wondering about this? 19 days old now.

Sorry for the delay, the non AI admins have been off IRL things (marriage, a kid, a death in the family). I'll personally review this and post a response in less than 24 hours.

Thank you.

[barry]

so whats up?

[XO-10]

Do you mean stealth against radar or visual or both?

How many torpedoes can it hold at a time? How fast can it generate them?

What does it breathe/eat? Can it reproduce? If so, how, how often, and how many 'offspring' does it have?

Do you mean stealth against radar or visual or both?

Answer: This species is very advanced, and very very old, so its cloak works against both visual and radar, however when in an atmosphere there is a certain shimmer to it if you look hard enough(think like a predator from the predator movies).

How many torpedoes can it hold at a time? How fast can it generate them?

Answer: 4 torpedos at a time(per launcher), and it takes 1 round to regenerate 1 torpedo. It usually regenerates when it fires one, so it rarely appears to be out of torpedos.

What does it breathe/eat? Can it reproduce? If so, how, how often, and how many 'offspring' does it have?

Answer: Its sustinance is oxygen based, however it does not need to breath like we do. It is required to reenter a oxygen rich atmosphere once a week to be able to sustain itself. Its essense is energy based, so yes in a way these vessels can reproduce but the mechanical portion of the body must be built for the 'newborn' within a month of its 'birth' or else it will die. Once it connects with the mechanical part of the 'body' then the biological part begins to grow. Each of these vessels can take as long as 6 months to build/grow. There are a variety of bodies however that can house such essences, but they cannot switch, once they are in a body they are there for life. They usually die with their 'pilot' or operator.

This particular vessel has 3 'children' each serving a different purpose on the homeworld.

With the following stipulations...

Sheilds: can withstand three hits, takes six turns to bring them back up.

Speed: Max speed 1,150 km/h, can slip into hyperspace as though it had a x1 hyperdrive (to be exact)

Special:
- Cloak device (to radar, as it's organic but it shows up as a life form when scanned. It is not invisible.)
- Bioorganic mind instead of computerized system, allows the computer some degree of independent thought. (fine, but limit this to the euqivalent of auto-pilot, maybe it knows how to use evassive manuevers and/or weapon systems unmanned but nothing complex.)
- Limited ability to regenerate battledamage. (If the ship is destroyed, no part of it will regenerate. If the main computer or 'brain' of the computer is destroyed or removed, the ship will not 'regenerate'. If the ship 'dies' it is dead and will not regenerate. Otherwise, one week can repair minor damage or a month for more severe damage. For example, a direct hit from a laser/plasma canon will take a week to 'repair' but the loss of an engine, a wing, ect. will require a month.)

Weapons:
- Two Plasma cannons
- Two Energy Torpedo launchers- self replicating(doesnt require source of ammunition) (can carry 4 shots each, requires 24 hours to restock)
- Light tractor beam projector (no, it's all but impossible for the best of engineers to install tractor beams on anything smaller than a large transport.)
