I considered that, but shock batons are only TL3 technology. Some sort of gravity mace intended to smash through armor isn't a bad idea. I'll have to think about that one.

My only problem with gravity-maces is that, as a technology, it only helps with an overhead swing.  At that point you may as well use a full maul, because any kind of finesse it out the window.

Well, that, and you have to consider the ramifications of the tech curve being able to build a hardened gravity generator that's less than a foot long.  That opens the door to all *kinds* of tech.

To be fair, TL4 has gravtanks. (Yes, they retconned that in Engines of Babylon)
They also have portable ultralight grav flitters. Artificial gravity. And grav chutes. And cutter rifles and a host of other grav-tech.

At TL5 it becomes perfect control, with shear rifles and so forth.

In my quest to make things realistic, I realized that Crawford had already done a lot of the work for me. TL4 has abundant grav control. They never come right out and say it, but even the starships are probably using gravitic drives to get around and spike-drives are probably utilizing gravity manipulation to tear open metaspace.

One more week of the grind.  We've got new staff, but they need training.  Sorry again for being on the outs.

No worries. I'm AWOL myself as I get settled into my new job. I fully intend to continue this game, but it might take a bit to get back into the swing of it.

On a side note, I think we've reach a point where we can speed the Horus time-line forward through the trip through metaspace (a generally uneventful week or so of travel) unless you need time to do anything specific or you want a random event to occur during transit?

I have to echo the same sentiments. I just moved to a new location (though in the same general region), so I'm dealing with relocation at the moment.

I think Maire, Selana and I need to have a conversation... waiting on them to post.

I'm waiting on Selena, but I can go ahead and post ahead of her if we don't want to wait too long.

Sorry everyone. Been a rough week. I'll get up a post beefier the end of today.

How's everyone doing? Do we time-jump?

Best option I think

Eh, car problem.  My parking brake siezed up on me, and the new brake line didn't show up until today.  Going to take the car out to the shop tomorrow, been trying to post all week so far ^_^;

Have we just lost Maire?

No, sorry. I didn't notice people responded. >.>

Alright, I think I'm going to move the time-line along. If any of you want to interact with NPCs and do anything/explore the Horus/pursue agendas, go ahead and start posting in the relevant parts of the ship.

Ping.

Anyone interested in continuing?

I think that we should definitely consider a full reset, at this point. If you have another story-arc idea, that is. We can re-run this one too, if we get a mostly new cast. But as it stands, this game feels like it's carrying around a lot of dead weight.

Kinda have that feeling too. Wouldn't mind a hard reset. Loved playing Annabel... but there's a lot of clutter in here right now.

I'd be happy to do a full reset. Should I start a new game page?

Could just clear or archive the threads here. Creating a new game seems unnecessary.

I'll start archiving, cleaning things up and so on.

Sounds like we need to do a time-jump to clean things up. How far would everyone like to go? 1 year? 5?

Not sure how much of that would be necessary for me/my character, but I'm fine with whatever facilitates things for the rest that it concerns more.

Fair enough. We can continue with your story as needed, I suppose, Ragnar.

Well, I think part of the problem is the decentralisation of the player base. We had something going for a while on the bridge, but then it kind of... failed. not sure if it was my fault or what though.
