Eternal Galaxy Project

Just had a thought...

Thinking about vehicles and of course my natural fascination with aviation...
I thought of a scenario that might make Aion in Shards of Starlight a bit more interesting...
Most stories has the main character be normally the best in what he does... like Star Fox, Fox McCloud is an Ace pilot... Star Wars, Luke is an excellent X-wing Pilot... so on so forth...

...Originally I was going to say Aion was an Ace...
...But what if he wasn't...
He might be a good pilot, but when it comes to being classified as an Ace, he falls short.
In real life, a Flying Ace is a pilot with 5 confirmed kills.
Now to make it true to form in EG, I would say the requirements for being an Ace would be 5 confirmed Maverick kills. In other words, 5 kills against manned aircraft.
Doesn't seem hard because Aion flies an Interceptor (the "sniper" of aircraft in my interpretation)... But what if it is? Maybe Aion has kill's against drone pilots but no Maverick Kills.

It also set's up an interesting dynamic where Aion might be a Squadron Leader, while his wingman and best friend Joe is an Ace. Joe would technically outclass Aion in aerial combat...

simple things

Like stupidly simple

MAG -> Mobile Armored Gun
RAA -> Rolling Armored Artillery
AGP -> Armored Gun Platform
ACU -> Armored Column Unit
SAU -> Strategic Armor Unit
HAGP -> Heavy Armored Gun Platform
MBU -> Mobile Bunker Unit
MAUS -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_VIII_Maus
...yeah I'm trying to think of an acronym for MAUS

AAB-> Armored Aircraft Buster
MRAD -> Right now drawing blank on the M and R, but I remember the A and D were for Aircraft Destroyer.

@Cucoo

What do the acronyms mean?

[Cucoo5]

Ok On to something else for a change of pace

Vehicles.

In the past I touched on Cruisers and Fighters...

It's time to look at all the vehicle types that could be relevant.

So time to fill in the categories of Air, ground, and naval...

Let's start with something I don't normally do... ground vehicles...

What kind of tanks, what names could we give the tanks, etc etc.

Same for like transports and other things, like maybe even Anti-Aircraft...


Ok let's see if I can derp out something...
Acronyms actually mean something for once...

Light Tanks

Spoiler: Republic

>MAG Series:
MAG1A-F
MAG3C-R
MAG4T-U

>RAA Series:
RAA1-E1-5
RAA4-B3-6
RAA9-V7-9

Medium Tanks

Spoiler: Republic

>AGP Series:
AGP1D-4
AGP4G-2

>ACU Series:

>SAU Series:

Heavy/Super Heavy Tanks

Spoiler: Republic

>HAGP Series:

>MBU Series:

>MAUS Series:

Mobile AAA

Spoiler: Republic

>AAB Series:

>MRAD Series:

Perhaps

Even with both, Nihiliods would soon render them useless at the rate which they adapt.
It would serve as a point of futility.

So then...
MIMI is a sort of... Bioweapon perhaps? Maybe she's a special prototype that was deemed unsuccessful at first but then something came up in the results that made her relevant to further research.
But perhaps the procedure they would perform on her is... less than humane. So the moral dilemma of whether to treat her as an object or a person arises due to the way her AI is: unique and bound to that body.

[Koishi]

Actually I think it might be experiments that are trying to develop either a bioweapon against Nihiliods or trying to make a mutation to make everyone resistant to Nihiliods somehow...

Why not both? The mutation would work for those not infected, but that still leaves those who are. Make them resistant so they can't keep growing, then wipe them out with the bioweapon.

[S121]

@Cucoo

Ahh, I see.

[Cucoo5]

well...

Venturian Republic seems to dabble in... dangerous things... Especially considering the creation of the Daedalus Project. They might be trying to develop... bioweapons... of some sort.
NGO... could be a sub faction that's dealing in this...and if anything I think bioweapons might be what they're doing as well...

Actually I think it might be experiments that are trying to develop either a bioweapon against Nihiliods or trying to make a mutation to make everyone resistant to Nihiliods somehow...

...which means... MIMI might be one such experiment...

[S121]

@Cucoo

What would their motives be?

[Cucoo5]

Aye

Ok so MIMI might have been "born" from the system that most Arcains that know of it would probably despise it... So that makes it interesting as it raises the question who could be interested in this system...

Venturian Republic... NGO... Or a third party...

Ok, after shoving a fist-full of sandwich meats down my throat, I can think a little more clearly. Good to see and know that I wasn't wrong.

[Cucoo5]

Yes. If the crystal alternates it's field within a moving loop of a conductor, the loop attempts to counter the change in magnetic flux and therefore induces electric current.

@Cucoo

Ahh, I see. That makes a little bit more sense.

As for the generator, that could work. I'm still feeling a little hazy about technological stuff right now, but does it accurately portray or follow the actual principle of electromagnetic induction? (Maybe I should eat something. That always helps me think.)

[Cucoo5]

Demonarcs are further mutations caused by overexposure to excessive amounts of corlaviri. The system that performs this operation might be a sort of stasis tube thing...

And oh derp. I didn't recognize the induction part in the name at first. Ok yeah I understand what you're talking about there.
For EG I would change from magnetism to Corlaviri Harmonics.

@Cucoo

How are Demonarcs made? Also, what if it was a project to turn bioroids into true living beings?

As for the electromagnetic induction crystal generator, think of it like this:

Magnetism can be used to generate electricity via electromagnetic induction, only instead of the usual generators that use fuel, the magnetism crystal itself it the power supply AND the mechanism, due to the amount of raw power it has.

If it wasn't for my brain feeling fried right now, I could go into detail about how I imagined it could work. Give me a couple minutes to clear my head and try to give a proper explanation.

Do you understand how it works, even without the detailed explanation? The main idea was that the magnetism crystal was supposed to be placed into a modified crystal port that when the generator was engaged, these rings with tightly wound wires would surround the crystal and would spin from the crystal's magnetic field constantly cycling. It plays on the idea that the crystal's magnetic field is very strong, but not as "stationary" as a conventional magnet. Its magnetic field is constantly cycling and spinning, and because of its nature, it makes the crystal somewhat difficult to harvest as well.

Another idea would work with a stationary magnetic field, but I want to know if this is good for now.
