Kaworu's eyes suddenly widened in anger and exertion, putting a good deal of spiritual power and physical strength into himself as he slammed his spear shaft vertically forward against Jeff's locked blade to send him back.

Yes, I fought Kaworu. And I lived.[RPGData:10005|9|28|56|3|3|482|222|Dragon Sword|Dragon Armor|Dwarf|40551|None|None|134|6|1|0|None|NaN|None|The Klu Klux Klan]

Question: Do coordinates correspond to solar systems, or do they correspond to individual planets?

Individual planets. Trying to lump entire solar systems and revolutions and orbitals into grids just gets too cluttered and inaccurate. There isn't a great way to define the individual planets within those areas otherwise.

Cruisified and proud! Are you?

Overthinking O_O?

I just want to make sure I have all my information since even if my army was a less means more (Like in the SC Universe) I am more worried about my armies and the folowing traits that make them what they are.

I: There sheilds as shown they are an extremely adaptable, long lived, and powerful species. Yet without there sheilds they are easily killable so that is one MAJOR factor to the use of my army.

II: Since the temple for the creation and equipting of the Dragoon (If before the Brood Wars) does that mean I can bring injured zealots (Or almost dead. if choose to) Be put into these Dragoons slowly and surely and basicly get lets say 1/5 of my total loses in gains as Dragoons.

III: Also as the previous questions if after the Brood Wars (If Aiur was temporarly lose. Then the Temple was destroyed (In that story it was) which they replaced Dragoons with Immortals a more powerful addaptation.

IIII: Also I love your story,but I just want to be 100% sure of what the role of my soldiers are and if I have to choose a split in my ranks from Melee and Long Range then I would like to point out either more Dragoons or the SCII Throw Out the Soul Stealer.

A Protoss Ranged warrior who used a Psionic Beam Rifle to kill enemy units. They also used a Hover Board to put them from fast ground level to mid Air mode....

Sorry for the overkill again with questions, but as I said above I want to get all the info as possible.

Davicus, you're majorly overthinking this shit, and you're making me really want to take away your claim on Aiur. How many times have I stated that all infantry are basically equal to one another? Mandalorian is equal to human is equal to protoss is equal to wookie so on so forth, though other mechanics can indeed be researched. The fact that in StarCraft, protoss infantry wield blades and in Star Wars people have blaster rifles does not change the fact that they will act exactly the same on the battlefield. Energy shields don't exist until you research them into play either. Stop overthinking things. Prove that you're capable of handling such an important planet.

I have found a problem with Arrakis, Spice. In the Dune series it was the most important thing ever but I don't want it to be that because that is god modding. So I need help trying to figure out how can I downgrade it to something less powerful.

Again, you're kind of overthinking the way some of this will work. Spice will just be another commodity you can trade and will count towards your tier. Simple. Less is more.

No wait... that doesn't make sense....

Every single Planet of Dune is completely dependent on Arrakis, the SOLE source of spice. Any trade would HAVE to be approved by Arrakis. Nearly every human being is addicted to it/requires it for space transportation. I addressed the problem in the history I sent you Jeff... Why not go with that?

This is why I chose a robotic race of moral-less beings. Also, this may be over-thinking (I do love to think), but I had an idea that with every invasion I start, I include a single "Mother Ship" unit, that would pretty much control all of the ground forces in that battle. Destroying the mother ship, will pretty much put my ground forces in a disarray, and so and so forth. This would also put special ground structures I would place on captured planets called "Spires", which are basically permanent mother-ships, in the way that they "connect" to the homeworld. If not, I get to power through with my spidery/scorpion-y mechano soldiers >:D

To be honest, I just looked at what you sent me and said, "Eh, too long, won't read." The thing is, Fenring, that while the people in your system may all be addicted and its a required resource in your system, the rest of the galaxy is quite secluded from your spice. It may bind your economy within these four planets, but outside its going to act just like any other export/import.

Edit: If you do that, Niroth, your forces will be at an extreme disadvantage. :wtf: Its not that hard to destroy a mother ship, if you focus some effort on it.

Good point. I'll just stick with the Spire constructs. They would be like a government building, only in the form of a huge tower.

Well exactly... that's total crap. That's my point. Basically that means if I piss off Arrakis they can just say "Oh well we are cutting off all spice supplies, so now all your people die as they are addicted to it, oh and you can't use space faring vessels ever again..." What the Hell am I supposed to do about that?

Also, you don't have to read the history. You might just include it in like a little specific history post thing in the Galactic Beginnings thread. Basically it says that Dune was Terraformed, and there is no more spice addiction, so everyone is independent. Arrakis will still have a huge population though, and will have plenty of economic potential.

So what part of this says that your people are so dependent on it that you will die/depend on Arrakis? A simple commodity doesn't govern everything if its cut down to the simplistics. :teach: The actual workings of planets and systems is up to you, the individual. Its really not my job to include that into the whole galactic story. Plus, your history of spreading humanity across the galaxy puts too much importance on the Dune universe.
