Amnesia shots can be reversed through time/magic, correct?

Shield Penetration shouldn't really be allowed for anyone, I think. Too powerful, basically makes shields pointless.

Mind control only works on NPCs, aye?

Tachyon approved.

You do realize the tachyon things allow him to basically have real-time sensors of everything in the universe, right?

Nisorin · « **Reply #302 on:** September 29, 2010, 08:11:25 PM »

According to him, they still require a good amount of time to scan even a galaxy, so I see no problems.

Orph · « **Reply #303 on:** September 29, 2010, 09:05:12 PM »

Yes, but seeing as he could have it going all the time it would let them be omniscient, just not real-time.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #304 on:** September 29, 2010, 10:15:22 PM »

It is real-time, but it takes time for the tachyons to get to the object and back, but when it gets back, it shows info of what's going on in present time. It takes several minutes to scan an entire galaxy. Now imagine the time it takes to scan the entire dimension. It would take much, much longer.

Orph · « **Reply #305 on:** September 30, 2010, 06:27:54 PM »

Even then it gives you COMPLETE readings of the initial area around you, hell, you could go JD above a planet, sensor, now you know where every single shield generator, or defensive thing is placed, then JD away.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #306 on:** October 01, 2010, 12:24:05 AM »

Nothing wrong with that. Sensitive equipment, with or without this specific tech, would probably be able to know every single generator, and defense, and layout of the bases.

Orph · « **Reply #307 on:** October 01, 2010, 01:26:29 PM »

Except this is 100%, you'd know everything down to the very fucking atom.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #308 on:** October 02, 2010, 06:35:09 PM »

Nothing wrong with that. Besides, the only benefit I would get for scanning things down to the atom is the accuracy and precision of the location of what I'm detecting.

Orph · « **Reply #309 on:** October 03, 2010, 01:40:31 PM »

Not really, it can easily allow for precise blue-print of different technology. Along with the materials needed to produce it. This can be easily, easily used to steal technology. Just show up on a populated world, scan, and now you have blueprints for all that tech.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #310 on:** October 03, 2010, 04:48:50 PM »

Then that means they protected it wrong. If they didn't protect it good enough, they deserve to have their stuff stolen. Yes, I'm even taking into account of the case of Hikaru infiltrating the Aralang Capital.

Orph · « **Reply #311 on:** October 03, 2010, 07:52:05 PM »

Except there IS NO protection from this. It can go through shields, and every single form of matter. It's even possible to be fast enough to get out of black holes.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #312 on:** October 03, 2010, 11:02:53 PM »

Orph's right...And even if there was a way to protect from this, nobodies gonna know it. Its too overpowered. Denied by me.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #313 on:** October 03, 2010, 11:20:56 PM »

It won't be able to get out of black holes, if it goes passed the event horizon. Here's the thing... If it goes passed the planet, not much tachyons would be left. After each single thing it passes through, whatever was in the way filters some of the tachyons, leaving only certain frequencies of the tachyons through. Meaning... if there are like... 2 planets that are aligned, the first planet would be detected easily, but the next wouldn't be as detectable. If there was an infinite amount of planets lined up... I won't detect an infinite amount.

Heard of quantum smudge? It means that I can't find the exact location of a place. Also, I can't have a circle of infinite tachyons. There wouldn't' be enough room, as you can't be smaller than a plank length. If I turn one degree and shot at a wall near me... the bullet would be off by several inches. But if I turn one degree and shot at where the galaxy is, I would miss by lightyears. Solution to the problem? Waves, which covers a greater amount of space at once, but is less accurate. So... the farther out the tachyons go, the less I would detect.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #314 on:** October 04, 2010, 11:14:09 PM »

It doesn't stop you from just going into orbit of a planet and going from there, though, then going away once its complete.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #315 on:** October 04, 2010, 11:26:48 PM »

I would think it's acceptable to be able to scan everything very accurately from orbit. Shields would block one frequency of a tachyon, and that one frequency, out of everything else, was vital for picking up the data for blueprints. It's an extreme case, but it's to be simple.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #316 on:** October 05, 2010, 02:29:13 AM »

You'd still be able to get pretty accurate blueprints of other's technology without hardly doing much. I think mine's the only faction who'd be immune, and thats because of the mirror shields(which aren't shields but actually portals where the input and output are the exact same). I think you guys once disapproved something that could feasibly work in real life, but you all deemed it too powerful anyways? Well...Same here...Sorry...But it really is a bit overpowered...

Nisorin · « **Reply #317 on:** October 05, 2010, 03:42:30 PM »

I hadn't thought of the technology angle. I'm afraid I'll have to revoke my approval.

And everyone needs to remember, just because it's plausible in real life, does NOT mean it is acceptable for the board.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #318 on:** October 05, 2010, 08:07:41 PM »

Hiro, not really, if you have the shields that block a certain type of frequency, and have blueprints printed on material that requires said blocked frequencies to detect.

And the technology angle is not in my favor, Nisorin. Again, if I aim at a wall in my room, and go off by one degree, I would miss by an inch or two at most. If I aim at a distant galaxy, then go off by one degree, I would miss by thousands, if not millions of lightyears. I can't be precise enough for me to be able to hit every single thing in the dimension. That's only possible if I move location. Aralia is moving location by orbiting, yes, but I mean significant movement. Anything that is detected acts as a good filter, be it a horrible filter, or a very effective filter.

Orph · « **Reply #319 on:** October 05, 2010, 08:56:58 PM »

You acting as if it's not something you can spam in every single direction. And never miss due to it being a full 360 degree coverage, which can be achieved.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #320 on:** October 05, 2010, 08:59:28 PM »

360-degree coverage can't be achieved. It's like having spikes... as the spikes go out from the 360-degree coverage, they would cover less and less total space as they move out.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #321 on:** October 05, 2010, 11:07:20 PM »

Gaser...That analogy would work, if it weren't for the immense smallness of the particles being used. And even about missing, if you go into orbit of the planet, its gonna be just a liiiiiittle hard to miss, seeing as your so close. :/

Gaserlake · « **Reply #322 on:** October 05, 2010, 11:08:59 PM »

It does work, Hiro, considering the bloody distance to galaxies from Aralia, and it would still work if I'm trying to scan another planet in the same galaxy. But from orbit of the planet? Yeah... well... at least it requires some effort to go there. I would have to discover the planet and such in the first place, and it would still have the filter effect.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #323 on:** October 05, 2010, 11:12:28 PM »

...JD-ing, Gaser, you have that...It wouldn't be that hard to do, and the Aralangs know about pretty much everyone here already. And even so, you can still perform those scans to get a rough blueprint of the tech. Im sorry, but its overpowered, since you'd be able to get a good idea of other people's technology without even battling them. And, even if its filtered, you'd have a rough idea of how it'd work, which would make it a lot easier to replicate.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #324 on:** October 06, 2010, 10:50:42 PM »

I wouldn't get ANY idea of how the technology would work, hell, I wouldn't even detect blueprints if the tachyons were filtered.
