[Game] [OOC] Into the Black (Firefly-verse)

[Exile]

Well, I'd like Ghel and Sarlon to weigh in on the ship model if at all possible.
Here's the possibilities that have been mentioned thus far:

As to the ship's name I have a couple of suggestions;
Dān lì, (translated from Endeavour, Captain James Cook's first command http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Cook)
Astroner (or some variation adding an adjective) (sci-fi update to one of the most common ship names of Earth-That-Was)
The Ally (a reference to Alliance origins and also a friendly name to put people at ease)
Deucalion (the name of Prometheus' son, Prometheus here refering to the ark ship that settled Burnadette my character's homeworld)
The Illustrious (ok I might be spitballing here)
Josselyn (feminisation of the series creator's name, definitely spitballing now)

Ok, I forgot about all the various ships in Cortex Shipyards Volume I & II. Didn't like anything in Six-Guns & Starships but there's a lot of possibilities in the afformentioned fan books. Anyone who doesn't have them let me know and I can e-mail them to you.
For those who have them (or when you get them from me) I personally like the following vessels;
Volume I:
DC-88 Drake (p.39, probably paint over the Lady Liberty)
Type 413 Class Midbulk Transport (p. 130)
Type 593 Class Cargo Sledge (p. 131)
Volume II:
Narwahl (p.33, but only if we call it the Midnight Bacon Express!)
Raptor/Ripper Class (p.34)

Another possibility is the ship from "Freedom's Flight" chapter 2 of Serenity Adventures from the table top RPG.

...Am I really the only one who came up with suggestions or did I just arrogantly overlook someone else's suggestion?

All right, well, we need to nail down what the ship is and what it's called, so we at least have those figured out.

I'll work on having the opening IC post up later today/tonight.

[Exile]

I'm still ready. Last I recall we had the ship model and name down to a few choices, but not really chosen yet.

Pretty much sums it up.

[Ghel]

I'm still ready for this game. As for the ship, I have not a clue, nor would my character.

[Sarlon]

Are those the kinda signs you mean?

I'm still game for this game. And talk with exile, hes the tech expert

[Jay 2K Winger]

Okay! Sorry this game got stalled by furloughs and whatnot, but let's have a show of hands to confirm who's still up for this game?

Post a sign that you're ready to continue, and refresh my memory on what ship you guys settled on, and I'll get to work writing up our introductory post for an IC thread, which should go up as soon as I hear back from you guys.

[Sarlon]

for a 3 day week I've got a lot crammed in as well, so no rush.

[Chanlin]

No worries, just was more curious if we were still going forward or not. Don't rush on my account.

I just started a new job myself, so I have a lot less free time than I have had these last couple months.

[Jay 2K Winger]

Despite the fact that I theoretically should have more free time with my being furloughed, I haven't had the time to sit down and plan out the opening post to the adventure. I have a general idea, but it's still a matter of sitting down and writing it.

Hopefully I should have that time later this week.

[Chanlin]

So? Is anything happening with this?

[Exile]

If we haven't gotten any other bites from interested parties by next Sunday, I'll throw up a quick gun-hand type to fill the role.

Have you tried posting on other forums, I know there were once some good Firefly/Serenity rpg forums. (Having a hard time finding a good one anymore, but http://stillflying20216.yuku.com/ and http://browncoatsafireflyandserenityrpg.yuku.com/ seem fairly promising thus far.)

[Chanlin]

The Raptor could be made to work, but it would need to be modified for extra crew space

[Exile]

Really? Out of those suggestions I'd go Freedom's Flight, 593, Raptor, or maybe DC-88...

[Chanlin]

If I had to choose out of those I'd say the DC-88 or the 413. Though the DC-88 almost feels like we would be cheating... just a little...
