<Snipped quote by Lauder>Pardon me for butting in while I can't even be sure I am allowed to participate in the game (as a late comer).
But your assessment is wrong. For starters energy shields laugh in the face of EMP which is nothing but an omnidirectional energy pulse in comparison. Similarly sci-fi materials which absorb beam weapons which otherwise would vaporize holes through the ship at least or even blow up cities, would absorb EMP like a champ.

In general when EMP is used in sci-fi it's a very-very-very Hollywoodian take on it, AKA space magic with little relation to anything like the real EMP.

@Willy Vereb

Well, energy shielding is just that, meant to absorb energy, I believe since we don't exactly have true science on this yet. Unless if we're say, a plasma shield, then I think it would be able to negate an EMP missile. As for materials, the EMP just needs to get past the hull unless the entirety of the ship is made of that once substance, not all substances have these kinds of effects against EMP.

Edit: don't quote me on any of this, I'm just relaying what I have learned over the years.

I'm curious, what exactly is tabarium? Is it some kind of new element or is it a compound? I'm just legitimately curious about the specifics of it.

And @Hael there's something I've noticed that kinda worries me. Quite a few people mention the usage of EMPs for disabling electronics. But even in the modern-day I believe that a lot of military-grade electronics are shielded from EMPs. So wouldn't massive star-spanning civilizations shield all their military from EMPs? I'm not averse to them fucking with shielding, since that could be justified as it screwing with the shields itself and not the electronics of the shield generators or anything.

Oh, and I got my Military Tech down, so I'd be happy for any comments.

@TheSovereignGrave

To do so you would have to go through the tedious process of radiation hardening. It would be required for star ships (because radiation in space) by putting various materials, typically using redundant materials, materials that can be easily replaced. I, personally, do not believe you would be able to shield the entire ship from ALL radiation, there is also the fact that since this is set in the future, weapons have come a long way. EMPs are most likely far more effective than they would be now.

Just saying

Then you should volunteer to be the recipient of said suffering, since you so badly wish it to exist.

Well, in the end, isn't the end of human suffering what we're all waiting for?

@Hael

And if we want said suffering to continue?

I sort of waiting for people too :P

@Monarch

What exactly are you waiting for, Madame?

So i lost a bunch of work on my ns sheet meaning it will take even longer to goddam complete :(.

@boomlover

Don't worry, the IC isn't going anywhere yet.

Well, I had a super busy Saturday, but I'm now wrapping up a rather lengthy post. I'm gonna say sorry in advance for the wall of text it's grown into.

@Ozerath

So much text, so little time

My nation sheet is now Pretty Much Done^®. I'm probably going to tie my nation into other people's with shared history, but that can come later.

Indeed it is, and to find it, look no further than the Telzekra, for we are the race of the one true god! xD

Is his name Talos?
