Old banner actually.

Okay, lets say the distance from Pluto to the Sun without a warp-gate is like 2 weeks, so when travelling around outside a warp-gate. Since the planets are not aligned, they're pretty scattered. When roleplaying distance, its just sort of weird to go from pluto to mars in like two minutes. So a scale of two weeks outside a gate between pluto to the sun might be good to understand the proportions for the entire solar system.

heh, sorry but I don't know the time differences, like what a day equals... 2 real days? one week?

No we don't need to to do that at all, but if you're roleplaying 2 weeks of travel, role-play two weeks, that's my suggestion.

O.o may i also note that we are in space, time varies a lot depending on where you are around the sun. O.o I guess we are still going to go by "earth" days and the like.

so do individual shis have (still have?) warpdrive or what ever its called? I think that would be easier.

i half way understand.....

anyway, what's the name of the peace orginazation fighters something or other?... i plan on making a new character.

peace fighters......

anyways i'm just makign crap up for the generator. gotta lvoe sci-fi lol you can make crap up and it still be valid.

Well, it's doesn't quite vary enough to really count it. In a story I invented with included my PVW (in the story it was called the Pereias, which Iw as going to dopy over for this game but realized the technology for my story was so advanced it'd sort of be a dumbed down version of the Pereias) I actually had it escaping a fleet of ships by diving into Jupiter, and the intense speed and gravity that it obtained (followed by a greta resistance it used to propel itself back up) and excaped the fleet by fast forwarding in time about two hours.

...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....

to answer you question, yes the planets still ahve atmospheres but few are as substantial as the earths O.o. and also few have a gravity quotient as strong as the earth correct O.o dunno im not an astrologer.

I'd still think domes would be required as the gravitational pull fo mars is nto substantial enough to maintain an atmosphere... at least I don't think so.

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

there are, they are called magnets . besides edward has enough to deal with at the moment.

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.

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.
