Battleship.Khonsu SRP revised - Big Bison Bessie - 03-24-2025
1. Forum name of the owner:
Big Bison Bessie
2. What exactly are you requesting?:
This is a revised SRP application, adding in the stipulation of limited house access per SRP amendment. Due to ongoing RP with the Platform and the presence of Wilde infiltration in Rheinland, that is the first House. There may be a case to push for Kusari as well given ongoing events between the KOI/KNF and the Order within Tohoku. However I haven't had nearly as much interaction with the blood dragons as the platform to back this up, and it largely remains tied up in server events, so this could be forgone if it's an overreach.
Gabbi had also proposed the idea of only allowing Rheinland access if accompanied by a Bundschuh, which in theory doesn't sound too bad, however I have not always been able to get Platform players to log. I have fears that this stipulation will lead to me sitting on my hands more often than not. However if this is what allows me to access relevant systems for RP then I will be content allowing this to be the case.
I am requesting a custom ID (bonus points if the ID can have the icon of the Osiris from the ship buy screen). I wish to remove the limitations on Order capital ships operating in house space from the normal Order ID and open up this ship's travel and attack options, but otherwise keep the ID largely the same.
Proposed ID:
Quote:Battleship Khonsu
This Independent Intelligence ID SRP is used by Captain Ross of the Khonsu. The Khonsu is an Osiris-class battleship that has been dispatched on a long-range mission to the Houses and Borderworlds. The Khonsu's primary purpose is to act as a mobile base and support platform for reconnaissance, research, and anti-Nomad strike operations conducted by the Order and Order allies.
This Independent Intelligence SRP ID is used by Battleship Khonsu, who:
- Can attack Combat Ships considered hostile by The Order.
- Can attack Intelligence ships, and ships using Alien equipment.
- Can engage in piracy against ships considered hostile by The Order.
- Can demand Alien and Core equipment and materials.
- Can enforce laws within the Omicrons.
Zone of Influence (Omicrons, Omegas, Sigmas, Rheinland and bordering systems)
3. Character's name, ship name and affiliation:
Captain Amanda Ross, Battleship.Khonsu, the Order ID and IFF
4. Why is this request necessary for the continuation of this character's roleplay?:
The Khonsu was created with the expressed purpose of trying to rekindle some feelings of the Order in vanilla SP. The ship’s intended role in RP is to provide a mobile base of operations for ongoing support for Order allies within the Sirian Houses and borderworlds. Her mission would be possible but severely limited with the typical Order ID ZoI restrictions on capital ships, and would require a lot of navigation gymnastics. The normal ID also restricts access to areas in houses that have curiosities the Order would want to dig into, IE Thuringia.
Theoretically this could have been achieved with an Order recon cruiser, however I felt the ship was too light to act as a true mobile base of operations as it lacks significant internal space and hangar capacity. I have also never owned a battleship before this, so I’ve made an effort to make this one special in some capacity and truly put the extra work in. I'd prefer to have a unique and useful RP platform than just a stat-stick I can smack people with in a fleet fight.
5. What short-term and long-term goals are you planning to achieve on this character?:
Short term goals are to set up several missions with the Platform and Dragons in the sigmas, get some RP going there. I have interest in being able to get the Khonsu into Thuringia in the near future for a scientific mission specifically, which is impossible rule wise with the normal Order ID… long term goals are I will have the ship travel to alien points of interest in sirius and attempt to set up RP encounters with local friendly factions as the Khonsu performs her research and nomad deterrence operations. Examples could include Vagrant territory, Ontario, Newcastle, etc.
In the future I may get some other players to come in and act as her onboard fighterwing, though they can do this work without a special ID. Some people have expressed interest in taking on this role already.
