Capsule Corporation revamping their Shield Technology
CCNN Report:
Already having a very strong Armor Technology, (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=74364&highlight=) Capsule Corporation is in deep research of a complimentary energy technology. So far, they have just been using basic deflector shields, but they are now in research of a ray-shielding (anti-energy weapon) technology. They have already begun testing on some prototypes, but sadly, the energy requirements are very high. If CC ships were to implement this shielding, they could only have the shielding temporarily, or it wouldn't be too powerful.
CC is currently trying to create a less demanding version of this technology. If any nations have energy-weapon shielding technology that might be able to help us in our goal, please help us! There is no need for a shield that protects against force, we only need shields that can deflect weapons such as disruptors and lasers and plasma cannons.
We are happy to provide you with our shield technology, but we will not give it freely. It has the potential to be very powerful, more so then we are comfortable giving freely to any but our closest allies.
We are happy to provide you with our shield technology, but we will not give it freely. It has the potential to be very powerful, more so then we are comfortable giving freely to any but our closest allies.Care to explain what it is? OOC: nothing in super technical data, just what it is, how it deflects, and what it can and can't do.
The Xanthalian shield comes in eleven types, all operating on the same principle but varying in strength and size.
Type I shields deflect one hit from most standard weaponry, then collapse. They require only a very small generator, which is why we use them on our Slipfighters.
Type II, III, IV, and V shields hug the hull of the ship they are shielding and require increasing sizes of generators to maintain. They can deflect any type of weaponry for at least one hit, and are capable of sustaining a continued assault of standard weaponry for up to five minutes.
Type VI, VII, and VIII shields create a sphereoid around a ship, and are capable of sustaining prolonged attacks of both standard and secondary weapons for about ten minutes.
Type IX and X shields can encompass anything; ship, station, or even planet if the generator is made big enough. They are extremely powerful and can take a number of hits from even the most powerful weapons before failing. Against conventional weapons they can hold for up to half an hour.
Type Z shields are the most powerful shields possible to create with the technology. They require a massive central generator, and projection panels to sustain, but in operation extend a thick barrier of variable size and shape around the object it is installed on capable of sustaining continuous attack from even planet-killing weaponry for up to fifteen minutes. Faced with more conventional attacks it's protection is almost limitless. However, these shields consume massive amounts of power, and are installed only on vital ships, stations, and planets; and activated only when necessary.
If you are interested in purchasing the technology we would be glad to review some of your own technology and select some for our own use as payment.
We are interested in types IV through VII. How much would these cost for the rights and plans?
It's all the same technology. Buy the principle behind one, you buy them all by default. As for cost... We are not interested in money. With the resources afforded by our vast territory we are more than rich enough. What we desire in return is technology. New technology that we do not have, so that we may learn, grow, and become better. Do you have technology to share with us?
Oh, we have great technology unique to us... but SHielding is something we have not researched much.
We have:
Farad Technology (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=64664)
Chlorophusion Technology (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=66190)
LiquidMetal^2 Armor Technology (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=74364&highlight=)
Chloro-Borg Technology (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=74141&highlight=)
Space-Folding Drive [No Essays available on NS, I will write one later]
I would suppose that you would probably want the LiquidMetal^2 Armor technology... a defense for a defense.
If you would be willing to share your Chloro-Borg nanite and Farad technology with us we would consider our shield technology more than paid for.
Chloro-Borg technology is a valuable technology that we would be able to sell, but the problem with it is that you have to grow the cells themselves, they do not replicate. We have many "Gardens" producing them, but the procedures to convert a whole ship or even a whole person are very expensive. So even though we can give you the technology, it will be very hard to replicate the technology for yourselves. You would have to take the Chlorophusion Technology with it.
The Farad system has MANY uses not listed in those reports, besides being a ship-based weapons system or defensive system, we have successfully applied it to a personal assault weapon, as well as multiply applications as a planetary defense shield.
So basically, either Just Farad, or both Chlorophusion and Chloro-Borg.
We... Do not require Chlorophusion. We have discovered the process, but not a way to apply it. Our energy sources are more efficient and reliable. This new Chloro-Borg technology though... It presents a use for us. That is why chlorophusion is not relevant to this discussion. Still... If you have some objection to giving us both your Chloro-Borg and Farad technology we can... Attempt to find a new agreement.
You have chlorophusion? or just some other form of Organic Fusion?
And the reason why Chlorophusion cells are necessary in Chloro-Borg Technology is for their ability to prove a microscopic power source. If you have some sort of a microsopic Power Source, then go ahead and consider it a fdone deal, Chloro-Borg and Farad for your shields!

Sorry to hijack... but Xanthal... I would be interested in purchasing some blueprints or... designs to some of your shielding. This would help greatly in our current endeavors with "Asgard," our planetary defense system currently being built.
Most acceptable CC... We will send a file with the technology immediately, openable upon our reciept of your technology. With luck we will submit a plan for use of your technology on Xanthalian ships within a few years. We thank you for your contribution to helping Xanthal become a better place for everyone.
The thanks of us all,
-Sakisu Neesani; officer of the Xanthalian Ministry of Commerce.

What technology can you offer us in exchange?

Well... I have a system of "Instant Transmission" I'm in the final stages of developing. It involves the use of chaotic particles and whatnot to instantly transmit information. I can give you more details... but probably via telegram so we dont hijack CC's thread anymore. :wink:
Anyways yeah... its not much... but its what I can think of off the top of my head.
Then we await your telegram.
Thank you Xanthal. A secure document is being delivered physically to your nation with escort.
OOC: I think I'm gonna go ahead and post my Space-Fold technology short-essay tonight... anyone wanna help me?
Sorry, it's 12:10 AM here and I need to get up at 6:30 for school. Goodnight all, for a while.
S'allright, i'll just make the essay here... klonor helped me make it realistic.
*will post in a moment*
Current Capsule Corporation FTL Technology:
All larger Capsule Corporation ships, also known as the FoldShips, are equipped with a Space-Fold Drive. This drive consumes a great amount of energy, one we've only been able to provide with the Chlorophusion Power Technology (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=66190), to pull two points in space together, allowing instant teleportation between two points. THis is called "Space-Fold" because it is much like the analogy of drawing two points on a piece of paper, then literally bringing the two points together by folding the paper rather than drawing a line between them. Obviously this ability grows significantly harder with distance, which is why our largest, most efficient Space-Fold Drive in existance is only able to reach a maximum of 500 light years. Also, another note on the fold drive is that when it folds, a "bubble" surrounds the ship, and anything in that bubble gets sucked into the fold with it.
For long range travel, all Capsule Corporation Ships (with the exception of the production short-range fighters) are equipped with Hyperdrives. Hyperspace ((this is the Star Wars type hyperspace I am speaking of)) is a plane of easy movement that exists slightly beneath normalspace. Propells you at high speeds through a "tunnel" of hyperspace you create with energy in your ship... the better the hyperdrive the faster it goes. Hyperdrive Multipliers is a scale relative to the average corvette... usually fighters can make a coefficient of 1, hot rods can make .5, and big capital ships can make around 6... Hyperdrive Multiplier=x1 = roughly 1,000,000c/1... as a simple rule, just divide 10^6c by the multiplier number.
And finally, for communication, Subspace Transceivers allow a ship to transmitt a message through subspace, an actual plane of existance completely beneath realspace. Lightspeed is almost instantaneous here, and thus, transmissions can be almost instantaneous. The average heavy Subspace Tranmsceiver has an active range of about 5,000 light years.
Recently out of the research (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=84189&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=) stage is a mixture of the Hyperdrive and the Space Fold Drive, called the Cascading Hyperspace Fold Drive. This system is being installed on every FoldShip, and will allow mini fold jumps INSIDE hyperspace, allowing very rapid travel for FoldShips at about 10 Million C (1200 ly/hour) relative to realspace.

We are willing to trade our new shield technology for your Cascading Hyperspace Fold Drive. Interested?
You are ambitious with this FTL thing. How deep did you dig to find this relic?

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Actually, the link to it was about 4 pages back in my post history.
We are willing to trade our new shield technology for your Cascading Hyperspace Fold Drive. Interested?LOL we recently got our shield tech revamped from Xanthal... what do you have to trade? And keep in mind that when you ask for the CHF Drive that you are asking for the component Hyperdrive and Space fold technologies as well... so getting all 3 will be far more expensive than a slight shield upgade... we may be able to trade for JUST the hyperdrive though...

We have Selective Shield Technology to trade.
Selective Shield Technology is a Heavy-duty, high strength Shield form that uses transmitter chips, a receiver, and a regular Heavy Duty Shield.
When a Friendly vessel approaches, the Transmitter chip emits a unique code. The receiving ship's FOFI (Friend or Foe Identifier) confirms that the vessel is friendly (This keeps enemies from stealing the chips and using them to infiltrate your vessel). Once confirmed, a Sensor installed in the Receiver records the exact size and shape of the vessel, and transmits the data to the Shield generator, which opens a section in the shield with the exact specifications of the vessel. It's like dipping a toy car in the water. The water does not part back around the car, the water form-fits the car. Same for this shield. It changes the dimensions and shape of the opening as the ship passes through, ensuring that no enemy fire may infiltrate the shield at any time during this process.
This shield is a one-way shield, therefore you may fire missiles, bullets, lasers, whatever, without it bouncing around inside the shield. (Many people don't take into account that an improperly designed shield can reflect weapons fire from the inside, too.
Sounds cool.. I'm sure we could find a use for it.
Consider it a straight-across trade, hyperdrive tech for your shield tech... but no, you probably won't get it ready to go on all your ships in 6 days ;)

We can have the Cradle build them, and then send them out during the battle, if they are built in time. And, if need be, we are willing to sacrifice the Cradle for the safety of the Battlegroup. (OOC: Ever read Halo: The Fall of Reach?)

(OOC: Ever read Halo: The Fall of Reach?)In the battle? You misunderstand... the battle will be short and quick... like 10 minutes of superheated battle. If you're going to upgrade, do it in hyperspace... if that is possible :)
