Synthya WylderFrom E:D Lore section: Question re: E:D canon Lore


Maybe this can be of some help?

I saw & read lots on general, grandiose items. Large-scale system & galactic events, rulers, corporations, politics, conflicts, certain ships. A little about robotics & genetic 'correction' & cloning. That's about it.

I'll wait for any others to add their thoughts, before continuing with Synthya's RP story in the Medical facilities, & trying to remain plausibly consistent with what I've seen others post in various RP sections. I don't wish to conflict or be jarring with whatever's established in RP canon.

You can buy synthetic pets and humanoid robots are advertised outside most large stations. AI problems and advantages are a sifi must have, so that's a safe bet.

The synthesis ability of any ship means star trek style replicators are not to far away, so you pretty safe with most sifi tropes others than teleporters.

Oh, replicators kind of exist in E:D in form of 3D Food Printers (also called 'chefs') and their 'ammunition', the Food Cartridge commodity. Which I also assume is what a pilot uses most of the time while in space.

This is a list of rare goods in Elite. If you look into some of them, they give hits to the tech level in ED.

The EDRPG supplements and core books go in depth into the technology and lore of the game universe itself.

I like your renders. May I ask what tool you use?

Thank you, that means a lot! It wasn't & hasn't been easy, as the only translation engine I could find is quite poor & very limited, so I've had to spend lots of time & effort, flipping back & forth between different resource sites, & cross-referencing, then going back & seeing if it works. That was especially true with that passage in Synthya's Bio. A shame there isn't a more comprehensive resource, & using the info from several other sites (like, dictionary in 1 place, & language tutor in another, for example).

As to E:D Lore & Canon, so far, I couldn't find much for localized/detailed specifics, so I was purposely non-specific & went on what very little I'd already found, & added some from what I knew in RL.

Again, Nerys, considering your considerable & very enjoyable RP contributions, your comment means lots to me.

Question for the group.

Is it normal around here to take control of another's person character and fast forward the RP to a significant degree?  That's what just happened in Citi Gateway, and I'm a little perplexed.

No, and it's widely considered bad form.

Wait, did you, did you just become someone elses content without your consent? That is shocking.

Have you considered a private RP server?

It happened to me once. I dont think it's that common.

Although, to be fair, in this instance it seems to have been handled, efficiently.
