I'm not saying you aren't. I'm actually kinda glad you're using Canon as a reason, instead of thinking people will willingly turn their brains off to understand what you submit. ^_~
 
Ok, if Cora can't find anything wrong with this surely it is ready to be approved? Or is there still something preventing that in the submission?
 
So this is something that counts for STL, FTL, weaponry, shielding and communication systems all wrapped in one package?

On one hand, this sounds really powerful; I consider this an equivalent to KFY's Combined Field System, from the way you are presenting this.

On the other hand, this is like putting all your eggs in the same basket. If the system gets damage, you lose everything... right?
 
Yes to the first, sorta to the last.

Each individual system can work mostly independently of the others with a few exceptions so if the damage is done there then not all of the systems would go down.

However, all of the systems share the same negative energy/tachyon generator which either directly or indirectly provides all of the functions. If that sustains damage then the device would be completely unable to operate any of its functions.



Though I still don't understand what is keeping this from being approved.
 
The only thing keeping me from approving it is your constant bumping of it. Chill for a while until Wes can come over and ensure it's good.
 
I believe that was about giving you back your tech posting privileges, not the tech itself.
 
The entire entry about de-approving tech and receding privileges has been crossed out. There is no reason to think that for some reason the tech remains de-approved.
 
Except for the fact that I deleted my approval post, moved this back to the contributions forum, and have already stated approval had been rescinded.
 
Then may I ask why this has been unapproved? The only problem with the submission I am aware of is that people have been manufacturing drama around it.
 
POLL ADDED! Vote, people.

Let's finish this debate.
 
I'm going to vote yes, because of it's possibility for existence and usefulness. But my personal dislikes about it are the fact that it does seem to do too much for a single submission. I just think that it's a massive jump to stick IC to say that we have this Tachyon generator and all the accessories. I think it would make more sense if we stared with the generator and just one or two uses of it, then had the developer produce more as time went on.

As in I would propose approving it all at once and have the individual pieces outfitted over a long period of time as they are 'developed IC.' That is, if it isn't already set up to be like that.
 
This device was designed with all it's abilities at launch. There's no, "just energy now, other things later." They all work when this thing is activated. That's the point. Which is also the reason it's unbalanced.
 
You say it's not independent systems, then you say it is. Make up your mind please.


(You say it is for the purpose of damage calculation.... If you take a strike to this, you should lose everything, after all it's MORE EFFICIENT.... or you collect the tachyons and systems independently.... which is REDUNDANT but that's a good thing on military vehicles)

Everyone keeps on calling this "unbalanced." Unbalanced in relation to what?
The space station that can blow your balls off with an aether beam from ten light years away?
The power armor that can poof out of thin air and turn you from flesh and blood to floating atoms in under a tenth of a second?

It's an idiotic argument, considering that as Wes has stated several times in other threads, THERE IS NO BALANCE IN THIS SETTING.
Or does that only count for Yamatai?
 
Yamatai is obviously overpowered and this comes across at first as a blatant attempt at meeting the requirement to beat Yamatai.

Ironically it doesn't meet the potential described yet and can't do all of these things at once from what I can tell.


Perhaps what we should do is distabilize the technology that allows Yamatai tech to "cheat" physics in terms of the instantanious travel and Aether.


From there, the JP would become a lot fairer.
 
Nepleslia (and Elysia) has aether and can protect itself from teleportation with shield systems, so quit your bitchin'.

This topic's about the NERD.

Personally, I think it's okay except for the overlapping aether taps (shouldn't multiply the energy like Zack says).

A. Neplesia has aether in one ship, and that's from the NDI, but whether or not they have it or not is not what I'm talking about.

B. We can? I would've loved to have that information, but as the teleportation system's info was never posted anywhere, and was described only to the point of "Fuck physics, I want to go over there," it was rather unavailable to me.

I agree that Zack sometimes over-powers his stuff, however you allowed this to be approved earlier, so I don't think complaining about it now is fair. However, I'm sure you could just ask him to remove the taps or maybe water them down a bit instead of undermining several approved submissions.
