Vanilla (No Mods) (Semi-roleplay) Nebulars of Clan Balzac

Discussion in 'Public Servers' started by MrRicecake, Feb 10, 2017.

    Greetings. I shall keep this thread simple and to the point. Today, I present to you the idea I've been fulfilling alone for a long time and now I've decided to expand. Basically, the idea is to gather a group of people, hopefully to join me on my crusade to conquer all of the galaxy Starbound has to offer.

    The reason why I've indicated "Semi-roleplay" in the title is because this would be an organized group of Nebulars (a.k.a. space bandits) visiting each and every habitable planet, putting our mark on them and building at least a small colony if one does not exist yet.

    Now, let's get to the fun parts!

    ♦ Ranks
    . Captain: Buriel Talonmourne (Me)
    Makes decisions for the Clan as a whole, decides which planets to aim for and generally is the first person in command.
    . General: 1 spot available
    Gives advice to the captain and stands in command during his absence.
    . Soldiers: 3 spots available
    During expeditions are the first to jump into battle, always provided with the best available weaponry and armory in the clan's disposal.
    . Medic: 1 spot available
    Takes care of the Clan's medical resources and provides the clan with items such as salves, bandages, etc.
    . Management: 2 spot available
    Watches over the clan's resources as a whole and sends out scavengers and gatherers on missions when something is out of stock or is running low. Also are in charge of crafting.
    . Scavengers: 2 spots available
    During expeditions and once stock is running low scavengers delve into the planet's treasures, raiding chests, dungeons and bringing back any loot they gathered for the management team to deal with.
    . Gatherers: 5 spots available
    Are in charge of the clan's craftable resources such as ores, drops from monsters and also take care of the food for the clan.
    . Architects: 2 spots available
    In charge of building housing and recruiting tenants into colonies.
    . Recruit: Infinite spots available
    People looking to be a part of the clan. They have to pass the Pledge of Allegiance to prove themselves worthy. Until then, they are considered and outsider Nebular and can perform tasks given to them by one of the members. The task must reflect the members' rank, however. A gatherer cannot order the recruit to build a house.
    . . .
    Keep in mind that the amount of spots for each rank can vary.

    ♦ Expeditions
    The main goal of Expeditions is to conquer planets upon arrival. The planet is considered conquered when the Mark of Balzac is placed down, housing (if any) is raided and if a town is present, at least one townsman must join one of the Clan memebers' crew and a teleporter is placed on the planet. Colonization is optional. Going on expeditions has to be done with the least ships possible to save fuel consumption and Captain or General must be present.

    ♦ Pledge of Allegiance
    The trial during which it is decided whether a recruit will become a full pledged member of the Clan Balzac. The pledge of allegiance usually consists of three tasks given by one of the crew members, depending on which rank the recruit seeks. Simple example of Pledge of Allegiance:
    "A new recruit has been assigned and immediately has been provided three tasks by the Gatherer ______. First task is to gather twenty Living Roots. The second is to provide the crew members with twenty cooked steaks. And the final one is to craft a tier 2 set of armor for himself. Once that is done, the Allegiance Ceremony will commence."

    Allegiance Ceremony
    A simple, quick ceremony performed in the main vault of the clan during which the recruits are made proper members of the clan. At least three clan members must be present beside the Captain or General. The Captain or General will lead the ceremony from there on. (avoiding spoilers)

    ♦ Requirements
    • Fresh characters must be created, however, must be survival mode and the ship must be fixed (Questline roughly until the first artifact mission). The reason behind this is that I would like some progression within the game. The name for the character must contain a first and a last name and must be believable (can be fantasy-ish or a simple one. But must contain first and last names) And if possible, a bandit hood would be preferrable as vanity, can be dyed.
    • Some sort of chat room has to be sorted out, or a thread in the forums, to track our progress if all members cannot be online at once.
    • MUST be able to play between hours 8 PM - 3/4AM GMT +2. Playing at different times is by all means an okay, however, expeditions will not be done unless Captain or General is present.
    • (optional) Skype should be available, it is much easier to talk than chat.
    • I will ask you to make up a simple backstory for your character.

    ♦ System Information
    Sadly, currently there is no server address available, as I'm still trying to figure out the details of that. Basically, I CAN host the server, but I am not sure how it would perform with my computer and my internet connection. And hamachi would be needed as well. Thus, this still remains a question. However, I'm already in progress of building up the main vault for the clan. I can run up a server through hamachi for anyone who joins before a whole proper server is set up if you wish to help with the building.

    ♦ How to become a part of this
    You would have to answer these simple questions for me in this thread:
    1. Will you be able to log in within the specified hours?
    2. Are you willing to roleplay once in a while?
    3. Is Skype available for you?
    4. Which rank would you like to take up?
    5. Can you/would you host the server if needed?


    Suggestions, opinions and discussions are welcome. :)

    Uuuuuumm, wheres the sever ip and stuff?

    He put it under System information. Currently based on what is in that section, there is no server open at the moment. You will probably receive more details if you formally reply to this post via the requirements listed in the last bullet point.

    Yeah, I do apologize, but at this current stage, I'm still getting the server things sorted out. This post was thrown in here so I'd see if the idea is even worth pursuing as there will have to be dedicated people. Basically, this is a group project, so before setting everything up, I need to know if people would actually be a part of this.

    Even if there was a server set up, the IP will not be posted publicly, I will give out the IP address once the questions are answered.

    I'm in. Give me a flamethrower and an RPG, I'll take over all the planets!

    Also, if this takes off and you're interested, I'd be willing to make some custom armors and uniforms for your Forces. Even weapons. All completely balanced of course.

    Seems like an interesting idea, I´m in!

    1. Will you be able to log in within the specified hours?
    - Not sure if I converted the time to my GMT correctly, but if I did, I really doubt I can connect at those hours, at least not from monday to friday.
    2. Are you willing to roleplay once in a while? - Of course!
    3. Is Skype available for you? - Yes, it is, but I would prefer to talk using Discord or Curse.
    4. Which rank would you like to take up? - I would like to be a medic
    5. Can you/would you host the server if needed? - If I had to and I had the money, of course I would. But that depends in my economical situation...

    Will you be able to log in within the specified hours?

    Thanks for this amazing idea!

    Probly should do like Caloxeno and actually answer the questions. (I hate tests. But they bring out the best in me.)

    1. Will you be able to log in within the specified hours?
    --As long as I'm not at work I guess. Thats 6pm to 1am for me. So we good.
    2. Are you willing to roleplay once in a while?
    --Can I choose who I am? If so, then yep.
    3. Is Skype available for you?
    --I don't have a mic. I can text chat on there until I do.
    4. Which rank would you like to take up?
    --I have very extensive experience and matching skillsets for the following:
    • -Designated and/or Undesignated Target, Terrain, and Structure Demolitionist
    • -Licensed Mass-Personnel Removal Specialist
    • -Forceful Information Acquisition
    • -Wildlife Atomization and Incineration Analyst
    • -Witness Control Operationist
    • -Questionable Object Disposal Specialist
    --So just give me a rank based on that.
    5. Can you/would you host the server if needed?
    --Nooope. Don't have the hardware to do that. And I wouldn't be around to reset it if it went down if I did. Otherwise, I would.

    Thanks for taking interest in this guys. It really means a lot, here I thought all hope was lost. Basically, at this point I'm not sure if we'll be able to get our own server. So an alternative would be to go through other public servers do the stuff mentioned in the first post. Yes, it will be a little bit more difficult and it will not be permanent most likely as servers shut down and people destroy stuff. But on the other hand, it gives a bigger challenge AND is slightly more realistic I'd say.

    @Jaxine In regards to this taking off, it could even start from tomorrow if you guys are up for the idea to raid different servers. Well, "raid" is a harsh word. More like explore and mark our territory. And talking about equipment, it would be really nice to have custom uniforms and signature weaponry as well.

    Jaxine Pangalactic Porcupine

    Can't add custom stuff over other people's servers tho. We would either have to join your world (normal multiplayer) since theres only a couple of us, or get a server for that to work.
     
  10. MrRicecake

    MrRicecake Void-Bound Voyager

    Makes sense, yeah. Well, basically, the only way for me to host anything is through apps like hamachi or something. 'Cus I don't have ports open. But since there's only a couple of us, I think it might just work.

    Just one quick question. Since it's gonna be RP-included, do we need some sort of home planet for a base of operations? Imho it would be good to have a base to roleplay something else than taking over planets. And rooms for all the ranks and stuff. Whaddaya think?
     
  11. Jaxine

    Jaxine Pangalactic Porcupine

    Sounds gud. And I know the perfect place to put the base too. DEEP... SPACE. a place where co-ordanates can't even reach!
     
  12. MrRicecake

    MrRicecake Void-Bound Voyager

    Haha awesome. Well, now we just need to find a server that would accept this sort of thing and we're good, I guess.

    Well i'd love to join in the expedition if i'm not to late! sounds like a fun time and a way to meet new people mate.
    ♦ How to become a part of this

    1. Will you be able to log in within the specified hours?
    For me the earlier half of the playtime would be hard, but the later half would be easy enough for me. The timezone changes would be from 4:00 AM to 12:00 PM for me
    2. Are you willing to roleplay once in a while?
    Roleplaying is a lot of fun for me so i am 100% prepared.
    3. Is Skype available for you?
    I do have a skype profile.
    4. Which rank would you like to take up?
    I'd take the rank of either Soldier or General
    5. Can you/would you host the server if needed?
    Sadly I cannot because i play on a laptop the server would not have a stable connection.:nuruninja:

    This sounds very interesting, though I'm not sure that I'll be always available to play, and I can chat on skype but my family might look weird at me because I'm English "to myself" and that seems a little weird to them, but other than that I have no problems with roleplaying or anything else.
