Depths of Space (OOC, OPEN, FT)

[Xyndia]

But that would be like, as a nation, building nothing but ICBM silos. If you wanted to be non-agressive, it would make more sense to have a fleet of no-FTL mosquito ships and a couple of orbital stations to defend them with, not 8-9 ships that could wipe out all life on a planet from the other side of the galaxy if they wanted to. (Yes, the torpedos would take time to get there, but a planet can't change it velocity.)

Have you seen the region i exist in? im used to having to compensate a lot, im leaving out what i use against my neighbors, but the torpedos are mostly used as a last resort weapon, and also my eargoth and forgir class only have one or two onboard, they rely heavily on plasma cannons to do their work

Okay, then. But they're still horrifically overpowered. Especially if you've got any form of FTL scanning.

Also add to that the fact my people try to avoid armed conflict if possible.

So Vorrin just revealed the Azyrian Empire's expansion policy:
get out, and if you hurt us too bad, we murder your entire species (unless it escapes beyond our territory to the point we don't care).

Of course. Because the moment anyone else knows you've got FTL torpedos, they start constructing rkvs as a deterrent. Within twenty years no-one can do anything without the threat of losing everything. You get the cold war in space and, until you get some kind of anti-RKV tripwire, it isn't going to end any time soon.

[Aterrian Union]

No one knows what weapons we have...

[The Moscow Metro Red Line]

I have the perfect solution to solve this problem, just change the name to really fast torpedoes. Also depending on the shields being used, the torpedo may just explode onto the shields. FTL (Faster than Light), is pretty darn fast. I mean, to put it into perspective it takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds for light to reach us from the Sun. Light travels at 300,000 kilometers a second. That is pretty fast for me and you're telling me you have something faster than that. That's pretty scary.

[The Orson Empire]

Just so you guys know, I have decided to increase the Covenant's population to 13 trillion and the strength of the Covenant military to 50 billion.

[The Moscow Metro Red Line]

How many systems do you control out of curiosity?

no i have a heavy version, but i stated their faster than normal torpedos, not that i have something faster. but i do have a stealth ship, lightly armed compared to my dreadnaughts, but fast, manueverable and able to cloak

[The Moscow Metro Red Line]

The point is change the name to torpedoes. FTL implies something else.

[Aterrian Union]

Anyone ever thought of 1000ft long dark-energy torpedoes? I think they would do the job nicely!

[Xyndia]

changed the name

Aterrian, I know you like being the shady arms dealer that sells to both sides of the conflict for laughs and giggles. But this is really not the best time for that. Also I am really curious, did you ever read 1984?

Also Xyinda, I meant just change it to Plasma torpedoes or something. Remove the word FTL from the word and that will solve this issue.

yes I did! It was too bad Winston got sent to Room 101.

We've been at war with the Ostians for years. You know, strangely, I haven't read it. You'd think that would have been something my Kansas Freshmen Highschool English class would try to push. They did Ayn Rand and Animal Farm, you'd think that it would be last, but no. Instead, it was Night by Eli Weisel, a good book.

[Aterrian Union]

I read Night too. Concentration camps are terrible indeed...

[Xyndia]

so is my app good to go?

I'm sorry what? We've been at war?

Also, I was just checking because I don't think Orwell's 1984 was meant as a template for governments to follow. Just worried about you...

We are a democracy dangit!

I'll be fine and Spindle will probably be fine if you just remove the one little word, FTL, from your torpedo description. I mean halibut, one of my civies used to have stealth torpedoes.

That would be Oceania, Eastasia and Eurasia which are the nations of Orwell. He wrote pretty depressing but interesting books.

LOL we have a political party called INGSOC
