...I have a bomb with a 500 lightyear blast radius.

...Yes, it's as useless as it sounds. Atleast until I have to fight an unstoppable foe in the middle of intergalactic space, assuming the plus-thousand-years-old Strategics still work by then - could be rather embarrassing if they failed to detonate.

Dare I ask how that possibly works?

Bear us home upon our shields
Lay coins across our brows and sound the bells

And when our sons and mothers lay us upon the funeral pyre
Tell them we died Hellenic soldiers with our faces to the fire

A Strategic is to a nuclear bomb, what a Battleplate's main reactor is to a nuclear power plant.

Said main reactor is fondly referred to by it's engineers as burning the Second Law of Thermodynamics for fuel.





So, basicly, it's a Big Bang Bomb, based on the premise that, if we accept interdimensional/universal travel, then the universe obviously isn't a closed system.

Nope. Before you vanished I didn't know enough about your nation OOCly. :P

Maybe if you're back now you might get a spot. :P

Well, I'm back, and I'm a robotech nation (although this will be changing! remember the whole "I'm gonna kill my nation and start over? well it's still going to happen!), with some modified specs to bring robotech weaponry up to par with mainstream NS FT. I went toe to toe with several GFFA members a while back and held my own, but that probably doesn't hold a candle to many here in this alliance.

If it wasn't GFFA members then I might be impressed.

Rogga has a point.

I checked out their active members on NS economy and other similiar engines. I think Allanea and I joining GFFA effectively tripled their total overall defensive capabilities, and thats without countin Alex's private army of d00m.

Heh. I don't expect a place on anyone's power rankings for the same reasons the Idiran's thought little of the Culture. Every Xenonian could be amongst the elites of the most powerful, but there's a heck of a lot less Xenonians to go around.

As for ranking everyone, I've never had the fortune of roleplaying exhaustive military campaigns with the majority of you enough to know. Nevertheless, CF/Balrogga are the ones I know the best, and they would be ranking high. I look forward to your expansion of work on your nation to fit you in somewhere Mekanta, regardless of if the mystery dispells some of the power. : )
