[quote=@thewizardguy] [@KoL] Considering the vast technology that the Machina have shown (including wipe-people-out-of-time-and-space) wouldn't it make sense for FTL travel to be old news for them? I mean, they've somehow managed to completely ignore traditional physics to construct giant mecha suits with laser guns, they should be able to reach at least close to lightspeed with advanced vessels. [/quote] The sword Eos used wasn't Machina technology at all. Only the act of she recreating it was, but the weapon itself is a far more complex entity. I never said that they can't have it. What I've said is that Miyu can't possibly have got her hands on this kind of technology, since the last battle took place in a weapons factory and the and, interstellar weapons are pointless on the Nexus (as is FTL travel technology). To the Triumvirate, there's nothing worth of interest out there, outside of the main world where they inhabit and fight. Thus, even if the Machina have this kind of technology, it would not be in a place like KC-00032 or be readily available to steal without consequences. I really don't get the amount of effort put on trying to subvert the setting, since this isn't a space opera RP. After all, you all don't suppose that we will go out of our way to narrate this kind of stuff that we have no interest in/is completely outside of the story's subject, do you? Spin-offs are best handled as their own thing. However, if you really have any big interest in space exploration, ask [@Lonewolf685]. He has a "character" in reserve that might become very interesting for you. In fact, this is potentially the best chance to introduce it to the RP in a relevant way. I'm sure that you guys can work something out.
