Who needs diplomacy when you have star destroyers?
Seriously though, I agree. I haven't come across many of them with my FT nation.

Would shooting matter into it in a controlled fashion, such as two carefully aimed particle beams fired in opposite directions right at the edge the event horizon work?
Would this allow one to utilize a blackhole that is as small as possible to generate power via the rotating magnetic field and the thermal radiation generated by it as the black hole then anhilates the matter being put in?
Could the exact frequencies, ( such as visible light on upto whatever one can harness the energy into effectively and efficiently ), be controlled via the size of the black hole?
Could the gravity (and potentially the heat) from the blackhole, however it is contained, also be used with antigravity fields to generate a secondary fusion reaction in order to also harness that aspect of the blackhole?
Would it also be possible to flash to hydrogen and helium in the outer secondary reaction for even increased power generation (albiet in short periodic bursts)?

Military or some sort of combat occurs because more stuff is happening and allows for cool stuff like a squad of power armor soldiers racing across the hull of a starship, possibly while the starship is falling out of orbit.

*Sigh* I know. But some of us just have to rise through the ranks to get to those types of Roleplays. So for now, it's military action. Which is getting rather repetitive.

There are no ranks. I am confident that a competent RPer will be admitted to most "open" RPs.
FT isn't a good example of this because of the highly regional (therefore closed) nature of the RPs.

Regional isn't quite the right word. There are very few RP regions in FT, unlike MT. The closed nature of threads is due to them typically being organised OOCly beforehand between participants, either through IRC or TGs.
As JLE said, a cursory glance at what open FT threads there are typically shows them devolving into invasions/combat in short order regardless of the intent of the OP. This happens for a variety of reasons I can hypothesise, but the end result is pretty consistent. Closed (or semi-closed) threads stop this from happening. It's unfortunate, and I do wish there was a larger amount of Open threads to participate in, but I can understand why why.

Okay here it goes.
Mckendree Cylinders:
My nation would be a spacefaring people that mostly resides in ftl capable mobile mckendree cylinders with land area equal to a terestrial planet. Each would have five layers of rotating habitats, organized into two sets of counter rotating sections, all surrounded by a outer multikilometer thick armoured shell. Attached to this behemoth would be massive inertialess drives, ftl engines, defensive weapon emplacements, defensive shields, and countermeasures, and massive antimatter drives. Powering it would be massive fusion reactors ( some as big as twenty kilometers in diameter), massive folding ( approximately 60 the legth of the station, folds for ftl transit ) 90% efficient full em spectrum solar collector arrays/ cooling vanes, with the equipment to collect fuel from stars nebulas etc..
Each would be capable of building starships, cityships, and oniel cylinders, with heavy industry, hanger space, shipyards, and massive cargo capacity. Each would have two massive internal wormhole generators for transfer of materials and cargo ( point to point transit between two generators, intense gravity prevents activation, ala blockholes ), more on that later.

But seeing as I'm small, most will think that I'm not competent. Even though I am a puppet.

Canuck, those three groups were going to collapse anyway. Everyone there told you that it wasnt your fault because it wasnt your fault.

It would have helped if you had not insulted the the people helping you. But those threads did not collapse because of you I cannot stress that enough.
Also who is this Alidina your talking about my name is in the conner and I signed it as Ali, a stereotypical arabian name that matches my arabian esque nation. Interestingly enough I only got back from an arabian country 24 post ago and a few weeks.
