I do agree that ships cant just fly into the atmosphere of any planet.. it wouldn't work.
Now crafts like fighters and possibly frigates could still land at planets without problems. Heh, maybbe Ed can come up with a solution for gravity

Hehe, you think your soo funny..
I just cant imagin a magnet (albeit a super powered one) be able to keep a several million ton vessel from crashing into the planetary body...

If you read one of my wes hansek posts, he deals with the issue.
Basically, this is what I did for a past project:
Ships cannot enter atmosphere unless they're trans-atmospheric ships. Ships that travel the galaxy and what not are shipped to orbiting space-stations in parts and built up there.
Then in this RPG, I have my space-stations clamp the alrge ships to rotating docks and open gates between them.

That's all fine by me. no objections on my part. (yes I know you are all thinking "megil not complaining?" Is the world coming to and end" i tell you not it is not, I jsut cannot think of any better method.
While we are on this topic, there are NO explosions in space. sure an explosions might last a few seconds while the contained oxygen feeds the fire, but once the oxygen is used up or dispersed through space there is no more explosion, meaning that an explosion wouldn't last more than a few second,a dn would not be very big.
I.E. a spaceship crashing into pluto would not burst into flames. as there is not enough fre oxygen on pluto to fuel the flames.

well, this is sort-a complicated and I odn't want to think so night
Also I will repeat my earlyer question, do individual ships have(still have?) a warp drive or what ever they are called?
Sure all this is good (expecially the explosion part.. in movies its just stupid...)

Megil, the PW does use Oxygen bombs, which are effective but expensive bombs that explode by converting frozen oxygen into gas, and therefore do may big explosions, but they don't last very long, but they are very powerful.
Soulseeker, no, ships drive a lot faster than modern day but for quick travel you use warp-gates.

oooh a second battle of the blind.
another thing I felt I should say. A laser cannot be seen unless it first strikes an object. and since space is nearly a void, that would make lasers invisible until they hit their mark, would it not. Or are we to go with sci-fi lasers taht you can actually see?
lasers:the invisible killers.

but there would be a burst of light that could be referred to as an explosion, right? and i imagine if a battlecruiser were blown up from the inside a very potent (but like you said, short) explosion would occur.
Megil Tel-Zeke
Oct 10 2005, 03:31 AM
YEs i'm not saying they can't happen at all, they are just very brief, and not as dramatic. Also there would be no concussion from the blast since that would require the compression of matter, and there is little of that in space. so any explosion in space would not make a sounds becuase it wouldn't produce vibrations.

...anyway i need to address another thing about this rp.
1stly: planets still have atmospheres, right? they are just inhabitable so the humans live in domes. so my guess is that these atmospheres act similar to earth's, right? well on earth in order for something to fly it needs wings, and i am imagining some of these humungous cruisers being wingless ships like from star wars... thusly, i dont think one of these things could enter the atmosphere of a planet without falling like a rock. unless they had some sort of anti-gravity thing or engins pointed downwards....yeah....
2ndly: whats the year? 3000 something? wouldn't humans have found a way to make mars' air breathable by then? i mean thats a long way in the future, it seems like we would have figured something out....
Ships in Star Wars had 'Replusorlifts' whuich is just a fancy-named hover-thingy.
Thats why things like the Milenium Falcon could fly.

Purposefully, anyway, there are some statistics on the peace-fighters I believe in the character thread.
Basically, there is noly one peace-fighter PC in the RP so far, my character. he's leader, so any job under the President of the prganization is open.

DoomedOne
Oct 10 2005, 04:31 AM
Very, very different causes.
The FFA, as far as I can tell, just want to seek freedom and seperate themselves from the Government. In short, they're separatists.
The Peace-Fighters are much larger, and much more violent, but constrained in their actions. They started because of a political meltdown with the Rykar Empire, as many humans believed the war should be stoped. Archer, the founder of the Peace-Fighters, recruited all the most radical of these men and started a stop-the-war organization, but it sort of evolved into a tear-apart-the-foundations-of-the-government organization.

no need. i dont really need to know how the generator works, just what it does. in fact i encourage you to keep it complex because the designs are probably a little obove Mark and a few other characters in the Rp.

Can I take up a little thing... I was wondering how things is around cloning, cloning people mostly.
I think, at least I would have it unlegal to clone people but to clone certain parts of a person so if he gets for example cancer in his lungs he can take his cloned lungs and do a little switch
Any information about cloning Danny?
