Dec 30, 2015 at 2:51 PM - Eistheid: As much as it is possible to make Yamatai's population 99.9% Nekovalkyrja I don't think that is the intended goal.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:51 PM - Wes: A lot of Yamatai's non-core worlds are kind of crappy places to live.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:51 PM - Sham: Well, the Raiken megacities are the only cities they have, really
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:52 PM - Sham: So they have like, 6 cities total, and low population everywhere else
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:52 PM - Eistheid: Need to invest in infrastructure.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Sham: Have to respect the land
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Eistheid: Bah, nature is overrated when you can just make more
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Sham: It's not like most of the planet is even habitable anyway
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Zack: I have been wanting to do an RP about terraforming a planet, settibg up local goverment, and generally dealing with the issues that arrive
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Sham: I think 33% of the planet is a dead zone to start with
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Eistheid: Anywhere is habitable if you try hard enough.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Sham: True
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:54 PM - Sham: But I'm not really looking to increase the population
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:54 PM - Wes: Speaking of which, I think we should be leaving caches of emergency supplies on all the charted planets.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:54 PM - Sham: If I had 100 billion Raiken, I'd have like, 3-5 billion soldiers
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:54 PM - Wes: I mean, some ship could get stranded or something.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:55 PM - Zack: Wazu already does that! sorta.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:55 PM - Wes: Plus they've be good for PC scavengers to plunder when times are hard.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:55 PM - Sham: And poor nature
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:55 PM - Sham: I like making planets with natural beauty, not mechanical beauty
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:55 PM - Zack: The 4th would also leave stuff in deep space for emergency use.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:55 PM - Eistheid: Wasn't that what the H bunkers were for?
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:56 PM - Wes: Yeah, but I mean on -all- the worlds of SARP.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:56 PM - Wes: And not stuff like guns, but things like air supplies and food and clothing.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:56 PM - Zack: I should say: It is a good idea, and my characters think it is a good idea
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:56 PM - Sham: Your characters aren't you, generally speaking -_-
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:56 PM - Wes: Maybe a standard cargo container sized module we can just put everywhere.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:57 PM - Zack: that's why I made the distinction between my characters and me.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:57 PM - Wes: Yamatai has started something something like this with the Bisen lighthouses, but I was thinking something a little less fancy.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:58 PM - Wes: Read this for inspiration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castaway_depot
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:58 PM - Sham: Wes, why's all the rum gone.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:59 PM - Eistheid: Why would you even want Rum?
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:00 PM - Sham: It was for the reference
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:01 PM - Zack: Sham is by far the worst pirate I've ever heard of...
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:01 PM - Sham: Yep.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:02 PM - Sham: But at least you've heard of me
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:04 PM - Sham finds floating islands with CC license. Woot.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:05 PM - Arieg looks up the population of Yamatai then looks at the Sesestrans, "Maybe I should have been Chinese themed."
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:07 PM - Moogle: But then you'd get steamrolled, Arieg.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:08 PM - Moogle: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=religion:children_of_the_aether Also I made a cult.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:08 PM - Sham: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=raiconian_alliance:star_systems:imvia_roshya#emkal_roshya | Floating islands yay
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:10 PM - Arieg: Do they have a crater somewhere mog?
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:11 PM - Moogle: What? I said Children of the AETHER not children of atom
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:11 PM - Sham: Hah
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:11 PM - Moogle: That's a religion. This is a cult. Two very different things.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:12 PM - Moogle: I based mine more off the antags for Shadowrun Returns, sorta.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:12 PM - Moogle: Except with very little in common.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:21 PM - Sham: Hmm, so what's a fair size for a starships main cannon's ammo?
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:21 PM - Arieg: Spinal or turret?
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:21 PM - Sham: Turret
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:22 PM - Sham: Well actually, both, since the ship has both
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:22 PM - Arieg: Destroyer? Cruiser?
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:22 PM - Sham: I mean, the gun would be on both
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:22 PM - Sham: Well, actually, upon thought
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Arieg meant whats the size of the ship.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Sham: Destroyer
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Moogle: "Really really big"
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Arieg: I'd say 150-200mm
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Arieg: With a 500mm spinal.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Sham: I'll just write that in Mog -_-
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:24 PM - Sham: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?...ectors_of_the_alliance:star_treader_destroyer
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:24 PM - Sham: Haven't really filled anything in though
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:25 PM - Arieg: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?...:sesestran_armaments#sesestran_ship_armaments I'd make somethign akin to this and then plug and play.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:25 PM - Sham: That's why I asked about ammo
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:26 PM - Sham: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?...protectors_of_the_alliance:esyga_gauss_rounds
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:26 PM - Arieg: I'd pick a battleship round, a cruiser round, and then a light gun round.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:38 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Aaaannnd, back
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:19 PM - Eistheid: What is this and why does it exist when SAINT does?
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:21 PM - Moogle: Something tells me somebody forgot to remove it when SAINT was founded.
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:22 PM - Eistheid: It was actually recently added.
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:22 PM - Eistheid: Hence why I'm asking.
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:22 PM - Moogle: Seriously? Huh.
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:23 PM - Eistheid: March 25th of this year.
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:24 PM - Eistheid: Which is recent relative to the long life of SAINT.
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:27 PM - Sham: Oh noes, NSA
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:27 PM - Moogle: Oh well. . . TIME TO SEED THE GOVERNMENT'S NEW AGENCY WITH SPIES
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:28 PM - Moogle hits random keys on his keyboard to make it look like he's hacking
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:29 PM - Moogle looks at Yamatai's banner
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:29 PM - Moogle: I never uh. . . Noticed that Kyoka was on that banner.
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:32 PM - Eistheid: Tsubei poster child.
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:01 PM - Sham: Hm
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:02 PM - Sham: What's a fair speed for a starship weapon
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:02 PM - Sham: And I don't think .4c is a fair speed
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:02 PM - Sham: Or any other large fraction the speed of light
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:03 PM - Eistheid: That depends on how far you're planning on attacking the enemy from, and how much you want to lead your shots.
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:03 PM - Zack: like a projectile? anything less than a large fraction of c is going to have a very hard time hitting the target
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:04 PM - Sham: Well, hitting a target across a solar system isn't neat
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:05 PM - Sham: I was looking at the distance from Earth to like, the moon
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:05 PM - Zack: I'd stick with missiles, (high fraction of c, otherwise you can just outrun them) lasers ( c ) or particle beams ( near c )
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:05 PM - Sham: Zack, these are Raiken.
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:06 PM - Sham: Take your running elsewhere
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:07 PM - Zack: earth to the moon is like 2 light seconds? at .4c your target has plenty of tine to get out of the way.
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:07 PM - Sham: That would be APPROX 5 seconds
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:08 PM - Zack: in that time your target has moved a few hundred thousand miles.
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:08 PM - Sham: Maybe in Yamland, where speed doesn't make sense
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:08 PM - Arieg hands out anti-ship missiles to everyone!
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:09 PM - Zack: the NBA jam announcer would be yelling 'From Downtown!' all day
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:02 PM - Nashoba: Hi Wes
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:03 PM - Wes: Hey Nashoba!
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:03 PM - Wes: Almost YE 38!!!
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:04 PM - Wes: The Poku and Raikens have cool salutes.
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:04 PM - Nashoba: Yep, or 757 CY
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:04 PM - Arieg: Or 1098 PC
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:04 PM - Sham: 451 RAC
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:05 PM - Wes: Maybe we need an excel sheet for SARP time lol
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:05 PM - Arieg: Or a SARP common calender because YE is a little short lol
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:06 PM - Arieg: Also does the explanation for billions of sesestrans in four star systems satisfy Wes?
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:10 PM - Sham wonders why Arieg wants billions >.>
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:10 PM - Arieg: It doesn't make sense considering how we Humans work when there isn't any pressure not to reproduce.
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:10 PM - Nashoba: Cannon fodder
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:10 PM - Arieg: for there not to be*
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:11 PM - Sham: lol Nash
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:12 PM - Arieg notes he doesn't really have much on Nepleslia though, that city world has something like thirty-forty billion living on it alone.
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:13 PM - Arieg: But overall SARPs populations are freaking wacky to me.
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:13 PM - Wes: I wonder how Nepleslians salute.
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:13 PM - Arieg: There should be a lot more.
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:14 PM - Nashoba: A spreadsheet would work for most, but not some. Besides when it comes to the Clan, their history page has both YE and CY, and on articles I have been creating I put both.
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:17 PM - Kirkatan: I dislike how everyone assumes Nepleslians are all the same
Dec 30, 2015 at 8:24 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Oh man- I just finished binge watching all of The Expanse. Got the space opera bug BAD guys XD
Dec 30, 2015 at 8:56 PM - Gunsight1: Whooo!
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:14 PM - Sham: GUUUUUUNY
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:20 PM - Wes: Is it good, Thad?
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:21 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Yep
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:22 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Like... the closest thing to it is the Battlestar Reboot.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:22 PM - Wes: Huh, it looks like I can watch it on the SyFy site. I know what I want to do before I get back to work lol.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:22 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: It's much harder scifi though.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:22 PM - Wes: I liked the Battlestar reboot, although I didn't finish it. I should finish it sometime.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:22 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Totally should. Skip the other related shows like Caprica however
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:23 PM - Wes: Also I got the box sets of Crest of the Stars and Banner of the Stars that I need to watch.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:23 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: The Expanse has a touch of like Firefly too in that it focuses on a lot of people on the "fringe" of society or w/e
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:23 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Never heard of it
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:23 PM - Wes: Classic space opera anime.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:23 PM - Wes: Abh are space elves, ala Nekovalkyrja
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:24 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Agg
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:24 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: hh*
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:24 PM - Wes: A warrior culture.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:24 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Unfortunately, having binged all 4 episodes of The Expanse I'm left with a taste for scifi and nothing to fill it TV show wise
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:24 PM - Wes:
Chibi salute looking so damn good.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:24 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Dawww
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:26 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I am watching Dark Matter to see if it's worth it too. It's.... well it doesn't stand up to The Expanse but it passes. Kind of has like an early 90s scifi (Andromeda/Farscape)
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:27 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: feel to it*
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:28 PM - Gunsight1: Cheebs!!
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:28 PM - Eistheid bows.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:30 PM - Wes: Did you watch the sci-fi comedy Other Space?
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:31 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Eh... to be honest comedy scifi doesn't sit well with me. Like I don't MIND it, and I like to read it, but I am not super into watching it for some reason.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:31 PM - Wes: It's got your favorite Uzbek girl, Milana Vayntrub. You may remember her from the AT&T commercials. https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/other-space.17135/
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:32 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Like I'll read hitchhiker's guide and Ready Player One (as much as that's a comedy- I dunno, I laughed) but I can't watch like Red Dwarf or Lexx (well... lexx tried to hard to be comedy)
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:32 PM - Wes: Oh. Okay. Other space is vaguely Red Dwarf like.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:33 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I'll get to them some day I'm sure.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:33 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Just a different itch it scratches.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:34 PM - Wes: OH GOD
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:35 PM - Zack: lexx was a hard watch
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:36 PM - Zack: the expanse is next on my list, IIRC there are 6 episodes out
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:36 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: That's what we were just talking about
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:37 PM - Gunsight1: Doc, if you want some good scifi to watch, if you havnt seen it, i HIGHLY suggest Babylon 5
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:37 PM - Zack: I know! you guys only talk about cool stuff when I'm out!
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:37 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I am just gonna watch it as it comes out on Scify's site
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:37 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Oh I've done Bab 5 and crusades
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:37 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: See I felt like Lexx wanted to be comedy AND serious and wasn't good at either of them.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:37 PM - Gunsight1: Ok. Cool
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:38 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I've watched like... every space opera on TV XD I'm kinda obsessed.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:38 PM - Zack: deep space 9 too?
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:38 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I actually like DS9 a LOT
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:39 PM - Gunsight1: Space Above and Beyond?
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:39 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I'm not THAT obscure I guess
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:39 PM - Zack: It is the best star trek series, but you have to actually sit and watch it in order
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:39 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: That's the same thing I say about Bab 5
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:39 PM - Gunsight1: Next Gen will always be my favorite trek series
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: You need to sit and watch because stuff that happens in the first episode effects the later stuff
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Wes:
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Gunsight1: Doc, you seen S: AAB?
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Zack: the arch traitor stanly tweedle!
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I said " I'm not THAT obscure I guess"
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I have not
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:41 PM - Gunsight1: You should. Closest thing we'll ever have to an X-Wing tv series
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:41 PM - Gunsight1: 1 season of awesomeness before Fox killed it
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:41 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: That's what kept me from watching it
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:41 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: painful when they don't have a resolution
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:41 PM - Wes: Banner of the Stars
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:42 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I am STILL pissed about the end of The Finder.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:42 PM - Wes:
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:42 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: It was a cliff hanger and everyone is dead, arrested, lost, run away, etc.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:42 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: (Well- potentially all of those)
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:42 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: (er... some of those)
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:42 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: ...and they dropped it.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:42 PM - Gunsight1: Its worth watching man. Its REALLY. Good
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:43 PM - Gunsight1: And so is Crest/Banner of the Stars
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:43 PM - Zack: I havent heard of banner of the stars. Ill have to check it out.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:43 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Looks good
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:43 PM - Wes: Fred adores the series.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:44 PM - Wes: I bought my box set on his recommendation.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:44 PM - Wes: Yamato is a classic space opera anime.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:45 PM - Zack: I saw the new battleship yamato and the live action movie
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:45 PM - Arieg honestly views Yamatai as some form of Abh Empire at this point.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:45 PM - Zack: kinda cheesy at times but a lot of fun
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:45 PM - Arieg: All that blue hair.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:45 PM - Zack: also space captain harlock, which was on netflix
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:47 PM - Arieg: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=kgr:2a62-54#projectile_and_damage_effect Muahhahahaha
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:47 PM - Gunsight1: Doc, SAAB has an awesome fighter too. The Hammerhead!
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:47 PM - Gunsight1: Love the Hammerhead :3
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:51 PM - Wes: A lot of Yamatai's non-core worlds are kind of crappy places to live.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:51 PM - Sham: Well, the Raiken megacities are the only cities they have, really
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:52 PM - Sham: So they have like, 6 cities total, and low population everywhere else
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:52 PM - Eistheid: Need to invest in infrastructure.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Sham: Have to respect the land
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Eistheid: Bah, nature is overrated when you can just make more
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Sham: It's not like most of the planet is even habitable anyway
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Zack: I have been wanting to do an RP about terraforming a planet, settibg up local goverment, and generally dealing with the issues that arrive
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Sham: I think 33% of the planet is a dead zone to start with
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Eistheid: Anywhere is habitable if you try hard enough.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:53 PM - Sham: True
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:54 PM - Sham: But I'm not really looking to increase the population
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:54 PM - Wes: Speaking of which, I think we should be leaving caches of emergency supplies on all the charted planets.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:54 PM - Sham: If I had 100 billion Raiken, I'd have like, 3-5 billion soldiers
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:54 PM - Wes: I mean, some ship could get stranded or something.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:55 PM - Zack: Wazu already does that! sorta.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:55 PM - Wes: Plus they've be good for PC scavengers to plunder when times are hard.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:55 PM - Sham: And poor nature
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:55 PM - Sham: I like making planets with natural beauty, not mechanical beauty
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:55 PM - Zack: The 4th would also leave stuff in deep space for emergency use.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:55 PM - Eistheid: Wasn't that what the H bunkers were for?
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:56 PM - Wes: Yeah, but I mean on -all- the worlds of SARP.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:56 PM - Wes: And not stuff like guns, but things like air supplies and food and clothing.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:56 PM - Zack: I should say: It is a good idea, and my characters think it is a good idea
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:56 PM - Sham: Your characters aren't you, generally speaking -_-
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:56 PM - Wes: Maybe a standard cargo container sized module we can just put everywhere.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:57 PM - Zack: that's why I made the distinction between my characters and me.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:57 PM - Wes: Yamatai has started something something like this with the Bisen lighthouses, but I was thinking something a little less fancy.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:58 PM - Wes: Read this for inspiration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castaway_depot
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:58 PM - Sham: Wes, why's all the rum gone.
Dec 30, 2015 at 2:59 PM - Eistheid: Why would you even want Rum?
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:00 PM - Sham: It was for the reference
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:01 PM - Zack: Sham is by far the worst pirate I've ever heard of...
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:01 PM - Sham: Yep.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:02 PM - Sham: But at least you've heard of me
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:04 PM - Sham finds floating islands with CC license. Woot.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:05 PM - Arieg looks up the population of Yamatai then looks at the Sesestrans, "Maybe I should have been Chinese themed."
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:07 PM - Moogle: But then you'd get steamrolled, Arieg.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:08 PM - Moogle: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=religion:children_of_the_aether Also I made a cult.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:08 PM - Sham: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=raiconian_alliance:star_systems:imvia_roshya#emkal_roshya | Floating islands yay
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:10 PM - Arieg: Do they have a crater somewhere mog?
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:11 PM - Moogle: What? I said Children of the AETHER not children of atom
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:11 PM - Sham: Hah
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:11 PM - Moogle: That's a religion. This is a cult. Two very different things.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:12 PM - Moogle: I based mine more off the antags for Shadowrun Returns, sorta.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:12 PM - Moogle: Except with very little in common.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:21 PM - Sham: Hmm, so what's a fair size for a starships main cannon's ammo?
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:21 PM - Arieg: Spinal or turret?
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:21 PM - Sham: Turret
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:22 PM - Sham: Well actually, both, since the ship has both
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:22 PM - Arieg: Destroyer? Cruiser?
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:22 PM - Sham: I mean, the gun would be on both
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:22 PM - Sham: Well, actually, upon thought
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Arieg meant whats the size of the ship.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Sham: Destroyer
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Moogle: "Really really big"
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Arieg: I'd say 150-200mm
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Arieg: With a 500mm spinal.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:23 PM - Sham: I'll just write that in Mog -_-
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:24 PM - Sham: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?...ectors_of_the_alliance:star_treader_destroyer
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:24 PM - Sham: Haven't really filled anything in though
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:25 PM - Arieg: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?...:sesestran_armaments#sesestran_ship_armaments I'd make somethign akin to this and then plug and play.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:25 PM - Sham: That's why I asked about ammo
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:26 PM - Sham: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?...protectors_of_the_alliance:esyga_gauss_rounds
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:26 PM - Arieg: I'd pick a battleship round, a cruiser round, and then a light gun round.
Dec 30, 2015 at 3:38 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Aaaannnd, back
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:19 PM - Eistheid: What is this and why does it exist when SAINT does?
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:21 PM - Moogle: Something tells me somebody forgot to remove it when SAINT was founded.
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:22 PM - Eistheid: It was actually recently added.
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:22 PM - Eistheid: Hence why I'm asking.
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:22 PM - Moogle: Seriously? Huh.
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:23 PM - Eistheid: March 25th of this year.
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:24 PM - Eistheid: Which is recent relative to the long life of SAINT.
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:27 PM - Sham: Oh noes, NSA
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:27 PM - Moogle: Oh well. . . TIME TO SEED THE GOVERNMENT'S NEW AGENCY WITH SPIES
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:28 PM - Moogle hits random keys on his keyboard to make it look like he's hacking
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:29 PM - Moogle looks at Yamatai's banner
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:29 PM - Moogle: I never uh. . . Noticed that Kyoka was on that banner.
Dec 30, 2015 at 4:32 PM - Eistheid: Tsubei poster child.
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:01 PM - Sham: Hm
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:02 PM - Sham: What's a fair speed for a starship weapon
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:02 PM - Sham: And I don't think .4c is a fair speed
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:02 PM - Sham: Or any other large fraction the speed of light
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:03 PM - Eistheid: That depends on how far you're planning on attacking the enemy from, and how much you want to lead your shots.
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:03 PM - Zack: like a projectile? anything less than a large fraction of c is going to have a very hard time hitting the target
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:04 PM - Sham: Well, hitting a target across a solar system isn't neat
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:05 PM - Sham: I was looking at the distance from Earth to like, the moon
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:05 PM - Zack: I'd stick with missiles, (high fraction of c, otherwise you can just outrun them) lasers ( c ) or particle beams ( near c )
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:05 PM - Sham: Zack, these are Raiken.
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:06 PM - Sham: Take your running elsewhere
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:07 PM - Zack: earth to the moon is like 2 light seconds? at .4c your target has plenty of tine to get out of the way.
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:07 PM - Sham: That would be APPROX 5 seconds
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:08 PM - Zack: in that time your target has moved a few hundred thousand miles.
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:08 PM - Sham: Maybe in Yamland, where speed doesn't make sense
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:08 PM - Arieg hands out anti-ship missiles to everyone!
Dec 30, 2015 at 5:09 PM - Zack: the NBA jam announcer would be yelling 'From Downtown!' all day
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:02 PM - Nashoba: Hi Wes
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:03 PM - Wes: Hey Nashoba!
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:03 PM - Wes: Almost YE 38!!!
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:04 PM - Wes: The Poku and Raikens have cool salutes.
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:04 PM - Nashoba: Yep, or 757 CY
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:04 PM - Arieg: Or 1098 PC
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:04 PM - Sham: 451 RAC
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:05 PM - Wes: Maybe we need an excel sheet for SARP time lol
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:05 PM - Arieg: Or a SARP common calender because YE is a little short lol
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:06 PM - Arieg: Also does the explanation for billions of sesestrans in four star systems satisfy Wes?
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:10 PM - Sham wonders why Arieg wants billions >.>
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:10 PM - Arieg: It doesn't make sense considering how we Humans work when there isn't any pressure not to reproduce.
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:10 PM - Nashoba: Cannon fodder
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:10 PM - Arieg: for there not to be*
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:11 PM - Sham: lol Nash
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:12 PM - Arieg notes he doesn't really have much on Nepleslia though, that city world has something like thirty-forty billion living on it alone.
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:13 PM - Arieg: But overall SARPs populations are freaking wacky to me.
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:13 PM - Wes: I wonder how Nepleslians salute.
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:13 PM - Arieg: There should be a lot more.
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:14 PM - Nashoba: A spreadsheet would work for most, but not some. Besides when it comes to the Clan, their history page has both YE and CY, and on articles I have been creating I put both.
Dec 30, 2015 at 7:17 PM - Kirkatan: I dislike how everyone assumes Nepleslians are all the same
Dec 30, 2015 at 8:24 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Oh man- I just finished binge watching all of The Expanse. Got the space opera bug BAD guys XD
Dec 30, 2015 at 8:56 PM - Gunsight1: Whooo!
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:14 PM - Sham: GUUUUUUNY
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:20 PM - Wes: Is it good, Thad?
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:21 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Yep
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:22 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Like... the closest thing to it is the Battlestar Reboot.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:22 PM - Wes: Huh, it looks like I can watch it on the SyFy site. I know what I want to do before I get back to work lol.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:22 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: It's much harder scifi though.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:22 PM - Wes: I liked the Battlestar reboot, although I didn't finish it. I should finish it sometime.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:22 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Totally should. Skip the other related shows like Caprica however
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:23 PM - Wes: Also I got the box sets of Crest of the Stars and Banner of the Stars that I need to watch.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:23 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: The Expanse has a touch of like Firefly too in that it focuses on a lot of people on the "fringe" of society or w/e
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:23 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Never heard of it
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:23 PM - Wes: Classic space opera anime.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:23 PM - Wes: Abh are space elves, ala Nekovalkyrja
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:24 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Agg
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:24 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: hh*
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:24 PM - Wes: A warrior culture.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:24 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Unfortunately, having binged all 4 episodes of The Expanse I'm left with a taste for scifi and nothing to fill it TV show wise
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:24 PM - Wes:
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:24 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Dawww
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:26 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I am watching Dark Matter to see if it's worth it too. It's.... well it doesn't stand up to The Expanse but it passes. Kind of has like an early 90s scifi (Andromeda/Farscape)
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:27 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: feel to it*
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:28 PM - Gunsight1: Cheebs!!
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:28 PM - Eistheid bows.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:30 PM - Wes: Did you watch the sci-fi comedy Other Space?
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:31 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Eh... to be honest comedy scifi doesn't sit well with me. Like I don't MIND it, and I like to read it, but I am not super into watching it for some reason.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:31 PM - Wes: It's got your favorite Uzbek girl, Milana Vayntrub. You may remember her from the AT&T commercials. https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/other-space.17135/
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:32 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Like I'll read hitchhiker's guide and Ready Player One (as much as that's a comedy- I dunno, I laughed) but I can't watch like Red Dwarf or Lexx (well... lexx tried to hard to be comedy)
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:32 PM - Wes: Oh. Okay. Other space is vaguely Red Dwarf like.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:33 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I'll get to them some day I'm sure.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:33 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Just a different itch it scratches.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:34 PM - Wes: OH GOD
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:36 PM - Zack: the expanse is next on my list, IIRC there are 6 episodes out
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:36 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: That's what we were just talking about
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:37 PM - Gunsight1: Doc, if you want some good scifi to watch, if you havnt seen it, i HIGHLY suggest Babylon 5
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:37 PM - Zack: I know! you guys only talk about cool stuff when I'm out!
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:37 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I am just gonna watch it as it comes out on Scify's site
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:37 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Oh I've done Bab 5 and crusades
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:37 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: See I felt like Lexx wanted to be comedy AND serious and wasn't good at either of them.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:37 PM - Gunsight1: Ok. Cool
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:38 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I've watched like... every space opera on TV XD I'm kinda obsessed.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:38 PM - Zack: deep space 9 too?
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:38 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I actually like DS9 a LOT
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:39 PM - Gunsight1: Space Above and Beyond?
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:39 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I'm not THAT obscure I guess
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:39 PM - Zack: It is the best star trek series, but you have to actually sit and watch it in order
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:39 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: That's the same thing I say about Bab 5
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:39 PM - Gunsight1: Next Gen will always be my favorite trek series
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: You need to sit and watch because stuff that happens in the first episode effects the later stuff
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Wes:
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Gunsight1: Doc, you seen S: AAB?
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Zack: the arch traitor stanly tweedle!
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I said " I'm not THAT obscure I guess"
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:40 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I have not
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:41 PM - Gunsight1: You should. Closest thing we'll ever have to an X-Wing tv series
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:41 PM - Gunsight1: 1 season of awesomeness before Fox killed it
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:41 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: That's what kept me from watching it
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:41 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: painful when they don't have a resolution
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:41 PM - Wes: Banner of the Stars
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:42 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: I am STILL pissed about the end of The Finder.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:42 PM - Wes:
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:42 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: It was a cliff hanger and everyone is dead, arrested, lost, run away, etc.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:42 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: (Well- potentially all of those)
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:42 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: (er... some of those)
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:42 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: ...and they dropped it.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:42 PM - Gunsight1: Its worth watching man. Its REALLY. Good
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:43 PM - Gunsight1: And so is Crest/Banner of the Stars
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:43 PM - Zack: I havent heard of banner of the stars. Ill have to check it out.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:43 PM - Doctor Thaddeus Hemlock: Looks good
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:43 PM - Wes: Fred adores the series.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:44 PM - Wes: I bought my box set on his recommendation.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:44 PM - Wes: Yamato is a classic space opera anime.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:45 PM - Zack: I saw the new battleship yamato and the live action movie
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:45 PM - Arieg honestly views Yamatai as some form of Abh Empire at this point.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:45 PM - Zack: kinda cheesy at times but a lot of fun
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:45 PM - Arieg: All that blue hair.
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:45 PM - Zack: also space captain harlock, which was on netflix
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:47 PM - Arieg: https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=kgr:2a62-54#projectile_and_damage_effect Muahhahahaha
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:47 PM - Gunsight1: Doc, SAAB has an awesome fighter too. The Hammerhead!
Dec 30, 2015 at 9:47 PM - Gunsight1: Love the Hammerhead :3
