I've got two things to ask:
If you're here and are actually still willing to participate in the group, tell me in this thread.

Those of you in the 23rd century war game, post you orders for the next planetside engagement in the Flickr group ASAP.

Okay, three things. If you're here and not in the 23rd century game, join up, because our side needs all the help it can get.

Permalink

Is 'few' a key word?
Permalink

Yes. And now to respond to Spaz's rant against me.
Permalink

I speak for Ian, who is generally in agreement with Moffatt in these things.

Biocomputers? The ones we use are naturally occurring lifeforms, we didn't build them.

Crystal projectiles? I recall nothing ever mentioned about those. It sounds plausible though.

Harnessing the power of light is a legitimate weapon, especially when you're using the sun. However, I still stand against giant laser beams on ships. Feel free to to channel power from a massive solar array into a big laser though, that's plausible.

You can't hide heat in a near absolute zero environment, at least, not for any extended period. Regarding Warpships, there is a difference between an F-22 and a Los Angeles class submarine.

Now, scattering shards of metal at high velocities works. It worked in WWII, it works now. Especially without friction. I never instated a 1-km rule. If I did, I must have been drunk or something. I do agree that the UNE would probably not often go over 1km, given the fact it needs to make a lot of things really fast. Soviets did the same thing back in the day.

Also, you underestimate the size of space. Let's say you're in the middle of Kansas, on foot. You're under attack by someone from a vaguely north direction. Now, pinpoint where they're coming from. Can you do that?

Flame on'd. Remember, Spaz, I speak for Ian. If you have a problem with what I say, you have a problem with what he says. Moffatt is your best hope, but I get the feeling you're done here. See you around.
Permalink

I don't regard any of those as canon these days. Insult my style more, come at me bro.
Permalink

HoT is not a box. It is a big rectangle and a narrow rectangle with stuff thrown on. Learn the difference.

To the seven heIIs with your futurey!

Permalink

If you're hiding behind something, that isn't stealth now, is it? That's the exact same principle of the Warpship. Hide where your heat won't be detected. Submarine hiding, not F-22 stealth. Feel free to try the tachyon bubble.

We've been over the shrapnel issue a hundred times, first against Ultra, now against you. I'm not backing down on this, Ian is with me on that. I'll address that later.

You can see planets, yes. You can detect what elements are on them, and how far they are from the star. However, the nearest Coalition planets with any importance are more than 10000 light years away. So it'll take those signals 10000 years to get to you. Of course, the signals from the Old Coalition probably are reaching you, but they'll go silent soon enough. In theory, you could come and find us. However, I think you have a lot more pressing matters at hand.

You're done here means that I took your closing statement to be one of departure. Are you finished with us or not?

Oh, and note: "I doubt they'd agree with some of the crazy things you've said as of late." Ian is pretty much with me on everything. If there is something I say he doesn't like, he notifies me. Given how similar we think, that's a rare occurrence. Moffatt is an enigma, he needs to be on more.


Permalink

Cursed children and your adult toy jokes.

MAPDs are made of yes. Deal with it.

Y'all can be futurey. However, Ian and I created something that on our side of things is not supposed to be futurey at all. I think we know more about what we created than you. So pretentious, apparently.
Permalink

Stealth is avoiding detection. I classify it as a little different than hiding. Stealth is the plane that sends no radar signals back. Hiding is the burglar in your closet.

We don't use 19th century tactics. The stuff may look it, but we don't use those tactics. You're sliding down the slope from intelligent debate to insulting the opposing side because you don't agree with them.

Moffat is an enigma to ME, I should say. Ian and I talk almost every day, so I know him a lot better despite the fact the rest of you never see him. Conflict of perception, there.

Don't forget who made this what it was, Spaz. They created everything here, I helped out (quite a bit, if I may say so). You're really not in a position to try and shape what Ian and I have created to how you think it's supposed to be. Your side of things, try whatever.
Permalink

I'm not so much snuffing you out as trying to change the tracks you're on. Historically, it's never worked, but I can still try. Ian's the king of half this theme, I'm the Hand, so that means I do all the dirty work, like this. It does get tiring... But order must be maintained. If you like the general theme, try Great Galactic War. It's this group in the year 3000, after the Coalition has been reduced to nearly nothing and no holds barred on tech. Aside from Christian and I though, it's pretty much dead too.


In the highly unlikely chance I ever reproduce, I am going to instantly turn into this guy: http://www.ragemaker.net/images/Angry/33.png

Permalink

And to make another very important point:

If I wasn't coming up with all these rules about things, where would we be? Just like all the other sci-fi themes. Another Farscape, another Star Trek, another whatever. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

But because of what I do, we've maintained something very different from your generic sci-fi themes. Yes, there isn't a lot of flexibility, but the vision is intact. To Ian and I, that's the important part.
Permalink

It's blindingly obvious that my problems with being unyielding and being alone are very related. Now, this right here is not my favorite past time. You're just going into insult mode again. My favorite past time is what led to the creation of all this, something you don't seem to agree with. That's fine. However, you making up things about me, no, that's not fine.

You really don't seem to get this: Ian and I have made this exactly what we want it to be. If you don't like that, okay, whatever. But we all agree it's how things are here. We're not going down the path that so many other things have gone down. Maybe you do get that, I don't know. I'm not looking for a fight, but I seem to have set myself up for one.

Permalink

I wouldn't say I had it coming. You seem to be the only one here besides Ultra who actively resists the flow. Everyone else, including the people who made this entire thing up in the first place, agree with me. Because I'm making sure things are exactly what they want them to be. Go ask Ian right now, he'll respond.

Insult mode? I had higher expectations of you, Spaz. For someone who loves intelligent debate, that seems rather... Well, disappointing, to say the least.
Permalink

How are we all scared off? I, at least, have no fear of Awe. Nay, I've been inactive and not contributing to conversations nearly as much only because I've been trying to figure myself, and the world out. By which I mean I'm obsessed with the idea that every single human being has a mental problem. And I do too.
Permalink

Not at all; that's completely unrelated. To be specific, I've picked out my desired career path (psychology) and started getting to work on it.
Permalink

So I'm enigmatic now? That's a new one.
@Bigness: I think we had settled on a general guideline of 30 seconds to a minute combat range. When a target is a minute away, relative to whatever speed you're going, then you have a decent chance of hitting them, since it takes time to move a large hunk of metal out of the way.
Permalink

Yeah, I don't think I scared everyone off. Well, I scared the riffraff off. We don't want them. The people that remain are the interested ones, thus, the only ones that are worth keeping around. This isn't the affect of my being Stalin, Spaz. This is simply the march of time. People come and go, most go. A few stay. And we are the few, the proud, the... something.

I can't make heads or tails of anything else you said, I'll let you try again in the morning.

You'll want to start by getting a spellchecking (as well as grammar) device.
Next, make sure the group icon looks neat, pretty and very glance attracting.
You'll want to make sure to be a charismatic and likable person, don't act like a stereotypical entitled stuck up child.
If the group is for a comic or something, you'll want to draw people in with professional use of literary devices and an amazing plot.

If I might add in my say,
I actually like Spaz's resistance to the stability Awe likes to create. What I don't like is the way he goes about doing it.

You see, the only thing I haven't liked about you, Suarus, (Aside from your building style, but thats mainly preference.) is how you seem to cling to titles and project yourself as multiple authoritative figures at once to give yourself more of a legitimate appearance.

I believe that Spaz is right in saying that its wrong to have just one guy dictating everything; but, as I think Awe mentioned for some reason or another, its only perception.
In reality; Awe, Ian, and Moffatt AREN'T the only ones that contribute to the theme. In fact, you don't even have to be a leader (Well, it takes leadership, yes; but not established authority.) of any sort to change a theme, as I (Don't mean to put credit on myself) did that before I was elected. The only reason I think Awe is recognized as the canon-master isn't because he actually is one, but because we humanz like to think of things in a stable, solid way. So Awe produces a lot of the canon, yes; but does that mean he is some deity/master that is the only one capable and worthy of producing it, or is it because he is the only one that appears to be doing it, and it appears that no one else is bothering to step up to the plate and take a swing. (And I mean a real swing, not some attempt that the Crimson Guard would make)
_____ _____ _____

And another thing regarding Moffatt being an enigma, meant directly for Awesome; I for one rarely challenge anything you (along with Ian here and there) propose because I honestly feel that I'm way too compliant and unlikely to speak up. (But what if I did? Would I be a "Spaz," an "Ultra?") I can't and therefor choose not to speak for Moffatt, but I get the feeling that he's the same way, too. (Feel free to pick at that last statement as much as you want, but understand that I'm not claiming to know John's feelings, but merely expressing what I think I observe.)

So I think I'm going to get this off my chest here and now. I'm fine with the Coalition we have today, (so long as you remember that, despite the slight differences, Tarsins are human too, and therefore fall prey to human mistakes, such as avarice. The Coalition is merely a skip and a jump away from complete failure and heavily resembles the latter Roman Empire.) but disgruntled with the way I perceive Awe to treat the UNE. I would agree with Spaz that you're defending your brainchild by making us feel inferior. By no means do I want the UNE to be just as powerful as the COP, (were would the challenge be in that?!) but I'm afraid you're being quite the Mary Sue. (Theres Google if you need it)

What?! C'mon, you're not supposed to mention this until AFTER I posted Zahnarzt! They do. At least, when Handwavium was first discovered it was. First off, Handwavium is pretty rare and seems to only naturally exist on specific stars. Second, throwing protons (Or was it neutrons?) is the easy part; its controlling the tachyons that follow. That's the hard part.
Luckily, with the advent of man-made nuclear fusion, energy was much more abundant and Handwavium atoms could then be synthesized from Hydrogen. Awesome had little to do with Tachyon Bubbles. It was mainly Moffatt and I that came up with it and released it to the group. Actually, you can see a Bubbled ship clearly enough to recognize it. Its kind of like a star that's light-years away; you can see it, but by the time you do, its long gone. (So, yes, there is no way of detecting it in time.) Well, I guess wou could search for Tachyons swooshing through space, but it would appear like a blur on a visual screen rather than a sharp, accurate image. Kind of like taking a picture of a moving object with a slow shutter speed.
But even if you did have some kind of way to detect Tachyons, it would still be too late. By he time your computers could process the info and display it, (Thats not including the reaction time of the crew) the ship would already be speeding away. Did someone leak that program to you?

Anyways, though; you definitely could. I've always imagined Tachyon Capacitors (The thingy that keeps the Tachyons going in one direction and what-not) having some kind of cool-down after use. You could have two Capacitors aboard the ship and just switch between the two. (But that would be too easy. Perhaps a side-effect, like it you switch to the other while the original is still powering down, and the two cause interference; perhaps it could yield a rather... explosive situation for the tachyons.)
Permalink

I agree completely with part 1, except that multiple authority figures to seem important part. That's not what I'm doing, I just like making characters. Everyone contributes here, but I feel that I've contributed... a significant amount. See those 18 pages of history for the Coalition I posted a while back. Sadly, no one else has the time, will, or ability (not necessarily all three at once) to do the same. But, hey, if you want to try, I'm not stopping you .

Now, part 2.

I'm going to admit Spaz and Ultra keep me on my feet. However, I am still disinclined towards ad hominem arguments, that's a bit below us all. I will forgive Spaz here, I know the feel that finals create. We're lucky I can vent everything to Ian and Phaze, right? I don't really speak to Moffatt, so I have no idea what he thinks on all this. That's why he's an enigma, I've got nothing on him.

Of course Tarsins fall prey to the same problems. See my 21-page history of the Coalition for GGW. The entire empire is torn apart because someone wanted a little more wealth, women, and power. As long as a strong, moral Emperor rules, the Coalition will continue. Not everyone is like that though... We resemble 8th-10th century Byzantium more than anything.

I don't mean to make you all inferior, I'm just trying to enforce what Ian and John have agreed: The UNE is fighting a defensive war for a reason. That was what was agreed a while ago, maybe things changed. Again, if you think I've created a Mary Sue here, go read the history. It's not pretty: http://23rdcentury.wetpaint.com/page/Coalition%20of%20Planets?

(More so Danny than you, but Danny's not here right now. Eh, I'll just take it out on you.) ...actually, forget those parentheses; I think its just Danny. The only time I can recall (Right now, anyways) was the time the Coalition's destruction was brought up. I think I felt a little crushed when I heard the UNE had little to do with knocking down those last dominoes, but that was me.
Permalink

I don't understand your first point. Making people to inhabit a universe is kind of necessary if you want a story.

I seem to be a punching bag for everyone's frustrations right now. Go ahead, take it out on me. As for the Coalition's downfall, in GGW, it's Earth rebels that destabilize it, internal politics that spark the civil war, and the rest... Well, like a house of cards in the wind. In this timeline here, Ian and I have never really discussed why it ends. But we know how it ends...

_____ _____ _____

As for Fusion Reactors; I really don't know how a modern Nuclear Reactor works. I really should look it up some time, but my understanding was that they merely caused reactor cells to heat ('heat' would be a bit of an understatement, I believe.) up from the fission which then powers a steam engine.

When I imagined Fusion first being able to be manufactured by the UNE, I think of merely a steam engine with super-heated gas rather than fire. (As simple as that might sound to some, that's still much more efficient than fire that you have to constantly feed coal, wood, or other fuel. The Fusion would just go on, and on, and on...)

Small mechanical advances in between.

Later on, perhaps shortly after the first encounter of the Coalition, I imagine the Fusion/Plasma/thingy being in the center of a core, with chambers around it containing two substances with equal but opposite magnetic poles. (The substances would alternate chambers) When the substances move around from convection, they repel themselves and attract each other. Its essentially an electric generator, but instead of magnets on a wheel, its polar molecules from convection.

The only place that Gravity Missiles aren't fired out at long distances are in the 23CU group, namely because I question Danny's understanding of what they really are.
*recalls certain CR written by Danny that mentioned Copernicus Classes flinging Grav-Missiles like no tomorrow, none of which actually affecting the target.*
Permalink

I vaguely remember saying something similar.

Well, don't just stand there Mr. Secret Development Program Hacker the VII; get to work!
Permalink

Another question for you John, if a Gravity Missile is on the same scale as a Titan 1 missile, then 1 stud is 5ft wide and 5ft long, roughly.

I, for one, don't really like the idea of my Zipper being 155ft in length, so it has to be on a larger scale. I pictured my Zipper's bridge to be 30ft long, so each stud is 10ft long. That's double the scale the Copernicus Classes are on, so...

Copernicus Class-
1std = 5ft long, 5ft wide
Full length =

Zahnarzt Class-
1std = 10ft long, 10ft wide
Full length = 310ft long, 50ft wide, 35ft tall

I still see a problem with this... The Zipper has to be bigger than a modern (sea) Battleship, which is on average 600ft. (WW2 era, anyways.) Gravity Missiles don't seem all that big anymore.
Permalink

I try to be consistent with myself, but I might have to change if I want the Niagara to keep her Harbinger-like size... I'm surprised you used the name rather than the nickname. And a meter is pretty much 3ft, so you're saying 900ft... That sounds like what I imagined. Besides, Zahnarzt is actually 6 studs longer than the Zi'Park variety of Zipper.

If the Coalition (I say COP, because only the Niagara would ever get close to this size.) has a maximum of 1km, which is .6 of a mile, that's 3,168ft.
So if a Harbinger (Need you on this one, Awesome. Ian will do, too.) is 3,000ft, then its 3 and a 3rd times bigger than the Zahnarzt. Sounds right to me. Anyone else?
Permalink

I just did the math. If the Copernicus Class was on scale with my Zahnarzt, then it would be 5 and two 3rds studs in length. (not including the Copernicus's antenna.)
Permalink

Sounds right to me.



All my Coalition ships going back to the E-class have been on the same scale, actually. E-class, Nazkhom, and Big Harbinger, all three. I really need to get back to work...
Permalink

Look at what I found!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_types_of_naval_vessels
Permalink

Did my math wrong. Turns out I was measuring by plates, not studs. The Copernicus Class is actually 816ft.

If Zahnarzt is on the same scale as Copernicus, then its really 720ft. I think I like the Sarajevo being longer than my Zipper.

*scraps mini-Sarajevo and begins making uber Missile Cruiser*

At least I learned from it.

I'm impressed by all the work you put in to this, Matt. Thing is, I had once built a minifig scale gravity missile, but scrapped it for parts for the Sarjevo before I could take pictures. Very foolish, I was.

Well, more so than before, but not really. Well, the Coalition doesn't really have a standard either; just a MAPD, nice angles, and ribs with guns in between. UNE has Gravity Missiles, red stripes, long and thin dimensions, and smooth edges. I was actually thinking of taking curved slopes and using the Sarajevo as a jumping point for a Missile Cruiser/Warpship equivalent. I have the majority of it complete on LDD; I was hoping to put it into real LEGO as soon as my BL orders come in.
Permalink

Yo dawgs, I heard you like science fiction, so I put some science in your science fiction so you can science while you science fiction.

In to regards to Electromagnetic Countermeasures:
As I progress through various levels of physics courses I realize that some things in the group are ridiculous, but there's a lot of tech here that isn't very far off the mark. I propose we ravamp the shield technology on UNE ships as such:
The electric field created is no longer meant to stop or slow down incoming rounds. That would take a massively inefficient amount of energy. In stead, using the Coil Rule, if a current is run from the front of the ship to the back or back to front a cylindrical magnetic field is created around the vessel. In place of stopping or slowing the round, the field merely deflects it around the ship without having to bleed off all the kinetic energy.

Out of frusttration in trying to make engines for the Missile Cruiser, I started work on a Hover Tank.

how do you play 23rd century universe? Im on, but clueless.
Permalink

I'll give you the very basics.
Essentially, each side (Coalition and UNE) send in orders dealing with the situation at hand. Except for this round coming up, since though WE know the COP are attacking, the fictional UNE wouldn't know. They were supposed to have orders in about two months ago, but that never seemed to happen.

After the orders are sent in, the admins deliberate a reasonable outcome. (This often takes a few online meetings, since at first people are protective of their units and are sure their side will win). The results are written up, posted, and used as a basis for you to send in your next orders.

THAT much was obvious. I knew that much, but HOW do you play?

Not a bad idea.

@Moffatt:
So, your Sarajevo is an interesting take on the type, but I don't think it really fits the "missile ship" slot quite as well as it could. Methinks something more like http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/azazaza/Misc/missileship.png is in order.
Permalink

Fair point.
Permalink

that looks like a bit of missile over-kill. The Sarajevo looks like a more conventional design.
Permalink

No such thing. The whole point of a missile ship is to dump as many missiles as possible into space in the least amount of time possible. The Sarajevo is, in fact, an extremely poor design, despite looking nice. Missile carriers aren't supposed to be tough or armoured, they're supposed to be flying racks heavily laden with high explosive goodness. In fact, the ideal design would be more like a spacegoing version of http://www.sarna.net/wiki/File:Yeoman.jpg which was in fact what I was going for, but I couldn't think of a way to do it.

I guess you could substitute bigger missiles for lots of smaller ones, but I see your point
Permalink

so a missile ship is a space borne MRL?
Permalink

Pretty much.

I admit functionality was scrapped in the name of aesthetics.

I just watched the movie "Moon". I suggest it become mandatory viewing.
Permalink

Is it about the moon, perchance? And if so, how could something about the moon be relevant to us?
Permalink

It's a nearish future science fiction movie. Lots of really nice science fiction stuff.

Game. On.

Funny, I didn't read that as an echo but four members of a barbershop quartet coming in to sing a chord....
Humor me, I'm nuts.

Ultra is now a barbershop quartet. In the unlikely event this group ever meets up IRL, I expect there to be 3 accompanying singers to Ultra.

We really should do that some time
