I mean, if you want a bunch of giant ships, go ahead. It doesn't mean that it's better, of course.

I think my ships might be the smallest ones, considering that Aragonn's are already pretty small and his destroyer is the same size as my battleship.

It's not his ship size, it's his tech. Weapons, shields, armor....I've never seen armor that can resist plasma. Ever. Why? Because metal conducts heat rather than resist it. And you can forget about insulating materials because plasma burns so hot that any insulation will melt or burn. I also have a problem with his solar Lance having a 20 second burst then only a 5 second recharge time! What kind of capacitor and reactor are you packing, Zemas?!

On the note of my ships, I view them as being long but not very tall and not very wide. Kinda like a massive armored dildo ready to rape any enemy ship it comes into battle with.

The Solar Lance isn't even on any vehicles yet XD.  Also, it'll have to get through shields too. The only things planned to have solar lances is the AT-AW and the Aetherius.

Please don't penetrate into my ships.

Damn straight it still has to get through shields! But nerf that recharge time hard. Seriously.

Don't worry, we don't ram unless we're critically damaged.

The timing was something I was considering when I was writing it... It kinda makes it hard because sometimes stuff looks faster than it really is in games/movies. I'll change it to 40 seconds.

Oh, I was addressing the above ship length discussion with North et al.

And yeah, plasma weapons themselves aren't inherently OP (depending on who you ask, Star Wars energy weapons may be plasma-based), but in this case, they need to be nerfed.

The thing about plasma is that it has a tendency to disperse and cool into gas, so it can't really stick around and keep burning. It also melts through metal, especially really dense metals, a lot slower than it would a person. So given the dispersment, cooling time, and burn rate, personal armor is only going to be able to protect against one hit in a spot if any. That spot will then be open for attack with any kind of weapon, essentially being a huge weak spot.

Could someone check the numbers on my factbook to see if they make sense? I'm basing my stuff off Star Wars stats, but I still want to make sure they're fine.

I'm debating on whether or not to apply for House Valeria just yet (I don't know how)... I could circumvent the soft-ban!

*xXTheHydraXx laughs evilly.

Speaking of which, @BraveSirRobin, you can list your house as Valeria. Democracy has decided.

@xXTheHydraXx, you are welcome to join too.

But don't expect favourable treatment. If anything, the bridge of trust built between us will just make it easier to destroy all the other Valerians at some point.

I think Aragonn and tau know better than to trust me too.

As I mentioned previously, I don't know how/where.

If you weren't plotting everyone's demise, you'd make a great addition to the team.

Your specialty is getting others to fight amongst themselves, essentially having them weakening themselves. My specialty is using force to beat the piss out of everyone. tau's specialty is using science to develop new and better technologies. Together, we would dominate the galaxy.

Yeah I don't know where that setting is, either... does Wintermoot have to mask you?

Danke Schön! I've gotten it then!

"Schön" didn't need a capital there, Robin.

Also, I'm assuming the fact that no one commented on my military and tech portion means that all is in order? If so, I think I'm done for the time being. I'll add the rest as it becomes relevant.

I haven't had the time to look at it yet. I'll look at it soon.

I think your stuff looks good, tau.  Nothing out of the ordinary in the quick glance that I had at your stuff.  I'm going to have to seriously modify some of my strategies in the next week to sort of counter the heavy-heavy-heavy mindset most empires.  The easiest way to do that though, of course, would be to make a heavy command cruiser myself... which I might do, if I don't have much time to think of a strategy in the next week capable of using rapid speed and overwhelming shots to exploit the inevitable weaknesses of the gigantic ships of the various empires.  I probably have much longer than that though, because I'm so far away from everyone right now, but you never know.
