I was referring to myself in the third person. After fact checking my railgun knowledge, it turned out I was wrong reality had changed, thereby making my completely correct assumption outdated.

A long while back, when I was but a wee lad, I created my own set of wanky materials called the Vitruvides. One was a black metalloid called Tenebrium (it held the world's sharpest edge), and was quite similar to how you describe Arcturium.


Lord of the Rings has Mythril
Star Wars has Phrik
Star Trek has ablative armour made of Tritanium... i think
Marvel Universe:
Wolverine has Adamantium
Captain Amuhrikah has Proto-Adamantium
Wonder Woman has Amazonium
Vistora had Tenebrium
We have Arcturium.

I'll go change arcturium's number and make it a little more realistic

Now, now. Everyone gets their due notice for sudden amendments to reality. You need to check your mail more often, clearly.

No, no no nonono. I have long abandoned the Vitruvides. Only RealStuffTM for me.

Also, I think Auricium and Acheronis share some made-up gaseous element.

Plasma arc furnaces. We could smelt arcturium with that. But forging gets a little too difficult.
What if we could forge arcturium with nothing but machine power?

This is only an issue if you roleplay it badly, honestly. I wouldn't worry about it.

Every encounter with the anti-wank Vistora drives one closer to wanking. It's a vicious cycle.

To be honest none of this is worth any shits until we actually RP it.

Not true. One can be realistic just for the sake of it.

I'd like to RP with all fairness possible.

Fairness makes for good quality RPs.

All the "wank" in my arsenal makes my nation stand out from other nations.

...given the sheer abundance of wanky hyper-mega-ultra space empires, no, your wank does not particularly stand out.

Depends on the power, duration, and frequency of the laser, as well as the metal. I believe Exobrit knows of an excellent website to calculate such stats based on a number of inputs. It becomes less accurate the larger you go, as it doesn't account for ablative gas, but for your purposes it should work very well. I'll see if I can find it.

Making a flag that represents a post-modern city of sub-aquatic conquerors with lovecraftian psionics is proving surprisingly difficult.
