[OOC] Interference from the Higher Dimensions - SciFi Spaceship RP

[Flamelord]

Back from my trip, working on a post now

[Sep]

Late. So will post the GM stuff but will post the Wraithey stuff tomorrow.

That way if anyone wants to send me a message they can!

I doubt they will but the option is there.

[Flamelord]

You know, I almost feel bad for Admiral Loff, having all this crap dropped in his lap all of a sudden.

I edited the Jotunheim's loadout of ships for more variety.

As for Wave Cannons, I should explain a bit more. The R-9A Arrowhead's Wave Cannon has enough power to destroy only one ship slightly large than it, and the Arrowhead is slightly smaller that a fighter jet. The R-9D Shooting Star's Wave Cannon is longer and more accurate, but takes longer to charge and has just as much potential to miss the intended target. The Jotunheim's Wave Cannon will be large and strong, sure, but for the purposes of this RP will lack the stopping power to outright destroy everything and take a much longer time to charge.

Plus, all of the Wave Cannons are wave-motion energy projectiles, so they can all be negated with adequate shielding of any kind. The Jotunheim's Wave Cannon can ignore that, but it's slow enough to mostly avoid if you can see it coming.

Sorry if this is long and rambling, I just want to justify my secondary ship as not being too overpowered.

@ Sep: Okay just done another post, and responded to the Impy's.

[Sep]

This is going to end up in a slugging match soon. I can see it.

[RogerD]

Tell me about it. But my guys are at least trying to do the right thing. Just need Click This to respond to my posts before I do anything next I guess?

[Sep]

I'll let everyone get another post or so on before it comes to guns, depending on how people reply.

If the Imp's open fire it'll give us a cause to unite some of us under one banner, well either that or we'll run away. Likely though, i would hope some of us would repel them, temporarily at least before reinforcements and find somewhere to hole up together, like last time.

Short post is up. Hailing the Hive because the Wraith are anti-social...

As a side note, all outgoing comms from my ship are visual and audio.

[Sep]

Spaghetti Hoop Loops of doom.

I'm fine with whatever's left of the Magicienne being destroyed. It's not going anywhere else, anyway.

I'll post later today. By LOS communication, would you suggest... Morse code by lamp?

[Sep]

You could always post a letter.

"Commander of the Hive.
Hiveship.
Coruscant
Corcusa Sector
Star Wars Galaxy"

In second thoughts you can't as we have no idea where we are.

Cool, plus it'll be more fun to roleplay swapping tech and stuff. All part of the challenge.

Not sure, I 'spose they could do a tight band subspace transmission, but didn't want to invent something not already seen. So got any ideas? Would morse code work?
I'll try to stay up a bit longer so that we RP stuff if need be

[Flamelord]

I notice that apparently the NSEA Protector II hitting the Magicienne debris was missed.

Morse code would be harder to identify as a method of communication or be decrypted, since at that point it would be obscure and old, like radio. Might be worth a try, but it would be like waving sticks to them. :p

I like posts. So I shall sit and watch for one to appear.

Very true, not sure what they'll do right now to ensure their communication is not overheard. Although it might not be a bad idea if both our polity's come up with some form of encrypted transmission, enabling them to talk and no one else to listen in. Those with sophisticated AI's and subspace comms may be able to crack the code - which IIRC numbers just us two; and the Empire are not great at computer security.

[Sep]

I have subspace comms and I wouldn't eliminate the Wraith at cracking codes.

I thought that the Impy's had holonet which was something hyperspace related?
