Straha, you just EMP'd something with an Antimatter power core and lots of fuel....

Thirdfain · Post by **Thirdfain** » 2004-05-05 05:45pm

Depends, some are in mountains, some are miles deep some are merely burried superficially.

Seems like I should of just evacuated you all into the ocean...

Hell I've killed off enough named characters so far. I'll bet that the underwater site is OK.

You better get your asses here soon...

I am ready, and we have used up the transit time, so all fleets should be here. You guys just post their arrival and we can go in...

With my somewhat slower max FTL speed, and the fact that the 3rd had to finish off it's operation over Sparta, I'll be showing up about 45 minutes after you boys are all there.

Boomy shouldn't be too bad.

You're in open air, the explosion will be absorbed mostly by the stuff around it, namely your destroyer, the explosion won't be too bad on the city. The Bunker will probably work out just fine.

And besides, your ship (according to the impact calc I have) wont deal too much damage around me on impact anyway...

I think we can safely say there aren't any survivors in the city itself. Underground, probably, antimatter doesn't dig very well. But...

I'm already assuming my party got annihilated. I'll work with it.

The post I put up works, I hope.

Just so you know, though, Andorra is the political capital of my nation. Not Monaco. Monaco is the Military's primary headquarters of the military.

Hope the destroyer wasn't vital though...

You could say I fled with you to the Mediteranian Sea Army Hospital... (where my prince is...)

Given that I'm most likely not escaping the incoming fleet, it's not terribly vital.

The dozens of worlds I seeded with Replicators, those are vital. After all, what good is one big scare when I can come back even worse?

Straha · Post by **Straha** » 2004-05-05 05:58pm

I'm not going to be here for a couple hours. If you need me Thirdfain, Marcao, or Stormy have control of my nation, in that order.

IIRC, mine was in the South American mountains, right? One of them was, anyway...

Well, live or die, it doesn't matter all that much to me. I guess I'll wait for this to be over before saying for certain one way or the other.

Thirdfain · Post by **Thirdfain** » 2004-05-05 05:59pm

Roger that. I'm "writing a paper," so Ill bea t this computer for, um, prlly another 24 hours

SirNitram · Post by **SirNitram** » 2004-05-05 06:00pm

I'm ready enough for the hammer to fall on me. Can't completely render Earth uninhabitable without the weapons fire of a massive fleet firing into the atmosphere to get me!

Bugsby · Post by **Bugsby** » 2004-05-05 06:10pm

Ack, Straha, you put me in Monaco under that destroyer. I had to take a casualty. Dammit. I will be AFK for about three hours, I believe. When the fleets are ready to go, if I am not back, Thirdfain has control, then Hotfoot, then Marcao (in that order).

Darksider · Post by **Darksider** » 2004-05-05 06:24pm

I don't know where my bunker is, so i'm assuming that Reinhasshu is still alive. If you want, you can come in with ground forces and kill his floater buddy, but be aware that it will royally piss him off and bring about a smaller version of the mass genocide war that I previously spoke about.

Oh and Nitram, you may be able to return someday, but don't think you can replace your losses sooner than two years minimum, otherwise i'll treat them as peices of shit.

Thirdfain · Post by **Thirdfain** » 2004-05-05 06:27pm

He's in Tokyo. And it was almost certainly bombed into the dirt. Up to you if Reinhassu survived or not, tho...

Not any time soon. The lesson learned by the Germans in WWI and WWII is that you can't build up a war fleet in under 20 years. Now... you didn't lose your whole fleet, and your production is rather more efficient, but you're losing a large number of capital vessels, including dreadnoughts. So don't expect to bounce back as if nothing happened.

EDIT:
My representative to the Grand Ball left early, so I don't think I've suffered anything more than intellectual discomfort from this attack.

Oh, I don't plan to. I'll be out of the loop for [As long as is plot-worthy]. I'm just having fun and making things more dramatic than endless politicking.

Shark Bait gave me control over his fleet to rescue his ambassador.

Endless politicking is the way things work. I think the reason there are so few real wars in SDN STGODs, as opposed to the ASVS version, is because there are no enemies who present genuine strategic issues. Everyone is more or less equal in power and there is always a second option to war.

Thirdfain · Post by **Thirdfain** » 2004-05-05 07:18pm

Wow, that fleet's a joke. He has no dedicated carriers, only half-factory half-smelter abortions, his cruiser-size vessels are only 230 meters long, and he basically relies on his 12 battlecruisers "Mega Cruisers" to provide fleet firepower.

-edit- Oh, yeah, and his "Mega Cruisers" are also half-factory, half warship- they produce power cores, of all things. WTF?

.... And most of his vessels are only slightly larger than TIE fighters- his so-called "Heavy Destroyers" are in fact little larger than a TIE bomber!

consequences · Post by **consequences** » 2004-05-05 07:24pm

Unless anyone hear has valid objection(or incriminating photographs of my multitudinous misdeeds), I would like to join this universe.
Since we've already got machine cultures, necromancers, mages, vampires and other assorted weirdness, I was planning on going with a Chi/inner energy based uniqueness. Technology would be used, but behind the general curve, just reaching parity with the other powers with the assistance of advanced chi applications.
Will post OoB shortly with further details.

Edit: and I won't be appearing until Earth is resolved at the very earliest.

Actually they ARE dedicated carriers, they break down asteropids and the like to build their own fighters.

Their power cores are singularities. They have Uber gravimetric control. That is how they can produce them.

Besides, fewer weapons=more power per weapon.

And we calculated the power of the Gats... they are in the megaton range for power. MINIMUM. We actually toned it down.
