[quote=ASTA] Why would antimatter weapons render a specific nation's shipbuilding approach less effective?@Alien When I get around to my next post, I'll throw something your way. [/quote] Perhaps, ASTA, you could stop questioning every single thing. This isn't exactly an advanced roleplay, and someone walking around in a room questioning every thing that isn't fully explained would make everyone pretty annoying, I think. Unless it's fine to question everything that isn't already explained, in which I'd like to know how everyone's shields work and their capabilities and ability to defend against particle beams, masses of missiles, or any other weapons. And the thickness of armor and what its made out of. ANd how. and um... the weapons everyone has, and what it might specialize against, and also how magic works. That's a big question, how [i]does magic work?![/i]
