The clamps slowly broke off from the weapon relaeasing it with a small ammount of velocity, drifting in Real space the small crew of only 5 shivans began to power up the systems. The temporal cores were online and functioning normally. The primary ignition coils were in alignment and the subspace drives were ready to be used. The prototype powered up it's drives and entered a subspace corridor leading to earth.

Ten Hours later a subspace portal was forming 1km away from earths atmosphere out apeared the prototype. Within eight seconds the probe had opened fire tearing a 2km deep 5km wide hole from Washington D.C to the Antarctica. The probe made it it's business to go through all the major populated cities. fourty five seconds later the probes primary weapon overloaded causing it to self destruct spreading it's atmoic particles accross the sol system.

((I recommend, if you don't want to be ignored by the 100+ Earth future tech nations, that you choose a different location for this prototype... You must remember that not everyone is in the ESUS))

Not to mention the fact that a big part of my fleet is being mustered there so you would be in fore quite a shock.

OOC: I highly doubt that you could stop the prototype within 55 seconds. and that's all it took so come on just accept it.

[Such a weapon would completely destroy Earth and furthermore you gave absolutely no chance to destroy this thing. This, to be totally blunt, is a classic godmod and is going to get this event, if not you yourself, IGNORED.]

OOC:
My nation's terrestrial homeland is sitting under a planetary-grade umbrella shield, and orbital defences are always on warm standby under AI control. You couldn't tough Kanuckistan with that pea shooter and you'd've been under fire inside of 6 seconds.

Aside from this is the issue of ballance; this weapon is a totally unballancing godmod in it's capibilities. Makes for crappy RP, both in the 'I nuke j00' sense, and in the fact that you'd have devistated countless futuretech nations to the point of oblivion, and without atleast a decent RP to show for it, virtually no one is willing to take those kind of casualties. Hence, you'd be mass-ignored, and anyone trying to RP this sequence of events into their nation's continuum would be ignored along with you, cutting them off from RPing with any but a handfull of other nations.

Earth itself is effectivly invincible for this very reason; you'd have to arrange a massive RP with just about every future tech nation around to pull something like that off without being massivly ignored, because no one wants to be a hapless casualty in someone else's war.

This is what is currently happening with the ESUS. This was only done to begin construction on a larger version. I really dont care wether it was or was not accepted by those select few i just need it done so the rp with the ESUS can continue.

IGNORED.
DGNT forces are normally pretty paranoid, but in the recent Kyrr recursion there are around five hundred ships in Earth orbit, thats plus orbital and ground defences.
Watcher class ships would have detected this thing within a few seconds of its charging, and twenty ships would have sent lots of energy toward it.

IB, I suggest either editing or removing that post before you get ignored by everybody.

What? Why is fragging Earth necessary to start constructing a larger version? You should have tested it on someone's outpost or something, rather than claiming to have killed over 80% of the population of the most heavily deffended planet in the fricken universe.

On behalf of the peoples of earth, the SCC will be warring against the perpatrator of this act. No quarter will be given, due to their callous disrespect for life. However, surrender now, and we will spare your people.

Considering the fact that you never gave us a chance to defend ourselves against it, this is IGNORED.

If it took longer than 55 seconds to tare that giant hole, I'd consider it ok. However, you have made it way too fast, so it is ignored by Penguenia for the moment.

The EOL just prefers to launch its LGM-175A Armageddon ICBM with a 1 Giga-Ton warhead crafted with some fine alien technology found on a downed UFO. I tell you, RP in X-Files crap and you can do a whole lot.

technically, we could just detect the rift before the thing came in, determine it hostile at the beginning of its attack, and shoot it of the sky with a big ass railgun or two.

my Modern tech Assets IGNORES you Big-Time, but our Future Assets just deployed a fleet to attack you :o

note: unfortunatly, while we where on Terra, our 2 Underground citys and the Underground Fighter Launch Center near P'Yongyang where not damaged.

Another one joins the party to attack me. I am currently fighting against twenty nations so another small one wont hurt.

OOC:

Before you continue you should read this Thread:

http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15957&start=0


I am currently trying to set myself up slowly as a future tech race. I consider myself borderline. I have been posting my acomplishments for everything I have done over the past couple months so I can prove I possess what I say I possess.

Where did you post your research of this supposed prototype? Do you have any links that point to your R&D?

If you don't then the link I posted above definately needs to be read.

Until there is something more Role Playable, I will fire upon you with my IGNORE cannons.
