Gravity isn't going to do much for an aquatic species anyway; they'd be accustomed to the buoyancy effect offered by oceanic environments. The entirety of the ship doesn't need to be flooded either, only sections that the crew (if the ship even has one) will be occupying. Electrical systems can be easily water-proofed if needed, which is an obstacle I'd expect a water-bound species to have defeated long before they even made it into space. Ship size doesn't exactly have to be massive, though duel-purposing a spacecraft for deep sea activity may be problematic if only because of how submarines works (if a critical hull breach occurs, the submarine is more or less destined for destruction).

Sufficient amounts of handwavium would be acceptable; warfare for the space merfolk wouldn't be especially difficult, mostly because there's no real reason why it should be.
I was under the impression auto-hits were acceptable in this roleplay.

And, I'm going to say this again, but had you and Suk exchanged PMs planning this story ark out, this wouldn't have happened.
I don't know why you even let the tentacles get that close in the first place. Just FTL several hundred-thousand kilometers from said tentacle creature and open fire with beam-based weaponry and/or FTL-capable guided munitions. Repeat as needed until said creature is dead.

At least that's what I would have done.

Also, that is a terrible picture. And posting it was unnecessary considering you could have just asked Suk to change their IC post by way of a PM or a simple OOC post.

Sukui your latest post is just no.That is power-playing and godmodding. How the hell does one person have tentacles capable of crushing ships, and at that stealing computer information from a completely foreign computer system?Plus I have the feeling these weren't ever mentioned in your app.Edit:Nope, they weren't.


To be fair, no one is going to list every piece of military and non-military technology in their nation sheet.

I know I didn't. Not only would that take an ungodly amount of time to do, but why would I display all of my offensive and defensive technologies for all to see?

As for the computer system bit, hacking and such in SciFi NRPs is almost always portrayed poorly. The biggest offender is how writers present computer break-ins of military-grade hardware/software as something that can be done in mere seconds. Which is ridiculous.
-nevermind-

That doesn't mean Flagg isn't around. They've been quite active lately and, in fact, are online right now. Hit them up with a PM, see where it goes.Flagg's faction is the one with the widest spread across history and the most influence in general - so if you are involved, pretty much at any point in history - with the human realm, you'll likely be wrapped up with Flagg's faction. So they are the person to talk to.


Terminal, if you haven't already, check your PMs please.

What do you mean what?


That comment should have been in response to OP.

Unsure why it lagged like that.
What?
