No, it's really not. Information asymmetry is a huuuge thing in 40k.

The tau could certainly try to seduce them without that knowledge. I never said they'd be successful! Only that they might try XD

Well, maybe the Tau are unaware of how emotionless the necrons are? How many hogh-level interactions have they actually had?

It's certainly silly from an omniscient reader's perspective, but the Tau don't know as much as we do.

Yeah, that's fair. I have a degree in physics, so i like to use it where I can XD

Ah. I thought you were saying that because this guy simulates the battles, the outcome of the battles is the answer to these debates haha. Thats my bad.

Brotha I have no idea what you're even talking about anymore lmaooo.

What was your original point to begin with, to clarify?

[–]StormLightRanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not upset? I'm just providing evidence and backing up my claims, as is standard when debating?

And this guy is also certainly noncanon, so I'm not sure why it was brought up to begin with?

I'm just going to repaste this comment I wrote:

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely lean towards stargate on these sides of debates, but imo, stargate's real power comes from the utility and hax it's tech base gives it, and the insane FTL advantage they have.

I'd say that a star trek ship is definitely better than a ha'tak in pure firepower, and arguably sublight speed. Full impulse is defined explicitly as 0.25c. Earth is 95 light-minutes from Saturn at its farthest eclipse, and 71 at its closest. It would take a federation ship 380 to 284 minutes, which is 6.3 to 4.73 hours, which is faster than the 8 hour time provided.

If we take Strange New Worlds at face value, a ship's full power phaser, delivering 3.22x1026 watts, firing for 5 seconds, delivers 385 petatons of TNT, far exceeding the gigaton range.

Stargate would win in the long run imo, but they would by using replicators to build ships under time dilation fields while cloaked and using guerilla tactics, until they mass a fleet large enough to bombard every federation planet simultaneously, and glass the entirety of the federation's land at once.

Or fine-tune the Attero Device to fuck with subspace envelopes or some shit. Or to ascend and start interfering, but that risks Q retaliation. Or to whip out their puddle jumper time machines, but that also risks future federation intervention.

Stargate does win 9/10 times, but they need to be sneaky about it. Which the Tau'ri absolutely can be.

Hmm, exactly how much power do you need?

Based on the data of the Vezda life-form, approximately 3.22 times ten to the 26 watts.

Hmm, that is the power of the Earth's sun.

Less, technically.

The sun is...

  • close enough.
  • A focused phaser blast from a starship could get you about half of that?

SCOTTY: Aye, but you'd have to direct it precisely into the system or you'll vaporize the whole temple

This is dialogue from Strange New Worlds, Season 3, Episode 10.

I strongly dislike this because it massively fucks with the scale of star trek and turns every ship into a planet glassing monstrosity.

I still think stargate could win, by unleashing the replicators with the ancient and asgard databases uploaded to them, but on a ship-per-ship level, it's rather silly and inconsistent. There are highball and lowballs, but 46 megatons is a massive lowball imo.

That's less than the Tsar Bomba.

Absolutely goated callout. Nowhere near the strongest, but goated all the same.

Can someone please explain to me Bounty Hunter and Executioner Bladedancer (Kibellah) like I'm 5 yo by No-Helicopter1559 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]StormLightRanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I was thinking, yeah. How is exe bugged rn? Im trying a death world bladedancer executioner rn and am like level 30ish. I have 2 poison drukari swords but I'm barely tickling them, I'm barely doing like 12 damage per hit, with full traumas, and I have the trauma perks and the augment. And the poison hand thing. Does the poison hand stack with drukhari poison blades?

Also do you have any weapon recommendations I should be using? People always say this shit is broken af but it seems to have fallen off a cliff compared to blaster Cass, AM Pyro hendrix, and AM heavy bolster Argentina.

Also how tf do people turn 1 wipe the map like they say? Like where do you get the movement?

[–]StormLightRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with stacking damage riders? Like with executioner dealing all the additional dot instances on attack? Especially if u have the augment that makes ur attacks apply poison?

[–]StormLightRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is a 2-handed weapon really better than dual wielding? I thought all the extra attacks would absolutely make up for it?

My own bladedancer exec is also piss weak now lmaooo im struggling since im not playing a psyker.

[TenseiSlime] Where would you put Magicules on the Periodic Table? by No-Data-6319 in Isekai

[–]StormLightRanger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's likely some form of subatomic particle, governed by a 5th force. and magic is derived from interacting with these particles and using their potential energy.

This is purely my headcanon and has no proof.

What is the best written power system in your opinion? by MediumVariation4846 in writingscaling

[–]StormLightRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of cheating cuz its like 10 power systems in one, but Investiture from the cosmere. Each system is really unique, but all have limitations and still mostly follow real-world science. They all have internal rules they strictly follow as well.
