    Serenity is an Enforced Roleplay community and server for mature players aged 18 and older.

    Our community features:
    • A Modded and re-balanced server - Our custom modpack is designed to enhance both the base game and roleplay potential. These mods were not simply tossed together; they have been used only with the permission of their authors, and their contents have been painstakingly re-balanced to be compatible with one another, including the Avali and Peglaci races. With the Serenity modpack, you will enjoy fuller and deeper gameplay.
    • Protected Server - Serenity operates via an application process and has full whitelist infrastructure. Roleplay Enforcers (RPEs) are around to moderate both in-character and out-of-character conflict.
    • Documented Lore to explore and create - based off of a melding of the Firefly television series and Starbound lore
    • Colonies to Explore and Build - Serenity features both NPC colonies and PC-organized communities. Player-run colonies are strongly encouraged and incentivized, and are always looking for new citizens. Alternatively, found a new colony, and invest hard-earned credits into protection and community resources (or revenue sources)!
    • Events and story! - Serenity's staff (and players) act as Dungeon Masters in unique, server-wide storylines. Don't just hang out in a bar all day; go out and adventure!
    • Crews to form and jobs to do - It can be tough to survive out there in the 'Verse...but one tried and true method? Find a crew. Find a job. Keep flying.
    • Character Sheets and dice! - Tired of god-moding, unbalanced mechanical PvP, or conflicts that never go anywhere? Serenity features a fleshed-out dice rolling system. With extensive documentation and a diversity of available skills, you can craft a character sheet to match your concept. Excel in combat, technology, stealth, medical arts, or a host of other skills. Note: This character sheet system is not required for casual roleplay and can be eased into.
    • Tight-nit community - Starbound Serenity has been active since December 2013 and we plan to remain so for many more years! Join us today.

    Hi there person reading this thread. c: I am an active member of this community and I've come here specifically to offer my endorsement to this server. It is a place full of amazingly fun people, skilled Staff who are great at hosting their RP events, dynamic opportunities, and all sorts of fun. Now, I will admit, the server isn't for everyone due to our mechanics system in place, it can be confusing at first and it takes some practice to get good at. But once you do, the immersion into your character increases exponentially.

    Now, I ask you to listen, to give the application process a try and join the community! If you need any help or anything. You can go ahead and join our TS3 channel (it's on the website, the one under the banner.)

    Bah-bye now, I hope to meet you soon!

    Do you have to be familiar with the Serenity and Firefly stuff?

    No, you dont have to be; Its more of the sci-fi western style than the plot.

    Do you enforce combat roleplaying? Or I have real pvp if both sides agree?

    It's roll based combat. So progression does matter character wise here. c:

    Roll based combat is the default, which can be moderated by staff upon request. If everyone involved in a combat session agrees to a different method, they may do so, but staff typically won't moderate these other methods if there is a problem.

    Long-time player, won't give my name immediately, but...

    It's far and away better than any other RP server.

    If only because combat isn't a complete shitshow. Combat is very balanced.

    GO JOIN THIS SERVER

    What mods do you have?
    and are there any ways to oncince you to add more mods? such as the frackinraces mod (it doesnt need frackin universe anymore) and the mech mods?

    Staff on the server here, we aren't planning on any more races any time soon, though we do have three custom races: The Avali, Peglaci, and Faunis. The Faunis arent based off of a mod, and are somewhat unique to the server. You can check out the lore we have on them on our website. The rest of the mods are mostly things to add more cosmetics, building materials, and general rp helping mods. We dont use Frackin' Universe anymore.

    For the people who where passed around the message it would come with both a text'ed dialog and a video recording; though the video recording would be of poor quality and filled with static. Standing in front of a pile of scrap metal in what looks to be the cargo hold of a rather large ship a rather battered looking glitch would stand in of the recorder. One monocle-looking eye along a smaller normal looking one, Several wires where open and exposed on the glitch as well as equally noted that their paneling was made up of several different colors, showing the glitch was likely rather old or had been repaired many times.

    "Inquiring. Looking to hire some hands to Asst with an upcoming Salvaging trip. Indiscriminate. Previous experience is not required, but space is limited, as is supplies so bring your own. Informative. Our upcoming Salvaging trip will be gathering supplies from a-a-a-a gathering s-s-s - " *The glitch would spaz for a moment as if stuck on a loop, another glitch would walk by in the background, seeming to notice this before patching a few lose wires on the bot then caring on as if nothing happened.* "Rebooting. System restored. Pondering. Where was I? Recalling! Oh yes! - "Informative. Our upcoming salvaging trip will be gathering supplies from a Asteroid salvage field. Dangerous. Our hires will be required to bring OOA protection, and if bringing their own vessels should be warned of the dangers of Asteroid travel."

    "Informative. Anyone interested in joining our exhibition please forward your contact information to us on the Sparkernauts; or if you wish to contact me personally, My name is Circuitrench, and I will be your captain. Hopeful. Will hear form you very soon!"

    Temple of Frog's Gunscanner Information

    An advanced security device in the Core, most banks and government buildings have a Newtech Gunscanner installed at security checkpoints. Of course, folk with the proper permits can carry weapons, but all others will have their weapons confiscated.

    The scanners can be calibrated to detect a lot of things, though most look for a concentration of metals, traces of common propellant chemicals, and the ID chips installed in most legally acquired firearms.

    Includes a small localized force field to keep the individual from fleeing when an alarm is sounded.

    This particular scanner can be calibrated to find certain materials- but it decreases it's effectiveness at finding other materials not relevant to the one you calibrate it for. You can set the Newtech Gun Scanner to search for four items or materials.

    DC 40 Weapons
    A weapon is defined as:
    Firearms, Swords, all non-utensil bladed objects (scalpels excluded) and all non-tool (small, lightweight) such as: hammers, Axes, Clubs, knifes.
    Cultural Exemptions:
    • Samurais with Samurai swords
    • People of Law-biding factions who are of high military rank may carry their standard issued weapon.
    • Gifts for the temple.

    DC15-Streetwise/Investigation/Racial Culture

    The temple of Frog is a Floating Hylotl monastery; occupied by a community of monks living under religious vows in the name of peace and harmony. Located on a ocean planet just around the edge of the core, the monks are known to live a peaceful though secluded lifestyle that many Hylotl envy.


    DC25-Streetwise/Investigation/Racial Culture

    As the name of the temple may suggest; The temple of Frog is most popularly known for it's frog-like 'Pets' The most famous of these are the Giant four-eyed tree frogs. Known for their Red-eyes, massive size, extremely powerful tongues and ability to climb walls; these frogs are known and capable of eating people of short statue. However much like a human 'dog' these frogs are very well trained and very loyal to the monks. And as such it is well advised to not bother them or the monks while they are around.


    DC35

    Not as well known as the frogs of the temple of frog; The giant toads of the temple will easily dwarf any normal statue person; and could just as well eat them. Though they tend to be less of a threat then the frogs of the temple, being slower, and not as easily provoked... However it only takes a few seconds to be grappled and eaten by these mammoths of nature... Though on a lighter note they are considered the most peaceful creature; even when compared to the monks themselves, women of the temple often trusting their own children to the toads. The toads too are best known for their beautiful singing, their croaks often mistaken as the more elegant frogs; when in reality most of the beautiful background noise of the temple is made up of the toads' singing.


    DC45

    Only a handful of people know of, or more less have seen the temple's true guardian... Not Frog nor Toad; a beast that is said to light up the entire ocean below the floating temple; and even power it on especially dark nights. Known by the temple residents as "Amit" Is a Massive Giant electrical eel; believed by many to be the living embodiment of the spirits that originally came to that planet to settle; as unlike the frogs or toads the eel is actually native to the ocean planet. However despite it's natural origins there has been no record of the Eel ever harming any of the residence, and has been seen, more then once, pluck enemy ships right from the air before they hopped to make a landing....


    White is "White Frog"?

    This seems interesting. I have been playing on a server with Frackin Universe, and looking for something that isn't so complicated, but at the same time, has more content than vanilla. I have never RPed before, the closest I have gotten is trying to make a planet with Bunnykin everywhere, although I eventually gave up because I found it stale with only Bunnykin. Would I have to ignore any game mechanics when doing PVE? Would I be able to do exclusively PVE, or mostly PVE? I'm mostly an introvert when it comes to online games, although I would like to do some stuff with other players. I'm mostly into learning how to do good builds.

    We allow our players to play the game as normal; however in a table top scenario (much like DnD) combat is tied to a dice system rather then typical gameplay. This way we fousc more on the story then the starbound gameplay.
     
  17. Setzer Gabbiani

    Setzer Gabbiani Void-Bound Voyager

    So the dice system is the only extra factor I would need to worry about? I think I read somewhere else that players are required to have character sheets for events. I could basically keep a text file open and use that to keep track of stats, right? And is there any way to prevent players from lying about stats? It still seems confusing, but from what I understand, it seems that I only need to worry about it with PVP and events, am I right? And as for PVE, would I always use events and RP to get the items I need? Or is it more like certain Minecraft servers where there are mods that restrict character abilities depending on what role they have? For instance, a Farmer only being able to do farming related things, and having to use a hoe to defend himself from mobs, or a Warrior having access to the strongest gear, but being unable to do most crafting related things.

    Flying Turtle Scruffy Nerf-Herder

    All character sheets are posted on the forums and abide by set guidelines for stats. In terms of PVE, you're free to play the game, but things you do in-game don't directly translate to the IC system.

    For example: You couldn't craft a full set of impervium in-game and then put a set of fully upgraded impervium on your character sheet. Similarly, you couldn't build an entire colony without having someone with IC skill in architecture to aid in the process.

    Many players also use their character sheet stats for casual roleplay for things like social rolls and other rudimentary things, as most people come to enjoy the lack of conflict/argument that our dice system gives.
