Yes, but a thousand years seems a bit long. A thousand years from the galactic confrontation there should be some advancement.

After people are beaten and battered with tons of destroyed infrastructure and billions of lives lost?  Very limited advancement.

But technology would not grind to a standstill! I'm not saying that agri-science and culture shot forward to new heights, I'm saying that at least military tech would have soared (what with the cold war and the actual wars).

Which "galactic confrontation" are you guys describing? Because Wintreath as a galactic society collapsed several hundred years ago, not a thousand.

Hmm..... Then a Wintrean expedition?

Plausible. Maybe a species outside of the Wintrean control? Maybe from a different Galaxy?

Haha, no. I don't think we'll be doing anything like that in this RP.

And I just realized something. My destroyers are only 800 meters long, so to be a third of its size you would need to be 266 meters long. That's pretty small...

Its not supposed to be a tremendously large ship. Scouting missions are seen as somewhat expendable.

I work a job, play hard in War Thunder, keep my place clean, and moderate and participate in several RPs. I still find the time to read massive factbooks. Why? Because I made the time! You can do it too. You're just choosing not to.

You really ought to read my factbook and see just how outclassed your forces are compared to mine.

Like I said, vehicles do have their weaknesses. But who would try to snipe the barrel sticking out of a turret? Not many people, that's who. Takes too much skill and a little bit of luck. In the immortal words of an ancient meme, "ain't nobody got time for that!" As for your projectile penetrating the armor, there are many factors to take into account. There's projectile mass, density, shape, and velocity coupled with armor thickness, density, composition, and shape along with other factors such as weather conditions and advanced armor systems, not even mentioning shielding. There are so many factors in play that most people can't comprehend. You're lucky you're talking to an engineer fully versed in weapons and armor technologies. Or unlucky depending on your point of view. What I'm saying is that landing a penetrating shot is not a likely occurrence unless you know where to aim the shot and can get it to land there. And as for what damage it does on the inside depends on type of ammunition and its effects as well as what the internal anatomy of the vehicle and which location it penetrated in.

Perhaps you should consider using a rail of magnets to induce linear propulsion, sending the projectile to hypersonic speeds. What I'm suggesting is a railgun. It's much more efficient and propels the projectile at a higher velocity. It's what I use. As for the laser protecting the focusing lenses, those lenses should be running all through the barrel. Unless you have a barrel extension, the projectile will destroy the lenses.

An interesting decision. I hope it works out for you.

A crystal blade? Crystals have unique structures which cause them to break right apart if struck at the right angle. Are you sure you want to do that?

are you a wizard

Yeah, yeah, I get it. That's only because I have like five pieces of information about the Exodite military in total, and all of it relates to small spacecraft and basic infantry. All the adamantium armor in the galaxy won't help you once I get my forces fleshed out and I introduce the Reaper device.

I am very, very unlucky to be RPing with you. I understand the complexity of armored combat. Good thing it's mostly been rendered irrelevant by air support.

I have/will have railguns in my forces (mostly my Fleet). This is an entirely new brand of weapon altogether. The slug would be put inside the barrel extension, of course. If I was an engineer or artistically inclined I would show you schematics, but...

Hopefully it will.

Using such a weapon would require training of course. The energy field ideally would absorb most of the shock around fragile points.

The energy field wouldn't absorb any kinetic force. And the whole blade would be a weak point. It just needs to be struck juuust right...

@Aragonn, I propose an alliance.  The Romulans seem like they have good technology to plunder and the Acarians sound tasty.

The Wintreath-Aesir-Lernaea-Science-Exodite Alliance shall prevail!

Do I have to wait for a moderator to approve me before I post or am I good to go?

Aragonn is a moderator, and I'm the GM. I would prefer that you flesh out your factbook a bit before getting into the RP more heavily, but if you want, you can begin. Remember to make a map claim first, though. (I'll let you claim a bit more than 50 sectors, since everyone else has more right now... What do you think is a good number, Aragonn?)

I didn't know @xXTheHydraXx 's Lernaeans had choosen a side yet!!

Not officially, but I do have a military contract with the Aesir.

Shut up and post.

I'll post when I have others to respond to as well.

In other words, prepare to wait at least a month before being able to make your next post.
