Since Wilson is being a butt as usual, he said that as a few nations lack energy-shielding, or something to block AM, making it relatively easy to take them out with AM.

Also, this really didn't make any sense.

"Said that as a few"
what?

And how does me being a butt relate to the power or capabilities of AM weapons?
Should I develop AM weapons? Shields? More weapons?

Speaking of which, this Battle of First Contact is certainly an eye-opener. Plasma, railguns, shields, and that means there will be a competition age for WEAPONS and SHIELDS.

Holy poop!

That didn't make any sense, you are a butt also. A big one. See, as a co-GM, you need to be much more professional than us butts. Much more, and calling someone a butt is just saying that you are as well. You were picked by KeyGuy for a higher purpose, so you must be professional, and prove him that he was right, that you are indeed a professional and worthy co-GM.

And I consider questioning everything a trait worthy of earning the description, 'butt.'

Magic.

Science is in everything... or at least limits. Who says Faust won't be like the other half-dozen or so Star Empire reboots/whatever and give one of the superdupers that was conveniently on a certain ship in some scenario and intervene by giving power or protection or something. I don't have supernatural support.

Wait...

Holy poop in a bottle, I DO, don't I?!

And make them better, even use psionics or something. After all, Hunters don't have hands, so tele-movingstuffwithmind would certainly be useful!

Why would antimatter weapons render a specific nation's shipbuilding approach less effective?@Alien When I get around to my next post, I'll throw something your way.

Perhaps, ASTA, you could stop questioning every single thing. This isn't exactly an advanced roleplay, and someone walking around in a room questioning every thing that isn't fully explained would make everyone pretty annoying, I think. Unless it's fine to question everything that isn't already explained, in which I'd like to know how everyone's shields work and their capabilities and ability to defend against particle beams, masses of missiles, or any other weapons. And the thickness of armor and what its made out of. ANd how. and um... the weapons everyone has, and what it might specialize against, and also how magic works.

That's a big question, how does magic work?!

There is a massive difference between what I have presented as a tactic and what you are interpretting as the tacticMy plan isn't to steamroll such nations, its to convince them the hives can steam roll them so that the L'Er can extort them. And coming in with a weapon which may very well render their entire approach to shipbuilding less effective and thus requiring them to either discover, if undiscovered, or at least implement the technology into their ships, a time consuming task, will contribute massively to such a goalSimply put, the best victory is one where you don't have to fight.

I have neither shields nor EMPs, nor a large military force, and my one ship is combating half a dozen L'Er ships. Making an enemy think they cannot win goes a long way, but that advantage has already been lost since the Explorer just blew up one ship with minimal damage. And, I have reinforcements inbound. The only trouble is that if the L'Er gets to the planet surface, it's over for that planet.

Perhaps the attack capabilities are not as effective, or they are easier to destroy, since they can take over an entire planet so easily?

EDIT: Also, I await your post.

the galactic center has lots of suns.

good place for photon harvesting.

photons= pure energy

photons + Valkians competing to make best harvester = lots and lots of power

photon reactors would be cool, if there was a way to store photons.

Quite simply put, a nation which has lower technological prowess, military strength and/or economic power when compared to the other nations, or nations which would be relatively easy to defeat compared to the other nations in the galaxyGiven there's a fair amount of anti-matter floating around, the Valkian military could be considered this as they don't use shielding, meaning anti-matter bombs and anti-matter beams would be very, very threatening to them and until such a time they integrate shields into their ships, they would have difficulty stopping such an aggressor (Though even with shielding stopping anti-matter weapons is not an easy task for any one, I would assume)
