Actually you have that reversed, it was Rogue who made a big deal about not being able to hack into the equestrian's systems. So congratulations on making shit up. And I don't remember him ever saying those things, I was the first one to use those arguments back in the MCF reboot thread.

Second of all I did not scare off Rogue, rogue left of his own damn accord after we moved to Roleplayer's Guild. He said he did not want to make a new account on a foreign site. Cale left because he thought me and Keyguy were all buddy buddy, so that is 0 people I have scared off.

Annnnndddddddd half that post is attacking me.

It IS attacking you, and it was Rogue's side because Rogue made some stupid crap up about having a base code of 8 or 9 digits, instead of 0 and 1.

Cale left because he figured you could get away with anything because you were Keyguy's best bud;
Rogue never bothered to return because he didn't want to deal with you and your magic and crap.

I don't remember him ever actually mentioning that to me or anyone, the thing about 9 base digits. Nor did it come up in the reboot argument.

Anything but binary is literally worthless unless it's a quantum computer, so yeah, everyone uses binary. Everyone can be hacked, the only problem would be the language barrier, and everyone has inexplicable translation devices because THIS IS A SCI-FI FANTASY ROLEPLAY. EVERYONE CAN TRANSLATE EVERYTHING IN REAL TIME WITHOUT EVEN A SLIGHT INCONVENIENCE. DUCK'S BEEN HACKED. END OF STORY.

IT VERY MUCH HAPPENED, AND I REMEMBER IT DAMN WELL. EVERYONE KNEW.

Thank you KeyGuy.

Problem, duck?

Also, I wanna PM you about something, KeyGuy.

They never even attempted to hack the systems...?

Well now they did.

Not unless Apollo wants to.

Honestly, I'd leave the hacking debates out of this roleplay. You can't calculate what it would take to actually break into a secure system using yield figures or actual physics; you'd need to be fairly knowledgeable in computer software and how computer security systems actually work, and that's borderline impossible to do with alien technology even if everyone is using some form of binary coding.

I can tell you how much damage a 500 MT vul'kruun shaped-nuclear charge (detonated 250 meters from the enemy starship) will do to a warship protected by 2,000 millimeters worth of a substance rated four times as durable/tough/heat resistant/dense/ect as, say, depleted uranium---but I can't tell you how effective your magical hacking nanites and hyper-advanced computer intrusion programs are against vul'kruun mechanical computers.

Of course we won't get into this much detail over yields and whatnot, but debating over hacking and all of that is a waste of time, energy and roleplaying potential.

On a side note: My faction doesn't possess universal language translators. Might make for some very awkward first contact scenarios.

I just had ONE person 'blessed' by one of the three entities that watch over them. That way, that one Tinkerer will meet EVERYONE that needs to be met and talked to and negotiated with.

Anyhow, letting in on an update, 90 percent done with my post. Damn work has been balls to the wall. I apologize for how long this is taking. I want the finished product to be exquisite. So, I promise to have it up within the next 15 hours. Respect!

Half of that post was an attack on Duck, just saying. If you didn't care then you wouldn't have said anything about him in that post.Also, he's been in this roleplay for at very least a year and a half. It's worked out perfectly fine so far.

If you want technicalities it was - about- you but directed at the members

Just a question ASTA
Would you consider a closed system (system that does not accept outside signals) to be godmodding?

Just a question ASTAWould you consider a closed system (system that does not accept outside signals) to be godmodding?

No, because a system that isn't accepting outside signals or commands actually can't be broken into from a point other than the victim machine itself (IIRC from a conversation I had with an online friend. Said friend is a freelance software developer, website coder and general IT geek).

Wireless hacking is rather dubious at best (which is something you see relatively often in science fiction) and, frankly, doesn't make much sense--unless you swing around sufficiently advanced technology.

Not every species is going to be network-heavy; they may even be devoid of an internet copycat. The risk of system intrusion can be reduced by installing independent computer systems, encryption defences or simply forgoing networks and purely-automated ship systems altogether; instilling a lock-out timer will also help, which can be triggered if an invalid password or access code is entered too many times.

But yeah I'd stay away from the whole "lol I hacked all your ships". It's gamey, weaksauce and flat-out powerplaying to be honest.

Cale Tucker said "No, I came to check on the health of everyone as they tolerate you Duck. I am honestly astounded that they have survived. Who I am speaking of is ASTA, darkwolf, and that other guy that made the primitive nation based off of china."

I'm going to take an egocentric guess and say that by "primitive nation based off china" you mean the Alarai and their pearl fleet.

Never once did I ever indicate they were primitive or generally less technologically advanced than your civilizations.

I think he may be referring to me, as I am the lowly peasant civilization of the group. Posted, much love to you all. *Waves flag of Neutrality.*

FUCK YES

And btw,
Half of you will probably hate what's gonna come up in the next hour in the OOC

Bro I am not disrespecting you. Somewhere across the thread you spoke about several times that, compared to everyone else, you were primitive. Like no FTL, ships were a new thing. Something like that. I'm not calling you tribals, and I mean no disrespect.

I forgot about you Abefroe! My bad! Havin fun dude?

I agree with ASTA, there will be no hacking done by any Septonian force, wireless hacking is just.....complicated and near impossible. Oh and I wasnt trying to hack your ship duck ( Sorry if I made it seem that way) what I meant by 'probe' was see if we could find holes or reconnaissance. Like how you probe a wound with your finger, or get probed by aliens when abducted.

Oh and describe your shields duck. How do they work physically? Do they block high velocity objects when they come close or does is it like a constant presence keeping everything out.
