You're correcting me about something that I took literally out of your own words. Wormholes are our FTL solution, and cold fusion is what we were using to power the ships.

@OfWindAndRain

We're not using cold fusion tho :P

@Lady Selune

The Koreans shall use Cold Fusion anyways

@Lauder

Because they're backwards, duh.

Also, if you're wondering, plasma is as sci-fi as we get. It works by superheated contained plasma forming steam, which yadda yadda yadda you know how power plants work.

[Lady Selune]

Also, I'll be posting the first IC post on Monday, so that's when we start.

@Lady Selune

So you're saying via OP that our ships use Cold Fusion, but you're going ahead and correcting everyone that we aren't? Even though it's still in the OP?

I mean, landing my bloody colony ship is a number one priority, since it already offers a crapton of advantages (being a small city itself)- like not having to ship its supplies to and from orbit, and having a great big honkin' power plant sitting in it that could be used to power the new settlement for ages.

@OfWindAndRain

If you've ever played Stellaris, you know what's happening. Park the ship, unload all your shit from the ship, deconstruct ship, then use huge generator to power city.

You nailed it.

can I have china an Australia team up to send a colony ship to the planet? also how violent are the indigenous species of the new planet? I'm curious as to if humanity can bond with the wildlife (sort of like livestock but they're wild)

[OfWindAndRain]

@aonly9470
As just a roleplay, sure, I don't see any reason why anyone would say no.

Logically speaking, though, I'm curious- why would Australia form an alliance with China? Atm, China's actually been a rising country, in terms of power and strength. Their military has been growing stronger, their political power has been growing, their economic might has been expanding. Many parts of their country is somewhat third-world, and yet other parts are very modern. Decades in the future, China could become a superpower to rival America or Russia. The same could be said for South Korea and India.

Meanwhile, Australia isn't too terribly prominently, globally speaking. Australia would gain quite a bit with an alliance with China, and China honestly wouldn't gain much- and no one likes making deals with people who aren't really friends (there's practically no major international dealings between Australia and China, that I know of) and don't really benefit themselves.

If China were to ally themselves with someone, I'd say it'd be Japan, or South Korea (provided that there are still two Koreas, and America+South Korea didn't fall to North Korea- SK actually has US support), India, and maybe Russia. Australia's out of the way, without much power.

[aonly9470]

thinking of lowering the risk of expansion and that by making allies with certain wildlife so that's off the table. the reason I think it'd work is because in the future the developing superpowers would lose all interest in Australia (even though it should be as important as at least Britain) and they wouldn't care if china took it over, so Australia makes a deal to essentially have a peaceful merge. the other idea is that the rogue christian element in china (it's there, ones that preach Cristianity without government guidance and are persecuted for it) become so large that they overthrow the current government and make a complete reformation, leading them to be more open to western countries and with the exploitation of america as well as the distance between them and Europe, they would go for Australia to help them develop into a free economy.

@Aonly9470 The wildlife are much like those on earth in temperament. Some are vicious, some are herbivores that don't want trouble, some are herbivores that do want trouble. There are some unique and very dangerous creatures however, such as dune-like siege worms.

@Lady Selune

Every time I imagine those worms I keep thinking of the siege worms for Civilization: Beyond Earth

@Lauder

Which were taken from the worms in Dune.

[Lady Selune]

Aight, let's get started. My computer is acting funny, so until I can work out why I can't post photos, my claim is in the central savannah, on the east coast of the western continent.

Huh. Ya learn something new every day.

[null123]

Mind if I drop in?

Also if I can, may I ask what kind of restrictions there are on the use of genetic and cybernetic modification?

@duck55223

You can certainly join. As to the technologies...

Gene modification is up to the level of gene therapy for things like hereditary disease risks, or for non-invasive eyesight correction, but it's very expensive. Cybernetics can mimic nerves, allowing for bionic limbs (and once the right tech is unlocked, full-on cyborgs are possible, as well as AI-driven robots,) but that too is expensive, and there's still issues with acceptance. Tech will make all of this far easier.

[Asura]

Staking my claim.

[Lady Selune]

Aight. I'll wait for the post!

[Apollo26]

Can I still join?

[aonly9470]

so are my ideas on the unified china and australia allowed?
