Mass Effect: The Equestrian Equation

I can see it now!

Ponies: WE FOUND REPARS! DEY ARE KILLING PEOPLES!
The Council: This time we can't believe because we KILLED THEM ALL!!
Ponies: FUK YU, WE KILL THEM WITHOUT YOU THEN!

>XD

Mass Effect: The Equestrian Equation

lol! XD well, I went with the 'destructive' ending, mainly for the mechanic of hitting that shield hard enough to break it.

That said, If i go with 'my' ending, it would imply the ability to bitch some simple common sense into both sides so you can be friends with legion without Tali being a sudden enemy. The geth 'would' be fun, but 'technically' the destructive ending would kill them all

Unless there was some corners of the galaxy, or beyond, that the crucible detonation simply didn't reach... being synthetics and all they are free to survive in places without rapid transportation to habitable places... Of course, if we use 'that' logic and set things up so that the geth survived, and quit possibly legion as well [Emergency transmission of platform consciousnesses beyond the blast range? or some bullshit like that XD], then it's also being set up so that some of the reapers could have survived too XD

So, you want the geth bad enough to have to deal with left over reapers too? XD!

Mass Effect: The Equestrian Equation

The IC starter i'm making is actually... pretty damn big, by my reckoning at least... It's taking me a while TnT I think i might stop half way through it while everyone is 'on their way' to the specific location where 'first contact' will take place [essentially, one post round from the actual landing and the 2 sides meeting face to face] if only because it might take me 'another' day to finish this if I go from the point i'm currently at and all the way through describing the 'updated' canterlot and the landing area and bloody so on.

But you're right =P we should be conversing here damnit!

Mass Effect: The Equestrian Equation

do you mean such as creating tornadoes? or more along the lines of conjuring a storm and directing it's lightning? and of course various other mixing effects.

Being that it's just cloud based, it could still be disrupted with a simple explosive, an 'incinerate' tech skill, or biotic force dispersing it, so i don't see any big OP Issues with it =D though, i expect the council races would be very iffy about him using it in any sort of enclosed spaces near sensitive electronics XD

Mass Effect: The Equestrian Equation

wow! XD Someone showed me that exact picture the other day =3

But 'seeker' sounds fun to have around =3

and hmmm, Silver's magical 'weather armor' sounds viable to me =D I don't mind it unless anyone else springs up a complaint before we get started =3

Isn't it canon that Twilight won't outlive her friends, though?It means that either all the EoH are still alive or they're all dead, pretty much xd

i had an idea about that which i was totally unsure of what to do... also, i would not be at all surprised if they pull some sack of mary sue and suddenly allicornify them all in a later season XD or bullshit it so that rainbow power makes them not age XD saying 'she doesn't out-live them' doesn't necessary mean their saying she's not immortal too XD

Though in this case thoughts turned towards everything from the simple 'If twilight is immortal then the elements of harmony connection makes her friends live longer too' to 'advance magical science comes up with a way to extend life-spans or some might go for the possibility of transference into a 'mana tech construct'... since putting a soul in a magically powered construct like a golem style thing is way easier and safer than downloading an organic mind into a mechanical shell... supposedly'

I don't know XD I was just putting that off as something to bother with should it ever become relevant and just pretend it doesn't matter until then...

Also, kilt, i shall check it in a bit!

My only question pertains to what tech/magic advancements are available pony players? You suggested a few different variations on the magic stuffs a while back but never gave a final answer on it. And just some general Do's and Don't would be nice so I can flesh out my character's abilities and equipment.

well, at present, i haven't hard-wired my ideas for it, though the simple idea of 'think future and throw in magic' could work... They wouldn't likely be investing in 'WMDs' of any kind given their preference for peace [not that the princesses aren't WMDs themselves XD or PMD's as the case may be]

Typical weaponry and gadgets would most likely be designed to perpetrate magic effects, like weapons designed to produce mana beams/shots instead of firing shaved chunks of metal... Technically I would picture their actual 'weapon development' to be sub-par given the preference on peaceful interaction, though quick to adapt their focus should a change in the state of things call for upgraded weaponry... they're more likely to be ability focused, though their defensive technology could expected to be top notch, both personal and wide-spread.

As for magic, after a couple centuries of 'princess twilight sparkle - the defacto queen of magical advancement XD' it's safe to assume that the various Equestrian species would have an improved understanding of magical applications unique to different species [like pegasi producing weather based effects through their wings, or earth ponies being able to 'anchor' and reinforce against attacks, or, well, you know, imagination!]

Honestly, I dislike creating a strict system of limitations, It'd be easier to have everyone PM things they think may be risky and I can tell em if it's too much at this point or not, or find some way to make it feasible if it's not.

For most of it, I intend to 'visualize' and do my best to make it known and descriptive as it becomes immediately relevant IC.

Also, i think may alter my changeling to be an infiltrator instead of a manager... I feel i'm reaching too far for my own tastes by putting him 'in-charge' of a group... nevermind the totally backwards idea that they'd let a dozen changelings onto their ship in the first place!

Yeah I can do the Diplomat and the entire crew coming in

coolies =D that actually helps me a shit ton ^.^ now i'll just need to get things set up and post the IC, it should be sometime tommorrow =3 given that it's 3am right now XD

Mass Effect: The Equestrian Equation

Hmmm, i hate second guessing myself -_-

Do you guys think It would be better if I reconfigure my changeling character so that there's an 'NPC' manager in charge of the 'micro hive'? and just set him up for something different, perhaps an infiltrator style XD he's already half way there.

Mass Effect: The Equestrian Equation

okay, i've got my 'compiled notes' finished, really shouldn't have taken me this long, but not much you can do when RL gets up in your face.

I'll get to putting the first IC post together soon, also sent pm's to those who haven't made much action in a while XD

Are there any big questions I've been failing to answer so far?

Also, i'll go about describing some of the 'updated apperances' of equestrian construction when i do that first post =D

Drac, are you interested in handling details for the diplomat and their crew you'll've been escorting? or shall I crack that out in the first post too?... I'm terrible at coming up with names DX<
