' Wrote:What sort of work, exactly, would have to be done to the dyson sphere to deem it 'ready' for rp?
Why is it not ready for RP as is?
It never was ready for RP per se. At first the area wasn't changed due to being important to SP campaign. After campaign was dropped no work has been done there to the date.
The "systems" would need to display the sphere in ruined state, with wreck "asteroid" fields around, radiation of varying degrees in various areas, anomalies. With Nomads gone there hadn't been anyone one to maintain the place and keep it running for all these years. Order may have "kept an eye" on it but has eventually turned to other matters as evidenced by all the roleplay made in years. The place was abandoned, forgotten as a result of nobody doing anything about it, in both senses of inRP and ooRP. It isn't some base or a planet, it's a K2 class structure of such size and completely alien. Premature opening of hypergate, energy grid malfunction destabilization and so forth have all caused irreversible destruction and collapse. To make that all reflected in game would require a lot of effort and time put into. I did some basic work on it approximately a year ago, but eventually abandoned for personal reasons, however I intend to release the content as a stand-alone mod allowing any other third-party to incorporate it into any mod.
