RPCS Manual

The Rakata Power Combat System (RPCS) launched in our simulation in August 2026 in beta mode. The Force HUD (Heads-Up Display) interface had existed since 2009. At that time, FCRS creator Cindy Kellner granted limited access to her system and released "no-mod" scripts, allowing any capable developer to create their own HUDs for FCRS. We were among the few to seize this opportunity—with valuable assistance from an SL scripter named Uber Rosca—and created our own. The new concept for this FCRS-based HUD involved a "Mass Attack" feature; while this deviated from official canon, it made combat far more spectacular and dramatic. Unfortunately, once FCRS ceased operations, further development of our Rakata Power HUD became impossible. But, as the saying goes, ideas never die. After years of using other systems, some players expressed a desire to revive FCRS or create a new system based on a rank hierarchy. That is exactly what we did—this time, entirely with the help of AI. The base script was created under my close supervision using Grok. At one point, Grok refused—yes, that can happen—to create a version linked to a server-side database. Development continued with ChatGPT, Gemini (which optimized the script, though perhaps too radically), and finally, the paid version of Claude. By early September 2026, a beta version for melee combat was operational, featuring rewritten Force HUD scripts and a health regeneration add-on (known as "bacta"). It took me two weeks of spare time after work to create it. I can't say it was easy—after all, I'm not a scripter—but thanks to AI, it turned out to be possible, and our RPCS is now up and running. A description of the system and its key features follows below. Every notecard handed out in world, in one place. Newest changes are at the top of each card.
