Roleplaying Aid: Trucker Communication

[starjump]

Well, again we hope soon to arrive Wings will improve on interaction. They said comms will be improved for that as well as being able to group up. Personally i havent had any issues with comms, but i might been lucky.

Cheers for the list Mossfot. Having played in the mil sim community for many years (decade(s) lol)) lingo and abbrevation have always been a part of it. Im a bounty hunter mostly though so we might have to work out some cool list ourselves.

Actually I've been adapting one from the Star Wars RPG that should work nicely. Will post tomorrow in a new thread.

Okay, so I've decided to delve a bit deeper into this, and compile a list for bounty hunters and for pirates/privateers.
I'll get around to Miners and Explorers later. Let me know what you think

Special thanks to the intrepid explorer Erimus for his input and suggestions on this!

I have a problem with;

Dragonfly - A ship with no power/thrusters/fuel. Dead in space.

Reason: Dragonflies are the most veracious predators (for their size) and phenomenally maneuverable in flight. Now if this name was given to a fully pimped fighter, I'd understand.

and have you looked at this thread yet?

Yep, I have that linked at the top with the other links (and credit given where due ).

Dragonfly is old school trucker lingo for a truck without power. As in "Drag up hill, fly down hill". While I could change it, and I do get your idea about dragonflies being vicious predators, there is something to be said about the longevity of certain terms that long outdate their origins.

If you have a better term to substitute it with, maybe I can rename dragonfly as nimble fighter (as in a tucker being swarmed by dragonflies)

Added "Oh-Seven" as a method of signing off, because it is used by space station traffic control from time to time.
