It's been a long time since one of those big fat empire-in-space threads popped up. Wouldn't be too hard to make another.
Anyone want to help me make one? |

"Someone else make it for me, please?"
I'm sorry but if you're not going to take responsibility, you shouldn't have made a collab like this, and instead made more of a request

| I really want a Sci-Fi roleplay that focuses more on battles on individual planets and telling stories through characters, because it's usually more elaborate than a 2-dimensional galaxy-wide command game. |

How SCI-FI are we talking? Faster than light travel? |

Right, let's get this over with.
I'm thinking that it'll be a star nebula in which a large empire was situated. Said empire collapsed after a massive insurgency by the Trader caste rebelling (The empire had a caste system). You begin as a minor faction that has managed to re-organize itself and pick up some remaining pieces of the former empire in order to assist itself in becoming a force to be reckoned with in the nebula. There are numerous other factions in your way, both minor and major.
This empire consists of both humans and various aliens races. Your new faction will use the former empire's technology for a long time until you can produce your own technology, which is going to take a long time.
Also, some remnants of the empire have banded together to form the Pirate faction, a large mercenary faction that has a lot of the old empire's technology, and specializes in special modified ships. Unfortunately, they rely on old technology, which means they lack shields and use only lasers, autocannons, and primitive rockets.
Minor factions inhabit a large portion of the remaining planets, usually with a small militia fleet to defend itself. They are not tough opponents.
Major factions span several planets and even star systems and generally have a large fleet of ships and permanent planetary defense systems. These factions are more dangerous and should be approached cautiously.
You can colonize planets and asteroids to produce a fleet and establish a foothold. |

Quick! Scramble all fighters! Repel the threat!
In any case, what do you think? |

I just want it to be made, but first, can I control, instead of an empire, just a single guy and his band of mercenaries? That may or may not be based on SW:TOR? |

You may, but most mercenaries are usually become part of a faction permanently and involuntarily. Still, you can give it a try, especially if you have Pirate allies to call on.
If you do wish to be a mercenary, you start with an assortment of Pirate ships to use instead of the standard. Pirate ships are stronger initially, but are weaker against higher level ships.
About levels, these determine how good a ship is. It does have numerical values attached to it, but those are there as a guide to how a ship will perform actions and react. It does not necessarily determine how strong it is and that a one-on-one against a stronger ship will always make the weaker ship lose. Sometimes the lower-level ship will win if the captain co-ordinates the crew's efforts correctly. |

I meant more like a single ship (a freighter) and about 6-8 people, who will slowly gain power, and mainly survive through sheer luck and calling in the favors of a few crime lords every once in a while. We'll probably do jobs for different factions, gaining their favor as well, but we'll never pick a side (although we won't go destroy a city for no reason -- We still have a moral code.) I could make an empire later, but I want to try out that job, especially since the character I have planned will have a personality quite different from the standard politician's. |

| Speaking of crime, add Crime Lords to the game (Perhaps the 3-5 biggest) and allow players to start their own gang/syndicate/etc.. |

Crime Lords are the Pirate Lords, more or less. Each Pirate Lord has a cadre of Pirate Bases, asteroids that produce Pirate ships. They rake in quite a lot of money through mercenary contracts.
Very well, I will make it. And you may be a single ship. Do you want to choose now, or after I make the RP? |

I have no interest in collabing, but I just wanted to ask:
WhyHello, did you get banned? x3

Yep.
I mentioned hating ponies and typing in the name to a forum where a few RP veterans hand out, and I got hit with a ban. |
