Stardust: A Freeform Sci-Fi Fantasy NRP

I've come to the realization that I have no idea what the Terminus' ships will be armed with. I was planning on just going with regular old laser/particle beams/plasma, but I feel like I'd be outclassed by everyone else by a significant margin.

Hmmm, maybe I'll go with something like with what the Reapers in Mass Effect have. Though I get the distinct feeling that molten metal accelerated to a significant fraction of the speed of light would do far more damage than just the big old lasers they appear to be in-game.

@Flagg That just confuses things even more. XD That just sounds like a term for anybody who lives in the Ashlands, which would include the myriad tribes and even (technically) the Singing Hive.

You know that whole energy can't be created or destroyed rule?

Forget that rule.

<Snipped quote by Ophidian>

Thats not generally how Vacuum energy works though, you arent creating energy you are harvesting it from the vacuum, Vacuum energy would probably be best for low yeild power generation though, better for powering probes and not giant battleships

@Lucidnonsense

No, like do they just stick something out in the middle of the vacuum of space? Do they have a machine that has a vacuum inside of it? I don't mean how as in how does the process work.

Stardust: A Freeform Sci-Fi Fantasy NRP

a big misconception is that they have infinite energy. unless i did a boo boo by accident in my app, they can draw energy from vacuum, not infinite energy from vacuum.

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

...Just curious, but what exactly does that even mean? Like, I'm not asking for some kind of in-depth explanation, but I just don't get it.

And yet the seat of power is still seemingly in fairly unaugmented biologicals, rather than Intelligent Megastructures covering planets :p

@Lucidnonsense

Hey man, maybe they realized that creating such things was a shit idea if they wanted to stay in control.

Stardust: A Freeform Sci-Fi Fantasy NRP

So did we explode? I was basically doing Total Annihilation/Supreme Commander but with more space and aliens. And brain uploading.

@LHG100

Nah, I don't think we've exploded quite yet.

And Total Annihilation? Kickass, I love that game. I wish I could find my copy. And do you mean more brain uploading? Since I don't think it's possible to have more brain uploading than Total Annihilation. XD

EDIT: And as for what I expected from the RP... I dunno, probably something more akin to 'realistic'. But not, you know, real-realistic since there's magic and whatnot and I am more than willing to admit I'm not knowledgeable enough for real-realistic. But I wasn't quite expecting anything quite on the level of the Universal Union, but it's not too big a deal for me because of the fact that there's literally no chance of the greater Union getting involved.

Perhaps communicating out of species is difficult, they must learn how the neurology of the other species works or they just send static.

@Lucidnonsense

Well, it is already harder communicating with other species. Between Simulacrum it's a very strong connection; they just automatically feel the surface thoughts and emotions of all the other Simulacrum around them and then also communicate via thought and can tell where others are (they can teach themselves to stop sensing others and suppress their mental link to others though). But with other species, it's essentially just communication. But I'm still working out all the little details and whatnot, and it does make sense that there'd be difficulties when communicating with new species.

Stardust: A Freeform Sci-Fi Fantasy NRP

Honestly, I find it interesting that so many people are pushing the military agenda and the tech agenda. Okay so first off, honestly I haven't read everyone's tech yet so I'm just speculating. But still, I'd think that nobody's tech is so advanced that it is godlike overpowering? Besides, don't you think that when you first meet another space fairing species you ain't going to start shooting at them immediately but rather talk? I'm just saying: wouldn't it be more fun to think about the theoretical problems of when 2 species meet? Like viruses, language, alphabet, science terms and units of measurements? Maybe something as basic as how a machine digitally works could be different?

Again, I'm a bit of a hypocrite here for saying this because I haven't thought of those kind of things myself. Yet still, I think they're worth to look over?

@Legion02

Now I feel kinda bad for making a species of psychics... Granted they're deaf, mute psychics who communicate solely through thought (and writing), but they're still psychics nonetheless.

EDIT: Deaf and mute. Why the hell did I write blind?

Stardust: A Freeform Sci-Fi Fantasy NRP

Would anyone believe me if I said I didn't want to cause a shitstorm when I left?

@Ophidian

Yeah; I don't see any reason not to. The only people who want to cause shitstorms are dicks. You seem like a pretty cool dude to me and totally not a dick.

@WrongEndoftheRainbow
@Keyguyperson

I'd hate to see anybody leave either, so maybe you could just discuss it a bit? And get Keyguyperson involved too, since they are GM and thus have the final say. :/ I just think some discussion could solve this without anybody leaving. Hopefully.
