Wasn't talking about taking them apart and then putting them back together, I meant more along the lines of stripping them of absolutely every resource feasible, and all the resources of the system while you're at it, and turning those resources into ships; Afterward finding new planets. I already s...

When it's a matter of annihilation, you take the planets apart and find new ones when it's safe. Regardless, apparently there're in setting reasons why they can't, a weird kind of schizo-tech I'd assume, since writers can't guess at what science and technology would actually be capable of at any fut...

My original question included "while on a war footing" Zinegata. If they aren't at war then there wouldn't be a need for the, admittedly, extreme measures, and for the issue of the nids and orcs, well, that was addressed pretty effectively by the end of page two. So if they aren't at war w...

Resupply of antimatter. Ship stores last for five years, seven when using the onboard antimatter generator, but making antimatter is comically energy inefficient. The federation uses antimatter anyway because it has an extremely high energy density, so that their ships tankage ratio is orders of ma...

I apologize if this has been addressed, but I'd really rather not wade through all 12 pages of this. What's to stop the federation from becoming a federation of habitation ships instead of a federation of planets whilst they are on a war footing and becoming 100% untouchable by everything in the 40k...

No idea for sure, but perhaps human like mobility would allow a pilot, probably wired into the thing while in use, to move more naturally, efficiently, and skillfully than an otherwise more practical armored vehicle. I doubt it could ever make sense as a normal weapon of war, but for less frontlines...

I think second guessing the backwardness of society in regards to accepting these world changing technologies is a bit pointless. If people have this kind of power and they haven't socially evolved to the point where they can be trusted with it, then we're all dead and civilization is over.

You're actually calling it Heartbreaker? That's hilarious. And yeah, I meant After Sundown.

I'll see what I can do over the next few days. I...

Trust(1990) is a damn good movie on Netflix. The last few episodes of One Piece on Hulu, the ones detailing the history of Monteblanc Noland and Kolgara, are ridiculously amazing.

Yeah, I know, but I only ended up with a single fortune teller with death, and I didn't focus on enchantment enough to pick up a mound king. So no undead leadership, otherwise I would made them my go-to choice for infantry. If I had gotten my national hero, the vampire, or a few more fortune tellers...
