It seems that the only way to prevent yourself from getting invaded and destroyed in this setting is to make your nation completely cut off from the rest of the galaxy.

I was more or less cut off from everyone else.

And duck, you ALWAYS cheat, in some form, as Darkwolf says. You used to have giant-ass planetary shields that block EVERYTHING. Like, half your workforce would have to be doing the most energy-producing thing possible to keep that shield up without fail.

I just make it so that everyone can see it, instead of being the co-GM where I can do whatever I want without complaint.

There is Duck and ASTA saying, no, it won't work, and Dark, MrFoxNews, and myself saying yes, it is working and will work.

Had it been said earleir before it happened, then Duck would miraculously avoid encountering anything that could mortally wound or destroy his nation. This is, of course, a roleplay, and not a strategy game, Duck. It's the story that counts, and if a nation falls quickly to the Hive, then it falls, and another can be made. The goal is not to survive or conquer, after all, but make a good story, and I think this would make a good one. People fleeing, being taken down, and it won't just be you, it'll be me and after you, the Humans. You can flee or you can try to fight and take it down with you, but I'm going to have my race flee.

However, my ship entered direct combat, which means that my guys will gain the chance to fight back, or evacuate accordingly.

Duck rarely goes off his pre-beaten path of magical creatures that base everything off of magic and simple tactics. An example would be the fact that a shield that covers an entire planet would take so much energy to resist an entire fleet's firepower would be so ridiculous, you might as well just make an energy shield projector and ENCASE the fleet inside of it.

Quite simply, you're screwed, I'm close to being screwed, let's all scream and die together, shall we?

The dust stuff got into the drone by way of FLOATING IN SPACE. I think oxygen is irrelevant.

Duck, the reason darkwolf didn't say anything on the OOC was because you'd just make it completely anti-bad. You're doing it right now, after you've gotten it. You change things so that you win, like, everytime.

You've got the L'Er in your people. Should I have had the same happen by darkwolf's doing, then I'd be stuck with it.

Nope. My character was ordered to be arrested for no legitimate reason, so his original plan to become some kind of knight or somesuch was smashed, and now he hates Otheans. So now he will either go to Egypt, or my unfinished lore of the Helia Kingdom

Planet N-1, Orbit
As one ship moved to divide the Explorer and the cargo ship, efforts to contact the intruders were given up, and they fired upon the vessel now labelled as a hostile. In short order, the Explorer reached extreme engagement range, and the two beam cannons mounted on the front lashed out. Typical firing arrangement; the beams would fire a short distance away from the target, and then it would sweep directly across the ship to the opposite side. With two cannons, it was more of a scissor-fire.

As the Explorer closed into optimum firing distance, the ship slowed its advanced, and two large boxes, larger than a school bus, extended from the surface of one of the plates of armor. The boxes sat for a moment, and then a torrent of missiles launched, launching a rain of armor-piercing and high explosives, alternatively. The missiles would fire for seven seconds out of their launch bays, split into two parts, in which the missile will maneuver away from its other half and away from other missiles, and reactivate when close to the target, jetting forward.

As the Explorer did so, the cargo ship un-latched from half of its segmented payload, 'dropping' about six of the dozen containers that were connected to its "spine," and slowly pulled up and turned away. The containers continued on the same course, heading towards the two eager ships as the cargo ship readjusted course away from them, away from the planet, and began accelerating to escape.

(Don't take control of the containers, please, goodies inside I wish to reveal.)

I thought you were talking about me, since the sensors that I have detect the size and shape of mass, rather than Duck's.

And the parasites gain the knowledge of their hosts, do they not, similar to the Flood from Halo? The people on the station will have undoubtedly traveled back home at one point or another, and they'll know the route.
