[Skrimskraw]

Name: Skrimskraw
Favorite Class: Pilot
Favorite part of the game: Commanding and use of flanking tactics
Quote: "I am afraid that we will have to do the impossible if we are to get paid" - To her crew as Anglean raiders are spotted on the horizon
Faction: Fjord Baronies.
Additional info: disowned barony heiress, former thrall (slave) under an anglean Jarl, specialty in transporting cargo through Firnfeld and fighting or evading the angleans. Angleans will refuse to barter or parley with her. - she stole a lot of technology and have killed a lot of angleans

[ShadedExalt]

Name: ShadedExalt
Favourite Class: Engineer (Pilot)
Favourite part of the game: When everything's in tip top shape, and tactically ramming things wih moonshine just to piss off the engineers.
Faction: None.  Ex-Guild, friendly with the Republic, and a trader/tinker.
Quote: "Look out boys, things are about to get a mite hot!"
Extra Info: On good terms with Yesha, Anglea, and the Baronies, but hated by the Arashi and the Guild.  He got tired of the Guild's corruption, and left with a sizable figure of gold when he decided to split.  Hated by the Arashi because of his Guild ancestry and the fact he makes regular trips to the Leviathan.  Snarky and smart as a whip.

This looks like fun. I want to join
-Name: David Dire
-Favourite Class: Pilot
-Favourite part of the game: having that amazing sensation of grinding an enemy ship into a wall.
-Quote: "I don't care if everything's being shot at, just repair my engines and keep us alive!"
faction: Anglean.
-Additional Info: Relationship isn't the most stable with all the other factions, due to sometimes raiding their borders just for the fun of it. However the only reason he's never been hunted is for the tendency to shoot down invading pirates when he's flying near other faction's borders.

Because we already have a great simulation for Guns of Icarus style air battles. It is called "Guns of Icarus Online." I wanted to focus more on the community and lore.

tabletop simulator allows you to make the actual board game as a mod with game board pieces etc. like playing an actual board game so people wont have to print the pieces or buy stuff from various places. just a suggestion since it is fully functional to support this. firefly is already ported to it.

[HamsterIV]

Oh that. I will defiantly look into porting the game to that software after I have the cards written. I thought you were referring to table top war games like the Star Wars X-Wing Miniature game.

[Skrimskraw]

Awesome.

[Skrimskraw]

alright, I just looked at the firefly game.

It looks really complex with a lot of different Cards + the board seems pretty solid will be hard to convert into goio.
if you need any help just ask.

[TimTim LaBaguette]

This sounds very interesting, any updates ?

[HamsterIV]

I ran out of time and interest. All my work thus far is in the shared google documents on the first post. If you want an idea of how the game would have played look into Firefly the Game (http://www.amazon.com/Gale-Force-9-GF9-FIRE001-Firefly/dp/0992251656). It is where I was ripping the rules from.
