Praying mantises doesn't have tentacles she imagined, so Cordi might have looked less creepy after seening how Tempest drawn them... :)
-
Misuzu is braver person than I. Or perhaps not as familar with preying mantises.
Consider the size of a praying mantis in this. Even if a cordi was only 80 cm big, that would still count as "overgrown praying mantis". Besides, when she saw them, they were probably bound, not running around freely.
-
A 'properly bound overgrown praying mantis' is still an overgrown praying mantis. That is, an instant change of pants.
But the tech room says Terrans did some genetic shenanigans on themselves, and are bigger and live longer as a result, IIRC. I bet Misuzu herself is 7 or more feet high. Talk about overgrown.
-

They fit a human into a Cordi fighter, and dialogue suggests it only required rebuilding the controls. If the cordi was only 80cm big, you'd have to rip stuff out to fit a spacesuited human (even a more animesque spacesuited human) in there. I have to assume there isn't much of a size difference.
So I think "big enough to make your head pop off like a champange cork" is on the table.

Well, they actually reckon that the whole "killing males whilst mating with them" is actually a response to human observation of the whole nuptial event - to whit, it agitates the female during copulation so that she switches from mating behaviour to feeding behaviour (creepy in itself).
Spy cams in the wild have managed to capture Mantid mating events which involve elaborate courting rituals and which the male survives.
Of course, this will vary from species to species, but there you go...

Misuzu or Crystal: Which one of you had to fly inside the Hertak flag ship? I have conflicting information on which one it was.
Whichever of you it was... did you find it easy to navigate inside that thing? How long did it take for you to destroy the reactors, and how much time did you have to spare before it exploded?
Dawn: Was it difficult to transition to fighters without actual transparent cockpit canopy? How exactly does that work? We saw that one mission with the early encounter with Fur'Angle where windows proved their value, but in normal use, how does the visual environment system in the windowless cockpits compare with actually seeing out with your own eyes? Resolution, response time? Does the visual environment system offer additional features such as adjusting the observation spectrum from visible light to, say, infra-red or ultraviolet, or even radio frequencies (microwave frequencies would be good for visual detection of radar sources) or x-ray/gamma ray wavelengths (which could be used to detect reactors, both working and breached).
Cyrvans: What? You're not wearing full vacuum seal space suits in combat? Do your cockpits eject as a whole, sealed system? What sort of contingencies do you have for situations where your pilots are exposed to vacuum? It's not just the integrity of your cockpit construction, it's a question about life support redundancy. What happens if one of your ships has a reactor failure? Does the life support run on its own energy system? What if there's a failure in the life support system itself? You could lose the atmosphere even if the ship is technically totally intact... Soyuz 11 is a good historical example.

"Yes, the whole cockpit ejects and the life support has its own power supply.
In the case the cockpit itself is somehow breached there is an emergency system build within our flight suits which projects an energy field around the head and if need be, around the whole body but that drains the power at a far faster rate."

"The key word here is Faster.
The difference is 51 hours on full, versus 347 hours on just the head. The suit itself is completely vacuum proof."
That means you are better than Terrans at resisting Gs? Or your cockpits have active protections against them?

"Terrans are actually better at resisting Gs. But that is irrelevant, you won't notice any G forces at work in a CSA ship.
The biggest issue for Terran pilots in CSA fighter craft is the large amount of data the ship throws at you along with the senitivity of the controls. The Terran mind is just incapable of the level of multi tasking required to effectively pilot a CSA fighter."

A slight tendency to precognition as hinted in the background story and shown ingame. Dawn had a "strange feeling" right before the prometheus frame was blasted by the Fura'ngle capships and lost it's beams.
-
Also, she was able to detect the incoming Cordi ships before the Explorer when they ended up in Alpha Draconis.
On that point: Dawn, did you ever find an explanation on how you ended up time travelling 100 years into the future and in Alpha Draconis?
-
True that would interest me too. The time travel I can guess at, but how did they skip through at least one system and end up somewhere else entirely?
Unless of course the "timetravel" happened exactly because they traveled that far, but then how comes that they were untouched by time?

The biggest issue for Terran pilots in CSA fighter craft is the large amount of data the ship throws at you along with the senitivity of the controls. The Terran mind is just incapable of the level of multi tasking required to effectively pilot a CSA fighter.
Does that mean the main reason why (most) Terrans can't fly CSA fighters is a badly designed interface?
What about Dawn? Did her genetic enhancements make her capable of effectively piloting an Aestival?

That's not a badly designed interface, it's just one that is bad for humans. It's probably the optimal interface for Cyrvans.
It's actually offensive to Cyrvans to say that it's badly designed just because it doesn't interface well with us Terrans
-
Only offensive to those who designed the interface. Surely I'm not offending the entire USA by saying a certain Crysler car is badly designed!
And it's not offensive if it's true, though I guess I could rephrase it into "not fully optimized" to make sure the engineers don't feel offended, despite the Cyrvans not being overly concerned about offending Humans judging from Crystals behaviour (who is really the only Cyrvan featured in the campaign.... Luna just has too few lines).
In my opinion there is a difference between "sufficient" and "good". The Cyrvan cockpits certainly are sufficient for their pilots, but are they really good? In an effective user interface you don't put out as much data as the user can handle, you try to only put out the data the user really needs. As long as nothing important is missing, the less information given out the better.
If the pilot can configure what is shown and what not, all the better (with some bare necessities being impossible to disable perhaps).
Since I don't see why a Cyrvan fighter would have to put out more data than a Terran fighter (except in "Mech-mode"), why would they throw so much more data at the pilot than LSF fighters?
Considering how intelligent Cyrvans are supposed to be, I'm sure they could improve those interfaces a lot. But apperently they are satisfied with it just being sufficient, were we Humans seem to have a stronger streak to make everything we build perfect.
Unless of course the CSA fighters have many functions on manual that are handled automatically in LSF craft. But why would they want to do that?
Each little bit of distraction can be a pilots death in combat (and even out of combat), no matter how good that pilot is at multi-tasking.
Imagine CSA pilots that only had to handle as much data as LSF cockpits put out and them putting all the attention and mental abilities they usually need just to keep their fighters going on the fight instead!
-
Norbert, I'm not sure that makes sense. Modern fighter planes put out more information than the pilot can handle; today's jet pilots train extensively to keep track of everything they need to without flying into the ground. And, believe it or not, they still fly into the ground; several US aircraft were lost in Iraq (probably) due to task overload.
-
This is (usually) to do with what's known in the RAAF and RAF at least as 'spare mental capacity', something you are assessed on during your time at BFTS and 2FTS, and subsequently onto your OCU days. It's not something trainable, but rather a pilot's innate skill that separates pilots streamed to the fast-jet breed from the others.
Issues like flying into the ground/other aircraft due to your mental capacity being stretched to the limit is why in the RAAF, one of the aircrew work cycles is ALAP, Attitude, Lookout, Attitude, Performance. Basically, 80% of your time should be spent on lookout and attitude (both done by looking outside the aircraft, attitude is determined by the horizon rather than by the instruments).
Maintaining a good lookout and selecting pilots with larger spare mental capacities for the Fast-Jet pipeline ensures you don't run into issues like flying planes into the ground, etc. In fact one of the issues identified as to why US pilots tended to fare worse during the merge during multinational exercises a few years earlier was that they're being deployed so often that they don't have the time to train as much as other Air Forces, who tend to spend most of their time at home doing block training and the like.

I know that, and that it caused death' both in military and civilian aviation, but how does that matter for a discussion about WoD?
Since LSF fighters don't crash due to the pilots being overloaded with data, they apperently overcame the problems we struggle with today. Maybe with better designed interfaces, maybe with better automation probably due to the use of AI, better screening and/or training of pilots or just with plenty of handwavium.... whatever the reason, the problem seems to have been solved.
Which brings be back the my point:
Unless CSA fighters have plenty of functions that the LSF fighters don't have (apart from "mech-mode" non have been mentioned in either the techroom or the campaign) or they require the pilot to do things that run on automatic in LSF craft, the only explenation for the additional data would be and inefficient (though still sufficient for Cyrvans) interface.
Which of those is it? Or is there another possibility I overlooked?
-
Sure: the LSF interfaces present as much data as the human pilot can handle, the CSA interfaces present as much data as a Cyrva can handle, which is more.
-

The point I was trying to make.
Thanks Battuta :)
Norbert, you're making the mistake of equating Cyrvan mental faculties to our own, which just doesn't make sense.
-
Yeah. My feeling is, let's say both LSF and CSA interfaces are optimized to the point of arbitrarily high efficiency: if there exists a gap in the pilots' abilities there will still be a difference in how much info they can present.
-
Norbert, you're making the mistake of equating Cyrvan mental faculties to our own, which just doesn't make sense.
No I don't. If you really read my posts you'd know that....
The only thing I am assuming is, that while they are capable of handling more matters at the same time than a Human, they too have more cencentration to spare for each task, the fewer of them there are.
Sure: the LSF interfaces present as much data as the human pilot can handle, the CSA interfaces present as much data as a Cyrva can handle, which is more.
I think you're missing my point here yet again.
When you build an interface you don't try to display every shred of information the user can handle by default. You put out the important stuff first and add only what's necessary or requested.
For example why would the pilot need to know the exact temperature in the cockpit as long as it is within a certain margin? When the temperature goes out of bound, the pilot gets an alarm and the exact value. If not, simply don't show it, since it doesn't help one bit to pilot the craft.
Since LSF fighters run fine with the information they display, that must mean that CSA fighters either have additional functions, or that they display information that is unnecessary for flying the fighter.
So even if Cyrvans pilots can handle being shown every little shred of data about their fighters, it's still not fully optimized.

But again, modern fighter jets supply more information than the pilot can possibly keep track of, which suggests that there is more information than the pilot can possibly keep track of - there certainly was when I flew in Falcon 4.0, which is painfully realistic.
I mean look at a picture of a modern cockpit.
And if that's true for us, it's true for the LSF and CSA, which means they're both probably presenting more than the pilot can handle, the CSA ships to an unsafe degree.
-
So what? We are talking about a scienece fiction setting set several hundred years in the future. Figthers that don't have any translucant cockpits!
Why would it matter one bit how a modern cockpit looks or handles?
If it's true for us it's true for them? Do you really beliefe that? Because if everyone would think that way, nothing would ever change and no new technologies would ever be invented.
-
Well there's too much to assess at a single glance. There are work cycles for how you're meant to assess all the information given to you in a rational manner whilst flying, rather than going into cardiac arrest from trying to comprehend all the information in your head at once and expend your mental capacity.
In addition to this, pilots are also selected on their ability to allocate priorities among competing sources of information. In this case, it's how you divide your time up in the cockpit and which display you pay attention to first. Generally in a modern fighter aircraft, the majority of your necessary info is displayed on your HUD, and the remainder generally fall under the category of 'Performance/Other Instruments', which are checked 20% of the time whilst flying.
I don't know exactly what you're talking about, as I haven't the time to try out WoD, but I'm guessing CSA aircraft have instrument panels and displays which run counterintuitive to attempts to prioritise the information coming at you.

It's still humans flying human spacecraft. If there's information overload today in a then-primitive craft, imagine how much greater the overload will be in a spacecraft. Then multiply that by five or six, because you're going to be wrong.

Unless I'm very much confused, this is exactly the point Battuta is not making. It's true for us. They can handle more information, with consequently less severe overflow. That means their craft can display more information and responses before overload becomes a very serious problem. Humans can't handle it.
Plese lrn2readingcomprehension.

Even in modern airplanes (at least the big passanger maschines) they are moving away from having one element for each input. Instead they have several monitors on which you can select which data to display.
That is how I imagine it is in the future too, which means you can just not display certain things untill you need them.
And that leads to far less information being shown at one time, while still having everything available if needed, even without super advanced future computers and AIs.
The trend already started in reality.

I don't think any of your statements here follow from my argument. Spacecraft are going to be incredibly complex; humans in WoD have not (mostly) been augmented to handle that increased complexity.
It is in general good to have as much information as you can possibly present up to the point where the pilot becomes overloaded (but not past it). If the Cyrvan information buffer is bigger than the Human one on the cognitive level, their interfaces will present more data. That's all you need to know.
-
They do mention that there are humans who can handle piloting an Aestival...just not many. However I'm curious how the data breaks down; much of what a modern pilot has to monitor concerns his own aircraft. By the time we're talking WoD, I suspect a lot of this has been eliminated or automated to allow the pilot to concentrate more on his surrounding. (The minimalistic FS interface makes a lot of sense, if you can get away with it.)
Yet there is a fixed amount of data that can come in from either source, and it's primarily the intermingling of the two that causes problems for human pilots. If you accept that one of them has been largely eliminated, does that mean the Cyrva haven't automated to the same degree? Do their ships append more information on other craft than Terran ones? What exactly causes the overload?
And can it be eliminated with a software patch?

I suspect the answers lay with the fact the Cyrva fighters have robot modes and intermediate settings

how about this one the Cyrva handle data better than us apes so have decided that it would be better to use some of the of the processing power we would use to reduce data overload on the pilot and put it to something like managing ship systems helping with the performance advantage they have like lateral movement which us apes find so tricky to implement
-
Erm.... Ray III-E....
-
Erm.... Ray III-E....
is a limited implementation that comes with drawbacks
-
So they had to remove some armor to fit in the thrusters that allow lateral movement and higher manouverbility, but it still shows that it isn't tricky for Humans to build ships with lateral thrusters, it just didn't fit into their design philosophy prior to the invasion (massproduction of realtively cheap ships rather than top-of-the-line high-cost ships).
-
I really suspect a human could fly an Aestival if you just patched the software. :P
-
There is the matter of the extremely sensitive controlls, on top of the data overflow to consider. So I guess most Humans don't have the necessary reaction speed to handle them effectively in battle.
I'd still like to know how well Dawn could handle them though.
-
Well anyway...Dawn, besides letting you control Infi, what effect did the genetic alteration have on your mind?

Also, she was able to detect the incoming Cordi ships before the Explorer when they ended up in Alpha Draconis.

This man has a point here. Crystal demonstrates quite of bit of open mindedness since she isn't suppressing every Terran into slave labor. Hell, any Cyrvan who joined the Joint Academy is bound to be very open minded.
For those who think Crystal is closed minded, she's nothing compared to her older sister. :shaking:

Don't give me that, young lady. If Battuta is right, then so am I. Patching the sensor and diagnostic software to present a smaller datastream would solve the problem.
Mind you, I also think that the mere fact either group still runs up against limits is a horrible, stupid thing since I would hope by now both would have managed to realize that it's best to cut down on extraneous information in the stream. A Cryvan ship with a Terran system would probably perform better than one with the existing setup because it's harder to push the pilot into task overload.
-
That's just pushing the question back - for any given pilot there will be an optimum level of information presentation that strikes a balance between ability to assimilate and the utility of having information available. If the average optima are higher for Cyrva pilots than humans, then yes you could patch it down for humans, but Cyrva will still do better.
-
In fact, a skilled pilot would most likely be able to ignore unnessesary information and prevent "helmet fire" (is it how information overload is called in pilot slang?), even in Aestival.
More Cyrvan pilot than human ones can fly Aestival well, because it was designed with Cyrvans in mind. Cyrvan would most likely take a while to get used to a Terran fighter and would have a problem with fighting pilots who trained on them from the beggining (shield control would be new to him/her, for example).
-
Even if the interface could be configured for Terrans, the controlls are still too sensitive. And if you make those less sensitive, you might as well not bother with it in the first place....
So remind me again, why does the Aestival have no shields? Considering how much energy reserve it has for afterburner and weapons, surely there is enough energy for shields.
Are all Cyrvan fighters like the Aestival in that regard (no shields, but self-repairing)?
-
Aestivals were obviously not designed with Terrans piloting it in mind.
There should be an option to just shut down everything in an Aestival and fly and fight WW2 style. Bam, there goes the information problem.
What role do Aestivals fulfill in the Cyrvan Navy? Heavy assault? Is it their most advanced design?
-
Even if the interface could be configured for Terrans, the controlls are still too sensitive.
Considering most of us have tried one, it's not as bad as a Ulysses. :P

Considering the history of space combat as they've fought it, such as the main engagement between the Cryva and Humanity back when they fought when there were over 10k ships on the field, the simple truth is that a pilot will always be overwhelmed. Minimizing as much as possible while still presenting useful data remains a worthy goal.

While I do agree with you on that (and argued myself blue about it before you joined in the discussion :p ), it really doesn't matter much since the creator of the campaign believes differently. And ultimately it's Spoons call, since it's his campaign - even his "universe".

Aestival controls can be mastered with some practice, using mouse for it may also help, as this thing turns more like an FPS character.
Joystick works just fine though.

Actually, Aestival is a light fighter, so it's a recon/interceptor, may also be used as space superiority or defense fighter.
The ones on board Guardian Angel are actually rather outdated, Cyrvan Navy is currently using much better version.

I know that and I didn't have too much of a problem with the Aestival either (probably because I fly the Ray III-E whenever I get the chance).
But the point I was trying to make is, that just because we players can handle the Aestival, doesn't mean that a Human "in-universe" can. That we can fly it is a necessary balance issue. That Humans in-universe can't (effectively) fly it is established canon. -> balance and story.

I dare not imagine how those handle.
-
I doubt that the new Aestival would be more agile, they could be faster, better armored and armed, but I don't think that agility would increase.
-
Why would they need a better fighter? The Aestival is most likely the most overpowered thing a player can fly, second only to the Tides of Darkness' SB Yali or a player using ～+k
-
Wait, wait, why was everyone freaking out when the Hertak attacked the CSA then?
'cuz I'll grant five-six Hertak fighters can really ruin an Aestival's day, but if they've got heavier stuff...
-
Cyrvan law demands that ALL CSA military assets come running to defend the Cyrvan systems (and maybe the protectorates.... not sure about that part) if they are attacked, no matter now easy the attack is defeated.
And that meant no CSA reinforcements for the LSF, which meant almost certain defeat for the LSF and thus annihilation or surrender to the Hertak (or maybe fleeing into Cyrvan space, if they allowed it). But luckily they had Infi and the JGASF to turn the tide.
-
Doesn't work, because the Hertak would be unable to complete the conquest of Terran space and hold off the CSA if anything about the CSA force structure from the old Terran vs. Cryvan days holds true. It was bad news not to get CSA reinforcements, but a CSA counterattack will effectively suck off a lot of the more powerful Hertak ships like the Adasyas and Armageddons to hold it off.
-
Okay, so they wouldn't have lost, but the point still stands. They were counting on the CSA reinforcements and because of the attack on Cyrva space they weren't coming.

What role do Aestivals fulfill in the Cyrvan Navy? Heavy assault? Is it their most advanced design?
"The Aestival design is an old but sturdy one, it was initially designed for Recon but during the T-C war quite a few got refitted for dogfighting. The most noticable change is the added underslug medium cannon mount. The self repairing hull is standard issue on all CSA ships, though the Aestival is one of the few designs that does not come with shields of any kind.
The two onboard the Guardian Angel are both old models that went above and beyond the call of duty."
Crystal! What is that blue line on your right cheek? Is it painted on or a tatoo? Does it have any meaning (like Clan or Family or Rank) or is it just adoration?
"It's called Hyalj, the most direct translation would be 'war paint'. Most families have their own variations of it but for the most part it is just decoration. Though there are a few famous examples that have deep spiritual roots in Feryaa."
Crystal, why were you selected to join the 1st JGASF and not someone a bit more open-minded about Terrans?
"I'm very much open-minded, I'm merely stating observations."
Cyrvan law demands that ALL CSA military assets come running to defend the Cyrvan systems (and maybe the protectorates.... not sure about that part)
"Yes, this law also applies to protectorates. I'll refrain from saying anything about how stubborn Terrans can be and so forth.
On this note, we have no idea just how many ships the Hertak have or how vast their space is. So while it was highly inconvenient that the reinforcements never came, I can't fault my people for being cautious."

"A Terran system would take away options for the pilot, thus limiting performance. Task overload is non existent for us Cyrvans while flying our own fighters."
Task overload is something I can force on a computer, much less a biological brain. Your statement is nonsensical. There has to be a threshold. :P
-
Note "when flying our own fighters." part.
They're made for Cyrvans and thus, optimized for them.
LSF most likely also optimized their fighters, they could put up as much info as CSA, but they'd risk "helmet fire" occuring to less experienced pilots.
A human trained on an unoptimized design would have less problems with it, but training would be more expensive and take longer, which wasn't desirable at peacetime.

Fixed. We don't know much about Cyrvan neurobiology, and given how terrible the human brain is at multitasking they could conceivably be wildly better at it. There will always be a threshold but it may be very very high.

So, Crystal, now that the CSA has agreed to whatever supply situation is necessary, will the JGASF be receiving any Cryvan ships larger than a fightercraft? Maybe an escort or two?

To each crew member at once.
Honestly, have you all seen Freespace and the Galactic Terran Vasudan Alliance? I half wonder how long the Hertak and its battlethralls would have lasted against that kind of firepower. Any thoughts?
Oh, Shivans vs Hertak. Have fun.
Oh Crystal. I bet you 20 grand, you'd go "GIMME" If you saw the GTVA Colossus.
(Dunno if this has been asked allready)

i think freespace would've been dominominated

-
I'm not so sure about dominated. I mean, No offense to all Space Elves.
But.....Alpha One. GTVA has Alpha. One.
Alpha One could have probally blown the hertak mothership up without needing to fly inside its reactor. After all, he blows the everloving crap out of a starship at least SEVERAL Times its size (I think a Sathanas is several times its size)
Dawn. Its not the Alpha One you know, the one WE know is God, who decided to strap himself into a fighter and start blowing badguys up.
Also: Last two questions. (Sorry for so many!)
Crystal: If you could gain control of the SD Lucifer, what would you do?
Misuzu: Ever wondered what it'd be like to fly a GTVA Fighter?
(I had to).
-
Though I don't have exact in-game values (damn Modelview for failing at opening non-retail POF's), the Flagship's techroom description says that it is 11 kilometers long, which actually makes it nearly twice the size of a Sathanas (length-wise anyway).
And besides, the Colossus was the ship that blew the everloving crap out of the Sathanas, not Alpha 1. Technically speaking. ;)
Oh, incidentally, NexusCron:

Dark Hunter, Alpha One in a Cryvan Fighter, Should we be unnerved?
If he can fly a paper thin, piece of crap Vasudan Fighter, then he can probally handle a Cryvan fighter easily.
Also, wouldn't the Sathanas just..curbstomp poor little Flagship, I mean, it has Four friggen superlasers that gut capitol ships as if their armor was thinner then a Corvi Fighter.

SJ Sathanas:
Hp: 1.000.000
Shields: 0
BFred damage: 2100 (11.550)
Hertak Flagship:
Hp: 3.500.000
Shield: 2.500.000
Flagship beam damage: 7500 (41.250)
Flagship large turret damage: 200.000
In a one on one head on engagement the Sath wouldn't last that long.
Of course, if you consider that the shivans have at least 80 confirmed Sath's and the Hertak just one Flagship...
There's also the question if the shivan beams would pierce shields.

(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/4351/crystalneutral.png)
"The Guardian Angel is really a comfortable ship, the interior feels more like a home than a military vessel.
On the downside it was clearly designed with the LSF military doctrine of fleet line formations in mind, the ship is slow in both real space and subspace and in my opinion doesn't nearly have enough shielding for a ship of its size.
The Skirmisher is actually a ship I can speak favorably off, it has a tremendous amount of forward firepower and has shown more than capable of dealing critical damage to ships that are a scale larger than itself. It does require a fair bit of fighter cover to operate effectively, but the same can be said for every LSF capital ship currently in service. Which brings me to the Challenger design, which in my opinion is just a slow bulky ship that fills the same role as the Skirmisher but is significantly more cumbersome about it. It is hardly capable in a broadside engagement and has rather poor point defense weaponry.
The Terrans are learning though! However, it'll still be a long time before they can even come close to the superiority of the CSA.
We Cyrvans favor flexibility and maneuverability on the battle space. Once an engagement starts, the CSA will determine the flow of the battle with a series of short jumps and multi pronged attacks."
(http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/3510/dawnneutral.png)
"The UEU as a space military power wasn't really worth mentioning. There was no immediate need to develop large ships and consequently there was little in terms of bomber designs. When moving to a new location, we pilots would spend a lot time sleeping in the cockpit to pass the time. During this time all the fighters in the wing would be slaved to the one pilot 'on guard'. Not having subspace drives really sucked when I think back about it.
The people in this time sure have it nice.
That said, I can't really say much about the Guardian Angel. I like the ship but I realize I have nothing to compare it with."

Indeed but it probably won't happen any time soon:
Scar transferred to an elite squadron in the 2nd Fleet by his own request.

(I actually handle the Aestival better than even the Ray III-E, but the lack of shields and somewhat short afterburner (to me) kinda makes me sad)
Mizusu Misuzu: Will you ever try flying helmet-less, again? Is the Ray III (standard) really THAT dangerous, not having seatbelts and being prone to spalling to cause you to bonk your head?
Shiny rocks Crystal: Do you think there's a possibility of a joint Terran-Vasudan Cyrvan shipbuilding project? Is Terran military doctrine REALLY that bad, having entirely no good points at all? Why were several Cyrvan ships (of all sizes), shieldless?

The fourth wall is the one most easily broken.

In fact, I don't think I've ever heard of the first, second, or third walls being broken before.
Breaking the Third or Second walls is usually called a "crossover". The floor and ceiling represent time. (Dawn has already broken the floor.)

A little sibling rivalry Crystal?

Wow, that purple bridge puts me off for some reason, ha. Guess I'm a Terran true and true. Awesome upsized head anis, Spoon. Kudos. Crystal's eyes are more...expressive than Isa's, actually. Those little bits of light, and the darker blue part. Isa's eyes really do look empty, but...heh, does it matter? Having your ship kill another ship counts as kills too!
-
Of course it matters. The empty eyes mean she is a soulless abomination that feeds on the life-force of innocent Terran children.
Although if this is Crystal's sister, her Hyalj should probably have an extra stripe. Of EEEEVIIL!

I think Misuzu won't be happy you mis-spelled her name, haha. Trust me, eyes usually don't look good with pupils in anime. There are some exceptions but...generally...yeah. She does look nice with her hair let down in that convoy escort head ani though...
-
It really depends on the style of the anime. Some anime are very realistically drawn (Jin-Roh for example) with real-life proportions for the eyes. The Gundam series, while not having real-life proportioned eyes (except for 00 and Unicorn for older people, the young ones still got too big eyes), all draw pupils in the eyes too.
-
You're quite correct there, Norbert. Generally though, males do have realistically drawn eyes (don't...remind me of Gundam...hahaha) while the females get bigger eyes. Getting too sidetracked from the topic though, might spoil other's fun...haha.

-
I lack significant knowledge of anime so I find it very interesting. I can't say for the others though. :nervous:
-
Every anime I watched normally has pupils of some sort in the eyes, but of course they're usually quite small and tend to blend in with the irises.
WoD has no pupils at all except for (if I remember correctly) Capt. Burner lol.
-
Well, yeah. Blending is the right word/way to put it. Kudos!

WoD has no pupils at all except for (if I remember correctly) Capt. Burner lol.
What did the UEU do to human genetics?
-
Umm well, that's purely how he was drawn...! You should ask Dawn though, what did they do to her...in detail. I'd ask myself but I might get another word that probably means bad, but sounds pleasant thrown at me again.
-
A few things are known from the first mission and techroom entries. Like higher resistance to illnesses and improved reactions.
Wether the premonitions were intended or something that just happened (or maybe an experiment by the scientists who processed her modification) though is anyones guess as far as I know.
-
I think that sensitivity thing could've been a side effect of the genetic manipulation. Also adding on, humans also live longer and start to age much later in their lives.
Sadly it doesn't help anyone from bonking their heads in their fighters...
-
I know what the UEU did with the genetic enhancements. I was trying to make a joke about the lack of pupils by way of exaggerated statement. Imagine a guy yelling "What has science done?!" at the top of his lungs.
-
They merged irises and pupils into one superiour .... thingy that let's you see through time and space.
-
We can see through time at the same rate that we travel through it, exactly 60 seconds a minute, and we can see through space by looking around. There's space around you,, you're looking through it.

You know... nuclear missiles aren't much of a WMD in the FS universe, much less WoD.
The Harbinger was a Fusion warhead.
There are weapons in both FS2 and WoD do much more damage than that.

Just a few examples. I just personally like those eye type styles so it has nothing to do with genetic modding :p
Cpt. Burner is the only exception because His is the only head ani I did not drew myself, but made from screenshots of a random Zeon pilot in gundam double zeta
On the subject of nukes:
FGB-2 description: "Introduced at the start of NC0082 in an attempt to damage Cyrvan capital ships during the Terran-Cyrva war. As the nuclear (NUGB-7) bombs proved to be ineffective at doing any damage to Cyrvan shielding." Both the FGB-2 and the FGT-3f have fusion warheads and both dont perform optimal against shielding. Nukes in WoD are mostly a reserve weapon in case the LSF decides to bombard a planet from orbit and wish to deny it to anyone due to the radiation fallout. But in most senarios other weapons are used.
I'd ask Spoon to mass-produce the DIVINEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! instead then.

Oh dear, she acknowledges it. *gulp* Oh hey, it's Char (pun intended), Agnese and Tomonori!
Any chance of Blaster-3 Divine Buster instead of a mass-produced Divine Buster? Right, I'm kiddin'. I'm curious though, would the LSF deploy nuclear weapons in the atmosphere like in the convoy mission, against large targets like Battleaxes? If there are shielded enemy ships, would nukes still be considered? EMP and all that.

So, more on the subject:
Misuzu, don't you agree that those Silva people need to make ZIGs? Instead of being sorta in fear when the Ravagers come, you can play catch with your wingmen using those Ravagers. =D
-
So, Isa. What color is the ship you command?
-
Isa: Since you are obviously on a Cyrvan ship I assume you were present in repelling (I'm pretty sure the Cyrvan were able to repell them) the Hertaks diversonary attacks on Cyrvan space.
Can you give us a bit more detail on the forces that attacked there? Which vassals were sent? Did the Hertak contribute some Armageddons? And have you been able to follow their route of attack back to it's source yet?
-
Serious question is serious.
Crystal: Are the wing names, Seraphim, Cherubim, and Jewel standard wing names for the JGASF?
In addition to that, what are the most commonly used JGASF wing designations, provided they exist, and do they tend to correlate to specific aspects such as battle roles, etc? If so, what are they?
-
Since all those names are angels or half-angels I suppose they are standard in the "Joined Guardian Angel Special Force".
-
Jewel is an angelic choir? First I'd heard of that.
-
^--Hence why I'm asking, among other reasons :P

And because of all this I'm starting Isa's official fans club, who's in for some treat? :P

The classy thing about this is that it works in multiple dimensions.

I'd think 'Archangel' would be a more fitting name for a Cyrvan wing...if not, the GA. Would be kinda nice to hear Crystal saying 'This is Archangel/Angel Base to all
angels units, RTB!'. But you know, I was pretty shocked when I saw the abbreviated name of Jewel wing on the top right corner. You know, Alp, Bet, Gam...?
-
(http://tmnforever.tm-exchange.com/smiles/rofl.gif)
That's another reason why I was wanting more names..
Jewel definitely isn't an angel Hierarchy AND the abbreviation for the wing.
-
The entity "Isa" evokes feelings of intense molluscan fear in this gastropod.
We sense...something. Something ancient. A sickly smell...a chilling wind. My ancestors scream from within their chambers in my mind. But I cannot understand their words. This feeling...a memory? It sickens us. And for the first time in our lives...for the first time in generations, we fear.
-
Jewel definitely isn't an angel Hierarchy AND the abbreviation for the wing.
Jewel is a Cyrvan wing designation, note that it's always composed of Aestivals.
Cyrvans name wings like that.
"Archangel" would be a good code name for GA (or anything acting as a command center for them), if they used such names.
-
Misuzu/Crystal: How do you think hum- Terrans would fare, in an inverted JGASF (or maybe Isa's fleet)? I mean well, mostly Cyrvans and only a few Terrans.
-
So, Isa. What color is the ship you command?
(http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/1461/isaneutral.png)
"What makes you think I only command a single ship?"

(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1761/crystala.png)
"Seraphim, Cherubim and Ophanim are commonly used in all JGASF battle groups to designate Terran wings. Paragon, Jewel and Gem are used for Cyrvan wings. Each JGASF also have a few unique wing names for special occasions.
Battle roles assigned to a wing name will vary between operations, though in general Seraphim tends to be used for light and medium fighters while Cherubim is often reserved for heavy and bomber tasks. "
And because of all this I'm starting Isa's official fans club, who's in for some treat? :P

Isa: Since you are obviously on a Cyrvan ship I assume you were present in repelling (I'm pretty sure the Cyrvan were able to repell them) the Hertaks diversonary attacks on Cyrvan space.
Can you give us a bit more detail on the forces that attacked there? Which vassals were sent? Did the Hertak contribute some Armageddons? And have you been able to follow their route of attack back to it's source yet?

You'll be able to find out all the details in WoD2, so I'm not going to tell you anything here because I hate redundancy."
Misuzu/Crystal: How do you think hum- Terrans would fare, in an inverted JGASF (or maybe Isa's fleet)? I mean well, mostly Cyrvans and only a few Terrans.

We sense...something. Something ancient. A sickly smell...a chilling wind. My ancestors scream from within their chambers in my mind. But I cannot understand their words. This feeling...a memory? It sickens us. And for the first time in our lives...for the first time in generations, we fear.

She would have no problems with crushing a human's feelings.
However, I don't know of any good reason why Cyrvans in general, even the most closed-minded ones would have anything against terran gastropods.

Misuzu/Dawn: Why didn't you use the half-drive on the Ray Mk.I to latch onto the
full-drive Ray Mk.III's Starlance drive? Were they incompatible? Did the Ray Mk.III lack the reactor requirements to do it? Were you two both a bit air-headed to remember?
-
I always assumed that the half-drive only worked on actual starlance-jumps (ie intersystem), while Misuzu wanted to make an intrasystem jump back to the GA.
And interfacing 100 year old technology with new technology in the field doesn't sound easy to me in the first place.
There would also be the possibility that a half-drive can only be coupled with full-drives that were build so support the coupling. Since Humans have long since stopped to equip ships with half-drives, they wouldn't have any reason to add such a feature into their ships.

Misuzu, what do you think of those mind-controlled catgirl ears that were invented back in the 21st Century?
-
Related to that question above, did they suddenly gain sentience sometime between now and then and started reverse-controlling the user, making her (and the odd he; you never know) believe she was an actual catgirl?
Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes, please say yes, please say yes.
-
And finally, following the line of questioning above, were the theories about the purpose of said control true, and once the amount of mind-controlled Catgirls hit critical mass, did they start a universe shattering war of genocide and have to be wiped out?

Impossible. Nobody would kill a catgirl.

Hey man, between them or us, I'd rather the creature that doesn't **** in gravel and bury it become the next ruling species in the universe.

And Crystal, from a purely artistic perspective. Your (I'm sure its unauthorized) steam pic does highlight your amazing beauty, although I personally prefer your same beauty in your normal uniform shots. Much less intrusive and adds that specific authority flare. Have you considered any modeling and/or what is the Cyrvan opinion on modeling in that sense? (clothed uniform shots, official)

Isa:
At frist I would like to apologize for the obvious rudeness of other questions already asked (if you didn't know asking a woman her age is actually considered a transgession against the social norm in some terran cultures).
Some of my kin often forget their proper education when confronted with a woman of such beauty and obvious intellectual sophistication such as you.
If there is any way to make up for any offense you might have taken, I would be happly to oblige.
Now if you would please endulge me with the answers to a few question I've been saveing for a competent member of Cyvrian Star Armada; Since until now appearently only Crystal was avalible to comment such matters I had supressed my own curiosity:
a) How do the Cyvrians maintain morale in comabt units during prolonged campaigns? - An article I read on the training methods of the CSA suggested that no military drill was necessary to form effective fighting units as each and every member of an unit knows their respective assignment and dedicates her-/himself to said assignment. However what happens if a weak link in the unit shows itself due to say battle fratigue?
b) Since most of the CSA is de-mobilized in peacetime (as non-defensive military duty is strictly voluntary) how is guaranteed that all combat units are fully ready when they are call upon? Are there routine training exercises?
c) Since I've never seen more than a few glimpses of a single example Cyvrian warships in action which suggested that ship favour maneuvibility and omni-directional weapon arrays over a strong front firing arc, I have been left to wonder how the CSA controls bottlenecks of the stellar battlefield such as Starlances?
If you don't mind I'd like to ask you another question which is of a rather hypothetical nature:
d) If you had been in the place of Fer'opal during the final stage of the Terran-Cyvrian war, would you have used the same strategy (retreating from Sol, regrouping with other fleet elements in Lyrae) or would you have chosen a different set of actions to combat the LSF?
And just a passing curio:
Could you recommend me a good example of Cyvrian literature and/or philosophy? (For what as come to my attention Crystal might not serve as an authority on this subject either....)
-
To any:
Does the LSF have contingency plans should they go to war with the CSA again, and viceversa?
-
To any:
Does the LSF have contingency plans should they go to war with the CSA again, and viceversa?
Building on this, because it is interesting, how would the two sides fare in a conventional conflict should another war occur? IIRC the Cryvans easily held the upper hand in the first conflict, has the LSF learned anything from this?
-
Hmm...would they really, really want to have contingency plans? They've barely managed this fragile peace, held together by the end of the war and the Joint Academy. To have contingency plans would be quite an insult, at any level because the LSF isn't what it used to be during the five-year war, making extreme breakthroughs. But war drives progress, I suppose they'd have some sort of contingency because of those mad scientists. It's kinda sad to think that Cyrva would do nothing and watch as Earth is destroyed, due to Cyrvan law. I'm sure a few Cyrvans would do all they help, but...who knows.
What does Isa think? Because Crystal was the one who blew up the Hertak Flagship, so she did help the LSF out...a lot.

Of course, the Hertak were a threat to the Cyrva too.
-
Well, I'm basing my assumption on a theoretical situation that someone attacks only the LSF, charging forth, blitzing for Earth.
-
There will be one or more contingency plans.... both sides maybe at peace but they are not friend through and through (remembering a xenophobic someone in the JGASF?)
but they won't be called "Plan X to counter Cyvrian Invasion" but "random plan X what do when random aliens invade from the direction of the Cyvrian border" for the sake of peace (quite like all military strategy of the Federal Republic of Germany in the 1950's wasn't anti-sovijet at all - it just involved destroying all traffic ways allowing easily to progress with an army from east to west and then falling back to the western boarder and waiting for the French (and other NATO-allies of course) to arrive as reinforcements, all by conincidence)
IIRC the Cryvans easily held the upper hand in the first conflict
Actually you are wrong ... though technologically superior, the structure of the CSA lead to them not getting reinforcements and would have allowed LSF (which was hurting bardly) to turn the conflict (if they wouldn't have been decapacitated in a pre-emptive strike) into an war of attrition which the CSA couldn't win (the "whole military service outside Cyvrian boarders is voluntary"-part at its finest ;) )
The CSA would have won the war though IF the commander hadn't ordered all ships to regroup (and found a solution to the no reinforcements problem) - I personally would have ordered most of the fleet to regroup and ordered a few vessels (with the most supplies, the best crews etc.) to fight behind enemy lines and cripple their infastructure - leaving part of the enemy fleet with the task of hunting those ships down and so weakening the force that I'd have to face eventually just because my enemy would not be able to affort pulling ships away from his hinterlands
Oh and I would have made that fast decapitating strike before regrouping my fleet.... but this all some pointless hypothesis...
-
Hmm...would they really, really want to have contingency plans? They've barely managed this fragile peace, held together by the end of the war and the Joint Academy.
You answered your own question there. 'Fragile peace'.
Both sides would be mad to not have plans should it break.
Remember Operation Unthinkable and the Color-coded War Plans? Better to be safe than sorry.

"When a crew member starts showing the first signs of a degrading mental state he or she is quickly cycled out with a member from a fleet in reserve. Thankfully the CSA is not so starved for manpower that we are forced to continue using personel beyond their breaking point. "
b) Since most of the CSA is de-mobilized in peacetime (as non-defensive military duty is strictly voluntary) how is guaranteed that all combat units are fully ready when they are call upon? Are there routine training exercises?
"Unforunately there are none. This personally irks me somewhat but unforunately I'm not in any position to change this."

"CSA starships certainly have excellent overal coverage, this does not exclude strong forward firepower however. Quite the opposite actually, as both the Breaker and the Starlight class ships possess more power than a Terran Challenger.
The CSA prefers agile mobile warfare over static defenses, so while automated defenses are set up around Starlance exits, the actual fleet to fleet engagements are fought at our time and choosing in system."
If you don't mind I'd like to ask you another question which is of a rather hypothetical nature:
d) If you had been in the place of Fer'opal during the final stage of the Terran-Cyvrian war, would you have used the same strategy (retreating from Sol, regrouping with other fleet elements in Lyrae) or would you have chosen a different set of actions to combat the LSF?
"While in hindsight it is easy to critize High Admiral Fer'opal for some of his decisions, you have to keep in mind that he was making decisions based on a very limited understanding of how the Terran government operates and at the time the sheer size of LSF space was severly underestimated.
The one major thing I would have done differently: I would have made the IO shipsyards in Sol the highest priority. During the final stage of the war this massive shipyard was producing as much as 80% of all LSF equipment. Even the most stubborn Terran would have realized that fighting a war of attrition would have been hopeless without those shipyards. "

Isa:
Thank you for answering my questions - even that pointlessly hypothetical one about the Terran-Cyvrian War (I'm sorry but I could not resist to ask your opinion).
"No offense taken, at least it's reassuring to see that there are still Terrans who know how to show poper decorum on occasions."
Yes, I fear the proper discipline and education have fallen out of fashion these days. Just because it was those virtues that helped to the greatest attrocities of terran history.
The Cyvrians are turely blessed to have never seen the monsters that can be created once the psyche turns its greatest achivments to plunge itself into the depth of barabrism.
"I must add that I appreciate that you see through Crystal's little shroud of fame just because she was in the right position at the right time. It was indeed wise that you waited, so you could ask these questions to an actual competent soldier."
You flatter me.
But every man with half a brain and a set of good eyes could seperate one blessed by the universe's n-dimensional toss of the m-faced coin form a true achiver. And considering I was able to read through your military record.... *stops* Oh, please believe me that I'm deply sorry for the intrusion but I had to do my research to be sure.
(To make up for my transgression I'll send you data that will allow you to track down that black market trader who sold it to me as soon as the opportunity arises; I believe he had a lot more in stock about your person than just that file. - Oh, and before you ask the file was authentic; I can't tell for sure about those other items as well... they were of a rather secondary priority to me at best. I'm too much a man of the mind.)
On a side note:
Out of passing curiosity I originally intended to use that file the create a statistical model that would have placed you in Crystal's place. However somewhere during the initial set-up I came to the conclusion that no mathematical model could ever match you in person; it'd fail at every turn: your great insight, your sound judgement and last put not least your charming looks would never have been reflected by the machine running through all the equations.
"A book that was only recently released has quickly managed to become my favorite piece of literature, it's called: 'Galaxy domination for dummies, a ten step guide for the Cyrvan race to conquer and rule all other known sentient races'. It might be somewhat hard to come by though, it's rather controversial."
Curious that someone would write a book about the subject....
It would be easier (with a large enough control group of course) to read it directly from the genome of a Her... *stops* Oh, I forgot, the Cyvrians have denied themselves the high persuit of Genetics.
I hope you do not take offense that I've even mentioned this taboo of your culture. And please don't think of me as somekind of monster for talking of a quest of knowledge your people have rejected for their reasons.
In a galaxy of like this, those with pure motives just don't have the liberty of choosing the purest means to see their ideals blossom to beauty in material perfection - Wouldn't you agree?
If you would still indulge me another time, I've just aquired said book - a digital copy of a first edition volume. Maybe after I have finished reading would you care to initiate me into the controversy about it in the Cyvrian society?
With with all the best wishes,
0rph3u5
ps. I'm about to ask Crystal a question, you might want to listen in - I think you would enjoy the resulting dialogue in full ;)
Crystal:
Just out of a passing curiosity:
Was there a way to destroy the Hertak flagship that didn't involve disinitegrating their entrie ruling caste? Surely both LSF and CSA would have had a use for prisoners of war...
Tempest:
Do you know what could earn you a lot of money? - Selling me Dawn's complete medical record; there should be a copy stored somewhere in the 1st JGASF's data-net... All you need is to access it with your authorisation code and foward it to me...
-
I'll try to remember what they are called when they can wage a war against us without having to resort to flying suicide bombers into our ships."
Ouch. Well, I suppose the LSF might have eventually won the first war if it had kept up, but it would have damn well hurt them. I'm still curious to see how they would fare today.
Thanks for pointing that out 0rph3u5, I should've brushed up on the fiction first.

Right...Isa or Crystal, I'm not sure whom to ask but I have a hypothetical situation: In a Cyrvan system being invaded by a hostile force. A CSA and LSF fleet is present to defend the system. What would be the deployment? Would the Cyrvans allow the Terran fleet to sit there blockading the node (what they do best, at least they think they do) with Cyrvan automated defenses, while the CSA fleet sits somewhere in-system with their jump drives charged, for mobile warfare?
Would the LSF fleet have command of their ships, or is everything regulated by the CSA, i.e. dragging Skirmishers and Challengers along with the CSA ships jumping all over the place? Will the LSF fleet be able to call on CSA support (MCWS/shock jumping-short staying duration Cyrvan capital beam barrage before jumping out again)?
Starlight-class and Breaker-class ships...damn, that'll be so awesome. (http://i728.photobucket.com/albums/ww286/TSADestiny/WoD/Sutaraitobureikaaaaaaaaaa.jpg)

Orpheus you forget something very important: Infis sacrifice!
If the ship hadn't been blown up there and then, without a minute to spare, the Hertak flagship would have gotten away to a place were it would have been untouchable and all those Armageddon ships would have wiped out the entire LSF fleet followed shortly by every Human colony. Since the CSA was tied down, no help would have come from that side, so if Crystal hadn't done what she did, the Human race would either be extinct of a thrall race of the Hertak.

It is so "nice" how you defend your so-not-worth-that-loyality-heroine by citing another failure she could be held to accountable for...
-
Infi went against all orders she had and even teleported Dawn, who was supposed to be the pilot and thus in controll of the prometheus frame, away. How can that be Crystals fault?
And I'm not "defending my heroine". I'm stating facts.
Isn't this just another justification for a risk you were not willing to take despite the expected pay-offs?
Let's do a little risk vs. gain analysis.
Risk: Annihilation of the local colony (millions of people, including old, infirm and children), possilbe annihilation or enslavement of the entire Human race
Benefit: Knowledge of genetic manipulation, which is outlawed and thus would bring no benefit.
So.... explain to me why the possible annihilation of the Human race and the absolutely unavoidable annihilation of a colony with millions of innocents is an acceptable risk for a very small chance of getting next to useless information.
Also flying a single fighter into corridors the Hertak though completely save because of a massive amount of gunturrets is quite another thing from boarding a ship with thousands of infantry (if they even had enough troopers in range), subdueing the crew and fortify the ship against the inevitable reinforcements that will come in from the surrounding Armageddons.
Your scenario of conquering the Hertak flagship is just plain unrealistic and the risks FAR outweight any possible gain from such an action.
Sorry if those hard facts interfere with your personal witchhunt, though I can't help but wonder how your Crystal bashing is supposed to let the Cyrvans see the good sides in Humanity. I mean would you trust a species that shows it's gratitude by verbally attacking a person who was instrumental in preserving their continued existance (or at least freedom)?
-
To any Cyrvan in general: From the individuals we've seen in this thread, there are a variety of hair colours: black, bright green, bright red and white. Do Cyrvans naturally have such a variety of hair colours, and if so, what other colours can there be?
-
Something just occured to me.
To Cyrvans:
What is your race's reproduction rate like? With such long life spans, I would think your population would have exploded far past planetary tolerance long before you invented space travel.
Back in the 20th century of the old human calendar, thanks to a number of medicinal advances, the average human lifespan increased by something like 20 or 30 years and our population grew to the point that some countries began instituting population restriction laws. I can't imagine what effect a centuries-long lifespan would have.
Oh, and another question: what kind of lifespan do hybrids (Terran/Cyrvan) have? Is it somewhere in between or do they tend to inherit one race's lifespan over the other?
-
Perhaps as they live longer, their gestation periods are longer too. Doesn't make much sense biologically, but possible anyway.
To save the Cyrvan females from such an ordeal, they just put some DNA and SCIENCE in a tube and let the magic flow.

I never said anything about CAPTURING that ship - I said BOARDING as in going aboard, catching your prize and getting the hell out of there... (which was already worked once?)
And I don't stated it was wrong to destroy the Hertak flag ship - I just said it could have been of strategic value to steal something or capturing a hostage from that ship

Did you ever hear the term "negative reinforcement"? - I'm rousing you to take sides by outlining the one you possilbly cannot take (that's what I meant by "playing 'the ends justify the means'")
How can that be Crystals fault?
I'm dismantling that argument on purpose (I even stopped bringing arguments) ... just another step to ensure that negative reinforcement takes root...

It happens occasionally....
Edited for a missing 't'
-
You happen occasionally, Norbert?
I don't think Cyrvans are actually that horny compared to humans, so...yeah.
On the Hertak flagship thingy - There is nothing of value to get from the Hertak flagship, and trying to board it would be wasting thousands of lives and precious time bought by Infi's sacrifice. Crystal's Queen rescue is much different case than the one we're presenting. Crystal was in a MCWS with Cordi supplied intelligence, for Cyrva's sake.
...plus the arresting field wasn't going to last forever. I'd do a comparison, but it seemed kinda dumb so I won't.
-
BTW even a simple boarding is suicidal. There should be some Royal Guard or something. And if you remember, the Hertak are able to pass their skills and experience on the childrens. In this case, the Royal Guard (if they exist) is a badass army and should be superior as the boarding party dudes . Besides that, they are fighting to ensure the royal family is secure. And even if they captured Hertak technology which is superior to the LSF and Cyrva technology.....
Simply said, the Cyrva wouldn't be amused about terrans possessing such technology.
-
I wonder what's making Orpheus so rage-y. Crystal is (somewhat) cute and I guess, nice, but he must really wanna go 'rawr I be antagonist!' and point out bad things.
Oh and if there's turrets in that shaft and the reactor room (seriously, weapons in your reactor room = bad, no matter how you think about it), there's bound to be turrets in the ship as well. Plus that ship is huge! How would you know your way in a foreign ship. Deadly's right, attempting any boarding is suicidal and utterly pointless.
Also time. Every minute wasted means another LSF ship exploding, and closer to the flagship jumping out and Infi's sacrifice wasted.
I wonder if I should side with Isa or Crystal, hmm...

"On average a Cyrvan couple tends to have between one and three childeren. If we had originated on a small planet like Earth, overpopulation would certainly have been an issue. However Cyrvadia is around 2.73 times the size of Earth and unlike your blue planet, Cyrvadia's oceans only cover around 40% of the surface. We had plenty of space to grow.
On the other question, there are currently no known hybrids older than 50 years. So its not yet known what age they could reach."

To all.
I have noticed several recent references to the higher levels of Cyrvan Government/Military structure, how do they differ to Terran organisation?
My next question goes back a few pages
kind of like a family crest/war banner? Do the families only have one design per family or can they very depending on success, social/military position, gender, personal preference?
(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/4351/crystalneutral.png)
"One design per family is the most common yes, and they usually do not change much. Though my sister often adds an extra stripe for... eh, some reason. I'm personally happy with having just one simple stripe, there are some Hyalj designs that take like ten minutes to apply."
I presume Isa is the sister referred to, so Isa if that is the case is there a reason for this that you care to enlighten us with?

On that note, there is no such thing as a Cyrvan grunt. 'Grunt' is such a crude terran definition.
He might have meant "grunt" as in "trooper". At least in US Army/Marines, foot soldiers in general are called that. It once was derogatory, but now it's not.

I've never heard Grunt used to describe our infantrymen once.

This time around, I definitely prefer humans...
-

OK, Perhaps this meaning is less common than I thought and restricted to millitary slang.
-
Foot soldiers are only called that in the Covenant.
-
I've never heard Grunt used to describe our infantrymen once.
OK, Perhaps this meaning is less common than I thought and restricted to millitary slang.
I mean I haven't heard it in the four years I've spent in the U.S. Army, spent most of it with a good number of people who were current and former infantry, usually they call everyone Soldiers or Battles if they're talking about people they worked with a lot.
-
Ah, perhaps I confused the armies then. :)
-
Crystal blushed! We're saved! But hmm...in today, we don't have the soldiers and size of humanity to call soldiers grunts. Maybe China does, but...until we are an intergalactic empire, no grunts...yet.
But I noticed on the grunt thingy Isa's expression changed...a bit. Like a more serious tone...but it's good that Isa isn't leaving her new...servants alone!
...so...how does the oceans of Cyrvadia affect the Cyrvan culture/lifestyle/technological progress? As you know, 71% of Earth's surface is water, so we've had much to fear, learn and exploit from it. I bet it means the Cyrvans don't have awesome beaches and stuff like Earth does all over the place! But then again, that 40% of ocean from Cyrvadia could very well be 80%+ of Earth's ocean...
Oh and, does Cyrvadia have a terrestrial navy, army and airforce? I'm just curious, because I'm a staunch supporter that hybrid air/space (exception of the variable fighters!) fighters don't perform as well as pure air superiority fighters. My guess is that the navy is small, because Cyrvadia doesn't have a lot of ocean. The army would be...well, small too, because they don't like close quarters combat and because of their doctrine, orbital control equates to control over the planet. I guess the airforce would be the tiny as well, though fighters should be capable of delivering air-to-space missiles by N.C.145 or something, and even exceed escape velocity.
-
Crystal, given the significantly greater dimensions of Cyrvadia itself in relation to Earth, how can you explain the phyique of the Cyrvan race? And if the case is that the density of the planet is much less than that of Earth per unit area, isn't Cyrvadia rather lacking in mineral resources? Heavy metals and industral resources tend to be rather massive elements, after all.
-
Actually, most of the planet's mass is located far deeper than it's possible to mine anything. Planet's core can have rather low density, but crust can still be rich in minerals. I think that it's plausible that G on Cyrvadia is about 10.1 m/s or something like that. More than on Earth, but not so you'll notice after a space trip.
-
Oh and, does Cyrvadia have a terrestrial navy, army and airforce?
Do your research - the CSA has no ground forces due to their military doctrine...
Inside the box:
To anyone with command level access:
How is the total cost of supplying and outfitting the Guardian Angel per sortie compared with a CSA or LSF ship in a similar role?
To the Cyvrans:
1) You all appear to come from Cyvra, leaving me to wonder how high the ratio of officers and crew from Desa is...
2) If you are in command of a fighting unit: How hard was the competition is each of your classes for the "command spot"?

I've no idea what's going on actually, maybe if you could clarify things. Yes, I've done my research. Having entirely no soldiers on the ground or even a tank, would spell doom for a Cyrvan city if someone manages to land a dropship in the midst. That's why I'm even asking.

CSA military doctrine set space control equal to surface control1; so having a fleet in orbit makes it redundant to deploy troops on the surface
... and due to their cultural background a Cyvrian city would surrender to landing dropship before hit would touch the ground2

2 see "The Cyvran" in techroom - "They [...] will take all possible measures to avoid injury"

in #378 I overstated the negative side of the impression I'd of Cyrstal after playing WoD (I really got somesort of 50-50 impression of her ... sometimes she's is undoubtable capable and in other situations she is turely lacking many of skills a commanding officer requires) and took it to the extreme
I wouldn't say that she is turely lacking some skills of a commanding officer. She has a lack of experience that time. I mean, do you want to encounter those Hertak Armageddons during your first assignments? Or even the flagship? And she wasn't able to handle all of those casualties inflicted by the Hertak. Such situations are difficult to handle, even for Crystal.*
(Despite proving BoE situations before)
-
I've no idea what's going on actually, maybe if you could clarify things. Yes, I've done my research. Having entirely no soldiers on the ground or even a tank, would spell doom for a Cyrvan city if someone manages to land a dropship in the midst. That's why I'm even asking.
...that's a very big IF, to emphasize the theoretical possibility of getting past a Cyrvan fleet.
Remember also that their fighters have a mech mode
Hmm...iiyaaaaaa...that's a pretty good point, but...I suppose MCWSes are put to better use doing bombing runs on the dropships and the enemy infantry/vehicles/tanks than going to ground combat. Adamantium should be capable of handling atmospheric reentry.
CSA military doctrine set space control equal to surface control1; so having a fleet in orbit makes it redundant to deploy troops on the surface
... and due to their cultural background a Cyvrian city would surrender to landing dropship before hit would touch the ground2
1 - The CSA can't utilize/secure a planet without landing on it. What, tell the LSF to come and fight (the ground war) and let them build the factories and resource mines? Cyrvans probably aren't used to how Terrans do their stuff on the ground, let alone trust them to build stuff on the planet they conquered. There's a limit of how much orbital control and bombardment can do. You can't expect to rely on a Divine Buster to destroy a secret infiltration team in a shootout at the perimeter of a theoretical Cyrvan base without leveling the base as well.
2 - I seriously doubt the Cyrvans would surrender a city when a dropship is approaching from 10km away. Depending on the planet/moon, there certainly would be at least one MCWS ready to burst out of the city and nail the dropship with Malachyye Missile Massacre. I don't believe the Cyrvans would surrender. At least Isa won't.
...right, Isa?
-
The dropship wouldn't even reach the orbit if Isa is the one commanding the defense of the city/planet.
(Of course, I think she's more an aggressive type, she attacks instead of defend. Must be the red hair.)
-
The dropship wouldn't even reach the orbit if Isa is the one commanding the defense of the city/planet.
(Of course, I think she's more an aggressive type, she attacks instead of defend. Must be the red hair.)
I totally agree on that, Deadly. Although, I'm basing my theory on an unnamed Cyrvan commander. If not, Isa arriving in system and assuming command after the dropship(s) enters the atmosphere.
-
...that's a very big IF, to emphasize the theoretical possibility of getting past a Cyrvan fleet.
If you can't muscle your way in, sneak your way in. Use stealth ships.
Remember also that their fighters have a mech mode
Bunker up in a building that looks solid and important, and wait until they land.
Then pop up the ATGMs. I'm sure they will be able to defeat Adamantium by then.
-
Speaking of civilian injuries and terrible damage....
Isa and Crystal: What are your opinions about "collateral damage"? You know what I mean. What is in your opinion "collateral damage?"
Other question (every Cyrvan can answer to this): The military seems to be on a pure voluntary basis. But what if Cyrva itself is going to be attacked?
-
Surrendering is nice if the enemy plays along, but what if the enemy is just bent on slauthering everything that doesn't belong to their species (or their Thralls) to set an example for other species as to what happens when they try to resist?
And you just can't repell all attackers before they reach the surface. Jumping directly into the atmosphere might be risky, but as we saw in WoD 1 it's possible and the Hertak and their Thralls can somehow jump even inside of inhibitor fields. So a sufficiently determined (or crazy) enemy can't be held off from the surface and thus ground troops are necessary, unless you are willing to bomb your own planet back into the stoneage to annihilate the enemy landing troops.
To not have any kind of ground forces is just suicidal. And to say that orbital controll equals surface controll is just delusional.
-
All this obsession with Cyrvans when there's a perfectly good Misuzu Dawn around.
(^_^) :3
fyp, etc.
-
Other question (every Cyrvan can answer to this): The military seems to be on a pure voluntary basis. But what if Cyrva itself is going to be attacked?
This is answered in the tech room, actually. Out-of-territory missions are purely voluntary, but if Cyrvan territory is invaded, all available defense assets are called in. Not voluntary in that case.
-
The mere fact Cyrvans use MCWS suggests some sort of doctrine of ground combat.
-
Or that they really like mechs. If they really wanted ground power, the fighter would transform into a tank.
-
Or we could just ask Crystal or Isa about it. This is the thread to do so, after all.
Crystal, was a tank form ever considered for Cyrvan MCWS? If so, why was it rejected? Why was the mech form ultimately chosen?
-
Or that they really like mechs. If they really wanted ground power, the fighter would transform into a tank.
Unless you're going to MS Gundam it up, there's really no point in giving it feet unless you expect it to walk.
And even in the AMBAC context, you don't necessarily need feet or hands.
-
Maybe one of the winged ones had a vision about the Hertak and thus made sure Crystal would have the means to rescue the Coordi Queen ;)

I believe Cyrvans prioritize shielding and maneuverability over being a thick wall. Plus, if a blocky MCWS would look really bad compared to something like this. (http://danbooru.donmai.us/data/de14225800b41825fe8e2fef7d39021f.jpg)

Here you go, a comparison. (http://i728.photobucket.com/albums/ww286/TSADestiny/Comparison.jpg) I'm not comparing the mecha modes, because the Aestival's based on the GM.

They look a bit more similar than I thought they would, though I prefer the blockier design of the Aestival, since that other thing looks like it has too many structurally weak parts that could be shot off easily, and the Aestival is already pushing things in that regard itself. (Just out of curiosity, what is that other ship/mech anyway?)
I'm still trying to figure out exactly how an Aestival transforms into a GM Knock-off, though :nervous:
-
Oh believe me, the more flashy/has lots of things on a ship in an standard anime, the stronger it is. Just generalization and not universal truth, but...yeah. (That ship is known as a 'QT-ARMS', named Star Slyph. I suppose Spoon derived the Aestival from it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was entirely original.)
Well, the way the Aestival transforms definitely is different from the Star Slyph, because it retains the ring. From the M20 video, I suppose the cockpit block of the Aestival folds down and pops up the GM head from the hull...that's the only thing I know that is possible with 21st century (not anime!) physics, because the Aestival can't phase through itself...maybe the ring recombines or something, or the thrusters are detachable, or something like ultracompactness. If Macross can do ultracompactness at that level, I'm not surprised stuff in the Spooniverse CSA can't. Hell, their ships are giant QT-ARMS, which is evidently epic.
Maybe you should ask Crystal how the Aestival transforms? (Because this should be put in the WoD discussion topic, haha.)
Although, I do have some questions myself...Crystal once said information on CSA stuff was classified, but I'm going to throw a wrench into a bush and ask. Is the Aestival shieldless, to improve on it's stealth? Shield energy/entire theory of shielding/shield generators might have detectable signatures or somethingy.
-
To all.
I have noticed several recent references to the higher levels of Cyrvan Government/Military structure, how do they differ to Terran organisation?
(http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/1461/isaneutral.png)
"The Cyrvan government consists of ten circles. The 10th circle being the largest with thousands of people in it and he 1st circle the smallest with only a handful of elders and high admirals in it. This convulted system works like this: Let's say for example that there is a project proposed for a large park in a city on the planet Desa. The 10th circle will examine and discuss this project and eventually votes on it. A majority vote is reached and the project is greenlit. In 90% of the cases this is where it ends. However there are cases where someone in the 9th circle is completely opposed to spending resources on this project and he/she can ask for a vote to have a vote about this project for the 9th circle. This could potentially mean that the 9th circle can veto the project. Which often in turn leads to lobbying to get the 8th circle to take a look at it. And so forth.
This becomes increasingly annoying when it comes to military funding and operations, as a circle consists of both military personnel and civilians. To elaborate on that a bit more: A High Captain in active frontline service is eligible to be in the 8th circle but is not part of the active decision making until he/she resigns from active service and takes a political military 'deskjob'. This does not go for Rear Admirals and higher, they are expected to be able to lead and do paper work at the same time.
The 5th circle is a special case as only winged ones are in it. "
I presume Isa is the sister referred to, so Isa if that is the case is there a reason for this that you care to enlighten us with?
"I do not care to enlighten you about this."
...so...how does the oceans of Cyrvadia affect the Cyrvan culture/lifestyle/technological progress? As you know, 71% of Earth's surface is water, so we've had much to fear, learn and exploit from it.
"I figure its about the same, but I admit that I'm not all that well versed on the subject."
Oh and, does Cyrvadia have a terrestrial navy, army and airforce? I'm just curious, because I'm a staunch supporter that hybrid air/space (exception of the variable fighters!) fighters don't perform as well as pure air superiority fighters. My guess is that the navy is small, because Cyrvadia doesn't have a lot of ocean. The army would be...well, small too, because they don't like close quarters combat and because of their doctrine, orbital control equates to control over the planet. I guess the airforce would be the tiny as well, though fighters should be capable of delivering air-to-space missiles by N.C.145 or something, and even exceed escape velocity.
"The Navy was disbanded many many years ago. Ships have no where to hide and are just sitting ducks when orbital bombardment comes into play. The Spaceforce doubles as the Airforce, MCWS' are all equipped with anti gravity drives and inertia cancellers and thus perform just as well in the atmosphere as in space. For that matter they are also the primary force on the ground in mech form. We have yet to see the day in which a hostile force sets foot on one of our planets, so until that day happens our ground forces are very likely to remain as small as they are now."
Crystal, was a tank form ever considered for Cyrvan MCWS? If so, why was it rejected? Why was the mech form ultimately chosen?
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1761/crystala.png)
"Because of the neural interface our craft operate on. In mech form a MCWS acts just like a large suit of powered armor. A tank certainly has a edge over a mech in battle on a open field, however the advantage goes to a mech in urban combat. And we think that the majority of ground combat would be fought inside cities and such."
Crystal, given the significantly greater dimensions of Cyrvadia itself in relation to Earth, how can you explain the phyique of the Cyrvan race? And if the case is that the density of the planet is much less than that of Earth per unit area, isn't Cyrvadia rather lacking in mineral resources? Heavy metals and industral resources tend to be rather massive elements, after all.
"Eeeeh, you want me to explain why Cyrvans and Terrans look alike? It's a mystery of this universe.
Cyrvadia is/was pretty abundant in mineral resources actually. Also, gravity on Cyrvadia is 0.93 compared to Earth."
To anyone with command level access:
How is the total cost of supplying and outfitting the Guardian Angel per sortie compared with a CSA or LSF ship in a similar role?
"About 10% more than outfitting a LSF Champion class. This is mostly due to the additional costs of accommodating CSA equipment."
To the Cyvrans:
1) You all appear to come from Cyvra, leaving me to wonder how high the ratio of officers and crew from Desa is...
2) If you are in command of a fighting unit: How hard was the competition is each of your classes for the "command spot"?
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/935/isal.png)
"Competition? Surely you jest.
What do you base your assumption that everyone is from Cyrvadia on?"
I don't believe the Cyrvans would surrender. At least Isa won't.
...right, Isa?
"Surrendering becomes an option when every beam emitter is burned out and every missile has been fired. Until then I expect everyone of my crew to fight until their last breath.
Alas I do not speak for every Cyrvan."
Speaking of civilian injuries and terrible damage....
Isa and Crystal: What are your opinions about "collateral damage"? You know what I mean. What is in your opinion "collateral damage?"
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1761/crystala.png)
"Harming Civilian and non combatants should be avoided in all cases."
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/935/isal.png)
"There is no such thing as collateral damage when a goal needs to be achieved."
Maybe one of the winged ones had a vision about the Hertak and thus made sure Crystal would have the means to rescue the Coordi Queen ;)
(http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/2421/crystalc.png)
"Some of them did, but the 'LSF does not act on vague premonitions and dreams of mystery angels'
At least, that's one of the many stories I heard going about after the Hertak retreated back to their own space."
Although, I do have some questions myself...Crystal once said information on CSA stuff was classified, but I'm going to throw a wrench into a bush and ask. Is the Aestival shieldless, to improve on it's stealth? Shield energy/entire theory of shielding/shield generators might have detectable signatures or somethingy.

"It's still classified. But no, that is not the reason."

Yes and Yes (well technically it was the Hazel, but that's just a glorified GM with a Gundam head attached to it). also I can't draw to save my life.

"Surrendering becomes an option when every beam emitter is burned out and every missile has been fired. Until then I expect everyone of my crew to fight until their last breath.

And then you realize you are commanding a very, VERY big solid slug that can do a lot of damage if steered in the right direction: "RAMMING SPEED!"
Unless that's 'so crude, only a Terran would do it'?
"There is no such thing as collateral damage when a goal needs to be achieved."
:yes:
-
Maybe you should ask Crystal how the Aestival transforms? (Because this should be put in the WoD discussion topic, haha.)
Probably should have just done that in the first place, shouldn't I?
To any Cyrvan, are you allowed to go into detail about the transformation process of the Aestival, and if so, how is it done?
-
Hmm, Cyrvans are really, really unique from all the responses I gather. Really interesting. Urban combat, hmm...I suppose the CSA wouldn't mind if the LSF deployed their tanks on the fields and open grounds before a major Cyrvan city/control center/forward outpost,
and let them get slaughtered if a Cyrvan vanguard had prepare a planet for exploitation (if the government orders...)/establish a foothold and there were hostiles from ground and space, when both the LSF and CSA having not secured orbit and land yet?
My bad if the whole idea is a bit foolish, I'm just really curious how well the two factions would work together for a common good/assist each other.

I see too much of Norderan mortality each and every time I take so much as a glance into the WoD universe to really consider interest in their sports. It's almost sad.

Unless you've played it (attached to Aestival vs Terran fighter thread) and actually boosted ahead of the other wings while they're unleashing Malachyye Missile Massacre, nothing like that'll happen. And you're Azure 1, so don't worry.

Oh, damn. I saw 'Firefly' included in the mix of '...new generation heavy assault fighter, good old Hazel bombers' and stuff...must've mistaken.
Oh dang you typos.

Where can I see a male Cyrvan? I mean I just want to see how they look like, so don't get the wrong idea.

Late, I had the wrong idea when I finished reading the question, the clarification afterwards was omitted :P

Considering Cyrvans are elves in space, the only way to distinguish a flat chested female from an actual male is most likely by asking.

Were can you see them? Most likely on Cyrvania or any other of their colonies! :P

Not all of them, but I'm sure there are some. And Terrans confuse them for males all the time.

I assume it would be similar to other humans amongst yourself, however. I think everyone has had moments where it was necessary to pause for a moment to determine if someone was male or female for any reason such as hair or facial configuration if the gender wasn't immediately apparent.

Androgynous Cyrvans wouldn't be far-fetched, but I think Spoon'll draw 'em clear enough.
(Reminds me, I wonder if Luna has any at all, like Crystal's...would be impolite to ask, no?)

Rumiko's Reply: I don't think about such thing,s and neither should you.

Oh come on it's not like he was talking about whether Fura'ngle can reproduce with Terran females.

Do Fura'ngle even have two genders (or just one, or more)?

For anyone: We never saw an atmospheric entry sequence. Do/can spacecraft jump into an atmosphere safely? Do they normally power in with the whole flame-y reentry thing, unpowered flame-y reentry, or some sort of slower method? Are they capable of all of the above, or only some of them?
(http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/249/justicea.png)
"Every vessel with a working shield generator should be capable of direct atmospheric entry. Doing a jump into the atmosphere can be done relatively safely if enough calculations are done before hand. Calculations that take every factor into account and bring the risk close to zero usuall take around one to three hours.
I doubt the Nordera have any concept of this."
And one of the pilots commented about that too, something about jumping into atmosphere carrying a good chance of a reactor overload. They also said the Skirmisher that jumped in to blow up the battleaxe was very reckless for jumping into the atmosphere.
Which naturally brings me to the next question to anyone willing to answer:
Are Cyrvan jumpdrives advanced enough to savely jump into an Atmosphere?
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1761/crystala.png)
"As long as you don't try to jump it into a gas giant, yes."
"Terrans in general or Terran LSF pilots?"
Both.

I've read about the sizes of the ship classes. What is the biggest vessel the CSA possess?
Any terran:
Same question: The biggest LSF ship?
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/935/isal.png)
The flagship of the 1st Order, Ayass Star. It is around 2800 meters in length but it is currently undergoing refits.
(http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/249/justicea.png)
"If I recall correctly the largest LSF ship is currently the 3rd fleet's flagship, which is an altered Knight class ship. Though I heard there's a larger ship in construction for the 2nd fleet."

Hey uhh... Crystal..,
Just wondering if your free sometime?, just for.. you know, a general chat. I would prefer somewhere that isnt classified beyond my clearance though.., that is umm, if you actually have free time.

"They are walking, talking and singing rocks. What do you expect?"
I expect a rock to do nothing at all, so when a rock walks, talks and sings I'd like to know how. But since the only contacts with the Fura'ngle I know of have been in open combat, I guess that information is hard to get by. Did the Cordi pass along any information about the Fura'ngles biology... geology... you know... how they tick.
But since you mentioned singing: Where did you hear a Fura'ngle sing? Did you record it, or can you at least describe it?

To any Terran/Cyrvan:
Have engagements with Armageddon-class vessels changed current war doctrines?

I'm pretty sure Cyrvans have no problems dealing with Armageddons due to their immense shielding and all-around beam superiority, and the CSA military doctrine of maneuver warfare by shock jumping all over the place due to their superior Starlance drives...I'll ask this question to a Cyrvan, yeah.

Seeing a whole ****boat of pulsed beam weapons but very few beams with the behavior used in FS2. The Gigas probably fires more beams than I saw in the entire video.
And I mean the shooping beams, not pew pew beams.
However in hindsight (Brief glances would be seen but animators wouldn't waste their time actually showing it in detail), Macross had four million Zentraedi (True beam fetishists) warships attacking Earth.

Even the (not shown in this video) Raiser sword - or however it's called when the Quan[T] does it - can't really compare in diameter with the Hertak main beams (or BFRed). The Memento Mori beams and the main beam turret of the Celestial Being (as in the ship, not the organisation) might be a different matter though.

The Memento Mori beams and the main beam turret of the Celestial Being (as in the ship, not the organisation) might be a different matter though.
The Quantum Sword is much, much bigger than the Raiser Sword. Had the ELS not distorted it, it could have cut that entire thing in half, and keep in mind that that planetoid was roughly the size of the moon.
But yes, the Veda Particle Beam and the Memento Mori are up there with the Hertak beams. I believe the Memento Mori took out a small country in a single shot at one point.
-
They talk as if the country was taken out, but the visuals "only" show a city destroyed, including the suburbs. And not the entire city was within the confines of the beam itself. The majority was wiped out by the explosion the laser caused and the following shockwave.
Incidentally it looked a lot like the FS1 animation of the Lucifer attacking Vasuda prime... a desert city hit by a massive beam and a shockwave ripping forth to take the "camera" out...
-
To both Cryvan and Terran:
Am I the ONLY person who honestly believes the Hertak are compensating for something with their ships?
Isa, if you've ever seen Terran Anime, Movies, ECT. Was there ever a starship that made you want it?
For me, it was the SDF-1.
Also, were there any human created tactics that impress you or anything?
And last question..Have you read Sun Tzu's Art of War?

In the CSA it's probably Crystal's Art of War, or Isa's Art of Subjugating Terrans :P

Hmmm...I wonder how the average Cyrvan would go in a 1v1 with a Terran...Fast reflexes may be great, but it appears Cyrvans can be pretty fragile. Of course, some peculiar Terrans reckon they can beat a Cyrvan with the power of their mind...

Dawn would surely beat some Cyrvans with their mind I think....

To Dawn: Now that some time has passed, do you feel any more at ease/at home/comfortable with the major differences between your time and the present?. Understandably it is a hard experience, so how have you been coping with the changes up until now. ?
To Crystal: Does Isa have a warm(/fuzzy) side and does she show it often?. (if no), Is it even possible for her to have such a side?
To Isa: Apparently you have a hitlist, how many people are currently on it and how many are still.. kicking?

better coffee
Yes I'm sure it can be fact that one race's coffee is better than the other race's coffee and not opinion.
-
It could be more nutritous (lolwut), then it would be a fact.
-
Relative caffeine content could also be measurably different.

Cyrvans are too refined to drink coffee. They sip tea like true gents.
Or they drink the delicious tears from jealous terrans. The bastards.

To a Cyrvan in the LCSF, IDC who:
There's this new gauntlet sim. Your thoughts?
-
Now imagine that, when I'm not wasting time talking to dumb people about manners on the other side of this fine forum. I can actually take some time to relay these answers from the other side of the universe! (a few questions will be answered later on)
So, Luna/Crystal, have you two managed to wrangle any time with the next generation Terran fighters that are coming out? If so, what did you think of them in comparison to your own race's strike craft?
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1761/crystala.png)
"Well on paper the Ray IV looks like a decent fighter, I've been too busy to fly it myself so I'm afraid I cannot give you a comparison."
(http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/5310/lunabubbles.png)
"I try to avoid flying Terran fighters if I can help it.
What are these bubbles doing here...?"
To any Terran/Cyrvan:
Have engagements with Armageddon-class vessels changed current war doctrines?
What do you think your respective races will develop with the specific role of countering them: faster bombers to be deployed in large quantities, bigger, heavily armed bombers with really powerful bombs, or going Inferno (large warships capable of taking them one-on-one)?
(http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/249/justicea.png)
"Terran capital ship focus has shifted from strong forward firepower dependant on formations to broadside firepower with improved jump mobility.
While Challengers and Skirmishers are capable of taking down an Armageddon with focused fire, it has proven to be extremely costly. Once a battlegroup commits to a take down, they either take the ship down or die trying. The new ship classes have secondary jump drives so they can get jump out if things go south."
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/935/isal.png)
"The question should be, have the Hertak changed any of their war doctrines after encountering us."
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.
(http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/6223/helmetoff.png)
"We're far more advance in genetic research, definitely have better coffee and we make awesome pancakes."
To both Cryvan and Terran:
Am I the ONLY person who honestly believes the Hertak are compensating for something with their ships?
Isa, if you've ever seen Terran Anime, Movies, ECT. Was there ever a starship that made you want it?
For me, it was the SDF-1.
Also, were there any human created tactics that impress you or anything?
And last question..Have you read Sun Tzu's Art of War?
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/935/isal.png)
"Definitely compensating for something.
Can't say I ever did.
Not really.
Again no."
In the CSA it's probably Crystal's Art of War, or Isa's Art of Subjugating Terrans :P
"I like that last one."
To Dawn: Now that some time has passed, do you feel any more at ease/at home/comfortable with the major differences between your time and the present?. Understandably it is a hard experience, so how have you been coping with the changes up until now. ?

"It took me a while, but I've adapted.
Though I'm repeately being told that my jokes are racist or rude for some reason. I guess some things that are acceptable in one time frame are not in an other."

"What are these bubbles doing here...?"
Did you just make your cockpit a bubble bath? Cyrvans sure are advanced.

Hmmm...I wonder how the average Cyrvan would go in a 1v1 with a Terran...Fast reflexes may be great, but it appears Cyrvans can be pretty fragile. Of course, some peculiar Terrans reckon they can beat a Cyrvan with the power of their mind...
(http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/249/justicea.png)
"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."
What happened to the members of the wing the Guardian Angel launched in while recharging its drives in Alpha Draconis before leaving the system, that first time Misuzu got to fly a Caliburn? You know, Fire, Crossfire, and one other guy who whose name had nothing to do with fire?

"Care to be a bit more specific? Which gauntlet sim are you talking about?"
and back to crystal. what are the requirements for immigrating. i would like to know. give myself something to work towards once this damn war is over and us soldiers get to go home.
"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."
-
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.
My first criteria would be the criminal background (or hoprefully lack thereof) followed by language skills and mannerism on an equal basis. Maybe MAYBE a psychological evaluation of the persons tendency towards aggresiveness and/or violence, but never the looks or intelligence.
I mean how would you feel if your told "Sorry, but you are just too stupid and ugly to be allowed on our planet, but we do allow this highly intelligent and goodlooking murderer in."?
-
You know, some things are implied even though they may be left out on the discussion.
-
But in this case nothing at all was implyed. Maybe considered too obvious to mention, but certainly not implyed.
Either way, my comment about it being petty was in accordance to the intelligence tests and the looks and still stands as it is, even if they do consider criminality.
-

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)."

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?... :)

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.

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'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.

"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~"

"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."

To anyone, what do you think of a demolition derby event using captured Nedora fighters?...
-
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:.
-
With simulators I don't see why they'd need painball dogfighting drills.
-
Because if you get hit in the simulator it has only arbitrary consequences, like getting extra duty or somesuch.
But if you get hit in a paintball match and have to clean your own fighter, it a direct result of your flying. So it might help to motivate people better.
Also there is the matter of G-forces. Unless of course LSF fighters come for super-advanced inertial dampners that completely nullify any g-force or their simulators can simulate g-forces too.
Also it's more fun (right up untill they have to clean their fighers at any rate).
-
Kind of like paintball in that way. You have very big motivation of not getting hit because if you do it hurts...
-
Also there is the matter of G-forces. Unless of course LSF fighters come for super-advanced inertial dampners that completely nullify any g-force or their simulators can simulate g-forces too.
LSF could go to CSA's workshop and knock: "Moshi moshi, can I buy your inertial dampeners that you use on your MCWS please?" :P I wonder though, if it's that simple. Crystal'll probably say no.

Do Cyrvans bond for live (i.e. marriage)?
How long is an average Cyrvan pregnancy?
How common are the birth' of twins?
Since Cyrvans live longer than Humans, does that also mean they grow up slower?
At what age is a Cyrvan considered an adult?
Do Cyrvans have an equivalent of adolesence and how does it affect their bodies (pimples, change of voice, ect.)?
At what age do Cyrvans go into retirement?

Oh Dekker, I already feel sorry for you. Nice knowing you, even if I never really did.

You'll have to expand on that statement sil vouz plez.

That's "s'il vous plait", Dekker. Oddly enough, despite misspelling it, you used it correctly in context, as it literally translates to "if you please".
As for what he meant about feeling sorry for you, you'll find out.

"Yes.
Which is a reason why the majority of Cyrvans shy away from engaging in a relation with a Terran with their much shorter life spans.
Around fourteen months.
Very uncommon.
Yes we do.
At the age of thirty, but there are plenty that aren't completely done growing at this age.
No, our growth is a much more steady progress. We do not experience this random burst in growth at a certain age.
Commonly between the age of seven hundred to eight hundred."

"This ability manifests differently for each person, some can look into the nearby future at will, others get vague premonitions in their dreams about events that may occure weeks from now. And the CSA has certainly used this to its advantage in several engagements. Thing is, the future is not set in stone. For example there was once a prediction of a terrible outcome for a fleet engagement. The admiral in charge of the fleet took note of this and changed his strategy. The next day the prediction changed completely, the engagement would not take place at all because the enemy had changed its own plans as well.
During the Cyrvan-Terran war almost all of the long term predictions were useless because the Terrans would often change plans on the fly and improvise as the situation changed."

Is this an honorable discharge, like most militaries today, or a 'you survived this long, you don't deserve jack' discharge, like ancient Sparta's?

All of my money.

oh i have a question and a plea for help to crystal and luna. lets just say if i um . . . managed to git a date with a Cyrvan girl. is there advice that you could give me? such as any think like what would be a proper gift or any cultural taboos that i need to avoid? or wether a date is a casual thing or a formal event.
also do Cyrvan girls like chocolate?
*Luna*
"I like chocolate"
Any specific type? I myself have a soft spot for milk chocolate with truffle filling.
*Crystal*
"Y-you'd have to be romantic I guess. And I think gifts are more of a Terran thing...

If looks could kill.
In any case, given the extreme difference in lifespan, perhaps it would be best not to dwell on any possiblities. I'd imagine having to deal with the fact that any Cyrvan with a human partner would lose them by the time 1/7th or 1/8th of their age has passed, would be rather tough.

I find the expressive ears to be an attractive point, compared to, for example, expressive hair on Human-Zentradi hybrids, or even full Zentradi if they have the size-shifting abilities.

Would asking for an estimated price, or what other features the set includes, be too much?

I was actually asking in general, not specifically about the military. And I think Crystal had that in mind too.
-
well crystal thank you for the advice although it was a little late. but thankfully the fact that all girls love chocolate holds true. one thing thow, the topic came up one a personal level and i never asked about Cyrvans overall views on polygamy? is it common, uncommon, or taboo. also is there anything you can tell me about Desa? abot the couture and the lifestyle of the people there. and if all cyrvan girls are lightweights that need to be carryed home in the evening.
and seeing someone use chopsticks for the first time is allays Hilarius
And my lovers are as countless as the stars...
if you don't mind me asking dose that mean you have had many "active" relationships.
also whats the cyrvan policy on same sex relations on a cardinal level, and are Cyrvans very open about there sexuality?
-
I'm not sure it was already confirmed somewhere, but can Terrans and Cyrvans reproduce together ? If yes, what are the average characteristics (lifespan, physical strength, intelligence, elf ears, possibility of precog and/or winged...) of half-Terran, half-Cyrvan children ? How are they considered by the Terran and the Cyrvan society and do they have a specific name ?
-
It was mentioned that such Hybrids exist, but that so far non of them died of old age, thus their average livespan isn't known yet.
Has anyone ever tried to calculate an approximate livespan of such Hybrids, based on how fast they grow up?

That's really interesting. I want to know too.

Having seen Cyrvan ships, I must agree. They have a lot more raw power (and most likely reactor output). Though they also do have their drawbacks.

A question for the human crew members. Since humans in your era are taller then us in our era, what is the average height for men and for women.

Its more a question about our rate of development and our ability to adapt. In short, what do the Cryvan think about our rate of technological development, particularly in comparison to their own.
hmmmm, which raises another question, in comparison, between Cryvan and humanity, which race has been out in space longer, and by how much longer.
This thread is so much fun :lol:

I just went over some older posts and noticed this one again:
Crystal! What is that blue line on your right cheek? Is it painted on or a tatoo? Does it have any meaning (like Clan or Family or Rank) or is it just adoration?
"It's called Hyalj, the most direct translation would be 'war paint'. Most families have their own variations of it but for the most part it is just decoration. Though there are a few famous examples that have deep spiritual roots in Feryaa."
Now that made me wonder two things:
First: What if Feryaa. Is it a planet (if yes, in what system), a place on a planet (if yes, on which and in which system) or is it the name of a religion?
Second: Cyrvan Religion.
Are there many religions?
Do those religions believe in one god, or several gods, or a semi-sentient universe that created living beings to figure itself out (I wonder if anyone will get that reference...)?
How much influence does religion have on the cyrvan culture and government?
Are there many atheists?
And something mostly unrelated:
I know from earlier answers that Cyrvans have less experience in genetic engineering than the Humans, but what is their moral and ethic stance on the matter? Are there any legal regulations on genetic engineering (like allowing it only to correct genetic illnesses and such)?
-
I thought they disallowed any genetic modifications because they think they are
almost perfect just the way they are and don't need them...you know what Cyrvans are like!... :nervous: although I guess if enough Terrans took up "genetic enhancement" and started to rival the Cyrvans in their prized abilities, along with the possiblilty of mental control over them, those little elves may re-think their stance on this given their attitude towards our "inferior" race......

**INCOMING CODED MESSAGE**
*LOCATION OF ORIGIN -UNKNOWN-*
*CLEARANCE LEVEL -Nu-*
To all crew members:
In both militaries, martial arts must be part of standard training for all frontline personell. I also assume that each species teaches their soldiers a different style. What I would like to know is what each style centres around, if they were implemented by true masters of each art who would win, and if they factor in melee weapons and if so, what kind.
What is the standard equipment loadout of each race's ground troops and ship-to-ship boarding forces? Do you still use projectile small arms? And if so, how do you prevent stray fire from causing explosive decompression during boarding action?
And to Dawn: You didn't seem too bothered in that picture Spoon has of you in the onsen. Are you actually an exhibitionist, and what are the chances of you getting the other WoD girls in on the fun?

Are you seriously asking how they prevent small arms fire from punching through armor that can withstand weapons stronger than nuclear bombs?

looks to be more about how do they stop small arms puncturing the vacuum hull of the target craft during boarding operations. the answer to that with military ships is that the hulls are designed to stop significantly more powerful weapons. civilian ships would be more fragile but i would have thought that anything designed to prevent rupturing from collisions with significant mass should be fairly difficult to puncture with close quarter weaponary and any kind of hull patching foam or force field should be able to patch small arms fire i would have thought

About the ears, that's why I said they looked like a now-prohibited object earlier this year... *quietly hides in a room somewhere...
Lol little Dawn is going to find out what it is like to be Crystal with regards to these Terrans and their fetishes...I guess when you take pictures of yourself in the bathroom and let these Terrans see them...

The outer hull might be strong, but the inner one is squishier. You don't want to hit something delicate with a misfire.

He said "explosive decompression" not "hitting vital systems" and that's what I was taking about too.

I can't be bothered to defend my question from some guy. In the end it's Spoon's response that holds any validity after all.

"Indeed."
I'm not sure it was already confirmed somewhere, but can Terrans and Cyrvans reproduce together ? If yes, what are the average characteristics (lifespan, physical strength, intelligence, elf ears, possibility of precog and/or winged...) of half-Terran, half-Cyrvan children ?

It was mentioned that such Hybrids exist, but that so far non of them died of old age, thus their average livespan isn't known yet.
Has anyone ever tried to calculate an approximate livespan of such Hybrids, based on how fast they grow up?
"Yes they can, they are generally just called Hybrids by Cyrvans. Which I must admit, has a bit of a negative tone to it. And it wouldn't suprise me if Terrans called them 'half-elves'... The majority of Terran planets seem to view Hybrids as a positive thing, my people on the other hand seem to look at them with skepticism.
The appearance of the child seems to depend mostly on what race the mother is. With a Cyrvan mother and a Terran father the child is hard if not impossible to distinguish from a full blood Cyrvan. With a Terran mother and a Cyrvan father the child tends to look more like a 'half' in appearance.
As said before, the lifespan of Hybrids is currently still unknown, they seem to grow at a slightly faster rate than a Cyrvan but still slower than a Terran. But we can't draw too many conclusions from this alone. A winged or precog Hybrid child hasn't happened yet, so this too is unknown at this point."

hmmmm, which raises another question, in comparison, between Cryvan and humanity, which race has been out in space longer, and by how much longer.
"While Terran technology is currently still undeniably far behind that of ours, the rate at which the Terrans are making progress is quite staggering. Some of our scientists are saying that between 75 to 100 years the Terrans may actually be close to our current level of technology and if we don't start making more progress now, they might overtake us in 50 more years. Which would probably hurt the pride of a lot of Cyrvans, considering we've been in space for far longer than the Terrans have..."

"I can't think of any hand carried weapon that could inflict serious enough damage to the hull of a warship."
Now that made me wonder two things:
First: What if Feryaa. Is it a planet (if yes, in what system), a place on a planet (if yes, on which and in which system) or is it the name of a religion?
Second: Cyrvan Religion.

"Feryaa is the name of the only religion we have, it has pretty deep roots in our culture and every day life. The Cyrvan government has for the most part always been about 'practical' things in life and is probably one of the least Cyrvan things influenced by Feryaa.
I do not know of a lot of atheists.
Cyrvan genetic research is for the most part limited to regrowing lost limbs and replacing defect or damaged internal organs. Altering DNA and genes on a deeper level is forbidden by law."
I thought they disallowed any genetic modifications because they think they are almost perfect just the way they are and don't need them...you know what Cyrvans are like!... :nervous: although I guess if enough Terrans took up "genetic enhancement" and started to rival the Cyrvans in their prized abilities, along with the possiblilty of mental control over them, those little elves may re-think their stance on this given their attitude towards our "inferior" race......

A question for the human crew members. Since humans in your era are taller then us in our era, what is the average height for men and for women.
Straight from the techroom: "Thanks to generations of genetic tinkering, Terrans have grown to be a strong and intelligent race. The average life span is around 140 years and signs of old age only start to set in around the 70 year mark. The average male height is between 190-220cm, the average female height tends to variate between 165-200cm"

Too bad I dont have clearance nu, I cant read this post!
Oh, crap.
Zalgo, he comes! :nervous:
-
Hmm, must make sure people can actually read my coded transmissions in the future. FYI: if you want to read it the message, right-click the file, go to properties and untick 'encoded'. Then answer yes when it asks if you are supposed to be reading it.
That was a rather skillful and tactful way of blowing off questions that you seem to not want to answer. Well done good sir.
-
Odd... I see the coded message just fine without doing any of the decoding stuff... any idea why that would be (I have Firefox and Java-Script is activated)?
"Feryaa is the name of the only religion we have, it has pretty deep roots in our culture and every day life. The Cyrvan government has for the most part always been about 'practical' things in life and is probably one of the least Cyrvan things influenced by Feryaa.
I do not know of a lot of atheists.
Cyrvan genetic research is for the most part limited to regrowing lost limbs and replacing defect or damaged internal organs. Altering DNA and genes on a deeper level is forbidden by law."
Care to go into a little more detail about what the Feryaa members (Feryaanites? Feryaanians?.... how are the called?) believe in?
And in a completely unrelated question: Do Cyrvans favour encyclopedia or wikipedia formated knowledge bases?
"Yes they can, they are generally just called Hybrids by Cyrvans. Which I must admit, has a bit of a negative tone to it. And it wouldn't suprise me if Terrans called them 'half-elves'... The majority of Terran planets seem to view Hybrids as a positive thing, my people on the other hand seem to look at them with skepticism.
The appearance of the child seems to depend mostly on what race the mother is. With a Cyrvan mother and a Terran father the child is hard if not impossible to distinguish from a full blood Cyrvan. With a Terran mother and a Cyrvan father the child tends to look more like a 'half' in appearance.
As said before, the lifespan of Hybrids is currently still unknown, they seem to grow at a slightly faster rate than a Cyrvan but still slower than a Terran. But we can't draw too many conclusions from this alone. A winged or precog Hybrid child hasn't happened yet, so this too is unknown at this point."
What about their reflexes, physical strength or capability of handling the dataflow from a Cyrvan fighter cockpit?
-
Well, Cyrvans are naturally capable of dealing with dataflow from their fighter cockpits. TBH, I think that humans can learn that too, but due to a trend which we observe even today, human fighter cockpits are very user-friendly and do everything for you, while Cyrvan cockpits are closer to the level of your average F-15 (perhaps with all MFD modes displayed on different screens, all at the same time) in terms of complexity.
-
IIRC it's less about data flow that overall sensibility of the equipment. Just like if you'd try to aim at a sentry gun with a Pegasus with a joystick that would have 100 times the sensibility of whatever you're used to. Humans tend to not have the reflexes to handle such equipement.

Okay here, lets see.
Oh, well. That was easy! Is this GTVA military encryption or something? Seems really easy to decode!
In both militaries, martial arts must be part of standard training for all frontline personell. I also assume that each species teaches their soldiers a different style. What I would like to know is what each style centres around, if they were implemented by true masters of each art who would win, and if they factor in melee weapons and if so, what kind.
(http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/249/justicea.png)
"In the LSF, each fleet has its own hand to hand combat trainings and styles. Each effective and deadly in their own right. However none of these martial arts have ever accounted for the possibility of facing a four armed lizard that has twice your physical strength and a completely different center of gravity. Or an overgrown praying mantis that has three times your arm length in attack range. We're currently trying to figure out how to best train our combat personel for these engagements.
The Cyrvans have a different approach to hand to hand combat, by avoiding it all together. Using their reflexes and agility to maintain distance and keeping it a firefight. If all else fails, the best close-quarters combat solution they have is 'shoot it in the face at pointblank range'."
What is the standard equipment loadout of each race's ground troops and ship-to-ship boarding forces? Do you still use projectile small arms? And if so, how do you prevent stray fire from causing explosive decompression during boarding action?
"LSF boarding forces wear Mk IV powered armor suits with personal plasma shield generator attachments. For weaponry they are usually equipped with Ion Particle rifles (Think of a really down scaled VX-02a) and Gauss pistols. Some detachments prefer using physical combat shields and/or the heavier but less mobile Mk IVD heavy armor suits with the Ion Particle scatter rifles.
CSA security personel favor a more mobile loadout and only bring personal shield generators with them into battle for protection."
And to Dawn: You didn't seem too bothered in that picture Spoon has of you in the onsen. Are you actually an exhibitionist, and what are the chances of you getting the other WoD girls in on the fun?

"I was not aware that being naked at the outdoor bath in a hotspring resort would qualify me as an exhibitionist. In any case, I do not feel I have much to be ashamed about."

(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1761/crystala.png)
"It's not like a Terran religion in which you become member of a certain organisation or church, there's no special name for believers.
We believe that there is one omni potent God that created the universe and our race and now watches us as we grow, expand and prosper into this galaxy. The more we Cyrvans continue to prosper the more we'll please him.
The more hardline believers are organized into a fleet order known as the Lore Keepers. The've activately advocated that we Cyrvans should begin a large crusade to subjugate the other races and hurry the expansion of our race. To be honest, I find the Lore Keepers an obnoxious lot that are hard to deal and reason with..."

"Wikipedia.
Everyone can contribute."
What about their reflexes, physical strength or capability of handling the dataflow from a Cyrvan fighter cockpit?
"So far they've produced slightly below average results on piloting. But at this point we cannot conclude if this is because they are Hybrids or if the samples we've had so far just don't have particular high aptitudes for flying. In terms of reflexes they score at the Cyrvan average with physical strength being a bit above average."
-
Dawn. Would you call me even if I gave you my number?
What's your "type"?
-
To all crew: It has been stated before in previous responses, that there are various thoughts on the matter of the hybrids. What are your own veiws of them, and do you think that there is the risk in the future that prejudices from both Humans and Cryvans may drive the hybrids to seperate from their parent civilisation and become independant and/or violent?
-
Also, have you ever known or met an hybrid, and can share this experience ?
-
Do Cyrvans like cats?
-
They have to. They are perfect space elves. No being that doesn't like cats could even call itself perfect (except another cat, of course). :)
If they didn't liked cats, they would be inferior to humans.

I reject your rejection of the rejection of the rejection.
This is going somewhere real fast.

thank you, still I would like to know what Isa thinks about cats.
and yes, I'll stop my derailment right here with this last post.

Dekker, haven't you noticed how Snail hasn't been active for a while here?... ;)
Cats...have you ever seen what cats do when they are put into a no gravity situation?... hehe...

Spoon! Enlighten me, how did you craft all those beautiful models of yours, and how hard was it? :P

Are you seriously asking how they prevent small arms fire from punching through armor that can withstand weapons stronger than nuclear bombs?
It's not the armor you should be worried about. It's the ship systems. You don't armor stuff inside the hull to withstand small arms fire. If there's a fight for any major, important area of the ship like the engine room, CIC, or bridge, you can write it off as fit to fight until it's spent time in a yard.
Even just shooting up a bunch of the corridors could easily result in extensive damage to life support, internal communications and networking, and possibly damage control systems that would make fighting the ship exceptionally difficult without a refit.
-

Maybe you don't... ;7

Of course if you really WANT to waste all that extra mass and end up with ships that perform real badly... :P
-
I guess they would at least armour the first say 50m of corridors at the entrance points to the ship? :)
-
Why? No, seriously, why? If you're being boarded you've already lost. Either blow the ship up if you're serious or set it wrecking its own systems and surrender.

Are you seriously asking how they prevent small arms fire from punching through armor that can withstand weapons stronger than nuclear bombs?
It's not the armor you should be worried about. It's the ship systems. You don't armor stuff inside the hull to withstand small arms fire. If there's a fight for any major, important area of the ship like the engine room, CIC, or bridge, you can write it off as fit to fight until it's spent time in a yard.
Even just shooting up a bunch of the corridors could easily result in extensive damage to life support, internal communications and networking, and possibly damage control systems that would make fighting the ship exceptionally difficult without a refit.
Then maybe you should tell that to the person who specifically asked about explosive decompression, to whom I was answering.
But I don't think you'd cause extensive damage to the ships livesupport by shooting up a single corridor, considering the size of the ships and that the ships most likely use compartmentizing very extensively... at least that's what I'd do on a tincan surrounded by hard vacuum.
And if you can cut a part of the ship off completely from the livesupport, you should also be able to limit the damage to the section the firefight takes place in.

There was also that inhibitor field that the Fura'ngle ship projected, whch the LSF couldn't overcome (the one that was protected by three Armageddons in one of the last missions).

"It's considerably harder to get your hands on a Mk II than a Mk III, since its old and was only produced in limited quantities. The majority of mercs have been using Mk IIIs for a while now. Though the Kaze is pretty popular too, it's a good craft when you feel like bugging out at full speed to save your own hide.
Say, since you seem interested. If I were to start my own mercenary company, would you like to fly under my wing? I'm sure we can make a quick fortune together nyohoh."

"As a certain Andrew pointed out:
(http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/4487/lsfemblem.png)
That's the general shape of it.
I tried the Ray Mk. II in the simulator, handled pretty well. a bit slow for modern standards but when you compare it to other ships made in that time period, it was pretty amazing. It was a test bed for a few technologies, like the twin-jump drive and a sensor suite that was capable of defeating most known jamming systems at the time. The twin-jump eventually proved to be far too expensive for mass production but it wasn't until a full ten years later that single jump drives caught up with its performance.
It also came with the most comfortable pilot chair the LSF has ever seen. Or so I've been told nyoho."

To all crew: It has been stated before in previous responses, that there are various thoughts on the matter of the hybrids. What are your own veiws of them, and do you think that there is the risk in the future that prejudices from both Humans and Cryvans may drive the hybrids to seperate from their parent civilisation and become independant and/or violent?
(http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/1461/isaneutral.png)
"There are not even enough Hybrids to populate a single small town. The very idea that they would start some seperate independent nation in the foreseeable future is laughable at this point."
Also, have you ever known or met an hybrid, and can share this experience ?
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1761/crystala.png)
"Not that I am aware of"

"Yes. But it's nothing to write home about or anything."
How many fighters does a Guardian Angel actually support, and for roughly how long can it do so without resupply?
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1761/crystala.png)
"Normally around 56. If we really stuff everything together and don't intend to make it a long operation we could probably store around 70 craft. Of course it also depends on what loadout. Needless to say a Hazel take considerable more hanger space than a Kaze. Now if we were to depart fully stocked and take conservative actions, a Guardian Angel could last around two maybe three months without resupply.
For the sake of comparison, a Champion class carrier tends to roughly carry 42 to 48 fighters around and can go without resupply for a maximum period of four weeks."
How do jump inhibitor fields work? There was the planetary one at Ravi, but then there's also the (ineffective) one at the blockade the Hertak trashed, which kind of suggests that it's somewhat portable, but the JGASF doesn't seem capable of setting one up on its own. Is there a dedicated ship or something?
"What an inhibitor field basically does is 'saturate' subspace in an area, making it more dense and considerably harder to enter. If you do enter, it will make the subspace drive consume considerable amounts of extra energy to plow its way through. Less advance drives can actually overheat and malfunction, causing the ship to be crushed as subspace closes itself around the ship again.
LSF jump inhibitor technology is still large, unwieldy and requires tremendous amounts of energy to operate. Miniaturized versions on prototype ships have so far proved ineffective at significantly slowing down alien jump drives."
There was also that inhibitor field that the Fura'ngle ship projected, whch the LSF couldn't overcome (the one that was protected by three Armageddons in one of the last missions).
Do the Cyrvans have better jump inhibitor fields, that even work against the Hertak. And are CSA ships capable of overcoming the LSF inibitors and the Hertak/Fura'ngle inhibitors?
"Fura'ngle inhibitors have so far proven themselves extremely effective, even against Hertak drives. What actually makes them even more impressive is that they can somehow leave allied ships unaffected by them. We have yet to discover the secret to this.
Our own ships can make short jumps in a LSF planetary based inhibitor field, but it does considerably reduce our mobility."

Some signs do look like Kata-kana (カ - ka, エ - e), the sencond sign looks like a mirrored オ :wtf: and some are neither Kata-kana nor Hira-gana (like the third sign, that looks like an O or the big rectangle at the bottom of the red bar). So if it is any actual language and not just a combination of random signs, it's not japanese as far as I can tell. But with such a small font it's really hard to tell... and it being bold doesn't help much either.

It's just japanese characters arranged to resemble the english on the other side, I think. It's pretty obvious with the "protecting" at least.

I also have a question regarding tactics for Isa and Crystal.
You have been assigned to protect a planet of great tactical importance, but not given sufficient forces to do so. A larger hostile fleet then engages you and you have no option but to abandon the planet and give up an important strategic point with only a small chance of being able to retake it in the future.
My question is this; would you enact a "scorched earth" policy and burn the planet to deny it's resources to the enemy while damning countless lives but ensuring victory in the future, or would you leave and hope the battle to retake it goes well?
And just for the scenario, the planet contains an equal ratio of cryvans to humans and has resources highly valued by both forces.....It also has the galaxies highest population of the cutest kittens ever to exist. EVER.
What would you do, why, and how would you feel about it?
-
Burn kitty burn.

I'm pretty sure the Cyrvan fleet doctrine (not commenting on individual ships themselves...) is almost made specifically to fight off fleets larger than their own, so that invading fleet probably won't get to rest with CSA ships jumping in and out all over the place with their subspace maneuverability and dynamic engagements.
-

Yes, but there is only so much that maneuvering can do. Perhaps I wasn't clear in explaining.
The situation is hopeless. Sure they could stay and fight, but they wouldn't be able to safeguard the target while engaging the fleet, as large as it is the size would enable them to just steam past en masse and, while incurring possible heavy losses, still capture the target while dishing out the punishment to the CSA fleet.
Also remember that they have an insufficient number of ships to mount an effective deffence. The equivalent to a six-shot revolver against a city's worth of zombies. You may live until you run out of ammo, but you will die.
-
Oh wait I have a question to Isa and Crystal: Do usual cyrvan commanders tend to be more pessimistic or optimistic?
There's just one thing. Who IS the enemy? That's one thing I've learned from WoD: Find out who your enemy shall be and then decide.
Regardless of the hopeless stuff and such. Let's see what happens if....
the Nordera are attacking: Kick dem asses space elves!
The Zy are attacking: They're coming in masses, spamming you with lazors and tearing your soft bodies apart. How terrible could the outcome of such a battle be?
The Hertak: The planet's ****ed, isn't it?
The Fyr'Kyr attack: Party time!
A much larger hostile force could be everything, ranging from fighter/bomber-spam to the typical Sathanas er, Armageddon-fleet.

It's a massive fleet of Alpha 1 Chuck Norris FRED beta testers gramatical inquisitors Hertak ships. A full blown invasion fleet with a large amount of everything, dusted with liberal amounts of 'kick your ass' and "We got DAKKA" spray painted on the hull of every ship.
Though tbh, the numbers i'm envisioning for the scenario is hardly affected by the species enacting the attack, it's a 'they jump in, you abandon your post to cry in the corner' jobbie.

And who says the enemy will be so indulgent as to sit around and let the Cyrvans do as the please?
Maybe this enemy has comparable or even superiour jumpengines and also uses a doctrine based on mobility rather than brute force.
Apart from that, we learned on the previous page of this thread that the Fura'ngle can deploy a jump-inhibitor field that only hinders enemies. And considering that Cyrvans are effected by Human inhibitor fields (not completely blocked from jumping, but severely hindered), it's highly doubtfull that they could overcome Fura'ngle fields.

I'm going to have a bit of a pop here I think.
I honestly tried to think of a way to break the Cyrva love-fest, but the bottom line is I can't think of any questions to ask our poor neglected Terran friends right now, except Kunoichi. And I want to talk to the Cyrva myself.
Kunoichi: Have you ever been tempted to introduce Tempest to the concept of “friendly” fire?
Crystal: These new Cyrva seem to have a very low opinion of us humans. Do they represent the typical Cyrva view of us?
Luna: What motivated you to sign up for this first class of human/Cyrva pilots, especially with it being in Terran space?
Isa: Let's stop dancing around. I'll just ask you straight: Do we Terrans have anything to fear from you?
White haired Cyrva: Who are you?
Male Cyrva: Who are you?

Luna: What motivated you to sign up for this first class of human/Cyrva pilots, especially with it being in Terran space?
Abyss is neutral terretory, that belongs neither to the Terrans nor to the Cyrvans.... or you could say to both equally I guess.
That the 1st JGASF worked only in Terran space during the Hertak invasion was only due to the circumstances of the attack.

The first graduating class was assigned to Terran Space, much to the annoyance of the Cyrvans, who spat their dummy out at this and refused to send over any Cyrvan equipment. The two Aestivals used were captured in the war, and older models.
I suppose it's possible Luna didn't know about this before the first class began training though. I was assuming she did due to the large majority of Terrans vs. Cyrvans in the class. Though I suppose that could be down to many factors.
Still, the question still stands, even if that aspect doesn't.

A Hertak scout or explorer, that the UEUs sensors couldn't detect, somehow causing the interference in the full-drive/half-drive coupling actually sounds good enough for me.

To someone who knows this: In the tech room entry on the GA, it was stated that a new ship would be built for every graduating class.
I'm going to assume that a class graduates from that joint academy every year, and ask:
How long does it actually take to build a Guardian Angel class carrier?
How many have been completed/are in progress?
If you are pumping out the bare minimum of one a year, wouldn't that be a large drain on resources?

I wouldn't think so. In the techroom, it basically says we survived long enough for the Cyrvans to decide to allow us to govern ourselves simply because we were able to create ships faster than the Cyrvan task force could destroy them, and gradually wore it down. Back in this thread somewhere there's also talk about the main shipyards which sound impressive too. I'd like to see them in Wings of Dawn 2. I seem to remember Isa pointing out that it was in her opinion the biggest tactical mistake the task force made not to go after them, and also Justice said that there's an extremely advanced AI running things there. The Guardian Angel isn't even that big. Wings of Dawn's capital ships are quite small as capital ships go. Well, except for the Hertak. It's also supposed to be a joint venture between two interplanetary empires. I would think they could produce one ship between them a year.

...which Crystal probably does think that captaining one is like running a CSA ship on half-power, like a Challenger :P
-
Some more questions for Isa:
Is there any particular reason you have only one pauldron and one sleeve, or is it a (rather alluring, if intimidating) fashion statement?
Is it standard issue, from your own wardrobe or did you get someone to design it especially?
And do you have some cool toys/gadgets intergraded with your underwear clothes? :nervous:
I'd ask Crystal the same things, but with out technologically inferior screens that we have today, I can't tell if she has a small pauldron on her left shoulder, or her uniform is allowing for a large (as large as someone her....size can get at least) amount of sideboob.

"Don't reply to these questions, Isa... please..."
To someone who knows this: In the tech room entry on the GA, it was stated that a new ship would be built for every graduating class.
I'm going to assume that a class graduates from that joint academy every year, and ask:
How long does it actually take to build a Guardian Angel class carrier?
How many have been completed/are in progress?
If you are pumping out the bare minimum of one a year, wouldn't that be a large drain on resources?
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1761/crystala.png)
"Estimated to be between six to 10 months, depending where its being constructed.
Two and one
Not at all, it's a mere one ship a year."
Some more questions for Isa:
Is there any particular reason you have only one pauldron and one sleeve, or is it a (rather alluring, if intimidating) fashion statement?
Is it standard issue, from your own wardrobe or did you get someone to design it especially?

Crystal - Then why didn't you Cyrvans just beat us in the war? You could have done it easily enough, it's no secret.
Isa - I have a funny feeling your definition of treating servants well and mine will differ somewhat...
White Hair - You're going to run out of letters that are not T eventually... I guess then we'll be Cherans or something...
And who is this?

Oh, I like Isa's integrated gadget. Gotta find a way to become Terran security detail on her ship, comrades.

I think a frame of reference would be helpful here, so I'll follow up.
It took the GTVA "over 20 years" to complete the Colossus. If the CSA or LSF built it (or cooperated on its construction) how long do you think it would take to build one ship on that scale?
And as an aside, can you think of a reason to do so?
Ignore this.
New question: Why doesn't either the CSA or LSF have ships larger than 1 km in length?
-
This is to, frankly, LSF members and any Cryvan who cares to respond.
Orbital Frames, from Zone of the Enders.
If they were real, how much fun would have in one.
Such as..OF. Anubis.
or Jehuty.
I know the first person to respond will be the mecha lover Misuzu.
Also, are any of you aware? Minimum speed of a Orbital Frame. In space. is 1 million mph. Seriously.

Yes you are certainly one to talk about ignorance.

Cyrvans: Ever tried Terran Video Games?
White Haired Cryvan: Your going to keep being obnoxious? How bout I call you a Fyrvan, or a Pyrvan, or a Qyrvan? How bout I continously stupify your species name until you stop stupifying ours? Obnoxiousness can work both ways. :D. ALso, no we don't know, Spoon never introduced you, you never introduced yourself either. We can't "Automatically." Know who you are, nothing works like that, unless your a computer. (No offense to the other Cyrvans, I respect Space Elves, I just wanted to slap White Hair around a few times.)
Crystal: Aestivals remind me of Robotech.
Isa: So, If you've heard of Robotech. What, Isa, would happen if you started mounting Reflex Cannons (Or Synchro Cannons.) Upon every CSA ship you came across?
Wait, maybe I shouldn't give her ideas....
Justice: What would you do if you could pilot a Veritech, maybe even an Alpha, and how much fun would you have? (Or an orbital frame, but those things go rediculously fast.)
Misuzu: Are you really a Ditz? or are you just Obfuscating Stupidity? XD

Dawn, y u no want boyfriend?
Or 1 nite stand? :confused:
-
She had one back in her timeline, if you scroll back a lot of pages you'll see.
I think she still hasn't recovered completely yet.
-
To all, what is a typical production rate for warships in Terran and Cryvan star systems
-
I must have missed it.
She can do better.
-
Your probally not worthy of her, in her eyes. :P
-
Then, I must get in there before the gene therapy makes her smart enough to realise that fact! :pimp:
-
Maybe you should get some gene therapy yourself.
Although only an extensive genetic rewrite could soften your multitude of flaws.
(what's the casualty rate on gene therapy ? Maybe we'll get lucky)
-

(what's the casualty rate on gene therapy ? Maybe we'll get lucky)
I suppose since the era of UEU genetics had ended for a century or so, the casualty rate should exceed 1000%.
-
If Dawn can get a successful total brain re-wiring early in the reign of the UEU, I'm sure the success rate for genetic alteration is pretty damn high considering there's been lots of time to refine it. It should be easy to re-write Dekker's personality to make him less horny. After all, the UEU used to use genetic engineering to remove "unwanted" personality types.
-
Trying to renove that trait from me, would be like trying to renove the fusion pile generator from an orion on a hermes.
-
Big deal. Just means they take it apart piece by piece.
-
Nooooooo! Keep Dekker the way he is! This way, when I'm next to him I look better than I really am.
-
Bye bye Dekker's Hornyness!
-
Then, I must get in there before the gene therapy makes her smart enough to realise that fact! :pimp:
Actually, its very possible she allready realizes it. Dawn is intelligent.
I think she's just messing with you because it gives her something to do.
-
Trying to renove that trait from me, would be like trying to renove the fusion pile generator from an orion on a hermes.
It'd be a bit more than that. Seriously. They try this, and next thing you know, someone looks up and notices that the stars are going out...

But who will we depend on to perpetuate the species?
-
Smart People. Thats who, if Smart People breed, then smart people will be born :D.
Now that I think about it. Everyone. Stop Misuzu from getting a boyfriend! Little Misuzu's would be terrifying!
-
Also, Crystal and Isa, this is both for you.
What was the casualty rating for Cyrvans during the Terran/Cyrvan War?
My understanding of human history and nature tells me that human fought you tooth and nail, for every square inch of space. (Am I wrong?)
Then again, this comes from the fact that I'm still in a timeline where humans still blow eachother up if you so much as look at them wrong. Have any Cyrvans actually gained an interest in human history and seen just how brutal and warlike humanity can be?
My understanding of this also tells me that what makes Humanity so dangerous is not technology, but our tenacity, humanity is incredibly stubborn, but also incredibly adaptable and creative. (Again, please tell me if i'm wrong. Heh.)
Crystal mentioned that precogs became useless during the Terran/Cyrvan war because humans constantly changed plans on the fly. How much of an impact did that have on the battle? And how much did it..affect Cyrvan commanders?
Isa, Tell me if i'm wrong, Cyrvans from obersvation and reading all this seem to be..patient commanders, letting the battle playout their way. That would tell me that things rapidly changing without warning might throw them off. (I want to know if I'm wrong, your species is actually quite fascinating, if arrogant.)
Also, if you could meet a Human General from history. Such as Alexander the Great, or Julius Caesar, or General Patton, or whatnot. Who would you? I'm simply asking if..any of our ancient commanders were impressive.
And Isa? Is there anything about us humans that Impresses you?
You as well Crystal, anything?
(Also, both of you...imagine little Misuzu's running around.)
-
Smart People. That's who, if Smart People breed, then smart people will be born :D.
Now that I think about it. Everyone. Stop Misuzu from getting a boyfriend! Little Misuzu's would be terrifying!
But then who would the scale mecha model manufacturers cater to?
In the name of the galactic economy, I shall make it my mission to ensure Misuzu's legacy continues to grace this universe!
What do you say Misuzu; me, you, kits for every Gundam, enough glue vapours to kill a very large creature and some low-grade explodey stuff for pranks?
-
So Crystal how is the construction of the CSA Valathil coming along?
-
Misuzu can be a bit of a ditz at times, but she's not flat out stupid, now folks. :)
-
And Isa? Is there anything about us humans that Impresses you?
Probably how some of us instantly became her slaves even though she's never been to Earth?
-
No, wasn't calling her stupid, we all know she likes to mess with Crystal, imagine Crystal having to deal with ..more Misuzu, lots of Misuzu even.
-
No, wasn't calling her stupid, we all know she likes to mess with Crystal, imagine Crystal having to deal with ..more Misuzu, lots of Misuzu even.
It would be glorious. :D

You forget, in this universe there are actual mecha. They'd just cater to wargames/history buffs with Aestival models.

In a non-stalkey way, Dawny-poo, how many relations did you leave behind when you made that fated jump into the future?

This is to, frankly, LSF members and any Cryvan who cares to respond.

'Cept you probably can't see my hands right now! Just take my word for it that it would be a lot of fun!"
Now that I think about it. Everyone. Stop Misuzu from getting a boyfriend! Little Misuzu's would be terrifying!
"Hey!"
Misuzu: Are you really a Ditz? or are you just Obfuscating Stupidity? XD
"I'm super smart!"
Misuzu can be a bit of a ditz at times, but she's not flat out stupid, now folks. :)
"I'm not stupid at all!
Sheesh."
What do you say Misuzu; me, you, kits for every Gundam, enough glue vapours to kill a very large creature and some low-grade explodey stuff for pranks?
"Sounds awesome!"
New question: Why doesn't either the CSA or LSF have ships larger than 1 km in length?
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1761/crystala.png)
"Both sides have ships of and over that size. They are an uncommon sight in the LSF because ships of that size tend to require a lot of extra equipment which adds quite significantly to their construction cost."
To all, what is a typical production rate for warships in Terran and Cryvan star systems
"Typically a CSA shipyard produces around 25 capital ships a year, a LSF shipyard usually triple that. With the IO shipyards being able to produce a thousand in full gear wartime production. Assuming a steady, unraided supply line of materials. CSA shipyards in contrast tend to spend more time refitting and upgrading older ships of the fleet."
So Crystal how is the construction of the CSA Valathil coming along?
"Hmmm, I'm not aware of any new ships with that name being in production."
Cyrvans: Ever tried Terran Video Games?
"Yes, and they tend to be stupidly simple and without challenge."
What was the casualty rating for Cyrvans during the Terran/Cyrvan War?
"Around 60.000"
My understanding of human history and nature tells me that human fought you tooth and nail, for every square inch of space. (Am I wrong?)
Then again, this comes from the fact that I'm still in a timeline where humans still blow eachother up if you so much as look at them wrong. Have any Cyrvans actually gained an interest in human history and seen just how brutal and warlike humanity can be?
"You are not wrong.
Investigating into your history was one of the reasons why the Cyrvans back in NC0078 decided that it would be for the Terran's own good that the Cyrvans took over."
Crystal mentioned that precogs became useless during the Terran/Cyrvan war because humans constantly changed plans on the fly. How much of an impact did that have on the battle? And how much did it..affect Cyrvan commanders?
Isa, Tell me if i'm wrong, Cyrvans from obersvation and reading all this seem to be..patient commanders, letting the battle playout their way.

(http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/1461/isaneutral.png)
"Of course you are wrong. However, I won't hold it against you.
Cyrvan commanders have a tendency to react to enemy moves and then counter them instead of taking the initiative. Not quickly suprised but may seem too passive and indecisive at crucial times."
And Isa? Is there anything about us humans that Impresses you?
"There might be a few things, I just don't feel like talking about it."
White Haired Cryvan: Your going to keep being obnoxious?
(http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/7669/yaiceca.png)
"Yes."
How bout I call you a Fyrvan, or a Pyrvan, or a Qyrvan? How bout I continously stupify your species name until you stop stupifying ours? Obnoxiousness can work both ways. :D.

"You are totally stalking me..."
-
that is a lot of hulls.
To the White Haired Cryvan whom I presume to be a command officer. May I respectfully ask for your name, I understand that we are being annoying but the exchange of names and titles is considered base etiquette because of the importance of both in establishing proper rules for interaction between the persons involved especially amongst persons of differing positions in the social standing.
-
So any Cryvan who likes to answer this:
What do the Cyrvans tend to think about all the other races encountered so far?
Crystal & Isa: What do you think about them?
Same question for the terrans. I would like to "hear" what Justice and Tempest have to say about them.
-
Awww, they didn't talk to me....
-
White Hair, is your name Yaicec?
-
Empress Isa: When the time comes for your holy crusade, can I keep Misuzu?
Misuzu: When Isa comes to power and has the universe in her grasp and I am living a comfortable life as one of her trusted minions, would you be mai waifu?
White Haired Cryvan: You should just stop. Now. No matter how hard you try, you just can't emulate Mistress Isa's condecending and scathing wit. Whereas she made it an intrestin quirk, you just come across as the posterchild of why Terrans should hate Cryvans. Out of all the WoD ladies, YOU are the only one that I will say this to...
GET BACK TO THE KITCHEN while the important people talk.
Crystal: Will there be any repercusions in regards to Dekker stalking and emotionally scarring your ace pilot? Also, what are your views on your sister's rude subordinate? Do you think it's a fitting mindset for someone in a position of authority in the CSA of today?
-
Crystal: Will there be any repercusions in regards to Dekker stalking and emotionally scarring your ace pilot?
I thought Misuzu was her ace pilot?
Also, you being rude to White Haired Cyrvan only proves her right. Be nice to her so that she may be nice to us.

I think White-Hair is just a troll and will warp her responses so as to annoy with maximum effect. Stop giving her attention and she'll start begging for it like a sour cam-whore.

The tattoo thing was already answered many, many pages ago. You can check the answer out in the wiki.

qwadtep, i bet she is, and I bet those ears of hers are fake.
Hey White-Hair, we annoying the **** out of you yet? We can keep going :3.
How bout I compare your chest size to Isa's or Crystals and declare how you look flat as hell?
Or how bout I compare your intelligence with Crystal and say that she dropped the Hertak Flagship, all you did is sit on the sidelines looking stupid. :D
Humans are Assholes, we are masters of trolling and being total rude jerkholes. So, you wish to bring the rain? Then we demand the bringing of it. I guarantee you by the time were done you'll be a crying wreck. :3.
(P.S. I just imagined Scar with popcorn, enjoying the show about people trolling a Cyrvan.)
On that note...
Misuzu: Whats Scar been up to since the Hertak Invasion?
Dawn: Don't cry, do you need a hug?
-
Noooooo.......
She mine D:
-
Thats her decision, not yours. You cannot force her, if you do, that makes you just as bad as every forceful stalker in the world.
I am not doing this out of even trying to get her in bed or a relationship, hugs are an act of kindness. This is fact.

*Slaps her across the face*
ME: "Terran!"
*Slaps her across the face*
ME: "Terran!"
etc.
That continues until she gets the message and shows our race proper respect.

That might be even less necessary than verbal hazing.
At least I think.
-

At least I think.
Well, we've tried to be nice. I'm also sure verbal hazing will have zero effect on that one.
Anyway though, look at her smug face. It's just begging to be slapped :)
Cyrvans are very vulnerable to physical pain. I think we'll see results very quickly. I'm not happy with using such crude methods, it's hardly going to impress anyone, but what else is there? I suppose we could just ignore her, and take the moral high ground that we're above her ignorance.
-
Or we could hire Scar to hack into her personal terminal and shove some disturbing information onto the equivalent of the Interwebs.
Frankly, as of right now, i'm more intelligent, educated, and more awesome then White-Hair will ever be. But for good measure.
*Decks White Hair in the face for good measure.* That felt good.
Isa, sorry for socking your subordinate!
Moral Highground wouldn't work with her, someone else would come along and deck her in the face, so I did it just to get it overwith.
-
Scar? Nah, just get Tempest and Misuzu to write a fic about her and a bunch of tentacles.
-
Brilliant!
Better yet...Lets create a portal, and open it into the video game universe of Saints Row The Third, and subject White Hair to The Boss of the Saints.
Hilarious **** will ensue.

Spoon's done a great job of making us hate that one before we even play. If she shows up as an antagonist, she's in for a World of hurt. Unless she starts being nice...

Invulnerability cheat :)
-
indeed. Invuln player = GOD. :3

Depends.... in WiH there is at least one event in-mission that deactivated the invul cheat, without telling you, so you're only god if the FREDder let's you be one :P
-
-op every-time
-op true
-op ship-vulnerable
-<Player Ship>
You're never invul.
-

Then I'll tear the damn mission out of the VP file and change it! Then I'll go into the mission and tear her out of her ship! :)
-
While we are at it.... is it possible to make such an event, but let it only fire periodically, like every 30 seconds?
-
I'd love to see your faces when you find out Spoon, reading this thread, remade WoD2 to make White Haired Cyrvan the player character.
-
Jellyfish, what makes you say that?
-
Nothing. I just was wondering how you'd cope with her (apparently) annoying persona throughout all of WoD2 if she really was the player character. What with her bad mouthing Terrans left and right, I mean.
-
Well, in that case, it probably starts with a "t" and ends with a lifetime ban from the Guardian Angel.
-
I'd love to see your faces when you find out Spoon, reading this thread, remade WoD2 to make White Haired Cyrvan the player character.
I very much doubt that will happen, but I did imagine something along the same lines, perhaps she could be an ally, ordering us around in the most condescending way possible, with zero respect for our lives, never having any praise, but plenty of scathing comments.
-
Even then. I'd still use that cheat that lets you instantly blow up a ship.
(Spoon..better not pull what WiH did tho if you did that. A Sathanas named Mr. Cuddles? Dear god >_<)

All this talk about what we will do to White Hair has made me think about crime and punishment. How are such things handled by the Cyrvans? Imprisonment would surely be a big problem for Cyrvans. Especially repeat offenders, imagine having to see the same face for hundreds of years! What length of time would you imprison someone? A 2 year sentence for a Cyrvan would be like 2 months to a Terran. Life imprisonment, what a drain on resources that would be! Corporal punishment? Cyrvans would certainly fear that. Any Cyrvan can answer, and although I like you Crystal, I think I'd rather Emizer answered this one. C'mon in, Emizer! Let's bring you into the discussion, if you don't mind :)

If you screw up too much, they give you the worst possible punishment of all: serve in a Terran fleet. :shaking:
-
That, is..............a
PROMOTION
-
Makes you wonder what Crystal did, to get put in command of a whole Terran battlegroup.
Wait, no, forget that. I wonder what Luna did.
-
That's easy. They volunteered.
And the JGASF is not Terran. It's a joint venture between both militaries, only that the Cyrvans seem to be less.... enthusiastic towards the project, or at least they were for the first class. Now that they have profen their worth, they might be a bit more supportive.
That's actually a good question in itself come to think of it.
To anyone willing and able to answer:
Did the great feats of the 1st JGASF in the war with the Hertak change the CSAs attitude toward the JGASF? Will they finally support them with equipment and maybe even a bit of respect?
-
Norbert has a point. That IS a good question.
I'll add onto it.
Crystal mentioned some CSA Elements were going to be attached to the JGASF, so Crystal, which elements are those exactly? Simple Curiosity.
Will we finally get to see Cyrva's mighty warships in action, and epic beam spam?
Justice: Do LSF Fighters follow the maxim "Macross Missle Massacre." Better now? :O.

I think I recall a post somewhere saying something like "Stupid Terrans, the moment you get invaded you send a request for aid, this is why we wanted to protect you," but when I looked all I could fine was whitehair's name and nobody cares about THAT.

Go back in this thread a few pages. You'll find a post with me asking who someone is, along with a link to click on. There it is. I believe the Cyrvan saying it is an old version of Isa which won't be used going by the file name. I also ask Crystal a question in the post.

White Hair, is your name Yaicec?

"Almost there."
Also, you being rude to White Haired Cyrvan only proves her right. Be nice to her so that she may be nice to us.
To the White Haired Cryvan whom I presume to be a command officer. May I respectfully ask for your name, I understand that we are being annoying but the exchange of names and titles is considered base etiquette because of the importance of both in establishing proper rules for interaction between the persons involved especially amongst persons of differing positions in the social standing.
"Imagine that, Lerrans with manners!
Very well then, since you all seem to be dying to know I'll educate you. My name is Yaiceca m'es vera. Better remember it well."
I think White-Hair is just a troll and will warp her responses so as to annoy with maximum effect. Stop giving her attention and she'll start begging for it like a sour cam-whore.

To anyone willing and able to answer:

"Very well.
Our system is focused on reintegration into society more than punishment. There are several jobs and duties which are considered... 'less desirable' that will often be assigned to convicts. If they perform their duties well, they can shorten their sentence a great deal. Life long imprisonment is a dire method only used in the most extreme cases. Cyrvan crime rate is however small compared to that of the LTW."
So any Cryvan who likes to answer this:
What do the Cyrvans tend to think about all the other races encountered so far?
Crystal & Isa: What do you think about them?
Same question for the terrans. I would like to "hear" what Justice and Tempest have to say about them.
(http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/1461/isaneutral.png)
"We have a strong dislike for the Zy, we feel they are untrustworthy due to their predatory instincts and their foreign politics are too aggressive.
I share this sentiment and add that I also don't like the Zy because they possess enough firepower to back up their threats.
We're currently on good terms with the Cordi but have adopted a wait and see attitude for the moment.
The Fura'ngle are seen by many as 'rivals in technology' but I think they are actually ahead in quite a few regards. Aside from that, they are actually a bit of a mystery. We haven't been able to discern a real 'culture' for these aliens yet. Each individual seems so... different."
(http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/4797/tempest.png)
"Nordera are a great source of income, easy contracts to remove Nordera raider groups from a sector of space for the mercs nyohoho.
Aside from that I think the general opinion of the Nordera is one of hate and loathing.
Now the Hertak on the other hand... 'Not getting paid enough to die', comes to mind."

Aw damn, why did you have to be different? Everyone else has something tacked on to the end of their name...
I didn't use the a, especially with "Crystala" right above it.
Thanks Emizer. Could you tell us a bit about yourself and your views on Terrans please?
On other matters, I am quite surprised, but pleasantly so that the exploits of the JGASF impressed the Cyrvans. I don't know, but from earlier talk, it sounds like the Cyrvans handled the Hertak and Zy attack quite easily. And it was a Cyrvan and an AI that performed the most crucial roles in the conflict for the JGASF.
Yes, if I was a Cyrvan, I would certainly fear the Zy. It might be hard for them to deny their instincts to tear into those soft Cyrvan bodies of yours. And to a Zy, I imagine a Terran wouldn't really be much different either. I was thinking about the idea of fighting a Zy. I imagine it would go something roughly like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjjR07m6hVU
Not good. I hope they are friendly towards us now that they have been freed from the Hertak. I hear they have some sort of honour, so I'm hopeful.

Isa said earlier that 'every semi-competent military is going to have contingency plans for every situation'
What are the CSA's and the LSF's should hostilities against the Zy and/or the Fur'angle recommence?

Noo! Dekker has been driven to suicide by a heartless, time traveling spaceharpy and her name is DAWN!... :mad2:
Is what I'd say if he didn't bring it upon himself.
My question is, how do you know what a Vasudan is? Did they finally make FreeSpace 3? Was it worth the multi-century wait? Did Admiral Bosch find out that the shivans just wanted to have tea and crumpets? Did humanity ever find out what happened on the next exciting episode of DRAGON BALL Z? TELL US!!!!!!

The preview of next episode was shortly before the supernova, the latter stages of Apocalypse.

Curiosity killed the cat, as they say, so to prevent any more kitten slaughter:
Yaiceca m'es vera:
Is the "m'es vera" part of your name some sort of title or rank? If so, what does it translate to? (In Terran society, everybody has two or three names, each one of which is capitalized. There are just that many of us)
You seem to command at least one starship. Tell us more about it/them.
What is your relationship with the JGASF, if one exists?
If your "superiour" Cyrvan mind can't remember a simple six letter word like Terran, how are we mere Humans supposed to remember a name made up of three whole words?
Terrans have three-word names. First, middle (sometimes), and last names. Okay, yes, in most cases the middle name isn't important for identification, but it does exist.
-
That's... not the strangest fetish I've heard of, but it's up there.

Vasudans exist in a piece of Terran fiction called Freespace. You may have heard of it...

Misuzu's mine! Don't make me hire Tempest to do a bombing run on the Bosch beer brewery!
But moving on from the insanity a little bit...
Crystal, during your time training with the JGASF, how many Terrans did you befriend and how did you find interacting with them for the first time on a day-to-day basis?
Also, while you where there, and although at the start of this interrogation Q&A you said you had "No time for such things", did it ever cross your mind, even briefly, to enter into a (short/long term) relationship with a Terran?
If 'yes', was it due to a specific trait or specific person? And if 'no' is there a particular reason besides the fact that barring some tragedy, you'll outlive him/her?
-
Dekker, Make me butt out. :D
No seriously tho, Yaiceca, want a gun? Dekkar wants to apparently get frisky with you, just for no reason.

Ahem.
Since we were kind of on the subject of aliens, what do the Hertak look like?
On the subject of looks, is there any practical function to the rings on Cyrvan ships, or are they just to look cool?
On the subject of cool, why is Milkshake called Milkshake?
-
Usually I'd go for shield generator, but since the Aestival (or at least those two old ones the GA had on board) don't come with shields...
-
These are engine rings (notice, all CSA craft have thrusters there). Part of the reason why CSA ships are so agile. Thrust vectoring on engines mounted that way can put a lot more torque on the ship than that of a centered engine. Also, Spoon used them to explain sidethrust at one point (though I don't remember how) and they had a purpose connected to their transformation into mecha (IIRC).
-
Hey, I just found a datapad floating through deep space, with a JGASF emblem on the back. It has a bunch of text files on it that are pasword protected, but the titles keep on mentioning 'Tentacles' and Crystal.

Rumour has it that she tried to imitate Kelis in that video. Little did she know there were witnesses.

Not all. I don't think certain capships have engines on them, just a lot of beams.
I was more curious about the significance of it being a ring versus big ugly Hades engines or something.

Then Again, Isa COULD just lock a teleporter beam on the datapad, beam it away from Firespawn, and beam him out an airlock just to be mean.
(If they have teleporters.)

Infi had a teleporter. I don't think that any of the other races do.
Speaking of which:
Dawn (or if she doesn't know, someone who does) First, I apologize for your loss. Second, did the research team you were working with manage to learn anything from the fighter in terms of technical knowledge? I know they (and you) got the ship to work in, but did anybody know what made it tick?

On the contrary, my good fellow! They should respect our species even more, as our species continues to exist, despite sheer amounts of raw, unrefined crazy we all produce....Or maybe just a select few.

'Despite'? More like 'because'. As you have to be human to be crazy, you have to be crazy to be human.
-
It might not be good for LSF-Cordi relations though. I mean, they aren't even humanoid, they probably don't want that with a Cyrvan any more than a Cyrvan does with them.
Most of them, anyway.
Say, on that subject, what's the Cordi queen look like? I'd assume she's bigger than the rest of the little buggers, at least.

And no, absolutely not. There is nothing of value a Nordera clan could possible offer."
That's... not the strangest fetish I've heard of, but it's up there.
Wait a minute. There are NO Vasudans in WoD.
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3510/dawnneutral.png)
"I didn't mean it like that..."
My question is, how do you know what a Vasudan is? Did they finally make FreeSpace 3? Was it worth the multi-century wait? Did Admiral Bosch find out that the shivans just wanted to have tea and crumpets? Did humanity ever find out what happened on the next exciting episode of DRAGON BALL Z? TELL US!!!!!!
"Freespace 3 was released twenty years after the nuclear holocaust and its story was used as a propaganda tool for the UEU. The GTVA invaded shivantown in force and achieved a glorious military victory over the shivans. This game was released in a time when the UEU was actively trying to convince its population that humanity should expand into space.
All in all, it was not a bad game."
Sooo, why do you like them?
"bup bup bup."
Thank you Yaiceca m'es vera

"You're welcome, dear."
Yaiceca m'es vera:
Is the "m'es vera" part of your name some sort of title or rank? If so, what does it translate to? (In Terran society, everybody has two or three names, each one of which is capitalized. There are just that many of us)
You seem to command at least one starship. Tell us more about it/them.
What is your relationship with the JGASF, if one exists?
"It's a name, what does your name translate to? Strawberrycake?
I do not.
I have no direct relation to them."
Change of tactic-
Hey whitey, wanna get freaky?
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/7055/yaicecas.jpg)
"Oh? You think you can handle me?"
Crystal, during your time training with the JGASF, how many Terrans did you befriend and how did you find interacting with them for the first time on a day-to-day basis?
Also, while you where there, and although at the start of this interrogation Q&A you said you had "No time for such things", did it ever cross your mind, even briefly, to enter into a (short/long term) relationship with a Terran?
If 'yes', was it due to a specific trait or specific person? And if 'no' is there a particular reason besides the fact that barring some tragedy, you'll outlive him/her?

"Interrogation indeed. I don't want to talk about this."
Since we were kind of on the subject of aliens, what do the Hertak look like?
On the subject of looks, is there any practical function to the rings on Cyrvan ships, or are they just to look cool?
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1761/crystala.png)
"The Hertak look unpleasant and are... hard to describe.
Aside from being super pleasing to the eye, the rings are also part of the inertia damping function of the engine."
On the subject of cool, why is Milkshake called Milkshake?
(http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/8840/milkshake.png)
"The first one to menti-"
Rumour has it that she tried to imitate Kelis in that video. Little did she know there were witnesses.
Said witnesses then died of 'mysterious knife related incidents', but it was too late: the nickname survived and spread.

"That's it, stabbing time."
-
I feel bad for Dekkar.
Qwadtep! Quick! Through the portal! I'll hold off Milkshake!.
Katana beats knife!
-
Actually, I'M the one getting stabbed. Again.
I apparently don't get along with Milkshake.
-
Ah, but you put yourself in the game, Spoon! So you're not immune to the questions! Oh, and I know something that you did too. When I was looking in FRED at some of the missions, I see you set all the members of the Hard Light Squadron to "Wingman Average". Everyone except Spoon, who got "Wingman Excellent". :pimp:
Still, as the maker of the game, it stands to reason that your in-game incarnation would be better at it. So I'll let you off. And of course, it makes the level that little bit easier. ;)
Well Emizer, since you said you "respectfully" pass, I'll take a guess you don't see us as a vermin race at least. Thanks for your time.
Yaiceca, after being initially amused by your comment, I then thought something like "Yeah, right. Cyrvans are weaklings." But then I remembered Crystal talking about how Cyrvans would dominate us at sports. Interesting. I wonder what Cyrvan stamina is like. Maybe Cyrvans can go at it all night long...
Ah, poor Crystal. I offer you the invitation to talk to me about something, anything you want. You've answered more questions than anyone else by far, so time for you to enjoy yourself.
-
Then Jellyfish, come on, through the portal!. I've got a Katana! It beats Knives!
Isa: What kind of military formations does a Cyrvan naval force use in a standard engagement? I notice LSF like to jump in and bring a lot of forward firepower to bear, how does the CSA operate?
-
That portal better lead to the Atreus or the Nemesis, or I ain't leaving...
-
I'm going to pretend Milkshake is stabbing Jellyfish for lying when we all know Milkshake just enjoys making milkshakes for the entire crew of the Guardian Angel. That's right, isn't it, Milkshake? I bet Crystal gets really bad brain freeze due to the whole superior Cyrvan information processing thing. Right?
Change of tactic-
Hey whitey, wanna get freaky?
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/7055/yaicecas.jpg)
"Oh? You think you can handle me?"
Oho, that sounds like a challenge. Crystal, what's the legal status of gambling in LSF/CSA space? Cut you 10% to look the other way.
-
Good, good ladies of the fleet...
Haven't you been advised on sexual harassment? All you need to do is report these offending blokes to invoke the inevitable stiff caning that is due them. They... do still use the mighty cane of justice in the future, right?
-
Whitey, I definitely do..... If I can catch you. Not that you're running ;7
Ps-letmecallyoudawnanddyeyourhairblueplease:/

Yaiceca, sorry for being obnoxious earlier, I take pride in being human. Just..how are you going to deal with this guy attempting to sexually harass you? What is the Cyrvan view on sexual harassment anyway?
And Crystal actually punched Justice? When?
Crystal: When you punched Justice, due to the strength difference...did it hurt at all? I AM really curious about this.

Do not be sorry. Yaiceca still hasn't shown our race any respect, but at least she's talking to us now, and not just putting us down. Maybe she'll come round yet. Although more likely it's just self preservation :)
It happens in the campaign. She gets stressed, and takes it out on him. She slaps him at first but then she punches him, and comes off worse. You can search this thread too, there's some talk of it by Justice somewhere.

Btw, are you looking for the Datapad? *Holds it up, runs off laughing hysterically with it, having stolen it(Its no fake.) from Firespawn, then jumps into a temporal rift and moves out of range of firespawn.*

Misuzu and Tempest will come for you if you try and distribute that stuff for profit. They're both obsessed with money, and you're taking theirs. Crystal might come for you too...
-
And Crystal actually punched Justice? When?
Crystal: When you punched Justice, due to the strength difference...did it hurt at all? I AM really curious about this.
Right after she got back from saving the Cordi Queen and seeing how the LSF got their asses handed to them by the Hertak.
And yes it did hurt...
No, not Justice. Crystal hurt her own hand with the punch.
-
>_>
*and Firespawn was ran over by an intergalactic bulldozer, with a crazy man in a suit going "WYRRRRRRRRR." standing ontop of the bulldozer.*
*There are about several thousand space elves watching this, eating popcorn as the bulldozer continues to drive over, back up, and drive over Firespawn repeatedly.*

...Ahem.
Yaiceca, show us some of your pride as a Cyrvan. What are the Cyrvan names for your ships? Surely they have names in your own tongue and designations like Celestial and Aestival are just the Terran names.

Well, Emizer doesn't seem to want much to do with us.
Makes you wonder why the others bother with us...
-
I think Emizer is is just more calm and collected so he answers less than the girls. Kind of like a Cyrvan Justice. They might make good drinking buddies.
You still have alcohol in the future, right? I bet Cyrvans get drunk really fast due to their low body mass, so I'm just imagining Crystal...

I think I remember something about alcohol being harmful to Cyrvans. Not sure though.
I do know you're not the first to think about alcohol and Crystal. It's come up before. Supposedly, Misuzu has tried to get Crystal drunk before, but Crystal has always detected the alcohol.
-
Yeah, I think I recall something like that, but that post went in like five different directions and when I tried to make it more coherent just ended up there.
-
I think I remember something about alcohol being harmful to Cyrvans. Not sure though.
Hardly unusual. It's also harmful to humans.
They might, on the other hand, have a vastly lower tolerance and a finer taste, which would effectively keep them off alcohol (well, it keeps me away from alcohol anyway, I have a rather sensitive taste).
-

That means people like us are the norm and not the exception? I thought the UEU got rid of undesirable attitudes, and that this was a lighthearted mod.
-
I remember something being mentioned about Luna drinking once. Something about starting to sing after the first glass and passing out after the second, though I forgot what they were drinking, if it was mentioned.
-
I wonder, do Cyrvans have anything such as video games, or epic fantasy fables, or whatnot? I've allways been curious. Crystal seems to find our games laughable. Crystal, try zone of the enders sometime, It might actually scare you what the human imagination is capable of once we get some inspiration......
-
Yaiceca: Which people among us would you use as target practice if you could? (I need to know when I should Alt-J out.)
-
I remember something being mentioned about Luna drinking once. Something about starting to sing after the first glass and passing out after the second, though I forgot what they were drinking, if it was mentioned.

So I was looking at the WoD starmap earlier, thought of Dawn, and noticed that Vasuda isn't present. Maybe the Zods just haven't been discovered yet? Which brings me to the question--how many systems outside of LSF/CSA/Hertak-controlled space exist but haven't been claimed/colonized yet?
I remember something being mentioned about Luna drinking once. Something about starting to sing after the first glass and passing out after the second, though I forgot what they were drinking, if it was mentioned.
Then again, it was Luna doing the drinking. Not sure that should be taken as a typical Cyrvan reaction.
Nevertheless, Luna, sing a song for us?

I found the original post about Luna's alcohol tolerance, or lack thereof ;)
Crystal, has anyone ever tried to get you drunk just to see what you would act like?

"Now Luna on the other hand, decided that she would join Axe and Justice in a drinking competition, no matter what.
She started singing after one shot of whiskey and passed out after the second... "

Well now Spoon, I'm not sure if this is what you want, but if it is, here you go. I've been saving these for a while...
Isa: Could you rank the other races, including Terrans, in order of what threat they would pose to the Cyrvans?
Isa: In an all out war between the Cyrvan and Terran Alliance vs. the Zy/Fura'ngle alliance, which side do you think would prevail?
Any Cyrvan: Was there any reaction/surprise when you learned Terrans have an almost exact replica of your race in our fictional works, despite having never made contact with you before? Also, is there anything similar to a Terran in yours?
Any Cyrvan: Is Cyrvan long life unique to you, or do other species on your planet also enjoy long lives?
Any Cyrvan: Could you tell me about the Yehio, and did any harm come to them during the war?
Anyone: What do Terrans who move to Cyrvan Worlds tend to do with themselves? It’s clear the Cyrvans aren’t operating a benefit state. They expect people to enhance their society if they’re going to live there. So what roles do Terrans fulfil?
Anyone: Are there any Cyrvans living on Earth, or in any other parts of Earth space, and what are their reasons for the decision?
Any Cyrvan: What do Cyrvans do for fun?
Any Cyrvan: Do Cyrvans keep pets, and if so, what?
Anyone: Are there any gestures that have wildly different meanings in Cyrvan culture as opposed to Terran?
Anyone from the JGASF who wants to answer: What’s your fondest memory of your time in the JGASF?
Anyone from the JGASF who wants to answer: What’s your worst memory of your time in the JGASF?
Random fact: I saw a girl with white hair yesterday who looked a lot like Yaiceca. Same hair and hairstyle, same skin tone, nearly same face shape and short. She didn't have Cyrvan ears, of course. It was quite something. I wish you could have seen her.

Ah, but you put yourself in the game, Spoon! So you're not immune to the questions! Oh, and I know something that you did too. When I was looking in FRED at some of the missions, I see you set all the members of the Hard Light Squadron to "Wingman Average". Everyone except Spoon, who got "Wingman Excellent". :pimp:
Still, as the maker of the game, it stands to reason that your in-game incarnation would be better at it. So I'll let you off. And of course, it makes the level that little bit easier. ;)
:pimp:
Is there anyone out there who we haven’t seen yet, who would like to show their face and talk with us? Come on out and introduce yourselves! We don't bite :)
There is someone you've seen already a bunch of pages back. Go and find her

"None of them were harmed because they were nicely tucked away on their homeplanet.
Now I might enlighten you about them some more, but it will depend on how you ask."
I'm going to pretend Milkshake is stabbing Jellyfish for lying when we all know Milkshake just enjoys making milkshakes for the entire crew of the Guardian Angel. That's right, isn't it, Milkshake?

Oho, that sounds like a challenge. Crystal, what's the legal status of gambling in LSF/CSA space? Cut you 10% to look the other way.

Hmph. Get out, Yaiceca. I have no time for your petty games.
CRYSTAL, dear, sweet Crystal, please step in and help enlighten me as to the nature of the Yehio. Oh, and I'd also like to put the question of "Was there any reaction/surprise when you learned Terrans have an almost exact replica of your race in our fictional works, despite having never made contact with you before?" To you too.
ISA: I will take you up on your offer. I am particularly interested as to the reasoning for the low ranking of the Fura'ngle. I suppose the fear factor comes into it, but they are a very advanced race. Small numbers perhaps? I was pleasantly surprised by the LSF's ranking. Also, I was surprised you put in the fictional races. Could you add the Kilrathi to the list please?
As to the alliance question, with the high LSF ranking, I'm sure you'd be with us. The Cyrvans handled an assault by both the Hertak and the Zy. There'd be no need to abandon your race to survive. Even if you have absolutely no care other than being on the winning side, Cyrvans and LSF would be the stronger side.
Other notes: Interesting all Cyrvan vessels regenerate...
Isa must have rich people to buy her birthday gifts... either that or task forces come cheap. This also establishes Cyrvans also celebrate birthdays. Imagine if they celebrated like we do. 1,000 candles on a cake, anyone? :)
I think it would be nice if some fanfiction from the authors of the piece of Crystal fanfiction was to surface on Yaiceca...

I am particularly interested as to the reasoning for the low ranking of the Fura'ngle. I suppose the fear factor comes into it, but they are a very advanced race. Small numbers perhaps?
Or maybe because you can just fly a fighter below their shields and blow the completely exposed reactor to bits in less than 20 seconds...
Or maybe their ridiculously high vulnerbility to physical weapons, once the shields are down.
Or that they are coward, who only fight when left with no other choice.
Come to think of it, I wonder more why they are in front of the GTVA (unless it's the FS2 era GTVA. I think the BP and Inferno GTVAs would waste the Fura'ngle).
-
Because FS fighters cannot hope to win against fighters with cycling, 360-degree all-around firepower. Fura'ngle fighters don't have to be pointing at their targets to kill them. Well, on another note...
Does the CSA have any MCWSes that greatly surpasses the Aestival in maneuverability?

I have no idea why I didn't think of that obvious weakness.
As for the GTVA, I'm guessing Spoon is going on raw stats, and WoD crushes FS2 on stats. I'm sure it's the FS2 GTVA.

Spoon, your Luna makes me think of Harry Potter's Luna sometimes. Coincidence?
-

And yet a single Adasya protected by a few Hertak ships can hold entire fleets at bay unless you have magic Zy missiles to counter them.
The strength of the Fura'ngle is electronic warfare, not mainline combat.
Though I wonder, do shields still not work in subspace in WoD? That would be a really critical weakness for them.

They do.
There is no magical force preventing shields from working in subspace. Unless you have a subspace drive that requires so much power that there is no juice left of the shield generator.

"The Yehio are kind of bird like in their appearance, though they do not have feathers. Hmmm, lets think of an example to compare them with...
Ah, I suppose they resemble a 'pterosaur' a bit in some aspects. Without any offense intended, they are not the smartest of known races. Their slow reflexes makes them poorly suited for fighter combat and indecisive commanders in simulated strategy games. They are also quick to anger but supposedly make for life long friends once you get to understand them.
They do have a remarkable talent for picking up new languages. Without having much direct contact, over 80% of the Yehio population is already fluent in Terran basic. Because of this, the higher circles are already contemplating if there should be Yehio translators onboard CSA ships to help in the situations where a translator device would fail. Last but not least the Yehio have an incredible fine taste and their kitchen arsenal contains many fine dishes."

"The kittycats would be on the same place as Confed before the temblor bomb, and after that below the Fura'ngle.
Now the Hertak and Zy shouldn't need any explanations. The Terrans are there because of all the races they do seem to be adapting to the battlefield the fastest. They also have a decent intelligence network set up and definitely have the easiest time letting their spies blend in with us. The Cordi are next up because of the sheer numbers and resources available to them. Holding off wave hundred shouldnt be a problem, but it gets tiresome after two hundred.
Now what I understand from the EA is that they have a lot of very large vessels with a lot of heavy beam weapons strapped on them, I very much doubt they can sustain a prolonged war for long but their initial attacks may be able to do significant damage. I'm not sure how large of a fleet Confed could muster but from my understanding they control a significant amount of starsystems in their own universe. Their capital ships are also shielded and their bombers yield deadly torpedoes. Now the Fura'ngle are certainly highly advanced and their logistics are effective due to the low amount of resources they need to operate but it would be childplay to destroy their morale and crush their will to wage war. They also have a relative small fleet compared to the other races. In the case of the GTVA&UEF it is simply a matter of numbers, they have too few of them."

er, what's your full name.
To all the new Cyrvans we've seen so far:

Crystal: why is your uniform different from what other Cyrvans wear?

Why are your uniforms different from Crystal's but generally the same overall?
that question answers itself, try again.

Crystal: why is your uniform different from what other Cyrvans wear?
That should be obvious: Crystal's in the JGASF, and her particular squadron is assigned to Terran space. Naturally she'd be wearing a different uniform.

WYNTER: Please don't be offended. I'm sorry. Can you forgive me? And if you can, can you help us out with getting to know you?
CRYSTAL: Ah, thank you. To clarify, can the Yehio fly? How long do they live, and what size are they?
Hmmm, we helped you out in this one too, didn't we! But it was you who were the star of the show. The saviour of several races. That must make you FAMOUS! How is that going for you? Did you (and the rest of the JGASF maybe) get anything like this?:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3yrVpuIyVA#t=8m50s
Ah, one of the most gratifying endings of any game i've played...
ISA: Interesting thought on the spies. However, wouldn't it involve having to sever our ears? I can't see how we could make them look Cyrvan. Plus, surely we'd be scanned and found out as Terrans? I guess since you said it these issues can be got around, but how is it done? Not to mention Terrans being significantly taller than Cyrvans. Though I suppose we could find a small female to play Cyrvan.
And perhaps I should have thought of psychological warfare on the Fura'ngle too. That and the capital ship weakness could see them dealt with quite quickly. The GTVA though, that's two species over a lot of systems. How can they have too few numbers? They'd also be very battle hardened. I notice you gave no mention to the Nordera. Though I agree, they're not fit to be mentioned.
I take it you mean you don't celebrate like us, not that you don't celebrate birthdays?
Thanks everyone! :)

Surprisingly deep assesment there, but I guess it's par for course for Cyrvan commanders. Wouldn't the Nordera be up there with the Cordi too? They have the numbers and determination as well.

They are slow, extremely vulnerable to energy weapons and their own weapons can barely pierce shields. They are barely a threat to LSF ships and thus almost helpless against Cyrvans.

To anyone willing and able to answer:
Can you describe what the Yehio homeworld is like (climate, geography and such)?
Are there any Cyrvans resentfull toward the Yehio for sparking of the Cyrvan civil war?
The mention of Terran basic also sparked my interrest. How does it relate to the languages spoken on Earth during the 21st century?
Edit: Sorry for doublepost... I only noticed I did that right now. I guess I was still so focussed on editing the Yehio information into the wiki that I wasn't paying attention over here... :o

Since noone started on Wynter, here I go.
So, tell us a bit more about you. What rank do you have in the Cyrvan Fleet ? In what ship do you serve/do you command ?

Kunoichi: Have you ever considered learning ninjitsu, just so that your callsign has a less negative reason for being? Also, with the level of tech you people have and a little guidence from Misuzu, a little 'Ninja Magic' wouldn't be out of reach. People would then actively keep an eye out for you, if you kept on appearing in puffs of smoke or dropping down from airvents/ceilings at a moments notice.

Ignore that statement, Pilot. Remember, seduction and distraction are a kunoichi's most effective weapons. :nod:

Unfortunately, she has already learned along a different path, having discovered the Secret Ninja Art Of Not Being Seen.
-
First lesson is: Don't stand up. :)
-
Second lesson is DAWN BE A NINJA :nervous:
-
Dawn: Is it true that you became amorous with members of the UEF and some of its ordnance?
-
Wynter: Are you a pro-Terran like Crystal, a Cyrvan supremacist like Isa, a troll like Yaiceca, or someone more... strange, like Luna ?
i have a feeling judging by her simple responses that she's just laid back.
or shyer than dawn.

I'm asking about names again.
Crystal: Is your name really in English? Is "Crystal" just a translated name that you answer to because you work with the LSF? If so, what is your name in Cyrvan?
"The Yehio are kind of bird like in their appearance, though they do not have feathers. Hmmm, lets think of an example to compare them with...
Ah, I suppose they resemble a 'pterosaur' a bit in some aspects. Without any offense intended, they are not the smartest of known races. Their slow reflexes makes them poorly suited for fighter combat and indecisive commanders in simulated strategy games. They are also quick to anger but supposedly make for life long friends once you get to understand them.
They do have a remarkable talent for picking up new languages. Without having much direct contact, over 80% of the Yehio population is already fluent in Terran basic. Because of this, the higher circles are already contemplating if there should be Yehio translators onboard CSA ships to help in the situations where a translator device would fail. Last but not least the Yehio have an incredible fine taste and their kitchen arsenal contains many fine dishes."
So, like this then?

I thought about that too. I guess translated. There are crystals everywhere after all.
Ah, the Yehat. Well spotted. I'll be surprised if that isn't a coincidence.
And Spoon, I'll throw in some questions...
ANYONE BUT YAICECA: Cyrvan ears look rigid and fragile. Are they, or are they flexible? Can you bend them back all the way like Terran ears? And do they do anything that Terran ears can't? Is there a reason they protrude that like that?
ANYONE BUT YAICECA: Is there a known record for fastest running speed or time to sprint a certain distance for Cyrvans? And also a record for highest vertical leap and longest horzontal leap?
-

You do know that you're just asking for Yaiceca to answer those, right?

I'm seconding this question.
Could Cyrvans, in theory, take somebody's eye out with their ears?
-
Hmm. I'm Curious...
Isa: I noticed the list, where would you rate the Trade Emergency Coalition, The Advent, or the Vasari from Sins of a Solar Empire?
What about the Hiigarans from homeworld 2? Where would rate them? What about the Robotech Expeditionary Force from ..well, Robotech? I know that the REF has laughable numbers, but the SDF class vessals would make a huge difference from my understanding.
And what about the united federation of planets? I'm only asking cause, while their ships might not look useful, good GOD can they move.
-
Forget about Robotech. Ask about Marcoss!
In that regard I guess the dimension eater from Macross Frontier would be pretty much instant kill, since the only defense against those is a dimensional fault, which only the Vajra can create (and maybe LAI, well after the series ends.... who can tell).
But one thing I can tell already: A Zy pilot would feel right at home in a Valkyrie, especially with armor-pack (keyword "missile massacre" ;) ).
-
Isa: Where would the FS2-era Shivans be on that list? Surprised nobody asked this, actually.
-
Isa: Where would the FS2-era Shivans be on that list? Surprised nobody asked this, actually.
That might be because it's impossible to know the true strength of the Shivans.
-
Hmm....
Good point. I'll say that it's the FS2-era 80 Saths or something like that.
-
Cyrvans: Ever tried Terran Video Games?
"Yes, and they tend to be stupidly simple and without challenge."
Which ones? If you haven't tried it, I suggest Dwarf Fortress.
Freaking.
Dwarf.
Fortress.
Still "simple and without challenge?"
(A bit late, but its relevant because the new DF release happened! Also, "Terran Video Games" is a bit... generic.)
-
It is today... but maybe in the future there will only be 5 video games. All the "old" (ie our current) stuff was lost due to the UEU outlawing video games (shouldn't be a problem for a government that managed to force practically every Human being to have their children genetically modified pre-birth) and since then only a few halfhearted attempts to revive video gaming have been made.
Though thanks to Misuzus hobby we at least know that mecha-anime survived in some way :lol:
-
Also, whatever ArmA is the current release in your time could be worth a try. Of course, if they managed to fix airplanes and AI.
You might also try "I Wanna Be The Guy" if you want challenge. :)
-

To the list i'd made...
What about the Vorlon Empire? Or the Shadows? What about the humans of Star Blazers?
Hell, could the Vorlons pose a threat to the Hertak? The shadows might, but thats because they love appearing out of freaking nowhere.
Crystal: Have you ever read the Web Comic Schlock Mercenary? If not, you should. Its complete insanity and randomness.
Avoid Narbonic like the plague unless you wish to start being obsessed with Ur-Gurbils.
-
I'm asking about names again.
Crystal: Is your name really in English? Is "Crystal" just a translated name that you answer to because you work with the LSF? If so, what is your name in Cyrvan?
(http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1761/crystala.png)
"Crystal was the closest Terran equivalent. I don't mind it, its pretty close to how you say my name in Cyrvan. "
So, like this then?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMBxBS0tgwk
"Yes. Only eighty percent less scotish, less orange and significantly less pronounced wings and beaks."
To anyone willing and able to answer:
Can you describe what the Yehio homeworld is like (climate, geography and such)?
Are there any Cyrvans resentfull toward the Yehio for sparking of the Cyrvan civil war?
The mention of Terran basic also sparked my interrest. How does it relate to the languages spoken on Earth during the 21st century?
"Cold, windy and mountainous.
There may be a few, but as far as I know there is no major movement of people or political groupings that actively hate the Yehio.
What I read from history articles on the subject: Terran basic is for the most part English with common used words from other european languages mixed in. The UEU wanted the language to be globally spoken so they abolished the teaching of other languages on schools. They also wanted it to be a 'gentlemen's' language so it originally contained very few swear words and insults. It is still the most common spoken language on every Terran colony, though over the years many dialects have naturally developed. Especially after the influence of the UEU on the colonies started to wane."
CRYSTAL: Ah, thank you. To clarify, can the Yehio fly? How long do they live, and what size are they?
"No they cannot.
Around 150 years
Between 150 to 170cm tall"
To any Cyrvan is there anything similar to science fiction in Cyrvan culture and does it influence scientific or cultural development?
"Science fiction has never really been big in Cyrvan culture... I wonder why..?"
ANY CYRVAN BUT YAICECA: Is there any significance as to all the Cyrvans but Emizer having markings on their right cheeks? I know what they are, I'm talking about the placement. Could it be a male/female thing, or all entirely coincidence?
"Coincidence, its a family thing. Both male and female members of the family wear the Hyalj on roughly the same place"
ANYONE BUT YAICECA: Cyrvan ears look rigid and fragile. Are they, or are they flexible? Can you bend them back all the way like Terran ears? And do they do anything that Terran ears can't? Is there a reason they protrude that like that?
"Almost as flexible."
I'm seconding this question.

LUNA: Do you have markings too?

Wynter, how long are your twintails?

"Shoulderblade length.
How long are yours?"
Since noone started on Wynter, here I go.
So, tell us a bit more about you. What rank do you have in the Cyrvan Fleet ? In what ship do you serve/do you command ?
Are you a pro-Terran like Crystal, a Cyrvan supremacist like Isa, a troll like Yaiceca, or someone more... strange, like Luna ?
"I'm currently still a trainee.
I don't really care about Terrans, they are on the otherside of the galaxy. I don't have to deal with them."
er, what's your full name.
"Wynter Celbrat."
Also, going off the background, do you serve on the same ship as Yaiceca?
If so, will you slip some alcohol in her drink for us?
(http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/250/wyntersmile.png)
"Sure."
I cant remember if any of this has been asked before but...
To any Terran what works of Science fiction from the year 2012 or before still survives and is any of it still influential to either fiction or Scientific development in your time?
To all is there any fictional works that have successfully crossed between the two cultures
(http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/249/justicea.png)
"Lord of the Rings and Star trek.
There are several translation projects going on, translating Cyrvan and Terran literature for the reading amusement of both races."
Kunoichi: Have you ever considered learning ninjitsu, just so that your callsign has a less negative reason for being? Also, with the level of tech you people have and a little guidence from Misuzu, a little 'Ninja Magic' wouldn't be out of reach. People would then actively keep an eye out for you, if you kept on appearing in puffs of smoke or dropping down from airvents/ceilings at a moments notice.
Ignore that statement, Pilot. Remember, seduction and distraction are a kunoichi's most effective weapons. :nod:

I would have been extremely surprised if Isa had answered those questions. I was surprised she answered the first batch.
-
Dammit Spoon, you got me listening to the Precursors SC2 remix project again. The Yehat theme is one of my favourites from SC2, and it has some great remixes.
-
ANYONE BUT YAICECA: I've got another question on Cyrvan ears. I saw a TV program recently where some girl was having surgery to have her ears pinned back due to bullying at school over them. It was ridiculous, they didn't even look stuck out, I thought they looked cute. But the bottom line is large ears, at least in my timeline, are looked down upon unfortunately by some of the primitive idiots around. Hopefully such pathetic behaviour will be eradicated by your timeline. Anyway, the bottom line is large ears are not a good thing in my timeline. For a Cyrvan, are large ears good, bad, or does it simply not matter. I was wondering if large or small ears might be deemed more attractive for instance?

Why do you like her so much?
I'll stop trying to avoid her if her attitude improves. Then I'll give her another chance. Can't tell right now, as she didn't show up in the latest batch of answers.
EDIT: Another question, this one for ISA. Why don't you have pupils? All the other members of your race have them that I have seen so far. And all members of my race have them. Why can't I see any in you? I look into your eyes sometimes, and I wonder if it's those eyes that have mesmerised so many people on here to worship you as some sort of mistress/goddess...
-
Psst, artist style is part of the 4th wall. Question not, you should.

There's always the chance that Isa has some sort of neural link to her ship and is actually blind or something.

"Shoulderblade length.

If I had twintails I suspect they'd be about ear length.
By the way, it's refreshing to see a Cyrvan who isn't elitist, insane, tsundere, or Luna. You should apply for a transfer to the JGASF, you'd be welcome there, I think.

Considering her response to me. You might want to avoid irking her. I bet she's got a high powered rifle just for people who irritate her, and it probally creates big ****ing holes.

I doubt Cyrvans can use large weapons. Especially Isa, who looks small to me even for a Cyrvan. However, I wouldn't be surprised if she could whip out something the size of a compact cellphone that can reduce a terran to a pile of ash in one shot. In fact, no one's ever talked about close combat weaponry of the time so...
ANYONE: The more the merrier, can any of you either tell me about some of the close combat weaponry of this age, both in terms of guns and close up weaponry, or maye tell me about what weaponry YOU like to carry? Information about how the other races besides Terrans and Cyrvans fight with guns and up close would also be most welcome.
-
Why would there even be a pile of ash left?

Good question...
I wonder if any Cyrvans have watched Doctor Who?

Because ships in the game still go boom and leave debris. No atomising things just yet. :)

I've seen the new version, but not the old one, only a very, very little of it and the two films. What made you say that? I remember the one with the Daleks and the "disintegrator beam", but that was just a teleportation device mocked up to appear to be a disintegrator.

As for you Wings of Dawn people, that's not an invitation to duck the question. I still want to know more! :)
-
...and Kunoichi.
I've already made the case for being unseen being awesome to her several times. It means you can hit people and they don't know it, among other things.
Firespawn: Duck.
-
Why doesn't the JGASF just get a proper stealth fighter for Kunoichi? Put her talents to use, rather than fielding Crystal or Misuzu every time somebody needs to blow up a reactor.
Kunoichi, what's the intelligence branch of the LSF called? Have you ever considered transferring to SOC?
-
Kunoichi would make a great spy to go into Cyrvan space. Cyrva barely notice Terrans already, so Kunoichi would be even more invisible.
EDIT: I don't think the Cyrva have ninjas, so they'd never expect to face a master like Kunoichi.
-
Considering what happened in WoD1, I'd rather have someone capable and willing of piloting the other(s?) Prometheus frame, since Dawn refused to ever do that again.
-
Have you ever considered transferring to SOC?
I thought the JGASF were the SOC in this universe. They certainly carry the operations Special Forces would.
-
Have you ever considered transferring to SOC?
I thought the JGASF were the SOC in this universe. They certainly carry the operations Special Forces would.
The mainstay of the SOC are black-ops operations. Spying, sabotage, assasination and that kind of stuff. I think that's quite a different portfolio from what the JGASF does.
I'd even go so far to assume that the creation of the 1st JGASF was more politically motivated than an attempt to create an elite fighting force, though luckily for the LSF it did turn out to be one.
And it also showed how well the Terrans and Cyrvans can do, when they work together (even though the support from the side of the CSA was lacking quite a bit). Though some Cyrvans would probably take it as prove that even Terrans can do well, but only as long as they have a Cyrvan telling them what to do.
-
By saying Kunoichi would make a great spy, I'm saying she'd make a great spy for the LTW version of the CIA since she'd be pretending to be an ordinary, invisible civilian. Doing black-ops special forces stuff like SOC is not what I had in mind.

Crystal: is it possible to make shield-penetrating beams for your ships?
-
Considering they havn't done that yet, I guess they can't build shield breaking weapons of that scale yet. Though the existance of the VX-89E tachyon gun shows that at least the Humans are doing research on shield piercing weaonry and that such weapons are indeed possible, though I have no idea a tachyon beam is possible.

I know tachyon beams are old news in general sci-fi, I was talking about wether it's possible within WoD. After all they only have a blob version of it right now, and that is described as being extremely power hungry. I don't think it's easy to turn something that has immense powerdrain already into a beam.

What if you have Cyrvan antimatter reactors powering it, though? Antimatter reactors power all sorts of exotic weapons. Just look at Star Trek.

Yeah, there's the chance, but if it happens, in a twist of irony, it will happen quickly and silently. A slight noise, a bump on the back of your head... and off to the Pearly Gates.
The one you should be worried about is Misuzu. Genki girls aren't known for being tidy and swift, and that applies to them killing people as well.

Misuzu killed off the new Nodera fighter and it's pilot pretty quickly.

Not before delivering a pre-mortem oneliner.
-
Misuzu seems more like the latent yandere type to me. She'll only lose it if you kill Crystal or something.
-
Misuzu seems quite casual about killing to me.
Let's not forget even Kunoichi is a killer. Their job is to fight and kill.
-
On the other hand it's always easier to kill something that is not your own species (or looks almost exactly like you species in case of Cyrvans). And it's also easier to shoot down a vessel and only know intelectually that you just killed someone, rather than look that someone in the eye and still pull the trigger.
Besides I wouldn't use the word killer for them, even if they killed their enemies with swords, because of the reason behind the killing. They are protecting their people and nations from a hostile invasion. That isn't murder, it's self defense.

Yeah they joined in peacetime, but it looks like they are doing well with killing aliens which obviously want to kill them. Remember, there were no diplomatic negotiations, they bumped in like the Shivans. I'm sure this made some pilots thinking that they are just monsters, not real individuals.

A simple solution to this conundrum!
To ALL pilots and crew: How do you deal with the knowledge that, with every ship destroyed, you are directly responsible or aiding in the deaths of sentient creatures ranging from one to a few thousand?
What about you, Crystal? You have possibly the highest bodycount, ranging in the thousands. Does it ever keep you up at night, knowing you silenced the voices of so many, only to hear their screams as they're engulfed in fire, whenever you close your eyes?
I'd imagine that it's different when commanding a warship, each crewmember sharing at least a little of the blame. But you? You pulled the trigger yourself. That must be a hefty burden to carry for the next few centuries, how do you cope with it?
-
I bet Empress Isa's ship has a neural interface so she can hear the screams directly through her ship's sensors.
(Also, now that we're on the subject of coping with taking lives, I cant help but imagine Misuzu constantly being egged on by her imaginary childhood friend Strike Freedom.)
-
Strike Freedom.
Mmmm... beam spam... glorious....
Moving on...
To anyone that's willing to respond: What's your favorite weapon?

But they learned later that their enemies except the Hertak were just thralls, and even the Hertak themselves were acting out of self preservation rather than conquest. Yet they carried on killing cheerfully. Not that there's anything wrong with that, that's what soldiers do. The ideal soldier would be someone who isn't emotionally effected by killing.

Well, what would you suggest? In a protracted conflict, caring about your victims would be detrimental. I don't mean place no value on life, killing should still be the last resort, but if it has to be done, then being able to accept it without being emotionaly tormented by it would be best I feel. Better than enjoying it, as you could end up craving more when the war ended, or taking liberties during it.

Do I smell another split? Morality during warfare is thin ice, we better drop the subject.
-
About not discussing it among ourselfs (in here), I agree.
But I too am interrested in how the JGASF crew handles the matter.
To anyone willing and able to answer:
Now that the Hertak lost their old extremist leaders, have there been any attempts to convince the remaining Hertak that Humans are not a thrall of their enemies and thus be able to negotiate at least a cease fire?
Considering the LSF and JGASF wiped out their entire royal line an outright peace treaty is very unlikely, but ending open hostilities does sound like a good idea.
On a similar note:
Do Humans and Cyrvans have any idea what's going on with the Hertak? I suppose the most likely results of the war would be a splintering into smaller groups (probably lead by former governors/mayors/whatever or high ranking military officers), each trying to consolidate themselfs as the new leaders either by political means, or maybe even through civil war.
While this would make it virtually impossible to sign any treaty with the whole Hertak race, it would also weaken the position of each group in the negotiations and thus make it more likely to get at least some of the Hertak to sign the cease fire.

I would rather guess that the Zy (especially the Zy, considering WoD 2), the Cordi and the Fura'ngle won't let happen something like that. I still hope they're angry enough to kill them all.
EDIT: Or they do it while the Hertak are distracted with their own problems.
Oh, now I have a question to anyone.
When the Hertak ruled, they restricted the technology of the three races. How powerful are their ships now? Does anyone know if the Zy "Home Fleet" returned back?
-
What to do about the Hertak is an interesting one. Extermination or subjugation honestly seem the best things to do under the circumstances. The Hertak believe a super race is coming for them. So they must grow strong enough to combat said race. That is at our expense. That cannot be allowed. It is the law of the jungle when an aggressor enters the territory of another animal. And it is the same here. That super race has no beef with any of us, so only the Hertak are a threat.
Although the Hertak story seems very flimsy. You don't say to someone "we're going to exterminate your race. But we'll do it later and let you make it harder for us when we come back." Sounds like just a pretext for a ruler to whip up the people to go to war.
Unless that race would prefer the Hertak to do the dirty work of a larger plan, let the Hertak sweep across the galaxy, weakening or wiping out the other races, then come in at the most opportune time and conquer everyone and take everything. I wouldn't mind having a chat with the Hertak about the specifics of this other race, especially if any have this enconter in their shared memory still. Maybe the Hertak themselves are just unwitting battle thralls, pawns in the strategy of another race...
Spoon, you reading this? That's Wings of Dawn 3 right there... :D

No, but advanced intel does. To someone sufficiently paranoid, a prophecy counts as intel. Sufficiently paranoid people are exponentially harder to kill.

You mean the light fighters that get instantly vaporized by the main beams on an Armageddon? Infi's biggest contribution against the Hertak is crashing into the Flagship's engines to buy a few seconds for Crystal to shoot the core--and there's no way a Prometheus Frame could have even fit inside.
There are too many coincidences: Dawn HAPPENS to be pulled forward in time, she HAPPENS to arrive specifically when her species is at war with the Hertak, she HAPPENS to be uniquely capable of flying the only ship in the known universe capable of stopping pinning down the Hertak Flagship long enough to destroy it. Also, the series is named after her. If I didn't know better, I'd say the LSF/CSA are unwitting battle thralls.
That got me thinking. Crystal, how bad were LSF losses during the battle with the Flagship and its fleet?
-
You're all missing the point here, that is, if this race even exists and isn't a fabrication cooked up by the Hertak leadership, that race could have destroyed the Hertak any time it wanted. And with the shared memory thing, I'd say the Hertak would be the most dangerous race to leave alive also. It doesn't make sense. If you want someone dead, you kill them. You don't wait for them to get stronger. How long ago was it I wonder? If it even happened. Had our ancestors even come down from the trees yet? Or still living in caves? The Cyrva were probably still harmless at the time too.
My money would be on Spoon at the time just inventing it as a reason for the Hertak to be attacking, and nothing else. But as for it coming into play in the future, I could potentially see it happening...
Oh, and WYNTER, come out and tell us more about yourself please. And if there's anyone else lurking around in the background, can you come out too? Especially any Zy. I'd like very much to see some Zy.

What if the race the Hertak are afraid of planned all of that? As you say, too many coincidences, and when too many coincidences happen in a string, it's because someone made it so.

Again, why would they bother with all that if they had the power to do whatever they wanted back then? Why go to all that trouble?

So they decided to just stop off and say "Hey, we're gonna kill you later. Bye!"
I don't think so. Plus, the other race was wiped out. So they could have gone back and done it.

Wut?
Just to make it clear. The Aleyurians (the race you're talking about) should have exterminated the Hertak. And why should they exterminate them immediately? Maybe, they're like the Ancients in the Freespace universe (rather said, the ASW-verse), a race searching for a comparable adversary? Maybe they're just Harbingers for something even worse. Or vice versa, the Aleyurians disappeared cause of a bigger threat.
Maybe they're like the Reapers from Mass Effect and they waited until more species evolved in order to kill them all?
The Fir'Kyr, the other ancient species, wasn't extinguished, because they're going to appear in WoD 2. :D
Anyway, Spoon high likely has a good reason for telling the story that way. It wouldn't make any sense if not.

Sorry, I mixed the two races up. The Hertak recognised the ship Dawn had too, which validates their story. Perhaps we can have a nice little chat with the Hertak and say "Look, your feared race is gone now. So can we all be friends now?" Even if their name does sound like hurt and attack...
I suppose then though they'd say no, because they'll come back one day.
It is true though, they may have left rather than have been wiped out. However, I wouldn't want to take sides against a race we'd never even met before. Maybe we need to put Dawn in another of those ships. I know she said she wouldn't fly again, but maybe she can quiz the AI within about this.
On the idea of fleeing a greater threat, I had an idea. Maybe they wanted to whip the Hertak up, so they'd grow strong, and provide a buffer between them and the greater threat...
-
The Hertak did NOT recognize the Prometheus frame. I think what they said was something like this "Such power... could it be them?".
They just saw how powerfull that comparetively small ship was and thus concluded that it could only be the enemy spoken of in the ancient prophecies.
And maybe there is no all powerfull enemy species, that's going to wipe the Hertak out. Maybe it was just a self-fullfilling prophecy having nothing to do with the invasion in the Hertak's past.
The prophet saw the events of the last battle of WoD and wrote it down in some obscure way. And later the Hertak misinterpreted it into some horrible enemy coming for them in the future and decided they'd have to conquer all the known universe to be strong enough to repell them... which turned out to be the reason for the powerfull enemy to come to blows with them.
That super race has no beef with any of us, so only the Hertak are a threat.
'The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. No more, no less'

"At the end of the operation only 43% of the fleet was still in a fighting condition."
Crystal: is it possible to make shield-penetrating beams for your ships?
"At the moment, no. Not with Tachyon weapons at least.
The majority of the shield systems in use are by default on stand by mode. Only becoming briefly active when it detects an incoming attack so it can block it. Tachyon weapons work because due to the odd properties of Tachyon particles, the majority of shield systems fail to detect the attack in time and thus do not activate. A sustained Tachyon beam for that reason would only work briefly. Perhaps there is merit in using a Tachyon beam for AA purposes but they are not the most energy effective weapons for that purpose."
Anyway, the bottom line is large ears are not a good thing in my timeline. For a Cyrvan, are large ears good, bad, or does it simply not matter. I was wondering if large or small ears might be deemed more attractive for instance?
"Well, a person may have a preference for smaller or larger ears but there is no commonly accepted beauty standard or anything."

It doesn't really bother me much to be honest. They invaded, they paid the price for it. There's also the factor that, despite being sentient, they are alien races... I might be more concerned about it if it was a ship full of Terrans or Cyrvans."

Why doesn't the JGASF just get a proper stealth fighter for Kunoichi? Put her talents to use, rather than fielding Crystal or Misuzu every time somebody needs to blow up a reactor.
Kunoichi, what's the intelligence branch of the LSF called? Have you ever considered transferring to SOC?
Kunoichi would make a great spy to go into Cyrvan space. Cyrva barely notice Terrans already, so Kunoichi would be even more invisible.
EDIT: I don't think the Cyrva have ninjas, so they'd never expect to face a master like Kunoichi.
By saying Kunoichi would make a great spy, I'm saying she'd make a great spy for the LTW version of the CIA since she'd be pretending to be an ordinary, invisible civilian. Doing black-ops special forces stuff like SOC is not what I had in mind.

Great work guys... Kunoichi, would you at least let me live?
To anyone that's willing to respond: What's your favorite weapon?
"My hyperweapon, gahaha"
...Uhmm.... W-Why do you always come out of nowhere when I least expect it? :nervous:

Rance forever!
Now of course I have to worry about ninjas. And I suspect Kunoichi can catch me if I'm on fire, so that's out.

Kunoichi's more likely to be more concerned about putting the fire out on you first, instead of catching you.

Crystal: is it possible to make shield-penetrating beams for your ships?
"At the moment, no. Not with Tachyon weapons at least.
The majority of the shield systems in use are by default on stand by mode. Only becoming briefly active when it detects an incoming attack so it can block it. Tachyon weapons work because due to the odd properties of Tachyon particles, the majority of shield systems fail to detect the attack in time and thus do not activate. A sustained Tachyon beam for that reason would only work briefly. Perhaps there is merit in using a Tachyon beam for AA purposes but they are not the most energy effective weapons for that purpose."
Would a Tachyon beam that rapidly switches between on and off for the duration of the shot fool shield systems into remaining off?

Kunoichi probably feels like we're doing this to her http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWCVfBD9Pzo
It's like Murphy's Law applied to socialization - anything you try to say to her just makes her madder at you.
I hate when it's like Murphy's Law applied to socialization, because I get a variant that almost every time I try to make new friends IRL I wind up with yet another person with whom I want absolutely nothing to do with.
Well, maybe apologies would still help, but I will say I know by experience that there's a low point at which they most certainly will not.
Haha I think I sound emo right now.

Kunoichi, if I buy you a Pangalactic Garlgleblaster (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Boo9llCz4CM) and give you Dekker as a sex slave, would you consider letting me live?
And Crystal, while it's heartening to hear that you would have issues with killing the same amount of Terrans, I can't help but feel chilled to the bones by your response. Perhaps it's to do with your race's biology.
-
:nervous:
Appreciate what you have before it becomes what you had.
-

Are you suggesting we rely on her inherent decency? I'd say that's not a bad plan, but I kinda want to see her beat some people up just to watch the other JGASF pilots react.

The LSF, CSA and JGASF were not fighting for economic, political, religous or terretorial reasons. They were defending against unprovoked enslavement and genocide on an interplanetary scale.
If not emphasizing with aliens doing that chills you so badly, you should never try to seriously think about the history of wars of our own planet, or the disposition of many current political and military leaders...
-
I'm just surprised at her feelings regarding it, I thought that elves were supposed to revere and respect all life.
This is proof that you truly are Isa's sister.
I look forward to the day you see the truth and join our Empress in her crusade to unite the galaxy under her loving, iron grip.
-
You do realize that you are talking about a race that went to war with the Terrans over wether we should be allowed to defend ourselfs, or have them do it for us, right?
-
You maka a valid argument good sir, but let me put forward this....
:warp:
-
Misuzu, what would your retaliatory prank be, if someone put itching powder in your flightsuit before you leave on a long range patrol? Would it differ in any large way depending on who did it?
-
You know what?
I think it'd be best if Misuzu left you guessing. :lol:
-
Hey Dude, will you be fighting on the Cryvan front, and what's your name?

Urge...to punch out those teeth. Rising >_>.

Rance, why are you captain of a Skirmisher and not a Challenger? The latter is more hyperweapon-ish.

Skirmisher has more Dakka, I guess. He seems to like missile'n'beamspam.
We need more terran commanders like him.
-
I'd rather be captain of a Skirmisher than a Challenger. Especially if you're talking about the older Challenger.
But you're probably talking about the newer one. But my opinion still holds.
-
Urge...to punch out those teeth. Rising >_>.
It'd be like punching a drawer full of knives. Those teeth are SHARP.

If he accidentally bites his tongue, or the side of his mouth, he'll know about it.
When I first saw him, that was my first thought "what's with the teeth?"
-
Or maybe he has some kind of leathery man-mouth that can handle it :D
-
When I first saw him, that was my first thought "what's with the teeth?"
I think he does that to appear more menacing to his enemies. And to the women he comes across.
But that's what his HYPERWEAPON is for.
-
anyone: do the cordi have a different approach to warfare by WOD2?
Oh and happy belated birthday spoon.
-
Oh, there's another question. Girls of the JGASF and related parties, when are your birthdays?
-
WYNTER: The caps thing is just an aid. I do it for everyone. But you are still important to me. I have high hopes for you, we need another nice Cyrvan who won’t talk down to us. And well, if you can live 1,000 years or so, what’s a little loafing off? So please, tell me some more about you. Your twin sister wouldn’t be Yaiceca, would it? You seemed awfully cheery about the idea of putting alcohol in her drink…
CRYSTAL, thanks for answering my question. It’s nice to know the ears are a matter of taste in your culture and nothing more. As for some of these others, I have no problem with you feeling nothing for these other alien races and all the lives you ended. You just did what you had to do, no more, no less. You have nothing to feel any guilt over for me. Speaking of guilt, any idea which of our two races feels the emotion of guilt more strongly? Also, guilt over something can stay with a Terran from a young age to the grave at an old age. Can it stay with a Cyrvan the same way, or would the vast time difference see it fade away?
KUNOICHI, why did you include my comment in there with the rest of them? I’m insulted by that. Especially when I get put on your “death list”. So can you just come back here and calm down, hmmm?
I don’t get the deal with this Rance. I’ve seen it before, there’s like a joke with him that I’m not in on. What’s the deal with him? Nice to see the colour pic btw.

Rance is from a series of eroge. His hobbies are GAHAHAing and terrorizing the womenfolk with his hyperweapon.
Rance, are you disappointed that your ship wasn't assigned to the JGASF?
-
We have Rance as an LSF Captain now? AWESOME.

Thanks. This Rance, I looked at the wiki page. From what little is there, it seems like taking him up into space might give you a kind of anime version of Zapp Brannigan. Though he'd probably be a lot more competant at least.
As for the JGASF, I'm sure Rance is very disappointed, unless there are lots of females around his ship. Half of me thinks keep him away from the JGASF. The other half, bring him in. It would be funny to watch him chased from the ship by all the females. Maybe they might even shoot him out the airlock, ha ha. He and his "hyperweapon" would be no match for the crew of the JGASF.
Keep him away from the Cyrvans. Or we might have another war on our hands...
I had to look twice at him when I saw him in the first game. I wondered if it might be a picture of Luca Blight at first...

Crystal.................
Have you got any Steak? ;7

Belay that. Let's introduce him to Yaiceca.
It's for a greater good.

Yaiceca would crush him. :)

She would call him Jekker or Jegga.

We should ask Isa to use her scathing wit to cut him down.

They're talking about some anime guy with a big weapon :doubt:

Just highlighting the similarities between the two of you, dear brother.
(why do I start thinking in Liquid Snake/Ocelot's voice whenever I say or write "brother"?)
-
Well, I wouldn't have seen the similarity if you guys hadn't started pointing it out.
Now that you've started pointing it out though... I cannot unsee the similarity

I have no metaphor weapon.

Yes you do!

Back on topic,
LADIES! Could you please do for us, a reenactment to the masterpiece that is the original translated intro for Zero Wing. Misuzu, if you do even just one line from it, I will become your slave and do (almost) ANYTHING you tell me to do......For fifteen minutes.
-
You people are truly desparate. Most of us carry our irrational fetishes and fantasies inside of ourselves, being self-concious enough to recognize that they are as such. What ever happened to self respect?..
And all you need to consider for re-enacting the Zero Wing introduction is the following:

Bit character status in final cut of the game in 3...2...

I know this is back seat moderating but i would suggest perhaps splitting out the posts made recently which are fairly irrelevant to the threads intent and locking this thread until WoD2 is released so we have new questions to ask the crew?

Yaiceca. I am going to peel your life away ever so slowly and ever so painfully when I get my hands on you.
And I will get my hands on you.
And it will be... exquisite.
EDIT: Any other Cyrvan: Will you be mad at me if I do that with Yaiceca?
-

I just peed a little... :shaking:
Also I have a (somewhat) serious question for Justice.
I assume that most, if not all, ships have some sort of simulated gravity. Could we get a quick answer on how it's created, if it affects the body after a while and if it's implemented in fightercraft?
*Also, here's a free copy of the Crystal fanfic...*

Awwww, don't be afraid, Firespawn. Anyway, I am having some second thoughts. Why indulge myself in the short term, when I can look to the long term? Perhaps I shall kill her quickly, and stuff and mount her instead. I think I would quite like to wake up in the morning, and the first thing I see be her smug face.
-
Gettin' creepy...[/guybrush] :)

Gettin' creepy...[/guybrush] :)
You might be right. Perhaps I should have her smile sweetly instead. She might creep my visitors out otherwise.
On another note, I want a character who can tell people I'm busy for me too! Where can I get one? :D
EDIT: Oh, and I have a question that anyone can answer: I am of course still new to this universe. Does anyone know where I can find someone or something who will stuff Yaiceca for me for a reasonable price and with lifelike work quality? Is there a market for stuffed Cyrvans?
-
The Hertak will do it for you, I'm sure. You know, what with the generational skills.
-
Dekker would quite happily stuff her, and probably do it for free. ;7
-
So much for behaving better to prove her opinion of our race wrong....
-

Shame the Hertak are not on friendly terms with us at the moment though. Maybe if I let them have some fun with Yaiceca too, it might sweeten the deal though...

That's not what I meant... :lol:
Besides, I can do that too... :pimp:

It is my hope that the other Cyrvans won't mind. Really, I'll be doing them a huge favour if I can put Yaiceca out of their misery for the next thousand years. Imagine having to deal with Yaiceca for a thousand years... :nervous:
That is worse than anything I could possibly do to her.

Mine's worth paying for though, a Freebie is an incentive to partake. ;7

Following headdie's advice I'm going to put a period behind this thread for now. The sillyness (and creepiness) has reached over ninethousand (a while ago). And most questions have probably been asked by now.
There'll be one more post with answered questions following this one sometime in the near future.
