[OOC Board] Eternal Galaxy: Phoenix

...well then.

well I stand by the notion that everything is fine if you need it.

because considering the Void and Nihiliods as the balancing factor... I guess there's nothing to really worry about...

@Cucoo

I told you it was really tiny for its capabilities. :p

The reason why it has so much firepower is the fact that it has a twin-layered design. With both the top and bottom shell, there is a combined total of two (possibly highly illegal :p) engines, two antimatter reactors (subject to change), two shield generators, two floors lined with enough ordinance to make a fleet admiral jealous, a cargo bay/ship hangar, and a command center/cockpit.

Due to its storage methods, it can hold a lot of munitions, and due to many of the generators/machines sharing floors, there is a lot of room on the ship, meaning that the ship itself doesn't have to be large. It's compact, yet deadly.

Something tells me that if something went wrong on that ship, whoever is on it would be fucked

I'm not going to think on it too hard at this time of night.

If you need it, run with it.

@Cucoo

How so?

Do you mean the engines, reactors, or antimatter cannon?

Also, instead of keeping an ammo count, it would be more accurate to say "mass count". This is because all of the ordinance on the ship is stored as digital information. Because of this, the mass can simply be programmed to act like or become something else. This means that the mass of the gauss cannon bullets can be adjusted depending on how much mass is in reserve, or elements can be converted to other elements with some programming. This also means that the ship is lighter, but if need be, it may or may not be able to alter the density of its hull at the cost of its mass reserves. This might seem overpowered, but surely this tech would exist with how fast our technology is improving, right? At least the ship doesn't take advantage of quantum superposition, being in two places at once. :p

Edit: Oh, I see what you edited. Ok. Besides, Ethan even has a couple remarks about his ship.

"Yea, too bad I blew all my money on a nice ship."
"Nice things cost money."

For me, after playing War Thunder which is a rare game that advocates some sort of realistic damage model with its vehicles, I look at that and go "I wonder how it would perform with some sort of battle damage?"

And having been blown up a few times in a tank having my ammo reserves shot, losing tail control on a bomber, and what have you... I start to check myself on that front thinking on worst case scenarios.

Anyway, on the topic of would the tech exist...
the answer is maybe.
I mean, I'm using the technology lull excuse to cover up for any shortcomings in Venturia and I would even use it for anything else. I don't know what exists out there but all I know is that everything has faults and if the theory of order and chaos, destruction and creation hold true for this reality, I would think there would be times when things sort of start over to a degree. I'm one to think that technology doesn't advance linearly. I think it takes a very winding road in the ultra long term.

@Cucoo

Hmm... I suppose that could be true, like with the case of the Dark Ages. I think it could go both ways, depending on the outcome of war/disasters. After all, some of our greatest scientific breakthroughs were military projects that were then concerted for civilian use. Ultrasound and sonar is one such example. Of course there is a chance for shtuff to really hit the fan. When that happens, you get the Dark Ages.

Anyways, my only explanation for Ethan's tech is that there was a second group of humans that didn't follow to Venturia. They went to another galaxy for a time, and after a couple eons, they decided to meet with their other humans, only to find that they were long gone. These particular humans had a couple wars, but thankfully they weren't as bad as the War of Eternity. ;p

Despite their wars and conflicts, they still managed to get by, much like today. Because of there being few if any lulls, they were able to flourish.

I like to think that the humans that wound up in Venturia didn't do so voluntarily.

Anyway thats fine for the most part.

I was thinking along the lines that there was more than one group evacuating the Milky Way.

I forgot. What was the Milky Way's fate again? How did it "die"?

Earth was destroyed.
I never defined how
But I'm thinking of this plot twist where it was Nihiliods.

"Damn bugs." :p

I think that quote is from Starship Troopers, but I'm not sure.

Either way, the humans high tailed it out of there and didn't go with the others, instead opting to head off in another direction. Perhaps it was to increase humanity's chances of survival.

Now, why do you think they would have come to Venturia? Should there be a secret reason why?

Maybe we can somehow tie this in with the plot.

What are your thoughts?
