How you jam it if there's a) no way you know it existed, b) nothing to jam, like signals in hyperspace, et al.Stormbringer wrote:And again, what makes your techonology proof against jamming?Dahak wrote:Because there's nothing you could jam in a point-to-point connection?Stormbringer wrote: And that means you've got mystical jammer proof tech why?

Damn, I do need sleep
Oh well, more editing to do.
Since when did you have this capability? I see nothing in the OOB indicating you can do this. I've seen no evidence of this capability prior to you just pulling it out of your ass. So suddenly have this capability, which was completely unknown prior to this, and you're claiming it just because I blew a battlecruiser into dust with an entire Task Force.Dahak wrote:Beowulf, you can't jam an instantaneous, point-to-point connection.

It was always there. Just another application of my drive systems, which are, as you will observe, all instantaneous, point-to-point.Beowulf wrote:Since when did you have this capability?

An ion cannon that can wipe out all technology on a planet in one shot is also just another application of HAB and everyone else's ion cannon technology as well. So I guess you won't object when I have one of those arrive in your home system without warning or any pervious declaration, and use it to fry your capital?Dahak wrote: It was always there.

As well as several instances where it has been seen that people are connected to each other all over the galaxy.
Goddamit, people, I HATE it when folks go and declare a magical unjammable technology.Communications is usually handled via ansible, which is effectively an unjammable, point to point, instantenous communication mechanism

A heretofore completely unseen, and unknown application. And instances where people are connected with each other all over the galaxy isn't especially hard. Take the modern telecom system. I can talk to you on the phone with hardly a delay, while there is an obvious speed limitation to how fast the signal can go. Take it to a galactic level, and there need only be a sufficently fast carrier. Ergo, instantenous point to point has yet to be conclusively demonstated for you.Dahak wrote:It was always there.

It's not that he has it that I'm pissed about, it's that he's suddenly sprung it on us, as opposed to having it previously declared. And I do sell weapons to other powers. Inordinate numbers of Cornerian missiles is somewhat expected when they're Cornerian.Thirdfain wrote:Goddamit, people, I HATE it when folks go and declare a magical unjammable technology.Communications is usually handled via ansible, which is effectively an unjammable, point to point, instantenous communication mechanism
Beowulf has his toys. Let Dahak have his.
Oh, and BTW, Beowulf- There was a Commonwealth patrol squadron en route to the location (note my post about a page back.) The game, I am afraid, is up. You can't hide the fact that a large Stuartian warship was blasted to peices by an inordinate number of Cornerian missiles....
Dahak has mentioned this technology DOZENS of times since the advent of this STGOD, it is central to the culture of his empire.It's not that he has it that I'm pissed about, it's that he's suddenly sprung it on us, as opposed to having it previously declared.

When has he mentioned this technology? I haven't seen it. And I have a perfectly reasonable explaination as to why I was there. I was hunting pirates.Thirdfain wrote:Dahak has mentioned this technology DOZENS of times since the advent of this STGOD, it is central to the culture of his empire.It's not that he has it that I'm pissed about, it's that he's suddenly sprung it on us, as opposed to having it previously declared.

Additionally, the Commonwealth fleet wasn't that far away when you pulled your little jump-and-smash. They saw the drive signatures on long-distance sensors. The very size of your fleet works against it in this situation.
Indeed, but this is one of those cases where people didn't share relevant information and so it's better just to work it out this way.Dahak has mentioned this technology DOZENS of times since the advent of this STGOD, it is central to the culture of his empire.

Should have hit you as well then... ah well...Darksider wrote:you're forgetting that I was on the outskirts of the system when the Black alliance ship started hitting the AU corvette. I was heading in system in full combat mode when this went down. The Liberator saw it happen.
