    http://tectumclementia.proboards.com/

    Rules:
    1: Role-Play first. This is not a server for you to build an enormous cannon with engines.

    2:OOC chat must be kept in double parentheses ((like this)).

    3: No griefing. This is defined by the admin on the spot, but a good rule of thumb is "Don't attack people who are offline. Don't attack people who are AFK. Don't attack people without a reason."

    4: Be respectful. No swearing in OOC chat. No racist or sexist comments.

    5: Be mature. This is just a game. If you have an issue, bring it to an admin. In order to be accepted, you must include a Latin phrase used properly somewhere in your Bio section. If you have an issue with me, bring it to another admin. If they agree with you, I'll back down.

    Special RP rules:

    Preface IC chat with a channel, like *radio* or [Broadcast] or even [ESN]. Chat without a channel will be considered to be spoken out loud, and not broadcast.

    Knowledge of faction homebases is OOC, unless you physically discover the location. No Peeking! There may be other ways, but players do have a right to keep secret bases a secret.

    If your character "already has" a ship, or "buys a ship used" then you can build however you like, however if your character is building in character, you should have some kind of enclosed space-construction facility.

    If you die, you loose the last 30m of memory In character. However you can always claim to be "crippled and injured in your ship" and be rescued. This adds to RP complexity, and should prevent the more moral players from looting your wreckage. You may also be in time to retrieve the money you drop ;)

    Game Mechanics and Play Tips:

    This server is in some ways a completely different game from the Starmade we all know and love. The economy is quite strict, and is used to try to shape gameplay in a unique direction. Some major changes are as follows.

    1. "Friction" is increased. this means that engines tend to be less effective, and a ship's top speed is usually below that of the server maximum. Additionally, Engines are increased in cost. The overall result is that if you do have a ship that moves at the server top speed, you are probably doing something wrong.

    2. Weapon emphasis is changed. AMC are no longer the end-all Be-all weapon. Rather, they are now a high-tech luxury weapon, far too expensive to deploy in large numbers. Primary weapons are usually D1000 rockets, or some guided missile. This is more feasible as ships are moving generally more slowly.

    3. Defense emphasis has changed. Shields are now many times more expensive than any weapon. One could equate a single shield generator block to a decent amount of armor. Players may choose to forgo shields entirely, or use only a few, spending the money better on hull and engines. As an additional incentive Away from shields, armor now has 85% damage resistance, and Basic hull has 35%.

    4. Economy. Gold, silver, and Bronze bars are earned through quests, or defeating difficult opponents, or mining a huge amount of ore. With these, players can buy anything. Credits are good for buying blocks other than AMC, Shields, AI, and some others.

    5. Insurance. If your ship meets certain requirements, admins can respawn it for you if it is lost or damaged. This new ship is not the one you lost, but another ship of the class, fresh from the yards. If you become attached to your ship, admins can spawn you materials to patch serious damage. "Ships have souls too..."

    This is an awesome server that feels much more 'real' and gets away from the power/shields/AMC competition.

    Check your In-box on the old site. If that's locked, you might need to repost it here or on the ProBoards link in the first post.

    Character Name: Axel Ixalite (Ixalite)

    Age: 54

    Species: Human

    Gender: Male

    Alignment: Lawful Neutral

    Bio:

    Axel was born many years ago, to moderately wealthy parents. Following his father's example, he attended Far Step naval academy, where he graduated Cum Laude. His naval career is still hailed as an example to junior officers, having risen to the rank of vice admiral in twenty years. He was present in some of the worst border actions of his day, and his first frigate command, the "Plum Blossom Snowflake" is still on display at Signi station as a memorial to the Plunging Deeps incident.
    Today, Axel is the weary admiral of the underfunded ESN navy. It is a thankless job, but someone has to do it. He tries his best to keep things spinning, and occasionally dips into his family fortune to pay his sailors. He would never turn against the government, but is establishing a file cataloging the corruption of his superiors in case an opportunity to bring them to justice should present itself.

    Initial Plans: Facilitate Roll Play on a large scale.

    Character Name: Anthony Carnasis (Carnasis)

    Age: 34

    Species: Human

    Gender: M

    Alignment: Lawful Neutral

    Bio:

    Anthony Carnasis, born to nomadic merchant spacers Elizabeth and Martin Carnasis, was taught at an early age the value living in the cold dark space, where no matter the situation, was to find profit in everything. The Carnasis family roamed from system to system peddling merchandise, investing in factories, ship builders, and the like. If there was profit to be made, the Carnasis family would try to have a hand in it. That all ended when Anthony was only 16 years old, the Carnasis family entered an unfamiliar territory which turned out to belong to a pirate faction who swindled the Carnasis fortunes and killed Martin and Elizabeth. Anthony escaped the system barely, broke, poor and alone.

    Eighteen years later, Anthony has successfully survived his harsh winter and emerged as an opportunistic mercenary merchant who has made a sustainable living for himself. Living by a personal code: 1) Profit is foremost, no decision shall be made which sacrifices profit or incurs cost without the promise of profit in return. 2) The law of the land is to be abide by, except where it interferes with rule 1. 3) Life is not sacred, it is earned and therefore those found unworthy of life may find it lost in the pursuit of rule number 1.





    Initial Plans:Role-play Anthony Carnsis as he enters a new system in search for profit, friends and perhaps family.

    Character Name: Andrew Renhardt (Rickie26k)

    Age: 31

    Species: Human

    Gender: M

    Alignment: Neutral Good

    Bio: Specialist (Engineer) Renhardt of the (Terran) Hegemony Navy was one of a handful of soldiers assigned to a project with which a new strategy for deploying traps was being developed. The original idea was units stationed as sleeper bases hidden undergroundin omnia paratus. For this to work it was essential to cut away supply lines and other interaction which risks exposure to the bases, bar its activation signal. For this to work cryo-technology was used, locking away a full platoon in each project location. Renhardts base was never activated.

    After many hundred years the control system have cut back on power use in order to prioritize competence essential personnel. The control system is faced with critical energy levels and the only option to ensure the continuation of the base is to wake up the appropriate soldiers. As Andrew wakes up the cryo-sleep chambers are almost dark as most other pods have been deactivated, and their lights with them. After shoving the failing automated pod-door he tries to get a grasp of the situation. He soon realizes that the other three engineers are all dead due to failing pods. Following protocol as per training Andrew concludes that the base is beyond any real repair and sets a self-destruct tactical nuclear program to activate.

    With somewhat rusty pilot skills under his belt, Andrew gets one of the shuttles running. Once out in space comm traffic on regular channels is all but dead. He needs to find out what happened to the galaxy he knew and try to establish if he's awakened in a world of friends or foes.

    Initial Plans: Seek contact to gather information, sell engineering and mercenary services to the law-abiding to manage supplies and eventually look for opportunities to explore the remnants of old Hegemony space.

    Character Name: Tydorius Z09 (Tydorius)

    Age: 26
    Species: Human
    Gender: M
    Alignment: Chaotic Good

    Bio: Tydorius is a good natured eccentric, with quite the lust for adventure. This has made him somewhat a jack of all trades. During the past decade, he has served in several minor inter-planetary conflicts as both a soldier and a bomber pilot. In fact Z09 was his call sign while serving. After a brief lul in mercinary work, transportation and freighthauling became the primary focus for quite some time.

    Unfortunately, while Tydorius was on leave in a local sector, his current assigned freighter was attacked by small time pirates and left a burnt hulk lightyears away. Tydorius is left with merely his earnings and hopefully enough components at the station to start anew. He has general ship design and repair knowledge from his time as a soldier working with modular transports, as well as his time piloting and repairing various freighters.

    Initial Plans: Initially, the plan is to either sign onto a shipping company or to construct a ship, shuttle, etc specifically to restabalize financially. From there, any opportunity for adventure and travel will pique my interests. Ephebe sounds promising.

    Character Name: tower (towerbilder)

    Age: 16

    Species: Human ((nonhumans require special permission. Ask First.))

    Gender: M

    Alignment: http://imgur.com/ns8LCLW
    ((players are not required to stick to their alignment constantly, it is just to give an idea of what kind of person they are playing.)) I will vary day to day based on what is going on tending to be neutral to neutral chaotic.

    Bio: ((two paragraphs.))

    Tower is a smart strategic person. which after joining in lots of battles he always became high ranked and often led whole fleets to battle. He has learned how to fight alone against bigger forces effectively.

    he has learned that big amounts of ships don't always do better and, tower tends to work in small teams for sneaking into others space. when big ships or lots of small ships may be seen he has a team who he trains with often. He knows how to fill in hollow hulls to mach my fighting stile.

    ((About me in real life))
    I'm relatively smart for my age I like sports like basketball and I know some programming. I'm not good at good looking ships but give me some hollow hull and I will make the ship work. My ships don't work well with others but that are balanced to work best from me. I will toy around with my own game setting to mach the server to find my balanced ship. I'm good with strategy and letting me command a groop tends to be both profitable and leads to power towards the team.

    Initial Plans: ((what do you plan to do?))
    Join a server work up some rank and lead my team to wealth and power wether by trade or fight.
    Acceptance or needed edits will be sent by PM to avoid cluttering up the main thread.

    Edit: I know what you think of me from chat I'm not like that in game I'm better. Also I'm finding no one remembers me from my war mongering and ruthless destroying days from when me and the fraction I was in following a mad man. If you did you will know I've been getting better over time.

    Character Name: Harvey Demeaou (LDShadowLord)

    Age: 28

    Species: Human

    Gender: Male

    Alignment: Neutral Good

    Bio: Harvey originally hailed from Alpha Quadrant, though waited only 16 years before beginning to travel the solar system. After several years he realised he was running out of money he joined the military until a tragic accident occurred only 2 years after joining the armed forces that left him without a left leg. Without a left leg he was considered to be useless to the military and could not even pilot the most basic of vessels, as such he constructed a cheap bionic arm which now serves as a replacement to his original.

    With better understanding of bionics he started a corporation which specialised in the sale, repair and manufacturing of bionic limb replacements. After becoming bored with bionics he began experimenting with Neural integration to a computer, something which was developed and expanded upon by the military to be used in vessels. Soon after he began work on Vessel Design to pass the time and created several EckAe-Class vessels which were also adopted by the military.

    Several extremists latched onto this fact and began threatening Harvey due to his involvement in these military projects, so Harvey closed this corporation down also and followed a former friend from the military to his last known location to try and get away from the radical extremists that were baying for his blood.

    Harvey has a range of skills that are mostly technical, and has issues doing extensive labour tasks as he is used to comfort and luxury. Harvey is usually predictable and timid, but can be somewhat of a "wildcard" when triggered as his anger seems to come ab intra.

    Initial Plans: I intend to work with a close friend of mine, who already has access to the server and build a corporation together.

    Character Name: Moraligus Manaan (Moraligus) (just go with it, i'm too absent minded to handle two names at once)

    Age: 20

    Species: Handsome (human)

    Gender: M

    Alignment: chaotic neutral

    Bio: prisoner release form number 3682: Mory Manaan. that swashbuckling charming scoundrel was once arrested for grazing at the grocery store... only after running from the security guards and then leading the police on a three week chase... hell they even offered to let him go if he apologized to the store owner. man this guy is dense. i don't think he has ever done anything actually illegal he just keeps poking the wrong bear.

    It says here that he is some kind of sobani? from what i know about them they are a small nomadic tribe that cruise around in some makeshift mothership trading and salvaging. He apparently is on a mission to build his own ship so he can bring it back it to his home fleet. he has excellent technical skills but it seems like all the ships we have impounded from him are just giant engines with a couch and some hull attached to it... this kid really likes to go fast. His history is full of holes, never been employed, speaks like three languages, and he is as stupid as he is stubborn.

    So what was he arrested for this time? well it seems that he was helping the the son of some military commander work on his rocket, especially the thrust. the commander was not too happy about that and Manaan grabbed his ship and took off. When the commander caught up to him he locked him up for driving an unregistered star-ship... again. man if this guy would just file the blasted paperwork he wouldn't be in so much trouble but the sobani don't have a bureaucracy or even a universal currency so its easy to understand why he is the way he is.

    Initial Plans: this guy here is probably going to get back to tinkering with his engines and flirting with the local men, he will likely not be a problem until some idiot hooks him up with some high performance parts...

    Character Name: Alordon Suntakmee (Alordon_suntakmee)

    Age: 33

    Species: Human

    Gender: M

    Alignment: Chaotic good


    Bio: Among one of the countless colonies within the Ephebian Cluster, Alordon was born and was orphaned right after his mother gave birth to him. Living aside the dangerous slums of the colony he was born in, he was roaming the derelict abodes of citizens passed when a outlaw slave trader hiding in the buildings snatched him from one of the doorways. Meaning to sell him among other captives he had his plan was interupted when a traveller passed by and enacted justice upon the slaver in front of Alordon's face. The first ounce of ravage justice Alordon had seen, he was inspired by this man. Alordon asked after the traveller, but the man only said one thing while walking away; "Remember the Suntakmee's." Many years later when Alordon's chance to leave the colony was to work for less then reputable people, he rode along on a mercenary ship bound for a planet where the work was to carry out an Assassination contract. In the mess hall he overheard the mercenaries talking about the hit where he heard one word that had echoed in his mind for many years. Suntakmee. He knew what he had to do, taking up the utensils meant for his food, he smashed and carved through the mess hall, painting the room with blood fueled by nostalgic reverance. Not knowing how to pilot the ship, it soon was picked up in Suntakmee space by one of the family members. Washed and initiated, the Suntakmee's accepted Alordon as one of their own. He then became known as Alordan Suntakmee, the family's Enforcer, Living by the motto "aut viam inveniam aut faciam".

    Initial Plans: work on building the suntakmee family with a friend who is already on the server and one that is joining.

    Character Name: Ramtex Suntakmee (Ramtex)

    Age: 26.

    Species: Human.

    Gender: Male.

    Alignment: Chaotic Good.

    Bio: Ramtex was born of house Suntakmee to Lord Voro and Lady Rio, both of who where the founding magnates for the self create transportation company "STIG" (Suntakmee Intergalatic Transport Group)
    Growing up in a galaxy riddled with war an conflict, he was trust into training at an early age, many believe he was robbed of his real childhood as he took command of his first small fleet vessel at age 15 under strict direction of his father. The Suntakmee family wore a strict code of honor and loyalty on their sleeves and paraded their integrity around like a badge of revelry. Eventually the empire created by Voro Suntakmee was taken apart by jealousy, greed and a long and drawn out plot to create a complete coup d'etat on his life work, and then his own life.
    Ramtex was on route back to his families home planet when he got the news. Under the advisement of his close friend Alordon, Ramtex did not return to his family wealth but chose to take his closest allies to create a new empire for the families future.
    Due to the events of this past, Ramtex Suntakmee is quick to judge and slow to trust and any trust that is gained can be lost without much effort.

    Initial Plans: Establish an independent Suntakmee family empire.

    Character Name: Jerry Assasin (assasinkiller007)
    Age: 30
    Species: Human
    Gender: Male
    Alignment: Neutral
    Born to an assassin family, Jerry was ridiculed from childhood. Him, unlike the rest of his family, did not aspire to become an assassin. You see, Jerry was the type of kid who wasn't extremely athletic, unlike the rest of his family. At the age of six, Jerry was disowned and lived with his grandparents. At the age of 12, his grandparents died in a accident. With an unloving family, and disowning parents, Jerry was forced to live in an orphanage until his adult years. Once in his adult years, his parents still unloving, he was sold as a slave and sent to the Ephebian Cluster, where he worked as a ship maintainer. There, he learned to drive and build a spaceship. Eventually, he would run away from his slave owners, and there is where he is today.

    Initial Plans: I intend to work with a close friend of mine, who is already in the server.

    Character Name: Natalya Jalba (Natalya_Jalba)
    Age: 29
    Species: Human
    Gender: Female
    Alignment: Neutral

    Growing up in the 'family' was no picnic, sure every convenience and opportunity was afforded to and taken by Natalya, a life of crime does come with benefits, however a price must be paid.

    Natalya's father was a strict old bastard who instilled the virtues of honour and obedience; one must serve the 'family' as he put, with 110% devotion. Gerard Jalba wasn't what you would call a loving father, Natalya theorized once that having children was an efficient means to providing crew and henchman for Gerard's ever expanding empire of crime, the 'family'. The inner circle of the Jalba Syndicate or as the local press called it 'The Family' consist of its patriarch Gerard and his brothers Dimtri and Viktor, after that a long and twisting extended family with crimes ranging from bribing and kidnapping to outright piracy.

    Natalya wasn't what you would call talented, at least not in cunning manipulation and underhanded practices her family were a part of. What she excelled at in fact loved was combat and the pursuit of victory; to work hard, overcome and win was satisfying and a reward in itself. Although she respected her fathers strength and his philosophy of "You want it? Take it" she hated his methods and with the proposition to become CSO of BlackLine Corporation from her longtime acquaintance Sid Varl she saw her way, a clean way... and she would take it!

    Initial Plans: Join BlackLine, build a formidable ship and take what I want! (legally of course).

    Character Name: Markus Rogers (bobmarkusbob)

    Age: 32

    Species: Human

    Gender: M

    Alignment: Chaotic Good

    Bio:
    ((The Scene is a Slum Bar, Markus is playing pool.))

    A military man, thats what i am... no... that is what i was.
    Fighting takes it's toll on a man, and the betrayal of those you are supposed to look to, that is even harder. It was supposed to be a clean sweep of an abandoned station, until we were ambushed. We were outmanned and outgunned, surrounded from every direction. When we called for help, the answer was: Give Up. We fought as hard as we could, but as my men started to die, i realized we could do no more. We surrendered, we did our time in the prisons, then we were let out.

    Myself and the men under my command went out separate ways, some went into honest business, others a more illegitimate business. I myself became somewhat of a freelancer. I smuggled here and there, transported particularly "hot" personnelle across the systems, as well as some risky salvage operations. I sometimes worked for the various governments, other times for more private clientele. My more recent affair is a funny story. I got a job to salvage Tano Confederation goods from a wrecked ship, but it was a set up. It turned out that we walked right into a Tano trap. We were arrested, booked and my ship auctioned off to the highest bidder. I knew a guy who pulled some strings and got me and my crew released, but we decided to go our separate ways. Turns out the highest bidder was my "guy", so i guy my ship back, the good old Genii Cucullati. The "guy" who helped me out died a few weeks ago, and long story short i ended up here. So i have a question for you... got any "cargo" you need shipped?

    Initial Plans: Freelancing jobs such as Smuggling and Salvage.
