Playing as a sapient ship, Eclipse Phase or other systems?
Mm, as long as clarity is upheld, freeform should service this idea well. Though, if you are insistent upon running numbers, then, I'm not the guy lol.
So if there were other players. They would be playing the crew of said ship? As far as travelling the depths of space goes. Are we talking, firefly-esque rogue missions? Lost in space trying to find a way back(or just a brand new) home? Or something more like starwars or star trek with an expansive universe?
I do well with story and plot but not so much world building. Firefly, lost in space, all good, but once we start getting to multiple civs it's a bit much. The races I could handle, even the planets it's just the diversity of those that would be too constraining uoon me.
Oh as far as posting goes you would expect a solid 2-3 posts a week, whereby you the players could feel free to post as much between as ya like.
