I thought you said you were gonna stop? Something about not feeling appreciated?
>>52605100

I always feel bad with CYOAs that have mystery boxes. I picked the brown one and now I feel like cheating if I pick anything else...

>>52605165
>I thought you said you were gonna stop? Something about not feeling appreciated?
I don't recall ever saying anything of the sort.

>>52605158
Understandable, but since SDA's so big on lore and storytelling, I was hoping for a more logical and less meta-balance reason.

>>52605110
Also, and again from a lore standpoint, why doesn't the Federation have a Dreadnought?

Pick a wife on the right, but remember you'll have to meet and deal with her father on the left.

>>52605422
What do I do after I pick a wife?

>>52605396
Like those "would you rather" things, except with more things to choose from, basically.

>>52605354
was joking, dhyana should be a federration ship

>>52605396
Pick an husbando on the left, but remember you'll have to meet and find a way to dump his daughter on the right in a russian boarding school.

Tell me about your WIP.

>>52605494
That's fair. The further I get into making the MGSI, the more I realize that a few logical leaps will have to be made for balances sake.

>Dhyana should be a Federation ship
Oh, okay. Still not taking it, because holy fuck that's expensive, but I'm limiting myself to only Federation ships because story, and wondered why I didn't have the option of a dreadnought.

>>52605494
this what

>>52605100
What more should I add to a waifu cyoa so it's more than a waifu cyoa?

>>52605569
delete it
waifu cyoas are shit

>>52605569
The waifus are actually your debtors

>>52605569
I'd say a CYOA is a waifu CYOA when the waifus are its main focus, so I suppose you'd need to figure out something else to focus one so the waifus can be secondary (at most).

>>52605569
It's not really a CYOA if you don't include an adventure, anon. Give me some story options and world building like hero's journey.

>>52605569
Dogs in outer space.

>>52605569
don't add magical items

add locations, events or special modifiers (general or waifu specific)

add one mystery box, extremely complicated option that says "your waifu is now its male equivalent you flaming homosexual" and one slime girl to please the autists

>>52605528
- Is months away from being finished
- Will no doubt be forgotten two thread s after being posted
but ^ seems to be what happens nowadays with call cyoa. but hey, its fun to work on cyaos again.

>>52605528
fuck off its a secret until I release or delete it

>>52605528
Writing completely done, 3/4th of the images found, editing would be a nightmare, don't have a ton of free time until end of exams mid-May. I'l probably end up abandoning it when I look at it again then and realize it was stupid to begin with.

Re-asking since the thread seems more active now than when it was first asked.

What do you guys think of CYOAs that include elements that give you points of some variety, and then at the end show you a sliding scale of your outcome based on the points you accrued? For example: >>>/d/7349109
>>>/d/7349113
>>>/d/7349118
>>>/d/7349120
>>>/d/7349122

Do you think it limits replayability? Stifles build variety? Or does it encourage you to be more creative, taking options you might not otherwise have considered to make a new build that gets new endings?

>>52605622
>Mystery box
Anon why? I can understand if you want a gay option, but why would you want it as a mystery?

>>52605679
They're shit.

>>52605679
>What do you guys think of CYOAs that include elements that give you points of some variety, and then at the end show you a sliding scale of your outcome based on the points you accrued?
Hate it. CYOAs should be stepping boards for the imagination, not say "haha you lose". It's also why LiminalPhrenic aka. "even if you choose not to play you still get assraped for eternity" is shit.
>Do you think it limits replayability?
Yes. Same thing with every CYOA that uses a mystery box-esque setup.
>Stifles build variety?
Yes. You want the ending that doesn't assrape you meaning you must pick certain options
>Or does it encourage you to be more creative,
No. See last point. You force me to make certain choices = I don't choose

tl;dr is shit

>>52605679
I'm not a huge fan of random elements, and without them people can build towards things, , but I like the idea in theory.

>>52605679
Bad, just like that CYOA is.

>>52605567
Dhyana is the Fed dreadnought.

>>52605563
Ideally you would need a really, really good reason to own a dreadnought. There's probably less than a hundred in existence and that's still a generous amount in my opinion, given the size of the setting.

>>52605569
If you were to ask for me opinion, flesh out the setting more and do more world building. Lots of waifu CYOAs have an extreme lack of this.

>>52605528
There will never be any progress because I never have any extended amount of time off to myself.

>>52605528
I have a few ideas but I don't want to put in the effort because I'm shittypaintanon.

>>52605795
>flesh out the setting more and do more world building.
Elaborato

>>52605795
I would probably consider making a build in which I absconded with someone's dreadnought if weapons/armor still scaled in power with ship size. But since a dreadnought's guns aren't any stronger than a fighter's, I see absolutely no reason to spend that much on a hull.

>>52605688
i wouldnt, thats why i insult people who want them

>>52605679
I think it's great if done properly and that cyoa has it on acceptable level. My first build had little choices because I didn't open the mystery page before doing it so I had no incentive to take more things up my butt. Making the next few builds was much more engaging (fun) so I guess it encouraged some replayablity. Had mixed feelings about rolling my fate but I guess I prefer that over being encouraged to min max my choices.

This method can also function as a nice "stat check" for retards who don't use common sense in their builds e.g. they expect savage orcs to be obedients fucktoys just because they bought them on a slave market and put a leather collar on their necks.

>>52605679
I ignored that shitty cyoa's mystery box. I'm not letting that faggot decide what happens next.

>>52605795
Why is the manufacturer Triglav Innovations then?

>>52605822
compare pick a goddess and vampire king cyoas. Pick a goddess was very long yet so shallow I couldn't make myself finish reading it.

>>52605905
The same reason why the US military uses missiles from Lockheed Martin

>>52605704
>>52605760
>>52605885
Noted.

>>52605714
>>52605854
I definitely wouldn't include any sort of rolling mechanic; you're either capable of pulling it off based on the choices you made, or you're not.

I should also point out that, to the extent that I'm considering including it in MGSI, it's entirely optional, relating only to your attempt to actually be the "Hero" for either side, so if you just plan on living in the world as it is, you wouldn't need to bother with it. I just need some way of measuring whether or not the more adventurous types made the right picks to do the really over-the-top things.

>>52605679
gay

>>52605938
And what is that reason?

>>52605934
I didn't read Vampire King. I got bored. Can you write why Vampire King is better than Goddess cyoa?

>>52605955
Defense contractors.

>>52605955
I don't think it really matters to this discussion, the point is that it's not unheard of for militaries to use civilian created weapons. If you really want to know the minutia I'm sure you can find it in papers about the economics of war.

>>52605822
Pretty much this >>52605934

Lots of waifu CYOAs don't have much of an establishment. You just get to pick a waifu with a brief description and live with some boons and banes, but there's usually no context. Oftentimes it's just "you're you in the modern world," and that doesn't encompass the fact that some people can't live in the real world with a huge titty monster who's yandere and ultimately reliant on you for living conditions.

Ranting aside, if you really wanna make something interesting, focus on the whole CYOA as opposed to having a waifu with a specific fetish to appeal to that one anon who begged you for the option in the thread.

>>52605825
Fighters can't equip Tachyons or larger, have maximum shield ratings, over 25 armour, house a decent amount of drones, sustain a prolonged siege and have much of a political impact either.

>>52605905
Triglav is a Fed military-sponsored r&d and manufacturing company, ala >>52605938

Though, Triglav originally had origins in civilian startups. Now they're pretty much the spearheading r&d company for the Fed military.

>>52606040
Still, a zerg rush of fighters, while not as visually impressive as a dreadnought might be, could accomplish the same military objectives with a lower cost. I see why a government would have a couple dreadnoughts mixed in with its military, but they seem prohibitively expensive for the player.

>>52606071
They aren't effective on their own at all, of course. Cost-value doesn't favour them very much, but in an armada, they can do plenty.

Dreadnoughts are in the CYOA for the players as more of a political reason than anything else. As I've said before, you need a really, really good reason to own one.

>>52606087

But I wanna have a little more than the waifus you know?

That "all yanderes are murderous" is a serious red flag that the author only knows of one kind but I will perservere!

>Age: Younger
It would make sense to be the same, sure, but I would like to experience Young Love, and as a cute female yandere. I understand why I'm fascinated with the First Love stereotype: It's pure, you have no one to compare with. You are each other's first everything. And he doesn't realize that my yan-love isn't """"normal""""
Also I totally want to experience being a pretty teenage girl. Call me an attention whore I don't mind.

>Skin: Light
>Eyes: Light brown
>Hair: Dark brown
Light brown eyes + dark brown eyes is just very attractive to me.

>Breasts: Average
Average is best. The breast size is the one where they fit fit comfortable in his hands.
>Ass: Aw shit
Ass and hips must be wide. Ass is love, ass is life.

>Background: Rich
Lets go with that one. I would love to be a rich pampered girl. It's also better than some of the other ones.
>Personality: Proper and courteous
Most of these are not fun, but this one is at least a little. Will be fun to pretend to be the "good daughter" in public and private, but be, well... not so good behind closed doors...
Lets hope my walls are sound-proof
>Intelligence/Athletics: Average intellect, very athletic
I don't want to undermine my future sempai by being impossibly smart. Being ahtletic is a must: You have to earn that ass, not be granted it with genetics!

>Interests: Art

>Weight: Average
Average weight with that ass and dem hips? Yes please!
>Distinct feature: Magical

This cyoa has a serious lack of clingyness and stalker/obsessiveness. It's my favorite part of beign yan.

>>52606123
nobody stops you from doing that but don't expect people to save your cyoa or even remember its name if you limit yourself to writing down some popular archetypes and adding an option to customize your waifu's breasts size

>Tells: Hyperventilation + Biting her thumb. Also a small part of "coming on to you hard" because that's hot, and "takes photograph" because light stalker
>Weapons: Poisons
I'd rather drugs, but they aren't available

Really I rather not a weapon. I'm more of the self-hating kind of yandere: The kind that knows she isn't good enough nand doens't devserve her sempai. Hving a weapon, and even worse using it, goes totally agains't my natre

How did this happen?

>>52606447
I think part of my problem (from the finance perspective) is that I went with fighters instead of drones. I think it's a stronger play, but it's more expensive.

I'm glad to be almost done so I can move on to a smaller project, like an in-depth yuri CYOA. I think I'll do that one next after I'm done with this GTS cyoa I'm working on right now.

I don't know if it wasn't there before, or I just now noticed it, but now that there's an actual power armor in the CYOA (the OG Mobile suit), do we actually get that for completing "Asunder, Sweet", or is that still just a flavor thing?

>>52605165
>>52605100
Well, since I remember loving this guy's cyoas (even if I'm not into waifus and his three were about that. I'm even less into harems but it was still a unique one), I'll read it again and cheat seeing as I know what the boxes are.

>pink box
Because obviously I'm into THAT. Why would I ever want to get a girlfriend when I can BE the girlffriend?
>Nana
Mostly because I'm an awful person and my personality has to be fixed before I could ever be considered even close to being near to waifu-tier. That last "downside" is a perfect upside for me.
Yukarioko would be fun to have as a dad/mom but meh. Tachi wouldn't be fun to be I already am a boy...

Sayaka has nice boobs but a waifu is more than her boobs.

God dammit I missed most of the Stardust talk. Alright question time SDA.

SDA would you say a single destroyer build focusing on discovering Herald artifacts while taking the odd job or two be fine? Or would say that is something that you would want more or bigger ships for.

Do shields, weapons, and armor scale with ship class and if so how much?

Have you thought about giving difficulty ratings for titles

What's maintenance for ships like? Are bringing in your ship to port every few months high for cost maintenance?

>>52606105
And I'm sitting here trying to work out a thematic Dhyana build, with the Prisoner title(and Demigod), and the idea being that some fragment of the Luos Syndicate stole the thing, and me(Fed spec ops), with the help of the Talons. This fragment likely being some part of their former military intelligence group or something because they knew where the thing was, and knew about Hailey, and Comet. They keep me around because I've got Mind Link and they kind of lack people that can pilot/captain a Dreadnought. It's kind of fun trying to figure out how to set up a Fed ship that may have had a pirate overall done on it. Like I can't decide if it should have Sophocles, which I think would be the appropriate AI for the Feds to have on the ship or for the Luos Syndicate to have replaced it with Lai'na. I'm also trying to decide if I should have a full load of weapons or if it should be a little low with some having either been destroyed or being replaced to fit more in more with what I would think a Luos ship would have. It's fun to figure out this build but I don't think I'll be done with it any time soon.

>>52606903
Mobile suits are different from power armour. More to come in the future.

>>52607025
That sounds doable. In fact, I'd want a ship no larger than a destroyer for that sort of job. Cruiser, maybe.

Shields and armour don't "scale" anymore because the 0-25 system was meant to reflect the old one but in number form. "Very low" to "very high" between 5 different classes means 25 "stats" total. This is just easier to represent in terms of relativity between ships.

On the other hand, weapons don't scale because I found it hard to represent. Instead, I wanted to emphasize that the heaviest class weapons can't be fit on destroyers or lower (minus destroyer spinal mounts). I wanted this to enforce that cruisers or larger were meant for fleet battles where firepower means everything.

No, I want players to determine how difficult the Titles are. I wanted flexibility in interpretations of their conditions; some might see Sleeper as a menace of unrelenting drones that's impossible to fend off, others will see it as a nuisance. I'm fine with either way as long as it's written well.

Maintenance is hard to gauge because it takes in a lot of factors; what your occupation is, who you're fighting and what technology they're using for example. All I have to say is that hull repair drones are only for patch-work temporary jobs and proper maintenance means porting. I would agree that every several months is a good idea, given the complexity of space ships in general. It'd be a good idea to give fighter ships another ship to dock for maintenance though.

>>52607053
This sounds like a very neat backdrop, actually. I would totally recommend Sophocles for even more shenanigans. I wouldn't really think Lai'na would work well on a dreadnought, but maybe you could have both and ship them together.

Joking aside, builds like these are ones I tend to give more leeway. I don't care if you break rules.

>>52606553
Go back to /a/ and stay there

>>52607283
Looking forward to expanded power armor update, then. Fingers crossed.

If I take "Advanced Combat Training" in the main CYOA, would it be reasonable to make a build in the "Soldier of the Stars" DLC to represent my custom skills?

>>52607283
>ship them together
Oh you

Blueberry is still best waifu

>>52607283
Alright thanks.

By the way something I just thought but what is the average human lifespan in Stardust? Considering what the Advance Infirmary is apparently capable of doing I expect that it would be very long.

>>52607384
If you mean you're making "you" in both CYOAs, I would say that, chronologically, the Soldier DLC comes first, then Star Dust. Then Apocalypse.

>>52607393
Lai'na gets flustered if you flirt with her, though.

>>52607450
I actually haven't decided on a solid answer for this. Certainly prolonged compared to what we have today but I would not say immortality even though we'd probably solve "old age" by this time.

Basically, if I were to spit out an answer right now, it'd be a guess. But if you really want solidarity, then I'll just say twice the lifespan of current human beings.

>>52607572
>Then Apocalypse.
Oh?

>Basically, if I were to spit out an answer right now, it'd be a guess. But if you really want solidarity, then I'll just say twice the lifespan of current human beings.

Well I'd better start searching for a Herald artifact that would make me immortal.

How about you just type "It's okay if you take a single ship, even if it's small, and go explore the galaxy, and have adventures with your tightly-knit crew, and solve mysteries, and do mercenary work, and have fun, UNLESS you want to participate in large-scale warfare and bring major changes to the world" so I could screenshot your post and we won't have to make more "SDA hates fun" """discussions""" any longer?

Sockminster, this means you. Any more progress on the Fairy King?

There was a fantasy CYOA recently with light elves, dark elves, and a dark skinned human race that was evil. Also had atypical stats like "Crafting" too.

Does anyone have it? Can't remember the name.

One of the few to discover inter-dimensional travel before being inducted into the Traveler's, Naoya was almost instantly apprenticed to Marco Fulcanelli when he was brought to Ae. A brilliant programmer and expert spellcaster, he created a program that replicated the long and arduous process of 'demon summoning', including automatically forming contracts and storing the 'demons' as data. While they are called 'demons' in his realm, they seem to be mythical creatures and beings from common human mythologies drawn from the infinite multiverses. Other accomplishments include creating a program that relatively equalized the strength of two nearby forces (sadly this doesn't seem to work outside of his home dimension), and binding a demon capable of infinite knowledge storage with a supercomputer that could accurately predict the current location of all molecules to create a system for predicting the future. Named Laplace, this demon/computer hybrid is able to accurately predict all future actions of a closed system as long as it can identify all the molecules, and nothing external acts on it. In layman's terms, it can tell the future of any dimension it is programmed to bar inter-dimensional incidents. Naturally, the Augurs are fairly upset about losing their monopoly on future-sight.

>>52608475

He spends most of his time in Technical, working of the software side as well as helping to reprogram potential AIs or shackled AIs, so they can be truly free. He also works on both Terra D921 to help those he can, using his demons as a 'modified human wetwork' team, and spends time on D731 prepping the software and the people inside of it for transfer, while working on the new system to ensure it lasts a long time with minimal bugs. Oddly enough, he's a devout member of the Post, Trans, Ex & Meta Human Order, bringing unique insights into what it is like to be abandoned by humanity, and working to help many of the members discover a new identity for themselves. After an attempt to start a war against heaven before the Traveler's decided on official policy, he is no longer allowed on Terra-D2342.

Just specifies growth and death, not that it should be of any particular lifeform. Both aspects should be plentiful enough on Earth as it is (and for the nearby aspect, I could probably start keeping some short-lived plants or insects or whatever if I don't have enough life/death nearby already).

I meant to leave it vague because leaving stuff open for interpretation is something I love doing, even if it's kinda dumb. But if you want a concrete answer, I meant for it to be so that you can be sustained on blood alone, and that drinking it will speed up the recovery process.

>>52608679
If you're gonna change/update this at all, can I suggest maybe changing vial to some kind of "You can never fall ill or get hurt" type of object, and have immortality inherent with the patron's favor?
Because if you don't, you're just gonna get a whole lot of Vial+Empty hand+The First.
Also the gods need balancing a bit I reckon. I doubt anyone would pick The Voracious as it's the only one that actually has a downside.

>>52608251
do drones need power sources/energy shields too

>>52609261
We'll probably get a finished version of page 2 first (there might be one or few more WIPs before that, though, depending on how that unreleased bit turns out, and whether Sockminster decides to add more stuff to the page), possibly with some information regarding what page 3 would be about (perhaps with request for suggestions, as it was for the aforementioned second bit of page 2).

Who made the Stardust romance add on? Was it SDA or someone else?

Not gud I'm afraid.

>War of the gods using mortals in a fucked up tournament across realities and civs. Evil gods mostly winning out of bending rules a lot and cheating a little. Good gods mostly fucked up or eaten. Pick a tier of power, from that tier pick a class. Better tiers get chuckload of power and options, but have harsher conditions to win, lower tiers have more limited powers, less options, less potential, or penalties, but have easier objectives.


>Every objective is "harder" than you (and doesn't require to survive in most cases, just complete them). You'll need strats to win even without opposition, asshole NPCs confirmed but not fleshed out. Win your objective, get also a higher reward than the one you could get -in a normal setting-.
>Just because you have a lower tier doesn't mean that you can't fuck up with more powerful tiers with some creativity, even intra tiers there is some rock paper scissors dynamic that you can overcome by using diplomacy, asshatery or again, more strats. Certain classes also excel at certain points in the game, from immediate spawn to last stage.
>Potential to go beyond your objective (and get better rewards), or abandon game at certain levels of power with some classes. Depending on popular strats, expansions and DLC should change the setting. Popular vote and support also decide which side "wins", if anything, since it's left open.

>For the same reason won't post it on pastebin as is. Willing to share some ideas from it here, but would like to make it smaller and leave it kind of open for anon's input.

>Current guidelines for CYOAs aren't exactly to my liking and I don't know which format to use. It has regular elements (like class description, class attriboots, class skills and some skill example uses). Because I don't want the project to die completely I'm currently searching formats for this shiiet, both from older CYOA, current CYOA and other sources (like engineering manuals, videogame mags etc).

What's/who's the Dragonslayer/

Also, seconding what >>52609648
said.

>>52609904
The Dragonslayer is the main character's big fuckoff "sword that is more like a slab of iron".

File: gutscleavingthorughdemonwithdragonslayer.jpg (439KB, 1467x1100px) Image search: [Google]

439KB, 1467x1100px

>>52609904
Dragonslayer is a huge sword wielded by Guts, the main protagonist of Berserk. The sword was originally made by this Hermit/Blacksmith guy to slay a dragon, but it was so huge and too heavy for any of the king's knights to wield, that he was laughed away for making it.

Really, its can barely be classified as a sword. Its too long, to heave, too wide, and too thick to be a sword, more of a huge slab of metal really. Yet Guts is able to wield it with frightening efficiency. When in motion, it creates enough force to easily cleave through all but the thickest of demonic hides.

Further, due to having been bathed in the bkood of slain demons constantly, the weapon itself also exists on the astral plane, allowing the wielder to use it to damage astral entities, like Gods and Immaterial Spirits/Demon.

Basically, its a weapon of such length, girth, and weight that it would give Cloud Strife penis envy

CYOA mechanics. Drones were meant to just be a weapon strapped to wings and given a computer to think, which was originally how they worked. SD 2.0 introduced actual drones to strap weapons to, so it kind of just followed that mechanic.

Lore wise, blame it on the weird merchants at Stardust Space Station.

>>52609820
Most electrical subsystems are down while cloak is active, so ideally the only thing you can do is navigate. You are silent on comms, e-war and drone control.

>>52610016
Mining modules are treated as weapons. They can be fit on weapon hardpoints.

>>52610085
I think I'll do just that. Blame it on them. With my antimatter cannon. A space station shouldn't take much more of a beating than a dreadnought.

>>52610052
>>52610085
Ohhh, do Mining Modules come with a free Laser, or do you have to equip it on them? That brings their price up to 2mil, I think. 3mil if you want 2 lasers on them.

Ivi would be lying if she said she knew what she was doing after falling from the sky but lying long enough to get in and out of places she doesn’t belong is what she excels at and Ivi revels in it. Having lied convincingly enough to enrol in Atlas, Ivi has half convinced herself that she is indeed a ninja in training sent here to sharpen her skills to kill a rare Grimm and has modified her uniform accordingly.

Never shuts up about how “cool” she is or of the terrifying might of her fabricated Grimm, it seems to grow more powerful after every retelling.

I put together a fairly strong mining crew. We go around excavating anything that seems profitable. Upon entering a new system, we send out all the Scouting and Science drones, then as our slow ship goes past them we collect them and the data on the mineral compositions of the planets, at least on the surface. We then use the composition scanner on the flagship to see if there are significant concentrations of high-grade ore. The mining drones are sent out en masse to collect low-grade ore, while the flagship collects the high-grade stuff itself. The huge amount of Production Managers is to ensure our facilities are always running at peak efficiency, and we have two chefs because we have nearly 3,000 people aboard and tastes will differ. I'm a polite person by nature, so something like the AI developing a personality won't be such a huge hindrance. Just be nice and thing should be alright.

All the contracts should help us get off the ground, and all are easy to do with my ship's loadout. Crew is obviously, lots of workers as well as some security and medics.

>>52610807

For a while I was planning a Castlevania CYOA while I replayed the DS games, but progress is slow and I may not ever actually finish it. The basic idea is that you're a vampire hunter from either a normal, Belmont, dark lord, or dhampir bloodline and you make a build based on weapons, power-ups, and abilities from the various games. I'm also trying to work out a "fate" system that would basically help determine your "ending", and the fate points would be altered by your bloodline/weapon/ability choices and the trials you choose for your adventure (things like inverted castle, false lord of the castle, etc, and you're forced to pick three). Still have to flesh things out though, try and think of a few more abilities, and get past the writing and planning stage though.

You have to find that niche spot between "important enough that your death will have an emotional impact" and "minor character who can be killed out without repercussion."

So SDA how much attention would you get for flying a Herald ship?

>>52611268
A lot, but somewhat depends on the size.

Scabs are generally the only ones that are widely available, but even then, someone who spots you in one will likely want to know a little more about you. Anything larger than that is pretty risky. Cruiser and larger pretty much means everyone knows you exist, and Battleship and larger need a really good reason for you to own one. At that point, everyone's keeping a close eye on you. There's only 2 known Motherships in the setting, barring the one you can buy.

Smaller ships are somewhat under the radar but they turn heads nonetheless. Just imagine having been flying your shoddy Hammerhead frigate for years, struggling to get by and then next thing you know, some guy undocks the station with a Herald frigate. At the very least, you'd be interested in wanting to understand why he has a shiny ship and you don't.

>>52611168
I'd be heart broken if I hadn't received my copy Tuesday morning and have since been living beyond space and time as I spend every waking hour focused on the game.

>>52610807
You know SDA I officially think you are annoying now. I know that does not mean anything to you but I had to say it.

First off you constant name faggotry with the anime pics and arrogant comments are a sad constant in these threads, and having watched it and your comments on battlemage 2 I don't think it is an act. You really do have a bit of a superiority complex.

But what really got me to comment is that you are similar to the worst kind of GM who alienates their players because you don't like what they do in YOUR worlds. I understand wanting to improve balance overtime and frankly I don't really care about the exact mechanics of StarDust or anything else, but the explicit reasons you have been giving are infuriating. Having seen almost every update of Stardust I can say that you target certain builds for nerfing, and having seen these builds most were not truly OP, rather they went against YOUR idea of the setting (your idea of the setting is like stale bread I might add). All these builds really did was portray was the desire to be the semi-badass CAPTAIN of a starship, capable of forging their own destiny. I am sorry more did not want to be Admirals or even Commodores and some even had the audacity to be factionless, but honestly I would rather play Solar Inheritance for a Fleet, StarDust was the one you went to if you wanted to be the captain like Captain Kirk or Picard, or even Jack Sparrow (and his OP ship the Black Pearl).

At the same time you adopted Highlanders most annoying trait of trying to extort writteups from your player base, however unlike Highlander you hate even a hint of mary sue in a character (remember we are talking about cYoas), your cyoas are more mechanical and less open ended meaning decent writeups are harder to do, and you really only want characters that fit your ideas for the setting (going so far as to crown a REALLY stupid build the best in BM).

TL:DR
You are Will Ferrell in the LEGO movie

>>52611615

Why is there no way to discount Pulsar ships?

Nettie

Faux was born on Faraday – which means he was born into a world downright determined to get him killed. By the time he could walk, he had to run from mutant monstrosities that had broken through the lines. By the time he could talk, he was reporting sightings of kill-droids on patrol. This upbringing and daily exposure to the cocktail of chemicals that is Faraday’s environment have conspired to make him almost hilariously hard to kill. Years of patching bites and lacerations made him a competent field medic, while a lifetime of operating vehicles and weapons ensure that he can make anything work (and keep it working). He habitually carries an arsenal that could be conservatively considered “worrying”, and is accustomed to turning anywhere he sleeps into an improvised minefield. After finding Nettie while on a patrol, he’s taken to bringing her up as is proper for a young Faradian lady – that is to say, with an appropriate appreciation for superior firepower. Of course, he has made trips to more habitable worlds, which has given him some experience in handling the DMZ known to the rest of the galaxy as civilized society. The fact that he handles it poorly is entirely beside the point.

Oh, I thought they were included in the Beatrice origin. I'll have to add that too.

Going with a Drach from the Royal Complexus so I'll roll my 1d5 before building the character.

>>52611698
Who cares, you'll probably spend more than 7 years trying to get back, you'll be ancient news by then.

>>52608251
What classification would ships like the Milano, the Bebop, or Serenity have? Frigate, right? They seem too big to be fighters, but just a bit too small to be destroyers (the Bebop holds the gang comfortably, but can be piloted by Jet and Spike alone; Peter can pilot the Milano solo; Walsh can pilot Serenity solo, but does need help with maintenance).

>>52611708
Beatrice Origin doesn't even discount their own ships, neither does Hammerhead.

Also, since the Azrael has two manufacturers and Luos Syndicate gets discounts on both, does it get to double-dip?

>>52608446
Pretty good, though my build is too big to post. Jack of all trades with a focus on spellcasting.

>>52611698
Unrelated to anything yet discussed, any chance you could send me some of the backstory and lore of your Stardust world? You seem pretty clear on a lot of little details that aren't explicitly laid out in the CYOA, and I'm very interested.

>>52611632
I hope it becomes one but I did sadly write that whole thing.

Why would anyone take The Space Cowboy? Seems like with a big enough bounty on your head, trying to do anything but run away would be fucking suicidal unless you're running around in a battleship or two - SOMEONE out there certainly has one, and wants the money. I mean, being an outlaw a la Firefly or first-movie Han Solo is survivable; this doesn't seem like it is. Everyone loves money, after all, and anyone you work for - especially if it's unofficial - will be sorely tempted to turn you in rather than pay you.

It is a really dumb drawback. Even with a faction you are just screwed, and forgot being able to fight those sent after you they will just have the right type of ship/squad to deal with you. I might be doable with a stealth ship but even then it is really hard.

>>52611720
Fair enough.

>>52611742
Honestly all three would probably be in a class between fighter and frigate. Fighters are just single cockpits (maybe with a co pilot) but frigates are too big for any of those.

I contemplated on having a corvette class for this but I suppose you'll have to settle for a small frigate.

>>52611743
Oh yeah, I forgot Beatrice does drones.

I think most exploration builds don't really need hull discounts for Beatrice or Pulsar, since they likely aren't stocking up on an arsenal of weapons.

>>52611776
Most of it's in my noggin, I've abandoned the word doc I use. The setting's just everywhere as it is.

I've tried to consolidate at least the faction histories in page 5, but I think you'll be able to pick up more details in the quest I wrote. I'm also not done with the setting, so perhaps you'll find out more in the future. Otherwise, you're free to ask for my input any time.

Also going to be doing some stuff that happened in the past.

>>52611839
I never really put much thought into the title other than that people could write their own reasons to why it happens. On review, I kind of agree that it's a bit much.

I intended for it to be something more akin to Firefly. I think I'll rewrite it a bit to emphasize that the bounty is somewhat unjustified and that there's still a good amount of entities out there who'll do you good.

>>52611922
I think with the right faction you'd be on good terms. As I've said above, I didn't intend for it to be that crazy.

For example, the Blackhawks would probably pledge to keep you safe if you have good standings with them. Depends on the friends you make.

>>52611806
I hope this becomes a pasta, too.

>>52612043

I still don't know if they are a guy or lesbian girl. If a guy they are probably not that attractive, but not unattractive either. A sort of maddening plainness that sees him ignored in general but thinking he is better than most of us degenerates. If a lesbian I would say not overweight with a decent face but not beautiful either overall 6-7 out of 10.

Stardust updates as I'm rewatching Battlestar Galatica. I feel like the universe is trying to influence my build.

>>52612171
Is attention-whoring the correct term then?

>>52612129
What exactly does The Whisperer entail? Does the AI become truly intelligent in the end like Uplink?

I really wish I could take 3 titles so I could pick The Space Cowboy, The Whisperer, and The Demigod. It seems just wrong that the ship's AI WOULDN'T wake up dealing with those two, but I can't give up The Space Cowboy - my instinctive reaction whenever I see a spaceship is "where/s the rust?" I blame watching Firefly and Cowboy Bebop as a kid.

>>52612160
I'd fuck him. Not because I want to, but because I think he needs it

You're free to take extra titles without taking the rewards of the extras. At least, I'd be okay with that if you just want the writing prompt.

Good to hear. Space Cowboy's one of my favourite titles.

I'll be posting another update sometime within the next hour or so. Hopefully it'll be the last for the CYOA and we can put it to rest; this small string of updates was meant to be the final closure.

They're like the exact opposite.
You are the most Australian Canadian on the planet.

…And The Scientist is the most Canadian Australian on the planet.

Odd.

Long-lost twins? Swapped at birth? Hmmm.

Can't decide whether to take the PI Vd3 or the X33 Tribe. Since the PI is built for deep space exploration it would make more sense for my build based around searching for Herald artifacts. On the other hand the X33 Tribe looks cooler and is better built for combat. I'm almost tempted to say no to both and take Carapace instead for that sweet bonus to the Mana Core.

>>52612301
By the way SDA if I wanted to give someone I built with Star Soldier training in how to fly a fighter how much would that cost?

>>52612301
Oh good, now it's not a death sentence. Still worded a bit awkwardly, though. How's this sound:
>Someone at least somewhat important really doesn't like you, and they've made that knowledge public. Anyone who wants to get in good with them or already has a grudge against you will be coming after you, armed with the knowledge there's a fat bonus waiting for them should they succeed.

>>52612330
Don't be ridiculous. Their gender is Herald Mothership, and you should check your human-technology privilege.

So for the Tier 4 reward for Mining King Steve do we keep the upgrades? The wording of it implies we don't.

>>52612412
For destroyers, I'm a fan of the Tribe. It's just a good, all around ship that can do pretty much anything without the whole "mighty fine ship you've got there, I'll take it" problem that herald ships have.

>>52612238
She's just a lonely, crazy girl.

>>52612129
>I think most exploration builds don't really need hull discounts for Beatrice or Pulsar, since they likely aren't stocking up on an arsenal of weapons.

The PI Vc9 has 24 weapon slots, even just filling them all with Machine Guns is 25mil. All the rooms a proper exploration vessel needs is like 50mil, plus hull mods so your exploration vessel doesn't take ages to reach places. Then there is crew.

Normally this isn't a huge thing, but a lot of the missions kind of get in the way of going on deep space exploration, so doing them makes no sense. As well as many of the Titles, going exploring can be seen as ignoring the drawbacks from them. Though this does give me a few ideas, hmm. I'll see if I can cobble together a working build for an exploration vessel.

>>52612382
Says in the description; one's owned by the Feds and one's -rumored- to be owned by Pulsar. As for any others, their owners are either really good at hiding an 8.6km ship or they haven't been discovered yet.

>>52612412
For spelunking, I would stick with the PI Vd3 as it has a larger hangar, meaning more things can be done. You can spelunk with the Carapace effectively but you're likely to attract more unwanted attention with it. If you go with the latter, you'll need good escape mechanisms or good support vessels alongside the Carapace.

I would go with 2m per skill, as that's what it costs in Star Dust.

>>52612444
Really like that description more, actually. Thanks, I'll write something closer to it.

>>52612452
You do. Reading it now, I realized I fucked up the wording. I'll fix that.

>>52612455
Tribe is good but that's true. I would usually stick the Tribe as a more combat-oriented vessel.

>>52612479
I want to give explorers a bit more leeway, so I'll see what can be done with those vessels. Though, I don't think a mere 4m off of the hulls would really improve much. Perhaps I'll cheapen the exploration-centered rooms.

>>52610236
Do you have to buy each lense individually? Like if I had 10 mining drones and wanted them all to have Mark 2 Lenses, would that take 20mil?

>>52612514
Oh, whoops.

Hmm.

On a scale of the Empire from Star Wars just prior to the events of Rogue One, to the United Federation of Planets just after the Borg Wars, how strong is the Federation?

>>52612539
You'll have to buy lenses individually.

>>52612548
Compared to other settings, Star Dust is rather small scale. What you see on the map is what the "civilized" galaxy looks like, and that's just a few dozen systems colonized at most.

Currently, they only have several dozen dreadnoughts in commission (no more than 60, likely less after the Luos war).

Their most populous planet, New Terra (of the New Terra system, I know), most likely doesn't exceed 50 billion people.

>>52612598
So while there's no risk of them being toppled or destroyed by the various other factions, those factions could, if they wanted to, probably make it literally impossible for the Federation to attack a particular person who wasn't in Federation territory?

Made some more OC for you guys, from just some random thought I had. Don't worry; the RPG and God roommate cyoas are coming up soon. Just need to learn more about mythology.

>>52612614
Remember that the Blackhawks are also a huge menace that, while operates independently, collaborates with them closely. In comparison they're likely only 30% as powerful.

On their own, yeah, they could be matched in a projected assault. Not to mention that most opposing entities are likely more to resort to guerilla tactics, so the Federation is generally afraid to prolong an engagement outside of their safe space.

>>52612633
Fufufufufufufufufu.

I must go. My builds need me.

>>52612633
How well does the federation patrol its own territory? For example, if I were to take the Sleeper or the Space Cowboy and I was aligned with the federation, how safe would I be while inside federation controlled space?

>>52612514
I'm trying to make a deep space exploration build, my current funds are 364/390mil, and I just finished decking it out with weapons. Though that is partially because I took a few thematic choices. I suppose I'll have to run a few missions before I set off on my journey.

Is there a minimum crew size for Frigates? As in, let's say a group of 12 people on a Venture somehow found an abandoned Rhino or S47 or something; could they split up and pilot both of them?

>>52612633
Is it still true that if you have the relevant skills, you don't need to hire a crew member for that slot? Say, if I have Ship Gunnery, I don't need to hire a Gunner?

This is the end, my only friend, the end.

You know there really needs to be another energy system for fighters. Two days really isn't enough time for for scouting but the only other option of 50m for 12 years isn't really practical.

Depends on how close you are to important trade hubs or the capital. Close to them and you'll probably be in relatively safe hands, but you'll find action outside of a single jump from heavily patrolled areas.

There are regular patrols all around Fed space, but a good bounty hunter likely would wait for an opportunity. The space police still takes time to get to you if you manage to sound out an SOS, and in that time, you'd better hope they have something left to save.

I'm reducing prices on the Laboratory, Terraforming Bay and likely a little on Scientist crew members.

>>52612745
I remember specifying that only destroyers and larger need to be 50% filled because you could theoretically pilot a frigate alone, ala >>52611742

>>52612773
Yes, but "you" can only occupy one profession outside of piloting. I swear I specified that somewhere on the CYOA, but I'm not seeing it.

Ideally you can only occupy jobs that you can multitask with, though I wouldn't be opposed if you were to get someone else to pilot the ship and you could take on a different job.

The idea is that fighters need to be docked frequently, Having a bigger vessel to dock your fighter is a good idea to recharge those cells.

That said, I don't know why I specifically settled for 2 days. I wouldn't be opposed of going up to 8 days on a full charge.

>>52612619
If we're going to be killing people anyway, might as well do some good with it. Grand Magus, but only use super-scumbags as batteries.

>>52612814
Would those rules sync with the rules for "Controllers" under crew archetypes, that say they can count as x3 crew slots? If I have Mind-Link, can I act as Pilot, Gunner, and E-War Director simultaneously, since I'm plugged directly into the ship and not occupying a station on the bridge?

>>52612781
So, you choose The End?

>>52612831
And how would you combat the other problems mentioned in that option; specifically, those who will get a copy of your power?

>>52612814
>That said, I don't know why I specifically settled for 2 days. I wouldn't be opposed of going up to 8 days on a full charge.
8 days sounds much better.

>>52612880
Are disciples mandatory? I thought we could give them equivalent powers if they wanted it, but we didn't necessarily have to agree.

>>52612910
Crap. I might have forgotten to put in that detail. Nevermind then.

>>52612843
I wouldn't be opposed to that. I swear I wrote this rule somewhere on the CYOA about this.

I'll have to put these rules somewhere.
