Storyline Suggestion

Fri Dec 09, 2005 8:07 pm by blackhole

This is where everyone who wants to contribute to the storyline can post, debate, edit, and finalize the Openlancer main plot and sub-plots!

Setting: After the colonies had the nomad threat removed, we began to further explore some of their systems. We found a new are of systems that has been designated the "Centauri Sector". It is much close to sol and is located between Alpha Centauri and Proxima Centauri.

You begin on the second colony ship to this area, it is 4 months after Trent has saved us all.

Main Characters: You play Dan Korban, a colonist from Liberty looking for a new life.

Main Plot: <on page 5>

Sub-plots: -DarkFleet subplot cut-

Is this going to be an after FL story?

Because I have a story allreaddy written up if you wanna look/use at it.

That depends. I certainly want to continue the FL storyline, but voices are an issue in that case.

EDIT: Wow, an octuple post o.O

Dunno why you had 9 posts saying the same thing

. If I might make a suggestion, voice work issues would require (and honestly I think it would be better) to have a post-freelancer based story have all new characters, who only know of the famed Edison Trent.

Yes, that would be good. Or we can have it take place in a previously unexplored area (seeing as we can't use FL content) thats been colonized and the stories from FL are still fresh. Now, we have the setting! Who agrees with me?

The "other" colonies... I can do Russian accents ifneed be... lol

Could have a similer concept as FL with Liberty Kusari Bretonia ect... But with diffrent names and more houses... And a diffrent back story.

Then again, why do we need a plot? If this will be primarily an MP game, why have a plot?

...........

You ALWAYS need a plot! And i like the other idea better than "the other houses" because it ties into freelancer much better and makes the player feel more "at-home".

Ok, so basicly... A story that FL players can relate to, without breaking US law... LOL

Thats do able.

updated the story. As you can see, we still lack some good main characters, as well as a plot.

This all sounds great; only one little thing I just can't go with... "Dark Fleet"? Please, please, please do not use this name. Just sounds so generic. I've got tons of empires, post-Sol civilizations and solar-system-ruling cultures I'll gladly share

Well, tell me to write somethin, and I'll have it written by tomarrow 10:00 PM EST.

Well go ahead, but we have many writers that should contribute here. What we need to figure out is our overview of the plot. Who is the back guy, whats he doing, where is he doing it, when does all this happen, why is he doing it, and how can we stop him?

Lets figure that out first.

So who is our bad guy? NO NOMADS! We might go with the coalition returning, since many people like that kind of a storyline despite its lack of creativity, or we can go with something different.

And i was just using Dark Fleet because its a clan, and it would be cool to have a clan intertwined with the storyline.

*bangs fist on table* I speak for 20 million people when I say we need an Australian Colony!

We could have for baddies, another alien race, who were an ancient alien ally of the Dom Kavosh, who want revenge since humans destroyed the Nomads.

It should be set in the future, with Trents son and daughter having to travel out of Sirius with whats left of the Order, to find the Dom Kavosh before thr other Aliens destroy Sirius.

What about not having it about some very, very large threat?

For example, the Sirius colonies could be sending new colonization ships to new sectors. The "old" Houses can still remain, but can at the same time be very different.

Diffrent enough so we aern't slapped with lawsuits... lol
