Gateworld Virtual Fleet 4.0 - Discussion thread

avoid taking a race from some other show/game/book/whatever, swapping a name and some miscellaneous tech/body-parts, and calling it your own.

i only took the visueal look of them nothing elce

[thekillman]

But, 'killman, how many people can actually afford to live on these stations? Or are allowed to?

90% of the costs of building a space station is travel. rings and asgard beaming make that MUCH easier. even if it's power consuming, with like 20 cents per kilowatthour? you can use many petawatthours before you're even close to breaking even.



guppy, it was just a piece of advice. your use of "like in halo" made it feel to much like a Halo race

[colbmista]

halo is dumb.........

Gotta disagree with you there big time Colb.....it may not be the most intelligent game out there... but it sure isn't Dumb

EDIT- Oh...2K posts

for as long as it's not cliche.


not happy with tollan tech. i foresee problems with phase shifting.


also tom, your application of RKV's would make the stargate universe not stargate anymore as any person would prefer a moveable space station over a very static city

If we keep to much to established canon, then what's the fun in that?

I just finished reading Excession , by Iain M. Banks, and it just hit me that SG has every prerequisite for building Culture like ships; force fields, exotic power sources, AI. Obviously nobody's going to be building these in the fleet, but I think that's the direction it would naturally go in the future.

Actually, that would still make a station with a reasonable habitat space very expensive, the entire thing is a technological construction, and it takes money to manufacture all that stuff.

I think you both have a point: at first these would be limited to critical infrastructure like government and military bases, but give it a few decades, and the prices go down to where everyone can afford to live in one. The problem is that by that point the galaxy would be pretty peaceful, so it would be a lifestyle choice at that point.

if every madman with a tel'tak and some patience can devastate a planet, i don't think it'll ever be peaceful.

i'm not sure how expensive houses are in your neightbourhood, but i think it'll be a LOT cheaper than anything we can make today in space. as i said, most costs come from transport. make that easy and cheap, and the prices drop. it'll probably still cost half a million, but as the rich go to the relatively much safer space, the prices drop.

well help me to make them not like i said its my first time i have done it i would like any help that can be given

Here is a scenario you could try if you want a race devoid of Goa'uld influence. We know as per canon, the Asgard ad a hand in taking the Norse culture and people from Earth and placing them on at least two planets. The Ancients also were most likely responsible for several human civilisations that we know, well most of them in fact that were'nt from Goa'uld slave stocks. You could create a race of advanced humans that have evolved, not to the point of ascension, but perhaps beyond accepted human physiology. "A New race of humanoids" something akin to how the older race of Asgard appeared in the lab episode with Hermiod.

[thekillman]

i'd prefer not to include too many major advanced human races. i'd like to see alien aliens

[puddlejumperOZ]

Well if they looked like Hermiod's pre-Asgard, they'd be quite alien then wouldn't they

[guppy338]

mine are 7 foot reptiles

[colbmista]

so basicly the unas?

[guppy338]

so basicly the unas?

thats one way to look at it smart unas i never though of it like that

[colbmista]

the unas are smart ...

[thekillman]
