[quote=Ellri] That is plain illogical and idiotic. Those are our final words on the matter.Stripping away one integral component will fracture the rest of it.This "knowledge core" is something we've never heard of from anyone other than you. The knowledge database of the Asgard is how everything in the core works the way it does.By the way, the matter converter is basically using the Asgard beaming to assemble stuff from raw energy. We suppose that, since you've slowed that down, you'll also be slowing down the beaming, seeing as its the same emitter tech?The Asgard core is an "all-or-nothing" object and will remain so until they've managed study it for a long time. Figuring out everything about it would take a lifetime at minimum. You saw that in "Unending". While you'll have to install it all, you do not have to make it all available to whomever. Restricting access to stuff is a military favorite. You know that as well as us.We're all for having nobody or nearly nobody on the ship able to access the database of Asgard knowledge. That makes sense security-wise. Removing it from the ship will cripple the core, if it is even possible without using decades or even centuries of time to figure out what is safe to remove and what isn't.Following the situation in Ark of Truth, we'd guess that access to the higher Asgard systems will be even more restricted. That would be both matter converter and database. Probably other things as well. [/quote] To be fair When I said knowledge core I didn't sort myself out. Also the beaming will be fine as it uses specific buffers. However what will be slowed down will be the searching through all off the data and in turn to construct anything you build with it simply as the Asgard din't teach them how to build a core with Earth Tech they just gave them one of their own cores. When it comes down to it Ellri, this is the way it is going down. Asgard Core with all the bells and whistles but is slower with security access. If you don't like it, well. Tough titty. Hell if you really want you can say it is a security precaution to prevent Insta-construction to allow security teams time to catch someone accessing the core without authorization.I'm a lenient point to a degree, but at a certain point I really don't care if everything fits into the perfect world for Ellri or follows Ellri logic to the letter,.
