@North so are they zombie beetles then!? This is looking like a more and more screwed up section of the galaxy than the Romulans bargained for

4. Two orbital rounds land critical hits on the Wanderer, causing it to crash land in the shallows of a nearby lake. Don't worry, most of the important characters and the one primitive are among the survivors.

Just so you know, in general, orbital bombardment rounds are more likely to behave as radiation-less nukes than conventional missiles/artillery shells. Then again, I'm not very familiar with your dropships and perhaps it would take two nukes to destroy one.

The rounds were one meter railgun bolts. I assumed they would work like high-power naval shells or high speed anti-armor missiles.

It's a nuke when it's just "dropped". I'm accelerating them to Mach 10+ before they enter the atmosphere. That would make them more potent than a nuke.

But that's not what I had my issue with. My issue is with your usage of my Valkyries. Only three should have intercepted you. Also, your factbook states that the dropship only has .50 cal gatling coil guns, not heavy autorails. I'd change that detail in your IC post if I were you.

I read "eight Valkyries" somewhere and I thought my dropships had autorails (let's be real autocoils are basically the same thing).

My bad, I'll fix it ASAP.

EDIT: Fixed. Made the necessary changes, changed the Aesir casualties to one Valkyrie shot down and one damaged (instead of two shot down), and edited the specifics of how the Lockhead was shot down to match orbital bombardment descriptions.

There are eight Valkyries carrying Berserkers about to drop from the AFS Volklang. That's where that number came from.

They're actually not the same thing. They're very different. Their only similarities are that they are guns which use magnets to propel a projectile. Coil guns basically have the entire barrel as one electromagnet which the projectile doesn't touch while it's getting accelerated to a standard of Mach 4. The rail gun uses a rail of magnets where the projectile completes the circuit as it's going down the barrel, utilizing the magnetic field generated to be propelled to a standard of Mach 10. Thus why I chose rail gun technology. Coil guns are practically silent when firing though, so I gave my snipers coil gun rifles for that stealth element. Rail guns are some of the loudest things you'll ever hear.

Ah. Probably should have armed my ship with autorails instead then.

Fuck it, the ship crashed in a lake already so it's neither here nor there. I'll make sure to change it if we have a space battle where the Wanderer-class is relevant.

Zombie Beatles? No.

Much worse.

if nukes can kill it, im not concerned

They're wraiths!

Got any qualms about my latest IC post, Ashton?

No. Just really busy right now. I'll make a dope-ass post as soon as I can.

Hopefully sooner than later because I just got off work and am itching for some good RP time.

@Laurentus When do you think you'll feel up to writing a post for these medieval primitives?

Give me like an hour. I'll cook something up.

Hour heard. I'll occupy myself in the meantime.

Well, I gave you something, Ara.
