LBS 2: The Prophecied Light -- Part 2

All you have to know is there's a certain new tech for each player, and then they can develop practical techs after (like the Corocian Anti-Ion Array). See my technology guide below:

The following is the current layout of technologies widely used and readily available:

SLIPCORRIDOR DRIVE
The slipcorridor drive, driven by a finite crystal supply, creates subspace incursions to allow vessels to pass through space at lightspeeds without the use of jumpstreams. This technology is used by most nations, but has been found difficult to adapt to Raman psychic mechanisms.

ANTI-ION ASSEMBLY
The Anti-ion assembly is originally a Corocian design but has been openly available to other peoples. It releases a steady field of Ions around a vessel, which protect subspace from instabilities. This effectively repels heavy damage from disruptors, but moderate damage can still be rendered upon the ship.

The following is a layout of current technologies owned and used by certain players:

DISRUPTOR BEAM
Owned by: Carnotaur
The disruptor beam is a mechanism which releases a large amount of energy upon a vessel by distorting subspace around it. This distortion can be repelled by Anti-ion assemblies on board Corocian vessels.

MESH DEVICE
Owned by: Lonevoinian
The mesh device dematerializes an object and sends the particles a short distance to a reciever at the target location, where they are properly reassembled. The object to be transported has to be set to the necessary frequency before transit can occur.

MULTIGRID SHIELDING
Owned by: Alien 5672
Multigrid shielding works by overlapping multiple shield matrixes onto one vessel by using several small generators at key points on the ship. This protects the overall ship more, but individual systems are more vulnerable.

PHOTONIC CANNONS
Owned by: Roostersw
Most spaceborne weaponry consists of nuclear bases (protons, neutrons, etc.) fired in a laser. Photonic weaponry, however, releases energy concealed within structures of these bases to inflict heavy damage upon shielding, while still allowing the energy space transit to it's target.

STAGGERRED HULL
Owned by: UE Patriot
Created by the Emalgha and issued to Patriot vessels, the staggered hull used strategically positioned, interlocking hull panels to protect the ship from breaches much more effectively than standard reinforced hull. This hull is tedious and expensive to put in but is perfect for the small Patriot fleets.

I still need reports from Rama, Oasa, Daedalus, Nova6, and 21st CDB on their technologies.

The following are records if the spatial conditions of the LBS universe:

SLIPBARRIER
The Slipbarrier runs along the edge of the galaxy, seperating known space from Raman, Rogue, Ancara, and Artaian space. The Ramans have used the areas black holes to reach the region conventionally.

BLACK HOLE
A common subspace disturbance, the black hole pulls matter around it into subspace, trapping it there. Ships have often survived the pull on their hull, and a smaller amount have been saved via slipstream. These are common around high subspace areas like the eastern slipbarrier.

SHIELD MATRIX
Nuclear energy has been used in space weaponry since the dawn of hyperspace, and shields are made up anti-nucleaic particles to attempt to repel these energies. However, current shields are only mildly protected against alternative weapons like photons, missiles, and other projectiles.

I'M GOING TO START A NEW TOPIC, AS JUDE HAS SUGGESTED. THIS IS MERELY TO CHANGE THE TOPIC NAME AND CLEAR UP SOME OF THE STUFF THAT WAS POSTED IN BETWEEN. JUDE OR ANY OTHER MODERATOR, PLEASE CLOSE OR EVEN DELETE THIS TRANSITION TOPIC IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU.

It is not fear that will destroy you, but the absence of it.
