From Stardust, to Stardust: Tales of Andromeda, a Sci-Fi Fantasy RP

Consideribg covenant ships can actually be just a few hundred meters from the ground, they are clearly built to take gravity, at they very least they can withstand more than 4 times the gravity of Earth (Which covenant ships would have to be able to hold due to "Ti", the homeworld of the Lekgolo) and I would personally wager they could handle more. Furthermore, as demonstrated in Halo 4. A rag tag fleet of covenant ships recieving little to now maintainance in over 4 years is pulled into a forerunner planet by a gravity well and yet many ships survive and are fully operational to the best of our knowledge. Also, such a stratergy would be impractical; The power requirement would be too immense and the generator would likely end up damaging its self (Remember that the gravity would work on the boosters, shield generators, presumably the shields, the power cells etc,attached to the device, and if it is powerful enough to crush fleets its powerful enough to implode...

@darkwolf687

Stop ruining my ideas with your logic IT'S SCIENCE FICTION ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE /me falls into the sky

@WilsonTurner

It's Science Fiction Fantasy, even the impossible is possible. Including making the possible impossible through making the impossible possible because WE HAVE MAGIC AND NANOBOTS. MAGIC. AND NANOBOTS. NOTHING CAN STOP US.

@Keyguyperson

And that superduper rare thing that Duck found on one of your core planets from several hundred lightyears away! Dude, you should just mine it before he can get to it, and cart if off as they take the planet :D

@WilsonTurner

Pfft. The Abh are gonna be all like "Oh look they used that glowy blue stuff to build death robots, let's look for that on all of our planet. Oh look our homeworld is made out of it thus explaining it's gravity/size ratio how convenient. Let's make an army of death robots so we can actually invade planets without losing our entire armed forces." Then this roleplay becomes a mecha anime because two nations decided "The only way to invade planets is with giant death robots".

@Keyguyperson

Numero uno problem: The Draconians have antimatter missiles. "OP DEATH BOT SIGHTED!" "LOCKING ON!" *death bot is turned into stardust*

@WilsonTurner

TITLE DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP Then again, antimatter weapons against death bots in atmosphere doesn't strike me as the best idea. Regular missiles? Sure. Antimatter ones? Continents generally like to exist.

Anyone know this 'series'?

@WilsonTurner

The name of the series is in the lower right-hand corner of the image itself.

@ASTA

Hi there ASTA, planning to join the RP yet?

@Zadubadabu

A) You should know that ASTA probably isn't joining, unless you're not paying any attention or are feigning ignorance, and B)ASTA, you've been told repeatedly to stop posting without joining. Yes, it's right there, I realize thqt, but that's part of the fun- teasing whoever doesn't know that it's right. Congrats, you're ignoring the GM and ruining a joke.

@WilsonTurner

While I support the freedom of people to snark wherever they want, yeah, a lot of the people here really don't want you to stay apparently (I mean, Duck just hates you, but some people surely have legit opinions). Coming from someone who has respect for you, please stop posting here unless you have something nice to say that isn't also an attack. Still technically against the rules, but as you might have noticed, Duck and I aren't fully cooperating. Especially with *COUGH* some things *COUGH* existing in general. Oh yeah, by the way Zab, is there any news on how long until you get your next post out? Don't want to pressure you, it's just that this arc has a lot of potential.

Stranded in the Stars (Sci-Fi Survival)

Just a question: Is it possible for us to join after the start (as in now)? Because I don't recall if it was stated and haven't seen anything on it. I don't do much "normal" (we NRPers like to call it "personal-level" roleplaying, so I don't know about basic etiquette here.

Yeaaah because its totally something the Terrans would do, bomb innocent civilians. /sarcasm

duck55223

Yes. It is. Remember WWII? Do you think that bombs only fell on military bases? In every war, the civilians can be your worst enemy. They're the ones that build all the vehicles and make all the weapons, they're the ones that will be a thorn in your back because you just conquered their home. Besides, do you honestly think the Terrans would invade a planet? That's just stupid. They would have to transport millions upon millions of soldiers across light years of space over the course of multiple years, then lose the vast majority of them while trying to land their damn ships. After that, the remaining few would be fighting against billions of enemies in constant battle without any break, only to be finally taken out by aerial bombing. The only way for the Terrans to fight an offensive war is by killing every last thing from orbit. Think about it. The Iscandarians threatened to destroy humanity entirely, and the humans know for a fact that they are capable of it (since they gave them their current warp drive). That kind of threat isn't taken lightly, and so far there hasn't been any sign of the civilians trying to stop the genocide (Even the earlier rebellion is thought to have been faked). As far as humanity is concerned, this is a war of extermination. Either the Iscandarians or humanity goes extinct, and nothing else will ever end the war. So stop trying to tell me that I'm being unrealistic in my depiction of the humans. Also, never, ever tell me that I'm out of character. You suggested that the Iscandarians commit suicide after the lost one battle, you have no right to tell ANYONE that they're being out of character. In fact, new rule: Duck can't tell anyone that they're out of character! That's going in the OP!

@Keyguyperson

Holy shit, what happened while I was gone? Anyway, yeah, we know that humans have a massive propensity for evil haha >:) I'll make a post later today. I find it important to mention, as there was talk about quadrants, that I like to think the Ghaj is actually from a different quadrant of the galaxy (one that's swarming with not si peaceful alien factions xD) and is colonising this one rather than the other way around

@darkwolf687

Heh heh heh. Humans will commit genocide if they feel like it's the right thing to do. Which is kind of funny, considering how they're currently committing genocide to redeem themselves from committing genocide. After this, however, they might get a wee bit arrogant.
