this topic, while it is at least within the theme of the guild, is still an advertisement for something not on the guild, created by someone that appears to have joined for the express purpose of advertising his work.

Here's some new images of the facility as it is now. Should be much cleaner in appearance now. Less lopsided.
The asgard core, while Sep may groan about it, is the tool to create advanced Asgard stuff. It contains all their knowledge, including the schematics and construction manuals for all their technology. They don't need to use earth computers, because the asgard computer that an asgard core is, is far, far better.
Some things can easily be built using the shipboard matter converter. Others would require more complex assembly systems. We would be very surprised if they do not have an Asgard core somewhere in Area 51 or a similarly secure facility that is on Earth. Given time, they would be able to slowly build up an asgard-level assembly facility to build most things. It might take them several years post-Unending to do so, but that they have had. It won't be as easy to construct such a facility underground, but not impossible. The more feasible alternatives to underground are offworld and in space. They can't very well set up an Asgard shipyard anywhere on the surface of the Earth. Anywhere outside Sol would be uncomfortably vulnerable to enemy attack, so that leaves underground or in hidden in space, probably in a Lagrangian point not visible from the Earth, or on the surface of another planetary body in Sol.
There's no reason the Tau'ri can't build Time-dilation Technology. Its more probable that they haven't. Or won't.
Its quite possible that the technology is fairly expensive power-wise. Ideally, a time-dilation field would be optimal for research or construction. or for training. Imagine someone going through years of training in a matter of days or weeks. Using that, they could train personnel rapidly. The real problem with this is that its too powerful. Like the Wormhole drive at the end of SGA.
Another example of too-powerful tools would be using a pool of replicator nanites as a factory. You could simply assemble a pool of them, then throw space rocks in and get refined raw materials out on the other side. Its obvious they understand a lot of the replicator code with how the IOA was able to modify it for the Ark of Truth incident.
The Stargate universe is rife with technology that can be (ab)used in overpowered ways by the right minds. For that matter, it would not be surprising if they've also gained access to certain amounts of Ori technology as a "thank you" for liberating (for lack of a better name) the children of the Ori.
But for the sake of having an enjoyable RP, most of these uses for potentially abusable technologies ought to be ignored.
Sep said the core is complete, but with severely restricted access and some slowness (in part) due to the restrictions. Lets stick with that. Any appearance-wise differences between the various 304s are semantics. Other than the obvious ones like a ventral deployment platform on one ship.

That sounds a lot like player incompatibility. Or errors in RP design. Or Something else.
Still, 1/4 isn't a horrible ratio if that one is one that lasts.

hmm... this is one we could've worked something out on... oh well... too late now.
"Sep" said Asgard Core with all the bells and whistles but is slower with security access.
That sounds good to us.
Now that we're fairly close to being in agreement... Lets bury the discussion and get on with the RP. Any objections? (If you have any, kindly shove them where not even the ascended ancients can find them.)
activity is always nice.
We're once again enhancing the 3D model for Nyiss' Korriban facility.
This time we're working on adding more paths for the various A-->B routes.
For example:
Previously, the path from medical bay to a selected Sith room at the bottom of the facility was about 2.2km of walking as well as a 264m turbolift.
Now there's an alternate route that is about 600m walking and a 364m turbolift.

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.

We're back now. We'll read up on the IC tomorrow.
