The Coalition's Space-Beacons; Tell me about them.

Wow... That was incorrect grammar. Anyways,
1) Radio or Electro-Magnetic Waves?
2) The range?
3) How many are in each system?
4) Size compared to a minifigure?
5) How fast can it send/receive data?

1: Neither. Something far more sinister and arcane.
2: Infinite, unless stopped. However, this does not account for time lag.
3: There's generally 1 for ever dozen or so systems. All sectors have their own, and the more populated a sector is, the more Warpspace Beacons are there.
4: Warpship-sized.
5: As fast as it can get it. The GOD Machine was integrated into the Beacon network, and made the processing of information much faster. However, the loss of the computer made processing slow down. I'd say it takes about a month to get a message across the entire empire.

No! You weren't supposed to reply yet!
We want this group active again, right?

*Sinister grin.*
Time to kidnap Aweomes.
Permalink

We do, but no one else knows about this stuff. It's canon that isn't yet published.

That's from Thyrenda to nearly Earth, though. It takes far less time to send a message out. Besides, if you want to kidnap Aemowes, you're going to have to find his ship, get on it, subdue him (which is like trying to capture an angry, intelligent tiger or something, Thyrendi are a predatory species [in more ways than one, if you catch my drift]), and then get out of there. It's gonna be intense/

Who said the UNE was kidnapping him? COUGH*Precipice*COUGH
Actually, I just wanted to say something like that.

Sneaky sneaky...
Permalink

I was right, wasn't I?
f course something like that has to hasppen sometime in the storyline or else people would loose interest.

Then again, people are ALREADY losing interest. Whats taking Anders so long?
Permalink

I find it hilarious that I just found a link to Precipice's Fan-Club.
Permalink

Anders is done, I'm just working on the actual writing now.

REJOICE!
The sound of many trumps are calling for the next chapter hast risen!

Hey Awe, check your Requests, wouldja?
Permalink

Planning something, are ye?
EDIT: Lol; the battle for what?
Permalink

Exactly what it sounds like, m'lad.
Exactly what it sounds like.

You've either got a plan, or you're truly insane.

The answer... the answer...

Mmm, I'll take "all of the above" for 300.
Permalink

Oooh, I'm sorry!
It is correct that you are both A) Planning something and B) Mentally Insane, but you are not C) a Turnip.

Oh, don't be picky. At least it got the group active for a sliver of time.

No, just the world. Atomic Vocal-Cords; very unstable.

Well, at least we're creating activity.

Matt seems to be one of those "Never swear" people. Let's drop an anvil on his foot and see what happens.

When did these beacons come into existence? Can't say I've heard of them until now.

Regarding Precipice, I've been done a week and have started on the next episode.
Permalink

These beacons have actually been around for over a year. I came up with them as the excuse for the COP's lack of technological progress sometime in the summer of 2009.

As for Precipice, I'm still working on the script. You also may want to refrain from going too far into your next episode, because I've had to change parts of the plot for reasons that cannot be disclosed here.
Permalink

Heh-heh...
Permalink

Aye. But for real, I'm literally on the last paragraph of 8. You'll have it within ten minutes.
Permalink

Wait, Matt isn't Anders...

/facepalm
Permalink

Really?
Two MOCs from me AND Precipice all withing 24 hours?
This is a new record.
Permalink

I won't be able to post it 'till tomorrow or the 23rd, as I'm on my iPod now.
Oh, what suspense!
