so this is happening

<Snipped quote by Keyguyperson>

well there was also this, but I'm not convinced yet -- been burned by calibration errors one too many times.

@mdk

If it isn't an error, then that means something created that warp bubble. From what I know about the stuff, that means negative energy. If I'm marginally correct there, and there is no error, this is the most important discovery since discovering things. Of course, it's probably an error.

Of course, other, ah, people might not want ragtag groups running around selling all their technology to anyone who gives a bid, and these, ah, parties might be interested in, ah, stopping that trade. Permanently.

@WilsonTurner

If you try to exterminate the trading partners of the LSN, you will find yourselves in a war! Our worlds are backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

...

That's a scary thing, right? Why are you not scared? Why is that sword glowing? Wha- OH GOD MY ENTIRE LOWER BODY IS GONE

Also, for those with the ability to send ships into space, would you mind if I 'borrowed' a few of your fighter classes?
Considering that if your nation had the ability to break free from planetary gravitation well, I'm certain some of your fugitives/criminals/runaways have escaped. It's like border patrols, how you can't cover every exit!

@Kimiyosis

Exactly how willing are your people to trade technology? Because I know of a nation that will want technology. Lots of it. Very quickly.

Eh. At least we've got this thing that'll take us to the moon 24 times faster than the fastest thing a human ever rode in.

Still takes over four years to get to Centauri.

Not good enough.

My headphones are in shambles.

I remember when my headphones died. I went a whole week with apple earbuds.

Life is suffering.

I got a couple of ideas species wise.

Tell me, is there anything off the table?

@Sep

If you explain it and it follows the rules, it's all good

Stellvia [Sci-Fi]

Interested!
Just curious, I was musing over a 'nation' idea.
Something akin to a hotpot of different species and ships, somewhat nomadic(They live in their ships, planets are for R&Rs)
Basically, the assorted bunch had come together as a multitude of different situations. Some are fugitives, some are mercenaries(if they weren't, they have to be now to make a living :P), and some are governmental figures who were kicked out by revolutions. Just...a really, really varied bunch.

Something along the lines of "Kicked out from everywhere else? Welcome home!" or the like.

Well, it's definitely not going to have much in way of capital ships. Largest is most likely a destroyer, and two frigates. Everything else is populated by a mix-matched variety of customized fighters XD

@Kimiyosis

That'd be fun to see, especially with the "exiled leaders" idea. I'm just imagining them bickering over different extremist ideologies!

Interested. I might port over my other application from Andromeda, though I'm considering running an entirely new nation.

@ASTA

ASTA! Don't go around doing that kind of thing! Do you how much ER visits cost in the US? Third-degree burns will bankrupt a man!

@Keyguyperson

Room for a Sep?

I was interested in star dust but then it was all arguements.

@Sep

There's always room!
