Unlike other vessels and bases in STAB, Starbase 11 is a sandbox-style forum based game
Q: What kind of gameplay is it?
A: Are you the type of player that enjoys writing, creating NPCs and side-arcs? Here you will have all the time to do just that.
Starbase 11 will have main themes, main storylines and major events. It is up to you how much you will be ACTIVE or REACTIVE in these over arching themes. Please discuss with your GD your preference.
The gameplay will be slower than chat-based, as there are no timeslots to follow. However if you feel you do not have the time to devote to the game, just remove your character from being ACTIVE to REACTIVE and write at your own leisure.
In the end, we truly are making this up as we go along, so just have fun with it.
Q: What kind of stories can I tell?
A: As long as your story makes logical sense within the STAB universe and the main theme of SB11, you may tell every story imaginable. Of course, as with every other ship there are limits. You must obey the chain of command and consider other players.
Depending on how ACTIVE you want to be, your GD might even let you take the lead when it suits.
Q: What does this mean for attendance and timeslots?
A: It means you play whenever it suits you and your amount of participation in Major events is up to you (please discuss with the GD how much you wish to be involved, or whether you just want to be part of the sandbox and purely react to Major events)
Q: How to play?
A: Starbase 11 is large, and has large planetside facilities and an orbital facility currently being recommissioned by SCE. Pick the planet or the station, or both. Introduce your character and keep a seperate thread with your character stats and for logs that would otherwise not fit into the forum game itself.
Discuss with your GD what you want to do with your character and pre-discuss any major events you have planned for them, so the GD may be aware and plan it into their own story also.
Your own story can be loosely related, as in a large forum roleplaying game many characters inhabit a huge world. Your story can also be closely related, as in a game where all characters know each other. and interact.
Q: How do I interact with other players (non NPC)?
A: To prevent thread bloating and delays, all interactive logs with more than one player should be in the form of a "joint log" and prepared before posting.
