Hegemony-V2 begins page 302

[Wisp]

In infantry warfare, I stand by this. Lasers, PEP's, whatever are expensive. The energy for one shot probably equals the cost of thousands of bullets. Railguns are awkward to use, and take power. Bullets work just fine, they're cheap, abundant, and powerful.

[The_Mather1]

Doom, the power needed for one shot is maybe the same a laser pointer uses in ten seconds.

 

I don't see the difference between a PEP that blows somebody's head off and a normal sniper that blows somebody's head off.

 

I think I'll stick with my silent, reliable laser weaponry.

While snipers may, if using large enough calliber bullets, destroy heads, while PEPs would literatly splat them all over the walls.

I think they're silent as well, as what I meant with "explode" was that the plasma expands violently in a sudden burst.

[jasignhagj]

ill sell you a carbon-silicon-magnesium-calcium natural creation for 2 trillion. It has skin cutting powers and can one hit kill people, even from range

Remind me when you got these weapons?

 

And you clearly know nothing about plasmas and lasers if you think the power from a laser pointer could blow someone's head up.

could I make on bigger? Would that give it greater effect.

[Seraphi]

Doom, my Pulse rifle delivers roughly 2.5x the power of your average US army regulation rifle in 2009 (Don't know the make :unsure: ), so I don't think its overpowered.

I make up for the expensive ammo with increased accuracy, so little is wasted.

 

Except the Blitz cannon, that just [bleep]s up whatever it hits in ways that science barely understands, and costs a ton to fire. Like 100m per shot. Don't expect to get hit by barrages of those things, they're expensive to produce as well, at around 1b each. And they can be used like three times before the parts start melting or getting irreversably damaged and it becomes incredibly dangerous to use. If the ARC crystal is fractured and the beam goes downwards or something, bad things happen.

I started keeping a word document of all my assets, so that should make things easier to keep track of :smile:

[ThurinEthir]

Oh right, my scientists reached Qyella.

It's a rocky planet, and the OP says:

 

"Rocky planets are very mountainous, with only small lifeforms and

very little plant matter. They contain a lot of minerals and

other resources.

Rocky planets are very prone to earthquakes and landslides."

 

But nothing about the size of the mountains. I'm assuming "very mountainous" only means that there's no flat land at all, not that everywhere is full of gigantic mountains.

So I'll use a RNG to determine how big the mountains generally are.

1-15 will mean hilly. Not tiny little hills, but not exactly mountains either.

16-40 will mean pretty tall mountains, similar to the Alps. Habitable, but not exactly ideal living conditions.

41-75 will mean tall, like the Andes. Also habitable, but really can't support too many people.

76-90 will mean very tall. Think Himalayas. Maybe not all as high as Mount Everest, but a few up there.

91-100 will mean extremely high. The lowest peaks will be the height of Mount Everest, and the tallest will be much higher.

 

The result is 62.

Similar to the Andes. Interesting. The planet is still being completely mapped out, so I won't make any specific plans yet.

I'm also going to pick up the pace of the continuous research/development of automated turrets now. (SURGE IN FUNDING EXCEPT NOT. Oh, and I don't mean that I don't have them yet, I mean that I've had them for like 50 years, and I've been continuously improving them for 50 years, but now I'm improving them at a faster rate)

[Wisp]

For rocky, I would say that it has way more mountainous terrain than not, but not 100%. Mars is counted as rocky. But I like your system.

 

It is a surge in funding, but a necessary one. Recently we had a breakthrough in project CAD, and the final bit needs additional funding for it to be completed soon. 400 b has been diverted from quality of life improvement ongoing research, to CAD.

 

EDIT: It's mostly equipment the money is going towards, rather than more researchers.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

Incase anyone missed it, I've moved into all of the planets in the Fadou system now that grim has left.

[Seraphi]

Ah yes, my efficient city plans as well.

Basically, every home will only have the 'roof ' exposed, the rest will be below the surface. In the parts below the surface there are 2 other layers of houses, which means each 'cell', is actually 12 houses. A lift will be operated to get people in and out of the houses. All other buildings will work like this, except factories .etc, which will go slightly above ground to deposit their produce, of course.

 

There will be a small rail running along each gap in the road, and automated turrets similiar to my goalkeeper guns, except they use ARC pulse rifles, patrol these rails along set patrol routes, making sure that the city is almost crime free and well defended in the case of an invasion.

 

Picture:

[hide=City plan]

[/hide]

Each square is a house, so in each 2x2 cell, there are four houses. In this particular 16 cell area, there would be around 10 autoturrets.

 

The 'roof ' of each house will be a solar panel.

 

 

Ps. Kirby, you realise that its difficult for humans to colonise aquatic planets, right? Did you change your race or not, I can't remember.

But anyway, if you didn't, that aquatic planet is going to be negative for you until you can develop some kind of floating city or something :-|

[spoiler=PEP research]

Time for another diary research(start time 22:00).

 

It comes to my mind that the drone smart-missile is the only weapon I possess, I realize that is one big error I must correct...

 

I have been doing some research in order to choose which type of weapon I shall produce, and I decide to go with Pulsed Energy Projectlie weapons....

 

PEP's should be easy to make I guess, but first I'll need a dimmable laser-pulse emitter however...

 

Almost as easiley done as said, who would have thought the previous U.S. Army would have prepared the first part for me, now I'll just have to build it...

 

Hey this thing works already, hey wait a minute slave, weren't you supposed to be dead now? Damn, it seems that if I want an Pulsed Energy Projectile weapon made properly I'll have to do it myself, but I'll record that frequency for later though...

 

Now with the capasitors changed this would go like clockwork... Yes, he's dead! Now it'll just be the matter of making this small enough to carry out in the field...

 

Man that was a whole lot of small parts, but with that hydrogen batery it'll shure last long before reload, I'm shure that being able to change to stun only will be usefull and with that skin, the enemy will never know what hit them...

Research diary end(22:45).

 

The PEP weapons are being made IRL thus did not require any noticable time.

They work by emiting a sertain invisible laser that does no harm but creates an explotion-like effect by making and expanding plasma at hit.

My weapon looks just like a P90 with clip-shaped hydrogen bateries as the power source.

 

 

 

And it's not the laser itself that does the damage, it is the plasma created on impact;

Pulsed Energy Projectile or PEP is a technology of non-lethal weaponry currently under development by the U.S. military. It involves the emission of an invisible laser pulse which, upon contact with the target, ablates the surface and creates a small amount of exploding plasma. This produces a pressure wave that stuns the target and knocks them off their feet, and electromagnetic radiation that affects nerve cells causing a painful sensation. The technology can also be used as a lethal weapon, and indeed an early name was Pulsed Impulsive Kill Laser (PIKL).

Iv already colonized both aquatic planets. Im submitting the list to Doom now.

The OP says that they're 90% water, so theres still 10% land to colonise. And I'm not colonising it, civillians will live on Yexenus - but experminents and mabye some industrail work will happen on it.

[The_Mather1]

Monday I finished upgrading the neural controll systems but I forgot to tell you exactly wwhat the upgrade was;

jumpers are now controlled by touching the drivers side front panel and consentrating, the tel'tacs now use a spheric device on a thick stich that works the same way and all others use chairs that are activated when leaning back.

[Seraphi]

That was a stupid mistake of mine.

After discussing with Doom, we decided that it needs to be 99%+ water, because 10% is still the size of Europe.

Wait, when did you annoucne this?

[Wisp]

Mather, I dispute that. Again with the real life=no research time. You weren't even around during a time when the US existed in this game. Plus, the US's one weighs 500+ pounds, and doesn't kill, and takes a ton more power than some laser pointers.

[jasignhagj]

@kirby - just a sec, im looking it up

[The Dark Lord]

First of all, I would like to commend Mather for his behaviour today. He has cut down on some of the silliness, and he has also contributed to the thread with a new, prettier Hegemony signature. Well done, Mather! :thumbsup:

Part VI: 4/14 (20b/year)

 

 

 

Naval output continues. Eighteen Shock-class cruisers are being created for this year. This will cost 108 billion.

 

Civilian training is done. Now, civilians will be trained when they are between 18 and 25 years old.

 

We are making 40 million XTF_5000s for a total cost of $1200(?) each. This will cost 48 billion.

 

Infrastructure will be created in Sweden over the next 28 years.

 

National Lottery: 8b

 

Money left over: 102 billion

i oppose insta-move. I still plan to use my earth country for my base, so i will be keeping at least 50% of my pop there. Our ships have arrived on the planet Diteju. It will be named Nova Kazakhia. I am currently making a map.

I was already on diteju, but the first page claims its grimdeaths.

You can have it I'm pulling out of the fadou system right now.

OK thanks. Can i have the other aquatic planet too?

Sure in other news I am freezing the civilian training program and am starting a 10 year program that would allow me to create extreme enviorment habitats (think major artic, major volcanic , aquatic and tiny)

 

There.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

Ok, fair enough.

[jasignhagj]

I'm pretty sure the Majority of players don't want things created in spore in this game.

 

Seeing as grim has cleared out of the Fadou system (Have you? I think I read it a few pages back), I send ships there to colonize all planets in the system.

 

Ok, except he said i could have the other Aquatic one. My colonizing ship is sending 500 people there, then heading back to earth with more.

 

 

I guess i just forgot to say they arrived. My ship will reach earth soon, to pick up 5000 more colonists.

yeah but the thing is that ting doesnt kill and the US doesnt just hand out designs to anyone that asks.
