Hell in V2 we could just ram ships into planets (I threatened to hit retech's homeworld at barely sub lightspeeds with a super freighter). I don't think you can do that with a hyperdrive though. Another option would probably be protracted orbital bombardment using asteroid fields.

What about using a gravity creator so that planet would have all moons and other planers smash into it, it's buildings crushed and people squashed!

I'm not sure exactly how you would create gravity aside from importing mass (again protracted orbital bombardment). Another option would be bombarding it with black hole bombs (something sere developed in V2)

Gravity generators, black hole bombs - ones just a little bigger.

 

But to be honest, black hole bombs would be impossible a gravity generator might work somehow by twisting faster than spped of somet.....

There is the old fashioned way of concentrating energy a point until it breaks space-time...

 

Or other methods involving the Higgs, Imaginary, Boson.

Find a way to negate the mass of Neutronium temproraly, before launching it and then un-negating the mass?

 

Would be fun to watch, to say the least, even if it does defy physics to the point of becoming soft sci-fi type technobabble.

How about using a nice good chunk of a heavy mineral then add a nuclear compression detonator?

If you spin something fast enough it will create gravity, another way is to litterally teleport the planet to the sun.

Gyroscope + electric motor

Gyroscope + electric motor

Thats it, and just imagine one about the size of albania!

... In space.

If mounted onto the frame of the gyroscope it should last until the gravity was strong enough to rip steel apart, but then it would allready have imploded as it was bombarded with hydrogen and helium and turned into a star for a few seconds before the energy provided caused it to melt allowing it to compact itself thoroghly.

As the gravity increased, the electric motor would eventually be crushed, and the spinning would stop, correct?

The simple answer is just that I would use an extremly strong electric motor.

I could always make an object that lowers gravity in a much smaller area.

You mount the battery in the motor.

And the power wouldn't need to be that great in space, at least not if you have little friction on the axle. Mount two motors, one on each side, and feed them sufficient power at a frequency of giga or terrahertz.

The gyroscope should only be dented by small objects.

Any object that hit it would simply push it away until such a point as where its gravity basically locked it in place (like a black hole).

It is reasonably safe to say that any device that would deform the universe would deform itself in the process.

 

And since a Gyroscope is a piece of precision engineering, even the smallest deformation would shut it down.

 

 

 

If you were gonna spin something at crazy fast speeds...and you have a hyperdrive...

Then you could bolt two hyperdrives together, facing opposite directions, and engage them at the same speed.

 

Of course sheering would still be a major concern (the force exerted on the bolt would be immense)

 

 

In game....Gravitons anyone?

Hyperdrives only moves the ship into a smaller dimention in order to make its sub-light engines more efficient even though they don't work better.

Actually its anti-technobabble.

 

 

Gravitons generate gravity...Therefore a graviton bomb would be a gravity bomb.

 

 

Mather, the point of your machine is to go crazy fast...Hyperdrives go crazy fast, therefore two facing opposite directions creates rotational crazy fast speeds.

QED.

Gravitons anyone?

Nah, I don't imagine they are real.

My planet.

 

My Race: The Illuminate (Supreme commander 2 if anyone heard of it before, though I just like the name)

 

Basic description: A race of hyper intelligent beings which lack in strength, they have a love for science and a love for mechanics, they worship space, and spaceships are their favourite things.

 

Biological desciption: Slim and rather tall, with the average being around 7ft, females and males are quite similar, generally compared to the human race in the respect.

 

Traits:

 

Advantages

 

Hyper intelligent: Research speed is increased?

Mechanical love: Any machinery is either more efficient, faster to build, cheaper (Pick one please)

Space Fanatics: Spaceships and Space technology is either more efficient, faster to build/discover, cheaper to do.

 

 

Disadvantages

 

Weak: Combat effectiveness is lowered

Space Fanatics: Destroying too many spaceships may cause civic revolt

Egotistical: Races that have a low intelligence I cannot ally

 

 

I really can't think of anymore.

We should be allies!

Your race loves technology and machines, my race is technology and machines. Your race would fit the concept of the ancients before they got so genetically advanced that they gained superpowers.

ICU, what about "massive robotic superweapons?"

 

Heh, Supreme Commander was an awesome game. Square Enix f'd up the sequel though.

Seems fine to me Ico.
