Wait, would it spread out from the neutron star, or from the cannon? The cannon made me think it's directional. My ships have something that is resistant to what you said. Sure, it would take damage, but it would be repaired quickly. In fact, causing a quake wouldn't take 15 posts. It would take one or two posts. That just made me think this is godmodding. I don't see how it would take 15 posts to cause a quake. How does it cause a tectonic plate to shift? I don't see how it would take 15 posts anyhow. I would think it's 1 or 2 posts, 3 max, and that's what makes it godmodding. Killing a planet within 3 posts, as well as destroying an entire fleet? Uh no.

[Orph]

Neutron Star, but directed into the cannon and outwards in a directed attack, they'd be resistant to the EMP effect, but not from the radiation. The Quake device uses magnetic fields to manipulate the Star's Teutonic plates, but it takes fifteen posts to work, as the Star is dense and is difficult to move.

[Gaserlake]

The EMP IS the form of radiation.

Also, wouldn't the star have its own magnetic field? So, wouldn't it be EMing your ship? Also, it wouldn't take much to change the magnetic field, especially since you have a titan to deal with it. You just have a big magnet, and voila.

[Orph]

An EMP is a pulse of radiation that shorts out electronics, but if there is enough radiation it can also cause physical damage, gamma radiation is the most energetic known radiation, and the massive amount of it makes it capable of incinerating a planet.

The Neutron's Star EM field is absorbs by the Brevis engine.

[Gaserlake]

Well, you have the most effective EMP. And any EMP would cause damage. The material I have is resistant to it. It's resistant to EMR. So, you would have a hard time damaging my ships, as my material is very light, so I can add a lot of mass to it, and that makes my ships the most EMR-resistant ships in the game. Besides, that won't hurt the ships much physically. Only organic life and some metals, but that's it. The Earth would be fried, but it wouldn't be destroyed. Ships are made of tougher materials.

[Orph]

EMP aren't the only thing radiation does, it kills organic life, it would irradiate your ship making in uninhabitable, and it would melt the damned thing.

[Gaserlake]

It wouldn't. If it wouldn't melt the Earth, it would definitely not melt the ship. But still, since when would a directional attack be able to destroy an entire enemy fleet? Yes, EMPs fry organic life, as well as cause cancer. That's why nukes cause EMPs, as well, from gamma rays from the nuclear reaction. You've made your point. Also, my material would block them from coming through.

[Orph]

It wouldn't melt the Earth, it would basically turn it back into a lava world, destroy all atmosphere, kill all organic life. And no RADIATION DOES THAT, god damn, stop confusing EMPs and radiation, yes but this is so much stronger then a nuke, a gamma-ray burst is more commonly found in supernovae, and it's more like a cone-like wave. And no, it wouldn't block the gamma radiation, it would block the EMP effect, but not the radiation itself.

[Gaserlake]

EMP IS RADATION! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_pulse It would block the gamma ray, as that is what makes up said EMP and radiation, if the two were ever different.

[Orph]

Yes, but even then it would block it from getting inside, but then it would melt due to the immense heat caused by the radiation, then the EMP would get inside, as well as the crew and the ship itself melting.. And just like the BALAR, nothing can be blocked 100%, and a gamma-ray burst is one of the largest blasts of radiation and EMP in the known universe.

[Gaserlake]

SQ cannon approved, as long as it takes two hits to destroy a titan.

For the graviton tech, you would need infinite energy to maintain a black hole, as the black hole is infinitely dense. It's a singularity. The graviton HAS to obey the laws of science, as it is a piece of tech. Black holes don't, which makes them a singularity.

Hummingbird class  - This is the new standard fighter/corvette for the Archive, what makes it so special? 360 degree maneuverability. Unlike the other fighters/corvettes it doesn't use a propulsion system that resembles an airplane, it doesn't use curving turns. While a different fighter's turn would resemble a slope, a hummingbird's resembles a right angle. This make it literally the most maneuverable fighter/corvette class known. And to make it even more terrifying it also has 360 degree fire coverage, even more scary is that the vessel is equipped with a battle class VI that takes control of the vessel's auto-turrets, while the pilot controls the more powerful main cannons and navigation system. Due to the massive Gs that the pilot will rack up with it's perfect turns it's also equipped with a internal gravitron shield, making it capable of turning whenever, and however hard as it wants. (Nisorin approved, need one more.)


Shield and Sword planetary defense system -  The SL defense system relies on orbital stations that can emit a shield like energy structure that repels orbital drops and attacks from vessels in space, by strategically placing of the stations the Archive can cover an entire planet in the shield. The stations are inside the shield as well, and the shield's strength is around that of a Titan. But that is not all the SL system offers, the stations are also equipped with powerful weaponry. From anti-matter misses to rail-guns, they are armed tooth and nail. Each station has it's own anti-matter Nemesis type generator, but there is also a hub for the system. Which is equipped with a Star Drive type generator. If this hub was destroyed the system would become incredible weaker, from a Titan class to a Capital class shield. The hub is significantly larger then the rest of the stations. But it's also the heaviest armored, and armed. (K2 approved, need one more.)


Noverian-Archive Experimental Divorare class - The Divorare class is literally a black hole ship, after the Archive discovered the effects of linking Noverians to a Black Hole they got more volunteers and started to create the Divorare class, the Noverians were immune to the Black Hole's effects, this included the gravity well and the TD field. And like with Miggaitt they were capable of controlling it, by creating habitable space inside the black hole and lining it with Gray Matter the two empires working in tandem have created the Divorare class, it's powered by an internal propulsion system that uses the black hole's ambient radiation. It has no weapons but it doesn't need any, it uses his very nature as a weapon. But the Noverians can also launch small pieces of the black hole as a basic ballistic weapon, even a SUV sized chunk can do a large amount of damage, due to the mass and speed. It's staffed by linked Noverians and Archive scientists, it's around the size of a Texas. (K2 approved, one more needed.)


Interceptor device - This device can intercept most known types of intergalactic travel, ranging from Hyperspace, Jump Driving, and Drift Space. But it has a limited range, if a ship tries to pass through the affected area with a type of travel that can be intercepted it will exit the travel, or stop immediately. (K2 approved, need one more.)


Web-to-Hub multi-galactic sensor - The WBMGS is just a way the Archive has created to cheat the speed of light and how it is used as a sensor. By placing small nigh-undetectable emitters near all known planets they have created a way to monitor most, if not all the Empires. The emitters themselves are quite expensive and small, the size of a basketball they are have a mini-wormhole attached to a QEB device along with a very powerful but small sensor array. They are usually dropped into an asteroid field for better camouflage, as well as their ability to change their radiant output to match that of their location. Meaning you either need an ungodly powerful sensor, or you need visual verification to know it's there. There has been an emitter placed on Aralia, Earth, Ground Island, Lesh, Terraguove, Japae and it's university,  Novier, and Nil. The Hub part of the Web-to-Hub is the Library, which can easily relay the data to it's fleet. (Need two.)

Graviton for black holes approved, after discussion over IM.

Hummingbird class: how does a graviton shield protect the pilot from massive Gs? Gravity, or no gravity, there would still be G-forces.

Shield and Sword planetary defense system: Would there be strong and weak points, or does the shield have the same amount of strength all around?

Noverian-Archive Experimental Divorare class: How do they make habitable space inside the black hole? How do they use black holes as a ballistic weapon? Also, you would need Zai's permission, as this includes the Noverians.

Interceptor device: What if there is a new type of long-distance travel? Would it still block it, or not? Hyperspace, JD, and Drift Space work differently, so how does one stop the three?

Web-to-Hub multi-galactic sensor: How does QEB let you know what's going on? They only react when a force acts upon it, which is probably the only thing that lets you know that there's some activity. Is that the intent? Also, you would need to post that you did place these things in Aralia, etc.

[Orph]

Inertial damping - This technology was specifically created for the hummingbird class, by emitting a type of field that dampen the force of inertia. It dampens the G-forces by a factor of ten. Meaning one G is equivalent to .10 G.

Hummingbird - Oh yeah, guess that makes sense, need to fix that then. And that is fixed with the inertial damping!

SAS - Due to the way the stations are placed, no. They are evenly placed around, although the hubs would have stronger shielding.

Divorare - They use Gray Matter to block out the forces of Gravity, bring air in, a few radiation shields, tada. And I already got Zai's approval.

Interceptor - Depends on how it works. But they all require a straight shot towards their target, Hyperspace through the Hyperspace window, JD through teleportation (Which is not point to point, just near-instant traveling.) And Drift Space is very similar to Hyperspace, just a different dimension.

Web-to-Hub - Yes, the QEB device transmits data though how it reacts, if it goes up, that's a certain line of code. It equipped to translate data into movement of the bit back to data. And the sensors make the bit move into the way it needs to to transmit data. Etc. And derp.

[Gaserlake]

Inertial damping and Hummingbird approved.

SAS: So, the hubs would have their separate shielding, which is stronger than the planetary shields, or is it one big shield with the strongest points right were the hubs are?

Divorare: Grey matter still needs to be approved twice. What would keep the black holes from damaging the ship, once it's used as a ballistic weapon? How powerful of a black hole could the ship contain?

Grey matter: if it isn't gravity or anti-gravity, then, it's matter without a gravitational force?

Interceptor: JD IS from point A to point B, without going through the middle. So, you made a field that blocks that? Does it prevent a hyperspace window from opening, trapping the victims in hyperspace until you power down the field or does it force them to hyperspace just outside the field? Is it the same for all three?

Web-to-Hub: So, it would only register forces that would cause is to move, correct?

[Orph]

SAS - One big shield.

Divorare - It has, by Nisorin and K2.. The Black Hole IS the ship.

Grey Matter - Without gravitation force, and it's also blocks gravity.

Interceptor - No, Jump Driving is basically ship teleporation, which isn't truly point to point, but super-fast. It would remove them from hyperspace the moment they enter the field. Meaning they are INSIDE the field. Same for all.

Web-to-Hub - No, the sensors are connected to the QEB, the sensors translate the data it is receiving into movement of the bit which the other end translates back into data.

[Gaserlake]

SAS: Approved.

Grey matter has not been approved. Nisorin questioned it, and nobody else responded to it. Look near the bottom of page 15.

Divorare: As long as it is habitable and it isn't habitable in the event horizon and beyond it. But hang on. You would be tearing your 'ship' apart, as you are using a part of your 'ship' as a weapon, correct? ANd, you would be rarely using Grey Matter.

Interceptor: JD IS point-to-point. Hawk made up the term, as another way to travel. I was the one that explained how it worked. This was in CE, btw.

Web-to-Hub: Oh. So, it's a radar, that's converted into bit, which would then be transferred to the receiver, and then the bit is translated into a visual image?

[Orph]

Gray Matter - Check top of page 17, which was followed by K2's approval.

Divorare - The Noverians themselves are immune to the black holes gravity well, radiation, and TD field. The Archive has equipped said black hole with tunnels lined with gray matter were radiation shielding, and a stasis device is in operation. Powered by the black hole itself. Yes, but it's quite possible due to the Noverians ability to reabsorb that piece of the black hole. And this is a severe drain on the Archive's gray matter stores.

Interceptor - How does it work? From what I've understood it was basically the ship variant of teleporation, which is not point-to-point.

Web-to-Hub - Many different types of sensors that are converted to bit sent to the bit's partner bit, which is then translated back to data. Which can be visual, or just basic data that a computer can understand.

[Gaserlake]

K2 approved the Grey Matter. I approve it, too.

Dovorare: So, if you use black holes as a weapon, you would be using your own power?

Interceptor: As far as I know, teleportation IS instantaneous, or can be. Well, JD is a type of teleportation that is instantaneous. In other words, JD is point-to-point.

Web-to Hub: Approved.

[Orph]

Divorare - What? It doesn't use entire black holes as weapon, but small chunks of the ship itself.

Interceptor - Teleporation isn't point-to-point. It's super-fast, but not instantaneous.

[Gaserlake]

Divorare: Approved.

Interceptor: Teleportation is instantaneous. Aralang teleportation is, as well as magical teleportation, at least. JD is instant.

[Orph]

Well then how the hell does the JD work? Most teleportation is reducing an item or person to just small bits of matter then almost instantaneous travel to their destination.. And nothing is actually instantaneous.

[Gaserlake]

Actually, no. You're confused with beaming. Beaming works by converting matter into energy and sent them at the speed of light in a form of a beam, thus beaming. So, if it's not instantaneous, then the JD would bring the ship from point A to point B in a plank time, which would be 10^-44 seconds. JD works by being able to be at two places at once, almost literally. The only thing that keeps it from being true is that it would be in another place in plank time.

[Orph]

Anti-proton stream - An anti-proton is the antimatter version of a standard proton, the Archive has started using anti-matter has a powerful weapon. By firing a large stream of anti-protons it creates one of the most devastating weapons known to man. Each ounce of the antimatter can produce an explosion comparable to a nuclear device, the stream is comprised of over ten tons of antimatter. The explosive force of this weapon is capable of destroyed a world in a single shot.

[Nisorin]

Destroy a planet in one shot? Nope. Definitely not gonna happen, sorry.

Denied.
