Dratheria has recently completed Top Secret construction the Death Star Mk. III a new more heavily armed Planetbuster with Dratherian Adaptive Shielding. One has already been completed while another is in the process of being constructed. These will be used primarily to take on enemy fleets with a secondary use for planetbusting.

A Death Star? At your age? You're too young. Get closer to mine and then go for it.

I already have multiple planetbusters as well as two systembusters. Also I have already demonstrated the use of my Planetbuster vessels plus this is primarily designed to fight fleet not destroy planets.

You shouldn't. The weapons are, to be honest, simply too powerful. It's like a nation of your age acquiring thousands of nukes. It's not easily accepted and is likely to get you IGNORED.

I Got The Tech From Coreworlds Ok

Then get Coreworlds to back it.

OOC: Oi.....

Look, if you want planet buster technology, wait until you can hold it. Look at Unified Sith. He has ONE and he is pretty much the dominant power in space on NS. Not only would the cost be ungodly, but the manpower required to run the thing would be too much for a relatively new nation to hold. When half your population is out in space running the OMG UBER DEATH RAY!!!1! the other half HAS to pick up the slack, and well, I'm sure I wouldn't be happy with running a simpl' lil' tabaccy farm while my buddie's out joy riding in a Death Star. Would you?

A Death Star is nothing compared to the Planet Killer of Chronosia; the Ecstacy of Slaanesh; an immense battleship; Grand Flagship of the Fleet; and personal Vessel of the Daemon Emperor of Chronosia; armed with the most powerful of Warp Cannons; it can strip the atmosphere and life off of a world; burning it till the core itself brings molten rock to the surface; and the ill fated orb detonates. Such is the power of Chaos.

Alright have you ever heard of nanotechnology and droids and self automated systems. We have self automated systems even now in the RL and did I say it was as big as the original Death Star.

I'm with DLE on this. Wait a few more months before you even think about developing the requisite technologies.

Pumping out Death Stars, Centerpoint Stations, and Time Ships at your age is a fast track to the ignore bin.

Alright pay attention to my RP thread dammit thats why Im stepping this up on tech most of it will be destroyed the Galaxy Gun, the Death Stars, most of the centerpoint stations (only one will survive. which will be used to stop the Akuma from exiting the system I got the Idea from The New Jedi Order Agents of Chaos II Jedi Eclipse), and many of the Sun Crushers alot of the military I have will be destroyed. Alright also the only ones I will probably consider continuing constructing is one Galaxy Gun and the Sun Crushers which will be rarley used. I have had planetbusters for some time and have demonstrated them multiple times like my Behemoth-class Dreadnought and Phoenix-class Dreadnought.

I honestly don't care.

The fact that you were doing up sun crushers and stuff long before this actually makes the situation kinda worse in my eyes. It should take you several RL months just to develop even one of those technologies. And I would guarantee that CW didn't up and GIVE you six uberkiller techs.

Speaking of which, I want a link to the thread where CW does that.

Alright listen to me for once dammit I got the tech for the Death Star from CW the other stuff was based off of tech I developed or obtained like the galaxy gun is a bigger version of BLACKGRUE's hyperspace artillery. And he sent me the tech of the Death Star through TG. I am a protectorate of BLACKGRUE.

Then get them to post on here and back your claims.

And protectorates are not always given technology.

Now, now dratheria, Godular made a good point and you cant simply dismiss it with a "listen to me dammit". Your outclassed here, give it up.

I supply BLACKGRUE with things from our mines and also tech for assimilation such as leech weapons. And give me a few minutes. I have to get a hold of them.

Is that it? He sent it to you in TGs?

Unless CW comes out and says explicitly that he sent your nation that information IN CHARACTER, I am going to assume he sent it to you for OOC reasons and is as such inapplicable.

You don't hurl planetcrusher technological specifications around all willy nilly, and I know CW wouldn't either. Just getting your hands on the technology in itself should require a lengthy RP with all sorts of diplomatic haggling and concessions, or RP threads detailing how long the development would take and how much it would take out of your country to build, And not just a series of "We have it now, so deal," posts.

With the development of all these superweapons, and all the construction of these superweapons, and with the amount of funding needed TO construct and develop them, you would have ruined yourself at least ten times over.

I have negotiated trades through IM and TG before Im sorry Im a little new to NS but people including veterans have told me its alright to trade through TG also I have had tech like this for some time and as I said before almost my entire miltary including these newly constructed things will be destroyed plus I have many allies that allow me to use their shipyards and help supply materials in exchange for tech. Alright and I also have construction nanites.

What your failing to see is that even though it will be destroyed; getting it would banckrupt you several times over...

But what Im saying is in exchange for tech and over many many many many years me and my allies constructed this stuff. It is man economies used on one a few endeavors.

Its OK to trade through TGs and IM stuff, but it is CRITICAL to have roleplays set up to back up your trade dealings. Doing things through TGs is more for the purpose of getting the other participant's okay to start up the actual RP thread in the forums. And you shouldn't go forward and assume that being an ally with someone means they will automatically give you access to their shipyards and construction facilities. That requires an RP in and of itself.

For instance, I have quite a few allies, but I wouldn't let them get anywhere near my industrial centers, and I expect the exact same from them. I also know there's no way in heck they'd let me build suncrushers in their facilities, and it would be baaaaaaaaaaaaaad to try.

And it is also critical that you roleplay the construction and development efforts of all these weapons for all to see. Doing so does wonders for the legitimacy of the project.

I had to defend myself against all comers just so I could build the first of a set of 30km Super Dreadnoughts. But in the end they conceded that I had the financial and industrial oomph to pull it off. Through alliances and resource acquisition contracts more than anything.

Hang on, how does a squadron of X-wings and a YT transport equal getting the tech for the Death Star?

Sheesh. I NEVER gave you the tech, specs or anything else relating to the Death Star (AND if you say you espionaged it out, I remind you that the specs are locked up tighter than the Imperial Palace on Coruscant and you require evidence of such an RP). And another thing, you could never have built all those superweapons without the proper research and development RPs that would take several RL months to do. Your claims are groundless to say the least.

Oh, and MSN is OOC, and thus does not pertain to IC.

((OOC: Dratheria, it's perfectly understandable to want everything right away, but you have to be perfectly understanding that you can't get everything that you want in the real world, and therefore you can't get everything that you want in NS.

I'd be a good thousand-times more justified than you if I was to say that I had some UBER-1337 PL4N3T KILLIN GUN, because I have created a tech tree and worked myself up it. But I don't create one.

Why, you ask?

Because I don't NEED it. I don't WANT to spend money on the materials to make a giant weapon of doom, I don't WANT to spend money on the materials to replace all the chunks taken out of it by space debris, and I certainly would never USE a giant planet-killing gun even if I had one. I'm future tech, yes, just as you are. Yet for some reason you, a nation smaller than mine with a lower population base and most likely less buildings developed in the short time you've had to exist, feel the need for a death star that could destroy an entire planet.

I won't even touch on how rediculous using a giant laser to destroy a planet is.))
