This will be my first attempt at running Eclipse Phase. Long time fan of the game. This will be me pondering about the campaign ideas shared with you. If you wish to share your thoughts feel free to do so.
I'm writing/brainstorming here as the forums is easily accessible for me in my travel and from work.
The story will be set in orbit Earth or Luna with the character being part of a salvage crew. It will be character driven as there is only one Player.
It will take place in 10AF but there will be flashbacks to earlier times maybe even during character creation.
Speaking of which I will be using the character generation rules from Transhuman. Life Path will be used to generate the character - rolled/choose based on the concept the Player wants to go with. Salvage ops specialist that wants to understand why the TITANs did what they did...
My thoughts are to start said character joining a new crew of space salvage specialists in Earth/Luna orbit. This will totally be depended how the character ends up after character creation.
Welcome! These forums will be deactivated by the end of this year. The conversation continues in a new morph over on Discord! Please join us there for a more active conversation and the occasional opportunity to ask developers questions directly! Go to the PS+ Discord Server.

For the Salvage teams:
1) The one I'm hoping for will have the team leader/manager be an uplifted dolphin that runs a rag tag crew.
2) A mix bio/synth crew of all ex-hyper corps allegiances doing work for said hyper corps as deniable assets to one or more of said corporations. In this I plan to have an Ozma/Oversight agent keeping an eye on this team...
3)Maybe a criminal team that's in it for the credits
4) Titanium Salvage team looking to preserve the past.
5) Reclaimer team pretending to salvage space debris but in reality mapping or clearing a way through the quarantine/kill zone around Earth...
6) Or something else...

Scenes/Adventures I want to see play out:
1) joining the new crew and trying to fit in...
2) First mission pretty straight forward a Salvage Op where the team has to retrieve something pretty simple. During this mission the rest of the crew keep having misgivings as that's how the lost their last teammate - the teammate was re-sleeved but after seeing the xp footage called it quits.
3) A salvation job so big that it involves multiple teams with things going horribly wrong as the wreck will have TITAN adversaries/war machines.
4) the character resleeves or maybe the entire team has to from a previous misadventure.
5) The team gets hired to set up a rave on abandon station just outside the containment zone for a Hyperelite.
6) a vacation on a scum barge.
7)Character's interest in TITANS leads them to a lecture in Titan university or hired for their knowledge by a corp on a research project.
8)Unknowing brushing/helping/hindering Firewall/Oversight/Ozma/Organized crime
9)Moral dilemmas with what to do with a bunch salvaged cortical stacks...
10) Stuck in space after being left for dead, finding a remarkably preserved escape pod in [url=https://www.pinterest.com/pin/498492252484386733/]ship/station[/url]

One idea
A salvage job commissioned by one group that one or more other groups are interested in, culminating with finding a desirable piece of tech and multiple offers for said item....each offer having it's own consequences with the other factions.

Fresh Kills may be where the character and the salvage crew might be stationed on, if not there will certainly be plot ideas to get the Player to visit.
Thanks for the bonus points :)

I think fresh kills would be
I think fresh kills would be better off as a background force with an axe to grind on the pc's

Yes Fresh Kills would be an ideal spot for the "rival" crew to be based out of. However if the Player makes heartless wretch then the character might end being on a similar type of mercenary salvage team operating out of Fresh Kills.
Having said that character most likely will not be villainous scum.
Thanks for the suggestion ☺

Well the fall of a hero can be just as entertaining as the journey to become one :)
