The Fallen Enemies of Our Destiny (OOC Open)

[Tracian Empire]

The battlestars are designed to fight against foes with numerical superiority. Don't get close to my Dual Point Defense Batteries, or you'll learn what a flak field is.

Ow. But don't worry, the Strangers will be far off. Due to how little value I have for my mens lives, I am going to attempt to warp a ton of them in a crate directly into your ship. I wanna see what happens, hopefully a big explosion.

Please define the word warp. Star Trek warp? Warhammer 40k warp?

[Drakorvanyia]

I wonder if the zero like creatures would ally with the bronze... they arn't very smart so it wouldn't take much.

As natural recyclers, friendly relations with the Bronze would probably be highly sought after by the Drathians.

[Tracian Empire]

I'm curious, how well protected are the main guns on Battlestars? How easily can they be disabled?

Well.

First of all, they are protected by the ship's shield. Then, they are also made from Varanium. It's true that once the main shield would be gone, the main guns would be a little vulnerable, but the flak field of the secondary guns, the Dual Point Defense Batteries, is enough to compensate for this.

So, say if the heavy particle cannons from an Alliance Avalon-class battleships, how many shots would it require to disable the guns? Assume that they are being specifically targeted and the shields are down.

[Tracian Empire]

Ignore this

It depends on the rate of fire. How fast can the particle cannons fire?

If they would target a specific primary battery, with no other defenses, I would say that two shots can destroy one, depending on where. There are some parts of a primary battery more vulnerable then the other.

Bending space. I haven't watched much Star Trek, but it isn't like Warhammer 40k. It would seem as if they are teleporting, I would assume, and it would of course disturb the fabric of reality around them.

Well, the Star Trek warp isn't like that. It's more like of a big acceleration.

What you have seems to be somehow similar to my FTL drives. Which are:

FTL is an abbreviation for Faster-Than-Light. The term refers to a means of interstellar propulsion. A common shorthand term for FTL travel is "jumping", as this space-folding drive involves making instantaneous "jumps" across vast distances in space.

The technology behind FTL systems is such that, providing the relevant data is known (how that data is acquired, for instance how ships can determine what obstacles are present at their destination, despite never having traveled there before, is not knownships can jump with a high degree of accuracy, allowing ships to rendezvous in space and even "park" in a synchronous orbit directly above a given point on a planet's surface . Proper FTL use even enables vessels to arrive in crowded areas, such as the middle of an asteroid field or other ships, without the risk of collision and damage . What happens if a ship jumps to the same point at the same time as another ship, or jumps to a point occupied by another ship, is unknown.

The triple heavy particle cannons can fire every 2-3 seconds. For each turret.

Yes, the Bronze eat everything so they are useful for clearing out sectors that have things that need to be cleared before inhabiting, only problem with the Bronze is that they will quite literally eat planets down to the core if it doesn't get turned into a breeding ground.... or if there is diplomacy, until it hits slightly into the surface.

The triple heavy particle cannons can fire every 2-3 seconds. For each turret.

Still, the Dual Point Defense Turrets would be able to stop a large part of the attacks. Depending on more factors, of course.

You would need a couple of shots to destroy a primary battery.

How would a flak gun stop a particle beam?

[Empire of the Rising Moon]

So I shall send a small Bronze hive to one of the Acrunai systems in Andromedia and one, maybe two to the Drathian Fylkirate systems.

[Drakorvanyia]

So I shall send a small Bronze hive to one of the Acrunai systems in Andromedia and one, maybe two to the Drathian Fylkirate systems.

Go right ahead. Perhaps the Drathians can learn from the Bronze and use that inspiration to further adapt themselves.

[Empire of the Rising Moon]

Alright, be wary though, until the Bronze attack it is hard to distinguish them from a regular asteroid. One of the advantages of using Asteroids as hives/ships.

Will definitely be fascinating.

[The Gonzen Corrective]

Are you using FTL drives or not?

Ehh... It's complicated.
We have Strangers, which were developed by the Governesses by genetic material found in residue on the walls of a relic from the homeworld. They are sort of like psykers in Warhammer 40k, engineered to basically function as a massive throbbing lump of flesh, brain an odd organs that doubles as an FTL drive which functions similarly to your own. They cost massive amounts of biomass, and due to the fact that not even our engineers can understand how Strangers function we are for the most part unable to create more creatures with their abilities (For now.), and they are poorly assimilated into the hiveminds, with the highest degree of individuality among any Zektan sub-species. There is usually 1 per ship, though large craft require small groups of them. They are amazingly powerful assets, especially since they don't have to be on a ship to transport it, allowing them to attempt to transport men directly to the ground, though we use the word attempt since they sometimes end up half way into the ground.

Hives, huh? Inter-species Hivemind anyone?

[Acruan]

Sure. Can't promise a quick answer though. On my way to class.

I want inter species hives... I can even help you, connect. Because who would try to stop tge creation of hives of creatures pay cybernetic part organic

Hives, huh? Inter-species Hivemind anyone?

Interesting, although it wouldn't be hard to trick the Bronze as I based them on ant hierarchy. So the easiest way to trick them would be to mimic their telepathy and pretend to be a queen as the Bronze will help other Bronze Hives. Just a suggestion.

They sound very similar to the Zektan in their ant-ness, though in ant colonies Queens don't actually rule anything, just make babies. They are, in fact, true hiveminds, much like ourselves. Well, should you find us, I would be happy to create some hybrid super-hivemind fleets of death.

How would a flak gun stop a particle beam?

I'm calling them flak guns because I don't know how else to call them. They are more advanced then the BSG ones.

They aren't only firing conventional things, if I can call the like that. It's firing a particle beam first, usually in order to weaken the shield, and only then it fires the conventional thingy. Of course, they're launched almost in the same time, with the particles fist. The Defense batteries are doing the same thing, just with a smaller amount and a higher fire rate.

That's..

So, my FTL drives are basically folding the space between the ship and its target. The Psykers from 40k are using the dimension known as Warp to travel. Which one is it?
