Hey Rocco, looks like we might be relative neighbors! This is, of course, assuming I chose a suitable habitat for my race.

My race will be in a fluorine atmosphere, fear our shiny White teeth!!

 

Archi, I have pretty much posted everything to you by PM: My race, my techs.

I am on holidAy for four more days, please may you hold the main thread up so I can start.

 

I'm the green jelly things that are clever but useless at everything else.

Can I get the atmoshpere that stops ariel bombing

Edel, you can't have both Fluorine and Carbon Dioxide environments. And what temperature/pressure does your race live in? I could find a suitable planet.

My race can live in anything but total vacuum and extremely low temperatures combined. Well they can if I can find a nearly unmeltable substance to produce nanites from.

Heh, my race seems ideally suited to fight both Replicators and Orkz.

 

Out of curiosity, Mather, can Replicators be melted, crushed, or made inoperable through deformation? And how do they actually fight?

 

Also, would you be interested in an alliance Rocco?

Nah, I'm at least two sectors away depending on my final decision. And while your system is nice, I already have a good planet-harvesting location. My race isn't human, so your Thoth isn't particularly enviable. Though your assitance might be!

 

Also, there are a few anomalies in the system to your Northwest that you might want to keep an eye on.

Out of curiosity, Mather, can Replicators be melted, crushed, or made inoperable through deformation? And how do they actually fight?

They should melt, but other than that all you can do is to sever the bonds between the nanite cells. If you try to crush one you'd just squease it into a liquid-looking swarm which would quickly reform when there's enough space. And they fight like humans... except they can stick their hands into other creatures head to stun them and mess with their brains.

They can melt and they can fall apart, they can also be reprogrammed to atract eachother resulting in a blob so dense it'd sink its way to a planet's core, but unless the entire planet explodes you'd just end with one single replicator giant.

To make it easier to understand:

Nanite = Nanobot smaller than a single cell.

Replicator = Nanites connected together to form a full, human form.

Hm, core of a planet? Hehehehehe.

 

Say something dissassembles the nanites into the materials they're composed of? Or they are enveloped by an incredibly superheated mineral shell?

Then they are shut down and fall apart.

Hehey, that works out fine for me then! :^_^:

 

Replicators are kind of ridiculous, not to say my race isn't, but at least you're being fairly reasonable about it. Archi did say to give your race every possible advantage.

To balance out the fact that all of your races are basically immune to all these things, my race shall have super skin! :thumbup:

has this even started? i lsot track after a while..

Meh, my race is still vulnerable to conventional weaponry at least. Mostly.

Well, Archi said I'd have to skip the invounerable to ballistic and energy trait, though I don't see how you could possibly harm one by shooting normal bullets or charged ions/plasma/lasers at something made from microscopic robots.

Mather, how exactly would they be able to reach through solid matter? That is stupid and overpowered, you can't have something which can just pass through all solid matter...

 

Also, if they were sucked to the planets core, I'm pretty sure they would be crushed and superheated by their own weight untik they stopped functioning, unless they can function at several thousand degrees celsius...

 

But I trust Archi to do the balancing, and not allow it to be completely one sided.

Ross, remember there is no such thing as solid matter with the exception of singularities, that fact is what allows each nanite to pass through matter up to a certain, high density.

Heat does not travell that quickly through compounds, some would melt, but then the others would regain control of their bonds and do what they were initially supposed to do.

Well, Archi said I'd have to skip the invounerable to ballistic and energy trait, though I don't see how you could possibly harm one by shooting normal bullets or charged ions/plasma/lasers at something made from microscopic robots.

Wouldn't a bullet like crush it to death?

A bullet could tear a hole in one, but the nanites would be replaced almost immediatly, however a mortar shell would do irreparable damage.

Okay, let's all stop arguing and let Archi do the balancing, because giving that responsibility to the player is like saying "You are fighting in this match and you are also the judge"

A bullet would rip a leg off, instant regrowth of limbs is just a tad overpowered yes?

You have been playing too many gory FPS's. A landmine dismembers you, but a bullet doesn't, not even a holow-point or AE.

I agree with the above.

 

Also, a conflict between your Replicators and my Kademi would be interesting Mather.

A conflict between us would last for ages before turning first into a rivalry, then a friendship, then a powerful aliance.

no. injure it, yes, tear it off? no.. not even at point blank range.

Interesting. :thumbup:

 

 

 

Now to make some sort of super cluster bomb, which fires this huge projectile out of a mortar, which splits into small projectiles, until it is close to the enemy, when it splits into "0.50 caliber" shrapnel. Mwahahahahahahahaha

You're telling me that a futuristic high power .50 cal round from a sniper rifle would not rip a man's leg off?

Futuristic .50 cal? Definitely plausible, considering we have no idea in what ways it would be "futuristic."

 

EDIT: Watched the one video, now I believe you.

You do know that unlike flesh and skin the nanites aren't actually stuck together with fibres that stick after the cell is dead. "Dead" nanites cease to function and releases hold on "live" ones.
