Putting all the 1upping and squabbling aside for a moment, could I ask the GM something? How exactly are Tier 5 civs going to interact with others? Will more advanced civs need to find us and meet us before we can interact with them? I'm thinking of playing Tier 5 but I don't want to be isolated for the vast majority of the roleplay.

Unfortunately it is the case, to a degree. Tier 5 (possibly 4) civilizations will need the grace of a more advanced faction to happen upon them if they want any player-player interaction. That being said, I encourage such Tier 5 factions to ask for others to interact with them. Ultimately it's your decision what you choose to be, and from there your own proactivity.

"Has the capacity but won't use it" is a pretty flimsy justification.

And if he does then it's within reason to kick him out and reverse the effects, no? You seem to think he's dumb enough to believe he could get away with it.

Either one works.

If you're not interested in making sure that other people are comfortable with your ideas and how they'll be interacting with them, why are you participating in an RP?RP is a collaborative endeavour, not something that can be "won". If you'd rather just appeal to yourself, why not just write your own stories outside of an environment where your actions affect others?

See but this is where you guys initially misinterpreted this. His history clearly indicates that the powerful shit was in their past. If he wanted to win he'd have kept it in the present era of his history.

I lied by posting in the thread as if I wanted a general opinion, the only opinion I really care about right now is yours.

I mean, big bad doom weapons aren't off the board. I didn't say your AI v. AI war era couldn't have used a system-buster, just that your current civilization couldn't.

Can Universe Sandbox even show civilizations, or is it purely just for purposes of planetary systems and spatial mapping? Nothing against it, I'm just more interested in the geopolitical climate than I am planetary bodies.

The only thing it can't do that a 2D map can is outline galactic sectors and name them. Nothing throwing an image of it into paint can't solve though.

I'm still volunteering for putting together a cosmographical map, unless Asuras still has it locked down.

Still working with Universe Sandbox. If it falls through, I'll come to you Theo.

Game developers are not physicists.

I think it was more that they just didn't care.

Anyway, you aren't playing a faction in this Asuras?

Debating. I might do some small Tier 4/5 factions here and there.

ASTA said why would a peace-loving species even have access to such destructive technology?

See this is a constructive question/discussion starter.

In any case, it doesn't matter whether or not system-busting bombs is feasible, necessary, or what-not because no one has them anymore. Period.
