Funny that you should post - I had just checked this thread again yesterday morning!
-
Norseman started following [M - C03] Prisoner Record S4C03, One Ping Only - Status of Lego SciFi RP, [O - TECH] Everything is Awesomnium! and and 5 others

Hey folks, I jumped in a few years ago just in time to make a single post in the first iteration of Andromeda's Gates, and have come back every few months or so to see if it has picked up again. It's been radio silence here for a few years, and I'm looking to see if there is any likelihood of a continuation of the story. If not, does anyone know of anywhere that is still doing Lego scifi RP? It's such a wholesome creative outlet. It's lonely out here in the black!

A beautiful way to end the story, Pombe. I'm finally settled in and will be joining you all on the other side!

Gotta stay true to the character!

Hey folks, I know I'm not a member of MANTIS, but I've got several weeks of story builds I was hoping to make on Illustria. I hope I won't be stepping on any toes. My character in-game has taken to bribing several officials of the backwater station he mostly works out of, so I wonder if I could pay a percentage of the credits my builds make directly to MANTIS in a similar vein?

I'm a newcomer myself and have only completed one build, but I believe AG could really benefit from the ability for players to license their own ships or even corporations, and to strike deals between the corporations of other users like the current BOBS rules allow for. A skill system for your main character could also be an interesting dynamic, as well as the ability to control more independent characters than your single sigfig. Having and maintaining a crew would be very fun, as well as being to add bonuses to their performance through the burning of XP or something like that. I'm a little sad that AG will be ending in the next few months, as I've ad a pretty far-reaching story arc in the works here now - I've just barely finished background work on most of the secondary characters of it! As far as background or world creation goes, I'd like to volunteer services for that. My work has me at a computer with hours of free time that I would be happy to spend writing. If you would like a sample of my abilities in this regard, PM me and I will provide you with some.

Is my build not being scored?

Dang it, I'd even built a little rover to transport the ice, but I wasn't satisfied with it so it got the ax. There goes a point.

Log Entry Begin user://AdenCorso Water is sometimes tricky. Shipped in liquid form, it sloshes around and can throw even the most finely-tuned set of compensators into chaos. It takes up more volume than when frozen as well, which means your profits will be marginal. Getting liquid water from a planet's surface also means burning a brick-ton of fuel, which means those marginal profits are now minimal (if you even manage to break even). This is why most ice-mining takes place in any particular system's asteroid belt. Every ship and every station needs water to function - either for its crew to drink, or separated into its constituent parts of O2 and H, the one for breathing, the other for reaction mass. walk by Norseman, on Flickr Given that those same asteroids are often well-patrolled to stem off illegal mining operations by the system's parent Corp explains why I am currently riding a comet headed out-system at more than 40 kilometers per second, more than 3 AUs from Illustria's star. You see, this far from a sun, any water on a comet has frozen and is no longer billowing out in its telltale plume. Comet tails are formed when rising heat from nearing a star causes ice to evaporate, the resultant ejecta always pointing away from the sun. I should be safe this far out from any surprise geysers under my feet. At least I hope so. Although... Flyby by Norseman, on Flickr Apparently I'm not far enough to avoid every MANTIS patrol... Luckily it's an older ship, a Lycidae-class corvette. I've flown against them before, in the Milky Way. They were outdated even back then. Now they are positively antiquated. Their sensors rely mostly upon line-of-sight LADAR, but their resolution is poor and my thermal signature is small enough to hopefully pass without notice. With my ship hidden away in cold sleep mode deep in a fissure, all I need to do is tuck myself against this wall and... hide by Norseman, on Flickr All clear. searching by Norseman, on Flickr I have nothing against MANTIS. I run across them here on the fringe all the time. They run Illustria now, after all. But just because they tolerate my being here as an Octan contractor doesn't mean that I won't come across some loose-cannon, fly-boy captain who would rather shoot than take a bribe. As it lies, every bribe I need to pay cuts into my profits even more, and my profits on this already won't be anything to brag about. The penny-pinching administrators of Port Farhome will see to that... ice by Norseman, on Flickr Here we are. cutting by Norseman, on Flickr Now all I've got to do is do some clever carving... Don't want to bury myself in ice after all, or my popsicle corpse could be part of the comet's tail the next time it swings back in-system in another four hundred years or so. I'd much rather avoid that. spoils by Norseman, on Flickr Alright, two blocks down, only about twenty to go. This is going to take a while, I think. Luckily, I've nowhere else to go, nowhere else to be. Log Entry End This is my first entry, so I'm still a bit unsure of what tags I should include. Can I get a bit of help? Also, pardon the cat hair. It gets everywhere!

Welcome, Henjin! As a new guy who has yet to post his first build, I say it's nice to see more new blood!
-
Great photos! I love the Wild West sets. I really wish there was a community like 'GoH' for them.

I've not yet joined BOBS, but I must say: reading your entries is like reading a Patrick O'Brian novel. Keep up the marvelous work. -
I knew I recognized this build! One of my favourite sets as a child as well!
-
Hopefully just not the target anymore!

Clever use of jackhammers!
