"As far as I know you have to be able to understand and speak the basics of our language so you can get around without the use of a translator. You also need to have a understanding of Cyrvan culture and mannerism. I believe they also screen you on your intelligence and I heard being good looking also helps...

Just for the record, I have no part in any of this."

good something to work for.  i guess all my scars i have acquired in the service wont score me points in the looks department :D. but the only difficulty i world see is speaking the language.

also as a terran if i did git citizenship would i be prohibited from joining a branch of your armed forces?

"Not prohibited but it is slightly uncommon. The majority of Terrans enlisting in the CSA end up as armed security details onboard ships or stationed planetside. It pays well and there is always a shortage of new recruits/volunteers (It's not a really popular job among Cyrvans)."

Screen for intelligence and looking good helps?
I think that crosses the line between arrogance and pettyness (is that even a word?)...
...crosses the line between being arrogant and being petty by quite a far margin.

"The Cyrvans are petty and arrogant?!

Ooh, Isa likes my statement o:

Right...uhh...seeing how the Cyrvans don't really like to fight in close combat, does this mean the CSA's Marines, capture-that-enemy-ship-now-crew or etc. could potentially be mostly Terrans? (Hurray for symbiotic relationship~)

Dawn: "I bet I could mind crush a Cyrvan from 100 yards away."

hey Dawny, what does this involve, and do you reckon you could take out Crystal?... ;) Can you do the same thing to Terrans?


"If you'll allow me on the technicals.
The standard Cleo-132 cockpit found in most LSF strike craft these days have three screens capable of handling resolutions up to 32768x32768. We stopped bothering with response times several decades ago. It's all somewhere in the range of 0.0001ms these days.
In addition to a 80x zoom, the cockpit indeed has the additional features you listed. While the advanced sensor variant can also pick up subspace waves and a whole list of extra things.
There is also the option to have 'screen in screen' windows, allowing the pilot to track up to 10 different targets (friend or foe) in smaller view screens. And it alerts the pilot when a hostile is targeting him."



So...all this technology and neural interface, etc, but it seems like you are wearing some kind of microphone...I would have thought Infi would be more advanced in that regard...or am I missing out on something here?... :)

and...um...doesn't that hair in your eye ever get annoying?


"On average a trained in hand to hand combat Terran will pretty much always win against a Cyrvan. Cyrvan's bodies are featherweight (especially the women) and their attacks have no weight behind them. At least not enough to knock out one of us. The most succesful strategy they have is attempting to dodge until the their opponent is out of breath and then using that chance to pummel them into submission."

hmmm.....or you could just stand still and face the Cyrvan while they dance all around you and run out of breath...  ;7 I wonder how they'd go in the Olympics... :drevil:

The more interresting question to me is: All that technology and still you can get blinded by bright explosions and looking directly into the sun. Why didn't anyone bother to darken the view when you otherwise would be blinded? Considering LSF craft don't even have translucent cockpits and everything is shown on screens, that should be a quite trivial matter to do.

I have a question for anyone who can answer. Do humans have any kind of technological advantage over cyrvans?

EDIT: And I mean ANYTHING like better coffee, medical care or something like that.

"We're far more advance in genetic research, definitely have better coffee and we make awesome pancakes."


Good, pancakes are the best so I'm not complaining  :). Does advenced genetic research make colonizing new planets easier?
-Woohoo new campaign! No time to play? ****!!

-Why in the bloody hell is command only giving Colossus ONE wing of bombers against the Sathanas?!

 
I'm pretty sure genetic engineering among Terrans is illegal. Bad memories of the UEU and all...

I'm not so sure about that. The problem with the UEU was that in effect they were a dictatorship forcing people to get modified, wether they liked it or not.
If it's on a strictly voluntary basis, with certain limits, I don't think there would be too many people opposed. There might be some genetic purist factions, but considering that thanks to the UEUs meddling there are as good as no genetically unmodified or "pure" Terrans left, their point of view would be hard to uphold.

I have questions regarding finances. What kind of currencies are used WoD? Is it credits, or some actual currency with coins and banksnotes?
Do all Human systems share the same currency, or are they diverse?
What kind of currency are the Cyrvan using?

to any Cyrvan, is their any aspect of Terran society, you would like to be apart of your own.

"Terrans are really hard workers and I feel thats because their society is always encouraging self improvement. I think we Cyrvans could stand to take a few lessons from that."

I'm not so sure about that. The problem with the UEU was that in effect they were a dictatorship forcing people to get modified, wether they liked it or not.

"Yes, what -Norbert- said.
There's actually an interesting movement going on with people tracing back their family line origins and discovering that their ancestors had dark colored skins that were at one point forcefully engineered out by the UEU. And they are now having that trait engineered back into their family lines.
People of this time don't look back with much pride about the UEU's time of reign. Which is something Dawn hasn't quite grasped yet, ahaha~"

Do all Human systems share the same currency, or are they diverse?
What kind of currency are the Cyrvan using?
"The UEU introduced the 'United Currency' or UC for short, which is a credit based system. We still use UC to this day and thankfully all systems opted to continue using it after the civil war, I can hardly imagine what kind of mess it would be if each planet decided to start using its own currency system.

The Cyrvans have their own wierd kinda currency system which I do not fully grasp, but supposely it all makes perfect sense to our pointy eared friends. In the end it more or less works the same as our system. It is named something along the lines of Ies-, Iesty-, Iest'v-... something. I can't pronounce it....
We just call it Cyrvan Credits these days and I must add with a small amount of pride that currently the UC is valued slightly above the CC and that's even after the massive damage that was done to our colonies."

If a bit messy. I wonder who does the cleaning job afterwards.
"A weapon is only as powerful as its wielder. With this weapon, you'll be but an annoyance, which would greatly dishonor it. With this weapon, I can change history. With me, this weapon can shape the universe."

 
Probably Terrans.  Do you really think Cyrvans would get their hands dirty doing something like cleaning up after infantry combat?

Well then, it seems weightlifting, shot-put, hammer throw, javelin, rowing, etc are not silly sport events... :p

Those things lack afterburners! What are you thinking?!

 
Should be simple to refit them with afterburners and put a big red button labeled "ZOOOOOM!!!" in the cockpits.  Still doesn't solve the lack of sporty red paint jobs though. :nono:

Wait... so you say building LSF afterburners into an alien design is less trouble that sprying the ship red?
Hm... spraying a ship red...

Is there something like paintball, but in space and with fighters? I think that would be a good training method.
Imagine the pilots having to clean their ships themselfs afte such a training session. That would surely motive them to give their best :lol:.
