    Anarion:

    You're thinking about this in terms of a universe where relativity holds.

    Aotrs is not.

    Basically, he's attempting to have a railgun slug use the Picard Manoeuvrer.

    So, the FTL is in such a way that exceeds c, but doesn't mess with general relativity to the point of going back in time.

    Sure, it's not the hardest sci-fi ever, but dude.

    I would not raise an issue with this if he wasn't bringing it up in a rant about how things need to be able to actually affect the universe and can be properly interacted with using energy weapons. It kind of undercuts the position of "things must work this way!" when you admit to your own organization using a thing that doesn't work.

Also, you would need more than infinite energy to accelerate something to that speed, which is kind of tough, since it's actually a mathematical infinity and not just one of those local "almost infinity but not really" problems.

    I guess, in the interest of full analysis, that maybe the Aotrs weapons are actually altering the conditions of the universe such that the impact is an inevitability, which could, theoretically, lead to a result happening at a distance that would seem to exceed the lightspeed propagation of information.
    Eh, I dunno then. So maybe it doesn't. It's not like I've actually measured the observed whatever or anything, I was just extrapolating as an offhand point from what I do know (i.e. that Aotrs railguns fire at FTL speeds - using the same sort of technology used to create traditional same-dimension near-C and FTL transit (such as used by most standard starship engines, whose "maximum" speed is as much relativistic temporal restriction, rather than physical.) And thinking it worked, as Shadow of the Sun said, more like a Picard manouver, or seeing a lightning bolt before hearing thunder. It was a minor aside at best, and not important. At the end of the day, Aotrs Gate technology (which I do know all about) uses neither, and I'm a necromancer not an FTL technician.

    Best guess without doing a lot of pratting around (and now I come to think harder about it) I distantly recall something about the railguns imparting the same effect that the engines use, only without needing active temporal compensators (which, yes, are a standard component of all starship drives (even really low tech ones) - have to be, given even combat speeds that are signficant fractions of c, and no, I have no clue as to how they actually work, only that they eliminate the temporal distortions caused by near or FTL speeds). The effect is short-lived (not that it matters within the space of effective weapon range), I think, and unlike a starship drive, there's an inertial component (most starship drives are typically called "inertia-less", though that is not in fact correct, there is inertia, but just greatly dampened - and they also require continuous burn as opposed to bursts like typical bottom-space-tech inertial combustion engines).

    Effective weapon range, incidently, is a function of accuracy; past a million kilometers or so, the flight time become sufficient that evasive manouvers happen between firing and impact.

    Anyhoo, as I say, it's not important, so I'll drop the subject anyway.

    Both occurrences involve fanning the flames of existing affection, not the forging of new emotions. Thus, it is safe to say that her power is not to create love, but to help strengthen what's already there.

    I dunno, it seems to me that there's not a lot of difference between how FTL engines break physics and how FTL weapons break physics. And if you don't allow the former then a space fleet is of very limited utility. (Barring Gate and other teleportation, of course.)

    Also, Aotrs physics doesn't have to fit ours. It just has to be consistent in itself.

    I'm not saying anything is a perfect solution - as I would hope you've all gathered by now, I don't work in absolutes, but in modals - but it works most of the time on most things.
    Sure but lets say what your fighting is a viral sound virus/being. By the time you've precived it you're under attack. The blank slate method works by guesswork in that situation. The house is similar in that one day there is an extra door in your ship that just goes to the wrong place. You can't blank slate it because it appears inside your defenses.

    Natural Mental Influence is increasing your abilities, making yourself so sexy or so persuasive that people find it hard to disagree. Unnatural Mental Influence is decreasing or bypassing their defences-rather than just making yourself so hot they want you, you magically TELL them they want you until they agree.

    ooh, better metaphor.

    Natural mental influence is playing a video game, but using your magic powers to play it amazingly inhumanly well.
    Unnatural mental influence is hacking the game magically so you've already won.
    (I'm sure I could get the Kobayashi Meru in this explanation somewhere...)

    Natural is normal persuasion, magnified. Unnatural is just mind control.

    I see. And yours affects everyone around you correct? But they don't realize themselves are being amped up?



    Different topic!

    Changling abilities: What do you think they can do?

    I've seen everything from mind control to borg style assimilation. Some people put them at an insanely high power per changling.

    Personally I think they are powered by love, have basic unicorn telekinisis, perfect illusionary transformation into a target they've seen, flight, and the ability to create a goop-like rope. They are physically weaker then every pony, do not have a hive mind, heal slower then ponies, and have free will.

    It ain't efficient or ideal, mind you, but we're talking in terms of possible (on a practical, not theoretical, level), not optimal. (But starship weapons are in that sort of territory, where their baleful energies are throwing out stellar-scale attacks.)

    It helps if you think that real absolutes are actually vanishingly rare, and most absolutes are absolute relative to their context, not necessarily on a universe-magnitude scale. (I.e. a example: a weapon which has greater than the size of the board you play on may as well be infinite in context to the game - it may in reality only be a little bit more, or maybe three or four times more than the board, but as far as that wargame goes, the range is infinite.)

    There's still a little internal work to be done - which might take a day or two by the teams aboard to bring it to 100% combat status, and the transport - which is nothing to write home about, by the way - will follow join up with you later so you can keep it maintained and running without external help, but it's essentially ready as soon as you give us a location to deliver it to.

    • The daily quest " Royal Shocker" is unable to be done after the Royal Wedding server event is activated.
    • Philomena has been moved from the Throne Room to Celestia's Study, and does not spawn when Celestia is attacked. Her Revive Flare now also dazes and confuses all dragon-typed creatures in the area.

    How does the shipping aura work. Well, I'd assume it just lowers the inhibitions slightly, but it's a very weak effect. Honestly... people are affected more by being told 'I have a shipping aura' then actually being in the aura. I've considered just not bothering to make it before.

    What gives you any kind of right to save her? She has no relationship to you, likely doesn't much like you, and probably doesn't WANT you to save her.

    I can't even tell if you are being sarcastic or not. Anyways I'm sure you'll be fine. You don't need to get to the actual Bastion of Souls but one of the channels will do. Also send in a vacation package first.

    As I thought you missed what I'm talking about. I'm talking about situations where simply upping the energy does not matter or at least is not linear. While its generally not effortless when you focus instead of on power but upon concept you can achieve situations where the scale of the power becomes irrelevant. While some power (be it whatever form) is likely present/expended in the conceptual approach it is not something that has to line up with scale.

    A defense which say places one in an "unreachable utopia" that nothing else can enter, but which you can still send effects out to and be aware of your original reality. You are invincible because even an attack across multiple realities of infinite power can't enter your unreachable utopia thus can't reach you. But still having a relevant one-way connection to the original reality makes you also able to attack. Of course under ordinary logic this is monstrously horrendous to be in such an unreachable utopia, but that is of course why it is a miraculous phenomena since it is something that could not be achieved by "normal" means.

    That's fighting by concept not power and yes its absolutely cheating.

    The Lich said his railgun weapons fire slugs. Inert metal mass cannot move at FTL speeds since it would requiring that mass to have been given mathematically infinite energy among many other things. While various FTL methods have been conceptualized they broadly speaking all cheat this rule. You for example bend space-time to shorten your path or you can say go into another dimension with different spacial geometry and rules. Or perhaps you can even create an effect to change the value of c.

    However a slug by definition cannot carry any equipment to do that, so to do that one would actually need to not only have an FTL method but a way to project it along the intended course of the round. Which frankly is almost certainly an engineering waste of time. If it doesn't just break reality. And it would probably be easier to just fire an slower then light mass at a high percentage of lightspeed. Which would give you say an upper limit of between the Earth and the Moon as a range with only a fraction over a second or so of warning.

    Depending on the delta-v you can instantly generate and the g-forces your crew can handle this does make combat in space nominally "short-ranged" next to the scale. However nothing is to scale with space's size anyways, and its still an awfully long range.
