Space elevators are stupid. If you can use a Space fountain, then it's actually within our current technological capacity, sooooooo that's why I'm researching that. Cheaper and better. :P

You mean...two hundred years?

 

30/1.5 = 20 decades = 200 years

Ah right, we're all wrong, I forgot the decade system. Oh well. Matter Gates should give the same effect if you build one in orbit, if not more.

I'll soon start a massive technological expansion, I just need to get some things done first.

Oh, forgot. These projects were done a while ago, i just didn't post them.

 

Hovercrafts - Our scientists have made a breakthrough on hovercraft research. They have created a prototype vehicle that can hover about 13 inches off the ground. This works by installing an extremely powerful electromagnet on the bottom of the car, which repels the earth's magnetic core. We are testing different methods of propulsion, from fans to rocket fuel. This is highly experimental however,and the project has been extended. (OK, I know the scientific stuff is complete BS, but just go with it)

 

Railguns - Our scientists have successfully created a prototype railgun that can shoot through a 4 in. thick sheet of steel. Far more R&D is still needed, and this project has also been extended in conjunction with solar panel research.

 

New - HUD displays for soldiers. This project is trying to create a HUD contact lens like device for soldiers, which would let them easily identify allies, enemies and objectives on the battlefield.

 

Projects - Archi, can i get research times for these?

Hover -

Rail -

Solar -

Retina -

Don't hovercrafts already exist? I'm pretty sure the Navy has one that can go way higher than that, although I think that it uses fans to propel itself.

^Yes, they work on water, but mine work on land.

 

This is me in Hegemony.

 

Rules? [bleep] the rules!

Hmmm, of course, if people clubbed together...and Space exploration is still pretty expensive, even for Grim...he is spending a whole decade's worth of cash building his ship.

 

Then how is he researching?

No idea, so it will get cancelled at the end of the decade.

 

PS to everyone, hope your exams went well today =)

Well he can't research anymore, it should get cancelled now :S, he just earned 9 (or more) years of research for free :S

No....He gets the years added on now...and then taken off at the end of the decade if he can't afford them.

No idea, so it will get cancelled at the end of the decade.

 

PS to everyone, hope your exams went well today =)

Archi the ship takes 15 years to build :smile:

We...You know how I am...I trust people not to abuse my trust =)

Spear-headed by the British government, several nations have united under the banner of the United Terran Federation.

These nations being?

Britian...And...Ireland :rolleyes:

No, there are more countries in the union, its pretty large actually.

Terran is a demonym, a term commonly associated in science fiction with humans.

 

War be a' brewin'.

We could have called it the New World Order if you preferred that term.

Actually, Terran derives from terra or terrestial, as in in ground, you've heard the saying "terra firm", right?

terra firma

c.1600, "part of the Italian mainland ruled by Venice," from Mod.L. terra firma, lit. "firm land," from L. terra "earth, land" (see terrain) + firma "firm," fem. of firmus (see firm (adj.)). Meaning "the land" (as distinct from "the sea") is first attested 1690s.

 

Terran

"of or pertaining to the planet Earth," 1881, in science fiction writing, from L. terra (see terrain). Also used as a noun meaning "inhabitant of the Earth" (1953). An earlier form, terrene was used in M.E. in sense of "belonging to this world, earthly, secular, temporal" (c.1300), later, "of the Earth as a planet" (1635).

 

Belonging to this world, this time and this level(in terms of spiritial levels).

Seemingly.

 

 

Better song for the alliance:

The current version sounds awfully like

(Which is less damning than where the music is actually from =P)

So, are we not allowed to know about the members of this alliance? Like it's a secret alliance?

Quintuple post

Yep.

How does this even happen?
