Beyond Alpha Centauri:::: Discussion Thread 4

[Lonestar]

Just posted a rather wordy ...uh..post. Among other things, it derided "Organic" technology.

[Frankychan]

ack!!!

Sovereign!!!-My fault! I've been looking for the University logo and just recently found it. Don't worry, I'll update the Hive relations page! Once again, sorry!

Mr. President-Good to have you back! I like the "Death Knight" name, sounds catchy! Thanks, I'll be sure and apply it when I'm constructing the Bree background. Thanks!

[Lonestar]

Franky! Check your PMs!

You might want to set up a auto-notifyer thingie..

[Mellian]

*reads all of the posts, and sighs...and tired too...not sure what to say exactly, without people misunderstanding or plainly ignore most of what she says*

1. way things are, BAC is failing and won't last as long as CC. why? UNSTRUCTURED and UNSTABLE. who fault? everyone. no real set of rules...and even the ones that are stated, people "ignore" them or "forget". There is lack of communication, yes... and some people using the "ignore" option way to often. For now bloody on, i am sticking to PM, because a lot of the story related stuff i say is ignored and forgotten in the discussion thread. I personally will not answer a question i have already answered before or the answer is plainly obvious. if you can see it or realize it, I am not responsible. I may as well just create a FAQ thread for BAC/TA/Pirates/etc.

2. I would think people would of realized that i was being sarcastic and making a point when i done 'whoa oh oh oh, look at....' Sure i made one SINGLE direct insult, but I am being indirectly insulted for everytime i have to answer the same question i already answered before, when people obviously either ignored or forgotten easilly of the answer or what i said before, when people people say i am not communicating i when i bloody do and do ask what people think, when i am sometimes not included in some discussions that does happen to relate to TA/TAF/Pirates/and so on, when people plainly don't see the obvious, when people makes assumptions of what i say, when people exaggerate what i say, when people put words in my mouth (i never called anyone stupid here), when people don't seem to realize what virtual tone i am using and when try to use happy faces to emphasize the emotion i get ask to tone it down, being 'attacked' left and right for everything i posted in the story , datalinks and sometimes here...sometime as far as to every single detail (sorrrry if i didn't mention Pre-Sentient Algorithm in the 'script'), not pay attention to details i do mention, and few others things i can't think of right now, as i am dead tired.

3. concernign being attacked left and right... the point i am making is I personally not being anal concerning the Temple, spartan soldiers capabilities, and so on... just the hypocrisy anoys me... I can't have advantages and everyone elses factions can? phhhttt I know Sprayber didn't say anything about spartan soldiers being undefeatable, just other people like Prez emphisizing that... and so on.

4. Sprayber, i mean DESTROY a Warlock, and have said that in various ways several times. Yes, i Know you had a rough time. I have posted my plans, and ask right here in the discussion thread(s)... so don't blame me if people don't bother to read those posts and not took the chance to say something. anyway, will use strictly private messaging concerning that, because Discussion thread doesn't work to well.

4. It was one bloody freaking case where one single Terran BC personally took 13 torpedoe hits before destruction in the battle of Capella... No where did i say it takes that many to destroy a BC. I suggest people to READ PROPERLLY. was also to emphasize a point concerning the BC...not to make them seem invincible.

5. Right now, it is only TAF ground forces that uses Biometal...none are use yet for ship construction. Biometal is not being fully use mainly because TAF doesn't know how to replicate it...only the Scions do and they only agreed to make ground units out of biometal on Pluto. also, biometal not for trade and for to be stolen.

6. Cyber, when i say strict security, it involves Telepathy, Cybernetics, scanners of all sort, psychology, strict datalink protocols which isn't connected to any public area and etc to prevent spies/infiltrators to use telepathy, cybernetics, and so on to get in. Also, before i get attacks on this, it is not "invincible", full proof.... very hard and currently no infiltrators... anyway, thats DIRECT Spying... it is possible to get some indirect intelligence information of TAF movements (not all of them) and so on by infiltrating the members and so on.

7. As for the Pirates, well, it has been posted... and just one Warlock!!! ONE!!! and just one Drone Convoy, ONE!!! NOT THE END OF THE BLOODY UNIVERSE or FOR YOUR RESPECTIVE FACTIONS. Warlock was also not alone just to say, had escorts..and it was said in the script that the warlock wasn't alone...missed that detail i see. As for boosting up escorts after that Novan/Wolverine capture of Drone merchat cruiser is fine with me, as it is a natural response, but doesn't me it is full proof and still possible for Pirates to strike somewhere else.

8. oh, people, don't patronize me

9. if i miss anything else, well, to bad, me tired... will post response to Kessel tommorrow. Oh, and if you people don't want me to participate, fine, vote on it and I will leave.

[Mellian]

another point, I am against overdose of technology trading.

if one is making a point or whatever from their Faction's point of view, then use In-Character (IC) before you say it. That way, i don't confuse you the Player and your faction.

I don't start OT wars, just people who attack me does.

Hey Sovereign, nice post. Was that a response to my own expository on Organic Tech and Quantum Mechanics?

[Sovereign]

Hehe Lonestar

Great minds think alike, eh?

well, was it?

[Sovereign]

Well Lonestar,

I was planning on introducing Quantum stuff, since it has been, what, 200 or 300 years since we invented fusion power

University has had tacyon weapons for almost 130 years now, and surely in 130 years something new has to be developed, including Plasma Shards on the Prometheus. I honestly think if we keep our technology confined to BAC's original restrictions, we'd be in a Dark Age, or something. However, University is exactly the opposite of the Dark Ages.

University doesn't focus on war and the military readiness as much as Sparta, GHE and Believers, luxurious economy like the Morganites, and not so concerned about enviroment like the Gaians. University is purely devoted to research, and maintaining a stable Technocracy, as well as having the best infrastructure possible. However, University is more than capable to react to war with its ships and robotic units. They can improvise new weapons and use them in war.


Anyways, I was planning on introducing the Quantum stuff, later like 2705 or so, but u kinda made me jump the gun

It makes sense for University to keep proceeding through the "tech tree" while the other factions are deeply mired and engaged in their wars and what-not, using up resources and stuff.

By the way, Protectorate does the same thing, research and maintain an military. Correct me if I'm wrong, Lonestar

I guess University and Protectorate are alike in a lot of ways.

[GeneralTacticus]

I don't see anything wrong with the idea of developing Quantum Power (as long as it doesn't give the UCS and Protectorate too big an advantage), but I don't think that getting singularity stuff is a good idea. It allows for pretty much unlimited energy generation, and that would get judt plain silly.

[Mr. President]

Sovereign, I read your UCS thread. When you don't have a website, make this place your website!

I think I got a little over-enthusiastic in the second Drone Republic quotes section . . .

[Guardian]

Ughf...

Looks like another couple of busy weeks ahead, and I'm still light years behind the rest of you guys...

*sigh*

I'll see what I can do...

[Sprayber]

The way Sovereign is doing is ok, but I will remind you all that there is plenty of space on the main BAC page and my old site for your faction's stuff. All you have to do is to send me what you want put on there or show me where its at and I'll be more than happy to put it up for you. Both sites have more than enough room to put stuff up. Hell even the Spartan page isn't anywhere near full.


this is my old site and all that is on it now is the front page.

http://www.geocities.com/hydro070/BAC_Page.html?1006845883400

http://www.geocities.com/beyondalphacentauri/

And plenty of room on the BAC main page.


I do like the way Sovereign did his though. Very neat and concise.

[History Guy]

Hmmmm...

Lonestar & Sovereign-- Quantum Tech sounds splendid...especially if one of you decides to sell it to a certain CEO I know...

Franky-- How do you intend to respond to Morgan's hail?

Franky & Sprayber-- Aliens look good...sorta...

I mean heck! They are ugly as sin, but they look good...errr...well...you know what I mean...

What do you think about a Morgan-Gorn friendship? We did meet up with the guys, and we did get on fairly well. It might just be possible!

Sovereign-- Erm...to be honest, I don't know if there is too much to do concerning the University and Morgan. I did say that in the near future (August) Morgan would be paying a visit to the prime planet in University territory for a conference in celebration of the life of Provost Zakharov. I know that Morgan and Randius have a pact going, and there is nice trade...

Mr. President-- Great quotes! I especially like the one about the tractor...

[Sovereign]

Hey guys,

Since I haven't a clue how to make a webpage, I decided to make a whole thread for University stuff. I posted all the info from the datalinks in it, and added a ton of new info.

I included pics of my robotic units. They're called Mechanoids now.

In addition, I described Spira in a little more detail, with pics and "bio" on each of its three civilizations.

I finally posted a pic of the Academician himself!!!

I added some new stuff to the University timeline, but I spent about 6 hours, all last night with no sleep to set this up.

So new stuff will have to wait, the technology listing and current research and engineering "secret" projects, and details on the 5 other systems University owns.


Let me know what you think of my "info thread"

Laters,

Academician Randius
