No. I think Jeremiah and Drake should build one from scratch.

[Earth]

You do realize this fits th description for what you wanted rather perfectly, correct?

[Earth]

Double post, but i realized that the start of this argument made no sense. How does Drakes half shuttle things being really bad miners make him a better choice for shipbuilder?

AI, correct me if I'm wrong, but when Chi's suit goes at maximum speed does it not consume energy at an extreme rate?

No.

The important thing to remember is that if you reduce the weight of something it is easier to move.

Metagaming: Maybe Drake should be asked first.

[Earth]

I know, i know. but it jsut doesn't seem to make sense the way that Nex put it down. I won't constest it if he want's to be shipbuilder, but i would like to know the reasons.

[The_Mather1]

I just got an awesome idea, instead of a jetpack I could create a sort of autonomous air-/spacecraft that resembles a UAV, except it has a small compartement accessable from the inside which can house a single MarkII suit, it can be used either to transport a suit or to carry a manned suit, with the wearer controling the craft through the suit's systems with all the craft's stats replacing the suit's on the HUD and the craft's view in the background. Each craft would be assigned to it's suit and (when possible) share the AI with it to allow for quick retrieval after a mission is completed, certain crafts could also be weaponized alowing the person in the suit to assign targets and deploy aerial support within seconds. One possibillity for fast deployment would also be to asign a height/velocity/gravity factor to allow for a person to be dropped directly into combat, from the air without harm, with good enough armour that could even be configured to allow a person to be dropped through a roof or wall or as a dummy-bomb onto opponents. Other such crafts could be fitted with extra large fuel tanks, alowing a suit to restock on fuel while being transported from one target to another.

Also similiar crafts could be made for mining, carrying replacement drills and hyperspatial storage containers for minerals, and maybe even penetrating shock bombs and mining lasers to speed up mining.

The possibilities are endless... anyone care to help me with this project?

[Earth]

Uh, could jsut research it. But get Stork to help, he's good with mechanics.

[Nexaduro]

I said Drake made BETTER miners Earth.

[Earth]

EDIT:Something mean was posted here. cleaed it off to keep this Clean.

[The_Mather1]

Yeah, but the more that help the faster it goes, as engineers you should be proficient in scripting and designing just as well as me, if not even better.

 

And if you can think of any ideas list them here, we should make a list before the next session.

Now it just needs a name, it must be short, either an acronym or something that's pure awesome some other way. I'll let you choose because one because if I did it then it'd just be another Stargate/Iron Man reference.

 

Also imagine the usefullness in ship-to-ship combat; enemy engages, we transprt into the crafts and engage, we blast a hole in their hull using missiles, taking out one room/hallway of enemies, then we drop in, through the hole. The AI then takes over the crafts and takes out fighters and subsystems while we fight our way through the enemies, if we meet a force too strong we make the crafts breach the hull nearby and vent the enemies into space. That way we could hijack enemy vessels with minimal damage and losses.

[Earth]

It sounds awesome Mather.

Nex: What i mean is, how does Drake having better miners that we don't need make him Shipbuilders? And, you said you wanted something small, fit for engines, shields, and stealth bays. Mine is perfect for that.

[Corvus]

"Shipbuilding? Why would I want to do that? Vessels such as that are but a mere logistical nuisance, a means to an end, and nothing more. Now Computers and AI are something worthy of my devotion, as they are truly the path beyond our position within the world." - Drake Zarr

[Nexaduro]

Oh, fine. But I would request a full review of any proposed craft before they go into service.

[The_Mather1]

Faust, I will release a full review of every variation of the craft that goes into production, however you will not recieve reviews of each specific craft as some people might want to keep their personal touches a little more... personal... if they are produced in numbers.

 

I request that we eventually begin building either a new ship or a station for medical, engineering and scientific pourposes and that we equip said ship/station with production capabillities.

[Nexaduro]

Chi, I hesitate to trust you with such matters.

 

Also, the shipyard is finished today, if we get a tractor beam or something we can try experimenting with docking asteroids together. We'll use small ones first, then work on actually docking another suitable asteroid to our shipyard. This assumes, of course, that we can't just build more crud on the shipyard asteroid. We could also make use of some defences for the station, perhaps repulsors in case of oncoming asteroids and ion cannons for use against actual ships.

[Retech]

Justr travelling advisor here, but Archi said that the Kirby either had too large weaponary for a threat or too small weaponary. So I suggest that you try and put a variety of weaponary, to deal with a variety of threats. :thumbup:

[The_Mather1]

Nex, you have mutinied and killed other people on several occations, the worst thing I've done is to plan in case I would have to get rid of a corrupted captain and kill myself, you can trust that I would do my best to keep the ship and any innocent crewmembers safe.

 

The shipyard would be perfect, it could also house storage areas for the crafts inside the asteroid themselves, without lifesupport to prevent tampering and unauthorized interfacing.

[Nexaduro]

Chi, you've killed multiple people and constantly show the worst decision-making skills in the entire crew.

[The_Mather1]

I have not directly killed anyone but myself, even though I once tried (in the simulator freak-out thing), the closest thing I've come is when Earth transported into the cargo bay I blew open.

 

And I don't make bad decisions, my short-term ideas are just a bit too random or... exentric... to work the way I plan them to. When I broke the bay it was because of lack of information about the minerals in the asteroid, when I laid down on the asteroid I was just bored, when I went out into the gas giant I had been too busy to notice the decision that had been made to enter it, when I blew myself out the airlock it was because of poor safety precautions on the ship's side. Those were the only four times I've killed myself, other than that I've only injured myself, the worst injury was when I touched the back of my eye in the simulator freak-out.

 

Then there's you, implanting faulty data into the AI, creating a SUE bomb, overloading and destroying the simulator with SUE bombs, implanting SUE into a holo-bot... and I'm sure you've done worse things too, the only difference between us is the fact that for some reason people don't care too much when you break stuff and that you don't make things that can even be considdered useful.

[Earth]

Okay. May i be the ShipBuilder, please? I think i need a break from constant repairs to make new ships to hopefully spread the damage, or minimize it.

[The_Mather1]

You can do what you want, as far as I know no one told you to be our janitor.

[Earth]

Well, someone has to do it, and i end up being killed due to my own recklessness. Lol, first i got blasted by theros to death, then Ross incinerated me.

[The_Mather1]

I have intended to repair several damages where you've just ninja'd the chance.

[Earth]

Then stop spending researches into things that will only be usefull in one area (Although the multidimensional storage engines may come in handy) and do stuff.

Just a small update to go with the puzzles:

 

Russia has declared all out war on Britian and the Terran Federation. France has revolted and is fighting the Terran Federation as well as Russia.

 

The Australian Confederation and South America are staying out of the combat presently.

 

Extensive use of Nuclear and Biogenic Weapons, by all four sides, is decimating the already decaying Earth.
