VigilVirus Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 It's not for you to decide. BTW, Atomics were used in the book by the Emperor himself on a colony. And they were already used in our past posts. It is a big decision to use atomics, but sometimes it can be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 yes it was used on the richesian moon. but if the other houses had known the real reasons, they would be destoyed. and if everyone is using atomics than i guess it is ok, but it will make the people who use them not very virtuous with the Guild.I now presume that we are not following the books exactly or are we and that we are just allowed to use atomics and other weapons and "thinking machines"?.

VigilVirus Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 I haven't used the atomics yet. I just said that I have Advanced Ares ships - I developed them earlier and shared the tech with the Emperor.Adv Ares ship - invisible ship, does not appear on radar, armed with lasers, biological missiles, chemical weapons and stoneburners.

Andrew Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 so are they "no ships" as described in heretics dune and chapterhouse dune or are they just plain invisible ships? or are they from a game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilVirus Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 so are they "no ships" as described in heretics dune and chapterhouse dune or are they just plain invisible ships? or are they from a game?Yes, they are advanced versions of the "no-ship" from the book.

Inoculator9 Posted November 16, 2002 Author Share Posted November 16, 2002 If we were going by the book, the Guild wouldn't be interfering this much. You can't make decisions about military placement of the other houses, and the emperor uses atomics as long as he pays off the right people, bla bla bla.

Andrew Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 The Guild accepts these new terms and will not interfere with military placement unless it involves spice production, or beneficiaries of the Guild that supply us with our needs.

Inoculator9 Posted November 16, 2002 Author Share Posted November 16, 2002 Im inclined to agree. Only use atomics on a small scale, like for individual ship destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigilVirus Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 It was locked because it got boring and no one could do anything. (Enemies were all at unknown locations and no one knew anything). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostHunter Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 Argh....What I am saying is you shouldn't even have them, one nuke blows up all, compared to hand to hand combat....Which is cooler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exatreide Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 Vilgi Vilgi old buhdy ol pal...You know you cant do that. That is god modding. THis is your last warning do it again and its temp ban from fan fiction."The Harkonnen reinforcements arrived on Arrakis. 10,000 transports landed on Dune, dispatching 1,000,000 infantry, 500,000 vehicles and 100,000 airforce to be added to the already immense Harkonnen defensive army. All around the Harkonnen territories defenses began to prepare. Thousands of turrets were built around the Harkonnen borders to protect the territory from the possible invaders. Several thousands of Advanced Ares ships were spread around the borders of Harkonnen controlled space several months before as a safety measure. One could be sure, that there was at least a couple douzen on the Atreides border and Ixian border, floating there, invisible and armed with weapons that can end the lives of billions of people (chemical, laser, bio and nuclear). No fleet would be able to cross the borders without being severely damaged by these masterpieces of Human destruction. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 I agree. This is geting pointless as no matter what anyone does they are always out numbered by the Harkonnen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 And I was the one who locked Dune - A New BeginningHowever that is only temporary. I will unlock it on the conition that something constructive (or Destructive!) happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilVirus Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 That was not godmodding. Just because the numbers are big doesn't make it so and my army is not really that big.Why are you being so paranoid?? 1. I did not destroy anything2. I did not do anything that is out of ordinary - I just established my defenses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"1. invisible..Nothing can see them so no matter what they do u can seem them and they cant see you.2. No matter what they do they can not get a fleet out. "No fleet would be able to cross the borders without being sererly damaged"one that is not severly damaged. 3.You never made a mention of these ships around your space in the earilery posts its like saying. "The nuke didnt go off becouse of the 50 million anti nuke jammers that i put on my planet 10 months ago without saying anything about, huck huck."

VigilVirus Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 1. The Ares ships have been developed at the very beginning of this RP thread. The Emperor and the Moritani also have this technology.2. I have brought it up just now because their spreading was secret and now they are needed for defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunenewt Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 The Ixian forces amassed on their border with the Harkonnen sector of Arrakis.Ixian Cyboids could easily take out 5 Harkonnen troops at loss of only 1 of theirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
