So! We haven't done anything lately! I feel like Starfighter is getting a bit boring, which is nuts because they're hotshot pilots, it should be anything but boring!

I realize I've been a bit lax in organizing and putting up open posts lately, and for that I'm sorry. Before the next big advancement in Plot, I thought it would be nice to take a brief roll-call and also talk over some ideas I have of what we can do.

First of all, if you have a character in Starfighter or someone who'd like to join, please comment here. Anyone who's done a thread with Trudy trying out in a combat capacity is considered in the department if they want to be, and people with piloting experience are pretty much a shoe-in.

Second, what would you guys like to see more of? Training exercises? Pilots shooting the breeze with each other in the mess hall? Regular PT or drills? I'd like to hear from everyone else in the department.

The idea I had was for a joint training exercise with the Task Force when it gets implemented, a kind of 'worst-case scenario' modeled to look like the crew is practicing repelling another Space Pirate invasion. In reality, the mooks' abilities would be modeled pretty closely after what the crew knows of the Kessek and the Daligig, secretly training the military to repel a Daligig invasion in case the whole thing goes sideways.

And as a last bit of kind of sad news, I've pretty much lost Wash (flieswithdinos)'s voice so unfortunately I'm dropping him. I had a lot of fun with him on the meatship but I think I'm much stronger with my other characters and I haven't done anything with him in months. That leaves us without a pilot and, effectively, without a bridge crew for the Macross Quarter. Consider this an open call for another pilot and more bridge crew :)

So now that I've posted an unorganized tl;dr, please check in and let me know your opinion and any ideas you have for getting this department out of the land of handwave and into something fun again.
