Into the Void (FT/Nation/OOC/Closed)

[The Hierophancy]

Would you be interested in allying yourself with the Pact of the Divinely Inspired? After we work out the kinks in our official treaty, mayhaps we could invite you. Help to establish Human supremacy over the galaxy. Hell, you can probably even keep your little xeno buddies so long as they remain within your borders.

You rejected robots that ultimately like humanity, I don't think accepting xenos can be allowed. Certainly not by me anyway.

These robots are much worse than xenos - they are engineered and purposeful corruptions, in this case of the Holy Form and Genome itself. A handful of subservient xeno slave races is tolerable, at least by the Coalition - let them labor for the Cause before their eventual death and descent into the netherworld. Plus, we need more allies, and though fanaticism is great and all it won't be of much help should the entire Concordat come-a-knocking. I say that, so long as he supports the cause and acknowledges these filthy xenos as an inferior race, we allow him to keep them as cute little pets or something.

[Zjaum]

Anyone interested with allying with the Sovereignty? We're a rapidly-growing power in the galaxy.

We are NOT interested in joining a mega-alliance, like the Concordat or the Divine Pact. However, we do want close friends as we make grand expansions in the galaxy. We are not an offensive nation, but we are an expanding nation.

When the divine pact has 3 members and is considered a mega alliance <3

I'm already busy with 3 separate people.

Shields work in the following way. They start building up heat when energy (kinetic, light, etc) is applied to them, they all but absorb the energy (which means that yes, it'll stop bullets and rocks). Rather than transfer this heat to the suit/user directly, it's applied to the generator. The generator builds up heat, and eventually has to vent this heat (the shield 'breaks') usually the wait time is between 5 seconds (personnel/infantry) or thirty minutes (ships and bunkers) depending on tech tier and generator envelope (size of what has a shield).

Couldn't said heat be converted to energy and used to power weapons? I was going for something along those lines. While venting exists, simply shooting back your own lasers with more energy is our alternative.

I have a question regarding FTL: how fast exactly? I was thinking a few days to cross the galaxy for higher tiered civs. Correct me if I'm wrong.

So your mad at me...because I helped you?

Well, I would assume so, but you would only get that energy in small bursts, and once the shield inevitably overheats it may take take your weapons systems with it in the ensuing meltdown. Plus, you would need a whole load of hardware to convert the heat energy back into weaponized energy in the first place, and it may take a while.

Wouldn't said shields have a lack of capability to absorb heat for re-use? Seeing as by that logic, you could use the heat generated by your shields warming up to power cooling systems for them which let them absorb more heat, cool more, until you just kind of shit all over the first law of thermodynamics? Just kinda sounds like a perpetual motion machine.

Well, being somewhat tier 1 helps. The cooling system is still a must though, as I wouldn't be able to use nearly everything. It's more of a combat quirk than anything, and I think it could be useful.

Just seems sort of inefficient and unnecessary, but whatevs. Cooling systems are definitely needed though.

Maybe I didn't run it past you, or maybe I didn't respond quick enough?

I'm kinda lost here.

[Toishima]

Hope you all like your first taste of the Yamatai Imperial Navy.

I have found that I am bordering Horizon and am thus the closest to the Vikings; Olimpiada if you want those Vikings we could collaborate to get them with a cooperative expedition... Of course "GET" in both of our cases refer to widely different ideas (but ICly the Empire would go along for some other reasons I will spawn later on)

My huge location and "surrounding" shape is interesting as my draconian border policies (blocked to everyone, even to allies) could cause problems with galactic travel in that entire area, and I'm not removing what is a very important part of my national concept, so everyone can ICly bitch about how the Empire is essentially a barrier to the whole area (or is very dangerous to move through, given that moving through the space runs the risk of FTL interdiction, tripping the sensor net and bringing in a bunch of Kabekage wolfpacks).

Higher tech enables us to do things thought of as otherwise impractical more practically. Kinda like how it's now easier to make supercomputers now than it was 50 years ago (not to mention modern supercomputers are far better).

I'm just glad I didn't start using Star Wars designs, as they were my last resort to finding designs for my multiple hulls.

I'm not, the Lord Admiral is.

It won't exactly work like that. What's absorbing and transferring the energy still has the energy coursing through it. So that will still heat immeasurably.

In Vacuum that's how you get your generators to explode. Thus the use of heat sinks in most cases.

Long ago I used Space Battleship Yamato-type designs, which made my nation really unique and cool. However recently I decided the Galactic Empire itself fits my vision for Yamatai, so the Yamato-style designs are now canonically the "previous generation" ships.

I think the Yamatai Empire is a name used by another space civ on a separate role play forum.

Okay? I have no affiliation with them, if you were thinking that. It's just a not-very-original name taken wholesale from Yamataikoku, an ancient kingdom in the Japanese islands.

Interesting. Although for imperial designs, do they suffer from the same weakness as forward-firing designs, with most guns pointed towards the tip of the arrow, as well as the shape with more surface area facing the front than the rear ?

*Weakness*, in this sense that Rebel ships like the Mon-Calamansi ships being about to put out a balanced array of fire on a near 360-degree field of fire.

Name: Qadians
Description of Appearance(disregard if you have a picture
Homeworld: Fleeex I
Life Span: 800
Height: 3'4
Weight: 45
Tech Tier: Tier 2
Description:

The Qadians are a small and feeble species who evolved on a peaceful planet and never faced the threat of predators. Industrial production was always a struggle for the Qadians, however after robots were introduced the Qadians were able begin mass production. Since then Qadians have relied upon robots for all forms of labor.

GENERAL-
NS Nation Name: Licata
Nation Name: The Democratic Union of Fleeex I
Flag:
Location: Carina–Sagittarius Arm
Tech Tier: T2
Nation Type: Multi System (3)
Capital (System, Planet, City): Schwoop System, Fleeex I, Illimot Metropolis
Government type: Presidential Democracy
History:

The Democratic Union of Fleeex I formed long ago evne before the Qadians launched their first manned mission into space. The peaceful Qadians have been united for centuries, or atleast they were never not united. Nation states never formed on Fleex I, and so when it was finally proposed that the Qadians form a government all Qadians essentially agreed, a democratic government naturally formed and every 100 years a leader is elected. The nature of the Qadian government has not changed in almost 2,000 years.

The Qadians have been toiling about for most of the time that they've been navigating space. Two habitable worlds have been colonized and some 12 other planets have been claimed claimed for mining. The mass

Population: Qadians- 40 million(due to reproduction laws) Robots- 12 billion
Number of Systems (max 500 for Expansive Empires, 200 for Multi Star Nations, 1 for New arrivals and single system nations, obviously): 3
Species: Qadians, robots(various types)

---

ECONOMIC-
Ideology: Communism* (Kinda, not really)
Economy (Horrible, weak, decent, good, strong, etc): Strong*
Manufacturing(Horrible, weak, decent, good, strong, etc): Strong*
Agriculture(Horrible, weak, decent, good, strong, etc): Strong*

---

MILITARY-
Population (No more than 5% of entire population): 500 million
Branches: Planetary Defense, Fleet < Marines
Standard infantry: Robotic Infantry
Standard Infantry weapon types (Energy Based, Mass Drivers, Missile, Other): mass drivers, hand held explosives, and personal shields
Standard ship: Shmoop class corvette
Space Weapon Types(Energy Based, Mass Drivers, Missile, Other): Energy based lasers, and torpedoes
Strengths: Entirely non-organic so only power is needed to maintain the military.
Weaknesses: Ineffective military doctrines(due to extremely limited experience)

*Weakness*, in this sense that Rebel ships like the Mon-Calamansi ships being about to put out a balanced array of fire on a near 360-degree field of fire.

I replace a lot of the "phantom" weapons which are not visible on the images with similarly invisible turreted weapons in the side trenches and sides of the superstructure for a wider field, though the heaviest weapons (intended for long-range fighting), the beam lasers, are projected out of the upper superstructure, aiming forward only. Since the shape and sizes are identical, all shape-based problems remain.

However, to compensate for this I slap on even more guns, essentially by duplicating the dorsal weapons on the ventral surface (I also did this with my Yamato ships), so there is indeed an almost complete sphere of fire available, except for the very rear of the ships (the engines and behind the tower). Mass-numbers of all-range handwavium-fuelled macross-spiralling missiles would probably be used to deal with targets there.

Mon-Calamansi? ;P
