I don't mind that you've shared that Arch, since like you say it's been 4 turns now so everything is all shuffled up anyways :P

Also, what do you mean when you say 53% is loyal to Sere? He's only had Russia for around 4 years, and only a few dozen regions in Russia for that whole time. One would think that the parents would have more influence over their kids than the governement :P

 

And Mather & Retech - the game is on pause until Monday, so no progress at all.

[RpgGamer]

Does that mean my last move was disregarded? I repeat my latest post then. To Qyella!

[Retech]

That progress was still valid. It was about the previous day's progress, it just shows how it ended up today.

[archimage_a]

Ok, I am gonna lock the topic, just to prevent confusion.

 

On a happy note I have got most of the way though my first essay. Mainly waffling on about Europe from 1340 to 1694(thus far) to answer the Question 'Do we need a separate theory for International Politics, if so why?' The plan is to somehow use my remaining words(no idea how many I have, its hand written, gonna type it up in a sec) to bring it up to 1919(hopefully using less than 1500 words, but I think I am over that so fingers crossed for less than 2000, double crossed for less than my limit of 2500), then waffle a bit about how a separate policy under either realism or idealism is good, but then point out how it is bad and thus conclude with something like 'The English school rocks because it takes the good points from both sides and combines them into one theory, but the point is that we need a theory, regardless of which theory it is, so long as it accurately explains stuff.' or just skip to the 'we need a theory' bit if I am short on words. Then come back here, type it up, check it though, edit what needs to be edited and then prepare to write the other essay... read the books, come up with a plan, read the list of questions we can choose from... that kind of general thing. =D

 

If it goes anything like this one(minus the two days where things went horribly wrong) then should definitely be done by Monday evening (Yay)

[Hedgehog]

Do I get the last post?

[archimage_a]

Guess not.

 

Will be reopened Sunday night(if I remember=D)

[archimage_a]

 

All figures to be submitted within the next 20 hours(Before Monday, 5PM). I already have some people's and it promises to be an explosive round.

EDIT: I counted those at first but I have changed it into what should have been saturday's budget.

 

X-302s are ready to be constructed.

Particle Magnums have been invented and are now being given to all soldiers as a secondary firearm.

 

Starting construction of the first X-302; Prometheus, this ship will be done in fourteen days.

[Aeon_]

Just to check Mather, are you counting the days it was locked into your budget? If you haven't, ignore this. :)

 

Almost forgot about the neural implants from last week. They are complete. New research is powerful AI, but not as powerful as to become rampant.

 

 

Starting construction of the Flagship Flashlight. It has 3 Angel-class Rail-guns which can lock onto a single target, or target separately. The other weapons have about 3x the capacity. 6 meters of Titanium alloy cover it. And it will take 15 years to make. Preparing for war (wink wink) has it's costs. <_<

[archimage_a]

Notes on the rebel nation:

Five Caravels are on their way to Earth will arrive on the 18th.

40 more Caravels(in lieu of any serious research) have been commissioned and will be completed on the 19th.

 

Caravel's sport over 1500 phasers, with a total firing capacity that will vaporize a square meter of steel in less than a second.

 

Research into the new metal has yielded hypernum, which is a total internal refractor, meaning that 55% of all energy weapons fired against it are reflected harmlessly into space, additionally it is ablative, and so it can replace its armour at a rate of 2 inches per second, for about 180 inches. The material is composed of Silicon, Tungsten and Strange Matter and is being used in the next 40 Caravels.

Research into another new metal has been started and will be concluded on the 30th.

 

All Caravels, including the last five have been equipped with strange limpets and Quark based Gated Torpedoes. As well as Quark Power Generators, which have a lifetime of 12 years, then they need to be refueled which can be done by anything that has mass.

 

Suffice to say that Caravels are designed to defensible fortresses against all attack.

 

The ships will help any unarmed ships in the Sol System.

[The_Mather1]

Archi, about 75% of all plausible energy weapons use either plasma or ions, those are inpossible to reflect/deflect without the use of a shielding technology like mine.

[archimage_a]

Actually 99% of all plausible energy weapons use photons.... Lasers for example. The next most likely would use electrons.

Plasma weapons are not energy weapons, since the are not continuous stream and have mass.

Ion weapons are similarly not energy weapons, since they too have mass... Though they do tend to fire in continuous beams.

 

If you seek to contend the point I am happy to say that 55% of all massless weapons are reflected harmlessly, where has 100% of all mass based weapons are devoured by the Strange Matter, leaving 0% actual damage. Which would be scientifically accurate.

The downside would be that I, nor my pray, could speed up to warp speed for the next year.

The upside would be that each mass based weapon fired at me would create a mine which I would be immune to while everyone else(not using strange matter or other quark matter as a hull) would be instantly destroyed, creating an even larger mine for other foolish individuals to be enveloped in...or for me to hide in.

[The_Mather1]

1. most energy weapons use plasma as the hit itself caused by an energy beam(like PEPs) or as a way of deliveringe the energy(electron weapons).

2. This "strange matter" of yours is way overpowered.

[Nero]

 

All figures to be submitted within the next 20 hours(Before Monday, 5PM). I already have some people's and it promises to be an explosive round.

:grin:

[archimage_a]

Well yes, it is, which is why I am not using it in its direct form, I am using it in the indirect form of an alloy which protects me against beam weapons.

Also strange matter is a real and proven material, so its a bit like you saying 'Well your nuclear weapons are a bit overpowered, maybe you should tone them down a bit'

 

Furthermore PEPs have been stated as unreasonably power consuming, and the only evidence that you have to say that you can power them is ZPMs(If I understand correctly). Thus your weapon is grossly inefficient, and grossly overpowered.

 

Additional: Plasma based weapons are still mass based weapons, since it is the air/such which give it its destructive capabilities, which is forced to move by Blooming. So please just accept that my armour does what I said it does.

[The_Mather1]

Furthermore PEPs have been stated as unreasonably power consuming, and the only evidence that you have to say that you can power them is ZPMs(If I understand correctly). Thus your weapon is grossly inefficient, and grossly overpowered.

Since when did pulsed IR lasers require an unreasonable ammount of power? And PEPs are basicly "explosives" "transported" by a laser, that is not overpovered.

 

And strange matter does not have the properties you stated.

[archimage_a]

So a transporter, that thing which we all agreed was unrealistic.

 

Also:

If the strange matter hypothesis is correct and a strangelet comes in contact with a lump of ordinary matter such as Earth, it could convert the ordinary matter to strange matter.[12][13] This "ice-nine" disaster scenario is as follows: one strangelet hits a nucleus, catalyzing its immediate conversion to strange matter. This liberates energy, producing a larger, more stable strangelet, which in turn hits another nucleus, catalyzing its conversion to strange matter. In the end, all the nuclei of all the atoms of Earth are converted, and Earth is reduced to a hot, large lump of strange matter.

This is not a concern for strangelets in cosmic rays because they are produced far from Earth and have had time to decay to their ground state, which is predicted by most models to be positively charged, so they are electrostatically repelled by nuclei, and would rarely merge with them.[14][15] But high-energy collisions could produce negatively charged strangelet states which live long enough to interact with the nuclei of ordinary matter.[16]

The danger of catalyzed conversion by strangelets produced in heavy-ion colliders has received some media attention,[17][18] and concerns of this type were raised[12][19] at the commencement of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) experiment at Brookhaven, which could potentially have created strangelets. A detailed analysis[13] concluded that the RHIC collisions were comparable to ones which naturally occur as cosmic rays traverse the solar system, so we would already have seen such a disaster if it were possible. RHIC has been operating since 2000 without incident. Similar concerns have been raised about the operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN[20] but such fears are dismissed as far-fetched by many scientists.[20][21][22]

In the case of a neutron star, the conversion scenario seems much more plausible. A neutron star is in a sense a giant nucleus (20 km across), held together by gravity, but it is electrically neutral and so does not electrostatically repel strangelets. If a strangelet hit a neutron star, it could convert a small region of it, and that region would grow to consume the entire star, creating a quark star.[23]

It should be remembered all the issues discussed above relating to the conversion of ordinary matter to strange matter only arise if the strange matter hypothesis is true, and its surface tension is larger than the aforementioned critical value.

...same subtitle.

 

And to my PEP; I just "dumbed it down" a bit to mouch just look here for information.

[archimage_a]

Sigh. Ok, so your laser is a pressure wave laser...IE a Laser which causes Blooming.... Thus a Laser which REQUIRES Air to cause damage...THUS A MASS BASED WEAPON

 

Strange Matter exists, it is as guaranteed as the electron is under the Standard Theory. Furthermore the Strange Matter Theory remains unproven, not impossible. In many respects the Theory of Gravity remains unproven, since they still haven't found the Higgs Boson....We are not going to disregard it just because we don't have the evidence at the moment.

Additional to this research was conducted(by my people) into creating it, thus even if the theory proved wrong because the pressures/whatever were too low or some such whatever, it does not mean that it could not be discovered how to do it.

 

In any case it is there and unlike your weapon it is not based on a flawed presumption that air exists in space.

[The_Mather1]

My weapon is not based on blooming, blooming is the ionization of air caused by lasers, my weapon uses part of the mass that was hit to create exploding plasma.

 

If we were to vote on whether your material was overpowered or not you are boud to lose, especially since your hull is inpenetrable and even untuchable by the use of a balistic weapon.

[Retech]

I would support him, since he is protecting unarmed ships in the Sol system. :P

[archimage_a]

Sigh, I think that was a hull made of pure Strange Matter, which is not what I claimed at all. I claimed the fairly reasonable 55% energy reflection and ablative hull plating.

Making a ship out of pure strange matter is possible...but a crew couldn't live on it and you couldn't use electronics, at least not as we know them... But I am researching that.

 

Anyway your laser does not make sense then, you cannot have something which vaporizes a little bit of something and then uses that to blow someone backwards. The whole pressure wave idea is that a bloom would be created which would act as a pressure wave, blasting someone backwards....

[Retech]

I think you're arguing over the specifics too much. Basically what we have here is a 55% effective shield and a laser. All there is to it.
