That's what it does, the blade has a minor seal on it that causes the spirit to be unable to travel to the spiritual realm without being fully healed, which requires major magic, as you said.

Dimensional extinction bomb, nicknamed the "Wall-breaker." - The Wall breaker works by collapsing the dimensional walls that hold up the dimension itself, when said walls collapse the dimension is destroyed along with it. If it's a dimension that is in the dimensional sea it would be converted back into creational energy.

Also.

FTL and Bypass destruction field - This fields works by destabilizing Hyperspace, Jump Driving, Drift Space, Wormhole, and most if not all types of intergalatic travel to such a point were attempting it inside the field, or attempting the enter the field with that type of travel would cause the destruction of the vessel. Hyperspacers would be ripped apart by the hyperspace window, Jump Drivers would just assemble wrong, as if someone put em in a blender and tried to glue them back together, Drift Spacers would be crushed by the gravity currents, and Wormholers would find their wormholes one sided, something similar as to driving into a wall, only much more explosiony.

Scythe approved, the other... the ships would have no warning, so they can't protect themselves. Not approved.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #403 on:** July 20, 2010, 12:10:23 PM »

Wall-breaker: Not approved. You can bring down the SP dimension, and therefore killing the RP.

Destruction Field: No. You can destroy an entire fleet with just one ship. They have no way of reacting to it.

Orph · « **Reply #404 on:** July 20, 2010, 04:46:01 PM »

Wall-breaker - Yeah, because the Archive would just LOVE to blow everything they've worked on for years up for no god damned reason.

Destruction field - It would be used as a way to force those in battle to stay, and stop reinforcements. If there is a friendly ship in the field to start with, I'd think they would tell their friends. "HOLY SHIT DON'T COME IN HERE, SOMETHING BE GOING ON!"

Gaserlake · « **Reply #405 on:** July 20, 2010, 09:12:20 PM »

Wall-breaker: Well, they have been blowing up a lot of stuff...

Destruction field: They wouldn't know what would be going on. They just know what's going on, and that's it. If they knew more, they would naturally think that it's just an inhibitor field, and it would just stop them from proceeding.

Orph · « **Reply #406 on:** July 22, 2010, 05:01:10 PM »

Wall-breaker - And as I've said numerous times, since when have the Archive ever been suicidal? This isn't some sort of last ditch weapon like the fucking Aralangs have with the beast, because they're such terrible losers that they have to kill an entire universe.

Destruction field - They'll learn after the first time, it would have a different signature and such, it would be their own stupidity if they didn't at least warn them.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #407 on:** July 22, 2010, 05:04:16 PM »

Maybe not the Archive, Orph. But let's bring up one one of your arguments on the TPF when I said the empire using it wouldn't use if for offense.
"Oh! It can be stolen by other empires and used for such a reason."

So not approved, simply for the fact, your empire isn't the only one that would able to use it.
Also...because it's too damn powerful. I have to use a lvl6 sage and all of her magic, just to barely rip a hole. Yet you can collapse the whole wall, all of them, with tech and no magic? I don't think so.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #408 on:** July 22, 2010, 05:07:23 PM »

Wall-breaker: Yeah... Garelangs would be suicidal... they would be happy to destroy entire dimensions. Same with the virus.

Destruction field: Yeah. You attack with such a big force, that it demanded the entire fleet to come. They came, and they all got destroyed. The first time can be their last time.

Orph · « **Reply #409 on:** July 23, 2010, 05:57:17 PM »

Destruction field - And that would be their fault for rushing in without understand what the enemy has up.

Wall-breaker - Technology can perform far more things then magic can, as it has a lot better ways of containing and getting energy, where your level six sage had to use her own energy and magic, the Wall-breaker might be powered by multiple supernovae, or a black hole, which despite anything you say dwarfs the amount of power Hikaru has.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #410 on:** July 23, 2010, 07:22:52 PM »

Destruction field: Not necessarily. Sometimes, desperate times call for desperate measures. Sometimes, they wouldn't have time to learn the enemy before engaging. The best they would know is that it prevents warp or JD from happening. They wouldn't know that it would destroy the ships before it happened.

Wall-breaker: You haven't responded to my argument.

Orph · « **Reply #411 on:** July 23, 2010, 09:50:00 PM »

Wall-breaker - The wall-breaker requires a power source comparable to at least twenty stasised supernovae, it's equipped with DNA recognition system that dismantles the bomb if someone not registered tries to activate it.

Destruction field - And it's always a bad idea to rush in head first without knowing what the hell is going on, but fine, an incoming FTL type engine will explode and render the ship unable of FTL travel if it tries to enter the field from the outside, if someone tries it from the inside they are destroyed. BUT, it would not have the same signature as an inhibitor, meaning it would be stupid to confuse it with such.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #412 on:** July 23, 2010, 09:50:56 PM »

It's still too god damn powerful, Orph. There's a line not to cross. You're NOT getting the damn power to destroy a whole damn dimension.

Quote from: Orpheus on July 19, 2010, 09:04:55 PM

Imgaitt - By reversing the effects of Nilgaitt the Archive has created it's counterpart, a material that boosts magical reactions by exactly one-hundred percent, if there is Imgaitt within the effected area of Nilgaitt they would cancel each other's reactions out. Meaning it would neither fizzle, or become stronger. It also allows for the use of magic inside an AM field, although it is severely weakened. Around two levels weaker then normal, meaning a level five sage would only be able to use level three magic.

One approval needed.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #414 on:** July 25, 2010, 05:29:43 PM »

Imgaitt: No, for reasons already stated.

Wall-breaker: Well, that's easy for you... twenty? That's easy. You already have the technology to do it. DNA recognition system? I just knock one of your guys out, and put his/her hand on the DNA scanner.

Destruction field: Well, if it doesn't have the same signature, then that means it's completely new, and another reason why they wouldn't recognize what it does, until it's too late. And... disabling their FTL drives? If I use JD, is only my JD shortened out, or JD, Warp, and Hyperspace drives, too?

Orph · « **Reply #415 on:** July 26, 2010, 09:34:33 PM »

Yes, they are.

Imgaitt: Seeing as you've never really had AM field tech sorted out, it's not really a reason.

Wall-breaker: Eh fuck it, I have other ways to blow up entire dimensions.

Thermal sinks - Installed in every type of GR-armor is a new type of defense system, a thermal sink, a device that absorbs intense thermal energy through the armor itself, but this system hasn't been entirely perfected yet. It redirects the energy into a small sink, which can be ejected and replaced. Most soldiers are equipped with at least five sinks.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #416 on:** July 27, 2010, 03:18:41 PM »

Imgaitt: More the reason to not approve this, then.

Thermal sinks: Five sinks for each soldier? Um, that's a lot of space right there. Wouldn't that impair mobility?

Orph · « **Reply #417 on:** July 28, 2010, 08:31:34 PM »

You don't know how large the sink is, it's actually only the size of a pencil, and the shape too.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #418 on:** July 28, 2010, 08:32:24 PM »

Approved, then.

Orph · « **Reply #419 on:** August 02, 2010, 05:46:21 PM »

Imgaitt - More reasons to approve it, seeing you haven't specified how an AM field does it, why should I specify why Imgaitt does it?

Nisorin · « **Reply #420 on:** August 02, 2010, 06:38:14 PM »

Because it needs to be done. Playing off of vagueities in OOC requests is metagaming. So, eliminate the vague bits OOC. Yes, I have hounded him to actually detail how the AM fields do their thing, but obviously he hasn't yet.

* Nisorin looks over at Gaserlake with an impatient look.

Tagliare and SDD - The way the blade is able to cut the spirit is that it was imbued with spirit energy, the spirit energy had the effect of making the blade something akin to a semi-physical but semi-spiritual creation. This means it's intangible but visible to things that exist on the physical plane, but it can only interact with things on the spiritual plane. This allows for the blade to cut into the spirit, and no, it isn't a spirit cutting a spirit, it's a blade cutting a spirit. Basic energy barriers have been known to repel the blade.

Archive heavy CQC GR-armor, Codenamed "Paladia" - This new version of the GR-armor is the forefront of CQC weaponry, using the newly developed Tagliare and a most if not all of the Archive's various doo-dads. Equipped with the QEB device, a super-computer equipped with it's own tactical adviser VI, powered by a small but incredibly efficient nemesis engine. It also sports two powerful heat sinks located in it's chest area, these heat sinks are comparable to that of seven standard sinks, resting on it's left shoulder is a energy weapon that the user can hurl for a basic long range weapon, these are energetic discs that can be slowly replenished, able to cut through most armor with ease. The Paladia's armor is comparable to corvette class armor, and it's shield can take an incredible amount of damage, comparable to a shot from a capital class vessel. It's equipped with various forms of the Tagliare, and energy based weapons that can cut through most armor.

Archive civil-protection GR-armor, Codenamed "Sentinel" - This rather primitive version of the Archive's GR-armor is used for the protection of Civil forces on Archive controlled worlds. Powered by long lasting energy cells that can power the armor for a total of year before requiring recharge the Sentinel is equipped with a minor super-computer along with it's own personal tactical adviser VI, the armor is comparable to half a fighter's defensive capability. Their armaments are up to the user of the armor, as there isn't any built in weaponry. The suit does however allow for the continuous speed of thirty MPHs for multiple hours.

Archive Anti-Lorcar/Special-forces GR-armor, Codenamed "Locust" - This is the Archive's first attempt at biological armor, using cloned and genetically modified Lorcar cells they created a blend between technology and biology. The Locust is equipped with all of the standard Archive technology, this includes a super-computer and a tactical adviser VI. The biological part is equipped with land-terror and assassin DNA, it's also equipped that the user of the armor may be able to access the Lorcar DNA inside it, this allows for the user to use the Land-Terror and Assassin caste abilities, this includes Lorcar detonation and hallucination (which they sometimes use to appear invisible). But using these abilities can lead to mental fatigue. The armor itself is as strong as fighter class armor but through the special properties it allows the armor itself to move at an extreme speed, the record for the Locust is two-hundred sixteen MPH. Due to the genetic modification the cells inside the armor they are immune to outside access from other pysker type Lorcar, this includes even the King. It has no built in armaments but anyone that is qualified to be in a Locust, is qualified to use most if not any of the Archive's weapons.

Pysc-shield installation - The shield is now installed in every ship and armor of the Archive.

Approved.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #423 on:** August 06, 2010, 01:28:57 PM »

Tagliare and SDD: Not approved. The spirit would still go to the Spirit Realm. K2 did you even look at the crap?

K2 · « **Reply #424 on:** August 06, 2010, 01:38:43 PM »

Yeah. Spirits don't always automatically go to the spirit realm.
