[quote=@LHG100] Hey man, if the main thing you remember about it is your guy was a double-rocket launcher carrying dude, and it actually [i]worked[/i], let's figure out why that WOULD work? Maybe explosives and reactor technology have advanced to the point, along with armoring and defensive technologies, that rockets are the only viable weapon anymore? That'd actually be really cool. However, realistically, that'd also allow for other ultra-high-energy things. I could definitely see shit like Annihilator Iosa's energy shield from Iji: You'd basically NEED to hack it or something just to take it down for 10 seconds. That'd probably be military exclusive though, but my point still stands. Elite military guys and mercenaries could, if they have enough money or influence to throw around, have omega-shields. Another thing, since reactors can IRL be rednecked to also be thrusters, (Search up 'thermal turbojet'. thatsmyfetish.jpg) and with likely advanced reactor technology, why wouldn't people have at least basic jetpacks and the like? I mean, that'd probably ruin what you guys were thinking, but that's a likely scenario in such a world. Another thing, if people have such massive amounts of energy to throw around, it's likely that the price of power has gone excessively low, and automation is now simply cheaper for companies and governments to use instead of people? Anyway, that's what I currently have to throw around and discuss. It's all probably a bit stupid but I tried. [/quote] Nah, he was just a normal (extremely buff) dude. And man, jetpacks and stuff like that is why I roleplay in the first place- its all about figuring out how asinine shit like that can not get us killed in a setting built from the ground up to be as realistic as possible with the necessary liberties taken so that it works to as far as our knowledge can go after all the required research. Basically what I'm saying is, motherfucker we got us some jetpacks and perhaps a working explanation for longterm space travel. Would those thermal turbojets be powerful enough to make a trip from Earth to Mars? [quote=@ArenaSnow] Technology I'll try to get to at some point. I think the roleplay will be, for the most part, centered on a single planet at this point; since that's what I'll be developing. Instead of detailing every sector and every planet, I'll be doing the empire, sector, and planet where it all starts when it comes to development. More later on, naturally... :) [/quote] Hey, don't forget to share with the rest of the class. We're all in on this, so we should all give our input on ideas and stuff.
