idea

Building off of the awesome work of [member="FN-6767"], I am proposing the creation of a permanent thread were RPers can submit (via fill-out templates) major events generated by the community to a Galactic Timeline. There are some awesome things going on right on a galactic scale - from the...

I'd like to suggest, given their many detrimental effects compared to stygium cloaking devices, that hibridium cloaking devices be exempted from the Semi-Unique limitations of the factory regarding such technology. Given the current ruleset, there is literally no reason to ever use hibridium...

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION Intent: This planet will be made to provide a homeworld for the subhuman species known as the Sociphs. I want a harsh planet that spawn even harsher inhabitants. ​Image Credit: I want the planet to not really have been discovered yet as those from it will be vastly...

The past few days I've been looking at the Fleet Npc template and I feel that in some ways it is restricting due to the size limits. Now I know that the current fleet template is not for war fleets. They are meant to be basic, simple, straight forward and i get that. Say if i wanted to use a...

Can we get back solo mining threads for RM as an option? Not sure how viable it is to have it as 2+ writers thread. I really don't want to ask others to mine with me when I can forge my own short story about it at my own pace amd being solely dependant on me.

Could Squadron Counts for the Starfighters Template get a rating like Capital Ships have for Hangar Counts? They practically already do, just that having smaller or larger squadrons has vague trade-offs involving the size of the ship which changes depending on the judge, or is overlooked...

Dear Shipwrights, The recent discussion of too many links to review in Special Features got me thinking. Now, while a solid 75% of me wants to post sassy gifs, I had an idea that might benefit both customers and employees of the factory long term. This method would prevent arbitrary changes to...

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION Intent: (Example: 'A personal weapon for Darth Scabious' or 'an advanced armored personnel carrier for the Republic') Image Source: (Please link to where you found the image, or to the original artist if possible. TinEye or Google Image Search can help.) Canon...

Now that vehicle armament ratings are a thing, perhaps knowing what weapons cost how many "units" against a vehicle's weapons budget, which, like starships, is rating-dependent, would make their use much easier to work out. After all, as with starships, there are a variety of configurations...

So I know I'm probably asking too much here, but I noticed that, while looking for a appropriate template, nothing really fits well with cybernetics. I could use the armor template, but then it isn't really just armor. I could combine the basic and armor template but it still doesn't really fit...

Creating this thread for the purpose of having a recorded discussion on the issue of link spam. It's come up in chat several times in the past few days, and everyone seems to be fed up with it, so let's put our heads together and figure something out. For the purpose of this discussion, link...

Hey, I was wandering, I couldn't find in the rules anywhere that says we can't create a lightsaber crystal cave. Am I being dumb and missing that or is it possible to create a location on a planet for one? Thanks

We did away with dev threads a couple months ago, and the Factory's been running smoother than ever. Balance nips any attempts at OP submissions in the bud, and it's worked really well so far. So I propose we try and do away with RM missions as well. Not Restricted materials as a whole – just...

Currently the policy of RM mission threads and Company expansion threads is "post count doesn't matter, just tell a complete story". So if we're only looking for complete stories to be told about, say, how Company X came to establish Factory Y on Planet Z – why not allow Codex subs to fulfill...

After some discussion in factory discord, the question as to the usefulness of this rule was raised. The points in favor of the rule, as far as I'm aware, are: Preventing users from sneaking in non-English expletives. Making searching for the sub at a later date easier. However, requiring that...

So this started off as a joke in Discord, and since I'm doing absolutely nothing at work tonight, I figured what the hell, might as well write up a slightly more PC version. This is a rough draft, and the exact number of Things is subject to change, so we can settle on the actual title if it...

It's come up at least twice in factory chat, so I'm dragging it here where it won't get lost. The issue is this: Which goes against the requirement the Vehicle template has under Speed, Maneuverability and Defenses. It also goes against the same requirements put on Starship templates, where the...

I reckon that the Detailed Special Features field in factory submissions is by all accounts unnecessary. Typically it'll just be used as a lengthened version of Special Features; while that helps give the reader a thorough idea of the feature, it's nothing that couldn't be achieved within the...

Below will document the adventures of J0R-N3L. Along the way, he may need to be moved to a newer model, provided his memory core isn't destroyed throughout his lifetime of service. Every partner he's ever had will also be recorded within this specific droids archives. C1-Astromech [RIGHT]

So, I am currently in the middle of creating a planet and a sub-species of Anzati that live on the planet. From my knowledge of Anzati, I know that they can turn feral over time without soup. (I think that is how it works.), anyway, I wanted to create a sub-species that diverted...
