lol DarkKnight. It all depends on when your cruisers reach me. btw, for your ships, the shields aren't on all sides, so it looks like they WOULD be hit by EMP. My hull is pretty thick. maybe about 20 feet thick. Now, before you say anything, the ship does have mining equiptment, so if anything should go wrong, they don't want to blow up everything and everyone in the area. Ships like this have gone to collect gas right after super novas, and during that time, the gas is very hot. There are also a number of other things that could go wrong with operations.

Well, first off, they aren't cruisers, they are the around the largest ships there are =3, two of them can normally destroy any ship they've met until yours I think..., and 20 feet... uuhm, 20*30=600cm=6 meter... crap... the wings of my fighters are probably only 4-5 meters long >.<, however... depending on how heavy your atmosphere is inside, if it's a realy heavy one, then perhaps all that pressure could destroy the last meter =3, and no, they have a special energy shield that only blocks EMP, it's not realy energy consuming, and is only 2 inches above the surface of the hull, it covers the entire ship except the wings (which don't have any electrical parts in them) the shield DOES go through the wings though (as it's not realy a solid shield)

ok, so a large energy explosion could disable them right? cause all EMP resistant material has a limit of what it can block. and since I backed up my power core, that's a lot of energy. However, the drawback is that I can't use my beam turrets right away. It has to recharge to allow me that power. lol what'd you think of my counterattack? XD

Well, the main shields defended the EMP shields, and it's not a material, it's still an energy field, just completely calibrated on defending against EMP, also it has several fail safes, nobody wants to get without anything =3, I was also planning on adding a new ship to the fight... however, since your post, I don't need to anymore =3.
Anyway, the ship will come someday, the Lance class ship, basically it's a ship with a solid, sharp nose that pierces through a ship, and if it doesn't go through completely, it releases troops onto the ship =3.

so I shall create one for him.
------
Name: Northro'dir (North*throw*deer)
Home Planet: Valhalla
Controlled: Neighboring systems between the Black Sun controlled systems, and Earth. Slowly being forced towards Black Sun.
Life Span: 170 yrs (earth years)
Government: Emperial. Composed of various leaders from different tribes. Each cheiftain of a tribe remains in control until someone of the same blood takes the throne, or the family os forced out.
Leaders: Odin (ruling family of them all), Thor, and various others stated in the Norse Pantheon
Description: Strong, tall warrior-like people, similar to their Norse followers during their time on Earth. A slight bronzish tint to their skin gives them the appearance to be as hard as a mountain. Daring eyes gaze at foes, constantly looking for a fight, as their hands grip their weapons.
Other/History: A warrior-like people, the North'throdir had a period of control in the Sol system, where they worked to bend the people to their will, their way of life. The Norse were the most successful, while the Greek and Roman people branched off to completly different beliefs. ANother race, believing in keeping undeveloped races untainted, forced the North'throdir out of Sol and neighboring systems during a long and bloody war. Finally forced to retreat, the North'throdir withdrew further and further from Sol until finally the attacks ceased. Any attempts they made to return to their lost systems resulted in resistance from the race that pushed them back. With their presence missing on Earth, the religion died out, their followers ceased. They find they must discover new worlds for their armies to conquer, to develope into followers. And their gaze turns to another section of the galaxy, one unexplored, one where their influence might have better efects, where their firewall against Sol would be unable to protect in time. Their mighty race has a chance to redeem their warrior title in new space, with new possibilities.

Weapons: Typically, their weapons are ranged, whereas the Generals and royal families have custom mellee weapons at their sides, though a ranged weapon is not uncommon. The royal families of different nations/tribes lead their people under the banner of Odin, the most powerful family of them all. Throughout history, the leaders of the families have kept their name, with little change in power. Thor, Odin, and several other family names have become common in Norse mythology as gods, while others has been warped into the image of monsters (because of their ruthless personality to their own kind. Not physically changed) by Norse followers. The North'throdir always look for a challenge, a good fight, to prove their valor and warrior heart in combat.

Technology is simple. Their weapons have power supplies. Their hammers (like Thor's for example) can be specified to have certain capabilities. Thor's Hammer, long in the Thor family, was known as the hammer of lightning, as it sent massive amounts of energy into the target, overloading systems nearby on ships, or burning someone in their armour. The amount of power depends on the force of the impact. if the hammer pokes someone, it's static. If they ram it as ahrd as possible, the effect can be so deadly, as to blow away the target. Thus was the legend of the 'Norse Gods', as different weapons had different effects, depending on the customization of the forger, at the family's request. A proud, noble people, the North'throdir are a battlehardened people, and have few few friends capable of surpassing them in physical combat.
-----------
Hows that? It's simple, flexible, and does not limit you to mellee. I might add, you don't want to have weapons that can destroy a planet in one shot. Unless their is a long process of drilling to the core or making craters all the way in. But no 1 shotting anything larger than a fighter. ok?

lol DarkKnight, remember, this battle is the equivelant of a super destroyer versus many cruisers and fighters. The difference is in technology and strategy. lol oh, and temperature. XD and... half of your fleet? wow that's quite alot, noting how large my ship is. lol I probably would take more damage if you actually sent your cruisers at me. XD so far, they kindof ran away or ignored me. lol and now my beam cannons swept across them, causing a lot of damage to the ships that didn't have their shields facing me. lol

He's fighting half your fleet? Oo I think the reason you think he's overpowered is the fact he has mellee weapons against a thick armoured, ranged ship whose beams (like mine) will cut through other objects. (biomatter should be little problem :p As that stuff will burn >:3) A cruiser can last a good while before being destroyed, but when they have to get up close, there is almost no chance of escape. OVerall: Half your fleet being used against it would likely happen anyway! It'd be possible that that's what would happen if I were to replace sacrid's ship with my own! So, either way, your people will learn that ranged weapons are needed if a race wants to survive. :p

I think my race would rather go extinct then allow ranged weaponry in their system =3, and if you haven't noticed yet, I've started to cut into your thinnest part of your ship, even though they are now retreating for the wave of beams comming their way, it's just to decrease the intensity that will hit their already weakened shields, just a tactical retreat, and btw, if the ship wasn't so massive, then it would've been a lot easier =3, also, we're not a race that ever attacks stations or such, and as this ship is like a moving station, they can't coap with it that well.

Now SOL if you were the least bit like varsaigen you would of heard the words directed towards you weeks ago. Varsaigen a very well made race. I like it. Approved.

And shadow your cahracter has been deemed unapproved for the following reasons.
1) Your charcter would require a new race which you do not have.
2) You never specified how you would revive him. We have yet to approve a method of revival that can take something that was long dead and bring them to life. The only method we have is intense surgical procedure minutes after death.

Hes not literaly dead... they would just melt the ice and examine him, his brain unfreezes and thats when he supposidly comes back to life. His souls been in the body the enitre time its just his brains been frozen. And fine I'll give a character sheet. Though its not gonna have much due to him being the only one of his kind alive... (supposidly >:) )

Name: Anthros
Home Planet: None
Controlled Planets: None
Live Span: 100-150 Years
Goverment: None
Leader: None
Description: Wolf like men, they can have different colored fur. There is only one (supposidly) Left alive. He is currently frozen in a block of ice but can be revived due to his soul still being in the body, and his brain just being frozen. His flesh has been stored perfectly, he has aged none due to the ice.
Other History: Unknown.

Well yes you could gath but if you were a certain race with certain race ability such as being able to survive ice cold temperatures the organs in the body would slow down so you could keep your heat and such.

Shadow do you mind if i try to edit your race?

The dinosaur the paleotologists found, the one that still had it's skin and texture, wasn't quite complete. I recall that it was either somewhat eaten, or part of it decayed. the fact is, that even if it were still intact, it wouldn't have survived, and couldn't be revived. There is no plausable way to survive being frozen. It's just too cold for anything to live in.

Well, cold temperature does slow decay in the Human body, so why not others? Becouse of a half frozen lake someone died in, he could still be revived 2 hours after his death (or it was longer) Also, on earth there are certain simple organisms, belonging to the group of the Extremophiles, that just freeze in ice, but when the ice melts, they just resume living as if nothing happened.

yes but that tablet would have to be "magic" or something. Inless you can explain scientifically how exactly it could freeze him yet keep him alive. It has to be unapproved. And with simple organisms its different for a microscopic one celled organism to survive it due to a certain chemical or something but its a whole other thing for a organism with billions of cells to survive it.

uhg. He would be able to survive trillions of years in ice as long as the tablet kept him at absolute zero, where nothing moves. No heat, no movement on any scale. He would be perfectly frozen. Even his body would not rot. He could, theroetically, resume living after being thawed.

The tablet does act as an insulator as well as the fact that he was underground. The reason hes underground is due to the fact that the kingdom was under attack by human soldiers. Yes humans once lived on the world before the ancient shadows had destroyed them. The planet was wiped clean of life, except the plant life. The planet that had its life extinguished is also one of the planets the shadows now control. They've been researching the planet for years trying to find any life. Thats when they found him and the tablet underground through a secret underwater entrance.

The fact that it acts as an insulator, insulators keep everything cool. And the cave also helps with that. The tablet was taken from icelands of the planet, and the wolven decided to use this strange tablet that never melted as an artifact and worshiped it, but soon found out that it could be used to help protect them and there city. But of course it backfired and they were all killed. Few years later he comes back and ext ext.

An insulator... underground stays at a set temperature of around 50 something degrees. Absolute zero is well very very very cold(about -456 degrees Fahrenheit,-273 degrees Celsius). How can a single tablet make its surroundings cold enough for absolute zero without magic. The coldest point in the universe has been recorded as -270 degrees Celsius. Tell me how can something reach a point that is naturally or artifically impossible to reach..

The tablet as I said is from the frozen parts of the land, and I never did describe my planets. The cave acts as a bigger insulator because its under ground, its colder underground than it is above it. Not to mention they found him in an artic area so yes it would also be colder there...

rofl. Maybe he had nanoids in him, repairing his cells after he was thawed. :p Similar to the borg episode in Star Trek Enterprise where the nanoids in the Borg healed both the biological cells and mechanical parts. :/ And they ahd been frozen for about 300-ish years :/
