Exactly, you just made the only worthwhile weapons I have useless!

Lets just forget about all those advanced and powerful weapons we got from the Equestrians.

I feel that this RP needs a factor of originality in the apps. Like, don't get me wrong, what people do here is good, but people really should do their own thing. I can't say that I'm completely void from this, as my race does borrow a lot from both the UNSC and the Covenant of Halo lore in terms of things such as their religious zeal (Covenant), use of magnetic heavy weapons (Halo), and so on. However, inducting or using a race from something that already exists I feel does not make it feel so...well...original, for the lack of a better term. I feel that it's better when you develop upon something rather than having the source material laid out for you. Whether you borrow from Warhammer 40k, MLP, Half-Life, Star Wars, whatever. So inducting a race into yours isn't bad, but basically copying and pasting the same thing? It feels almost criminal.

When I created Sazkarjhia, I intended to have something where I could use some source material, but I wasn't completely copying off of something, I'm sure that Hacher, whom I know rather well, might have thought the same. Now you can condemn this or not listen, but I merely think that originality feels more organic to play with rather than taking something that already has a full universe and simply making a carbon copy with edits.

Heh, I'm just taking whatever duck throws at me. Both the Trando's and Wookies are superceded by other races already in the Collective rofl I don't even need them, I already have lizard men and hulking apes lol Was sort of the same thing with the Selkath, I just nabbed them because they were throw overhead.

Yay for opportunists!

I sense something within Operation Knightfall...

Hehe :)

[Sukui]

If one would be making a weapon based on this...

Which may probably also exist, because it's a near-light speed proton, and protons are common weapon particles.

But if weapons were named for that thing...

Can you imagine the 'Oh My God Cannon' xD

[Sukui]

Such a simple, overpowered weapon, yet never thought of.

Just fire a graphene ball with an FTL thruster attached to it, accelerate it just a bit below the speed of light...

Boom.

[darkwolf687]

Kaboom, hostile planet destroyed.

[Sukui]

Capital ships, regardless of shield strength, might be wrecked in a flash just from a near-FTL kamikaze.

[Keyguyperson]

And that's where my FTL makes things a lot better, because it works in realspace. Therefore, instead of being near-FTL, my projectiles could travel at unlimited speeds (Imagine something hitting a planet at 100c).

I think my FTL is an overpowered weapon now.

I believe mine is somewhat better, if I emerged a ship within your planets core...

We should probably have some form of rule against this kind of improvised warfare, it does sort of make conventional weapons entirely worthless.

[Keyguyperson]

Not really, all methods destroy the ship. Given that ships are actually pretty important now, conventional warfare would almost certainly be a better choice. And by almost certainly, I mean your people have to consider it a better choice in most circumstances or else.

[Sukui]

If a solid object traveled faster-than-light against a planet, chances are it would go past through and noclip instead of direct extreme impact.

Don't worry, you won't get one of those. Probably because the war is going on. Both sides need more allies, and therefore we will be trying to justify making contact with you first. Besides, I'm writing propaganda every post now. People almost certainly don't read it, but they totally could if it had any significance.

Also, the LCF isn't primitive. It's extremely primitive. get your facts straight!

Actually if they implanted all that technology they got for free they be above most other races and equal to the Equestrians...

Did you give him everything you ever had or just parts of it? Because if it's just part of it he might not actually be able to implement it, and also, it actually takes time to replace all your technology and might be met by opposition. After all, you did just sort of take a dump on anyone who's been developing and testing a new technology in the recent years, as well as anyone who's a manufacturer and now has to implement a new piece of technology after having just implemented some, or anyone who makes a living making the old technology and would now have to learn everything about the new (Which isn't like an upgrade from phone to phone, it's sort of an upgrade from 1700 tech to 2014 tech to make that comparison for you, and in addition the technology is entirely alien, which probably doesn't follow the same design conventions so that's yet another thing to learn) It'll take time to implement :P
