Basically I was quite unimpressed with the lack of single-player storyline and was wondering if any-one would be interested in a long-term RP-match, basically taking the small amount of lore and playing it out to see who wins.
I'm still contemplating the specifics but for sure you'd have 4 teams (Advent, Vasari, TEC and The Unknown) and as I see it at the moment, 5 star-systems (very much up to debate). Starting with 4 actual players with and few defensive-easy ai and replacing ai with other players as the races expand to more planet. I'd definitely have multiple person teams as it would most likely provide a more balanced and even skill-standard overall. It would also help in several RP perspectives, if you turn off fixed-teams then it can make the race-leaders take into consideration a planet's views on how their resources and fleets should be used. It would allow planets to rebel against the rest of their race and help create interesting and diverse situations. I would however enforce reasonable rules on the changing of teams to keep it a good RP as well as a good fight.
On the RP side of things there shan't be too many rules, just at least one post before each match (probably weekly) and before any large none-covert operations are taken out. The people making the RP posts don't even have to be the same people in the matches, just so long as they take appropriate and realistic action. The only team/person (undecided) exempt from making these posts would be the unknown, who will only start posting once contact has been made.
There are lots of specifics that I think it would be best to get different opinions on (such as the time of each weekly match, the date and much more).
