POST if you want to get promoted anytime soon!

when you say with you mean in one of the squads or closer

Muglug that comment you made doesn't make much sense;

"when you say with you mean in one of the squads or closer"

by god we are in active lately.

Sorry for my extended absence, apparently it's illegal to urinate on a sheriffs office, who knew?

Anyway, looks like there's been alot of activity, I likes. It'll take me the rest of the day to get fully caught up, sooo. . .just keep it up.

Oh, Dante, Nice banner.

Ok, apparently when I said good activity I meant Dante. Because no one else has posted. Go. Post. Now.

New reports policy: If you miss two consecutive reports and/or don't post at least twice a week (sunday-sunday) you get AWOLed. If you have a good reason why you can't manage that let me know. It's not really much though, one bloody email and/or pm a week and two decent posts. I don't care if I see you on IRC or even in here, if you're not contributing you're not staying on my roster. This policy starts now.


[Edit:] It seems my post on the story was lost, so expect to see it later.

i would love to post but there has been absolutely no mention of me and i don't want to pop up somewhere im not meant to.

Muglug, you would probably be with Leon and Sniping 101.

EDIT: My idea is to have some enemy troopers wearing light, specialized armour. These would be more dedicated revolutionaries with black being higher in the command chain than grey....

EDIT-2:

New banner! Feedback please.

i like youre current banner.

the storys starting to make sense but still a bit cloudy

ahhh why are people Pming me!

Indeed. 'Tis disappointing all around. Oh well, in theory all the dead weight will be gone monday/tuesday, so maybe we'll get some active recruits.


Just one thing Dante, and I was vague on this point. The radiation causes the weapons themselves to fail, akin to when a normal gun jams. I think of it like a certain percentage of the times they pull the trigger nothing happens and the longer they're in the radiation the worse it gets. No need to edit it, just future reference.

Sorry if it comes off slightly like a lecture, but I am a Physics major after all


Technically, an aerosol is a suspension of fine liquid droplets in a gas, not radiation or any similar energy source.

As for radiation helping dissipate, quite the opposite.  You wouldn't dare use a thermal detonator in any radioactive environment, as its effect could be tenfold or even more depending on the level of radiation, and the timer device can quite easily go screwy as well.

Blasters would also give off radiation, granted in a lesser amount (which is essentially what they dissipate).  Basically, radiation would affect the power packs, the plasma mechanism itself, and even the heat dissipating sinks (or whatever else is used in its place).  If overheated a little too much, don't be surprised if your blaster explodes, or if you are lucky, just stops working.  High power laser weapons, well, they most likely will get around to a nice big explosion   Unless you happen to have a number of radiation/heat sinks comparable to what a starfighter or capitol ship has while traveling space.

As for projectile weapons, we still use power packs and such instead of gunpowder or another chemical equivalent, which means most of our slugthrowers (especially the chaingun) are designed in a similar manner to a railgun or gauss gun, only on a much smaller scale.  Theses rely heavily upon magnetism, which I probably don't need to state that radiation can get quite screwy with.

Anyways, that's just some of the Physics behind it, and I'm sure its more than you cared to know

Malfunction or no malfunction, SOMEONE has to post, right?

Also, the Star Wars Databank states that rad-troopers use modified E-11's with more power to compensate for radiation.

canon > science

right?

Quote:Modern weaponry becomes less reliable in radiation fields of Grade 4 or higher...Their blaster carbines are more powerful than standard stormtrooper sidearms.

It says less reliable, not useless, and the fact they can use them on a regular basis at all may tell us something about Star Wars technology. I'm assuming there are other modifications to their blasters to prevent them from blowing up whenever used.
