how was that?

Good, but it seems a bit over armed. I probably will have to jump the Thunder's weapons.

A quick pic for ya, i think alot of the horror of the image i have is lost without colour. Think horrible pale batterie farmed chicken skin, or a burns victim with veins and mottling.

Definitly creepy
Excellent work

A Word on Weapons:

Shells (Bullets): A metal slug within a shell of propellant. Common light and heavy weapon. Light to average firepower.

Plasma: A flare of ultra-heated hydrogen. Rare fighter weapon, most common Capital weapon. Average firepower.

Laser: A burst or ray of amplified light stimulated via radiation. Common light weapon, rare heavy weapon. Average to good fire power.

Rail-Guns: An accelerated explosive shell. Common heavy weapon. Good to High firepower.

Mass Driver: A super accelerated massive solid slug. Rare Super Heavy. High to Extreme firepower.

Missile: Propelled Explosive. Common light and heavy weapon, rare super heavy. Extreme to Devastating Firepower.

Le update. Still working on the name, MORDO.

The Shining Dawn: Experimental New-Age Heavy Cruiser; A breakthrough in automation and compressive chassis has made this ship the pride of The Coalition Fleet. The ship has been sent to Deneb in a desperate bid to halt the Shapers, under the command of the Tactical Strike Force.

This girl has the firepower of a small fleet, boys! Take good care of her, 'cause you have no idea how many tax-credits went into making this baby. She's the heaviest ship in the fleet, even if she don't have straight up size. 2 Super Mass-drivers, 20 Rail-guns, 60 Point Defense Guns, and 100 Typhoon Missiles. If you die on this ship, I eat my mahogany office desk. Oh, and we managed to jury rig some Yahan engine to 'er. It ain't workin' fully, but that thing can reach at least plasma speed and three times light, probably could go faster if we could fix it up anymore. Not to mention it's nearly indestructible, so it's cheap to maintain too!




SUPERSTRUCTURE: 2.0 Kilometer length, .75 Kilometer Height, .43 Kilometer Width. Armor includes Aegis Shield Generator (Capable of withstanding 4.184×1015 J of energy), and 1.5 Meters Titanium Plates, Command Deck Armored with .5 Titanium and .2 Ceramic Plates.

ARMAMENT:

2 Super mass-driver: Launches a 15 slug at 4,000 Kilometers per second. Located on bottom.

20 Rail Cannons: Launches a 400 pound explosive shell at 2,000 kilometers per hour. Ten on sides, five on top and bottom.

5 Typhoon Missile batteries, 20 each, as 200 Missiles: One stage missile; Detonate on Target, Smart or Dumb-fire. Equal to 7500 kilotons of TNT, or half The Hiroshima Bomb.

60 .30 Cal. Point Defense Guns: Spaced throughout the hull. 30 surrounding the sides, 15 on top and bottom.

INTERIOR: Two Hanger Bays (50 Fighters, 30 Bombers), Supply Deck (6 month's rations, 2 month's ammunition [Based on a full crew, 2,500 men and one hour's conflict every day.]), Mess Hall, Barracks (1,000 Soldiers Max), Training Deck, Engineering, Command Deck, Engine, and Forge Deck.

how are its shielding and armor?

See super structure.

i wouldn't worry about exact speed in hyperspace, it gets a bit confusing. Lets just say it take around five years of hyperspace travel to get from one end of the galaxy to the other. It takes significantly less ~6months if one utilises a Yahan Gate along the way.

I think that the shapers look quite..... odd.... But the shaped sound like the abominations that the reapers in Mass Effect make. If you know what they look like. And anyone know the name of this threads counter-part?

There isn't one. This is the discussion thread, and the actual thread starts after Blood-Moon.

I have a quick question, who is the techy?

shroud010.

K thanks. But wait on the roster it says he`s a medic? I`m thoroughly confused. But i also feel like i`m being annoying so dont answer that.

Odd. He must have changed it. I don't know who then.

O.o. I must find out, because I feel like I have an idea for one. I just gotta see if their is one.

Working on an idea for drop-troops. I'll get it soon.

I'm the tech. see roster (shroud's RACE was used for the ship tech in one of the space weirds stories)

3 Infiltrators
4 Soldiers
3 Demo men
1 Maimer
1 Medic (max)
1 Scientist
1 tech (max)


Then there is bunch of those E'Nathi guys..

fairly balanced numbers

(here is my character sheet for reference)

Player: ineptus astartes
Character: Tennisk Vann

Race: Vernid

Career: technician (somewhere in between infiltrator and soldier)

Equipment: vernid blastgun. Sender of Nine, laser cutter, slicer, data encryption code reader. flak vest medikit, knife.
Skills: pilot, drive, energy weapons, solid slug weapons, intimidate, tech use, long arms, speech survival, brawling, speech, powered armor. Engineering, investigate, science. (special gear: vernid blastgun)

Backstory: Born on the Vernid homeworld of Syrule, Tennisk always would be looking to the stars. He had wanted since he was a hatchling, to be able to roam the cosmos. Instead he ran his uncle’s shop, while his friends all gradually left the planet. Soon though, the Vernid had accumulated enough wealth to buy a ticket off world. He instead, stayed at home, saving even more money. When his uncle was found to be smuggling the illegal skinned E’nathi scales that some people coveted for their sheen. The shop and all of his uncles belongings were given to Tennisk. He quickly bought a small freighter and began running loads for Kommar corp. but he did not feel quite as free as he hoped. So he quit his job at Kommar and instead began gunrunning for the infamous, Duklo, a renowned Mcabrian gangster. For six years he ran the illegal pelts, drugs and guns. But when he had to drop a shipment due to a CSDF patrol boat yanking him out of jump-space and performing a inspection, Duklo threatened to have him fed to a wild zontar. Soon though the gangster was killed by rivals and the tech was out of a smuggling job. To make ends meet he joined the sector fleet. When he managed to board an enemy carrier and hacked into its systems and got it to self destruct. He was entered into the commando corps. Where he soon volunteered for this elite strike team as the technician.
Motivation: all that Ark’ik wants to do is fiddle with tech and roam the stars

Best quality: Tennisk is an easygoing tech who tens to joke about anything, but is can be as unfunny and serious as a Mcabrian when he wants to.

Worst quality: Tennisk Vann sees the Arcturans as chauvinistic, vain, self obsessing, grandiose, and pompous. And tends to distain them and rebuke them for their decadent ways

Quote: “Nothing in the galaxy is larger than the derian nebulae…save maybe an Arcturans ego.”

(note: since there are no conventional 'names' among the vernid, the vernid use the names of other races as theirs Tennisk Vann was named after a family friend, a chilcaera, who disappeared in black space on a cargo run for Kommar Korp)

Ok thanks. But what are the specs on robotics? I've seen bionics but not robotics.

Several posts deleted, if people persist in spamming the forum then they will lose their posting privileges on Dakka. If this continues to persist we will just lock or delete threads.

the exolians are robotics (they are made of mercury-like stuff)

ok guys, I noticed the warning, we should stay on topic and not talk about what is going on in our personal lives (me included)

that said, I have a question. is our mission on Deneb to retake it or evacuate it? if we evacuate, then the planet will die right?

also


Mordo, do we have any service 'droids'? like /R2-D2 or C3-P0?

Well yes, but more like robots, like droids ad you call them. For me more like walkers or suits, designed to fit lifeforms. Goin to hit the hay, but sorry about my questions. I feel thats been a bit spammish. So i`m just asking this last question.

Hash-Slinging-slasher:

the Slasher is a galactic plague, it has been abundant in the galaxy for thousands of years, and were introduced by the Sirens and exists on a multitude of worlds.

designation: Non-Sapient

weapons: bony hooks, pounces, beak.

the slasher uses it's front pair of legs to bound across any solid surface and their hooks to both climb and to hunt

standing of slightly taller than a shaper, the slashers travel in loose packs of several dozen.

they are incredibly resilient and hard to kill. not even blastguns, or lasers have been observed to penetrate their shells

they hunt using echolocation and prefer to hunt in caves, cliffs or sinkholes
