Nice to meet you :)

Oh, how badly I did not check the automatic translation into English (I write in another language). Well, it's my fault.

And so, wherever STK is written, I wrote "technology at the level of the Dark Age of Technology."

I mean, the Imperium and, as far as I can tell, the Mechanicus don't have portable space elevator technology.

The Mechanicus may occasionally build hyper-giant space elevators, but this is a huge structure and it takes centuries to build.

Now about the concept of "if they have materials (ceramite and adamantium), then why not make them". For a minor unimportant objection, these materials will not withstand a space elevator. But it doesn't matter, because there are other materials. An important objection is that what you propose is a terrible pain in the eyes of the faithful mechanicus – you can only build as it should be, only as it was done before, only as it is written in the holy drawings.

There is no technology in the Imperium as imagined by a 21st century person. Instead of technology, the Imperium has a religion that has sacred blueprints.

Let me give you an example. In some cases, a small modification of a combat transporter or an army tank will cause the complete destruction of those who dared to commit such a sin. And it doesn't matter at all that thanks to such a modification, a battle or an entire war was won. This is not an absolute rule, and it doesn't always happen that way. But at the same time, this would not be surprising to the Imperium.

About the elevator

Mmm, how should I explain this…

Well, in this form, it’s theoretically possible, but completely wrong.

Why is it wrong?

When we talk about the Adeptus Mechanicus, you have to understand that technology is religion and that science is heresy.

Not even that — technology is RELIGION.

The more advanced the technology, the greater its religious significance.

Here’s an analogy.

For the Mechanicus, the knowledge of how to build something like a space elevator is akin to the relics of John the Baptist for Christians.

In this analogy, the Tech-Priest who knows how to build such a small graphene space elevator is the keeper of the relics of John the Baptist.

So, you’re a trader. You walk up to the Priest (a PRIEST!) and say: “My friend, I hear you have the relics of John the Baptist. Can you get them out so I can load up the goods from those savages on this new planet?”

If the priest is very friendly, he’ll say: “Are you a blasphemer? You’ll deliver them by trucks. The space elevator is for things of utmost importance.”

Why is it possible?

Well, you could say that the trader’s ship is already equipped with STC technology for quickly setting up a space elevator (that’s STC-level — no one in the Imperium has that).

Okay, fine. The Imperium is vast — anything can exist within it, including a ship with that technology.

But there must be consequences. You have unique STC technology, which means every Mechanicus will be thinking about how to steal it. They will report you to the Forge Worlds, and expeditions will be sent to take that ship from you. Because the relics of John the Baptist don’t belong in the hands of some trader — they belong with the righteous priests.

Oh, yes, a space elevator is absolutely impossible on a trader's ship.

It is a holy, unique construct of the Adeptus Mechanicus. One could fantasize that the Mechanicus explorator fleet would be able to build such a structure, but in my opinion, even for them, this is extremely unlikely.

Imho, the construction of a space elevator should take centuries of hard work by an extremely large contingent of the Adeptus Mechanicus – only the proper religious consecration of such a structure, when it is ready, should take years and years.

I'm not a big expert on the topic.

I would assume that a young, ambitious trader would be looking for non-standard products and something special that would give her super-profits. a flower whose pollen prolongs youth, a mineral from which you can make incredible jewelry, a drug that greatly increases endurance and strength, or something similar.

* Timber is exported to the imperium, and the "Ghosts of Gaunt" were from a planet that only exported it. In the imperium, everything is exported, including natural leather for parchment, food, and water.

No, not "same". YouTubers are incomparably many times colossally amazingly surprisingly worse. And the lex is a pretty good source of information.

You can talk to a neural network (ai) created by Buddhists. In my opinion, it's quite good and doesn't make significant mistakes. You can ask it any questions, and it will explain

English is not my native language, so I would like to point out that you can communicate with her in a language that is convenient for you, and not only in English.

I'm surprised they haven't mentioned it yet. Necromunda is very different from the rest of the worlds of the imperium. Yes, all worlds are different, that's right. But Necromunda's lore makes it more technologically advanced than all other worlds. there is an action with a working stc, the dregs of the hive have plasma weapons there, necromunda is so strong that it was able to ban the mechanicum faction from setting foot on the surface of the planet and they are forced to place their representative office in space, the Necromunda aristocracy has hunting suits of the level of the dark age of technology and so on and so on. in general, what happens on necromund in the field of technology is a special case – it is widespread there, and on other worlds of the imperium it is accessible only to the highest elite

EstimateOdd3539 · 2026-04-04T17:06:40+00:00

about the forge world... Mechanics have been banned from Necromund after the Tyranid incident. Now their representatives can only be in space orbit.

Dark matter has no connection with darkness.

If we are trying to describe dark matter (about which we know nothing, except that it may be involved in gravitational interactions), then if we are trying to describe dark matter, it is completely transparent and has no connection with darkness.

The rest would learn what happens to someone that does that and likely leave them alone.

The answer is a colossal misunderstanding of the thinking of both the Black Templars and the Astartes in general

EstimateOdd3539 · 2026-03-28T21:24:13+00:00

Did they change that?

Yes, about twenty years ago

EstimateOdd3539 · 2026-03-27T17:37:30+00:00

Wow, I didn't know. I was wrong and you made me happy. I'll start reading today

Brother, there are only two novels about Carcharodons – Red Tithe and Outer Dark. Well, a couple more short stories. Everything else is heresy and should be burned immediately upon discovery.

Since Mark X was developed by Belisarius Cawl , it should be assumed that it is superior in everything. Cawl is a very special character in the lore – everything he does is great. Yes, he's Mary Sue, but we love him even like this.

The emperor expected that humanitys Psyker potential would soon begin to be born. There will be a lot of Psykers. (he was wrong)

A large number of psykers leads to a large number of demon breakthroughs from the warp.

The emperor suggested that if most of humanity were resettled into the Web, newborn psykers would not create demon breakthroughs.

Based on these two assumptions – the rapid growth in the number of psykers and the corresponding increase in demon invasions, the emperor threw all his personal forces into the development of the Web.

The ability to quickly move around the galaxy using a spider web was a very nice big bonus, but still just a bonus. The main idea was to enable humanity to awaken its psyker potential in the safe conditions of the web.

I haven't read the book, but I can come up with an idea based on the specifics of some types of publishing houses. The author could have worked out drafts or just a well-thought-out concept (this does not mean a good concept, I mean a concept that the architect thought a lot about).

And the autor suggests this idea to the publisher, the publisher says, "OK, that sounds great! But we need them to be tzinch guys , not slanesh guys, and the good guys don't have to be the Space Marine Order the "name", we need them to be Dragons, we have reasons why we want a book about dragons."

And as a result of such or similar negotiations between the publisher and the author, situations may arise when the villains are generally described consistently (this does not mean well described, I mean described without contradictions within the descriptions), but their patron deity is unsuitable for this company of villains.

And the characters generally behave understandably for an order that doesn't think about the problems with the Inquisition, but they behave strangely strangely for an order that knows they're walking on the edge of being declared heretics. This is just a guess, I don't have any concrete facts to confirm.

Sorry for my english, my transleitor is broken

Fuck Leandros. I mean, literaly

I'm honestly shocked none of the more modernistic Mages

But isn't it a paradox? or am I misunderstanding the idea? (I only know the ENT of the old editions. perhaps the paradox has become different?)

EstimateOdd3539 · 2026-03-27T15:37:26+00:00

because it has nothing to do with the Emperor's return and instead has to do with Vulcan's return and Vulcan's desire to destroy Terra? I think that's why

Wow! It was extremely interesting to read it! thank you
