00:40.01 | DrodoEmpire | So I caved and bought ARK |
00:47.39 | Monet | Do you think your computer can handle it? |
00:48.14 | DrodoEmpire | Well, it can run Shogun 2 *really* well, if that means anything |
00:48.36 | DrodoEmpire | It can run CoH2 well as well on lower settings (I didn't test higher ones) |
00:48.47 | Monet | Then you might manage ARK |
00:48.58 | DrodoEmpire | My prediction is that if I keep the settings low then I'll be fine |

11:31.38 | ImpyDroid | Charles_Murray: Alexandre the Hipster |
11:31.50 | ImpyDroid | Vintage bombers are SOOOO 2812 |
11:31.50 | Charles_Murray | How so? |
11:32.24 | ImpyDroid | I remember you rationalising that but that plane looks a bit too... non-futuristic or something |
11:32.36 | ImpyDroid | Hence "vintage bomber" |
11:32.42 | Charles_Murray | The BS-100 has been in service since 2779, it's time to get a new one xD |
11:32.55 | ImpyDroid | Actually how about you actually call it "Vintage" |
11:33.35 | ImpyDroid | Well the older bombers did not look particularily futuristic either |
11:33.43 | ImpyDroid | Actually |
11:33.46 | Hachiman | Is that for spatial or atmospheric combat? |
11:33.58 | Charles_Murray | Both |

11:34.28 | *** mode/#sporewiki [+o Technobliterator] by ChanServ |
11:34.29 | Charles_Murray | Yes... It's a strat bomber. It looks like a strat bomber. |
11:34.56 | ImpyDroid | Yeah but I think it needs a little something to make it look fancier or something |
11:34.58 | Charles_Murray | Hachiman : It it meant to be able to operate in space and in an atmosphere, hence the wings |
11:35.03 | Hachiman | Ah, right |
11:35.08 | Monet | To be fair, the general look of military jet aircraft hasn't changed much in 40 years. |
11:35.08 | Charles_Murray | Like the fancy space engines in the back? |
11:35.08 | Hachiman | Of course |
11:35.39 | ImpyDroid | 40k Guard actually does that well, its vehicles are very old-fashioned but there are certain elements that make them fit in the world of the future |
11:36.25 | Hachiman | I do not think we should really be complaining considering the DCP utilised the design of a human bomber or carrier or something at some point |
11:36.37 | Hachiman | Like, a WW2-style vehicle |
11:36.49 | Hachiman | I cannot remember what it was, but it was a big fuck-off plane for sure |
11:36.56 | Charles_Murray | B-17 |
11:37.06 | Hachiman | That was it |
11:37.09 | ImpyDroid | But that was Wormy being sentimental |
11:37.22 | Monet | The Harrier Jump Jet hasn't changed much externally since it's first flight in 1967. |
11:37.33 | Treebeard | Perhaps it would appear more futuristic if the wings could fold inwards to make it a smaller target in space. |
11:38.06 | Treebeard | bbl |
11:38.15 | ImpyDroid | http://www.fightingtigersofveda.com/newigcodexruss.jpg Here is what I am talking about |
11:38.32 | ImpyDroid | Very old fashioned shape but also more futuristic weaponry and painting |
11:38.42 | Hachiman | This all reminds me of one episode of Doctor Who where a bunch of WW2-era Britons use Spitfires to fight a small Dalek fleet |
11:39.03 | Hachiman | Augmented Spitfires, granted, in that they could breach Earth's atmosphere to fight in space |
11:39.17 | ImpyDroid | http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101101065235/warhammer40k/images/d/dc/Imperial_Navy_Lightning.jpg Or look at their planes |
11:39.52 | Monet | Maybe France's jets use a French refinement of the SABRE SSTO engine? |

11:45.09 | Monet | I myself was thinking of taking the French approach to starfighter designs for the NBC |
11:45.34 | ImpyDroid | What is that with everyone and their mother making dragons in Spore |
11:45.54 | Hachiman | Yeah, dragons in Spore is such an outdated and stale premise |
11:46.22 | ImpyDroid | I mean |
11:46.25 | Monet | I'm more influenced though by the Lockheed Martin F-35 though https://theaviationist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/RNoAF-F-35-maneuvering.jpg |
11:46.33 | ImpyDroid | Almost everyone here has some sort of dragons as one of their main fiction |
11:47.16 | Monet | Even if the F-35 is very overdesigned and unreliable at the moment |
11:51.06 | Monet | I'm still slightly surprised I managed to claim the species name "Draconis" here even tohugh SPore had been out for three years. |
12:01.23 | Monet | <PROTECTED> |
12:02.03 | Hachiman | To be fair, dragons do not do themselves any justice |
12:02.07 | Hachiman | European dragons, that is |
12:02.54 | Monet | How do we know that jsut isn't propaganda? |
12:04.34 | Monet | But I guess the aggression is understandable when they have countless do-gooder knights waltzing into their homes to try and chop their heads off and steal their money. |
12:04.56 | Hachiman | Yes, money they stole or forced from others |
12:06.24 | Monet | Likely treasure local barons stole either form each other or local peasants. |
12:07.08 | Hachiman | I do not see dragons considering the idea of returning that treasure hur |
12:08.18 | Monet | If they did it might cause hyper-inflation. |
12:11.16 | Monet | Also ever thought that stolen money might be retribution? |
12:11.55 | Monet | "you send knights into my home ot kill me and steal my stuff? Let's see how you like it" |

13:08.32 | Charles_Murray | VTOL capability isn't very important, it can just use a runway |

13:10.19 | DrodoEmpire | Hi |
13:10.24 | Treebeard | Hello |
13:10.39 | DrodoEmpire | http://imgur.com/gallery/3Ha8ugY |
13:10.40 | Hachiman | But runways are also inefficient and not always readily-available |
13:11.48 | DrodoEmpire | Well, I mean, French carriers *are* several kilometres long on average and there's bound to be a runway within 20 000 light years <.< |
13:12.34 | Charles_Murray | Well, if they're landing on a carrier in space, they can pull off a VTOL given that there's no gravity or air under the wings |
13:12.54 | ImpyDroid | Charles_Murray: Rite, small thrusters |
13:13.35 | Charles_Murray | But in an atmosphere, they're going to need a runway. And those are pretty easy to create, just have an engineer or logistics team take a bulldozer and clear one out |
13:13.56 | ImpyDroid | Actually wait, wouldn't thrusters inside of wings be not really that heavy |
13:14.12 | Charles_Murray | The wings carry fuel |
13:15.01 | Charles_Murray | Though that's not a bad idea at all |
13:16.47 | Treebeard | Hello |
13:17.05 | Charles_Murray | In this case I imagine the French went for no thrusters in the wings to (1) reduce the complexity of the craft (more movable parts = more likely something breaks), (2) increase the space for fuel, and in this craft fuel time is an absolute necessity to increase range, and (3) bring down the cost of the aircraft |
13:17.07 | Treebeard | Oops, that was an accident |
13:17.12 | Charles_Murray | Hey ^.^ |
13:18.11 | Charles_Murray | I hope that makes sense? |
13:18.42 | Treebeard | Yes |
13:21.54 | ImpyDroid | Yesh |
13:21.57 | ImpyDroid | *Yeah |
13:22.04 | ImpyDroid | So more simplistic |
13:22.23 | ImpyDroid | Right if you go in that direction you could perhaps go for simpler colouration |
13:22.46 | ImpyDroid | I find the simple "shiny" texture for vehicles very striking personally |
13:23.08 | ImpyDroid | The second texture in the first row that comes after the "no texture" one |
13:23.16 | ImpyDroid | The shiny lack of texture |
13:23.27 | Charles_Murray | I like that one too, I think I used it in the cockpit ;) |
13:23.31 | Charles_Murray | Or is it the one next to it? |
13:24.23 | ImpyDroid | Nah, that is the metal one |
13:24.31 | Charles_Murray | Ahhh |
13:24.45 | ImpyDroid | I am talking about the two default blue textures at the very top left corner of the first page |
13:24.55 | Charles_Murray | Oh, I see |
13:25.05 | ImpyDroid | "Matte no texture" and "shiny no texture" |
13:25.28 | Charles_Murray | It's a very sophisticated piece of equipment, don't get me wrong. It has shielding, navigation, the latest French hyperdrive technology can offer, etc, but it won't add unnecessary complexity or cost to the craft. VTOL isn't very useful when you can just draw a straight dirt line somewhere |

15:16.19 | Monet | I know the 80s were called the "me" generation, but really youth culture most likely started way back in the 50s. |
15:18.30 | Monet | Two couplets from Grease that always surprised me |
15:19.17 | Monet | "Tell me more, Tell me more | Did you get very far?" and "Tell me more, Tell me more | did she put up a fight?" |
15:23.11 | Monet | Which explains a lot why Elvis, back in the day, was seen to be as controversial by older generations as someone like Lady GaGa is today. |
15:32.19 | Monet | I guess that's the thing to reflect on. |
15:33.35 | Monet | Every generation the younger members will go mad over the latest trends while the older generations wil lsay everything's gone down the toilet. |

17:30.45 | DrodoEmpire_ | Oh cool |
17:31.15 | Charles_Mac | niiice |
17:31.16 | Charles_Mac | lol |
17:35.42 | Tek0516 | i can't tell what this last one on it is though https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/hw1hueqm/20160703_133220.jpg |
17:36.54 | Charles_Mac | That looks like Arabic to me |
17:37.34 | DrodoEmpire_ | Yeah, that's my best guess |
17:38.12 | AdmiralPanda | given that it's just writing with no images, Arabic is a good bet |
17:39.00 | Hachiman | inb4 it's ISIS |
17:39.17 | Tek0516 | There's a line with marks below it but I'm not sure how clear they are at that zoom |
17:45.43 | ImpyDroid | Tek0516: *Could* be Aramaic but probably just weird Arabic |
17:48.13 | Tek0516 | All I know is it's presumably supposed to be a historical flag from Spain, from sometime when Spain used galleons. |
17:50.01 | DrodoEmpire_ | I sorta want to get in to the whole CS:GO skins thing, but at the same time I don't want to blow 300$ on a virtual knife, no matter how kickass it looks |
17:50.30 | Hachiman | Perhaps you should start up a YouTube channel to fund it |
17:50.37 | Hachiman | A channel where you talk about drama and cringe |
17:50.43 | DrodoEmpire_ | hur |
17:50.45 | Hachiman | And say how much you want to die and kill yourself |
17:51.09 | DrodoEmpire_ | Yeah, both commentaries *and* CS:GO traders are really crowded categories currently >.< |
17:51.51 | DrodoEmpire_ | That being said being a youtuber would basically mean free skins :p |
17:51.56 | DrodoEmpire_ | Especially if one's big enough |
17:52.20 | Hachiman | brb |
17:57.09 | DrodoEmpire_ | http://i.imgur.com/77yG7hr.jpg Let's be honest though, some of these skins *are* pretty cool |
17:57.41 | DrodoEmpire_ | (This skin, depending on the actual case-hardened pattern which is randomized, can go for 20-60$) |
18:26.54 | Tek0516 | Gah. I've checked practically every part of the Spainish Empire and I still can't find the flag. :/ Guess I lack enough historical flag data. To CK2. :P |

18:59.45 | drom | Wormy_: I've grown some disbelief on ships that are not bulky |
19:00.36 | Wormy_ | How come? |
19:01.13 | drom | If you have your ships thin as pizza slices (glares at Star Wars destroyers), they are more likely to break apart |
19:01.37 | DrodoEmpire_ | The ISD isn't thin by any means |
19:01.38 | DrodoEmpire_ | :p |
19:01.48 | drom | Certainly |
19:02.00 | DrodoEmpire_ | Have you *seen* a profile shot of it? |
19:02.05 | drom | There are some renderations of these however, and they look like thin pizza slices |
19:02.12 | DrodoEmpire_ | But they aren't |
19:02.16 | drom | True |
19:02.20 | Wormy_ | SW ships can be big, but I get what you mean, thin top and bottom as opposed to huge hulks |
19:02.24 | DrodoEmpire_ | So what the hell is your point? |
19:02.25 | DrodoEmpire_ | :p |
19:02.54 | DrodoEmpire_ | Again, looking at a profile shot, they aren't even that thin in proportion- they get progressively thicker near the centre |
19:02.58 | drom | DrodoEmpire_: Don't make ships that are slim or thin, if you consider structural intergrity. |
19:03.17 | DrodoEmpire_ | Right, fair enough- but the ISD's a pretty bad example of that |
19:03.24 | Wormy_ | However, I think it depends on the type of ship. Actually a very thin and long cross-section is best for starships for another reason: penetrating the interstellar medium |
19:03.56 | Wormy_ | One could imagine AI probes in the future being like long poles structurally |
19:04.54 | drom | DrodoEmpire_: Imagine these, but smaller http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/homeworld/images/4/4f/Crew_transport_on_surface.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20071211185058 |
19:05.45 | drom | Few shots on the top mid section is enough to re-enact the Titanic in space. |
19:06.56 | Wormy_ | Tbh though, I don't care how big ships are - a kinetic impactor or two could be one shot kills |
19:07.45 | Wormy_ | Of course it depends on whether the ship can detect or evade such weapons |
19:07.59 | drom | Getting hit always means the affected ship is doomed |
19:08.12 | Wormy_ | Or whether the physics of that universe admits to things like shields or hyperspace |
19:10.59 | Wormy_ | drom: You might like IoM warships |
19:11.18 | drom | Oh? |
19:12.10 | Wormy_ | Still thinner laterally, but a lot closer to being more box-like https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/fd/3e/2f/fd3e2f1a902e2b09ed6aa5b2594fd634.jpg |
19:12.50 | drom | I am looking at this as well |
19:12.50 | drom | https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/cc/b3/b2/ccb3b287cecc28d8864b1c55bdefd941.jpg |
19:13.34 | Wormy_ | and pretty badarse http://s16.photobucket.com/user/neokensei/media/BFG.jpg.html |
19:15.11 | drom | Again it depends on the imperial thickness and the power of weapon you are facing |
19:15.52 | Wormy_ | Which could also reflect the distance of the space battle |
19:17.17 | Wormy_ | If it involves a battle with high (even relativistic) velocities and distances, really your means of survival is based on speed, detection, ability to turn, and ability to launch counter-weapons. And iit would probably involve kinetic weaponry |

19:18.05 | drom | Wormg_: Don't forget how aligned and angled both the vectors are |
19:18.07 | Wormy_ | However, most universes ignore this stuff and go for WWII-esque naval warfare, but with magical technologies |
19:18.08 | Groxkiller98 | Hey. |
19:18.27 | drom | The lower entry point, the more likely it will be deflected |
19:19.07 | Wormy_ | Well you'd be dealing with a six dimensional coordinates of position and velocity, and possibly time dilation factored in too |
19:19.08 | drom | The lower angle of the entry point* (speaking of relative to the surface and 90 degrees mark) |
19:19.46 | drom | I see |
19:20.17 | Wormy_ | My brain aches at the thought of a battlefield taking place with this many vectors |
19:20.41 | Groxkiller98 | We talking about space warfare? |
19:20.44 | drom | Wormy_: Kinetic involves mostly throwing things into space, and hope it hits the target, not ruining someone else's day 10,000 year later. |
19:20.45 | Wormy_ | SporeWikiverse would have even more degrees of freedom: hyperspace |
19:20.53 | Wormy_ | yeah |
19:21.17 | Wormy_ | Your target's only hope is to able to detect it in time and move off target |
19:21.18 | Groxkiller98 | Just use Exterminatus. :3 Throw a planet into |
19:21.26 | Groxkiller98 | it! |
19:21.40 | drom | Wormy_: Depends on the speed, the only thing it cannot escape is light-based ones |
19:21.44 | drom | That said, lasers. |
19:22.27 | Wormy_ | Yeah you won't be able to escape those with any foreewarning, though fortunately the power of a laser diminishes with distance |
19:22.28 | Groxkiller98 | Throw a planet at your enemies. Problem solved. |
19:22.41 | Wormy_ | You have more chance against missiles or rocks being flung at you |
19:22.56 | Groxkiller98 | Not when they're planet sized! |
19:22.58 | drom | The advantage of it is you can shoot at something farther away, but you'd need to take account to the gravitional pull and distance, including the spread of the focused light beam. |
19:23.48 | drom | black holes serves as a natural barrier, if not risky enough |
19:23.53 | Groxkiller98 | A planet buster always works, no? |
19:24.06 | Wormy_ | That, and gravitational effects can even bend the laser, though its probably insignigant for everything in the solar system except close to a star, and even then those effects could have been factored in by the targetter |
19:24.34 | drom | Wormy_: "Slingshot" stars. |
19:24.42 | Wormy_ | heh |
19:24.47 | drom | Gotta love StarTrekkian physics |
19:25.01 | drom | Served best as cold and liquid |
19:25.02 | Wormy_ | This is real physics |
19:25.25 | Wormy_ | Now science fiction technologies may well make naval-style warfare possible, I dunno |
19:25.30 | Wormy_ | Ir it make it worse |
19:25.37 | drom | I know Wormy_, I meant about there are various alienations of real physics. That aren't possible according to our book of physical theorems |
19:25.46 | Groxkiller98 | I'm always going to work with Warhammer 40K tactics. |
19:25.57 | Wormy_ | Oh like Star Trek's slingshot effect back in time? |
19:26.03 | drom | Yeah |
19:26.06 | Wormy_ | right |

19:28.38 | drom | Wormy_: Besides, if you exclude the spread of the focused beam, you could use sources of gravity as mirrors |
19:28.54 | drom | They'll never know what hit them |
19:29.15 | Wormy_ | I suppose you could, yeah |
19:30.40 | drom | What would stop you, however. Is the ludicrous time it takes for the beam to hit anything |
19:31.00 | Wormy_ | I'll elaborate on why I think sci-fi tech makes it worse: FTL and hyperspatial phyisics. Now that completely changes not only how distance would work in a battlefield, but also temporally, one could have FTL forewarning for example |
19:31.06 | drom | An innocent farm gets his farm destroyed by a world-ending beam several billions years later |
19:31.13 | drom | farmer, even |
19:31.52 | Wormy_ | Billions would be a bit too extreme |
19:32.35 | Wormy_ | That means billions of years for the beam to lose its focus and be no more than a gamma ray burst faintly detected by satellites orbiting Earth |
19:32.39 | Wormy_ | But I get the gist |
19:32.56 | drom | *thumbsup* |
19:33.54 | Wormy_ | However the way we use hyperspace in the SporeWikiverse also allows for heat and excess momentum to be dumped in hyperspace |
19:34.21 | Wormy_ | So perhaps kinetic impactors could easily be repelled by shields |

19:35.03 | Groxkiller98 | Damn internet. T_T |
19:35.18 | drom | Wormy_: I once created a physics-defying weaponry, that would send slug objects near the speed of light. |
19:35.22 | Wormy_ | That could probably slow space battles from one-shot pot-shots to actual slugfests we all enjoy |
19:35.36 | Groxkiller98 | Say, anyone mind giving me ideas how to improve my Mithadorn's culture section? I think I need more for it. http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction:Mithadorn_Republic#Culture |
19:35.41 | drom | Any ship would be ruined regardless if they had the shields or not |
19:35.54 | DrodoEmpire_ | Hm, speaking of weapons, I wonder if any sorta weapons systems/manufacturers from the 20th/21st century would survive to the 29th |
19:35.56 | Wormy_ | How did it work? |
19:35.58 | DrodoEmpire_ | I figure its possible |
19:36.12 | DrodoEmpire_ | I mean, the gun company Beretta's been around since the 16th century |
19:36.49 | drom | Wormy_: Cannons with barrels filled with super-conducting magnets and some handwave to isolate the magnetic fields. |
19:36.52 | DrodoEmpire_ | And there are few weapons systems better than the kalashnikov- Its a really simple rifle system that'd be easy to update |
19:37.05 | DrodoEmpire_ | So maybe there're AK... I dunno 890's somewhere |
19:37.07 | Wormy_ | Unless we're all made of utility fog in the 29th century (still pretty much the same), I'm sure people will carry guns |
19:37.21 | DrodoEmpire_ | Or just firearms descended from that system |
19:37.46 | DrodoEmpire_ | Well no what I;m saying is any weapons systems/manufacturers would survive up to then |
19:38.12 | drom | DrodoEmpire_: 27th century AKs called "AK-666", or bust. |
19:38.18 | DrodoEmpire_ | hur |
19:38.31 | DrodoEmpire_ | Maybe the mauser bolt system's still in use |
19:38.51 | DrodoEmpire_ | It was one of the earliest and best bolt-action systems after all |
19:39.16 | Wormy_ | drom: I have relativistic launchers for the DCP that can accelerate neutron star ash, think I calculated 1 teaspoonful at 99% C would be 1 zeptatonne, Earth is six zeptatonnes. so thats a planet killer right there. The only thing that can probably accelerate something with such density to that speed is probably hypermatter |

19:51.57 | drom | Wormy_: "This revolver costs 500,000 libre to fire for 12 seconds" |
19:52.23 | Wormy_ | I don't know if you've seen Star Wars Clone Wars Volume 2 (the old cartoon), basically the ARC troopers are armed with blaster mini-guns, and a stranger cannon |
19:52.36 | drom | At that point the revolver would declare independence and fly out of your hand, potentially cheesing you. |
19:52.37 | Wormy_ | and used it against General Grevious |

19:55.28 | DrodoEmpire | Oh, gatling guns? |
19:55.39 | DrodoEmpire | Well miniguns have the advantage of a rate of fire |
19:55.49 | drom | Yeah |
19:55.53 | DrodoEmpire | Modern gatlings basically shoot out a near-literal rod of lead |
19:55.57 | drom | Now combine it with revolvers, DrodoEmpire |

19:56.53 | drom | DrodoEmpire: http://milpas.cc/rifles/ZFiles/Shotguns/Hillerman%20Insurgency%20Weapons/defender_muzzle.jpg |
19:57.07 | DrodoEmpire | That's just a handheld ribault |
19:57.09 | drom | Monet: Yes. |
19:57.13 | DrodoEmpire | Not a gatling gun- it doesn't rotate |
19:57.21 | DrodoEmpire | And not a revolver, as it has a bunch of barrels |
19:57.45 | Monet | I can understand you. Proportionately compared to other ISDs it's quite flet. |
19:58.03 | drom | DrodoEmpire: http://i.imgur.com/BINxFQG.jpg |
19:58.03 | Wormy_ | Sorry, I was not aware of the difference of gatling guns and miniguns |
19:58.12 | DrodoEmpire | I don't think there is |
19:58.17 | DrodoEmpire | I never made one, anyway |
19:58.34 | DrodoEmpire | A minigun is just a more modern term for what is essentially the rotaru gun inventing by Dr. gatling |
19:58.49 | Wormy_ | I see |
19:58.59 | DrodoEmpire | Don't quote me on that though |
19:59.00 | DrodoEmpire | ...That's just a triple barrel revolver |
19:59.05 | DrodoEmpire | No part of that rotates |
19:59.17 | DrodoEmpire | You're making an astoundingly poor case, drom. >.< |
19:59.19 | DrodoEmpire | No offense |
19:59.32 | drom | DrodoEmpire: No worries, it is my trademark |
19:59.37 | DrodoEmpire | That being said, if you can dig up an example, I'd love to se eit |
19:59.39 | DrodoEmpire | *see i |
19:59.41 | DrodoEmpire | **see it |
19:59.49 | DrodoEmpire | Likewise, my astoundingly poor typing skills |
20:00.24 | Wormy_ | The question is, would it be possible or desirable to make a gatling revolver, or would it just be too hard to handle? |
20:00.51 | DrodoEmpire | It'd be extremely impractucal |
20:01.14 | DrodoEmpire | Revolver drums can't carry many rounds, and modern gatling guns especially are infamous for how quickly they fire |
20:01.34 | Monet | What about recoil. |
20:01.38 | DrodoEmpire | Even the earliest gatlings still used early box magazines because their rate of fire was so high |
20:01.39 | Wormy_ | It'd be out very quickly then lol |
20:01.45 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
20:01.46 | Monet | A gatling revolver is a lot of moving parts. |
20:01.56 | DrodoEmpire | That too, it'd be extremely overcomplicated |
20:02.00 | Wormy_ | That's another issue I guess |
20:02.13 | Monet | Which means it's very easy for something to jam |
20:02.25 | DrodoEmpire | As for recoil- its basically assumed that if you're using a minigun, its a crew-served weapon :p |
20:02.26 | Wormy_ | And explode in your face? |
20:02.40 | DrodoEmpire | Guns aren't known to do that, even in the worst case scenario XD |
20:02.57 | Monet | In real life using a gatlign gun Heavy style is relatively impossible |
20:03.03 | Charles_Murray | Should I get Fallout 4? What's it like? |
20:03.05 | DrodoEmpire | But it *could* if you fuck it up *just that much* XD |
20:03.15 | Wormy_ | Charles_Murayy: Really enjoying it |
20:03.18 | DrodoEmpire | Monet: yeah |
20:03.41 | DrodoEmpire | Wormy_: Well actually I'm sorta wrong, as early firearms had that as a very real risk |
20:04.01 | DrodoEmpire | Even today, you must be careful when using black-powder weapons- in particular matchlock firearms |

20:04.47 | Wormy_ | That's more and issue with the gunpowder I imaginem rather than having a bullet shatter into a dozen peices (as I imagined) |
20:05.11 | DrodoEmpire | Seeing as the mechanism of a matchlock firearm is a *lit piece of string*, within a few inches of black powder in the firing pan and barrel |
20:05.20 | DrodoEmpire | drom: yeah no |

20:05.54 | Wormy_ | cya in a week Charles |
20:06.03 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah bullets *can* shatter, but its usually only after actually hitting the target\ |
20:06.36 | drom | DrodoEmpire Wormy_: You reminded me of the trick Britons used against Germans during WW2 |
20:06.37 | Wormy_ | I suppose even if it shattered in the gun, it would be propelled away from the user anyway |
20:06.41 | DrodoEmpire | Some bullets are more prone than others- I believe earlier musket balls were given to actually deforming as opposed to shattering, which maimed their victims horribly |
20:06.58 | DrodoEmpire | (This was due to the balls/minie bullets being made of soft lead) |
20:07.02 | drom | They would air-drop special munitions disguised as ones used by german soldiers |
20:07.20 | Wormy_ | Gun jammers? |
20:07.29 | drom | In fact those munitions are just blanks with explosive materials in then, ruining the weapons when fired. |
20:07.36 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
20:07.43 | drom | And potentially injuiring the users. |
20:08.04 | Wormy_ | clever, doubt it worked to great effect though |
20:08.09 | *** join/#sporewiki Charles_PC (53719a92@gateway/web/freenode/ip.83.113.154.146) |
20:08.23 | DrodoEmpire | Nah it added up |
20:08.43 | DrodoEmpire | Lots of schemes like that would've strained the already stressed German supply lines just that much more |
20:08.45 | drom | Wormy_: It was effective, but seldom used because it started during the invasion of Reichland (Germany) |
20:08.59 | drom | I think? |
20:09.48 | Monet | Germany spent a lot of the war desperate for resources. |
20:10.00 | DrodoEmpire | Yeah |
20:10.36 | drom | Specially inside bombed cities |
20:11.02 | drom | Those fake air drops were parachuted during night to void any suspicion |
20:14.05 | drom | Wormy_: Speaking of spatial warfare. I like to think, you lost one department? The ship is good as a useless shell. |
20:15.06 | drom | Hence your one or two shots equals one-hit KO |
20:15.24 | Wormy_ | Yes |
20:16.01 | Wormy_ | Unless the ship is huge and modular in design, so if some parts survived (which is probably unlikely), some parts could detatch |
20:16.53 | drom | Wormy_: If there is a huge breach, it is more likely the crew is dead |
20:17.24 | drom | Because the entire, if not tiny still exist in enclosed rooms, atomsphere has been sucked out already |
20:17.32 | Wormy_ | I wonder if all this implies smaller, more manoeuvrable craft with small profiles and heat signatures are better suited for sublight warfare. |
20:18.51 | Wormy_ | I mean what if the ship itself is compartmented into blocks, its possible some parts could remain intact by luck, though they could be breached by the sheer force of the kinetic impact moving through the ship |
20:19.57 | drom | Airlocks, shutters and S-shaped chambers is something to consider |
20:22.06 | drom | But large breaches often nullify this |
20:22.10 | drom | these* |
20:22.39 | drom | http://imgur.com/gallery/zfotO |
20:22.54 | drom | I often get reminded by how bad I want a black cat and a Samoyed |
20:23.48 | Wormy_ | I wouldn't mind one of them Savannah cats |
20:24.38 | drom | Wormy_: Servals? |
20:24.43 | Wormy_ | hybrids |
20:25.20 | Wormy_ | with domestic cat |
20:25.41 | Wormy_ | However, strict ownership laws apply especially for the generation |
20:25.44 | drom | Maybe... look farther to Norwegian Forest Cats? |
20:26.18 | Wormy_ | Jebus that's a big moggy |
20:26.28 | drom | While they are domesticated, many owners complain about them being too emotional |
20:27.05 | Wormy_ | Reminds me of the Maine Coon |
20:27.26 | Wormy_ | Did I tell you about the time I witnessed a British Big Cat, likely a lynx? |
20:27.49 | Wormy_ | Serious story, I had to speak to a policeman |
20:28.09 | Wormy_ | Who revealed I wasn't the only witness |
20:29.53 | drom | I don't think you did |
20:30.14 | Monet | "Because the entire, if not tiny still exist in enclosed rooms, atomsphere has been sucked out already" I like ot think that a lot of ships in Sporewiki rely on vacuum-sealable doors at regular intervals |
20:31.25 | Wormy_ | Well it was in Wales a few years ago, and I was staying on a sheep farm (hence they take this stuff seriously). Went out one evening and looked down on a bank to a pair of gleaming eyes. I and my relatives shone our torches and were shocked to see a fucking huge cat with a boxy head and giant paws |
20:31.34 | Monet | Another possibility I guess is a utility fog that acts like platelets do i nthe human body. |
20:32.14 | Wormy_ | We returned to take photographs, alas it had moved and the pictures are only partial. I think my Dad might have even deleted them, which irritates me greatly |
20:32.49 | Wormy_ | Anyway, we told the farm and they said that several sheep had been slaughtered, and that something was after their chicken coup |
20:33.28 | Wormy_ | So the policeman came out, and said a cyclist had seen a big cat cross his path in front of him |
20:33.40 | Wormy_ | week before |
20:33.48 | drom | Wormy_: I've to ask you |
20:33.56 | drom | Had it any visible tail? |
20:34.02 | drom | Had it grey spots all over? |
20:34.15 | drom | Dark-grey that is |
20:35.07 | Wormy_ | I didn't see its tail, as it was lying down, and hacing us. But it did have grey fur, and possibly a yellowish tuft |

20:36.37 | The_Randomness | Hello |
20:37.24 | drom | Wormy_: If they have tufts for a tail, then definitely a lynx |
20:37.30 | drom | had* |
20:37.43 | Wormy_ | It did have tufts around its boxy head |
20:37.49 | drom | Whatever, i slaughtered too many britons using tha sentence |
20:37.59 | Wormy_ | I lean on it being a lynx personally |
20:38.31 | Wormy_ | People kept these animals as pets until the 70's, and still do now illegally. They get loose, and probably even mate in the countryside now. |
20:38.50 | drom | Wormy_: tufts on head, restrictly on ears does not limit your guess to lynx |
20:40.00 | Wormy_ | Well at the time I thought it was a cougar, due to t having yellowish fur, it also had massive paws (but so do lynxes). But its more likely to have been a lynx |
20:40.21 | drom | Charles_PC, Monet, DrodoEmpire: Why you never use live grenades. http://i.imgur.com/P0Vpnqg.gif |
20:40.50 | The_Randomness | oh dear |
20:40.52 | Wormy_ | I'm open to the possibility lynxes are now mating in the countryside. Cougars and other big cats probably did escape in the country but might all be dead now |
