Ah take it or leave it! Besides dont you have defenseless, innocent nations to be violating... like ME?

Peace

Speed of light is 300,000 km/s

Theoretically, bombarding matter with anti-leption will not reduce it into top quarks. Matters are supposed to be composed of leptons and quarks. Leptons are particles such as electrons and neutrinos. Quarks make up particles such as protons and neutrons. If you fire a position (a type of anti-lepton) at a blob of matter, it'd just go going until it hits an electron, then causes a small explosion in pairwise annihilation.

Hm, that makes it even worse.

The main problem with Ubertech is once a player is allowed to have it, everybody else wants it. Hey, it's just make believe and off to an imaginary arms race we go.

Exactly my point, much more eloquently put

Thanks

Just below 3*10^8 m/s.

It was meant to be 400'000 Km/s sorry!! Having said that, 400km/s would be more realistic, so I'm thinking I'll adopt that figure.

I do know that, but there was no way I could really say it using truly real physics. Are you one of those people who watch sci-fi programmes, writing down the technical errors to send off to the producers, and keep getting the same letter in return? jk, you're alright!.

I do know that they have achieved the results, both theoretically and experimentally, but I'm not too sure how (I have ideas but I'm probably wrong.... dont you just love tachyons... way to defeat heisenberg!). If I did know, then again, instead of writing this on my day off, I would be somewhere over the North Atlantic, taking a trip to New York to buy the NYT, because its too much of a hassle to walk down to the shops!

OK, I concede that (I'm not too experienced with RP), even on my third day of being active here, Drogue goes and declares war on me! (or at least the guy behind Drogue, all these alias's are too confusing).

I will redesign the ships to have something of a more contemporary feel. Still going to have some nice toys to play with, but advanced to a realistic level within my lifetime.

STOP THE WAR!!!
