True XD

Ummm...the bullet would travel fine. In fact, it'd move faster because there wouldn't be any air resistance. As long as you have air in the combustion area, because that's needed both to create fire and to force the bullet out of the barrel. You just wouldn't hear anything because sound can't travel in a vacuum.

Ravnin IV is correct about how bullets would travel in space.

I would like to point out thre is something that quite a few people forgets when designing a projectile, missile or torpedo that travels at relevistic speeds.

If the projectile, missile or torpedo is protected it will vaporise upon contact with space debri (dust, rocks, gases, chunks of ships, etc...).

That is why photo (or is it proton) torpedos from star wars glow, a energy field is projected around the torpedo protecting it from space debri and light weapons.

[Byakuya Kuchiki]

Thus a photon torpedo. I was merely saying that normal bullets cannot be fired in space, as you pointed out, as they would disintigrate readily. This is why sheilds are needed at higher speeds (Probably past .1C).

[Drakconus]

Nowe

And for future reference for everyone, cannons (everthing 20mm and larger is considerd a cannon) fire shells and small arms (for infantry) fire bullets.

Also as a side note the shields gives a good excuse for the projectiles to glow

[Drakconus]

So, Nowe how much longer will WoW be going for because I would like to join in.

Its kind of dead TBH, not many people here playing...If you want to join and hop in feel free. We're still trying to defeat the domain, and after that I think it'll be SWGs turn to run the story line for a bit (he had some brilliant ideas)

[Drakconus]

I have a idea for a nation, let me look at the other factions to see if it steps on anyone elses toes.

Nowe, do you think maybe we should give Worlds of War the old 'Arsencia treatment'?
but you dont have to give up control, and i would be happy to help. We can reset the storyline, and give everything a 're-imagining', changing what you want to change and keeping what you want to keep.

We can even go ahead with my storyline idea as the opening for this 'new' Worlds of War, or come up with a completely new one.
We can keep the events of what has happened, or we could wipe the slate clean.


It worked in bringing life back into Arsencia...

[Fire Ze Missiles!]

I think that's a good idea. I would post but I don't wanna interrupt the storyline you have going but equally I don't know what else to do, so I'm stuck right now
So yeah, refresh might work. Providing i get to keep the Caenophar I put far too much thought into them.

[Byakuya Kuchiki]

Sounds like a good idea swg, discuss your ideas with me before we do any major revisions though. I would like to also hear other people's ideas on how to either improve (or if you want to take control, lemme know, tbh I'm bored of scifi and the "I shoots chu with my lazors pwn 1111....etc.)

[some_weirdGuy]

I would be happy to be the new vort in this situation and take control of your RPG.
and yeah, im always full of ideas, i'll pm you some time(i dont know if it will be right now or not though)

Thats exactly how I feel, I don't just want to barge into somthing that I have not helped create. I'm not sure what we should do in reguard to restarting or reimaging the story, though I would like to be part of something new.

[Vortigern]

Meh, if you come up with some good new plot ideas I might rejoin the old place. It'll definitely be good to keep WoW around, just for the sake of enjoying the old material.

[Drakconus]

How about we start the new story line 100+ years later, the Domain were defeated but the exact details were lost to history.

This would give us some room to create a new story as well as allowing us to keep the old material.


The only other idea on this topic I had was starting something new altogether.

[some_weirdGuy]

My idea was either do just that. Make the new worlds of war set after the first one, or my other idea was to just 're-imagine' it, no explaination behind why things are different, they just are. The stuff that we wanna keep we do, and the stuff we want to change we also do.


So nowe, do you want to keep running Worlds of War? or hand it over to me?

[Byakuya Kuchiki]

Well my thoughts...and very evil they are

Q-space collapse, our universe as we know it is wiped from existance. We, as we are in this universe, somehow managed to escape to an alternate version of our universe where the Domain where defeated long ago. This could lead to some interesting possibilities.

[Vortigern]

So, basically, magic disguised as quantum physics. I believe that's the current level of understanding the scientists of the world have. Rock and roll!

[Drakconus]

I got this from a novel,

Something happens that creates a multitude of paradoxes, this causes Q-space to reset itself in order prevent its destruction (its not doing it because it is self aware but out of a balancing affect that occurs in nature). This reset causes many changes to take place, like for example the Domain being defeated long ago or they never existed in the first place (these were just examples).

I got to go but I will go further into what I mean later.

[some_weirdGuy]

Everyone escapes into the Dropzone: Ghost Incursion universe
(which was where Kronos was actually from. If my RP had kept running then when we came to the finial 'bad guy' i had planned, everyone would have all been getting wiped out, and the Kaltesians would have created Kronos and escaped into 'another universe'. Then in DZ:GI when all hope finally seems lost, the kaltesians would have come back all even more advanced and stuff, and sent the bad guys packing.


Anyway, i take it then that you are going to keep running Worlds of War yourself then Nowe?
(just remembered, i was gonna pm you some of my ideas wasn't i... i promise i'll get around to it some time, i cant right now though)
