Roughly 200-500m meters in length. Any other measure is up to you.

@Admiralkio

That's good because I'm already writing my ship profile and it's 456m long.

I was refering to Willy Vereb.
Now, i'm going to dive into details about the whole shielding system, and FTL.
Hard light refers to photons which are not moving very much, therefor solid. Humanity has plasma-based force-fields, as in they use the forth state of matter to provide a defensive barrier. It's really just a fancy trick with magnets, it's the same stuff in Tokamak reactors really.

@Admiralkio

I thought we are more or less free to describe what our ships can do.
Can you give me a quick rundown on what technology we use, then?
And my example with plasma weapons was that they don't splash all over the place like a futuristic flamethrower but form a "heat bullet" to be projected for distance.
But if the current technology appears to use only Em fields and maybe plasma barriers then yeah, hard light is beyond your capacity.
and nah, hard light never meant freezing photons in place. To begin with that doesn't even make much scientific sense.
It's basically just another way to say you create solid structures formed of energy, so in short they are the product of precisely manipulating forcefields.

EDIT:
Anyways, dibs on the Destroyer spot.
Just tell me how large a Destroyer-type ship is supposed to be here.
Let's say I make a "stealth destroyer".

@Willy Vereb

Yeah, that's what I was going for. I must admit, I panicked when I saw the first post - I was like "What? Surely it can't be that small?"

@White Feather

Yeah 5k+ map dimensions are in the OK range.
Albeit I sadly used the correct means to calculate the size of my nation so I'm indeed just as large as Greece now.


(Granted, I didn't want to be a huge nation to begin with. I want to be a considerable sea power, though)

Anyways, what are your thoughts on my nation using griffs and generally possessing various means to travel in the skies?
It's a pretty fun prospect and if you think things through being in the air isn't even really anything close to OP.
Not until you can use cannons or other siege weapons, at least.
(Not like I want them, though)

Anyways, time to introduce what I roughly plan for my nation.
How do you feel if my elves have extensive use of Griffins or its derivatives.
They are less of über units and more like literal air cavalry. They have their various ups and downs and of course griffins are still more expensive than horses.
I also think about making air carriages for nobles or chariots riding in the skies. Of course towed by rows of Griffins.
It'd be pretty fun.
If you worry about griffin archers or such, the problem is that winds are greater in high altitudes plus that distance is both a curse and a boon for them. Ground archers may find difficult to hit them but so would Griffin Archers find difficult to hit anything on the ground. So there would be a more optimal altitude for them when griffins are used in battle. I may also think of Griffin Knights if the weight limits isn't too strict. Basically Griffin Riders who attempt to pierce their foes with a lance while directing their griffins in a dive move.
I would also think that magic/alchemy would be implemented with my nation in a method close to technology. The results aren't powerful but can help to bridge some minor technical difficulties.
Basically it'd less of an "über OP magic world" and more like an odd empire with their own unique development.

I'm mildly interested. Is that some kind of multiplayer nation strategy game, like EU4 or Total War?

In other news, I'm halfway through the first part of my post. Thus far I have described the Sultanate's capital and its history in a flowery and rather thorough way. Elf style. Babur is going to arrive back at home, get settled in, and promptly start responding to the stuff going on in KalMea and Avalia.

...and meanwhile the people over in the Zanjir will be going crazy, as the second part of my post.

@Cyclone

Add crotch skulls with dragon motifs and you seal your alliance with KalMea for a lifetime.

Rapere Solis (Heavy Sci-FI/Space Fleet RP)

The FTL cannon is OK, though, hard-light is a no go. That is far beyond Humanity's current level of technology.
The Hegemony is rather Hellenistic, so yes. They take the best of all their colonies and put it into their government and military forces, most military however.

@Admiralkio

I can't see how hardlight is beyond humanity's level of technology when they have FTL travel.
As I said it's basically just the manipulation of forcefields and then getting that field to spin at high-relativistic velocities.
Thus light turns into something with effective mass and sorts of a presence.
I think the only example of hardlight people know from fiction is Halo and they somehow associate it with crazy advanced Forerunner technology.
If you have either energy shields or more or less tangible forcefields then you are also capable of producing hard light.
My version is a bit more complicated but if you have plasma weapons shooting contained balls of superheated gases then hardlight projectiles are about the same difficulty.

Seriously, I see more complications for externally assisted warp travel (FTL catapults as long range kinetic kill cannons) than anything with hardlight.

Any "differences in culture" that make wearing a skull above your crotch acceptable are way to big to be ignored.

Congrats, Willy, your weirdo-King has made diplomacy with the elves impossible

@Hael

Those are proud Griffin skulls. Don't dare to look down on them!

Also luckily to you that outfit is the Emperor's "casual clothes".
Do you wish to see what he wears for religious occasions?

BE SURPRISED

Yup, it's actually pretty tame compared to before.

Goddamn Europeans.

@Mihndar

We do have a distinct fashion sense, apparently.

@White FeatherOh, I just made a calculation.
If you say the Continent has the area of 10,000,000 square kilometers and not the map then my previous calculation on the map's dimension was wrong.
It's roughly an 5200km x 5200km map, then.
That's better than I thought.

Stellvia [Always Accepting] (Hey, these things in parentheses are hip, right?)

Anyways, does anyone wishes to make "first contact" with my nation.
I am a yet unspecified position at the edge of the Milky Way.
If any civilization is active around the edges I'd "meet" them gladly.
