I told you, their magic levels are two for normal Golems, and three to four for leaders.

So, for the numbers, as a small force it is around five thousand at a time. If some are destroyed they are replaced.

It can only be rarely done. Approved.

Orph · « **Reply #127 on:** February 01, 2010, 11:08:33 PM »

What? Used? No, they are used whenever I fucking want them to be used.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #128 on:** February 02, 2010, 01:34:14 PM »

I'm not telling you when to use them. I'm telling you how often you can use them. They shouldn't be used casually, otherwise there would be a wave of 5,000 Golems every post. I"m still not sure on this... 5,000 things that can survive virtually anything. Whatever hits them, they just form back together, and strike back continuously.

Nisorin · « **Reply #129 on:** February 02, 2010, 02:54:07 PM »

They can't survive virtually anything, Gaserlake. You just need to know how to take it down. Your EST, for example, would work because it would be sucking the soul out of the golems, since the bond would have to be weaker than that of an actual living person, since the bodies wouldn't be made specifically for the soul.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #130 on:** February 02, 2010, 03:37:20 PM »

First, not every one has an EST. Second, I added something to the EST, so it wouldn't be able to get the bond that easily, in order for it to not be godmodding. Third, the Aralangs wouldn't use the EST as the first weapon against the Golems.

Nisorin · « **Reply #131 on:** February 02, 2010, 08:50:10 PM »

Everyone on the board that doesn't have the EST has magic.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #132 on:** February 03, 2010, 12:20:25 AM »

Wouldn't necessarily make them know how to defeat the Golems. IC, nobody except the Archives have encountered Golems.

Orph · « **Reply #133 on:** February 03, 2010, 04:54:29 PM »

It's a pretty simple spell, hell a level three could most likely perform it.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #134 on:** February 03, 2010, 08:19:25 PM »

They could perform it. I'm saying it doesn't mean that they know that they have to do it to defeat the Golems.

Orph · « **Reply #135 on:** March 09, 2010, 10:50:58 PM »

They'll learn it though, one of the best parts of this game is adaption.
---

Void type barrier - This barrier is a type of worm hole, it's erects a power efficient but relatively small portal that leads to a black hole in the middle of no-where. This worm hole can be sustained indefinitely, and isn't a wall, but a bubble like shield. Meaning it blocks from all directions, it is large enough to shield a corvette, it sadly blocks from both sides. Meaning a missile shot from inside it wont reach outside it, and the other way around.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #136 on:** March 09, 2010, 11:08:51 PM »

Making is mostly based on adaption isn't necessarily a good thing. AM field kills their abilities, right? I might have asked this already, but it's been a while.

So, it's a barrier that makes a portal leading to a black hole? Wouldn't the gravitational pull tear things near the wormhole?

Orph · « **Reply #137 on:** March 10, 2010, 07:33:46 PM »

Kills their magic capabilities, other then that no.

No, since it isn't that close to the black hole, it just leads to an area near one. Meaning that basic weaponry such as a laser would be pulled in, since it would be going out of the worm hole and towards the black hole.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #138 on:** March 10, 2010, 10:34:40 PM »

Golems are approved, then, but don't try to use it casually.

If it works against the ship itself, then wouldn't there still be gravitational stresses upon the ships? How long does it take to enable this type of shield? What happens the the normal shield, or is this an upgrade?

Orph · « **Reply #139 on:** March 11, 2010, 04:34:39 PM »

It doesn't work against the ship, it just makes the ship unable to retaliate. I've already explained the gravity issue, this shield can be enabled instantly, the normal shield is turned off while this is online.

Nisorin · « **Reply #140 on:** March 11, 2010, 08:23:10 PM »

I assume the shield can still be destroyed if it takes enough hits?

Orph · « **Reply #141 on:** March 11, 2010, 09:14:40 PM »

No, it cannot be destroyed, as it isn't really a shield but a portal that acts like a shield.

Nisorin · « **Reply #142 on:** March 11, 2010, 09:37:15 PM »

Is there any way for those seeking the ship's destruction to shut down or otherwise render the shield ineffective? If not, I'm gonna call godmodding.

Orph · « **Reply #143 on:** March 11, 2010, 09:48:21 PM »

Bypass the shield, teleporting, jump driving, anything as such.

K2 · « **Reply #144 on:** March 12, 2010, 03:56:38 PM »

I can think of loads of way to get around it.

I approve.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #145 on:** March 12, 2010, 11:20:42 PM »

But if this is a portal, then it would be able to go through enemy shields, as the portal going into said shields would make a part of the shield transfer through the portal. Same thing would apply with the armor and the hull of the ship, as well as the vital systems. Basically, there would be holes in the enemy ship, and parts of the ship that is missing would be somewhere near a black hole. A titan that is unaware of the portal and its abilities could easily be destroyed by a fighter. A planet could get destroyed from a single fighter, heck, even a star!

Orph · « **Reply #146 on:** March 14, 2010, 12:35:01 AM »

Annnddd?

Nisorin · « **Reply #147 on:** March 14, 2010, 01:23:38 AM »

Aaaaaaaaand that's extremely overpowered. You could have a fighter kill a planet with relative ease. I don't think I have to tell you that something like that isn't acceptable.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #148 on:** March 14, 2010, 02:12:01 PM »

Orph, you must be kidding. You were planning to do something like that, weren't you? Anyway, I'm calling this tech godmodding.

Orph · « **Reply #149 on:** March 14, 2010, 04:43:10 PM »

Actually I wasn't.. I hadn't even thought of it, I was regarding this technology as completely defensive.
