SWCG: End of season one

[Oky]

how about the almost circle sign?

That would work too, but if we have that sign on our HQ ship, we would have to have it on our starfighters as well, but I (like some others) don't have that piece. The insignia of unity (the black and white one), on the other hand, should be in the possession of everybody by now, thanks to the BP. Therefore, I think that one would be best.

Btw, what does that circle insignia represent? I tried to find it on Wookieepedia, but I couldn't.

We should have a name that's season 1 injokey

Yes, I thought about that too. Perhaps it should have a name related to time travel as a reference to our victory of the last season. Therefore, I think "Paradox" would be a cool name. What do you guys think?

Btw, I don't think BPac is playing anymore. After his last post in this game, he hasn't posted anything anymore, and he is not answering any PMs. I think we should take him out of the game until we hear from him again. His character is a droid, so we don't have to kill him off; we can just say that he is deactivated and is lying in a closet on board our ship. So, if he should decide to keep playing, we can just activate him again.

[-JD-]

Btw, how long does it take you to upload the pic of Rex?

For your ship? Well, as of now, we don't even know what it looks like completely, so it's hard to tell.

Besides, you're the one who built it, so why don't you give it a name (or a couple of possible names) and we tell you if we approve or not?

Sounds good. Makes more sense than using the Imperial insignia at least. But I would still prefer it if we had the usual Republic one. I mean, we're still working for the Republic after all.

- Not as long as you take to start season 2.

- I can think of a couple. Perhaps Fortitude or Valour? Also the name Dauntless comes to mind.

- Whatever. We could use both symbols. I thought it would give us a chance to be seen as heros by others, if we created the Rebel insignia.

I will deeplink a picture soon....

[-JD-]

Rex:

And the ship with all the updates including the docking station ( just in front of the blue shield):

Hopefully that is enough to see until the pictures are up.

Its the symbol of the open circle fleet. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Open_Circle_Fleet. Its available on both eta 2 jsf's and AT-AP if your interested. the republic symbol i think is too obvious, we don't actually have to have one, we're doing special missions for the republic, seeing the symbol will be a bad idea.

How about da death star? is he still a member?

EDIT: Nice ship JD, my only problem is the engines, they look weak and look like they'll break off easily. maybe some side engines as well?

e.g (looking from behind) little o is top engines (0| is big side ones

o o

(0| |0)

From what I can see in that picture, the ship looks very good, JD. So, what do you think we should call it?

I'm not so sure about your Rex, though. We already agreed that he is the commander from the clone BP. Besides, yours looks more like a captain than a commander without the visor.

my only problem is the engines, they look weak and look like they'll break off easily. maybe some side engines as well?

Although having six engines might be too much, I agree that having some big ones on the side would look good. Perhaps those could replace the ones at the top rear.

Or we could leave it as it is and just say that I did my miracle engineering on the ship's engines to supercharge them, like on Garviel's fighter.

Speaking of which, Oky Wan must be a real genius if he modified Garviel's Delta-7 to have a hyperdrive without making any visual changes when not even Anakin Skywalker was able to hide the hyperdrive thruster on his Azure Angel.

Its the symbol of the open circle fleet. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Open_Circle_Fleet. Its available on both eta 2 jsf's and AT-AP if your interested. the republic symbol i think is too obvious, we don't actually have to have one, we're doing special missions for the republic, seeing the symbol will be a bad idea.

Thanks for that info!

But you didn't need to tell me in which sets I can find the piece in. The AT-AP doesn't interest me for some reason, and the JSF with booster ring is a little pricey for me. If it goes on sale someday, I'll be sure to get it though.

As for which insignia to use: Unless we are part of that "Open Circle Fleet", we shouldn't use that insignia. So, it's either the Rebel Aliance insignia or the Republic one (even though it's too obvious). I like the idea of using the Rebel one because it would be a unique symbol (for the Clone Wars era) and represents hope. And anyone who has the Rebel BP has that insignia. Therefore, I'd say let's go with that.

How about da death star? is he still a member?

Hm. I don't know. He did express the wish for a second season at the beginning of this thread, but we haven't heard much from him since. I might have to PM him to get a confirmation on that.

The new season should begin in February - if Jim FINALLY gets the MOC index done by then.

Great work on the ship, JD. I'm not really worried about a name for it, but you guys can make one if you like.

Bpac and DDS are still playing, but some people don't have as much time to participate in online things like EB and the SWCG, which is perfectly fine. I'm not going to take anyone out of the game for the time being- it hasn't even started! We'll think about removing players if they aren't active for a long time (in the game), just like always.

Sorry I haven't gotten around to making the MOC index yet, I have to focus on my finals. I'll try to get to work on it ASAP.

Oh. I forgot about that. He can be some other guy then.

I am changing the engines for you guys, so there are four (six would be too cramped).

I will add the insignia to the ship. First I need to tidy up 'The LEGO Room' because of all the grey peices (in the background of the pictures) are covering the entire floor.

I could give you the password to my account on BS, then change it after you all have seen the pictures, if the moderators let me.

Wasn't paradox the name of the utapau guy in S1C2?

Bad idea I think, i doubt anyone will steal your BS account but you never know, we know what the ship looks like anyway so you don't have to.

As for the name and symbol, The ship is used for covert operations (like serenity from firefly is) so the name and identity of the ship would have changed several times so a symbol isn't really needed and the name will change after every mission anyway.

For S2C1 my choice is SUPROSA (In EU it had the DS2 plans and is the reason "many bothans died") according to wiki:

Suprosa is perhaps a pun on sub rosa - a latin phrase translated literally as under the rose, meaning things that should be kept secret.

Which is what we are, being secret agents and things like that, and we are keeping that there was a time machine project secret.

Speaking of which if BPac turns out not to be playing any more, how about a story arc in a later chapter or season where his memory gets corrupted or something, he becomes a separatist and because he has knowledge about the time machine we have to stop him from meeting grevious, if its too lame we could use it as a reason to wipe his memory or something.

[Oky]

Not as long as you take to start season 2.

HEY! Don't blame me; it's Jim who is being too lazy/busy to take the time to get the index done and give me the green light to start the new season. If I were in charge, we would be half-way through the first chapter already.

Perhaps Fortitude or Valour? Also the name Dauntless comes to mind.

Hm... those sound pretty good. "Dauntless" sounds a bit weird, though. If I had to pick from those choices, I'd say Fortitude, 'cause it's a good name for a ship since it could refer to either our group's strength or the strength of the ship itself.

What do you guys think?

Wasn't paradox the name of the utapau guy in S1C2?

Yes. I just really like that word, "paradox".

As for the name and symbol, The ship is used for covert operations (like serenity from firefly is) so the name and identity of the ship would have changed several times so a symbol isn't really needed and the name will change after every mission anyway.

I think it would be too complicated to come up with a new name for the ship all the time, but even if we did, it would still need a "true" name, one that we refer to the ship with all the time, like the serenity is called the serenity, you know. So, let's try to find that name.

For S2C1 my choice is SUPROSA (In EU it had the DS2 plans and is the reason "many bothans died") according to wiki:

SNIP

Which is what we are, being secret agents and things like that, and we are keeping that there was a time machine project secret.

We don't keep the time machine thing secret. It's just that nobody would believe us since there is no trace of it. But yeah, I get your point. An interesting idea to call our ship that. But since the only secret agents in our team are Jim and Adan (and maybe Garviel), I don't think the name of our ship should be based on secret keeping. Sorry, just my opinion.

I could give you the password to my account on BS, then change it after you all have seen the pictures, if the moderators let me.

Well, if you would do it via PM, and if you are sure you can trust us ( ) ( ), I say go for it. Ask who wants to see them and tell those people to PM you. But as simonjedi said, we already know what it looks like, so you don't need to do this.

Bpac and DDS are still playing, but some people don't have as much time to participate in online things like EB and the SWCG, which is perfectly fine. I'm not going to take anyone out of the game for the time being- it hasn't even started! We'll think about removing players if they aren't active for a long time (in the game), just like always.

So... What do we do with them? Just drag them along, like we did with Skipper?

Sorry I haven't gotten around to making the MOC index yet, I have to focus on my finals. I'll try to get to work on it ASAP.

You have finals already? Didn't your school start, like, 2 weeks ago? Anyway, don't worry about it. School has priority. But once you're done, you better get going! JD is getting impatient.

If BPac turns out not to be playing any more, how about a story arc in a later chapter or season where his memory gets corrupted or something, he becomes a separatist and because he has knowledge about the time machine we have to stop him from meeting grevious, if its too lame we could use it as a reason to wipe his memory or something.

Interesting ideas. Another option that doesn't involve him becoming a separatist would be a Duel of the Droids style side plot where he gets captured by grievous (or is about to be) and we have to find and destroy him in order to prevent his memory of Republic secrets falling into enemy hands or something. As I said, since he is a droid, there are many interesting ways of taking him out of the game, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here. The game hasn't even started yet, and Jim says that he is still playing, so we'll see what happens.

[simonjedi]

HEY! Don't blame me; it's Jim who is being too lazy/busy to take the time to get the index done and give me the green light to start the new season. If I were in charge, we would be half-way through the first chapter already.

The index as it is atm is more than enough to start S2, there was only abut 15 posts that actually had pictures in it, and i'm eager to get going.

Hm... those sound pretty good. "Dauntless" sounds a bit weird, though. If I had to pick from those choices, I'd say Fortitude, 'cause it's a good name for a ship since it could refer to either our group's strength or the strength of the ship itself.

What do you guys think?

Dauntless, fortitude and Valour sound a bit too capitol ship for me, if i'm honest,

I think it would be too complicated to come up with a new name for the ship all the time, but even if we did, it would still need a "true" name, one that we refer to the ship with all the time, like the serenity is called the serenity, you know. So, let's try to find that name.

Well, MacK's freighter was always known as MacK's freighter few names from wookiepedia: Vigilance, Minestra. I like serenity though, we've "used" loads of ideas from other areas.

You have finals already? Didn't your school start, like, 2 weeks ago? Anyway, don't worry about it. School has priority. But once you're done, you better get going! JD is getting impatient.

Its probably the same we have in the UK, a few weeks after christmas we have exams about what we learnt september - december, its an "official exam" which counts towards your final mark.

I was only joking, and I know it isn't your fault....it's Jim's! Just kidding. Fortitude was my favourite as well. Dauntless means courageous and hope so I thought I should add it.

I do trust you all (I think ), and there is no personal info on there or anything I cannot re upload so I don't mind. You don't know the new stuff inside though, so I think you should see anyway. Anyone who wants to see it, please say.

I am not impatient, just excited.

Btw, could I have a love interest in the next season as she was mentioned in the last chapter? It would not last long though. About a chapter or so.

Edited January 18, 2009 by Jammiedodger714

[simonjedi]

I think Dauntless suits us the group as well, why don't we have both names? One as the official name and the secret identity we have to use?

could I have a love interest in the next season as she was mentioned in the last chapter? It would not last long though

technically it never happened but i don't see why not, it'll be interesting character develpment imo.

Speaking of which, Oky Wan must be a real genius if he modified Garviel's Delta-7 to have a hyperdrive without making any visual changes

RETCON: its a crappy hyperdrive, only useful for small jumps, to escape places and stuff. the "Dauntitude" is used to make proper hyperspace jumps, where my Delta 7b is stored

I think Dauntless suits us the group as well, why don't we have both names? One as the official name and the secret identity we have to use?

Alright, how about this: The ship's original name is Fortitude, and when we need a cover name for it, we'll use Dauntless. Everyone OK with that?

Anyone who wants to see it, please say.

ME, ME, ME! I want to see the pics... AND MESS UP YOUR WHOLE ACCOUNT! MUAHAHAHAHA! Hehe, just kidding.

Btw, could I have a love interest in the next season as she was mentioned in the last chapter? It would not last long though. About a chapter or so.

She was? I don't recall that. Anyway, of course you can! That would probably be pretty interesting. I think everyone is allowed to have one sidekick (like Wouwie has Rex and Bob has that Jedi). Your lover could be your sidekick. But if she really did appear in the last season, you'll have to work out the whole time paradox problem somehow.

It can't be a crappy hyperdrive because Oky Wan Kenobi doesn't do crappy jobs. Let's just say it's a weak one.

So, what's the name of your ship? The "Hyper-hopper"?

Btw, what does "RETCON" mean?

[JimBee]

HEY! Don't blame me; it's Jim who is being too lazy/busy to take the time to get the index done and give me the green light to start the new season. If I were in charge, we would be half-way through the first chapter already.

Alright, alright. Here's the deal: if I don't finish the MOC index by Sunday, go ahead and start. We can start without the index, it's just that I wanted to be sure that all of the pictures would fit. And they will. With extra space. After the game starts, everyone can post in the Index thread.

So... What do we do with them? Just drag them along, like we did with Skipper?

For the time being, I'd say so. Like I said, the game hasn't even started yet, so there's no problem (yet).

You have finals already? Didn't your school start, like, 2 weeks ago? Anyway, don't worry about it. School has priority. But once you're done, you better get going! JD is getting impatient.

The semester hasn't ended yet (for me)- the holiday break was right before the finals, and then semester 2 starts. I'll try my best to get those done before the deadline...

[Adam]

Gah! Do you just want me to do it?

[JimBee]

No, it's alright. Besides- I just finished chapters 1 and 2. That was a lot easier than I thought, and I'll have 3 and 4 up hopefully later today. It's a shame that some pictures are too large or missing- MacK's pictures (missing) would have made up half of the first two chapters. I'll PM him to see if he wants to provide the deeplinks again.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot. In some of your posts with pictures, Pr0, you did not give credit to the person who originally made the MOC. It is very important that you do, otherwise your photo edited pictures will not appear in the index. Thanks.

EDIT 2: 3 is done, and 4 will be done sometime... soon.

I could live with that.

She was mentioned in the confrontation between JD and the BH at the end. Her name was Jaina.

I'll send a PM tomorrow.

[Lt. Col. Thok]

Just a quick comment - the snow gear I used in Chapter....3 was it? That will be my armour for next season, minus the helmet (keep what is now on).

Thanks.

[Adam]

I'll be wearing my original outfit (now that decals have been provided}.

[Oky]

Ah! Finally you took the time to work on the index, Jim! That wasn't so hard, was it?

Hope it didn't distract you from your finals. Good luck with those btw!

I have a few questions though:

Does this mean we don't have to wait until Sunday to start the game? Please PM me to discuss when and how you want to start the new season.

Just out of curiosity: Why is my first MOC listed after Vaders_son's MOC? It was posted before his and is set before the events in his MOC.

Do you still want us to not post in that thread?Cause the red comment saying so is still in the first post.

I'll be wearing my original outfit (now that decals have been provided}.

Which one do you mean? Your very first one or the one that you wore throughout the rest of Chapter 3?

Also, what decals are you talking about?

Also, what decals are you talking about?

The very first; Alpha Team flex suit - LuxorV made decals not long ago. I'll link them when I find them.

Also, since there are leg decals, my pants only have to be plain black legs and hips (if you don't have the orange/black flex ones).
