Well, Gordontron's explanation has passed. If anybody has complaint about it, email me. (This message has been edited by kauthor (edited 05-07-2003).)

Paranoid, an explanation why the charges will take one day to upgrade, and res-edit terms, please.
------------------
They actually take the equivalent of 2 days because both slots are oriented towards them. Res-edit terms: Mass/Energy damage: 5 each (Equivalent to blaze cannon or so) Reload: 1 (30/sec) No detonation device other than proximity. (ie don't fade out) Basically tiny bombs similar to anti-personnel mines in damage, worthless as an offensive weapon but in packed orbit any cloaked ship will be exposed. A shuttle could survive 20 of these simultaneously. About the size of a grenade and exceptionally easy to mass produce this weapon is defensive in nature and wouldn't harm vessels, much.
Seeing how little design is needed on an antique design you should realize that practically 0 research time is necessary and 2 RTDs is always my outfitting time so 2 slots in 1 day is equivalent.
Outfitted: 30,000 on each Supply ship 1,200 on each Kirroka 5,000 on each Frigate 7,000 on each Cruiser (Edit: divided all #s by ten, stupid mistake) ------------------ "Paranoia is Life"

Umm. You say 100 of these bomblets fit in 1 ton of space. I dont believe a Voinian Cruiser has 750 tons of free space. For that matter, a supply ship would need over 10 times its current cargo capacity to hold that many.
How you got the numbers you have, I dont know.
And Gordontrons post is invalid, involving Grivok. He didnt post any actual route, and acording to him he'd have already arrived at Stror. So I posted involving him there. It's generally taken that if no route is posted, the shortest route is taken. From Himgro, You can go either via Grivok or Blaga and still reach Stror in the same time. Since his eventual destination was Stror, I had the battle take place there.
Of coruse that doesnt really matter, since I had fleet in Grivok as well, duplicating that in Stror. So all that happened is his ships died there instead, just as quick, and without getting a single message off. And the system wouldnt have been empty of ships even if I hadnt move dmy fleet there. I did say I assigned small defence fleets to every system, and the systems with the new stations were included.
Plus unless Gordontron has increased the Azdaras shields so they're over 3 times as powerful as the original Azdara, his G2 Azdaras died in way under a second.
And for this cosmic ray chain link thing...atmosphere is hardly 'far apart'. You have particles crowding all over the place. It's just much lower density than what we consider solid. And reading the encyclopedia description again, I realsie it'd be useless against shields, the cosmic rays reacting with the nuclei in the atmosphere. The shields are bands of energy. No nuclei for the rays to react with. They'd just be absorbed.
(Edit) Reading a more indepth description of what cosmic rays are, what I see you trying to do is hit ships with the various high energy particles and energy forms released from a reaction (and fusion probably aint the best way for something that small, too clean), and expect them to start setting off reactions. Looks like a cheapo version of an x-ray laser warhead, albiet without the various bits that concentrate the x-rays so they can do damage. Also looks like a high strength electromagnetic shield would make this useless going with your description.

Involving my scouting party. For one thing I did not originally post a path to stror because I said that I was scanning into Zidagar space so it would be pretty obvious which route I would take. Furthermore I did not post the path because I did not have time yesterday morning. I did say will post more later, so I could finish my post. You replyed to an unfinished post so you could not tell what I would do. But you are right you probably had ships in those systems. They did get out a message since they were on high alert, scannin, and constantly sending back information to Raigar. It is more raw info rahter than a typed message. Never the less they now know about this station and the appearance out of now where.
On the cosmic rays. I talked with Kauthor last night and he said it would be ok as long as I expanded the research time to ten days, which I did. The actual science I just thought I would post because most designs around here have no scientific meaning. You can ignore that if you want and just focus on what the explosive does. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edit: -space turret prodction facilities will be completed on the 6th (now the 7th because the BV Armor is very, very good) to make 3 Voinain Space Turrets and 6 Azdgari Space Turrets per RTD. UPGRADE TO THIS: the turrets will be fitted with new Bovine Armor. Completed today. I have offered extensive explainations before. -To take the Azdgari Space Turrets slot the G2 Azdgari's and production lines will be upgraded. The ships was originally designed for Dospect armor and now it has come. The G2 looks like it has low shields but it operates the same way as the original Azdara. It has the same shield recharge rate and it is slightly better because of the Azdgari Shield Regenerator. This ship was originally designed to be of the destroyer class but with fighter speed, now it is. These are in resedit terms: A. Ship name: G2 Azdara B. Shield: 450 C. Armor: 75 (without Voinian Armor) D. Acceleration: Very good (Azdara excellent) E. Cargo space: 5 F. Weapon space: 15 (now that I have upgraded it) G. Turning: Very Good (Azdara excellent) H. Top speed: Excellent I. Fuel: 10 jumps J. Standard with: Azdgari Shield Generator, Azdgari Jamming Device, 4 forward facing Swivel Phase cannons (2 set in belly two set in top), 2 Shield Capacitors (adds to shields) , 2 Infernus flame rocket launchers plus 20 rocket packets (100 rockets), 100mm railgun, dospect armor. Because this is just an upgrade and refit it will take till the 10th. This ship will be available to the Voinians(dahh),the Zachit, and Seleria.
-This device will enable the ship or objects shield to be able to concentrate in one area. In other words it is kind of like the Star trek tech, if I wanted to move all my shield to the front half I would then have 2X's the shield density. If I new an object was coming in from the left and another small object form the right, the ship computers could send all the shields to those spots causeing less damage to the shields. It is limited to the shell which normal shields are in.-Besides being movable here is a more in depth explanation: Normal shields operate this way. The energy projected from a single source is projected in a shell like shape around the said ship. When something tries to pass through this energy field it reacts blocking it but also taking damage. The shield is evened out by this projector so that the shield is of equal strengths in all places. If this energy field is breached ie: a hole is created then the shield is either extremly weakened or is disapated. This is what makes piercing weapons such as rays and missiles so effective. This new shield design counters that problem that plagues all shields. Besides being movable this new Azdgari Shield counters this "hole" problem. Thus it will make all shields of whatever size many times stronger. It is very effective. completed on the 8th-but an extra day is added to make it more effective
so in review projects: G2 Azdara refit, Cosmic Rays (they aren't now because there was so much objection to that science but the name will stay the same), and Azdgari Advantage Shielding (this is good people not just some small technology) ------------------ "Chaos is our ally, discipline our mortal foe" --Azdgari Commander Long live the Azdgari!

Sorry I've been gone, I can only access the internet at certain times, and my sister decided she would conviently take up my time for the past few days. Gordontron, you say there's a message I need to respond to from you, I'm assuming it's the one about Diudir and Apert. The only problem is that though I will respond to it, In character the Igadzra said those systems belong to them. And indeed, I looked back and in the beginning when the battles started they did go after those systems, and RMA posted that the Igadzra took them over. Since in all the confusion of the battles I'm not sure if that was disputed or not, I am simply going to assume that RMA's post a couple of pages back about capturing them is correct, and will respond by that, since it is easy to confirm. Also, please stop saying he when referring to me. I'm female.

It took me awhile to train them on that, too

I have a little problem with your last post Cresent. I have to wonder who'd have any sort of comm link (open or secure), active for anyone to hook into to get into any sensitive computers. I'd then wonder who'd actually keep any tech plans on a computer linked to any sort of comm system. I find hacking into a station that knows it's under attack rather...bad. It just doesnt fit. Even the most cursory check on comm links would show something was up. I state now no Hegemony system would allow anything like that to happen. I'd like to think the Hegemony has more than 2 brain cells among its collective populace.
You could be right on that, but I supposedly did the same thing on the Rock, with no complaints. There has to be a way for computers to connect, because messages can be sent in between them, so the conection could be made that way, possibly in form of a message, then allowing access to the other computer, maybe through a virus-type program. This isn't easy, and probably could only be done in the same system. It took my character a long time. If the mods agree with you, though I will change it.
(This message has been edited by Cresent (edited 05-07-2003).)
That was an issue that I had to talk with several people last time , Cresent, and it was allowed.
Yes Rima I know now you are female. Like I said before I asume masculinity until some one tells me, in this case Kauthor did last night. I wanted you around for the outcome of the battle of Chak. Because if I start to lost we need to put in place our plan very quickly. Yes let RMA have Apert and the other system he stole, he is right on that point however we need to be hard in the future about your taking over to my systems. I also wanted you around because you and Kauthor are a vital part of the galaxy community and it owuld be helpful if you at least posted ships and research.
On Seleria hacking. I think this is extremly fair. If she has no edge over the general mary jane Cresent Warship then what's the point of playing. It seems to me that she can be an expert in hacking. So many long hours in space flight and you could teach your self just about anything.
Its all up to the mods. I will not check back on this board. Kauthor if you want to set up a meeting with red and cantor on friday from 8-9 our time that sounds good.

Or go insane from the boredom
Billy Graham Crusade on Friday from 6-8 pm. 200,000 people. I'm working. Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.
Just for the record, I control Apert.
I'll be back in supreme activity in 9 days. Fun. I get to think of new technology to eliminate problems.

you can't get the Ansatsu designs, at least in one day during a battle. If you took some time, maybe. But during an attack research halts, and even the scientists on the station couldn't reach the information. You can get phase turrets, crescent warships, the names of my technologies, but nothing more. Sorry. It's just too easy.

I uphold Red's moderation on his Ansatsu design plans.
Also, Red, you're cleared by me to play as the UE. Go for it.
AV Cannon/Turret stats: (Res-edit terms) Reload: 15 Speed: 2000 Mass damage: 5 Energy damage: 80 Count: 100 Inaccuracy: Cannon: 2 degrees Turret: 4 degrees Mass: Cannon: 12 Turret: 20
This weapon is a combination of phase technology, neutron technology, and a practical application of an old theory. The AV Cannon sacrifices slight amounts of accuracy for a faster rate of fire. The negative energy theory is the brainchild of an ancient human scientist, while the humans didn't exploit this technology after discovering hyperdrive the Voinians found it in an ancient catalog and sent scientists to analyze it. Eventually negative energy was produced in labs but what was the point? It didn't explode or harm anything and it drained power from anything around it. Years after this production the Voinian high command revived the project, it was now understood that the weapon could drain shielding if there was only a way to launch it without draining the shields of the vessel it was launched from. A method was found by containing the negative energy blast within a positive energy shell. Neutron shells couldn't do it but with a phase blast combined the negative energy could feed without draining the vessel itself. The result was a compact gun. The shells are similar to the ones the Azdgari expected but literally untraceable since the negative energy cancels any reflection of energy.
(Factor unknown to any species, including Voinians, this weapon due to it's negative energy aspect works as a flare to any tracking projectile. However the projectile must get exceptionally close and will likely just hit the vessel's gun. It generally cannot divert a missile fired from behind. 5-10% blocking)
Also I will be leaving the forums for several months in approximately 30 days. I believe that because of our allied goals the Azdgari could run my government while I am unavailable, but any substitute must agree to a set of demands on the running of my people.
-REDCHIGH-: Feel free to take over the UE. I won't attack until you are settled in enough to have a chance at defense.
Everyone: I apologize for my lack of character development or participation recently but I have been having more college interviews than I thought possible, as well as performances two days a week. I will attempt to participate more before I leave, but I make no guarantees.

If this comes in on sat instead of friday then its just he annoying time zones: -This device will enable the ship or objects shield to be able to concentrate in one area.

Now all ships are being upgraded with this and all production lines are being upgraded with it. Finished on the 11th.
Note: I will respond to messages tomorrow, my ships chase Reds ships by the way. Will post when I am not so tired.
Guided Infernus Rockets: Count: 1500 Mass d: 40 Energy d:90 Guidance: Remote control, gunner. Speed: 900 Mass: Packet of 5 for 1 ton Fit into same launcher as Infernus Rockets.
The Voinians have always had a fear of artificial intelligence and until recently it kept them at strict a military disadvantage. Due to the Azdgari's generous gifts however the Voinians are now all but protected from enemy AIs, and are designing a rocket that is guided in a way unblockable at the present time. The mass charge had to be decreased to make room for the extra thrusters and for a greater supply of fuel, but the new negative energy theory was able to actually increase the energy damage slightly while decreasing the charge size. Quote originally posted by Captain Carnotaur:
Projects 1, 2, & 3: Zidagar Fleet Refit - 3 RTDs (complete on the 13th) The Zidagar fleet, while formidable, still lacks a number of technologies that have recently been researched or have only been availible to the Igadzra beforehand. The Zidagar Territories government is now working on implimenting these many technologies into their fleets. The newly implimented technologies include; SAEs, SAE-Gs, Spinal Beams, Emerald Fire Generators, the Hegemony Jammer, Enhanced Phase Weaponry, and many other Igadzra and Zidagar technologies.
Can you say what other outfits and how many on each ship?
