see they turn face to face and the damage explodes

Turn 6 - Tac Captain Spocky attacks quickly sending a full strike targeting the Artimis' starboard nacelle. The first phaser its the nacelle square followed by 2 photon torpedoes severely damaging the nacelle and rendering it inoperable. The Watt's second phaser beam narrowly misses the ship as do ...

Well the whole paper was an April Fool's Joke that someone thought would be funny (and I agreed). If you want to kick this over to jokes/humor instead of science/philosophy.

The Fermi Paradox, as I'm sure many of you are aware, is the question of why we haven't seen any signs of intelligent life elsewhere in the galaxy/universe given our understanding of the age of the universe, time/distance scales involved and what we would hope is a fairly large number of potential e...

Conn phase is up. The computer penalty has really been killing Spocky's maneuvers the past few turns.

Turn 6 - Conn Captain Drancoris orders his ship about to face his enemy. As the ship slowly turns he orders his helmsman to restart his evasive maneuvers; however the manual input he skillfully performed last time has taken its mental and physical toll and he is simply unable to match his earlier p...

This match up seems to be really sluggish. Like these ships are better at not dying than at killing things... Well the problem is that they're both set up to shoot forward. The one turn they were both in a good Firing range and facing each other was the turn that both ships went from sparkly to hav...

Turn 5 - Tac Captain Drancoris orders a full phaser strike against the Watt. The two lethal beam lance out and strike through the hole in the forward shields striking the Central section and dealing 12,000TJ of damage, but causing o further damage. Two more boarding parties attempt to beam out; but...

An update here: Since there was an overwhelming interest in a WWII and/or Dominion War simulation, I began working on a more refined model for simulating combat, particularly one that can deal with multiple classes with their own stats. I have finished the first draft of said program and given it a ...

They came in useful after all!

Turn 5 - Conn Captain Drancoris orders his ship to take evasive action after narrowly missing a barrage of torpedoes. With the main computer gone the helmsman has to manually type in every maneuver, but he proves up to the task. Captian Spocky orders his ship ahead full trying to finish the maneuve...

Not much really happening this turn. but the potential for some serious damage in to come.

Turn 4 - Tac Captain Spocky orders a full strike targeting the Artimis' Starboard Nacelle. The two remaining forward phasers and the forward torpedo tubes are able to get a lock and fire. Unfortunately the angle, distance, and slim profile of the Steamrunner leads to all eight torpedoes flying wide...

True it shouldn't be illegal (the prostitution, the trafficking should be), but if they're going to maintain it's illegality, then it should apply to cop stings as well. the other 49 do just fine without such a provision.

Finally got all of the orders in and the Conn phase is up.

Tac orders please.
