Seraphi

The Aetherian fleet has been mobilised. Requests from my allies have led me to dispatch 20 Rhadamanthus class battleships, along with 20 large carrier/cargo ships, which are transporting a total of 30 million Icarus drones, tightly packed into the cargo bays. Destination is Earth, and control of the troops will be given to Dungeon and Sere. Archimage, you forgot the 1 year acceleration and decelleration times.

It depends on the context I'm using it in and the word that is going to come after it. Sometimes it just sounds wrong to use a certain word before another word, so I just use the other one instead.

Do we actually know how much the engine costs? Also, I assumed that life support would make up a good 40% of the total ship cost.

Yeah, Dungeon already brought up the monster system and why it needed fixing, but we don't have a system for expansion yet. I think we agreed that there should be some effort required for moving into an unoccupied space, but I don't think we could come up with a system as of yet. As for resource mapping, I think that some areas should be given very rich resources so they are fought over a lot. Aside from that, I don't have too much to say on the subject. I'd love to try to make a map, but I'm all out of ideas.

I think I seem to breathe more through one than I do the other. Don't know if thats normal.

Yeah, but I assumed that life support would be a large chunk of the costs, because aside from that, its really just a huge chunk of metal with some guns and communication systems.

((Repeater cranequin, by any chance?)) Using his blue wing, Ares dropped the temperature around taggerung to absolute zero, in hopes of preventing him from gathering more energy.

I have like 12 shipyards by now, plus a couple of space stations. My ships are going to be quite a bit cheaper anyways, due to the lack of life support and such.

You don't know what's going to happen tommorow, are you scared of tommorow? Tommorow is going to come whether you're scared or not, though. Edit: Rocco explained it in a simpler fashion anyway.

Medieval weaponry is cool. I know of a weapon that could cut through multiple armoured knights with one attack, so I'm gonna use that tbh. As well as Kunai, obviously.

Yeah, as you said, you're looking at enormous research times for these things.

((Then how the hell did Grim jump up and smash the meteor?))

Hmm... I don't think moving planets would be allowed. Mainly because the amount of power that would be required to do so would just be absurd. Either way, when the planet is moved, I'm sure that the atmosphere would either be torn off, or everything would freeze and die while it moves through the vacuum of space. It's just not feasible. I'm also unsure how you plan to alter the star's state, would that not require hundereds and thousands of tons of hydrogen or some other light element?

I just realised how large my fleet of warships actually is. It's pretty big.

((Okay, both of you have now been hit by a dozen medium sized rocks which were travelling at absurd speeds, probably breaking multiple bones)) Ares returned to this world, and, upon looking around, he congratulated himself on the devastation he had caused, and waited to see if there was any sign of movement.

"I suppose you people haven't noticed the hundereds of rocks which are about to turn this field into a cheese-like pattern of craters yet? You just kind of ignored them after Grim shattered the huge one into tons of smaller rocks" stated Ares, before disappearing into Psyche again.

Breath of Fire. And, just to be cliche, Zelda and Mario.

Ares turned to look at Taggerung, bored of waiting for Hex to come free from his time bubble. "Was it not a meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs?" He stated in a calm manner, before his red, green and grey wings began glowing, and a huge rock appeared in the sky, heading right towards Taggerung and his small army of dinosuards. Meanwhile, Ares had retreated to Psyche's dimension ((Will now be referred to as Psyche, plain and simple)) to avoid being hit by the huge amount of force a meteor would provide.

Edit: Found it a few dozen pages back. I've brought it up to date as well [hide=Aether stas] Aether stats - 24rd October 2009 Population: 1.9 billion Growth rate: 10% Average income: 45k Yearly Budget: 4.31 trillion [Population]*〖1.15〗^[Days since last checked] Colonised planets: Zypherius (Sega-Res) Orojike (Sega-Res) Ocusa Recpeica (Sega-Res) Dowari (Sinabo) Maekos (Sinabo) Abomizo (Sinabo) Kajea II (Kajea) Kajea III (Kajea) Projects: Quantum computing (Finished) Improved AI (Ongoing) (50 billion per year +1/4 of leftover funding) Project Ares (15/25) (200 billion per year) ARC laser improvement (Ongoing) (100 billion per year) City building (Ongoing) (50b per year +1/4 of leftover funding) Military Space: 1 Hyperion class battleship (500b each) 23 Cataclysm class battleships (+1 per year) (300b each) 41 Rhadamanthus class battleships (+2 per year) (150b each) 3350 Helios Orbs (+150 per year) (60m each, 10b/year) 880 Unmanned Space fighters (+40 per year) (1b each, 40b/year) Ground: 150 million Icarus Drones 10,000 Erebus Drones 1 million Nyx Drones Air: None Navy: None [/hide] Some of it seems to be a little off to me, but ah well. Well Archimage, I think construction of about 6 ships has been completed since you joined, as well as 450 Helios orbs and 120 space fighters.

((Hex, Kaosu Gekido uses all of the powers of all four swords at once, so I used both Thanatos and Maken Valborg in that single attack, meaning it would cut you, and the wound could never be healed. We didn't establish that changing forms cancels out Maken, I was still going by the notion that even if you changed forms, the wound would still be there)) Ares placed the tips of all his wings onto the floor, and the arena began to change. It had turned into a wasteland, there was no plant life, no rocky outcrops, it was just flat ground and a crimson sky, going on for miles.

((Hex, you seem to have forgotten about Maken Valborg, you can't heal your wounds. It doesn't matter if you were made of gas or snakes or whatever, the cut stays where it is, and will not stop bleeding.)) Ares shielded himself using his blue and white wings to create a tidal wave of holy water, extuingishing the unholy flames, if only for a brief time. He jumped into the air and, with a movement to fast for the human eye, Morphed his sword into 1000 Kunai, quickly sending them into his dimension, only to have them appear in a full sphere around Hex and begin flying towards him.

Go Deathdrow go!

Ares launched a fireball at the paper plane, instantly incinerating it, for the lulz.

As soon as the snakes got through the stone, they met the sight of Ares making a lunging move forward, and were cut to shreds. He then used his swords power to move to Hex's side, and slashed in an X-shape towards him.

Ares used his sword to increase the gravity around Hex to around 7 times what it would be normally((Thats the maximum I can make it without weakening myself)), then used his red and blue wings to harden lava into a shield of rock in front of him.

((The only reason that it works is because they don't know its there. If you'd been paying attention, you'd notice I only use that when people have been talking or otherwise distracted for a while before attacking.)) Ares noticed the large snake trying to eat him, and swing his sword upwards instead, making sure to cut the snake directly in half. He backflipped through the air, creating distance between himself and Hex, then launched a beam of energy from his swords edge at Hex, then he used his red and grey wings to create multiple tornadoes of fire, launching them to the side so they would curve and hit Hex from behind.
