Ok, then I will drag something creative out of my brainPablo Sanchez wrote:If it equates to SW tech in power and utility, it's admissible. For example, Phong uses Fold Drive technology to move his ships, which is much faster than hyperdrive but also more power intensive.Dahak wrote:Ok, there seems to be somewhat SW-level tech.
But what about FTL? Is tthere one universally used "hyperspace", or are the many possible FTL methods? And different kinds of weapons, or all TL/Ion cannon stuff?
The specific term is "chronometric hyperfold," which is slightly technobabble for "a drive that can displace the ship and anything within an optional radius r to any point in space-time somewhere in the multiverse." I usually don't use the time-travel aspect because paradoxes suck.Pablo Sanchez wrote:If it equates to SW tech in power and utility, it's admissible.

Bah. Only a tailless unnamed vatach of a kzin would actually cook his meat.phongn wrote:Besides, the Kzin can't make something so simple as a rotisserie! Meanwhile, the Star Kingdom has e rotisseries for every omnivore and carnivore across the known universe!

Ah hah! I thought so. And with the demise of the SRDC and BoydWorks, I now have a monopoly on toasters!*quietly places order for 2000 rotisserie units*
Remember, if you want it there on time and in perfect condition call Interstellar Express Shippping, quaranteed delivery to anywhere in the galaxy. Whatever it takes IES will get it there.

HA! The Mafiosi have lots of "quality" toasters at very low prices! Meet me in the alley between Gutter Street and Death Boulevard.phongn wrote:You'd be amazed what heat will do to properly marbled meat.Pablo Sanchez wrote:Bah. Only a tailless unnamed vatach of a kzin would actually cook his meat.

Any age, but if over 300, you should explain why you weren't caught up in the Ultimate War(Perhaps you threw off the bonds of your former empire?)Dahak wrote:Just two other things: How old can one nation be?
I think my fleet in the OOB thread should be a good approximation. Small but big pointy teeth.And how large should a fleet be approx.?
The idea is that a colony ship got lost ways before, and started in some totally unknown space region, and just lately got contact with other polities, and thus avoided that Ultimate War thingie.SirNitram wrote:Any age, but if over 300, you should explain why you weren't caught up in the Ultimate War(Perhaps you threw off the bonds of your former empire?)Dahak wrote:Just two other things: How old can one nation be?

Since magitech, Bolos galore, ten thousand kilometer spaceships, and battlestars (actually enclosing stars) have been done before, I would think mechs would work. How effectively is unknown, depending on the opposition they face.Chardok wrote:Does suspension of disbelief apply?

Hey, Kyle, would you mind if I just hung on to Quaynar Industries? I'd think that, having survived for a couple thousand years before, they would be capable of surviving another three hundred... albeit maybe in diminshed capacity given the state of the galaxy.Kyle wrote: Remember, if you want it there on time and in perfect condition call Interstellar Express Shippping, quaranteed delivery to anywhere in the galaxy.

Don't fall for our competitors ads. They may be cheaper but, you get what you pay for. All shipments are fully insured and quaranteed on time.
Don't be entirely surprised if we apply our physics semi-realistically, and blow your mechs apart ASAP.Chardok wrote:Does suspension of disbelief apply? Like giant, city smashing mechs actually being able to fire their guns without falling apart and all that?
Seems a bit small actually. Works great for pirates, but what about those of us that have 15 worlds each with a population over 10 billion, as well as a few dozen colonies and a few HUNDRED outposts...I think my fleet in the OOB thread should be a good approximation. Small but big pointy teeth.
Sure, Quaynar was pretty much based in old SCEF territory anyway, and the UTR, as it exists know, holds no territory that far from Earth, so Quaynar could have survived on some planet out that way under soem other government, or even independently.PROMETHEUS wrote: Hey, Kyle, would you mind if I just hung on to Quaynar Industries?
