And ponys + imports.
We can finally create new, unprecedented, innovative characters.
Hurray!
This post may contain sarcasm.

I'm making Jihad Coalition in full now. To properly parallel irl as vanilla freelancer loved to do, I will be bombing Rheinland first.

Also, to properly balance the scales, I must make a middle class, racist, homophobic, transphobic, furry hating white Liberty male immediately.

So happy to hear that my suggestion, Re-Allow Furry Characters On Discovery Freelancer, was listened to and put into effect. Great stories await!

Communication in-game and in the roleplaying areas of the forums must be in-character and appropriate for Discovery Freelancer's setting.
I dont know where furry and other things came from..

Yeah, that says nothing about content. That says setting. As long as you can cram it into the setting, anything goes. That's where furry and the other things came from.

and talking about space things, maybe you could RP another faction being "Furries" instead of chads with tentacles or something like it were nomads ... space is so open ... imagine what kind of creatures could be living there ... like a small colony of a lost ship or something ...
still, there was a time where rules explicitly tell that those are not allowed, but since "Rule Revision for Feb 2024" is now deleted and even deleted from really really long time ago ... well, maybe that is why i have seen an RP as a Cat or something (or that is what appear on the Communication Video and so) ... so ... if even animals can do, then some rare scientist should have got a base and do weirdo experiments or another civilization seems more likely ... but the option is still there ... and no rule forbid that as before ...

Quote:Within Uncharted Systems:
Act as if the system were in their Zone of Influence.
Demand Cerulite Crystals, Chirodebris, Cryo-Organisms, and Organic Capacitors from non-Allies.

Does this include or exclude Earhart itself?

It should be including earhart yes

Don't tempt me into bringing back Shard or The Etherium please... If it didn't fly then I doubt it'll fly now.

I have a very vivid memory of some artist showing up, posting a (decently written) OC race writeup of just succubae with extra steps with their artwork, and promptly getting deleted.

Revision Update

- 1.1: Added specific disclaimer about metagaming and powergaming being forbidden.
- 3.0: Specified that Siege Declarations are only active once 24 hours have passed, and that Siege Declarations expire two weeks after going active, not after being posted.
- 3.1: Reworded to remove specific note about ZOI and instead mention ID lines in general.
- 4.0: Added a definition for Uncharted systems to include Earhart.

The separate POB rules post has been hidden as it was superseded by section 3 in the new rules.

Ah neat, house lawfuls can use rp consequences for non house stuff again - actually a good change, it was weird a Freelancer shooting you and you having to wave and be friendly an hour later
