Yeahp! Mostly in the Star wars direction though, I can do an alright Tarkin and Thrawn Warhammer I have heard of but the ships in general don't interest me, too many flaws with their design and I'd rather not serve 'two' Emperors when I got Star Wars going. Though! I do play Sins of a Solar Empire a lot, which are the ships I based my thought about these ships over. I have played a little bit of Star Trek Online but other than that and playing KOTOR's I & II as well as Star Wars The Old Republic with Star Wars Battlefront 2 (Original), that's around it.

@Mr.Misfit

On a different note, I'm doing a tad bit of research into this universe, so I'll at least understand when you throw murderous teddy-bears at me.

@ThatOneWeirdLostFleetFan

Oh no you read about the murder teddy-bears first off? Sounds like a bad idea waiting to happen lmao. If I brought in anything of the alien races I rather get the Spider-Wolves, Dancers as they're referred to in the Beyond the Frontier series.

@Mr.Misfit

I read a little about them, too, though only a little was actually pointed out. According to the Wiki, they have duct tape. That's the most interesting thing I read.

@ThatOneWeirdLostFleetFan

Oh they wanted the Universal Fixing Device, UFD, from the humans which concluded was duct tape so, hell of a hilarious situation when you get into the books. When he brings out the last Genesis book for the Genesis series, I recommend that if you get started on the series, read Genesis then to the original Lost Fleet series, then to Beyond the Frontier then Lost Stars.

Six comic issues too if you want to read those but from what I've heard, he's going to continue the series. But if you want to have a look at images that actually look nice and you're buying online, ACE Science Fiction has the best covers. Personal opinion of course.

@Mr.Misfit

I'll certainly give it a look. Thanks!

So as far as integrating Lovuthans into this, is there any particular way i should go about it? Main question, where would Love (The human translation for their homeplanet) be?

@ThatOneWeirdLostFleetFan

Not really from me! You can set it up wherever you want, could be linked to the Spider-Wolves or Enigma for all I really mind, or we could set it up as like in another universe. Whatever idea you want to go with will heavily be fine with me!!

@Divine_Emperor

To be honest I am really more like a sci-fi fan when it goes through shipbuilding, management, and logical things except going FTL or wormhole travel. One of my favourite authours is Stephen Arsenault don't know if you heard of him but he writes good things IMAO. But my probably my favourite genres all time (Some genres which not many people know about) Is like sci-fi and kingdom building/dungeon building and management etc. Some authours I have read some times put humans at the top of the line and the aliens to be dumb and stupid as hell can be…
(Have I gone and made this weird??)

@ThatOneWeirdLostFleetFan

No! Not at all! At least to me, Jack Campbell just tries his best to make it seem like that even though humans are weaker when fighting against alien races, aka ships aren't as fast as an Enigma's ship, that when fighting together humans are just alright by themselves. The only race I've seen that is 'dumb' and 'stupid' are the KICKs, (Teddy bear cows) and even then, it's not by a lot. I hope I explained that as well as I could without spoiling anything lmao.

@ThatOneWeirdLostFleetFan

When everyone's readied up with however many ships they want as a fleet or something to the amount, then I'll allow someone else to make a 'reply' post to the one I posted up on the first page at the very top and we'll go from there. But I am Australian so time zones will be variously different.

@Mr.Misfit

Indeed. I'm not sure Elizia's ready to lead a fleet, but she can fill an impronptu engineering role, or stumble upon the fleet and follow. Whatevs. I'm ready to go.

@ThatOneWeirdLostFleetFan

I've pretty much been ready since I first posted this lmao. I don't think Fleet would mind at all having an engineering role being filled but they would be pretty careful either way about her.

@Mr.Misfit

That makes perfect sense to me. Should we assume previous contact as well, so she doesn't have to speak a language she hates?

@Divine_Emperor

How many ships are gonna be in the fleet and is there a group of ships integrated into the fleet? like I doubt that my character was originally with the lost fleet considering he is a fleet admiral he probably had his own fleet that probably was pulverized by the Engima's ships aside from a few more of the powerful or fast ones right?

@ThatOneWeirdLostFleetFan

The ships that are in the fleet, the six since I am not including Captain Casia of the Battleship Conqueror, are from the original fleet that went in to check out the Enigmas, Bear-Cows and the Spider-wolves. (Don't mind where we set it personally, but Fleet is paranoid.) Admiral Geary with his Flagship Dauntless still has command over it but would probably try their best to pick up your Fleet Admiral. Do I make sense there or should I explain further?
