Our Place Among the Stars (OOC/Signup/Open)

[Charmera]

Depends...
Icear rely on guerilla tactics, but are easily divided and need a good leader.
Yan rely on numbers and armour, their strength comes from unity, but their very straightforward and stubborn in their tactics.

Hm...

If, in the scenario the Icear united under one good leader, would they win?

Perhaps... there are a lot of other factors to consider...

I'm under the impression that with a race like the Icear, unification would be easier said than done

M'kay. Just want to see if they have a fighting chance.

What about those Raider Guys versus the Asura? Not the pirates, the other raider guys.

Well, obviously. But imagine how awesome it would be to have the two top Bug Races fighting each other with an equal chance.

The Gathgar would have a hard time ahead to say the least...

Exactly. The awesomeness of that war cannot be waid in words.

[Charmera]

Also, I may add a lot more races over the course of the rp, mostly to flesh out the universe more...

Well, one thing we should address at some stage is why the robots attacked humanity and then after that its really up to you.

We could come up with one or two ideas but I'm a little more interested in the society you've created. Are you going to subvert it? Well... not exactly more interested, I like shooty daka daka too.

But yeah
-Human Reble forces (Possibly the 301st and the 302nd). Terrorism, infiltration or open warfare are all possible there.
-Smugglers and Pirates. General policing and patroling. Maybe some gang busting.
-Offensive operation to annex a neutral planet for their resources.

With the set up you could do everthing from heroic to moraly ambiguious to we're the bad guys.

I would love to see an invasion of a neutral plqnet. It'll be like invading Switzerland.

[Dustain]

The difference being that the Swiss Army would only have to shoot twice and then they'd all be able to go home. Because they'd won.
The reason Switzerland is neutral is that they are uninvadeable and they don't care.

Nobody in their right mind invades the Swiss.

Even Hitler, who was on meth, ketamine, cocaine, testosterone and marijuana among others, didn't try invading them.

It would be like fighting in Afganistan if in Afganistan literally everyone was part of al-Qaeda, was a highly trained crack shot and had better infantry weapons compared to you.

Not to mention the mountains and hills and weather worse than England's.

Yeah, so the only real way to win against the Swiss is to bring a lot of Thermobaric Ordinance.

I know. I was kidding. But when I think of a neutral country with lots of resources, I think of Switzerland.

Can i have a knife?
Cause phasing, and penetrating gaze........ equal bad-ass

[In Gentem Et De Libris Scientiam]

I'm bored. What do you guys want to talk about?

Well, I could use some ideas for future arcs, battles and encounters.
Got any ideas for such? Any of the races you guys would be dying to help/fight?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Man's_War#Consu
those arseholes need to die.

[Dustain]

Ask nicely and I can make you one.

[In Gentem Et De Libris Scientiam]

yea! knife.
I'm just going to pop up behind a enemy.....
mays it be a plasma knife, please?

[New Jordslag]

We aren't fighting aanybody yet, and I doubt knives will have much effect on crazed bugs who fight only to win. Pain likely has little to no effect on them. And considering how hard it is to insta-kill with a Knife, I suggest you stick with technology that doesn't require to to get into the mandibles of the enemy. Should you still be unconvinced, remember that your character is a sniper. Stick to sniping. If anything, Snipers can actually get more insta-kills in melee then a knife can; up close, a Sniper Rifle has the potential force to literally decapitate you.

[In Gentem Et De Libris Scientiam]

ever heard of ww2 japanese sword attacks?
basically that.

[New Jordslag]

ever heard of ww2 japanese sword attacks?
basically that.

You asked for a knife, not a sword.

Oh, and Japanese style sword attacks are likely to get you killed. Remember the casualties suffered by the Japanese during WW2? Yeah, many of those were caused by foolish but brave Japanese soldiers leaping at soldiers with guns with nothing but a sword. It being a plasma sword does not increase it's range. I'm warning you, stick to sniping. These attacks will kill your character on the first mission. Knives are used in modern warfare as a last reaort weapon for a reason.

[Dustain]

yea! knife.

mays it be a plasma knife, please?

Alight, just so we're clear.
When we say "Plasma" are we talking real world energy state or are we talking magical SyFy Plasma?
Because actual real world plasma, you can't exactly make a viable blade out of it. Well, you could, you could have little plasma jets going all the way up the length of the "blade" or increase the gas pressure and voltage to extend the jet stream, but both are probably not what you have in mind.

What about Bose-Enstine condensate rounds for your railgun? Snap freeze bitches?

That would work.

On another note, is Vlad unnaturally stupid?
