FAR II [FT Galaxy/Community][Open to Applications]

[Nore Empire]

Done, 60,000 civ age, 30,000 tech age!

How old are the Tarq?*Confidence in eyes.*

Old, but, as I am an OP, and asked the other OPs, it is okay.

*Cries.*Fine...

Start 'da votingz!

Adaptable Shielding, eh? Can you tell me a bit of what that is about?

[Nore Empire]

...

Where have all 'da links gone!?

Adaptable shielding is shielding that can adapt to weapons fire. They only gain resistance to them with only the capital ships being able to go furthur, though not full out invulnerability just increased resistance compared to the smaller ships.

[Nore Empire]

It's a lot less useful than you think V.V' I've had my capital ships killed by a bombard of a weapon, lol.

Hmm... not sure on how I feel about this particular bit of tech.

Well, let me show you the weaknesses. Our shields are energy based and they change frequency when they adapt, so something that could interfere with the change or a blast of weapons fire at the right time could stop the adaption or even damage the ship/shield generator or make the technology back fire and change to a frequency that actually makes their shields more vulnerable to that particular weapon. Our ships have shield generators put in sectors so it isn't one generator or even one shield, it is multiple shields put together so they would just have a weak spot in their shield, this was developed after a battle where the adaptable shielding tech's weaknesses were taken advantage of in an extreme way. All ships had to be replaced or modified extensivly and if they find a weakness to the current set up then they will have to put out a skeleton crew around important systems[very small] and every other system will be open to attack.

Either way, there is still a massive weakness if you take advantage of the weaknesses of the adaptable shielding tech.

Then if you watched Star Trek and saw my mentions of taking the Adaptable Shielding from the Borg[though we just made a lesser version] you would know its weakness, energy weapons that change frequency were used against The Borg to counteract their adaptable shielding. This can be used for personal shielding[still in development] as well. The tech wasn't ACTUALLY taken from The Borg, they don't exist here, I just mean the general idea.

Except no one uses energy weapons unless you count heat as a weapon.

Why does no one use energy weapons? They are so effective on energy-based shielding it is ridiculous, especially energy weapons that can change frequency.

[Nore Empire]

Simply changing how fast your projectile weapons fire or what ammunition/projectile weapon you use could render the adaption useless and have to start the process all over again.

[Transoxthraxia]

Because they aren't good for what's under the shields, if I remember correctly, and it is extremely expensive to arm a ship with more than one armament.

I base my tech off of Star Trek mostly, so, uhm...*Coughs.*Is that gonna be an issue, do I have to change that? I like my Phaser-like tech!

I'm pretty sure spaceships can have more than one weapon as standard.

Doesn't stop them from being more expensive than a single weapon one.

Okay, then I don't have to change my energy weapon-based ships! Most people use energy weapons anyways, so, uhm, I think my photon lasers and other lasers are otay!

[Nore Empire]

It doesn't. But none of my starships have just one weapon, ESPECIALLY capital ships. Even fighters have two, though usually no more than two lasers/ballistic cannons or weapons of some kind.

I think we, on the last FAR, rated lasers as the absolute worst armament you can give someone, ever. But go ahead!

What should I go with as a standard...Photon, Positon, Ion, or some other type of particle-based laser?

Don't ask my opinion on lasers, because you will, one hundred percent of the time, receive a cynical answer. Sorry.

Eh? Lasers are okay... Well gamma ray lazers are at least.

What about Neodymium glass lasers? They can put out terawats and megajouls of power in modern times...not sure if they could be used in a weapon though.

[Abiraclya]

So what are good/popular weapons?

Their ratio of damage:expense, as well as cost:use is irrationally high.

[Caecuser]

So what are good/popular weapons?

Missiles. Basically missiles.

[Nore Empire]

I think it would be interesting to get away from the massive scale RP of FAR and go for a smaller one-world character-based RP. I hope you look at it and give me some tips on rules, the plot and other stuff! It could even intertwine with FAR II, which would be cool. It would be a mini-series in FAR II if accepted and take place on a world ruled by humans, here is the link!(It would be a character-based RP placed inside of FAR II though not interfering with the actual galactic events of FAR II). If it is not accepted as part of FAR II I think you would still be interested in it! Trans told me to bring it up with 'da council, anyways, link below!
