The Codexian Saga LP

[The Barbarian]

If the question was unanswered because of lack of intel, say so and I will cease my endless prattle.

Codexian designs are on-par with current Raumen models, and slightly behind the Hin'in.

 

[anus_pounder]

Hmmm, interesting. Too bad the Hin'in decided to rape the ramen now and all those years ago, I dare say we could have taken those merchants on and won.

I belive what DarkUnderlord is talking about is also known as Instant Runoff Voting. It's a great system:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_runoff_voting

Read it faggots.

I can also code it up in some sort of popamole javascript thing. (I build distributed databases for a living. I code. A lot.)

As for my votes:

LET US GO SOMEWHERE NEW FOR CHRIST'S SAKES

Humanity was built to explore, discover, and better themselves through that. Enough killing, enough navel gazing. LET US RECLAIM OUR DESTINY and push into new space.

and NO YOU CANNOT HAVE FTL + WORMHOLES ON A SHIP

 

[The Barbarian]

can we have a vote for a flagship fitted with twin FTL/wormhole drives and integrated cloaking/shield tech? some weapons of mass planetary destruction would be nice, too.

If you can explain the point of a ship that would cost ten times as much (just for the ship, does not include ancillary, development and logistical costs) as a standard FTL/jump drive ship (with only a marginal increase in overall effectiveness or tactical flexibility) to a budgetary review panel employed to watch every cent being spent by the armed forces... then the Barbarian would allow such a monstrosity.

These systems work on entirely different principles. You understand both, more or less, but your entire propulsion infrastructure is built around jump drives and their utility.

 

[anus_pounder]

Thats excessive, lets just have a slightly costlier command variant battleship with improved command systems, scanners and some fancy paint. No need to kill what remains of our economy.

We are still lacking a proper superweapon though.

We need, like, the Teat of Maria or Neymar's Nostril or something. Something to strike terror into the hearts of our enemies.

'Space' is already a full featured navy.

You can assume it has command vessels.

Expansionism. Colonialism. Imperialism.

Bigger. Better. STRONGER!

Let us not hide in our shell.
What are we? Men or tortoises?

Having watched some B5 videos (and episodes), I simply cant picture our codexian ships being anything else but Omega class battleships and other Earth Alliance ships.

 

[anus_pounder]

What? From ST? :/ all questions of _ VS _ aside, I say B5 had superior ship design.

[Ulminati]

Already posted this one but...

W40K fag or not, you can't deny that Marianites would feel right at home in giant space cathedrals filled with guns.

 

[Ulminati]

If we're going to build FTL drives, there is only one kind of vessel we should be fitting them on.

Giant FTL space torpedoes.

 

[taplonaplo]

We will see as much of those as the FTL stealth asteroids.

 

[Ulminati]

Step 1: FTL Drive on asteroid
Step 2: Add stealth
Step 3: Hi'in planet
Step 4: PROFIT!

 

[taplonaplo]

We will see as much of those as the FTL stealth asteroids.

those were fucking great ideas, and you know it

I know, that's why it's a shame we never employed any

 

[anus_pounder]

Asteroids or great ideas?

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Potatoes.

 

[Murk]

Well, looks like D just isn't going to be a possibility. I've changed my original vote to bump the other options up in accordance.

 

[anus_pounder]

......?

 

[The Barbarian]

The Barbarian will update as soon as he is able. It may be tonight, but it also may be tomorrow.

Who knows what the Gods will, high upon their cloud peak'd mountains?
