This is a preliminary interest thread. The game, if enough players express their interest, will be a first generation Macross game, taking place during Space War 1. The characters will start on Launch Day and fight through the war against the Zentradi.

This game will not be restricted to canon. Characters can and will affect the outcome of the battles. Nothing is written in stone. Please post your interest here.

Note - This game will begin once the AvP game wraps.

Sounds interesting. After AvP I'll be up for this

I'm interested.

Hey! Hey! Same here

That sounds like fun.

does sound tempting.. let me see where I stand, and I'll give a definitive answer. ^^; if I'm not in time.. ah well.

Wow...

I didn't expect this kind of turnout. Awesome.

The game will be starting right after I wrap AvP. However, please begin making your characters and we can get the nuts and bolts out of the way and be ready to rock when the game opens.

The game will be starting on Launch Day and the characters are all assigned to the Black Knights, one of the VF squadrons assigned to the SDF-1. For background information, the UN Spacy is made up of pilots and soldiers from both sides of the UN War. The UN War ended less than a half-year before Launch Day.

Do you wanr us to post the character ideas to the Joining Board or do you want them by IM?

Hey! I know I'm nuts but it's not a reason to get me out of the way! And who're the bolts anyways?

...

or not

Is it too late to express interest? I'd like to throw my hat in this ring, if I could.

Roger!

What rule set are you using Cobalt?

I'm using a modified Silhouette system for skill point buys, modified for groups instead of individual skills. And combat has been streamlined to declared actions.

A sample Actions Plaque

Actions: Drop down onto hanger deck and engage officer battle pod with gunpod
Fighter: VF-1 Valkyrie
Mode: Soldier
Weapon of Choice: Gunpod
Special: Veteran of Saturn Rings campaign.

It makes for a more cinematic game.

Hmmm, I'm kind of interested. It looks like a interesting system.

Do you have room for a really rusty old timer?

Absolutely. Welcome aboard.
