Anyway, you aren't playing a faction in this Asuras?

[NacNak]

this might be a little off topic but if it takes so much energy to blow up a star is there any reason behind how in Spartan ops (halo 4) that a star exploded when a forerunner shield world crashed into it? =3

See is a constructive question/discussion starter.In any case, it doesn't matter whether or not system-busting bombs is feasible, necessary, or what-not because has them anymore. Period.

Well. Problem solved then.

That's due to 343 Studios not knowing what they were doing, provided your description of the events in the game are accurate.

Debating. I might do some small Tier 4/5 factions here and there.

that's a likely option X3

I think it was more that they just didn't care.

But free online articles exist. No excuse. I'm not asking for people to have a degree or anything here, but at least try.

Nerfing time.

1: Solar storm, kill all life in a system.

2: Solar storm, fries space objects, vessels.

3: Any of the above, smaller, more localized space.

4: 'Conventional' doom weapons, big bombs & what not.

5: Nothing, End the war through conventional means... how disappointing.

6: More 'Overcompensating' jokes. Fuck you too.

[Theodorable]

I'm still volunteering for putting together a cosmographical map, unless Asuras still has it locked down.

Still working with Universe Sandbox. If it falls through, I'll come to you Theo.

Theo, you never did explain what you meant by "xenocentric" policies. That sounds like it would involve favouring aliens over your own species, but that doesn't exactly fit the Graal. I'm also curious why you wanted to know if I was the guy with the chlorine-breathers?

[Theodorable]

Can Universe Sandbox even show civilizations, or is it purely just for purposes of planetary systems and spatial mapping? Nothing against it, I'm just more interested in the geopolitical climate than I am planetary bodies.

Xenocentrism is preferring your own species to others. Like the Galactic Empire in Star Wars was xenocentric in that it largely favored humans over aliens. A Pro-Graal government would be xenocentric in that it alienates non-natives. So if the Earth government was pro-Graal it would support Humans and alienate other races, besides the Graal (who is the hand that feeds them).

The reason I asked about your people breathing chlorine is that the manner in which Chlorine reacts with Hydrogen would make a planet rich in Chlorine filled with HCl (Hydrochloric Acid). Your oceans would be muriatic acid, your atmosphere would be corrosive as soon as it mixed with moisture or water vapor; but no worries -- I'm just a moron.

I lied by posting in the thread as if I wanted a general opinion, the only opinion I really care about right now is yours.

The only thing it can't do that a 2D map can is outline galactic sectors and name them. Nothing throwing an image of it into paint can't solve though.

I was legitimately answering your poll.

I'm not out to rag on you if that's what you think.

I mean, big bad doom weapons aren't off the board. I didn't say your AI v. AI war era couldn't have used a system-buster, just that your current civilization couldn't.
