Well, its not accelerating, because it was moving faster a moment ago. In space, if you give something a push it will keep going until it is affected by other objects gravity or collides, so if you foumnd a great strip of nothingness, you could potentially accelerate the object to light speed without needing to worry about resistance during acceleration, thus taking less energy.

Technically, the asteroid is decelerating, extremely fast, rather than accelerating fast, though obvioisly its at a speed that would realistically crush it (But then, FTL would realisticallty destroy ships too.) but its rather harsh to fly in at literally the speed of light and vaporise... well, everything

And let me be clear, this object is alien to New Condria's system. Its been brought from outside and is now decelerating. So no Duck, it doesnt matter than your moon is half the size... well, actually it does because it means less gravity on the asteroid than in Sol system

I'm going to be quite honest here, I dont defend the 70% asteroid myself. Its been a while since I passed GCSE physics. I defer to more informed judgement on what the speed of the asteroid should actually be. I have a rather lacking knowledge on physics... but then, sci-fi writers don't have a sense of scale, eh?

Even 20% of the Speed of Light is unrealistic for a almost Earth-Sized Moon.At this point Darkwolf's just godmodding to capture New Condia... a irrelevant planet with only a few million colonists and some farms.


And on the other hand, duck, you have been using not one but two uber shields, etc to repel 3 invasions of this supposedly irrelevant planet. Before you say anything about the energy in accelerating space rocks, why dont we talk about the energy required in maintaing that planetary shield...

Oh, and the unrealistic aspects of an actual space goddess giving magic to the race she created, which all share a link with her from her parralel universe heaven...
By comparison, a sentient star would make sense.

People in glass houses shouldnt throw stones...
But your right, I threw some of the most unreasonable devices I could conjur your way, and they were simply brushed off. (Indeed, the most ridicoulously OP beam I have even thought of in this RP, only knocked down the fleet shield for a few secons, and didnt even graze the planetary shield. Considering that, could New Condria ever fall on any legitimate way? For an irrelevant planet, its damn near invincible.

And duck, to me, New Condria is far from irrelevant. It seems from the defences that is actually pretty damn relevant.

I've never taken Physics or any of that. I'm struggling with Chemistry and a stupid teacher.

I've just read some really good books on space warfare. Look up Christopher G. Nutall, I think his name is.

Wait, so you already had this asteroid coming in from presumably another solar system? This attack was planned for about a decade or so then, wouldn't we have realized a MOON flying towards the system?

A decade? So our ships take a decade to reach each other now?

Also, just realised, Wilson you lucky bastard. In the UK, physics is mandatory :(

That's one of the biggest problems, 3-D warfare. The other is the void, and how it works.

I actually required to defend the planet, because of publicity reasons. I have people that actually care, instead of just mindless forms.
And the sole reason the Fleet Shields have been like this is because you BSed in these ships that are ridiculously powerful and OP.

"mindless forms" Well, that's entirely debateable, but there is no time to debate whether they are truly mindless or whether they still think and have some measure of autonomy, it would depend entirely on the Spore forms access to the mind I would suppose, though they are generally dominated by the mind.. Well, they ARE the mind. But hooked onto a host, they certainly have the capability to be autonomous and sentient, but whether any of the minds let them be is more the question. Also, ridicoulasly OP? As opposed to none of you OP stuff. Honestly, a few kinetic pulses, some tough shields, directed energy weapons etc. Very tough, though quite obviously few in number. A bit exagerated, admitedly, and a prototype which will need a bit of balancing(I'm thinking they can either have the pulse or the shields in use at one time, preventing what was going on before and one drifting forwards to tank the damage AND knock away all kinetic weaponry), but not OP.
The only thing I would call "OP" would be the seige engine, which was, admittedly, so far ott it's insane. I'll never create it again after this battle (I'll just say "S'Luk decided it was a massive waste of resources", which it was. I should have just brought more battleships along)

Earths moon? Why on earth (No, that wasn't intended) would I steal the Moon? I was merely comparing the effects of the gravity of Sol's moons and planets on the trajectory of an asteroid against the effects of new Condria's satallites and planets, and admitted that actually it does make a big difference, but that wasn't exactly what I was refering to. I could use Luk System if I wanted to, but as I haven't described the system in the entirity it's easier to rely on the shared context of Sol System. I apologise, I should have been clearer

Edit: How and the publicity thing. So you know why I'm so eager to crush this world beneath a great big boot xD

Sorry for absence. Two essays and a project due this week. Should be free by tomorrow evening. May or may not have picked up Salarian speaking habits.

The Hiveminds will see that New Condria will fall- big asteroid hard to stop. They'll fall over each other just trying to consume something new, and now all of the hives know of it, huh? They'll rush to feed, and they'll all be in one place. If you have the fleet strength, a good place to wipe them out. But i don't think anyone has that...

KEYGUY

Go mess up a warp-jump in the neighboring star system and completely blow up the New Condria System.

Btw, who are you shooting? I'm assuming you were firing at the Hives, but idk.

Still working on it. Originally, the bit about the Draconians invading the Terran space, and the battle post I just put up, were all supposed to be in one. They were taking so long, so I'm just rolling them out separately.

Well, well, seems I've found a way to enter this NRP without having to toil much.
Basically, I took part of an another nation sheet I did for a (apparently) dead rp. Please be kind :)
