Stealthy Space Ship

[invertin]

Hm..

That would also explain how the "Halo" structure from the Halo games keeps people inside, it's just spinning alot faster than we notice... Somehow..

That's settled then. You're good at this.

Hm.. What about shields? How would they repel/block things without repelling/blocking air or the ground? And for that matter, how do they exist at all?

I'd love to see a scenario where an overactive scientist makes an energy shield then doesn't think it through and suffocates.

[Chainsaw man]

Sheilds in what respect? We talking Force feilds for protecting Infantry in war, or life suport sheilds? are We talking Energy sheilds for Structures/Space satations/Space ships? or are we going even further and going for Planitary Sheild matix's to protect from planitary bombardments?

Well, It depends on what your trying to block, what kind of energy you are using and many other variables.

Ill stick with the idea of Hazardus envirenment life suport sheild for space venture.

I stick to the belife that It would be much more effective cost wise and much more relyable to be in a Space suite for going into outer space than an energy shield. For one, in an energy shield you need a powersorce, if that runs out or is shut off by mistake in space, you loose oxegen, and you would probably instantly freeze to death, that aside from that, you may also find your eyes get sucked out of there sockets acording to popular belife. Aside from that, you breath Oxegen, and breath out Carbondioxide, what happens when you run out of oxegen after that time. also Jet packs would be highly impractical, because oxegen is Highly combustable!

BOOOM! you aspolode in a bubble of energy!

I think i made my point...
the idea of Energy sheilds are not practicale for some things.

[Count Roland]

one thing I never got about halo, was how it retained it's ring shape, logically that much mass should have formed into a spherical shape.

[invertin]

That is a good point... Rings aren't planetary shapes.

Those big gun things do shoot energy thingies upwards. So.. I dunno.

Just energy shields in general. I don't see how energy can block anything, or how a little wristband would be able to generate a forcefield of it.

[Count Roland]

that reminds me of flashback

[Chainsaw man]

I could possobly see the Energy sheilds happening with a Spaceship, but I think point lazer deffence is better. There is allot more than Energy sheilds that could be used to block incoming attacks from an enemy.

One sheild I could see happening is a fire strom sheild (as seen in C&C Tiberian Sun)
Any sort of "Energy sheild" must consist of an energy, heat in higher temperatures can destory or alter just about anything. Try standing on Mercurry for 10 minutes.

How ever, with any deffence mechanisem, some one will create a better offensive tool to take out the Sheild and all who is behind it.

So one form of a shield is a wall of heat energy so intense it melts, evaporates and dissintergrates anything it touches?

Awesome. And without the glowies. Glowies may look cool, but in space, being a big shiny light is probably a bad idea in a battle.

The only problem I can see is that things will either overheat, or it'll use alot of electricity but that fits in with alot of Sci-fi, where energy shields require alot of energy most of the time.

Okay, energy shields sorted.

Um.

...

Aha. Alien communication. They might not even have throats where we do, so how could we possibly understand them, or them possibly understand us?

Well, if you have an energy sheild like the fire storm, if the Wall IS infact a wall of fire, it needs Oxegen, what is there a lack of in space? But the basic idea behind an engergy sheild is put forward, some one else could think up something better. Another Idea (just thought it up) is a "Hydro shield".
have you ever tryed to shoot a bullet into water? Acording to what I am told, the bullet will be slowed down. If we could make some sort of core that could possobly create a gravity feild in outerspace, and then ad hydrogen to its outside, we could not only create gas planits (given a heck of a long time) we could also create a gravity feild that holds water, incomeing objects are slowed down, and could be dealt with much more effectivly than a rushd shot. I dont how ever, think that will work with something like a Lazer beam.

Also in space combat, I do not belive that there is any form of stealth.
If there is, man kind must develop more in tech, but heres a thought: we do see allot of glowys out there in the sky. It would take considerable knowege of the stars (most likely a captan would know something about the star systems, but to spot one of these ships from afar is dificult. It may prove to be better stealth than you realize.

Aha. Alien communication. They might not even have throats where we do, so how could we possibly understand them, or them possibly understand us?

Well if you studyed anything on A51 and Belive the story, the US Millitary hired 'mediums' or 'telipaths' to comunicate with a survivor from the crash sight. ofcourse its all a bit iffy.
There was a vidio of the Alien suddenly suffering from a stroke, and dieing.

What I do not understand is why the US Military were so Intent of covering it up, and yet now, we have some evidence that something did infact happen there, we have people today trying to discreadit it all. its probobly a good thing to have sceptics though.

I will also Add that all life forms that we are likly to meet need a means of breathing, gills, lungs, or maybe the pores of there skin breaths for them. if there is an alien that dose not breath, I would indeed like to meet it, but on my turf.

[Chainsaw man]

Is anyone gonna reply?
Did I say anything stupid that got people bored?

Some one gonna run down what I put forward? what about acuse me of beliving the storys of A-51?
Anyone? Hello!!!

um... dose the train run though here?
ugh... dose it run past my house? ugh... was Jeff a clone of David?
What happend to my chainsaw fuel, was it all depleted when I fought the final boss?
thats quite allot of questions left to just drop a thread...

And the Ending of it all makes no sence, it like Chewbacas Deffence... ok, theres me and a bunch of people I know though the Internet, but never meet in person, and were all standing here on this... this town lighten up with greeny blue light...

hello?

yea I bet your type wrighter ran out of ink, you cheep bastard!

(the above post was to keep the thread from dieing, and poking fun at a parody Monoluge of NGE of Shinjis final words)

[Nitsua]

As far as alien communication goes, you could set up base language by
using a visual for of communication.

Non-personal shields could just be very strong electromagnetic fields.

[Chainsaw man]

Intersting, how dose it work? (the Sheild genorator)

[Glabbit]

By chainsaw.

[Chainsaw man]

Chainsaws are the Ultamate weapon in regards to brutaility and anti Mob warfair.

You're thinking of the 12-gauge shotgun.

[Count Roland]

I much prefer 10 gauges, or if you can find them even though they are illegal for the most part, 8 gauges.
