So, as maybe, err, two of you (paying attention to anything but one's own plot-points seems to be an issue for folks here) may know, Mire, my Decepticon OC, arrived on a ship, along with perhaps half a dozen Vehicon Elita.
Now, the issue has been raised; what becomes of the ship? It's docked in the Nemesis currently.... Can I use it...? Namely, Do I have to butcher backstory and retcon things up the wazzoo to make it fit into this clunky new point-system people thought was a good idea? Because I am twelve floors down from "not keen" on turning this into "Hurr a Durr Mire crash teh ship in teh ocean it broken lol total not retcon lol" just to match the way this new system works.
The ship and its resources are a huge part of both Mire and Kryse's backstory. Namely, how the former managed to subdue a Cybertronian colony, then track a survivor to Earth. If the ship goes, or has some wonky, poorly-made backstory-change, what becomes of the respective backstories of my characters...?
A Few details first:
-It is a warship.
-It is not as large as the Nemesis
-It is not half as large as the Nemesis
-It is perhaps 5-600 feet long and 110 feet deep; enough for a bridge with advanced comm and tracking gear, a med-bay, a small storage-bay and armory, a brig, and quarters for the Vehicons and Mire.
-It is going to have armarments appropriate for a craft designed with the purpose of killing and conquering and plundering, but scaled appropriately. It is a fraction the size of the Nemesis, and will have a matching proportion of weapons.
-Likewise with things such as armor. This isn't a bid to try to rule the world or anything.
