"...We do not mean that you cannot arm your starskiffs for defensive purposes, but their intended use is to engender trade and exploration. There are few enough threats in the void that heavy weaponization is simply unnecessary. So long as your Starskiffs remain primarily trade vessels, that is they always carry trade goods or crews returning from trade equalling 51% or more of their cargo hold, then they are not considered military vessels. In addition, once the Schola Arcana is established on Sol Lumaria, you'll find that you really have no need of weapons. Aether provides far more power, and far more use, than a sword or spear."
For emphasis:

I'm guessing that they say this because no one other than Xia and Alynaia really knows yet the full extent of Halcyon's weaponry?
Not that it will likely ever be turned against humanity, I'm just...amused but the whole thing. Also, rollover, precious?

Well as far as threats in the void go, there's ONE military style vessel, a few void born... and eventually there might be space pirates. In an arbitrarily vast environment where you can fly at interplanetary speeds (a starskiff journey from Geodesia to Sol Lumaria takes a couple weeks usually). Still an accurate statement whether the Quartzians have encountered Haclyon or not.

Well, there's one now.

@Elric. Well, I was wanting to test out the Starlances at some point
@L_A, I'm going to put something up on the part of Elis and Xia, but I think we should wait for C'nor to respond before taking this any further.
And I guess I'm going to need to push forward the [CLASSIFIED] monument plan then... Oh well

@ Your Modships: Do we get a discount on mortal levels if they have a lower level? For example, 2 for Hero + 2 for Legend + 1 for Demigod = 5 which is the same as making a demigod. If not, I'll just jump ahead to demigod even though it doesn't work in the story.

What would you do if I laid down a curse that made Arlom's streets stop shifting?
Fluffed as Vylcent pretty much explodes the Asylum so bad that Arlom has to stop shifting in order to repair the damage from the chunks of building flying every which way.
In any case, I'm typing that up right now

Why do you dislike Arlom so much? From your communication with .... Ing'dras, was it you? YOu learned he wasn't stealing people - and then he even built you a city.... . Hopefully his brothers help ..

Umm... it's just a phase Vylcent's going through? He tried wrecking the asylum before, but it fixed itself.
So he nuked it.

I have been dying to make that joke for awhile now.
Edit: Also, Darklord. I would rather you didn't do that. We kinda already have spooky aliens getting ready to invade the core of the galaxy (the Halcyon) and appearance-wise they step on the toes of the Ing (yes, that is their overal body shape).
In the consumption scenario, tyranids step on the toes of the Hunger, made by our hungry hungry hippogod with the long name.
I suppose I'll stick to the Tyranid "Shadow in the Warp" stuff then... beings who's very presence silences all forms of non-physical communication and induces fear...
EDIT: Or, just aliens who's whole shtick is to evolve and win... I like that...
GAH, why do all the good alien bits have to be taken...

Why not... just make the old ones.... The old ones? And if there is fifteen of them, we should be introduced to some of them.
Anyway Arlom's brothers and son, as well as his tenants (ensirex and nous) should know that the green sun blew him up... (which should have taken a roll since it's an attack on a god, but whatever lets just go with it). there should be some reactions to that...
Don't know how arlom is going to react yet actually
Also Draken: I led 002 to the currently ruling ing.
Also Hank: I led trysten to ensirex's beasts.

Evolve is technically also taken by the Ing to a very limited extent (well, technically it is just age plurimorphism). They grow larger as they 'age' but also change their body appearances somewhat.
I am just too vague to get some word going on the mutations possessed by the Ing I have named thus far. Qu'Mos has wings and a tail, for instance.
----
Edit: Going to adress those points in a bit, mystic!

And just for the record Ing'dras' "curse" is too widespread to be entirely negative for everyone (you know, pepper in another's eyes). It is quite simply a cosmic case of "__it hits the fan".
It is also a very specific occurrence, not an ongoing event, so I would prefer if its completely up to individual consideration effects were dealt with post-fact instead of prevented.

Um, the Steelthorns aren't intending on invading. In truth, Halcyon (no 'the', gosh darnit!) will probably be staying out on the edge of the void until later on in the game. Steelthorn interactions will likely be taking place in a...different manner.

I get that, my plan was just, to use the Old Ones as the progenitors of enormous swarms of sanity-devouring nightmare creatures with which to devour the cosmos... I should mention that one of Gjol's goals is to implode the Green sun into a Black Hole. Which he'll then use to swallow the rest of the universe.
I'm just looking for other areas to expand into >.>

Beasts!? Why I never
and yeah, evolving, consuming, bug people is ALSO sort of taken by the Phasamix, being as they are arthropodian in nature (not necessarily a Tyranid Warrior/Hive Tyrant body plan as I imagine the Ing are) they, like Ensirex, are beings of consumption (though not necessarily in the purely physical manner, but that isn't ruled out either) and change (they, like Ensirex, seek a higher form of being, and seek to evolve into new greater forms)
I hope this doesn't clash too much with the Ing.

You could do singular massive horrors stretching their limbs into the known lands across dimentional portals.
People are not fighting the horrors or things made by the horrors, they are fighting body parts of the horrors!

Edit: Asmo, that clashes with the Ing like Gnomes clash with halflings. They are both small and silly, but that is where the similarities end.*
*Also, Ing are, like I keep repeating, more reptilian than insectile**. I demand that description box changed at once.
**For that matter, most of the scary bug aliens in nowadays science fiction are more reptilian than insectile.

The Fifteen Old Ones will reveal themselves in time. One by one by one...
At the moment, they're all hiding and learning about their new homes.

Hey Darklord Xia and Acantheis cured the refugees of their Arlom sickness. So there shouldn't be any reason for the Vanhatai to want to return to Arlom.

Except that the Vahnatai revere all three of the Aberrant Siblings almost equally and view Vylcent and Acantheis's intervention as blasphemy. If they're taken to Arlom, they view it as a gift, and live their lives in Arlom until they die. They never willingly leave, even if Arlom didn't trap them...

Well, you know, Xia did ask them what they wanted. And I never got a reply. More to the point, how exactly are they breaking a creation of a divine? Because...I don't think they can do that.

Wasn't aware of that at all. You know, they could have just asked nicely and explained their unique situation.
Acantheis may be right, the gods of madness and their creations are really just spoiled children

They didn't hear, being trapped in their own little bubble and all.
EDIT: And as for breaking the creation of a divine. Acantheis didn't spend any AP on it, and Psionics as a concept were just created, so I fluffed it up as a surge of psionic energy that shattered the bubble... they didn't exactly direct the energy, they were just a "speaker" for the feedback...

Vahnatai don't speak, nor ask, they commune. When faced with something they cannot commune with, they do as they wish, and treat it as an external threat.
And Madness really doesn't mean much to you, does it? Gjol Maduur is the defiler of all patterns and logic...
