Lasers and beams can go in every part of the EM spectrum. Heat is included, which is infrared. I doubt that it absorbs 100% of energy in one part, but 0% in another, because if you absorb the energy, it would become potential energy. Since BALAR is full of potential energy, when it is not absorbing, it would absorb itself.

Lolz, then don't say that the Saraton Energy beams are 'utterly useless', if it's true, but I'm not arguing about that.

Lasers are intensified light, it doesn't absorb the entire EM spectrum only intensified light. Not radiation or the likes, but LIGHT. And Beams are energy. -_-

And the last part is you just being stubborn, as I've said, it absorbs the energy in that form, meaning it doesn't absorb potential energy.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #252 on:** May 31, 2010, 10:38:16 PM »

Alright. So how much can it hold before it is destroyed by all the energy/stops absorbing it, hmmm?

Gaserlake · « **Reply #253 on:** May 31, 2010, 10:49:15 PM »

LIGHT IS ENERGY! LIGHT MAKES UP THE EM SPECTRUM! IN THE MIDDLE OF IT IS VISIBLE LIGHT!

When the energy is absorbed, it would become potential energy, unless it would be used. You wouldn't be able to use it all at once.

The energy is absorbed into the ship's system, either to help power the propulsion system as well as weapons and such. And no, radiation makes up the EM spectrum, light is just a small part of it.

Depends on the ship it's connected to Red, you can overload it depending on the ship, but the ship can also vent it through weapons and different systems.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #255 on:** May 31, 2010, 11:03:55 PM »

You gotta factor in the energy from the generator, too, so its not like it'd be a rare occurance, correct? Therefore, depending upon the situation, it could be more of a hazard than a armoring.

Orph · « **Reply #256 on:** May 31, 2010, 11:06:02 PM »

Actually, it really depends on the ship. If you tried to overload the Omega, it could just easily vent the energy right out of it's numerous weaponry vents, it's intended to use the BALAR as best as it can. And if you get a big input of energy through the BALAR you can redirect it straight out your weapons, if they are energy based that is.

Why does it say VISIBLE light, instead of just light? A photon is a basic unit of light and ALL other forms of electromagnetic radiation. The EM spectrum ranges the EMR. Since the photons make up the EMR, and photons are light, that means that light makes up the EMR, making up the EM spectrum.

You can't use all of it at once, only very quickly.

Light does make up the entire spectrum, as it is electromagnetic RADATION.

Again, the energy would become potential, as you can't use the absorbed energy immediately, only very quickly.

This may have been stated before, but I'm low on time right now and can't check. Why can't he use it immediately?

Gaserlake · « **Reply #259 on:** June 01, 2010, 07:25:59 PM »

It's not that he can't. He's already got two approvals from you and K2. I think it's godmodding. Orph says that the BALAR absorbs 100% of the energy from lasers and beams. Yet, lasers and beams could be made out of the same type of energy from a lot of things, so there would be more than just lasers and beams that would be absorbed.

Nisorin · « **Reply #260 on:** June 01, 2010, 07:36:29 PM »

That doesn't answer my question. You said he can't use it immediately, just quickly. What do you mean by that?

Energy doesn't move at a infinite speed. Sure, its fast, but it still takes a tiny amount of time to get from one place to another. At least, I think thats what Gaser means.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #262 on:** June 01, 2010, 07:46:24 PM »

Oh. I thought you meant using the armor itself. I don't see how you would be able to use all of the energy at once. It's like download speed. Even if you have a Tb/s download speed on a megabyte, it would take .000001 seconds to download it. It doesn't complete it immediately. It's kinda like using the energy.

That's what I meant, Hiro. Only at infinite speed would it take literally no time to use it.

Orph · « **Reply #263 on:** June 07, 2010, 04:29:49 PM »

I never said it could use the energy right off the bat, it would require time to use it, even if that time is incredibly small. That's why I said it's possible to overload a ship that uses BALAR type armor, but the size of the ship accounts for how much energy is required to overload it. Even an entire fleet the size of the Aralangs would have a large amount of trouble overloading lets say.. The Omega.

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, Lorei, Earth, Ground Island, Lesh, Terraguove, Japae and it's university, Elmora, Nairyo, Novier, and Nil. The Hub part of the Web-to-Hub is the Library, which can easily relay the data to it's fleet.

Nisorin · « **Reply #264 on:** June 07, 2010, 04:45:29 PM »

To my knowledge, the Archive has never met the Loreians, and thus wouldn't know that they were there, or the location of Lorei and/or Nairyo.

Orph · « **Reply #265 on:** June 07, 2010, 04:47:17 PM »

Since when do you have to meet a race to know of it's existence, or the planet's?

Nisorin · « **Reply #266 on:** June 07, 2010, 04:50:21 PM »

How else would you find out?

Psyc-shield: Once someone figures out the scrambling method, he or she could easily use it to alter the original signatures in a way that, normally, they'd be ineffective, but once inside the Psyc-shield, be fully effective, correct?

I've actually needed to explain this, they couldn't really. Seeing as the psychic signature would be the same as a Magic Signature, or at least similar, meaning it couldn't be changed. Not unless you changed your mind, literally.

The Lorei traded with the Archive and it's allies during the Second Sage War.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #268 on:** June 07, 2010, 05:21:19 PM »

When'd they discover Elmora?

Orph · « **Reply #269 on:** June 07, 2010, 05:39:35 PM »

Half the Archive's fleet is just out exploring.

Nisorin · « **Reply #270 on:** June 07, 2010, 07:11:29 PM »

Ah yes, I'd forgotten about that part. However, they traded with Hikaru on the Outerverse, performing the transactions there, not on their home planets. The Archive'd know that the Loreians exist, but not where they exist.

Orph · « **Reply #271 on:** June 07, 2010, 07:58:10 PM »

That makes them apart of the Galactic community, means they trade and are known by said community. If the planet's known by the galaxy, and not hidden and such. Then an empire shouldn't have to discover it.

Nisorin · « **Reply #272 on:** June 07, 2010, 09:19:41 PM »

So, one instance of trade with a single individual means that they are part of the galactic community?

Orph · « **Reply #273 on:** June 08, 2010, 02:57:42 PM »

It means that they are KNOWN by the galactic community, meaning they are not undiscovered.

But hang on. First you say that the BALAR armor absorbs specific types of energy, which I doubt, and Saraton Energy is a unique type of technological energy, so you wouldn't be able to absorb the beams. Then, you said that it would absorb the Saraton beams, making me assume that BALAR armor does in fact absorb all types of energy, as you didn't even research into the Saraton beams. Not once.
