Doesn't everyone have railguns? I do, and I know the Caenophar have something very similar.

well segway said hyper sonic railguns, so they just have bullets that go really really fast, about march 5 and over according to wikipeadia

http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Hypersonic


and segway, now that i think of it, fold space would be faster then normal hyper drive or about the same depending on how much you 'fold space', see you fold space to half its size, it would take half as long, and take a certain ammount of power, you add more power, meaning you can fold it more, meaning it is even shorter distance


so a fold space drive could vary in power reqirement and how much fold it creates
(more power=more fold=gethtere faster, like i said)

Advice part: make the 'Gatling' Rail Guns your faction tech special. Nobody else has them, it can be something unique to you. Also, historical note, Gatling guns are named after their inventor, Dr Richard Gatling. He was something of a... how shall I put this... human? He also died in 1903, a fair while before he could have developed an affiliation to Segways. So a) spell it right and b) call them something different, a Rail-Chain Gun or something.

well when you think about it, it does make sense, if a person on earht could invent it, then who's to say an alien would also invent it on their planet?

More advice: flying Segways may overcome the super-high-tech barrier of stairs, but they don't affect the chances of a soldier being shot in the leg and thus falling off his Segway. This is now even more of a problem, seeing as they're flying, so will likely fall to their deaths. Never mind, eh?

well they could be designed differently, maybe having a plate of metal around the legs, and make the people on them wear armour

maybe somthing like this thing in the video, but cooler looking

and as it says in the caption above, seen as that video is so old, you wonder what they have now?
and just imagine a race of aliens making a device like that, but even better? doesnt seem so unrealistic now does it?

[Vortigern]

OK, Lenny's your thing, keep him. But I still think nuclear radioactive missiles count as a superweapon. I know it's not really my place to tell you to change stuff, but, as Oscar Wilde once said, Everyone's entitled to my opinion.

I know, I wasn't saying he shouldn't have them, I was just saying they can't be called Gatling guns, because I'm pretty certain the alien who invented them for his people wouldn't be called Richard Gatling.

and just imagine a race of aliens making a device like that, but even better? doesnt seem so unrealistic now does it?

I never said it seemed unrealistic, I was merely offering critical advice to help segwayrulz get a working faction that could theoretically compete against any other real faction. And you have to admit, the first incarnation of Segway Labs and Aperture TM was a bit unviable.

Also, Segwayrulz, isn't that Segway Centaur thing just a quadbike with a weaker frame and more safety features?

[Byakuya Kuchiki]

Wow...Lenny. No. Lenard ________________

Come on, no nicknames given to your leaders yes? Last names too?

And for the last time. Get rid of the segways. As in NAO.

[some_weirdGuy]

yes, even i can't deny that



and i think you are going to have to wait till he gets back befor he changes anything(he said he's going on holidays in the apocalypse forums

[segwayrulz]

Well im back and firstly why does everyone hate segways and secondly Lenny's Name is Lenny and he has no last name?

[some_weirdGuy]

make up a name, or how about Lenny Leonard(lenny from the simpsons), or Lenny Lenardson

[Vortigern]

Well im back and firstly why does everyone hate segways and secondly Lenny's Name is Lenny and he has no last name?

Everyone hates Segways because they're impractical, irritating, slow, daft-looking and just the worst weapon of war imaginable. And as for Lenny, we have nothing against him. But he ought to have a last name, as he's a human. Most humans do, if you think about it.

What he said

[segwayrulz]

But these are advanced alien flying segways and the races religion is to worship them and okay Lennys name I can change to what Some weird guy said (Lenny Lenardson).

[Spectre]

FYI segways suck ,they are inconvienent,i say that ATV's are better to use becuase they actually get you somewhere,and also i bet girls hate segways as much as the men,so dude,let the segway crap go,every person or faction you have has something to do with em' ,it's repetetive.

[some_weirdGuy]

yeah, he kinda copied me on have repition (all my people have the same last name, Kaltesh, or in this case, my race was called the Kaltesians[the same ones that are going to be in my RPG, so this might give you a hint as to what will happen much later on in it ])



and how i see it the flying segway thing could be useful, and personal hover platforms are basically the same idea, so he could change then to hover platforms, and just not have his people worshiping segways, and only have the important people with hover platforms

Or he could just ditch the whole idea, and have nothing more to do with Segways, because it's a bloody stupid invention that should never have made the commercial market. You might as well as call it a slow-and-not-scary-mobile. That's almost as fearsome. Also, SWG, I don't think he copied you, I think he's just a Segway fetishist. Hence his name.

[some_weirdGuy]

lol

he did copy me tho with having his guy with the same name, when he joined i was reqesting for Kelvin from apocalyps, the be able to be in Asencia,


but i dont mind

anyway, yeah, segway, maybe its time you got off the who segway idea, maybe change your sig to somthing eles that's cool

and not have your people all having them(i mean come on, they are funny, but after a while people just start to get mad at you, and complain about how stupid segways are, so maybe you should change it just to please them, theres plenty of other cool stuff out there)

[Vortigern]

maybe change your sig to somthing eles that's cool

I love how that makes it sound like Segways are something cool. But, to be honest, he's free to keep his name and his sig and his ava, as long as he doesn't try to make everything Segway-related.

Wow, reading that back, it makes me sound kinda pompous and demanding. But you get the idea. Lose the Segway-based factions and characters, and you might just gain some credibility around here

[some_weirdGuy]

lol

poor segway, nobody likes his segways anymore


but hey, now you can keep your signature as it is

[Vortigern]

poor segway, nobody likes his segways anymore

What do you mean, any more? That suggests we ever liked them at all!

[Cheshire Fox]

he did copy me tho with having his guy with the same name

Not really getting into this, but I have to say he didn't copy you at all. You're anything but the first to name all your characters the same; it's a time honored tradition.

[Fire Ze Missiles!]

Indeed. *cough*Darkskul*cough*
Anyway, all this is somewhat off-topic. I think it's about time Segway submitted another faction request, don't you? Unless we've crushed his spirit so much he's given up.

[Byakuya Kuchiki]

I agree 100% with resubmission without segways. If I see another faction registration that deals with them. You will get locked from registrations here. Forevermore. Or until such time that you can provide a good enough faction that has nothing to do with anything that's earthlike.
