Tech info: the Probability field generator, is the first step in to a final frontier of technology, manipulating Probability mechanics to crate a strong unified filed capable of withstanding almost every thing, this field wont replace conventional shields due to its power drain, and its huge dedicated computer, the Probability field works buy manipulating Probability around the ship in to random patters extremely quickly thus able to refract enemy weapons fire buy at least 50%, the issues involving this is that shields cannot be up during its operation. and that if one pattern gose wrong the feild fails manipulating Probability mechanics like this has increased our defensive power by 300%..

Video log:
Dr Steven Jenkins, an old dark skinned man appeared his glasses gleaming in the laboratory light as models of ships and fields and power cores twinkle and change in the background. : god doesn’t play dice, but who says the universe doesn’t with the Probability field we Can manipulate the fundamental laws and math of the universe, this is a grate step, if god made us in his image, don’t you think he might have to Reiter soon? I have spent 25 years of my life on this work but I can’t feel I’ve unleashed a beast, in all our Arrogance this might be our down fall to nature…, at any rate while military baccarats start installing this on ships I must get ready to work on the next step a full Probability shield.

OOC: You are aware that there are already ships in star trek that have instant response time, mainly the promethous and SteamRunner if you by the books and tech manuels.

Plus, make it possible to read, Its kinda confusing. Why would the feild withstand anything short of a battleplate blast? As far as I can read, all your doing is increasing your ship response time during combat.

Thats just what I think, as I cant tell what it actually does, as I cant read it.

Because the Probability of the energy is analyzed like that *snaps fingers* and the field is matched to it, thus dissipating more than 50% of its energy. that and I just feel like messing with Probability

ooc: What the hell is a Dice game doing installing shields on on your ship?

OOC: so, RPing with TFu is now d20?

I CALL DM!

dice is a tool of Probability, thus we use it as a qoute

COuld someone explain to me what this thing is supposed to do? Kuz I cant read it.

...if your going to insult me get the hell out of my thread i don’t need your shit if your not going to say any thing useful dont say any thing, your just being an ass hole and i don’t appreciate that, add some thing constructive other than ohh I cant read it because of spelling...or grammar stop NIT picking! Please I don’t want to flame but your getting me pissed filling my thread with ooc nit picks

OOC:
I'm not nitpicking, Explain it to me.

If a weapon fires at the ship, what happens?

it depends, one of your weapons 45 -50 % of the energy and or power will just disappear in to another form

OOC" Where does that energy go? Remeber, it has to go somwhere.

I assume this is based on the improbability drive from hitch hikers guide to the galaxy? In which case, I applaud you, it's about time someone used Douglas Adams for FT technology, I tryed, noone participated. I can try to explain how the Adams one works. Actually I can't I don't remeber how it works, sorry.

A nice hot cup of tea...

OOC:

I'm still wondering what he is gonna do with all that energy. And how he can do that to ALL types of energy, Sure it will work fine on most weapons, but there are some that it wont work on.

And to clear it up, SW doesnt use lasers either, Turbo Lasers are not Lasers :)

You contridicted yourself on that last line... Turbolasers are just a more powerful version of a laser cannon.

OOC:
Umm, No, they're not lasers, at all, not even close.

In SW, Turbolasers, Lasers and Blasters are not actual lasers. The only aspect with actual lasers that they share is that they are both massless lightspeed weapons.

In SW SoD, yes TL's are upscaled laser canons.

"Ah, the new TFU ship has come in for refueling at the Resturant at the End of the Universe."

OOC: Innovative idea. Using Adams FT tech is something I've never seen done before.

In SW SoD, yes TL's are upscaled laser canons.

((Right, they function like lasers and are called lasers... maybe they are not completely lasers in the way that we see them in 2005, but he can't claim that they are not like lasers at all.))

The name "laser" is just a hold over. TL's ONLY similarity to actual lasers is the name and because they're massless the must travel at c like photons.

TL's aren't composed of photons and are thus 100% not like RL lasers.

Also keep in mind, that a RL laser wouldn't even be visible in space. And it would move at C. Turbolaser blots moves below C and they are visiable in space, plus they do a little bit of kentic damage.

They are not lasers, Deal with it. And if your refering to TNG, the only reason picard wasnt worried about the lasers, is because they were very primitive and useless. If they had been more powerful, he might have had a problem.

TFU ranting about probability stuff being wank & godmode and stuff (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9157807&postcount=4)

Care to explain the wee bit of hypocrisy in introducing it (Again) for yourself?´

And I can't wait for Xessmithia going with the SD.net 'Just the marker travels at < c, the damage- inflicting part goes at c!!!11' explanation based on SW's FX effect squad fucking up. In the minority of cases, with the majority still having damage occuring only after the < c bolt hits, but that's selective acceptance of canon for you, heh.

He seems to think he was 1st to use Coaxile Warp Drive, though many have deployed it long before him.

ANYWAY! BACK ON TOPIC!

If he can explain how this works, I dont see why he cant have it.

The principle is that as its drive reaches infinite improbability, the ship passes simultaneously through every point in the universe. It is then possible to decide at which point you actually want to be at when improbability levels decrease.

(from winkiipedia)
any way i channel the enrgy to those points in the univers and i can disspate 50% of it becuse thats all the feild can handel

any way i plan to implment the drive as well soon

The TL's travel at c is from the canon AOTC:ICS. The visible part is a the decay of the beam as photons. You don't have to like it but it's what they are according to SW canon.

--Gamma News Network: Breaking Report--

In an official press release from the Skeelzanian Government, the Imperial Scientific Society has laid clear its disdain of the Fedral technological "advance". Professor Udenberg was quoted as saying "the Fedral Union is populated with backwards people, who are easily amused by the simplist of toys. The Skeelzvolk have been employing Improbability Drives for centuries, and indeed still feature prominently in our gravity-generators and inertial dampners. Furthermore, we believe any tactical or strategic advantage the Fedrals glean from this 'new' technology will be negated by their overwhelming incompetence in battle." Other leading Skeelzanian scientists and researches expressed similar opinions.

OOC: And on an OOC note, I think the whole point of introducing Improbability Drives and Generators is to explain away those annoying properities of physics that make about 99% of FT impossible. I use mine to cancel out the inertial stress caused by on a 3km battleship turning while traveling at a large portion of c, so the thing doesn't snap in half. Similarly, I used to use them as FTL drives before I switched to Hyperspacial travel. Explaining how the devil an Improbability Drive works defeats the whole point, they're improbable!

response form the burro of technology:
For your knowledge banks, the united states is using inertia-less engines, and has been using them for years so accelerating and maneuvering at the .C mark isn’t a problem even for large capital ships, the united states also doubts you use this technology as a shield we do accept that you have used it as engines but we doubt you also channel weapons fire energy out in to the universe using this method.

OOC: Douglas Adams for FT. Heh, I considered doing it but it was just too difficult to try and find some explanations for how the damn things work.

Explaining how the devil an Improbability Drive works defeats the whole point, they're improbable!
I just scanned the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Apparently, an improbability drive lets you be everywhere in the universe at once with an improbability field. You switch on the field and then you're everywhere in the universe. Then to arrive at your actual destination the field weakens and goes down levels of improbability till it reaches "normality".

This is just an educated guess based on the small part about it in the book and it's probably wrong.
