So in the skype channel, we have been talking about starting a new Space Empires RP, one different from the ones on WOWs and its own independent board. Its partially the reason we set up this Roleplay Forum. So I'm setting this thread up to see who is interested and what you guys want to implement into the RP. Since it is our own version of the Space Empires idea, I want to hear what you guys want in the RP. Do you want PVP, no PVP, limits, rules, guidelines, etc. So post below if you are interested, and/or if you have an idea to propose.
P.S. I've already come up with a name for it, "The Rhodes Parable." If you want to change that bring it up below.
Thanks.

No pvp? Blasphemy! Beyond that, I think an important question is what level of sci fi realism are we going for?

Pretty high level. I don't want anime robot mechs, and stargates and all that. I want a european style game of colonialism in space.

How high in the tech tree are we going to start on? I prefer starting off with tech pretty similar to ours but with major leaps in space travel (duh).

Crimson, The tech will be just below Star Trek TOS, so low level FTL drive, inter-stellar travel, low grade lasers, nuclear weapons, mass driver canons, railguns, and large sized space stations, but not ones the size of a city.
Zeta, I'm not saying no mechs, but nothing like those in the animes with the big giant robot defenders. If you are going to do it, make it realistic, or it won't be accepted as a tech.

What kind of FTL do we want? Warp Drive? Hyperspace? Slipspace? Jump drive? Or to put it another way. Star Trek, Star wars, Halo/Stargate or Battlestar Galactica?

I honestly liked the Battlestar Galactica version of FTL the best, it seemed the most, ''serious'' of the group. But I'd like to see what others think.

I think I would prefer Warp just because I actually have some understanding of how it works and we have theoretical real world equivalents. The Battlestar Galactica version might be fun to play with. If we do that though do we want to make Tylium a thing? Or any exotic substances for that matter?
