You told me it's impossible to back up the idea that solar systems with stars that have gone nova still have their systems largely in tact. I just pointed you to 3 identified Super Nova's that have transpired in the last 300 years that you could go look at their solar systems, right this second.A supernova is a release of energy and radiation -- not fire and gasoline, bruh. It's not a Michael Bay explosion.

Nothing there mentions anything about intact planetoids surrounding those stars.

And yes, radiation. To the point that sitting at the edge of our solar system when it went nova would kill you from the neutrios. They are inconceivably powerful. Our star going nova would be brighter than a nuke exploding right next to your eyeball.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN_16043 Super Nova's that can be seen with rudimentary telescopes are visible AT LEAST every hundred years.

Is this supposed to be relevant in some way?

Theodorable said There have been identified stars that went super nova and their respective solar systems are still largely intact.

...can you back that up, by any chance? Because that's pretty damn unlikely. Bordering on impossible. Like to the degree that I suspect you don't know what a supernova actually does, or how big it is, or how much power is involved.

Turn in a dwarf, go into super nova. Following the rules of physics, a whole lot of things are not feasable, like FTL for example.

FTL is an acceptable break from reality because without it the plot is heavily restricted. Just because we selectively ignore the feasibility of some things doesn't mean you get to just toss out the whole lot.

Theodorable said Xaxl, are you the one with the civilization that breathes Chlorine?

Yes?

Well, the Crayven and the Graal are in a Cold War, so the Graal would send advisers, weapons and money to any pro-Graal factions that exist. Pro-Graal would be adherence to ruthlessness, militarism and xenocentrism.

What exactly does "xenocentrism" mean?

Would anyone be interested in having their nation having a minor or prominent pro-Graal faction in it's government?

What does that entail, exactly?

Mmmmwell...The thing is I went on somewhere in my NS about how when my Great War went last phase things became quite ridiculous with the last AI, Zuhlo, winning through destroying entire solar systems or through casually deploying weapons of ridiculous size and scope. While not exactly 'Halo rings of doom' to wipe out all life in the galaxy, it's still a pretty damn huge step.I think this would be 'Acceptable' considering the fact that it's locked away in a pandora box no one ever wants to see open, but I'd still require opinion(s) if its too OP as shit to be even there.

Blowing up solar systems is bullshit IMO. I don't care if its "locked up", if you have the capability to do that, you're way too powerful.

Well Asuras, I wasn't sure if my nation would count as a 1 or a 2. Mind taking a quick look at the history to tell me which one it is and if it would be on the level of a 1, if you like it or if I should nerf it?

Tier 1 civilizations are Forerunner-level. They're the guys who build artificial planets, wipe out stars, that sort of thing. Realistically, nobody here should be playing a Tier 1.

I dunno quite how the distances will work out, but if the Prosperity Sphere ends up being too close the CSoE will probably be devoting a chunk of resources towards throwing waves of cheaply-equipped soldiers at the bots. Maybe have a human cloning program going on to take advantage of their programming; that'd be suitably "grey" of the Nera.
