Then maybe you should delete the majority of your posts. If you’re going to hinge it on Arsia’s conclusions, then you need to keep in mind the ‘combined with the inability to get supplies to the planets’. Or do you think those worlds are going to miraculously achieve all that you’re saying without outside assistance?
It’s not about keeping the biosphere ‘as it was’, it’s about keeping it viable. At all. You don’t keep a biosphere viable by focusing on a dozen or so species we find handy to keep alive (including us) and ‘just’ winnowing those down to 0.1% of their former population numbers or less.
No. No, we do not do anything close to the genetic manipulation that would be needed to make food crops that grow in the climates that the darkening of the stars will certainly cause. Achieving that through genetic engineering—which you brought into this—would require levels of genetic manipulation orders of magnitude beyond Jovian capabilities.
Then you should shut up, because you’ve offered nothing but intellectual dishonesty in this matter.
Just a reminder to everyone involved: Ms. Tsukiyo’s perspective on the universe kind of boils down to “it’s all good,” so she’s likely taking the angle in argument she is without really feeling like she needs a justification to back what she considers the more interesting side. Arguing from that side’s perspective, defending it from all angles no matter what and attacking its enemies, is probably just fun and a good intellectual workout.
Of course, she also wouldn’t see any problem with cheating and bad faith. We’re all dust in the long run, so why not?
What the hell woman, i do not know about you but i like some time to ponder and digest different perspectives and let the boat find its balance after something shook it.
React as you want of course, but as i said to Aria, if you are going to put stuff inside me or my mouth, i would prefer for ir to be pleasurable.
Just because i do think it is all good in the long run does not mean i do not appreciate some of my peers or take their words into consideration (flesh has all this fuzzy biochemical feedback), and i did hope for arguments from you to be above the basic one at the other topics “Transhuman bad babychild lusting for power” “Screw CONCORD bad people, i want pawa”, but deconstruction is as interesting as constuction of course.
Oh well, again, thank you for your input, i will, within my subjective time, take it into consideration.
The expectations i place upon others and frustrations from it are mine to handle, i am not “poor” because of them.
And i do not feel picked upon, ideas may be crushed and bashed until they can not resist, sometimes even people.
While i appreciate your eagerness, i am a big girl and can perfectly take care of myself. If i miscalculate, there is always a new clone available (Hi Sansha me wherever you are) and redundant infomorph backups.
That would certainly explain why Triglavian ships could be classified as T1/T2 like the vessels native to New Eden instead of T5+ monstrosities you’d expect to be powered by a singularity, black hole or otherwise.
If the Triglavians are offshoots of the Second Jove Empire, as Uriel has proposed, I shudder to imagine just what kind of arcane and destructive technology they might possess that we haven’t seen.
I’ve never seen a Thunder Kite for myself. Could you post an image of one?
OOC
Is the description of a Thunder Kite your idea, or did you find it in some obscure piece of material that I just haven’t seen?
Then the Triglavians had better set up some kind of photon emitter that can imitate a sun’s effects on the planets in systems they conquer because otherwise everyone living there is ■■■■■■.
I’ve been to Vale before. The planets are lovely, and the inhabitants were kind-hearted and cheerful while I stayed there. None of them deserve to die for the Collective’s conquest efforts any more than the people in Sakenta and Raravoss do.
Wheat? You kill it. Rice? Rip it up. Pigs? Slaughter 'em.
You just make sure you keep a breeding stock. But you definitely kill the vast majority of it. The only exceptions are like, fruits, nuts, and berries.
Some would say that our cluster is a major crop, that its residents get their labour extracted away to please the big market god, instead of living a fuffiling abundant life.
How and to whom one gives their life away seems to be important for the collective pathos, hence our current predicament.
Does anyone have information regarding the deployment of Soltueur and Omnya-class titans being deployed in defense of Vale and Sakenta, respectively? I don’t expect anyone to have been on-grid with one - heaven knows, Capsuleers are unpredictable and creative enough that permitting a large group of them to get anywhere close to an Iapetan titan is just asking for trouble - but I would expect there to at least be some evidence of them being deployed in those systems.
I would think that the possibility of habitable planets being rendered lifeless rocks like Mannar VIII would be dire enough for the Federation and State to deploy their most powerful vessels, unless they fear the Triglavians have some trick up their sleeves capable of rendering one helpless.
None at all, possibly due to concerns about escalating the current situation, the Triglavians responding in kind would be bad. Might also increase friction with other nations, but most likely they do not want to present capsuleers with such a juicy target. There are unconfirmed reports of AEGIS black ops teams being active in Raravoss, could be other systems too.
