so when will the rp begion? because as much as i am loving the trash talking i am quite curious.

They are imperfect, but they are also the only thing between you and the Federation. That makes them an object of some respect.

What do you mean the only thing between me and the federation?

Guh, so weapons are easy enough to replace, I've been replacing positron beams with gamma lasers which are still plenty fun. The railguns don't need much changing, just a little tweaking to power them with good old fashioned electromagnets instead of sophisticated gravitics. Missiles are missiles, don't need any changing.

Power generation can be a matter-antimatter reaction or miniaturized fusion, don't really care, I'll decide on it later.

Where I'm having trouble is the drive technology. My ships all have these giant engines, now what are they...

Any suggestions?

@Hael Or anybody.

<Snipped quote by Ozerath>

Big engines?

Perhaps they just have really inefficient warp drives

Now only taking useful suggestions :3

Ion? They're weak but stupidly fuel efficient. I could see them working as pretty good Sublights if you had a fairly large amount to offset their weak thrust. If you're talking about FTL specifically... Dunno.

Ohey there's a thought, thanks bud.

I'm gonna assume inertial dampeners are a generally accepted technology so our crews don't all become pink paste?

This is true, and they are trying to fix it, but that doesn't change the fact that Crushers are their first line of defense.

However, it is considered a disgrace for a Crusher to die from seizures (as the majority do), and a large part of their military funding is spent trying to fix this flaw.

A disgrace for the Crusher or Xim science?
