(you know...given the level of technology available to the federation, i wonder how long it would take them to build a dyson swarm around sol - all it is is a huge swarm of oversized satellites we could probably do it right now if we had space-based construction facilities - it would just take centuries with our current…
i have no idea what type of energy weapons gorn used in SFB, but in the old 90s videogames like KA or SFC, they used either phasers or disruptors - because plasma energy weapons weren't really a thing, just torpedoes or special weapons like the plasmatic pulsar device they also had really clunky rectangular hulks with big…
alex: it wioll - remember what i said about that ancient chinese proverb? if you looked it up in a book of ancient chinese proverbs, this task force would be the example picture anyway, we should settle in for the ride - we're probably going to end up going in shooting after the briefing and we jump into the system proper…
that would depend on the wording of that agreement - if someone isn't careful, they could easily sign away their right to anything created while under that license...even things that AREN"T directly related to it - though contracts that scuzzy can usually be challenged and overturned if you get a good lawyer and judge/jury…
i would rather just use battleship for my largest ship; and if i make a bigger ship over the course of a series' evolution, i'd either append heavy to it or shift the type up the only time i'd ever make up a new type is if i were doing a ship that has no matching RL type, like blizzard did with the protoss arkship
(the forum is supposed to notify you within seconds of someone posting via popup in bookmarked threads...though it doesn't always seem to work, like everything cryptic touches) *the conundrum, crimson fang and lycaon all jump to warp as well* well, we should be at the masan system in a few hours, then we can start poking…
(more than one or two posts in a 24-hour period is not 'living on the forums' - it's being decent to other waiting on you by performing an action that takes less than anywhere from 30 seconds to a couple minutes to do, depending on the amount of posts that need reading, plus an extra minute to type out any needed reply)…
exactly how big of a dreadnought do you want? because the largest of modern cruise ships is already nearly twice the length of the galaxy class, and that's classed as a battleship in videogames (not this one, of course) - you don't need much bigger or more mass for a dreadnought...which BTW, is not a real class and should…
and absolutely no one has yet to comment on the fact that the ship's doctor is a cat...i seriously hope they include a running gag of her randomly knocking medical equipment off tables the same way earth cats like knocking things off their perches
alex: not as sour, maybe, and fizz is always good - but the sourness is kind of the entire point of drinking something called LEMONade it's like if you eat lemon chicken, you expect some sourness to it in addition to the other flavours
i'm still waiting for gorn-sized banana hammocks - even though it would have to be the female version (if that even exists) since gorn have nothing down there for the hammock to cradle
spacedock is definitely one of the better star trek (and sci-fi in general) youtube channels, as is venom greek media - though most of his stuff draws from star trek EU material, so not a good source of canon info if that's all you're looking for
alex: yeah, that too - our lemonade is more like a lemon-flavoured soda than the american version, which is made with non-carbonated water, sugar and lemon juice in a far higher concentration than we use (*pulls squirtgun out and aims at rattler*)
alex: they did, but i was born in england, so the replicators here, and throughout the imperium, are programmed british style except in cases where a person of specific nationality is proprietor of a shop - i never actually bothered to look into why british and australian lemonade is clear while yank style is yellowish - i…
*the replicator whirs and a glass of lemonade appears inside it, which alex grabs and brings to dundee before taking his seat* comms, open communication with the exeter *he waits for the link to be established* krys, we're following your lead to odo - as much as this ship and the lycaon can go significantly faster, i don't…
alex: it wasn't there, and you were searching in the wrong area anyway - its berth when it was actually on earth was in antarctica *he gets to his feet and walks over to an inset replicator (hey, if kelvinprise can have them on the bridge handing out slushos, a prime 29th century timeship should have them too)* what do you…
alex: well, you kind of were - it hasn't been on earth in millions of years; and no, as these aren't electronics-based consoles, they won't fry if drink gets spilled on them, though the senior staff generally doesn't eat or drink anything here regardless (though, i'm not actually sure about that no electronics thing for…
alex: andromeda, pegasus, triangulum, m51 - we have ways into all of those, and all their various satellite galaxies and clusters as well we don't actually have a presence anywhere except andromeda though - and an outpost in pegasus on atlantis...yes, THAT atlantis
*the gamma end of the wormhole bursts open in the same azure whirlpool of chaotic energy and gravitational forces, the conundrum emerging first* alex: well, here we are: welcome to the gamma quadrant, home quadrant of the dominion and flashpoint of the hur'q crisis - we're about 70,000 lightyears from the alpha quadrant…
alex: i can think of many different things i would be thinking if this were the first wormhole i'd ever seen *he says as the ship moves through the verteron node-lined (which would be those weird string things that kind of look like high-tech fibreoptic cables, i think) tunnel of warped spacetime*
(where does a child - especially one relatively new to this galaxy, get so many STRIPS of latinum? slips i could understand, but that many strips is actually a fairly large amount for a non-native to just...have on hand) alex; well, what do you think of the bajoran wormhole? or as they like to call it, the 'celestial…
(i thought it was dying in general - nope, it was just a specific kind...and i think he'd be less worried about that kind of reaction than the OTHER reaction someone who dies via asphyxiation goes through - namely, the loss of all bladder and bowel function no reaction to the wormhole? i guarantee he's never seen anything…
