Hey guys - so I just remembered how epic Zoids was. And I thought 'what about an RP? :D' Though, probably not for a little while yet, considering there's been a fair few. I'm just testing the waters for interest.
-I am not sure what sort of RP it would be. Could be a single thread, or a multi-one. It would be completely independent of the series, and we'd mostly just use the pre-existing zoids, and add-ons/armors/etc that also existed before.
-Probably a couple armor sets that we could put together ourselves.
-We'd probably be a rebel faction fighting for freedom, that sounds fun. Or maybe we'd be a part of a military federation that's all about defending this city from monsters - or other zoids/bandits/shiz like that.
Oh, there was this - you may not be able to view it unless you were a member of DR.
Any thoughts/interest in seeing one of these in the future?

So first thing, Zoids was fucking awesome. I'd be totally down for this, especially considering I was in the last one way back when.
Depending on the scale, either type could work. I'd go with single thread if all the PCs are on the same team/faction, and multithread if we go all multifaction and so on. Original story set in the universe using the known zoids, maybe with some custom weapons and such, is fine.
Only thing I'd switch up is this bit right here. We're always the rebel faction fighting for freedom. Considering that'd also make us short on supplies and funding for using giant mechanical animal mechas I don't see it being viable in-universe either. A premise with a bit more potential would be 2 or 3 warring states/organizations trying to get their hands on the resident 'unobtainum' of the RP. Probably the zoids' fuel source or something important. A resource war gives you all the setup you need, complete with the pilot's reasons for suddenly being in the cockpit of a jet-propelled jaguar. You could also put in some other behind-the-scenes motives for both factions taking part in this war aside from just resources, like maybe some ancient Berserk Fury-esque super zoids sealed somewhere.
The most important thing would be to keep each side's morality grey. Give both sides justification for their actions rather than having one side be the unjust evil mega-corp and another being a noble underdog of freedom and hope. Make sure when people are fighting for a certain side they have reasonable cause to say they're doing the right thing, and that the other side is doing something wrong. It's more fun that way.
Also dibs on the Liger Zero Panzer!

Lix, I think competition for resources is a great idea. Maybe for the fuel, or for the cores/mines to make more. Or we could have a war about liberating an oppressed country, and preventing detestation to the world. Like taking from the old areas from Cloud Burst...
I am musing on the idea of us being a part of the military. Potentially as special forces, or we could do main battlefront or other roles. We could be a relief effort or something too.
We could be a merc group too. We could do during or pre war. Or even post war in a slight apocalypse setting. We could do scavengers. There's a lot of potential for various settings.
Or we could be adventuring types charting formerly uncharted lands.
We could make space for a tournament too.
We'd have plenty of our of zoid experiences too.
There's a lot of possibilities, but I would like to know about more interest before diving too far into the planning phase.
