which can deflect lasers to a point,

Impossible. I can't find the article but basically the tiniest imperfection in the shell renders the reflective or deflective capacity nil.

Effectively fighting a laser by reflection is the same as flighting a brick with a sheet of plate glass, hence why I didn't attempt to make reflective armour.

Also....Just the one gun?

Hmm. I could have sworn I read about that working, as long as the initial heat from the laser didn't melt through it. But whatever, I won't argue that.

The ship is only designed for a support role, either for destroying super, or ultra battleships (1 hit from the main gun and your dead, or atleast useless). It does have some small lasers for shooting down missiles, though not nearly as many as your caravels. This isn't gonna be my main battleship or anything, it's the artillery where my battleships are the tanks.

[The Dark Lord]

Instead of reflecting the laser, isn't it possible to somehow absorb the energy and disperse it across a wide surface in order to counteract the damage (sort of like how bullet-proof armor works)?

[Wisp]

Just did the math. For the exterior armor, and oxygen inside the ship alone it weights 103,560 Tons. Including internal walls, supplies, ammunition and so on, I'll say it weighs 163,560 tons. It's largest projectile is 100 tons, a 166 cubic foot solid tungsten shot.

What would be the purpose of firing a single, enormous rail gun projectile at the Urk-Orz? Due to their mass numbers, wouldn't it be a lot better to have some sort of flak-like projectile that can attack several ships at once? Also, keep in mind that their ships are filled with liquid ethanol, a highly flammable substance. A spark on the interior should be enough to compromise the ship.

Eh, this isn't necessarily for use against them. But, it is useful if I put a high powered bomb, fire it into a center of a swarm of them, and have it detonate with no chance of it being stopped. And I'll look into what you said.

Here's a to scale model of the projectile. It's not actually that big, but it's very dense with a high melting point.

 

http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/4369/projectile.jpg

 

For reference, here's a pro-cons of the ship:

 

Pro:

Massive firepower, can destroy almost anything other than a dreadnought or Sa Matra in a single shot.

Strong Armor

Massive Range

Cons:

Only close range defensive abilities are 500 fighters and anti missile/projectile lasers.

Long Reload time

Limited number of shots.

 

Each ship is worth 5,000 PP (5 super battleships worth)

[The Dark Lord]

Dusty's bomb is a planet-buster, correct? The tungsten shell should protect Dusty's bomb long enough for it to be calibrated and detonated in the middle of the swarm. Assuming that the ships travel close to each other, the bomb should be powerful enough to at least wipe out a good number of the ships (if not most).

[Wisp]

Something like that would be possible, I think.

Terran transports have arrived in centauri, the remainder of the population is loaded up an head to Tefarn.

[The Dark Lord]

I would create an update for today, but it's nearly midnight and I have school tomorrow. I guess I'll just post an update for what should have been today's update along with the update for tomorrow at a later time. I was going to create an awesome update post today, but my creativity kinda went dead after I discovered that I couldn't think of a name for a certain region of Kajea. I might go ahead and just put some updates for the Gaian expedition tomorrow.

 

Maybe I'll just think of a ton of stuff to research and just do that.

[archimage_a]

Fair enough =D

 

In other news all Caravels are being fitted with Eletron Lattice Forceshields. These devices are aranged on the hull with nodes every 1.6 meteres, with a maxium range for each lattice at 5 meteres. The forceshields are not terribly powerful, they are designed to protect against light weapons, such as light goalkeepers and weak Arc Casters. However they can hold off quite sustantial amounts of power for short periods(This is not aimed at Dooms new weapon, I doubt they could withstand that). This refit is being conducted due to the scaling back of the production parameters of the stations(Which are basically now 1,000 for each station, 2,000 for Kent, and 300 for the middle 10 days) Caravels have been scaled back to 5,000 PP(including lattice addon). Building a station(prefab or otherwise) takes 9,600 PP, total.

 

I currently have 5,000 PP per turn and am utlising this to build 38 Stations.

However because of the dire need for Caravels(Either to fight the Urk-Orz in their eventual conquering of my space(so I believe) or to plunder the weak coalition of nations which defeated the Urk-Orz) I am going to complete(fully) two stations(in Eos) in 4 turns.

These stations will generate 2,000 PP per turn, total.

I will spend this 2,000 PP on build another 2 stations to level 2 and one station to level 1 over two years.(Expending 4,000 of the 4,000 I have over two years)

I will then upgrade the level 1 to a level 2(at the cost of 800PP) and begin work on another two level 2 stations. (Expending 3,200 on the new stations, 800 on finishing and 600 on prefabing)

I will then finish prefabing (at a cost of 1,000) a station to level 2, and build 2 more to level 2 and 1 to level 1(Expending 3,200 on new stations, 1,000 on prefabbing, 800 on building a level 1)

I will finish the level 1 and 3 stations to level 2 and begin another level 1 and start upgrading it to level 2(Expending 4,800 on stations and 800 on upgrading and 1,200 on the level 1 with upgrades)

I will then finish the level 1 and start 5 more stations to level 2 and 1 station to level 1 (Expending 8,000 on stations, 400 on upgrades and 800 on the level 1)

I will then finish the level 1 and start 7 to level 2 and 1 to level 1 (11,200 to stations, 800 to finishing, 800 to level 1 station)

I will then finish the level 1 and start 10 level 2 and 1 to level 1. (Spending 16,000 on stations, 800 on finishing and 800 on level 1s)

I will then finish the level 1 and begin upgrading all the stations to level 12. (Spending 800 on the level 1 and then 21,400 on the stations which amount to 304,000 to complete)

I will then spend 13,400 per year on completing these stations, taking 22 years to complete normally, but though careful upgrading I can finish in 17 turns(plus the 16 years to get there, so 33 years total). Yielding a net output of 38,000 PP for Eos. Both of my mineral system planets will follow the standard 12 year program and Adrigas will continue with its 5,000 PP per year. These 5,000 PP will produce 4 Caravels every 4 years, with the next 4 years on hold.

 

To summerise,:

Massive building program is Eos over the next 33 years.

2 New stations in the two mineral systems over the next 12 years,

Caravel construction suspended for the next 4 years

All Caravels to be upgrade with Lattice Forceshields.

 

My current fleet deployment is, 5 Caravels in Fadou, 10 in Yare, 10 in Netio, 10 in Adrigas(as well as 30 Transports), 20 in Eos and 205 prepared for Rapid responce duties(including all 10 of the Capital Class). Also 1 ship is on loan to Sere to explore the Heavy space Portal.

[paul191600]

How long is it going to take to research that ship anyways?

[archimage_a]

I think, as long as the ship doesn't include any new technology, it can be produced 1 year after proposal.

[The_Mather1]

It has been discovered that by setting a weak EM-beam to a certain frequency it is able to; not only dematerialize, but also rematerialize an object within range. It seems the exact frequency of the EM-field is what decides the distance the object must be at and where it reapears.

Is the lump heading towards my planet a big lump?

 

 

 

Also, I won't be on until 9pm or so in the United States. I have a math competition. :thumbsup:

 

 

Please don't make the Urk-Orz attack me in that time, I want to get my defensive plans in.

But I previously said I was going to do further research on effects caused by the EM-beam, I even specified it to the demolecularisation effect caused by it.

 

And Retech; May I ask that my people be allowed to settle on the lands by your great seas of the Capiahs?

[Seraphi]

I'm going to create 3 stations per turn in Eos, and the rest of my points are going towards creating my new ships, and other ships as well.

[The_Mather1]

Not to be nagging but if in order for me to make stargates I would be ready to compromise.

 

As well I have some points to make clear before you start argumenting against it:

-Wormholes are physically possible.

-They can also be made artifically.

-I know of one exotic matter which could be used as a stabilizer.

-They require only 112 887 160 294 992 watts of power(aprox 113 terrawatt).

-That ammount of power is available to me as to be generated by small devices January 5th.

-The owner of the planet each gate is to be housed on can himself chose if and where it shall be situated.

-All matter coming through the gate(including the unstable vortex that comeseach time the gate is activated) can be blocked by a barrier of "any" kind placed within micrometers of the event horizon.

-They are one-way, an incoming wormhole cannot be traveled through with an exeption for radiation(such as radio waves), outgoing wormholes however can be used.

-The DHD(dial-home-device) that comes with the gate can be replaced by some sort of advanced remote controll or dialing computer.

-Gates can also be dialed by manually turning the inner ring.

 

As you see this is in no way unfair, overpowered or physics-breaking.

Fine, 2000(5 and a half real life years) years time you can build them, they will then take 90 million PP each. I believe that was something like how long it took the ancients to research them...Research cannot be sped up by anything, even random events.

Also all wormholes will be on the star trek model, except that the gates anchor them. This means that matter can travel both ways, the wormhole will remain active for some years and violently explode when it has finished, it will also be non-instantaneous and will kick out lethal doses of radiation so cannot be transverse by single humans, but instead requires space ship transports. It cannot be blocked by any known method, but if the 'gate' is turned off at one end then wormhole will destabilize...sort of like a loose hosepipe...spraying its contents over the system and surrounding space. If two wormholes collide they will form a net, which is twice as hard to navigate but leads to 3 or 4 different locations. This can be cumulative, effectively linking all of space, but navigating this would be neigh impossible. Powerful explosions inside the wormhole will cauterize the link, turning the wormhole into a cul-de-sac.

 

It's largest projectile is 100 tons, a 166 cubic foot solid tungsten shot.

The math for that indicates you need thrusters which are 200,000 times as powerful as ones that can move you up to light speed instantly. Basically the recoil is 6^13 Joules...so about the same as the Hiroshima bomb.

 

I'm gonna go ahead and say that no, it hasn't. No randomly discovering things, especially those that are completely stupid, and probably violate heisenburg's uncertainty principle.

Despite the fact that Doom invokes the HUP just about every time anything happens I agree that it isn't gonna happen.
