Looking back over it, 6,000 crew seems waaaaay too much for an 800 m ship unless it's a lot wider or taller than it is long.

It's the maximum capacity for crew, not the usual amount. I think you can fit that many people in a 900-meter long ship if you wanted to.

In any case, a Victory-class Star Destroyer, which is about the same size, has a standard crew of 5,110.

May I start using element zero for my weapons, tech and ships yet? But the lower technologies that won't give me an edge over anyone else.

Bump

I literally asked you a question regarding your question the post before you.

I'm finding it hard to find with cursory Google searches how Element Zero is used in weapons, tech, etc.

You have any help with explaining how eezo is used, other than for FTL drives?

You went with turbolasers!?  You're not messing around!  The D'Deridex class is going to need some major refitting if the Tal Shiar finds out about those things...

@taulover, am I in? I just didn't see a direct response to this so I was just wondering.

Oh, sorry tau. Usually I can see when a new reply is posted before I post mine, but it sometimes fails. I hadn't realised you had answered.

Yeah, I found out a lot about the way element zero is used in weaponry. I'll append a link in an edit of this post later.

In other news, I've added my history and culture factbooks. I'd love to hear all your thoughts on it.

Here is an interesting article commenting on the viability of Mass Effect tech. http://www.nowgamer.com/mass-effect-3-5-ways-it-messes-with-science/

Apparently the way Mass Effect fields work, evoke rail guns.

I'll edit this again with the ship tech later

I might have meant laser cannon in some of those places. Not completely sure.

Of course.

Kk just didn't know

Also, I gave you the coordinates, just to let you know.

I've edited my previous post.

I just have my tech left for my factbook.

What do you think of mine thus far, Aragonn?

Looking pretty good. I like that backstory.

And my massive factbook is finally finished. Only took me a few days...

* Aragonn collapses from exhaustion

Edit: I noticed some things wrong when I read through it again. It's all fixed up now.

Updated the important imperial figures section as well as fixed a couple consistency errors in the rest of the factbook.  Overall I'd estimate that it's 60% complete. 

Meanwhile, I have barely done any work on my factbook.
