Chaotic Systems - Planning Options

well gun powder won't ignite in space, since there is no oxygen available. and we will say there is an antimagnetic coating around the gun,as well as a very small field of influence.

I think Shogun was talking about smallarms.

Like handguns, rifle, etc.

I think the normal handguns are such would be normal gunpowder ones. No sense in making it magnetic if it doesn't need it.

I drew a picture of "The Peregrine Warrior" but it's not quite good enough to scan yet. You'll all see it soon.

I am not sure ont eh whole gun thing, but since the entire thing takes place in space It would make sense to have even small guns be amphibious for both atmospheric and void situations. Like fussy and lone were fighting on the surface of pluto was my understanding, a normal gun wouldn' fire becuase pluto does not have a significat atmosphere and no oxygen.

remember megil that everything takes place in domes which have working ecosystems, and therefore have 21% oxygen.

Unless you;re in a space0suit on the surface outside the dombs that is, or outside a space-ship.

since when does everything take place in domes? If an invading rikar army where to attack a planet, would humans sit there and wait until the spaceship docked onto the domes, before opening fire?

wow, nice connection there Megil,

Edward heard the door open behind him in the dorm,  he lay down his book, on it's cover were the words A mystery Unleashed.  It was an old text, dated to the year 2005.

[Megil Tel-Zeke]

You would be royally painted if fighting in normal space. A rock bgoing the normal bullet speed in space would cut through a normal spacesuit like tissue paper, along with the flesh of the suit's occupant.

A guy in a armored suit, with a magnetic gun (which, essentially is a railgun) would be even worse off. Low manuevability, with guns that'd put a round clean through you. If it didn't kill you outright, the decompression and cold of space would.

And the force would send you flying across the planet's low-gravity surface.

And if the Rikar attacked the humans would use their ships. If those were destroyed, then yes, they would have to wait.

i'll be back in like ten minutes; I need a shower.

arg, I wont be on the computer much tommorrow, I have to work at some stupid Bbq...

[DoomedOne]

Not everything takes placve in domes, but all cities are in domes, so if you're not in your space-ship or in a dome then you're in a space-suit. Read the intro, he says that all the planets have been colonized by living in domes. He exactly are you going to terraform a gas planet? The only two planets I can see where they wouldn't live in domes are mars and earth, earth is a waste-land and mars would be freezing most of the time.

Hm I don't really care, I won't be using guns. ^ 6 you guys can decide what the cartridges are made of.

Edwards research will lead to some very accidental discoveries.

if Ed hangs out with Rann much, he just might be using a gun once or twice.

wanna play tic-tac-toe?

LOL OMG great post Doomed

Very true dantrag. O.o

[gamer10]

They are (the F.F.A.) a very underfunded orginization.

And maybe a little stupid . . .

[Megil Tel-Zeke]

but why aparachute O.o it's deep space, youd have better luck just jumping from one to the other without a parachute, and it would suck if yo umissed a you will have nothing to stop yourself with.

[Dantrag]

yeah, seeing as there is no wind resistance in space, it wouldn't work.

and besides that, the HDF has 100 ships; you have one.

EDIT: whatever, we'll let it fly for now.

This is a really rough sketch but you get the Idea, in it's re-entry form it's like a pointy egg, otherwise it's like this: http://artpad.art.com/gallery/?io0za8153yuw
