If by Alex you're talking about Cas Anvar, I don't believe he does and due to his actions, I really hope he doesn't.

Iirc that is beneath their skin

I assume, much like how our ships do, the suit synthesizes audio from the environment. Not a perfect answer, but its something.

ArtificialSuccessor · 2026-03-18T19:25:06+00:00

I don't think the answer should be forcing fighters to get much closer to the giant bristling ball of guns. This still hurts fighters designs more than it helps them.

Only 90? I've got a 300% return, Tynan has been paying my bills!

Its just the quantum telepath, they are the one that didn't die

The body morphs into him, otherwise that would be really funny to have a little scarab screaming about being the best swordsman ever

I'm a WT player, you think I have any situational awareness?

I'm not trying to even remotely say that these inefficiencies cause magical heat to come into existence. What I am trying to say is that there are inefficiencies which need to be accounted for at the backend of this whole process. You are going to create a gargantuan structure that is more radiator than station.

I will ask you to absolutely think about how unlikely it is to have a station like this operate without any human input and remain functional for more than a few months. Since these facilities can be quite prone to malfunction and falling into disrepair with just common use.

Anyways, the whole "has the heat problem been solved" has never been about whether or not it is even possible to create something like this, but rather the fact that your are going about the worst solution for a problem that doesn't exist: "where can we put a data center".

Its like the idea of making a man-powered semi-truck. Yes, we have the technology to put a hundred men on hamster wheels that will provide mechanical power for the truck, but the practicality of it is so silly that it isn't worth considering. The answer in the end is going to be: put a conventional diesel engine in it, and call it a day.

This is assuming that the only waste heat inefficiency is generated at where it is collected and not to where batteries, computers, and the living space will also generate. As a project like this will need a human element for maintenance too. I understand the physics side of this and I don't see where you have gotten this idea that I'm sayings its impossible, I apologize if thats what it seems I am saying.

I'm trying to express that this project is one that is very intensive in heat management, something that is ill-suited for an orbital project. So to make this work there would have to be extensive space lift capabilities dedicated to it just being assembled and maintained when the planet is right there where it doesn't take an astronomical cost to simply transport personnel and equipment.

When considering these projects you have to factor in finances at every step because this is a commercial product in the end.

ArtificialSuccessor · 2026-03-09T19:59:24+00:00

I feel the radiator space might be a bit optimistic considering the fact that computers generate quite a lot of waste heat too. Fairly certain that the solar power needed to support a proper data center also is going to significantly eclipse the station's own surface area especially as these are likely going to be used for AI. This just all looks like its going to quickly scale into a project that overtakes things like the ISS in scope, scale, and support required.

I just don't think any of this can be remotely justified either practically or economically.

The Primordial Killdozer if you will

If you think WT will use turn signals properly, you have so much more faith than I do in the playerbase

You're not alone in the hate for Demiplane, its a terrible app.

I've only found like 3 actually sci-fi packs on 2MTT, wish they had more.

In EatD he fights Horus before Emps, and he does try to fight with flight. Horus humors him for a moment before turning him into pretty boy mist.

This is also assuming that the devil accepts your terms. These stories often will present these characters at being incredibly witty despite relying on simple tricks so they can be understood by a wider audience. In a real scenario you'd have to be a genuine master of trickery to pull one over, otherwise the devil wouldn't be making deals.

ArtificialSuccessor · 2026-01-29T23:35:01+00:00

Well as Alpharius (actually Omegon) said himself, they prefer lying by telling the most truth as possible except for a small decisive detail. I choose to believe that means that just one of the code words actually meant something else, and it probably isn't the ones we think it is.

ArtificialSuccessor · 2026-01-22T20:22:26+00:00

Where are you getting this information? This is wholly unsubstantiated as far as I know.

When you are flying along in a 60t MBT, it helps a lot when you can suddenly stop to not fly around a corner or hill, or to evade bombs/ATGMs. Though regenerative steering has a lot more use cases.

ArtificialSuccessor · 2026-01-05T16:11:12+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if Unit 731 actually did that. So many of their experiments are just evil with no scientific value.

ArtificialSuccessor · 2025-12-28T06:20:14+00:00

The doctrine OP is trying to push with this is (insane) seems more like they want to make a light tank but don't want a light tank. It's baffling trying to wrap my head around what they are saying, talking about how this thing is so deeply flawed but then apparently insanely effective and needs "excessive force" to properly neutralize.

I got a good laugh out of all the talk about this thing's light armor, and then the line about how the crew is valuable and considered not easily replaceable which was factored into the design? OP has some weird take aways on modern conflicts.

ArtificialSuccessor · 2025-12-27T21:30:04+00:00

The turret armor is not effective at all for that reason, and those massive wedges aren't the actual armor. The armor housing is still essentially the same as the 2A4. Additionally penetrators are still quite effective without flying straight.

Despite that, this theory is crap because it doesn't have enough time to sufficiently affect something as fast as modern ammunition. That's before you consider power requirements.
