  • What is going to happen in your plot?
    The Duke and Esis try to assassinate, maim or otherwise annoy a minor Crime Lord. They get captured (thread 1). They have to escape and steal a ship (thread 2).
  • What other players will be a part of this?
    @Richie B. I shall also seek out a DM for thread 2
  • Where are all the places (if more than one) that your plot will be taking place?
    A Backwater Bar; Crime Lord Lair (Generic/unimportant locations)
  • Please provide a basic in-character timeline of what you expect to happen.
    1) Characters meet; Esis convinces the Duke to give her a ride to get her into the lair; infiltration and capture.
    2) wake up in dungeon; escape (what happens in the middle at the discretion of the DM)
  • What do you or your character hope to achieve with this plot? What is the "end-game"?
    They take a ship full of spice and sail off into the sunset. The Duke takes the ship and Esis the contraband
  • Do you need any involvement of canon NPCs or faction leaders to be DMed by a staff member? If so, please detail who/what and for what purpose.
    No, thank you

Hey there!

Alright so this is a good start but it's nowhere near enough is the honest answer - you've got an IFF Spoofer and a groundsweeper light cannon on this thing, on top of all of it's other armaments

Now a spoofer takes a 2 thread plot on average - as does a groundsweeper. Advanced tech ships vary but two to three is average. with that in mind I'll say I'm not comfortable with getting all three in one plot with only one thread that has any kind of threat to it.

That in mind - I'd ask for at least 4 extra threads;

Thread 1 - Still get captured, no dm or dice needed
Thread 2 - Still escape but with a basic ship
Thread 3 - Space battle to escape local pursuit (Recommend Dice)
Thread 4 - Land to make repairs to find the port belongs to allies of the man you stole from, beat them and fake an 'all clear' message (Dice/DM)
Thread 5 - Let the boss land in the target ship, ambush, kill and steal the ship (Dice/DM)

How does that sound?

Thanks
I hadn't considered the component parts. I'm more interested in getting a ship rather than that particular one - more about getting into the ooc experience of running plots. (I just went through the already approved ones and picked the closest)

If I swap out the ship for a standard ship with smuggling compartments, how would you feel?

Standard ship with smuggler compartments? Make thread 1 dice (see how banged up you get during capture for example) and keep thread 2 DM and that's fine - just link which ship you want
