I almost want to use this tocome up with some kind of sci-fi tabletop session. ******* so much detail
User avatar #18 - kouzan (12/21/2015) [-]
**** , this is gonna be long. I made the ship reasonably large, with enough armaments to dissuade anything from attacking it. However, it is suited for stealth missions, large rail guns and is meant for surviving in space. Waltz with her, won't you?

Included in this exceedingly long post are prices of what I used, tallied them up. And perks that I added throughout. Bolded are categories for easier reading. I made the ship to be a survival craft that can still be added onto with the 30 million remaining.

#28 to #21 - anon (12/23/2015) [-]
Nice build seems well balanced with an excellent crew. But to be the bearer of bad news the ship mods need to be multiplied by 4X.
User avatar #29 to #28 - kouzan (12/23/2015) [-]
Ah, I can just remove one of the minor guns on the ship. I figured the math was off if I had something left over. If I did the calculation correct I'm over by 2m. But that could be remedied if I had access to the money from missions.

The author of this also writes a quest (a story where the readers determine the main characters actions) based on this that just recently came off hiatus. you can find the archives here suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Star%20Dust%20Quest
User avatar #1 - misternobodie (12/20/2015) [-]
Holy **** so much detail ! Is this from a tabletop or a browser game or what ?

dndexplain check this out.
#2 to #1 - BoSvNCR (12/20/2015) [-]
I'm guessing it's from a game seeing as there's a chance to take on contracts to make more money
User avatar #4 to #1 - blackestblacksmith [OP]ONLINE (12/20/2015) [-]
its just a cyoa. its been around for years and its been developed into this glorious masterpiece
User avatar #5 - internetexplain (12/20/2015) [-]
while that is nice and all , that is just way too ******* much to read for a cyoa in my eyes.
User avatar #24 to #5 - paddypancake (12/21/2015) [-]
Well some people like it that way. Either way you don't have to even read half of it to make proper choices. You can assume that certain ships work in a certain way if they belong to a certain faction and so on, you don't have to read their description. Also don't have to read stuff from hostiles and so on.

Did I do good? I was going for a ship with a rather tight knit crew, some powerful fighters on board and one of the best fighters money could buy, with some fun characters to make the trips interesting. I'll be the first man to make contact with the Hearlds, perhaps go on some adventures, who knows?
