I intend on making an app, but I'm annoyed the player list doesn't have links.

My fleet is very simple to understand. Flying armor with mass-accelerator-gun-batteries attached to it, with smaller ships to support if needed. Lots of small-to-medium-mass-accelerators, with the most heaviest being fitted on capital-grade-hulls. Expect hails of slugs to be aimed at you. That's all you need to know.

Heavy, slow-moving, significantly better armor than my vessels, but probably slower? More or less equal firepower? Or do you think the edge there would be more on my side thanks to the more diverse loadout of Thaelic ships? How's electronics looking? Since the Path believe that wide use of technology is a threat and AI's are death itself I suppose the electronics edge would be on my end?

That's a good question. Let's quickly do a history lesson. Way back when, the engineers and scientists of the Church found themselves with a big issue. They had no sort of AI that could aid them in calculations or simulations, the stuff that you need to progress your nation's scientific progress. But the Church did have a lot of psionic-gifted-people. After some 20 or so years of research, they managed to create a machine that was essentially a computer that linked up psionic-lads to process data. So, today, the Path has no form of electronics. The Path has been using psionic-machines in place of electronics. Yet, there's a issue. Like electronic-warfare is to electronics, other psychics can disrupt psionic-machines. So, ye, you would have total power over me in terms of electronics, but there's the caveat.
As for load-outs, Path ships use a mixture of mass-accelerators and missiles. Mostly mass-accelerators, although the Path often uses swarm-missiles en-mass to overwhelm ships. As for equal or more firepower. I don't know. The Path Starfleets is good at sustained-fire and suppression with long-drawn-combat allowing them to keep on the pressure.

That would be interesting, though it seems the Rainmakers were more interested in Robotics than the Overseers. Maybe a smaller scale War in Heaven from Warhammer 40k happened (i.e. One side of evil robots fight a race that has mastery over biology and makes races as foot soldiers)?

I am reminded of Stellaris now, Flesh is weak vs gene tailoring, ie synthetic ascension vs biological ascension.

The Conclave does make some use of Psionics, but would most likely be a combination of spiritualists and materialists to a point.
>Psionics
Aww, my SF is now soft. Why can't it be hard?

Well, i mean, it was said in the fourth post here, third by the OP that this is Light Sci Fi and 'Psionics are a go.'
Besides, is it really too far fetched that there could be races who are capable of harnessing psionic/telepathic abilities?

The weird thing about soft SF is people overdusing lasers. Why not just wear a thin layer of glass to deflect the lasers or put reflective coatings on your ships.
Also large ships are very tactically stupid, since even marine ships got scaled down since we figured out it's bad idea. It has lots of guns, sure , and more volume for less material, but it's a much larger target.

For soft Sci-Fi I like using railguns that fire plasma as my go-to "pew pew" weapon.
