Bundschuh IFF'ed, SRP ID'ed, Platform ID restrictions (Other than the ship class), Elbe class Carrier with full powercore access to Rheinland Military Capital ship weapons. (With allowances to also apply codename weapons when possible/affordable :S )
3. Character's name, ship name and affiliation:
(=)BLS-Von.Claussen
4. Why is this request necessary for the continuation of this character's roleplay?:
In terms of story development, the Platform do need a vessel capable of reaching out to distant locations to provide constant and direct support for operations within systems. And due to our ID limitations we're not able to use ships heavier than cruisers unless requests like these are submitted. Some of our players have a preference for capital ships yet are restricted to cruisers at max, this as a shared vessel should give our members another option without compromising on the immersion of a faction that doesn't have swaths of capital ships at their disposal.
As such this will also be a ship that belongs TO THE FACTION.
5. What short-term and long-term goals are you planning to achieve on this character?:
This ship is to be the flagship of the Platform, likely will be upgraded over time, hopefully used within co-operative operations with other factions and as a show of force at events. The ship is carrier based so will help with our preference to support fighter wings rather than large capital fleets while light enough to move around.
Its purpose still remains loose, but one plan is to have it support efforts against the Wilde and Nomads within Rheinland and potentially beyond as part of the Sinclair Protocol. We usually don't employ ships of this size so there will be a greater focus in its writing and development than other vessels and done for more than just outright combat.
6. Provide links to relevant roleplay and a quick summary for each:
https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...pid2338442 The intial beginnings of the Rheinland Elbe carrier originally into the hands of the Technocracy transitions over to a story handled by the Platform/Bundschuh. A conversation between Leviathan and CS. Handing him a file that describes the progress the technocracy have done and what they couldn't overcome.
https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...pid2336273 Requests to the Hessians to allow the Von Claussen to berth a Wolfsburg Shipyard and also plans to create a diversion to allow passage of the vessel through Omega-11 undetected. Posts #2-11.
https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...tid=204444 The first screening event, allowing both the Andraste and the Von Claussen to move through to Omega-55 while support covers interceptions from the navy and LSF.
https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...pid2352844 The result of the second event, whilst the carrier made it through, some fighter patrols couldn't be intercepted through its last journey, enough to arise suspicions of a rouge or unrecorded capital ship element.
8. How long has this character been building its backstory?
