The Rimworld Wars (OOC/FT/Closed)

[Cyborgs and Sentient Machines]

I believe that would depend on what kind of shielding the ships use.

I think so, asks it would depend on the shield type and how much the ship weighs.

I don't see what the ship mass has to do with it, but let's assume both ships have equal strength shields.

[Cyborgs and Sentient Machines]

Also do Algric Alpha and Beta have shields protecting them from orbital bombardment?

Not the planet, but urban areas are protected by the Bane of Weapons. Also...ODPs and all my forces.

So the ODPs are just geostationary and concentrated above urban areas and military facilities?
Or are they across the equator etc spread out?

Ok, why are you asking?

Most likely the constant pressure of such large objects pushing into eachother would instantly overload the shields, atleast, if the shield type would attempt to block the other ship. Basically rape happens. *nods*

Before the two ships collide, each ships shields collide, so when the shields meet, you think they would both break?

95% sure of that. Unless y'know, wankery happens.

Innermost ODPs are geosync. The higher they are in orbit, the less bound they are. Most would be mobile.

Are they concentrated or spread out?

[Taigawa]

Are they concentrated or spread out?

That depends on how many there are and how important the world is to the Ecumene.

Innermost ODPs are geosync. The higher they are in orbit, the less bound they are. Most would be mobile.

If they were very mobile they would be classified as ships, so how mobile is "mobile"?
I imagined them to only be mobile enough to aim.

Can I have a strait answer please?

Those that are not bound to space elevators can move and aim, but not at the same scale as our ships. They have to match planetary rotaion after all and aim their main weapons.

If I sound rude, I'm sorry and it is unintentional.

I'd just like to know if the ODPs are dispersed or concentrated.

[Vektra]

I'm just wondering about ship ramming.
Would the shield of the 2 ships involved in the ramming negate each other.

Mmmm. I've always been the type of person who thinks shields work depending on the incoming projectile speed. That means, if you decide to ram against an enemy ship, you would be slow compared to a missile, torpedo or a blaster bolt, so the shields would be ignorated. I believe that must be like that, since if not, boarding parties would be impossible, and one of the funniest thinks on space warfare, is the use of boarding parties

[Taigawa]

Again it depends on how many there are. A colony-world will geosync an ODP over their major cities first, prioritising any city that houses a space elevator. After this, any additional ODPs spread out as more are built.

Yes, so you slow down to board, but what if you were going at the same speed as a torpedo, or what if a torpedo had a shield?
Oh and Tiagawa do ODPs have shields?

They do. Hardlight barriers at the same strength as the Planet-Breakers.

Will the ODPs be spread out to cover the whole planet, or will they be grouped together above important areas to cover and protect each other?

Again it depends on how many there are. A colony-world will geosync an ODP over their major cities first, prioritising any city that houses a space elevator. After this, any additional ODPs spread out as more are built.

Thank you for clarifying, so I presume there are clusters of ODPs over important areas.

Yes. The inner-most ones at least. Some would spread out to fill in gaps.

I only carry out boarding actions when shields are down, just to be safe.

[Farledor]

Gee! Good thing Agric Beta isn't involved in any horrible war right no-

Also do Algric Alpha and Beta have shields protecting them from orbital bombardment?

Get into the nearest bunkers.

Jokes aside should we all be expecting the same orbital bombardment as Nova Rimworld received? If so, I somewhat look forward to writing about how uncomfortable it is to fight in hazmat gear. Theeen again I guess crucial points like cities would have shields, thus not making them radioactive wastelands...Well, either way, nukes for all!

That's would interesting, as fighting in a radioactive wasteland is diffcult given the environment it has created.....anyway I have a probe on Agric Beta I could send it to you if you want

Well, the team on Agric Beta is about to interact with the Halvatia Wehrmacht, up to you!
So much diplomacy, I don't know if I can handle backstabbing so many people! I mean, I'll happily interact with your probe.

*prepares drones dual .50 HEAP machine guns* try it.....any way once I get a reply form Halvatia I'll send it you way
