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 :(

No, our ships have FTL. Giant asteroids don't. Even with antimatter engines, it'd take forever to bring an asteroid up to 70% of light speed. I like consistent universes, and an asteroid from another star system being brought into a battle halfway through to fix a somewhat unexpected problem is not consistent. To be perfectly honest, bringing in an asteroid at all is unrealistic unless you just bring them standard in all your fleets. To be honest, you really should have dropped the shield for a moment with the siege engine, then popped a literal ton of antimatter in there. That'd get rid of the problem.

Yeah? Well apparently ducks fleet shield absorbed the siege engine acriss nearly a page long battle. As he dictates the damage, I have after deliberation I have come to the conclusion that the siege engine would never bring his fleet shield down, let alone take down the planetary shield...

And as of the most recent post, its 10% FTL, still outside the bounds of reality, but so is a certain magical species I'm attacking.

Sigh.

Bottom post, the page before this one. WE got an applicant, and the only GM is KeyGuy. So, could you take a look at it and accept him if he's worthy, KGP?

Indeed, it seems so. I am guessing that the second Iscandarian Civil War is on its way...

Nope. Faust can totally control all of the Iscandarians that still have a link to her. She did not do this before as she was a peaceful happy Goddess. Now that she is the Goddess of Tyranny

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

Wait, just the Siege Engine?
Just that!?
The fact that their standing firing from a +1000 ships is not OP!?
The fact that they have a pulse that is repulsing all missiles and kinetic weapons, and to repulse said kinetic weapons it have to fired every single second since mines are hitting the target in 2-3 seconds is not OP!?

You have a horribly skewed defention of OP

Considering the beating you've taken throughout this with pretty much the same outcome? I'm sticking to the people in glass houses argument, duck, considering the only outcome of the entire attack even with my weaponry concentrated on your planetary shield was the flipping fleet shield going down for two seconds instead

Also, 1000+ Ships? Are you including the terrans? They literally showed up, got caught in a self destruct, fired off a salvoe and promptly buggered off! My estimates show that excluding them, your current forces including the Sazkarjhit probs stand at about 300-400 at the very most, assuming this planet had a full sized fleet as its original garrison because... Luck?
For the most part of this fight, your ship count never breached 500, so 1000+ is a complete distortion.

It's mostly the dick-waving, the OOC arguments, Wilson's grude against Duck, Duck's powerplaying, and the 1-UPing that makes the RP so unattractive to new players.The Rageconians and Darkwolf's Death Moon are the icing on the cake.

If you read my post, you would know that they actually utilized the fact that warp drives don't actually make the ship move, and jumped in behind your fleet and started firing. I mean, losses were around 100-200 ships in the initial assault, but there's more than the Normandy, which you assumed stayed... because reasons I guess?

Also, there are still hundreds of ships. Fighting 56. The hundreds win there. Since they aren't, you're retconning that to 200 ships, all cruisers, not OP. This is not a request, it's an order.
GIVE YOURSELF MORE SHIPS.

(Also, the Draconians are here for a reason that I myself approved. They're not here to be dicks to Duck. I can't tell you exactly why they're here, but it's going to be relevant to plot. I promise you that.)

[WilsonTurner]

I think the Draconians need more ships, to be honest. I was thinking that those four fleets would be enough, but well...

When there are already ship numbers closing in to the thousands, and the Draconians currently have about two hundred, I think there should be a boost in production.

So even if you destroy this fleet, you'll have more to deal with later.

Don't worry, OOC thread, it's all over. it's okay, nobody can hurt you anymore.\

Also, REALLY IMPORTANT SHIT:

THERE IS NOW AN OFFICIAL RULE NOW THAT HEATED ARGUMENTS ARE TO BE TAKEN TO PM. BREAKING THIS RULE WILL RESULT IN CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT.

Right, so precision FTL is still allowed? I thought people were all like "Nah" to that because you could jump up, fire, and run off again. But goody, I like precision FTL

Oh I'm gonna enjoy using that again

As a side note, I'll get more ships, and once the planet shield goes down and I can actually begin the invasion proper, I'll bring in an entire invasion force. But apparently, its bloody invincible. I'm wasnt gonna put large numbers of ships on the line until its evident duck was gonna allow the shield to drop...
So basically, I'm waiting for duck or alpha to post so I can finally knock that shield out and begin feasting.

[darkwolf687]

Oh and keyguy, I'm guessing no one important is on the Normandy? I'm thinking I might try to board it and steal a few more memories before the destruction of the S'Ark ship you literally tore in half kills both of us rofl

If there is someone important aboard, then it'll be a "No Endor massacre" type thing

[WilsonTurner]

Speaking of which, since when did we revert back to the massive-fleet thing? I thought we were going with under a hundred, not thousands and thousands of ships. Before we know it, a thousand ships will be tiny, and it'll just be who has more ships. No fun like that, no real battle- just read my post. There's a battle. It wouldn't be possible if two people were going against each other with great big fleets.

:/
It's going to be ruined again.
And it appears that only Darkwolf and myself are really the only ones who were thinking along the lines of under 100, not halfway to a thousand or more.
