May goes to the Armory. "Master-San! Do you have a webcam I could use?"
"Normally it would be free, but just for that it costs 1 token."
((I may end up going out during the night because it is my birthday today and we'll party to commemorate. I just hope things won't get worse while I am away.))
Happy birthday Caellath! There's a cake waiting for you back on the ship!
((Happy Birthday!))
Of course I was too slow. What was I thinking?
Laser the thing in the... whatever may be in sight.
[con:1]
You fire the laser rifle in a terrified arc, sweeping about like crazy. While you fail to hit the creature attacking you, you do manage to lop off a few of your own toes. [end:1] You pass out.
Game over.
Both, I want to see if theirs anything that we haven't found yet and i'm having trouble imaging the ship in my mind.
May goes to the Armory. "Master-San! Do you have a webcam I could use?"
((No. Just... NO. Don't do a random japanese accent out of your ass! That's both disturbing coming from May and also out of character. NOOOOO!
No offense, but I don't think that it makes sense. Do people even speak the second hardest human language (japanese, which isn't as popular and widespread as the hardest human language, english) anymore in the future?
Also, Happy Birthday Caellath!))
Bishop was silent for a minute, just staring at the thing infront of him, before managing to speak.
"It's.. It's HORRIBLE! Good god, how does the leg shields even work against explosions without crippling people?! Oh right, I forgot about the state of the government. Never mind.
And the sad thing is that it's STILL more protective than the space suits we wear! Life sucks for us. Have you any other options on file Steve?"
>The joints on the suit lock. It works, even if it looks stupid. They're designed for use on shrapnel, not pressure waves anyways. As per more suits...you seem to want one that doesn't exist. A light, strong, roomy one thats not massively expensive doesn't exist. Thats pretty much it. You'd be better off with a battlesuit.
((Happy birthday Caellath!
Also, don't see how Mays accent is out-of-character, when speaking penguin and laying siege to the fourth wall is.))
Put the cooling system further down, just below the plating, then load up Milnos armor, then test the two inch version, that, and the metal plated, but make sure I insulated them. For testing, laser rifles, gauss rifles and tesla sabers.
"May? Are you still there? I'm still kinda mad at you... Please?"
Well, milno's is a really nice system, it's gonna tank lasers and gauss rifles no problem. Yours is cheaper but not as good. It will work for some but don't expect to be wading through fire. Tesla sabres are gonna screw'em both though.
((Happy Birthday Caellath!))
((About that prism, it's like...
Hmm.
Well, picture the stock of the rifle along with the firing mechanism. The prism is located right next to the power source and inside the chamber, with the outer part splitting the laser into ~3 other rays, including the main one that travels down the main barrel. Now I'm thinking there are other 'arms' that are lined with amplifiers just like the main barrel, and those arms are curved outwards turning inwards until they reach the barrel tip, where another prism is located that would redirect the now-amplified-laser into a powerful beam. A much more powerful one than a single uncombined laser.
And...I don't get the lvl 20 wizard thing, sorry. ))
I'm no laser expert, but I don't think it works that way, or at least works better. Isn't splitting a beam into parts, there by reducing it's power, amplifying it, and them merging it back together going to be the same as just amplifying the original beam? You'd probably just be better off using the focusing chambers like cog. The result is the same, a more focused beam that can do more damage, and you don't have to bounce lasers off a million internal mirrors.
((It bends the laser, as I'm guessing the laser, while not being on multiple light frequencies, stays on only one frequency [thus being invisible if I'm using a modified Rifle]. Also, it would help with the range and intensity from the shooter to the target, i.e. longer range with lesser power reduction.
And I was planning to include the focusing chambers, but also in adding the prism to add...auxiliary beams for aid.
Also, scrap the curvature then, in it's place what about a trapezoidal curve?
Downside, I guess: Extended fire//Firing for extended periods of time, so it must be in short bursts as the prism can absorb small portions of it's light, no matter how clean.))
Discard idea, quit V.R. Head to Quarters, sleep.
Realization: Unsure if lasers here are of one frequency - thus can't be bent.
All this future technology is pretty damn hard to figure out, so you head to the barracks and take a nap to cool your brain.
((Happy birthday, Caellath.))
[VR Nekarios]That's why I suggested that the contact tubes be behind the armor, not in it. They should be in the insulation area, touching the outer layer.[/VR Nekarios]
Discard the previous attempt and pull up a fresh Gauss Rifle, removing the magazine system in favor of a break-action, increase the caliber to 40mm (Or 37mm, either way) and quarter the power going through the coils.
((For reference, I'm going off of the M79 Grenade launcher for the caliber, and this for how it should end up like.))
Ah, if thats what you're going for you're gonna have to dial back the power actually. Doubling it like you were trying to do there would be like taking all the force of a cannon and sticking it behind that grenade. You don't need that much force, and you probably don't even want it. What you're describing now, with that quarter power, is a lot more like what you want to do. You can do that with 50mm if you want.
