So what I have right now is just a rough outline. I plan on making it much more in-depth, but I don't have any ideas right now. Anybody care to help?

I am pleasantly surprised. I like it.
A lot of futuristic rps turn out to be fantasy in disguise. The races are varied enough to keep things interesting and seem to fit with the worlds.
I'll keep thinking about it and see if anything occurs to me.
Question, though, are you looking to leave the plot vague and open, or for a specific hook to get the action rolling and the characters involved? Both work, obviously, but I didn't know if you had anything more specific than 'war' in mind for 'plot'.

Well, I've tried to do plot before, and it generally doesn't seem to work out for me. But then again I see the obvious problems with not having a plot. It was originally supposed to be open-ended, but I'll have to think about it.

It can always be open ended, the question is just where it starts. Are people just... wherever doing their thing, needing to find a way to come together?
Is there perhaps a peace accord or meeting of some sort going on, which might draw the characters together for better or worse? Is there a specific attack from one planet that they're all reacting to?
A hook, if you will, to make it sound interesting and exciting from the get go. Something to make a character concept pop into someone's head. "Oh, we're starting with a peace summit? I'd like to play an ambassador, or a general," for example.
Leaving it open forces them to develop their characters a little more, by coming up with a reason to get them to where ever the other characters are, but some people get impatient if there's a lack of interaction and sort of disappear.

Yeah, that's sort of what I was worried about. It's also a little difficult to come up with names for new races and planets. I definitely need more planets in the list, but I'm not sure about races... I don't know. I'll work on it over the next week and hopefully it'll be ready by next weekend.

Alright, I think I have a decent plot possibility set up, some more in-depth descriptions of races and planets, plusgood (lol, Newspeak) grammar, and a new race and planet to boot!

Well, this is depressing... My RP's are always like this... I have to make and remake them... Oh the last one was four times before it caught any attention... Does anyone have any questions or suggestions they could make? I'm still willing to change things, since I haven't fully started yet, and now is the time for you to tell me what to change. Sorry if I come across as being a little whiny.

I thought Desolation Redux was a great RP! It just needed more people in order to catch on, is all...

You should have seen the finalized version of Redemption. It basically took Desolation and slapped it across the face. I had more classes, a better subrace than the "sprite" a larger playing field, and a better background. The only thing it lacked was a main storyline to get it started, and that was a deliberate choice. I sort of wanted to see how long it could go without me prodding it in the direction I wanted it to go.

I had a less than successful RP that I thought would have been good based off of the C&C game, Generals. Too bad it wasn't. crying
