RE: Avali Nexus Forum Thread: 4 Score and Several Threads Ago... - Lost Rinoah - 09-21-2016 (09-21-2016, 03:11 PM)OdinYggd Wrote:(09-20-2016, 06:05 AM)Surge Wrote: On a scale of feasible to horseshit it is definitely a 4 or something The idea for pulse shields has been around for a long time. It's even the style of shielding used in the halo series by covenant and adapted by human forces once reverse engineered. Shielding being constantly on is expensive, energy inefficient, and produces massive amounts of heat over time after all, magnetic or otherwise. The issue becomes what balance between these things are you looking for. Pulse shielding is good for disassociation of energy and explosive weapons (rapidly peels them apart using it's tiny pulses or disrupts aim heavily diverting the shots or causing them to explode at a distance) And only has issues with solid projectiles, specifically flame retardant non ferrous ones, but ferrous materials still oft get through, though slightly damaged and not as damaging. This weakness is the cost of the system being more efficient and (generally speaking) cheaper than other systems across all areas. However, if you want to go REALLY cheap and REALLY effective compared to the cost, you'd use something closer to a broad spectrum AMS Using plasma counter battery fire to repel attacks on the ship via slaved trajectory computers set to their own projectile speed etcetra. All for minimal wear on your ship, max coverage, minimum cost. Lasers aren't going to repel projected energy, but plasma will counter projectile, explosive, laser, other plasma, projected energy, and non-ferrous flame retardent materials. What else would you need when the better alternative is already here today in real life? Just apply a bit of that science mumbo jumbo and point defense systems outrank shields for everything that is going to see combat. Minimum drain on your ship, your wallet, your rescources, and your safety. Who needs some ineffective energy envelope when you have a set of those babies?

They are a bit strange, they have sheep/ram horns, and fluffy bits on parts of their body including the arms and legs that kind of look like armwarmers and leg warmers. They also have a Long tail with a fluffy cylinder at the end, making it kind of ressemble a chimney broom. I have an entire Stash page with everything i've written down so far if your intrested. I'm drawing some concept art for some stuff including how they look. the Average Male is around 5ft 6in or 167cm. The average Female is around 5ft or 152cm. So they are kind of small for a humanoid.

But they are around that size, and build and have the same kind of horns. Pre-Civilization, they would climb alot for food.
