In light of the recent conflict in Trixia, and the fact it'd be really kewl, we've decided to build a death star.

We have a good economy and hard-working peoples. ANd we're gona go for it.

We know that it will be very expensive, so we are asking for donations. In return for your donations, you will be put on a protection list that will be pinned up in the death star control room for all to see. And if you need us, we'll be there.

All donations greatly recieved.

We can donate seven hundred thousand tons of cardboard for this grand endevour.

This would be the biggest GODMOD NS has seen-don't bother.

Thankyou!

That brings the completion to....

:wink:

*Points out 'good' economy = level 8 of 15*

But...

We recently bulldozed our rainforests in favour of Uranium mining...

Our cardboard production is therefore up 400%.

Wanna buy building materials? 1000 DAC/ ton (= 10 Euro/ ton)

~ Ministry for international mockery and economic development, DA

We're willing to donate some oil crayons, so you can write "Tihs 1s +3h DAETH STRA!!!!1 OMG LOLERRZ" on the cardboard.

This would be the biggest GODMOD NS has seen-don't bother.

Ah, It would be a GODMOD if i just said, "Hey! i've gota death star! BOW DOWN TO ME!"

But as you can see, i'm not, and if lots of nation contributed, the vast resources required would become realised, and not just 'made-up'.

So i'd have to disagree with ya on that one TIN.

Plus i'm no newbie, so i wouldn't go round wiping out people... :wink:

Well we can sell you the TIEs to go in it!

I sincerely hope this isn`t an offer to Trixia...

That was some guy determined to compete with my corporation-which don't even sell TIE's and never have...

Abbadon Bantz, Chancellor of the Dominion of Bantz & CEO of The Bantz Corporation quoted in a rare generous mood:

"So lemme get this straight just so I understand what you are telling me. They are building a big marble shaped gun... in space? And they want donations! Hell, send them 10000 tons of steel and some engineers if they want them too. This is so nuts I almost like it! Oh, and steal the plans of course. I assume that goes without saying though... "

Death star? Don't make me laugh. That's a HUGE godmod if I've ever seen one.

Stone River will gladly send Trixia a monetary donation of $500,000 towards the construction of their new defence weapon.

Death star? Don't make me laugh. That's a HUGE godmod if I've ever seen one.

err, i think this is a joke thread. people are donating paper mache for gods sake.

but i always kind of wondered. why build it. you can easily find an asteroid of the right size and shape. then carve it to suit. to build it out of sheet metal always kind of baffled me.

OOC: O NO! A PAPER MACHE/CARDBOARD DEATH STAR! WE'RE DOOMED! THANK GOODNESS HE IS NOT PUTTING POLYSTER INTO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS DOOMSDAY WEAPON!

but i always kind of wondered. why build it. you can easily find an asteroid of the right size and shape. then carve it to suit. to build it out of sheet metal always kind of baffled me.Why carve anything?

Just give it a good firm kick in the right direction, maybe install a few sensor scramblers on it to hide it from those pesky space fleets and then just sit back and watch. Planet made useless, enemy crippled, fleet without supply lines... and not one godmod.

On a more jovial note:

You're gonna need a superlaser. I can loan you the one I stole from The Sean Empire after he ceased to be. It's sitting in my Great Godmodding Museum of NS History.(Believe it? Not!)

Good evening...
Sing a little song...
It's for you...

Hanging in the stars
Suspended from the dark
Life is long and heavy
Like a shadow on a spark
And it will blow

Massive killer orb
Hovering around
Looking for a spot
To blast the good guys on the ground
Before they know
What hit 'em
From above

It's the...
Deeeeeeeath Star!
Something so incre-di-ble
Deeeeeeeath Star!
Something indestru-cti-ble
Deeeeeeeath Star!
Massive and mani-a-cal
Deeeeeeeath Star!
Teeny weeny vul-nera-ble hole

Somewhere deep inside
Shifty to the core
The tank is full and fueled
By the Dark Side of the Force
That makes it go
To and fro
Killing

Black hearted ball
Roll the devil's dice
Destroy it one more time
Cuz it's so good they built it twice
But now no more
No more
No more

It's the...
Deeeeeeeath Star!
Something so incre-di-ble
Deeeeeeeath Star!
Something indestru-cti-ble
Deeeeeeeath Star!
Massive and mani-a-cal
Deeeeeeeath Star!
Teeny weeny vul-nera-ble
Deeeeeeeath Star!
Something so incre-di-ble
Deeeeeeeath Star!
Something indestru-cti-ble
Deeeeeeeath Star!
Massive and mani-a-cal
Deeeeeeeath Star!
Teeny weeny vul-nera-ble hole

Goodbye, Death Star
You were...
The largest weapon
Ever manufactured...

Nice one SLAGlands :lol:
Did ya think that up yourself?

Bwahahaha Deathstarr=WIN!!!!!

Anyone else reading that song while humming "in the navy", by village people?

More on topic!

Valonia would like to donate 10 gallons of Black Paint to this brave endeavour.

If you ever give up on your death star, Xanthal could build you an Apocalypse class starship in exchange for $50,000,000,000,000 and free access to all of your technology.

“Geordi, Trixia is building a DEATH STAR! They must be really strong!”

“Don’t be a moron. Everyone knows that ST is better than SW. After all, lasers can’t penetrate ST shields, so that means that a small runabout can easily shrug off a blast from the Death Star.”

“You’re right Geordi. You are smart.”

“Damn right I am.”

I donate sheet metal if I can use it when needed.

We're going to work on building small one-man fighter planes instead thanks.

Well, that along with the 'midiclorian' thing suggests that George Lucas knows nothing about science, rather than some explainable ubertech.

I was talking about the whole 'star trek is immune to lasers' nonsense. Despite the fact that we've seen the Borg slice and dice federation ships with 'some type of laser beam,' which clearly over-rides a throwaway piece of hyperbole picard spat out about some primative race's lasers.

Despite the fact that we've seen the Borg slice and dice federation ships with 'some type of laser beam,' which clearly over-rides a throwaway piece of hyperbole picard spat out about some primative race's lasers.Umm... I specifically the remember the dialogue...

Worf: "They are armed with Laser weaponry... It wouldn't even penetrate our deflector shield!"

Now, there is a BIG difference between a 5MW LASER beam and a cutting laser so powerful and so intense that it can be seen in a vacuum and cut through a starship's energy-reinforced hull...

Yes, and one that can destroy a planet. Thus being the point of why claims that a runabout can withstand a superlaser blast are, at best jokes, and at worst, total idiocy that shames the species as a whole.

This debate is pointless!!

Everyone knows that one "Zig" could wipe out the entire SW and ST fleets in a matter of hours! Using the fancy "Green" shooty guns which would easily penetrate your shields. Admittidly, only one "Zig" at a time but that's just being sporting, considering one lot is piloted by overly dramatic idiots in white armour and the other lot are using Windows XP to operate their entire fleet.


For Great Justice!

My biggest issue with Star Trek, aside from their stupid limitations on MT (possibly the biggest god-mode on the entire show) that converts material into information and then transports that information to somewhere else in a beam and then re-materialise it. What’s to stop someone from just “copy and pasting” humans that way?

Ahem… anyways, one to one of my annoyances with the programme… all the aliens look so goddamn the same. If I were to offer them an ice cream cone, they would all say “yes”*.

Honestly though, all they do is make a different nose or a different pattern on the head. Then they call it an alien, who has some culture ripped off from a culture you may find on Earth. Failing that they will have the same emotions and reactions and get along really well with all the humans.

Where as Star Wars, which doesn’t make a point of telling me how they spent all that time on getting the science right like Star Trek does, has aliens that are in fact, alien. They don’t speak the same (or use universal translators) and they do things differently with weird fun tech.

I don’t take Star Wars seriously, it’s a good film and all but it’s not the pillar of science that other try to be, like Star Trek… I used to like Star Trek, but now it’s just predictable and they have no ugly people… or at least, not the human ones.

Well, rarely enough for me, in Star Trek's defence, that's been done. Commander Riker has a transporter created copy.

I know, but they used some poor excuse like "the beam was refracted" or something... damn, then why didn't we just get lots of red goo? It's also a shame we never see the result of the early experiments of MT where they turn cows inside out or something.

Their seemingly limitless use of the teleporters (used to give them food by using unholy amounts of energy) can store the information required to make hot dishes and so on, what’s stopping them from storing human patterns and then “resurrecting them” if they died. It’s probably the ethics they innately have. But they could do a lot of interesting things with technology like that.

Bah... the technology is way too silly at times. But at least we didn't get on to the one where Welsey creates his own nanites or something...
