Sooo.. Can I start posting? :)

@Dragonruby I believe it's good to have both early and moderately higher species in technological capacity as in this case the Voltar would be a key race that these other species would want to be-friend and use for trade, this allows for more interaction and possible ways to win in your wars against other nations, the Voltar on their own are peaceful.

@Dragonruby I'm not accusing you of thinking badly of me personally, I'm curious as to why you find it weird from your perspective, however it's all fine :)

@Dragonruby I assure you that the age of the previous species won't effect the current species in the future, all it does is allow ties to other species to create early starting relationships for possible role-play at the start, I really don't see the issue.

@Dragonruby Well don't you think it's sort of a requirement for a robot race? That doesn't just appear from dust and nothing...

@Dragonruby

To be honest with you, I never even intended to make the predecessors better than anybody elses, why would I even do that? The predecessors are gone and it doesn't effect anything other than another race possibly knowing of the Vo'. I just did what seemed most suitable and realistic as a form of origin story. Don't worry about my race, this role-play isn't about bettering each-other and I know my limitations, if war does occur I'll certainly give the Voltar many failures and faults to even the score, I'm also open to converse about how events will end through PM's prior to starting.

@ClocktowerEchos

I'm completely open to organizing a previous history with the Aztrovan, perhaps they knew of the Vo', perhaps they have a technological trade agreement with the Voltar, could also be possible that there was a first contact war that last a short period of time before peace was declared, I'm open to many things, perhaps you could send me a PM and we could discuss there? Unless you are OK with just discussing here.

@ClocktowerEchos Don't worry about the plasma, it's only radar protection and general scan protection, you can still see them through thermal scanning and visual observation, they will be especially easy to see considering they are glowing somewhat when they have plasma surrounding them after and before a warp jump.

You are correct on the reproductive aspect, the Nexus creates them by generating it's on A.I fragments into new bodies, this can occur when new citizens are required by the Dominion to fill required jobs or when other Voltar Citizens ask the Nexus their-selves for the blessing of new children which is then bestowed upon them if accepted.

The Voltar are certainly robotic in design and they can connect to electronics but only of their own design, the is because their chip sets are only compatible with their own technology and the technology is completely different, they could certainly use cyber warfare if they wished but that would only be simple things such as communication jamming this would require building a system that's compatible with another races electronics, they are also a fairly peaceful race, I wouldn't really worry about it, I'm not going to have them attack people and take control of their ships, I understand limitations and balancing and I understand that would just ruin the fun, think of the Voltar as a race that rather share technology and knowledge, but if they are required to defend their-selves, they will, however the Voltar are incredibly susceptible to hacking, viruses and EMP attacks, this is their weakness.

We are literally talking billions of years, the Aztrovans may have known of the Vo' when they came to power but this would be when they were almost completely extinct so they would perhaps be nothing but a myth by that point, the war was so catastrophic that almost no trace was found, and any trace that remained was collected and used by the Voltar.

I hope this clears things up. :)

@Keyguyperson

I'm just going to read over your sheet now! I'll give some feedback soon!

[SCI-FI] The Stars Above

@MissingAxis OK! No worries, I'll wait until tomorrow and look for further feedback before posting, if I don't hear back from the others by then I'll begin my first post.

[SCI-FI] The Stars Above

Please let me know when I can start posting!

@MissingAxis

Okay! No problem! I'll edit my nation sheet to make it only radar stealth. :)

Done! Edited. I also clarified the information transference rules in terms of being in close proximity to the Nexus and each-other.
