How "handwavy" is perpetual energy?

I have Blue Energy, which is some sort of a perpetual energy, discovered in some planet. It powers most of our nation, especially our space ships. It can also be used as a weapon... a very powerful one.

Well, i needed a "plot driver", but uhh...

Perpetual energy pisses on one of the most fundamental laws of the universe, conservation of energy. Of all the physical phenomena in this entire world, conservation of energy is one of the most absolute, without-a-doubt certain and immutable laws of physics. There's no way around it; perpetual energy is wank of the purest form.

How "handwavy" is perpetual energy?

Whoa

What the fuck

I'm not even been taught on physics of that level and I was absolutely petrified when I saw that sentence

Yeah. I cannot emphasize this enough; perpetual energy is easily one of the handwaviest, least realistic, most boolshyte technologies conceivable.

If you're looking for a non-handwavy source of energy, just go for hydrogen. Being the most abundant substance in the entire universe (excluding dark matter for a moment), it's so plentiful that you'll run out of it basically never.

I;ll be honest with you

Redstone, which I first made, was sakuradite containing perpetual energy basically

But you can actually talk your way out of it and say it's a SCP out of containment

Vistora, i failed you.
I'll just leave in shame now.

No, it's absolutely fine--excellent even--that you are willing to ask these questions. Most people are content to dwell in their own ignorance, but the fact that you instead are open to and actively seek input is admirable, not shameful.

Nvm, vistora's raging again

>Don't know wtf it is
>Ergo, it must be a very convenient supply of energy

[Singaporean Transhumans]

I still remember when I confused the role of cruisers for destroyers and vice versa when making my ships.

Fuck.

I just went with Half-Life's explanation on it.

Problem mofo

Problem mofo

Fair enough. The SK doesn't really have any pretenses of respectable technology anyways.

[Cumberlanda]

I think I'm caught up with all of the RP threads.

Now I wait lmao.

What did you expect

Half our science is based from HL and the other half SCP

It's like Gordon Freeman and 076-2 had a lovechild

Blue Energy
Anti-gravity generators
FTL drive (Warp drive/ wormhole generators)

Can't get any more unrealistic than that.

FTL and antigrav are pretty much acceptable applications of the Rule of Cool for FT so yeah, they're okay

[Vistora]

Blue Energy

Can't get any more unrealistic than that.

FTL is an extenuating circumstance. Realistic or not, it's an acceptable break from reality that is necessary just for FT nations to exist.

Anti-Grav is meh (in terms of realism--even I find it extremely cool), but there are a few ways one can bend the rules to reasonably handwave it.

Perpetual energy is just unnecessary for anything less than the Devourer.

EDIT: Exactly what Singy said above. FTL and Antigrav are cool, but PerpEn is not.

[The Lusitanian Federation]

Okay, so that makes Blue Energy our pink elephant blue elephant...

Plot drivers can be a lot of trouble

[Vistora]

That glorious feeling when nobody's waiting on you. The work is worth it, just for that.

Woah, wait a minute. I've been reading the factbook about Blue Energy... I didn't even mentioned Blue Energy was perpetual in the first place...
Silly me. Blue Energy ISN'T perpetual, period.

[Vistora]

Woah, wait a minute. I've been reading the factbook about Blue Energy... I didn't even mentioned Blue Energy was perpetual in the first place...

Well then, problem solved.

I need to post.

Ughhhhhhh

[The Deep City]

How do you people decide GDP?

[Ashkera]

How do you people decide GDP?
how does into economy

Most PMT nations will have a higher real GDP than their RL counterparts...

...but I still haven't added GDP to Nayba Collective because it's so difficult to compare to any existing economy.

This nation doesn't really have an RL counterpart that I could think of, so, uh.
