we dont know if we have cheap ceramics. we have plastic, glass and thats about it. that we know of.

[Maxinum McDreich]

(frick, didn't mean to post, ignore.)

[GreatWyrmGold]

this world doen't run on video-game logic. Ships will have point defense cannons.

...Which probably work much better when they're shooting at things trying to hit them than drones flying about further out.

That's more or less what the Hiram-I's I suggested are.

Hirmam-Who?

Oh.  The ship.  Yeah, that's what I mean, but I'm thinking the pirate's bases are far enough from the sun that plastics don't melt, right?  So, why not make some drones out of plastics and glass?  They won't take many hits, but they don't need to if we have cheap drones spilling out every one of our cavities.

And plastic. Plastic is a wide-ranging material group. And a little iron so railguns work.

And stone.
That has to have a reason behind it. They wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise, right?

[Aseaheru]

whoknows, it might be the ore of the most boss metal in the universe.

[Thecard]

Yeah, I mentioned plastics.
And yeah, they'll have point-defense, but that won't save them from the army of fluff.  This will basically work the same way a wet tissue is going to be harder to get off of you than a dry tissue.  Practically no resistance to damage, so anything you try will just break some of it off.   Instead of being able to target the bridge of a cruiser, they'll have to shoot each individual drone.  At some point, they may just say "Fuck it, it isn't worth the effort."  But I'm hoping (and thinking) they'll kick ass.

So I guess 2 designs: a robotic SPG, and some kind of tugboat/miner.

But in any case, the survival of the Navy Chief is our first priority, even more important than the fate of this banana republic.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Sure,create a miner too. A side project, put warships above the Green Dwarf or whatever we call it.

When I talk about survival, its more about not getting into a position of getting killed.

[Thecard]

Out of curiosity, is a coup d'etat completely out of the question?

Again, don't worry about the miner overmuch until we have mines. And that requires the pirates to be defeated.

For now, yes.
Without good reason, I'd veto it most likely.

[Thecard]

Ah, worth asking.
I mean, if we wanted to take over someplace, we could just put some kind of program in our drones that let us control them, or blow them up or something.

But yeah, I think it'd be a bad idea.  Just... maybe a !!FUN!! one, and maybe one we could keep in mind for a later time?

If there is a coup, either it would be done now (by the head of marines/army, obviously), or much later if the navy chief can muster enough firepower.

That's why I say survival is the main priority; the state can fall, but the PC must live another day.

[kaian-a-coel]

Did anyone understood that you could sell your designs out of the system? Like, we're not alone in the universe?
Or maybe I'm wrong, but that would greatly expand our possibilities.

[10ebbor10]

Everybody knows that there's such a thing as point defenses, right?

Anyway, does glass include fiberglass and such?

[Thecard]

If ships use lasers, could we put mirrors on our ships?
Just a question.
