Argument Thread OOC Future Tech Only

[Otagia]

Depending how you define fall, if it's in a stable orbit it could be argued to fall an infinite distance (disregarding disruptions to orbit and the heat death of the universe).

[YellowApple]

We could also open up some glue factories...

I think it's been long enough to let this one out again...


DIE IN THE FIRES OF INDUSTRY!

Anyway, back on a relevant topic for the sake of sparing this thread from the inevitable domination of the pony thread war machine bred in Sugarcube Corner / Carousel Boutique...

No.
Stopping them falling is where it gets problematic.

Dropship like War-hammer 40k style.

Well, ideally, you wouldn't want your dropship to literally drop; that's a good sign that something's gone horribly, horribly wrong.

That being said, it would be based on how much kinetic energy the soldier is experiencing versus how much kinetic energy the soldier can safely withstand. That's completely up to you.

[Our Most Resplendent Goddess Sen]

most of you have acceleration compensators of some sort so just stick them in your drop pod and drop (more like fire) the thing at the highest velocity the (hilariously overbuilt) drop pod itself can withstand

this may or may not lead to relativistic kinetic kill drop pods depending on tech

[Kreanoltha]

Yeah, as long as you have a sufficiently powerful inertial dampener and the pod doesn't crush, you can drop it as far and as fast as you'd like.

Also, I have supersoldiers standing by in the event of a pony attack.

The space ponies wish you luck as they shatter the Fourth Wall and destroy the universe in a rather meta way.

Hehe. We will follow you through the fourth wall and retrieve the meta heart to repair the damage to this universe. We will also take our writer and make sure hew writes pony-free stories.

I'm so meta that I'll send the Meta to kill you all.

I think you're having an "inconceivable" moment.

I consulted Pinkie Pie and she agrees.

It was a pun. Meta, the term, and Meta, the bat shit insane super soldier from Red vs Blue.

Ah. I haven't watched RvB in years, so I'm not familiar with the newer characters/plot.

The first two minutes of this are about all you need to know about the guy.

I reach out with the Admin-granted powers of the Original Poster and stop the incursion of the Pony Wars Silliness dead in its tracks.

Back on topic now.

Very good Bal! Now, I propose we catalog the differences between future tech and far future tech.

Let's not.

I believe the pony discussion had already ended, since the train of thought shifted to Red vs. Blue.

Nonetheless, agreed.

Proposed question for discussion: alien geometries. Useful? Rational? An Eldrich Abomination of the architectural realm?

I'm planning on referencing bizarre geometries as one of the results of an FTL jump gone wrong, with wormholes pointing to different doors of the same room at bizarre angles.

FT: Magic justified with sciency-sounding terms.

Far FT: Magic justified with somewhat fewer sciency-sounding terms.

A part of my Nation, the Glitch Type, is absolutely full of them. On a note that may or may not be related, I've very rarely RPed in the Glitch Type. The whole point is that it's so extreme as to be almost incomprehensible, which means I can't describe it properly in writing, anything I write is just a pale shadow of the 'real' thing.

There are videos on Youtube of people doing weird stuff in Portal 2's level editor which might be good for ideas.

Do it. If you hadn't noticed, all the cool kids have cosmic horror elements. Do you want to be one of the cool kids?

You should listen to this man. Nothing he ever has a hand in ever goes wrong. :3

*sees Mekanta*

I don't know what's more insulting.

That you forget me enough that you think the danger will pass or that you forget my tentacles stretch faster than you run.

It's usually once I don't have a hand in it anymore that it goes south.

Namely by forgetting my password and not logging in, getting overloaded by work and not logging in, or seeing something shiny out of the corner of my eye and not finis

[Balrogga]

It is good to see you again Mek.

Reth and I were planning on causing some trouble soon, once he gets a chance away from classes.

You could be the third in a Triumvirate of Terror...
