So, I was thinking. And playing Kerbal Space program. I had the brilliant idea of a non-scifi space based rp, and I thought with the odd nature of equestria itself, the rest of the planets could be incredibly fun to handle.

 

So, some basic story here:

 

It's modern equestrian times, since no one strived to fly to space before, but one day, a pony living in the cold northern regions of Hossia, looked into the sky at night, and he wanted to know more. He wanted to travel... further than anyone else. So, he went through a long life of trying to strive to make something amazing. He gathered some friends, scientists, and workmen, and eventually, they made... a working rocket ship. It was all over the news, and quickly spread to Equestria, of the ponies who'd flown without wings outside of the planet. The princesses had nothing to say on the manner, and were reported as nervous, but many other ponies strived to create their own space programs too, much like Ivan Brevenski of Hossia.

 

You will play one of these ponies, attempting to fly further than anyone else, and meet whatever might live outside of the planet. 

 

Now, there will be three separate space program teams, who've essentially just started. Two from Equestria, and one from Hossia. You'd managed to get some land, and other people who were interested, and even managed to get some support from nearby ponies who wanted to know what was out there. 

 

The main part of this rp will be about you making rockets, probes, space planes, and utilizing them to fly and make money to go further out in something of a cycle, while discovering secrets about the Universe and what's in it.

 

Sound interesting?

Sounds kind of boring, unless it progresses and we eventually do get 'out there'.

No, is too big.

 

But seriously, ponies already have the ability to make chariots that stay straight on an axis with two pegasi pulling them, they can probably use magic for this.

First of all, I don't see how you're going to accomplish any decent kind of story where all you're doing is building space parts just to get to space, upon which time you return and just do it again. It seems like there's nothing really happening, nothing's developing besides *so-and-so built a rocket pod* *so-and-so attached a rocket pod to a booster*. I understand how this can be done with a graphical game to get satisfaction, but not so much through text. I fear that this won't be long-lived unless you have something interesting to contribute.

 

My suggestion -- take it or leave it -- is that, instead of just cycling building, launch, return, seeing who can make it farther (which I get the feeling has a good probability of turning into an op-"No I made it farther than you for reasons"-fest) etc., have the building occur by a main group as opposed to three, have the launch, perhaps some sort of error or whatever, then begin your "return to equestria" or whatever sort of thing you'd like.

Ah, I mistook this part as meaning you were going into space and coming back on more than one occasion.

 

Edit: Error in phrasing on my part. Going out and coming back on more than one occasion is not a bad thing at all, I just thought that the building and construction was the major focus of the rp.

Well, we probably will, just not to a massive ship building extent. 

 

It's the kind of thing that'll happen once in a blue moon.

Exactly my thoughts. It just doesn't seem like there's an awful lot happening.

 

And also, I doubt there would be many deaths, unless NASA and other space-oriented organisations are keeping stuff from us. (They likely are, but c'mon, this is Equestria.)

It's a bit of a rocky ground rp. 

 

I may as well go through with a few rp ideas eh.

 

Anyway, there actually will be a lot going on in this thing. We have no idea what exists or not in the ponyville universe.

I think I'll name this rp "For Science", and while it won't involve spacetravel as much, it'll still have it.

 

Possibly being set in the future in some massive lab, due to the prevalence of many resources in a newly discovered area of some kind, it's set there are some scientists have basically got the supplies to test nigh any theory of any kind, create cool stuff, and see what happens when you blow something up. 

 

Of course, being FOR SCIENCE, they can really do whatever the hell they want as long as they think something will happen.

If this is to be made, expect hilarity from Orbit. Loads of it.

I had three orbital Mun stations once. Now all that's left is a ring of pretty debris. Which goes to show... something.
