I'm not even being remotely serious in that thread and my tech makes more sense! Good god...

What do you expect from a newbie? Hopefully, in time, he'll stop with the wank and RP more like a normal FT RPer like the rest of us.

Im not sure, my first FT RP was much better than that, if I do say so myself
EDIT: here it is

Simple solution to borders...
Seal off the bulkhead and vent that section of the ship into space.

The Boarders in question and any good squad equipped for such an action would have "space suits", either light ones they use to get aboard or full fledged battle armor with their own air supply to counter a well known tactic such as this.

Yeah, I mean... The threat of being exposed to vacuum while even en route to a boarding action is so great that at the very least they should be wearing armored space suits. Even then, it's nearly impossible to vent every section of ship "into space" considering engineering. Then, sad as it is to admit it, the Doctor has a point that venting a section of ship into space might be a bad idea on account of needing the things in side of that bulkhead. Getting into a gun fight sucks, because ricochets also suck... Not to mention, gun fights are scary and you're essentially going to be shooting around those same essential systems you don't want to vent into space. I think riot foam is one of the better ideas, because you're just encasing the bad guys in insulation. That being said... If my ships are boarded, the boatswains arm up and repel it using firearms.

Oh, go hang. Saurisia had his first iteration banned for something, and so he started a new one. He's been around the block quite a few times, IMO.

I've been around the block since 2002. His statement still makes me lol. Leave the n00b comments at the door.

OH.
I see.
I don't see -anybody's- joining date from this computer, so my apologies. How about everybody has a nice cool glass of FEELS GOOD MAN and gets back to throwing brick-notes at each-other's houses about FT matters, hm?

If I was to suddenly have my only planet blown up but my city ship* escapes would it seem uberwank if around 5 of said city ships were made by say, next week (yes im planning a RP)

*an extremely expensive ship that can function all on its own without exterior assistance

EDIT: 1 week IRL

It is certainly possible to create a nation that lives a life totally in space.
However, it is almost impossible to make this a totally self-sustaining existence. Eventually some resource or another will run dry, and you will have to replenish it.

And then that's when you swoop down and raid other people and their stuff.

You just turned an entire corridor of your ship into a tightly sealed and compact hydrogen bomb.

The rest of your post is equally invalid.



You guys don't have to like it, but UTA is actually not wrong all the time.



Now, on the actual topic of the hydrogen pumping, the problem isn't (and has never been) the hydrogen fire. That's dissipated quite rapidly (and exothermically). The issue is secondary fire. If you get things hot enough, things other than hydrogen and oxygen will start reacting, and that's a bad thing (TM). I don't pretend to know what magical chemicals II FT is obsessing over these days, but enough heat in satan's kitchen and goddamn near anything will react. The adiabatic flame temperature for H2 is something like 3500K, which is right up there around "ouch," so I'd take the "let's not play with quite THAT much fire" for 500$ please. I'd also go for the simple things like "not letting boarders get within a lightsecond in solid form," because MELT THEM FOR THE MELTING THINGS GOD is always a good decision.

This is NS FT. Orbital assault drills occur before breakfast every day.

Or, you can have the best of both worlds and just... move your star systems around like a boss. Because really, unless you're at that kind of tech level, a nomadic tribe probably shouldn't be waving its dick around.

As for the rest of the discussion, CTL+F the rest of this thread, there are better horses to beat. Some even are alive.

[Auman]

I'd imagine third world FT nations like Telros, the Morningstar Coalition and the Systems Alliance couldn't really defend against planetary assaults. Mostly because they either don't have functioning governments, fleshed out planetary infrastructure... Or planets.
