[OOC: Ok, I'm looking into developing a multi-nation technology. Being that I'm a far future nation, this will benefit both of us, and most likely you more. However, I'm only taking one, and at the maximum two other nations to do the project with.

To apply, type your new tech in bold and then give a description on what it does, how it works, and what it would effect. Try to be creative...I don't want others to already have it/copy it straight out.

As some guidelines, I don't care how realistic/unrealistic it is, but I don't want doomsday weapons. Such things end up being ignored. I also don't want genocidal or mass-murdering weapons. Military (especially starship or body armor tech) is great, but it could be a civilian thing too. After a few ideas come in, I'll post some of mine. Be creative!]

Hey, SB, good to see you again. I'd be interested, but these ideas are kind of haphazard right now. I can get some better ones tomorrow.

1.) Turning a gas giant into a sun
2.) Inter-galactic travel
3.) Biotech or nanotech
4.) A neat idea I had called clinical immortality, I can type up more a bit later.

How's the feel on some of these?

Your welcome to look into any of our designs... we'd be willing to trade for most all of em.

Info on CC LiquidMetal^2 Armor [reference]

This is the armor used on all the Capsule Corporation Capital ships, and a close similarity of the armor on the Mecha and starfighters.

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/ccarmor.gif

LiquidMetal^2 is an advancment of the 20th Century's "LiquidMetal," made the same way, but with stronger, Triton-mined alloys.

Usually, the armor is pretty much as diagramed in the picture above, using the outer hull to take light projectile fire, with the elasticity and strength of the LiquidMetal^2 able to bounce small arms and bullets etc. off the hull. To absorb high-velocity/high-mass projectiles, the LiquidMetal^2 can give way into the steel supports below it, into the next layer of armor, absorbinbg a good deal of the shock before it can hit the main titanium hull.

It's a simple design, but we find it to be effective.

I'll try to respond to everyone as well.

Val-

1) cool...if you get some more info...I'd be interested in it.
2) My FTL is subspace-fold tech...meaning I can pretty much go anywhere in seconds...
3) Have it...although not that advanced. I should clairify. I have the capabilities and the knowledge...but robotics are generally outlawed on my world....except for specific examples.
4) You'd have to expand on it. A corporation of mine developed a way to make someone immorta to a point (they can't die by natural means), but they're generally evil and involved in a huge civil war.

Capsul, I don't want to trade tech with someone, I want who ever wins this thing (meaning I chose their tech) to co-develop whatever tech they entered with me. In exchange, they would also get trading rights with my nation and also perhaps a tech exchange.

I need to build a wormhole or stargate or hypergate or something capable of crossing 45,000 light years in hours, if not minutes/seconds.

That's my current tech problem

OOC:

I could explain, in detail, how one can create a Electron Laser, but its quite full of info and all, so I will not. I'll let raysia have the fun, lol.

Interesting...and I hope you succeed in your venture...however my people don't have that problem.

As previously mentioned, my FTL method is SubSpace-Fold Tech. To explain it, you'd have to think of two points on a piece of paper, connected by a line. In fact, you could actually draw two points on a piece of printer paper or whatever and connect them with a line for the sake of the demonstration. Now, if point A is the orgin, and point B is the destination, the quickest path between them is a straigh line, correct? Wrong...space is not two-dimensional. Take the piece of paper in your hand and fold it (hense the name) until the two dots touch. This is how my FTL works. The only thing that limits our distance is the massive energy required.

OOC:

Fine, you asked for it.

I say it this way, the components you need are:

One Electro-Magentic Field Generator
One Electron Laser
Four pieces of Circular Optical Glass, think Magnifing Glass
Two Moderator Sources
One Fine Crystal

Now, you figure it out, lol.

J/k, still want me to go on?

An electron laser almost seems like it would be going backwards in tech level for me. This has to be mutually beneficial.

Hmmm.......well, I can Hypothesize on how to generate a Deadly Ionic Beam, or Hypothesize on how to use Photons for either a Laser Weapon, Beam Cannon, or many other aspects, Hypothesize on a Neutron Cannon, Hypothesize on, well, just give me something!??!!

Nope...that's your job...that's what this competition is about.

Now please people...I've yet to have one real application. Lets go! :P

SB: FYI, I would have had THAT kind of space fold, but it seemed too godmoddy. So I set up a limit. Bigger distance = More Power needed.

If I were to make one big space fold, it would use up so much power, that the drive itself would have the gravitational pull of a planet or 2...

The only thing that limits our distance is the massive energy required.

You guys need to start reading better... :roll:

Now...stop getting off topic and post applications.

Microwave Cannon is the last thing I got, other than that, sorry......hope to have future Allied Relations with ya, Steel Butterfly. Not now, I suppose. :)

Would you do it with a modern tech nation?(if you're far future)
I had an idea once for some kind of
OmniFuel- basically it works in any engine very well

I have an idea for a biological that I have discussed with another player. I will ask, and if he agrees, and you have no objections, I will post my idea.
(Note: this is a different idea than what I TGed you about.)

Dai - A biological....what?

Quonza - You'd have to be a lot more specific...

Sorry Steel. I will let you know as soon as I hear back from ANA (the other player involved).

bump...I want applications!

No problems here, Im more than happy to get involved Daistallia

Thanks ANA.
I don't know if this will meet your criterion for applications, but...

Octopus sapiens - an uplift project

I propose to "uplift" O. vulgaris (the common octopus) into a sapient free species to be named O. sapiens. ANA should be involved due to his experience in uplifiting species.
The only real stricture I will place on this project is that the resultant O. sapiens must not be considered the property of any nation involved. The application payoff will be in basic reasearch. A better understanding of genetics in general. Of particular interset will be the prolongation of life (O. vulgaris has a very short natural life span, which should be extended for this projects success). Of additional interest should be various bio-technologies, including chamelon like adaptation, an a better understanding of neuro-science "distributed" intelligence (onee possibility in O. vulgaris is that it's CNS is actually not central, but distributed throught the body), neuro-toxins, and more.

I hope you will consider this project.

Thank you.

very...interesting... :shock:

Anyhow...I have one official application now...

OOC:

I've alot of things on the drawingboard I could 'develop', but it's a question of IC usefulness, ballance, and national security.

I've recently come up with a new armour that, although weaker than common NES or SAPL varriants(other material technologies of my own personal design), would be cheaper and still quite rugged; I can see a few applications for my nation apart from commercial, tho Uniphase Armouries Interversal(tm), Kanuckistan's premier military contractor for over four centuries, would be more likly to participate in a joint research project than any aspect of the government.

Basicly, the armour is a stable superheavy element, which is crystalised to form an extreamly rugged, extreamly open lattice, resulting in a net mass density little more than that of, possibly, aluminim. This is then infused(remember the open crystal lattice) with a superconducting aerogel(rather than ceramic; keeps the weight down) with rather extream thermal tollerances, to quickly diffuse energy from weapons fire, and caped with a layer of ceramic superconductor to prevent gradual bleed off of the aerogel.

The end result is a light, extreamly strong armour with absurd resistances to most energy weapons, and that is inherently impervious to emp weapons and related phenominon(tho all your milspec stuff should already be nigh-immune to this stuff anyway).
