Hello there,
I am a new participant. Like a few of you others, I've stumbled on this and I'm intrigued at the possibilities. My main character, Frath, is an ex-Sith, who now works as a bounty hunter. I don't entirely know much about this RPG, but I do have a lot of knowledge in the Star Wars universe. If there's anyone who thinks that my character is suitable for an adventure, I'd be more than happy to join.
Thank you all!!

Welcome to JvS, Frath ! Our community welcomes a new bounty Hunter to our mix. There are plenty of factions that could use such services, but I will admit that our criminal activity is a bit low. Nonetheless, you will still find groups and individuals who may be wanting to do something with your character. For instance, I Rp the Emperor of the First Order, a nation with many enemies. I also run a small cartel as a Cathar Dark Side Adept named Scar from a modified Lucrehulk that serves as a mobile shadowport. You will surely find someone or someones to write with! I do want to make an inquiry on your profile as you stated you have a modified Star Courier. What sort of modifications? I ask cause usually when it comes to extensive modifications, or what may be considered extensive enough to warrant it, we do ask writers to submit these modified vessels and starfighters to our Databank for approval. As a Databank Operator, I must ask. |

Ah, yes, of course. These modifications include an armory that takes up two jointed sleeping quarters, cloaking, and the weapons systems are engineered for more precision and power (about double). This weapons modification however takes power away from the shields, so that's at half.
I hope that provides the clarification needed, if there's anything else I need to do I'll fix/update it. As to the database, I'm looking at the information and I'm not quite sure which of the classes that are listed the Star Courier would fit under. Thank you.

Star Courier is a 26.5 meter vessel so it would fall under Support Class Category. Seeing it would be a modification, it would be a [Custom] entry. Given that you are adding to its firepower and likely use a gear for a better targeting system to make it more precise, we do advise that you do make a submission. Thank you for the clarification! For all details in terms of the entry, look here. If you need help, please ask! Sorry if this adds more, just gotta do my job! So, any ideas on where you wanna start? Also, we do have a discord server which may be easier to get in touch with people too. You are welcomed to join that! The link is at the top of our webpage to the right. |

Format looks right. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to include a description of perhaps why this ship was chosen and why it was modified. Just add a little more to the creativity with that little explanation. Just follow the provided template for Custom submissions. Oh! And also list the special gears used too beyond just the number.i Edit: here’s an example of one of the approved custom entries: the Needa-class Corvette. Visual aids are always the best! Helped me understand how to use the system when I really needed to given that I was gonna approve others in the future haha! |

Greetings and salutations, Frath!
As one of the admins here, allow me give you a warm welcome into our little corner of SW paradise.
We do have some rules that Nicademus already went over, but don't let that overwhelm you. Please enjoy your time with us. I would always recommend joining our Discord server (here) if you ever want some more real-time interaction with some of our members or staff, if you have any questions or anything (or just to hang out and chat).
Also, you may also want to peruse our sub-board of Writings groups (here) to see if a faction/group catches your fancy.
If you have any further questions or need anything don't hesitate to ask. We have a very friendly group of writers and staff who will be more than happy to help you in any way they can to get you started.

Ship Class: Support
Ship Role: Support
Ship Length: 26.5 meters
(A):3
(D):2
(O):2
(S): 3
Special gear: 5--Cloaking system, advanced weaponry, advanced maneuvering thrusters, and advanced targeting system.
Description: These modifications include an armory that takes up two jointed sleeping quarters, advanced maneuvering thrusters, cloaking, and the weapons systems are engineered for more precision and power (about double).
The Black Menace, a Star Courier, looks much like it's relative, the Sith Infiltrator.. Though it has many of the exterior similarities, the interior is shaped to better suit it's pilot, Frath. It's maneuverability can be improved, but it makes up for it in weapons and intimidation. It's appealing to the eye on the ground, but a fright when in flight. It's rapid fire and cloaking systems, along with its various missiles and charges, offer an impressive display of explosive superiority.
Reasons for modifications: Increase firepower, become more efficient, and overwhelm/surprise unsuspecting enemies.
How's this look?
Also, I have an image picked out, but when I put it in the link shows and it's super long. Should I still put it in, or is there a way to insert the image without the long link?

There is an image key beside the hyperlink. In fact, if you look at the submission guide I gave you, it included the coding for the image entry. You just need to add in the link. We usually recommend Imgur if links are too long or if they are having issues with it. Lately Wookieepedia images haven’t been showing up if we directly link them.
Edit:
[b][font size="5"]-insert vessel's class name-[/font][/b]
[img src="-insert image-" style="max-width:100%;" alt=" "]
[b]Ship Class:[/b] Support
[b]Ship Role:[/b] Support
[b]Ship Length:[/b] 0 meters
[b]Agility (A):[/b] 0
[b]Defensive (D):[/b] 0
[b]Offensive (O):[/b] 0
[b]Speed (S):[/b] 0
[b]Special Gear:[/b] 0
[b]Description:[/b]
-Description of submission's armament, vital details, and other necessities
This is the template for the custom entries. That second link of coding. Where it says insert image, place the link there. If it’s too big, adjust the percentage off to the left to maybe around 50.
Also props on the work!

Nice choice of art! Overall, think you are ready! Just that template to make your submission and the DO will get on it ASAP!
Just remember that the title of the thread should be: [Custom] -insert entry name-.
Now! Back to what truly matters, got any ideas where you wanna start?

No, I don't have any ideas in particular. I guess anything that's fun and fits my character well, of course.

Oh, how/where would I create e thread needed for submitting the Black Menace? I don't know if I'm just looking in the wrong spot or what, but I can't quite figure it out.
