What low tier nations?

Obviously my guys.

They just telekinetically fling rocks at their enemies.

I promise i'll make better posts; I just needed a starting point to go off of. I wonder how Atras C will do when others start showing up just because.

Anyone else have colonial interests in Atras C? Its a pretty planet I can assure.

Somewhere around Atras C

Atras C is a world that orbited a A class star. Its plants were shiny as to reflect the blinding, harsh light. Orbiting Atras C is a space station run by a O named Ogre who just barks down orders from above, assuming the colonists are paying any attention at all.

However, Ogre while scanning the world for the sake of mapping it and doodling grotesque pictures on it out of boredom notices something odd. What is that odd thing ogre noticed?

Why, all the colonists died!

If you were to look into the mantle of Ogre, one would realize that it was confused. After all, how could a colonization mission on a radiation heavy star around a barely habitable alien world that is so garish in color that it looks like a little kid smeared rainbow colored shit all over the soil? It didn't make sense. O are a advanced interstellar civilization; there is no way they could have fucked up such basic colonization mission. Clearly it seems, something went bad down there.

However Ogre was too lazy to do anything about it by zerself so ze just called up one of the ministries ze thought would do the best job- the ministry of universalist military democracy, of course.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

Some mechanics are a necessity, if only to keep players from doing things that ruin the setting like deciding on a whim to make up five planets in a RP that takes place across 4 star systems [which turns out to be quite large even when you have spaceships and warp gates]. For instance in a space RP that takes place across 4 star systems a interstellar alien empire suddenly becomes rather plot wrecking if any player could on a whim make one.

Similarly PoW would have turned into a fallout-esque RP should nukes have been a thing and needless to say the subject of gunpowder based weapons in a fantasy setting can end up rather sore even though early gunpowder weapons were pretty shitty. After all, why use a arquebus when a composite bow is just as good if not better?

How long do you suspect it will be?

Whoops, I should have clarified the duel to the death stuff...

It's fine; your app is still accepted.

@Sigma you're accepted

Please do not post in the IC yet; i'm waiting on Iso here.

Also, made new archives:

True, after all a living organism couldn't have endless energy. My guys sure as hell don't and regularly use tech to keep powered up when possible. And not to mention when a sentient uses magical field I don't think they'd be able to move or go on the offensive [my guys certainly don't] so it's fair enough; I just dunno about spamming them like that.

However I don't see why a shield couldn't be overloaded by spamming projectiles at it in quick succession to overwhelm the whole matrix of how much energy is fed into it.

Planetary energy shields probably would only exist on certain worlds worth setting up all the infrastructure required for that on; I can't see a developing colony having one.

However, concerning the Le'r all I can ask is:
Worms that eat through titanium that you can send in the swarm?

And I thought sentient hyper-telekinetic spheres of flesh would be pushing it which is why I gave them logistical limits.

The vul'kruun are currently waging a war of absolute extermination against an interstellar civilization of moderate size; this faction ran afoul of the vul'kruun masses when its leaders decided to capture the vul'kruun's only planet, which was Vru (their homeworld), and razed it to the ground. Vul'kruun are more in tune with their primordial primal instincts, and tend to run off of impulses rather than rational thought. Naturally, they saw the aggressive nation as a rival predator, and have since sought its annihilation. To the vul'kruun, their enemy are nothing more than incomprehensible xenos. They have no idea why this intelligent species assaulted them. The situation is a more realistic outcome on what would happen if two completely alien factions made contact with one another. Perhaps the Os had something to do with it.

Hmm.

Wasn't really thinking much realistically with all the magic in this RP.

Than again my idea of diplomatic talks was my guys just going "OOoooooh" the whole time.

Incomprehensible and annoying!

As for what Os had to do with it, i'm not sure. I may need to read their app again. I think they're like the aliens you had in EH before you left, but the different context may heavily change how they are here. For instance, they may have psykers that can manipulate nuclear energy to fry people for all I know.

But I suspect they'd want to try screwing over the moderate sized alien faction however possible and try using your guys as a means to indirectly attack them by trying to negotiate such tech sent their way.

But being that you're following alien-alien rules this is probably not possible.

I don't even have shields, just really thick armor. Mucho energy-efficient, more room for armor and engines and stuff.

But my guys are sentient balls of flesh. They need powerful psionics to balance that and logically work at all.

However instead of using magic as a amplifier of tech I used tech as a amplifier of magic.

Unicorns are capable of projecting force fields ya know.

So can my guys, your point?

Still if darkwolf's being honest than yeah that does sound a bit unfair to everyone else since when it came to my forcefields I figured you'd be able to overload them after enough hits although generating force fields on the fly seems rather wanky.
