..That's not how deorbiting works.

Detatching a rod from the superstructure would not deorbit. It would continue to orbit around the planet without drifting much if at all. To deorbit something you need to put significant Delta-V into it.

^This

I was referring to the rods, not the superstructure. I'm aware of the difference.

[~Neri]

Yes. And if a Rod was detached from the superstructure. The Rod wouldn't just magically deorbit. It would continue to orbit with minimal drifting.

If push comes to shove, Akras can just ram a bunch of drones into it from the side to steer it away enough.

Plus Akras don't really give a shit about the rest of the world, as long as they're not falling on a potential gold mind both literal and metaphorical.

Again, Akras are not good people.

[KaineFisher]

I didn't know they could prevent impact. That's what I needed to know.

[KaineFisher]

Could Akras build Monsoon's body?

http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Monsoon#Powers_and_Abilites

It doesn't have to have the ability to fling around cars and stuff, but the rest of the abilities.

[~Neri]

Unrealistic to have a splitting body like that. You'd need a power generator in each section. And then you'd be exposing each section to intense magnetic fields, which is the anathema to any complex computer. And you'd need to find a way to get the separate bits to communicate unwired without interference or jamming being possible while also dealing with the magnets.

Not plausible.

[KaineFisher]

What if you add in magic?

[~Neri]

I don't think a highly skilled enchanter would spend the weeks needed on such an impractical project.

[KaineFisher]

Alright.

[~Neri]

So with magic it's Possible but good luck finding someone who'd wanna do it.

[S34N1C]

So are the Gaeans speaking Terran, or are the Terrans speaking Gaean? I assume the former, what with Akras being the way it is, but just to be sure.

[~Neri]

The Gaians are speaking their respective languages and the Terrans are speaking Terran. There are translator programs translating the conversation in realtime.

[S34N1C]

Ah. So if they can translate audio, why don't they make translating visors? I realize that translating audio is very different than video, but from what I've heard it doesn't sound too far out there for Akras

[~Neri]

Visual translation exists. However frankly, would you really want the backwater savages to continue using their filthy archaic tongues and not learn proper civilized common?

[S34N1C]

Fair enough. I had temporarily forgotten about Akras's famous "Our way or die" policy.
