(good god this is looking less pirate-y every day) *cough* Anyways, the new design is up. If anyone actually been downloading, you may have noticed that the ships have been becoming increasingly nerfed. The reason for this is to try to bring the design aspect back into my ship building - if it's bui...

It's a doi question, but I've got to ask : will you update the ship database to hold the new file type ? (and can there be a vote on the name :D) Edit: So what you're saying is that we'll need to find alternate hosting sites for the encounter files, which are basicaly archives of scripts and SHP fil...

Aww, but it's hard to write for females ! They have all that 'feelings' stuff you need to write in. And if you do make them tough, strange PMs start floating into your inbox about possible ... actions the character should take with other characters. Altogether, writing for women when you're a dude i...

Well then how about-

KKKKHHHHHHHAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!

? It's a good name, fairly original. Bob the Magnificent, Space-faring Rabbit is mind, though; so I call keep offsies.

Trenchie, mayb- oh GOD ! *sobs*

Edit: Why not name the character after someone from this forum ?

Oooh, the pangs of past love with Trenchie. *sighs*.

'Sounds good. Are you going to be posting forms for people to sign up with ?

I think it has something to do with dark matter, something-for-nothing power generators and space ships designed to run off of teenage angst.

But that's just me.

In a forum full of physics buffs, I'm surprised no one's tried to call bullshit on that.

So by a lack of input to counter it, his suggestion is true ?

Okay, explain to me again : why wouldn't they fight at those distances ? You just said that, in WW2, the artillery would have to travel a couple seconds before impact. Rail guns moving at a good fraction of C are not going to take a couple seconds to impact from a couple miles away ! Your target nee...

Yes, but we're talking about ships that pass through the depths of space . Those are incredibly long distances to pass as slow as battleships. Unless your bullets become larger, as a consequence you've got to hit a rather large target that's real far away and moving at a significant clip. Seconds me...

'Sounds incredibly annoying. There's a point to which realism should be abandonned, case in point, is when you need to wait a month to see if your bullet hit ... or that special relativity (?) gets taken into effect and you're suddenly a year younger than everyone else after taking a short C voyage.

Huh, sounds wicked - where do I sign up ? :D.

Seriously, though, those are some great ideas. If you decide to create an RP, you wouldn't have to worry about my abandoning it ... as long as it's updated at least once every three days.

Persoanly, I'd say ST-2 would be the most fun to play. Monoliths are often win :D.

But just curious : what kind of technologies would the survivors have ? Weapons, equipment, etc.

I tried a replacement, and it actualy helps (a bit). The minor amounts of ablative included are actualy starting to do their job, instead of being pre-empted by the PD.

I think we're talking about ranges sufficient to aim conventional weaponry with fair accuracy, but that maneuvering still has appreciable benefits. But at light-second ranges, ship orientation means even more. Think about it : the further you are, the more accuracy means to your weapons. If you pres...
