Maybe have a run in with Deux's brother. Not sure how that would go.

[Liara]

Let's see if I have anything.

1. The Destiny lands on an uncharted part of a planet or part of a planet that is deemed dangerous/uninhabitable

2. More people on the Destiny discovering they have powers and finding out other people who have also been getting powers.

3. The Destiny has engine problems or something of the sort in the middle of space and runs into another ship. Could be friendly, could be pirates, could be eerily quiet and overrun by an experiment gone wrong. Whatever we can come up with.

[Agari]

Hmm, Lets see what I can come up with:

1. Murder Mystery. There is a murderer on the ship and we have to weed out who it is.

2. S.O.S. The ship picks up a distress signal, but by the time they get there it is too late and they have to decide what to do with the 'empty' ship.

3. Getting a Tan. The ship gets off course and flies too close to a star. Not only do they have to deal with the 'gravity' of the situation, but also fix whatever gets melted afterward. Outside the ship.

[Bartelby]

1. They are hired? to transport some animals to someplace, but one gets loose on the ship.

2. Visit an asteroid mine, but something doesn't go as planned and they have to find a way to get back to the ship without getting killed.

3. Similarly, some of the crew gets put into a corrupt prison/jail cell/dungeon and have to escape.

4. Get attacked by the military.

I don't have ideas... And by that I mean you all said all of mine really.

The only idea I had was to visit a planet in rebellion against the UIR and also engaged in a civil war/domestic disturbance all set off by Earthfall (*cough cough Takatifu cough*).

Um, about everyone else's ideas though. What do you guys think of RPing both ships together? Because at least one idea looks like it can work for both and that is the raid. The Laika is a pirate ship, the Destiny is a cruising vessel. What if one raids the other. Gives us a chance to RP together and accidents during the raid can kill off characters that are no longer around (or they can become NPCs. Depends on what Greg wants to do with them). Anyway, it could be a short raid and both ships take some damage from it. The Laika has to go heal up/sell off stuff on a planet after (Greg idea #1) and the Destiny has to put into port to fix itself but can only find a deserted planet (Liara idea #1).

That is three separate plots btw. Like we do the raid. Cool. Then each ship goes its separate ways to do whatever. Maybe the port thing or whatever you guys want to do really. Just throwing stuff out there.

I'm...actually fresh out of ideas. The ones above me pretty much take all the cake! But the idea of a Laika-Destiny standoff kinda amuses me, as unlikely as it may be.

[Kyra Di'Lupo]

I must agree the top idea's sum up most great plot idea's raids, fights, and other issues of those sorts always make for a really fun plot.

[Richard]

I am new to all this, but I like most of the ideas above. Also, if anyone has any sites I can go to catch up on what this is about, it would be very much appreciated if they could tell me.

[Richard]

nevermind

[Asher Davis]

Hmmmm...... Idea generating. Fun fun.

I'm really liking Kaden's idea, but I should probably throw a few of my own out here.

1.) The Destiny gets attacked by Pirates from another vessel. I can't remember whether this was suggested, but I just like the image of the ship being captured and the crew and passengers having to fight their way out of it. Could even be that it goes with the SOS idea, only it's a false SOS sent out to lure ships in.

2.) Panic ensues as people try to figure out what is "wrong with them" due to starting to discover their powers. This does depend kind of on how far along some people are.

3.) The ship crashes. This goes with Liara's landing idea..... only a little more drastic since they're in uncharted or uninhabitable area and must repair the ship before they can leave it. Virtually they're stuck there for a while which makes their situation all the more dangerous.

[Kaden]

Hey guys, just an update about this plot. We haven't forgotten about it and we're creating a Choose Your Own Adventeru/Dungeons and Dragons type RP to play. Basically, we are going to pick one planet and both ships are going to crash on it. The Laika attacks the Destiny and they both go down on a hostile planet. The two crews will land in different places and have different situations to play out.

Each crew will have a Dungeon Master type person. In their posts they'll set up the situation and give the crew maybe two or three choices. For example:

You crash landed in the desert. A hostile planetary defense force can track your ship and is on its way to destroy you. Do you stay with the ship, try to fix it in time, or set off across the desert with what resources you can carry and try to make it to a town or some other place where you can contact someone off planet to pick you up?

That will probably be the first choice the Destiny crew will face. Anyway, we are gonna work on planning out a lot of these and should have a preliminary outline by Friday (11/20) and hopefully we will be able to start the RP by Monday (11/23) or Tuesday (11/24).

Sounds like fun! I'm game ^_^

Can't wait!
