Seraphi

Oh for gods sake. I had already sent ships to Eriko, don't pile people. Besides, we already agreed that Japan nuking itself was silly, so the ships going there really serve no purpose, but I can still use them as a deterrant to stop him sending more ships.

I have like 1000 Helios orbs scattered around Sega-Res, you'd be kinda screwed if you decided to start there :mellow: Also, wtf is happening?

"So be it", stated Ares, as he vanished into Psyche,

((The gates of light are still made of light, which would still get absorbed into the ring...))

Ares used Kaosu Gekido to increase the gravity in the area sixfold, meaning he could no longer stay airborne, and dropped to the ground. The arrows that Grim shot were also too heavy to fly, and fell to the ground very quickly. He used his blue and purple wings to cancel the heat and light energy out, instead of absorbing it.

Robotics and computing. I'm the most advanced in the thread by quite a while (I think) in that field, with fully functioning quantum computers, a very advanced AI and very efficiently designed robotic bodies.

"I think you'll find that the energy is mine. You guy's really aren't getting this, are you?" Said Ares, drawing the energy into the ring on his back. before reforming Kaosu Gekido again, and proceeding to form a large six coloured shield on his other arm.

Rpg is right, H. orbs wouldn't target fighters. There's a chance that they will suffer friendly fire, but the targeting systems make that chance very slim. Just because it isn't an offensive weapon doesn't mean it shouldn't have advanced targeting systems.

Yeah, alright, the radiation thing was taking it a bit far. If ships can't come out of warp between jumps, how did you ambush me? 70% of my forces on Earth may have been destroyed, but now that I'm using my old factories I can produce them without having to go through the whole transport business. THE ARC CANNONS WILL NOT TARGET MY OWN SHIPS. IT'S NOT LIKE THEY JUST SHOOT RANDOMLY OVER AND OVER. I'm bolstering ship production by syphoning a ton of money into it to build more shipyard drones. The extent of this increase will be shown tommorow.

Alright then. Its a hollow shell with a set of six ARC cannons inside, each one facing in a different direction. There is a hatch at the point of each one so that they can fire without destroying themselves. They have small jets on the outside to allow for rotation. The shell is about 1.5 metres thick. They are programmed to target enemy ships and avoid targeting allied ships. They are designed as defensive turrets, and there are actually multiple hundereds orbiting each of my planets (I think around 600 per planet)

They're about the same size as the lasers on the Rhadamanthus ships. It's still enough to do a lot of damage, but they aren't as powerful as most of my ship based ones. A fleet of 30 Rhadamanthus battleships, one Hyperion ship and 10 Cataclysm ships has begun moving to Recea Decimus. Accompanying them is one of the Ares prototypes.

Well, I suppose the Lichtes are very much my enemy now. And since they've killed over 50 million citizens, a heavy handed blow would no longer be overkill.

Dusty, I think you overestimate the size of the cannons. The Helios orbs are about 35 metres radius. They have a large shell around them, as well, which prevents some damage, but they are a lot easier to take out than my ships, yes. Doesn't really help when there are hundereds of them though. In response to the round ending: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Who the hell gave the order to use a nuke? (Also, minor sidenote: Project Ares is completed, no more weakened prototypes.)

You think I would leave that large a flaw in their programming <_<

Helios orbs are primarily for planetary defense, but I thought up a little tactic to annoy enemy fleets, I simply scatter them over the battlefield and let them blast away. Each one packs 6 ARC cannons in different directions, and they can all fire at once if the situation requires it. They basically just spin around raining death on nearby enemy ships. The alloy Archi is talking about isn't really an alloy, it's the metal I discovered, but calling it an alloy instead of a metal really makes no difference. Its name is Nerexcite, for the record. It's an extremely radioactive material which coats the inside of all my ships. If any ship is destroyed, the material would presumably leak over the battlefield. And a lot of ships were destroyed, meaning there was a lot of Nerexcite around the battlefield. (I did explain it, multiple times, actually. It's a counter measure against infiltration and hijacking. Any biological life that enters one of my ships is bombarded by massive amounts of radiation.) I presume the main downfall was telling your ships to target the carriers at all costs, because that would give perfect oppurtunity for my ships and orbs to pick off your ships. (I just realised I sounded like a morally superior [wagon] just then, so sorry about that)

Alright then, thanks.

Can you perhaps say exactly which ships were destroyed? Sorry if it causes a problem, but it lets me update my stats a lot easier.

It's surprisingly simple. But we need to wait till the 23rd to give Archi time to sort everything out, then it'll probably be easier to show people how it works with a demonstration. You still need a unit roster, except now the unit's map grid symbol needs to be a 32x32 pixel .GIF file, so that the program can use it.

I thought some wierd phenomenon made camera equipment fail? Along with compasses and such. Probably magnets of some kind.

Please, no, that would lead to them both trying to kill each other with words for the next 5 pages.

Why the hell not. My plans went down the drain anyway. Stupid peace treaty.

I think calling Doom a stalker is a bit extreme? She looked at a profile page with some information on it. That MUST mean that she has an unhealthy obsession with you.

Bah. I'm going to continue building forces on Earth anyway, using the factories in what used to be Aether. A new vehicle is being produced, the Prometheus tank. Details come later.

Dusty, my drones got into Paris through the rivers. They had rubber casings attached and were walking along the bottom.

I don't understand how 2 million drones were killed by a few bombers, I mean, they were spread out around the centre of Paris, and they were well fortified in buildings and such. not to mention that nobody specified about taking the generator out, which means paris is now an electrical wasteland, where anything that isn't a machine or immune to electricity gets fried after going near what was previously the eiffle tower, but is now a pile of twisted metal.
