Option one. I don't want to be randomly placed and I want to choose my spot.

Plus, I don't want to be place next to a nation, that will just declare war on me as soon as the IC starts.

Worry not! That'd be a totally garbage thing to do, so I wouldn't dare. I'd bet my nation is the only one you'd have to worry about on that front.

My nation is more than likely to be warring against themselves. Or helping others war.
The entire nation is mercenaric after all.

Pretty much done my NS, just have to put in a bit more on their history and do their outlook. That and explain why their ships implode when their reactor is breached.

That is to say I've updated the old WIP

How about using controlled mini/micro singularities as a power source?
Because of the methods that keep it stable remain for several seconds even after the engine's destruction the black hole consumes your own ship and then to whatever warp/hyperspace mechanim it simply pops out of existence instead of violently evaporating.
Or you can use some more abstract kind of singularity which pops out of existence and dumps the ship's material along with itself to hyperspace/subspace/etc as part of its natural mechanism.
Said exotic singularities are easier to control (once you know what you are dealing with) thus preferred over any kind of black hole engine design.

In spite of the fact you usually only find black hole engines in ridiculously powerful things for sci-fi, they are actuall quite tame and a reasonable method to power warships in the future. Actually the essence of how black holes evaporate makes massive black holes as the power source rather impractical unless you use plenty of space magic/handwavium.

Well my minds been stuck on this little tid bit recently

most energy sources in use today run on pressure. Like a steam engine, energy is used to boil water to make steam at high pressure. Then, that steam is released through the steam engine to make mechanical energy to run electric generators.

But Nature uses the opposite process. It uses a temperature drop to produce a spinning low pressure mechanism to produce a Tornado or a Hurricane. These storms release tremendous amounts of mechanical energy in the form of winds.
Someone talking about Viktor Schauberger


I'm thinking of that if some sort of 'tornado' were mechanically sustained, contained in a bubble of forward time dilation passing into a second region of 'slow' dilation and finally utilized to generate power it would work. Since if the bubble 'popped' you'd be hit by thousands of years worth of output all at once and turned inside out.

But singularities do sound much easier.

I only have one species left to flesh out! Then I can get working on the technology and military sections! And after that, I get to come up with three new religions!

Never let me make an app ever again!

Just a basic reiteration: The RP Officially Starts Today.

When? I have some things on my schedule for most of the Early day. So expect the thread to be up around the afternoon or evening (Most of the Introductory post is already written, I'm just sort of busy today. Go figure.).

Before I post the IC, I will go back through the thread , rereview, and accept anybody with a sufficiently filled out nation sheet.

I will also be posting the MAP, along with a LEGEND and a PRIMER. @Nilesapa, I have thought about what you said and have rethought my initial approach. I believe your concerns have been adequately addressed. Caveat emptor.

@The Grey Warden, I will permit you to select your own location on the map after it is posted. Be aware, future applicants - as well as those who simply have not yet had time to complete their nation sheets - will be placed as they come. Which means any of them might and can be placed next to you after you have placed yourself. Otherwise known as Letting You Live With Your Choice. True Vacuum Shenanigans ho.

That is all for now. I'll be back again later today.

Not that I'm complaining, I'm as eager to start as anyone and am overjoyed to be starting today, what happened to:

EDIT: In other news, I have decided that the official date for the start of the IC will be Monday, July 20th. Expect an IC opening post then.

I always had the feeling that July 20th was a sorts of typo on Terminal's part.
In the OOC he always talked about the Monday of the following week (which is this one).

Terminal, I sent you a PM regarding my completed NS and application. Especially since the IC is beginning today, I would be grateful if you could give it a look.

Thanks.

Argh, I was expecting a lot more time to finish my NS. Plus I'm busy today; I'm currently visiting my Aunt, and then I have to go over my friend's house to work, and then I'm gonna hang out with my friend. So I'm probably not gonna get much (anything) done until tomorrow.

@Beach BurritoBy any chance were you inspired by Doctor Who? I mean the sentient fat part. I can vaguely see other inspirations but overall this is a quite unique species to play as.
Must be a challenge to play with them, though.

Funny thing is I've never actually been able to sit through a single episode of Doctor Who. New or old. Just go out of my way to make alien races sufficiently alien when I do NRPs.

Toyed with the idea once of making a NRP where one of the big rules was you couldn't make a species too similar to someone else's. I.E. if the first guy makes a humanoid--that's it--pick/create a different body suited for another world.

You're out there making crazy, original alien species and here I am with three humanoids and taking ideas from Star Wars.
