New: USS Illustrious-A (free, open-ended, email, human, space, rpg, abstract) From: lindahl@pbm.com (Greg Lindahl) Date: Sat, 30 Nov 2002 08:14:46 +0000 Name: USS Illustrious-A Costs: free URL: http://www.geocities.com/USS_Illustrious Frequency: around once a week, minimum Email: zalfrin@subdimension.com Type: Star Trek pbem Last-Update: 2002Nov26 Keywords: free, open-ended, email, human, space, rpg, abstract Description: The USS Illustrious-A is looking to pick up new crew. The Illustrious is the flag ship of Task Force 72, a division of Obsidian Fleet. She's a highly modified Steamrunner, with a special "ghosting device" nestled between her nacelles. This enhancement is experimental, and potentially quite dangerous. A field of radiation is formed around the ship, effectively scrambling standard targetting computers. As a result, most foriegn ships are forced to switch to manual targetting, making the Illustrious a much more difficult target to hit. Unfortunately, this system places a heavy drain on energy reserves. Furthermore, the long-term effects of operating within the field have not been fully studied. While the ship's hull has been modified to repel radioactive particles, it remains to be seen how effective this proves to be. Currently, nearly all positions are available. The Illustrious is just returning to active service after taking a short break. If you're interested, check out our website. There's no better time to get involved.
