Daleks (split from the Culture thread)

[NecronLord]

For those that think the Cultureverse is überwank listen to this:
The Star Wars universe could easily defeat most other sci-fi universes. An ISD (Imperiator-class Star Destroyer) has the ability to render a planet completely uninhabitable in an hour, and has light turbolasers in the 200 Gigaton range. They are easily capable of building and fully crewing a moon-sized battlestation (with the ability to destroy planets) in six months! Spacecraft capable of destroying stars with a single missile and surviving indefinately in the core of gas giants can-and have- been created, even in the Maw research station that was cut off from the rest of the universe for more then a decade. Even more amazing, a large number of individuals in this galaxy have "force powers", allowing them TK, precognition and the ability to read/take over other beings minds. These individuals have been known to compress multiple stars into black holes at will.

What was that about überwank tech?

Heh, it's all relative.

I could bring on the multiple planet destroying weapons time ship (which is unsurprisingly unnaffected by causality) that has undefined FTL.

Krenim get owned when the effector signal uses their comms signal as we hail them.

Krenim? It's the Daleks from Dr Who. They're almost on a par with the Time-lords. Also a hell of a lot more aggressive.

Ah right. Heh, I saw this cool survival guide for Daleks at a bookstore the other day. I wish I had cash to buy it now.

Ah the infamous dalek survival guide ... Where was that? (Its a collectors item of sorts)

Numerous copies at W.H. Smiths in Ormskirk, Lancs.

*Pretends you know where that is*

[SyntaxVorlon]

I remember reading that the Doctor had said something along the lines of:
"Daleks, Cybermen, Mad Geniuses; they're all in the cradle next to the Time Lords. 10 MILLION years of Absolute Power, that's what it takes to get really corrupt."
The Daleks tech is low compared to the TLs and virtually all FTL travel is done across the 4th dimension.

[NecronLord]

Yes the Time Lords are stupidly advanced: on matter transmission "We mastered such toys when the galaxy was half its present size" However they see the Daleks as a threat to them The Daleks have built true time machines (the chase, don't watch it its lame.) as opposed to the time corridors (very cheap and nasty) they usually use. They have also have constructed objects larger on the inside than outside (hyperspace trickery) and developed weapons that can work inside tardises (War of the Daleks, read it it's good.)

In any case they're all feeble compared to Valdemar



Any relation?

Booyah, I'm famous outside the Colony Wars universe.

I need to find that pic of a Dalek at the bottom of a flight of stairs....

Will that do?



Or did you mean that one?

[Admiral Valdemar]

They're both good, but not the one I was looking for (the latter breaks the joke up since it shows the AG field in action ).

It's one of a Dalek at the foot of a flight of stairs like that to the Lincoln memorial in D.C. or Natural Science Museum in London.

I saw a comic strip programme last night with a lie detecting Dalek in it, piss funny.

"Hi, sorry I'm late for work, car broke down and the bus was late."

"BOLL-OCKS!"

[NecronLord]

He he. Would this be the "Fun-ky Len-ny" one?

[Admiral Valdemar]

Dunno, but I'm a-searching for it!

Unlike most DALEKS in the past that used panels located around the "shoulders" as solar-power collectors, These DALEKS use this area to contain the Short-range shield generator plates. Much like Star Treks Borg these adapt to protect. They do have one flaw, they only protect in a lateral direction, meaning the DALEK is vulnerable to attacks from above and below

Subspace Field sensor array

ARGHH. Daleks designed by a trekkie...

Oddly enough the one time daleks did technobabble, they got it right...

Looks quite funky.

I prefer the canon types though, fan stuff is nice but not quite usable.

Yup. Though the G/AG fields for the plunger is a good idea.

It already had a tractor beam or sucker though, didn't it? Some of the flying and assault Daleks need not have these though, they could easily have that hard point for extra weaponry.

Not that I can recall. It's likely though, after all why would they stick with that design if they didn't? Yes it's a hard point, they've had various other attachements, diagnostic equipment, welding tools, oh and flamethowers

I'td be helluva cool to see them fling someone across a room Stargate style with it..

This new series had BETTER be SG-1 level stuff and not Enterprise level crud.

Last I heard there were no plans to make one. (excepting fans)

BBC has been in the process of making one for the last few months with 26 eps a series I think and a big budget.

About Freaking time.

They should get some talented CGI people and good writers.

Maybe we can see the army of ten thousand

They say they are doing it the "American way" by getting a big group of writers together and brainstorming. A new film may be in the works too, not like that shit Paul McGann one made by the US in '96.

I'd love to know why that's neccessery. The concept of the show is rather... unlimited in scope (Any location any time) All they need to discuss is if they plan to kill off main characters.

Wouldn't it be nice for once if they landed somewhere other than britain while on earth? An oil rig would be cool

PS I do know where ormskirk is. I live down the road in merseyside.

[SyntaxVorlon]

I personally hope that theDoctor won't try to sound terribly scientific. Resurrect Tom Baker! Bring back K9 too!
I think that the first series was hilarious with all the anachronisms. In one ep the Doctor finds himself on earth and matches wits with a Room sized AI supercomp with lots of spinning spools of mag tape, the funniest part was when, to test it's intelligence, the Doctor asked it what the square root of 2 was, and after giving a number, the Doctor said, "Yes that's just about right." It was hilarious given that I could find that square root on my wrist watch.
