I am declaring myself lore master of Solar Plebian. Gonna crank out some lore tonight.

In keeping with the spirit of the source material I am not checking anyone else's work first and doing whatever I want. :getin:

is Ryan Archer literally a retard?

Nope, he's a very stupid person whose only talent is lying to himself.

You're gonna have to sort that out with Samizdata. Long as you work off the canon, we won't have to get Stimperial on your rear end.

quote:

Your eyes drag open in the eerie pre-dawn quiet of a Stimperial prison cube as your thoughts at once emerge incomprehensible and clear among the formless roiling dark and are born again and suffocating under the cold stone bosom of a surrogate mother. You remember. You are a Goonrathi. You are - were - a decorated fighter pilot, but you can't remember why. All that is now foreordained is your tenuous rank among the Stimperian damned.

Before capture, you were living in exile as a "Plebeian" in a "Sperg" controlled system. The reasons for this exile lurk beyond the intractable darkness, curtained behind your mind you cannot see and to which you have no ingress. But for dreams. A muted, muffled song at the edges of your hearing. Somewhere, the voice of God, a sounding horn, calling.

Calling.

The Spergs are an intolerable community of miscreants, and so the roving blind are easy enough to hide among. And it is among the sheep that your fleeing found its end. These are haughty, pretentious, ignorant pseudo-intellectuals, in every direction, at all hours, who think QUITE highly of themselves. But in the stone fields of the waking world they can hold no quarry. These lost but faithful souls outdare the aspect of their shortcoming as Salem did the devil's workmen: Commitment to the sounding drums of alternate reality immersion technology and so quiet all the other drums. Without a means to plumb their inner dark, and in its finding rout it out, they drift a softened herd among the chaos of the world. They are lost.

And are we so different?

The Stimpire is a brutal, imperialist, warfaring gala-nation whose unprecedented dominance is yet unrivaled in the 'Laxy. They take immense pleasure in war, conquest, and inflicting pain upon the conquered. They have recently invaded your system and wiped it with the Sperg's intolerable asses. Turns out the Spergs are better at buying space ships than piloting them. You couldn't help but crack a smug smile against the sight of their systematic annihilation as you waged your own battle from behind the cockpit. In a valiant, courageous 1-man effort against the Stimpire's insurmountable force (this will be the Intro mission and act as tutorial), you were captured, but not without inflicting heavy losses on the Stimpire elite and gaining notice from the Stimperor. This is the only reason you're still alive and relatively well cared for: You are a Space Gladiator, captive of the Stimpire, your only chance for survival will come from behind the yoke of your ship.

You see, the only thing the Stimpire likes more than inflicting pain upon the weak and helpless is gladiatorial games. In Stimperial terms, to waste your skills as a brutal, devastating pilot would be utterly perverse. Instead, you must do battle in the Stimperial Ramming Arenas and fight your way up the ranks. If you reign supreme, you will be granted freedom by the Stimpire, and will forever be heralded in the annals of their immeasurably brutal and amateurishly penned history.

Will you take the helm, Plebeian? Will you rise to glory and freedom? Or will you die catteless and alone in the cold mire of the damned, to the roaring of your captors' applause?

I think the Stimpire should just be some white-shirted office guy with a regulation tie, slight comb-over, a disappointing attempt at a moustache, and a rather confused look on his face because he just never seems to be able to convince people that the Stimpire is not all that it's cracked up to be.

I dig this twist. Everything we've read about the Fourth Stimpire is entirely propaganda because they're sitting on some sweet space resources. And even though it's totally over the top, and nobody in their right minds would believe a word of it, everyone still does and demands we exterminate them. It reminds me somehow of CIG.

He's like a serial killer. Knows we are on his tracks so he comes up with ways to throw off the scent.

We are dealing with a retarded genius.

I found a picture of that sun in an article about NASA studying the sun on isciencetimes.com but it doesn't actually credit NASA for the image, and tbh it's pretty unlike most of the pictures I've found in the Solar Dynamics Observatory gallery...

The Fourth Stimpire: it's the guys who have the regular, low-maintenance, coffee machine rather than the contraption that serves up over-cooked pipe-sludge.

Imagine there's no Roberts
It's easy if you try
No spy behind us
Above us only cry
Imagine all the people
Playing Elite today...

Imagine there's no Sandi
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to hate or cry for
And no shaving too
Imagine all the people
Playing Elite in peace...

I am having a hard time imagining there's no Sandi but I will keep trying

The sun is usually noisier. I'm guessing it's a stylised paint over.

Goonrathi: Think millenium falcon in terms of weathered, stitched together but reliable/performant/functional ships.

Sperg: Ultra slick, super-luxury ships obsessed with outward appearance, superfluous flashy crap, with no consideration about how they'll fly or perform.

Stimpire: Menacing, sleek, alien, dark, bent on destruction, etc.

Presenting the newest part of the Sperg fleet, the B�ring B-70 Light Cruiser!

I was really inspired by beet wagon's post with the awful kitbashed B-17

This is the scout ship design, with a camera in the nose. My goofy idea for Sperg ships is that their designation would be wildly inflated, like a bomber is called a Dreadnought, a cargo ship is called a Battlecruiser, etc.

I hope it reaches him. I mean, that's pretty inspiring stuff, I might even challenge myself because I've been procrastinating for ages.
