Description
The Geara class is a massive capital ship armed with laser turrets ranging from anti-fighter to orbital bombardment cannons. It's three chemical thrusters push it along at a slow pace but the Geara has no need to get close to the enemy. With massive laser turrets and full command over it's lesser counterparts, the Geara is the power house behind the mighty king.----------

I must say I love it!Β It's very will designed and truly deserves the title of Capital Ship!

Nope, it's a Geara capitol ship. Says so in the description.

Nice ship! Too bad it lacks any FTL drive.
It would take a thousend or so years to travel to Proxima Centauri
π: 0 β©: 1
I actually don't know if this ship has FTL, don't think so.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, there goes offensive practicality out the window
I'd use such a ship to defend a planet, or its local moon. I it would take ages to reach the nearest star 
π: 0 β©: 2
Well it design is clearly to dish out large amount of damage but I got the impression that these ships are mostly used in orbital battles around earth as it belongs to a nation compromised of former European countries. Even with FTL going anywhere still takes ages, if you managed to go way faster then light then going somewhere interesting would still take weeks to years.

I just heard from that they use Mass Relays (just like in Mass Effect... awesome game btw).
π: 0 β©: 1
Just read it. Also, that's my favorite single player game.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm already on the third, and so far its doing a good job at convincing me its my favorite too.

You're still working your way trough? Been almost a year since I last played any of the series, keep planing to do a full play trough again but something always gets in the way.
π: 0 β©: 1
I only just recently started.
I haven't been At it for more than a month or two.
You're wrong about the ship by the way.
The guy said that it came from a "Europe-like" orginization from another solar system, not from actual Europe
π: 0 β©: 1
You don't have to keep telling me what he said you know, it's the internet, everyone can read it... Also, I'm not wrong, I was mis informed.
Now stand still while I aim my MAC's at ya.
P.S. There has to be an easier way to have a conversation between three people.
π: 0 β©: 1
Put a scratch on me with that weapon and you'll have violated the EUSN!
We don't want to start an inter-versal war do we?
Yeah, I don't like the way the forum/comment system works here on DA.
Probably one of the few reasons I'm hardly ever visiting the forums.
I'd preferre the conventional way forums or comments work... likeΒ the entire internet uses everywhere.
π: 0 β©: 1
If I fired that weapon there wouldn't be a scratch left of you
The usual system might work beter for actual conversations but it wouldn't be anywhere near as organized.
π: 0 β©: 1
That, my man, depends on a whole lot of things.
Besides, if I would actually die, it would be considered a major incedent... and war would be inevitable.
Yeah, but its for having a conversation, not for orginization ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Not really, if that MAC fires you'll be nothing but vapor . . . and so will most of France. On a side note: Threatening the ULC with war has historically never worked out that well.
On a more serious note though, have you heard about Mass Effect 4? Supposedly it will have nothing to do at all with the original trilogy, which is kinda weird.
π: 0 β©: 1
Neither has aiming a mass-destructive weapon at anything part of the Empire of United Star Nations!
Yeah I read about it approx. two months ago I think.
Sounds intresting.
This means they're expanding the universe, because right now everything is Shepherd and her (in my case her) crew.
Now it will acknowledge the fact other exsist too.
Though I'll probably never be able to come even near ME4, its a wonder this thing can even barely run ME3 (thank goodness for BioWare and their optimization for AMD/ATI chips).
Whats your favorite character by the way?
Mine is Garrus at the first place. The only one that could remotely compaire to him in my opinion is Grunt ^^
(Merc: Dammit, any way to kill Archangel??
Garrus: You don't!)
π: 0 β©: 1
Okay that does it, I'm giving the order to fire! π: 0 β©: 1
Actually I got the idea that they're completely throwing away the original mass effect and just starting over, something like that shouldn't be called Mass Effect 4 but Mass Effect
My favorite is kind of a tie, Garrus is just downright bad ass and I've got a weakness for Tali. They've been my standard team for all 3 games. Never been much of a fan of any of the krogan characters, don't get me wrong I supported them the entire time but I don't like them.
Really? The current EUSN president is a Goridian, and they're warriors by nature.
No, I just looked up. Its not an ME reboot. It plays in the ame galaxy, after the Reapers.
It just doesn't have anything to do with Reapers, Collecters, Shepherd or any of the like because its a completely new story.
And finally! Vehicular exploration is (likely) coming back! (I miss the MAKO).
Also, planets will have day/night cycles, that'll have some awesome visuals!
Heh, I only got Origin installed because of the free games they throw at you once a month or so, otherwise I wouldn't give a hoot X3
I take Garrus on every mission. The other character I have to take is usually somebody that fills in the missing abilities well (and since the Shepherd I chose is an infiltrator (love snipers) that would be characters with good Biotics).
π: 0 β©: 1
Really? The entire ULC is Lunathai and they're apex predators that eat warrior races for breakfast .Β . . figuratively speaking.
Where did you read that? Cause the thing is that they can't make a Mass Effect game that takes place after the reapers due to ME3's ending. I don't want to spoil it for you but the different endings of ME3 all leave the universe completely different (not that any of them make sense), they'd have to make a different game for each ending. That's why they HAVE to break away from the original even if they managed to completely avoid the reapers or they would have to pick an official ending and force that on everyone. Which, let's be honest, I can completely see EA do. Poor Bioware. Most people didn't like the MAKO apparently, I did though and there where some vehicle mission in 2 of you got the Overlord DLC.
Only got Origin so I can keep a digital back-up of my EA games, for all my other PC games I mostly use Steam.
I play as a Vanguard myself, just blasting my shotgun and throwing people around. It was more fun before 2, when armor and shields suddenly made people immune to gravity.
π: 0 β©: 1
Right, andΒ you've probably forgotten tech levels and fleet sizes.
You're making it difficult for yourself attacking the EUSN. Now if you would've attacked the Ambraali, that would be another story (try to get more than two clans to rally together).
Ok... so apparently the endings of ME3 are too diverse from eachother to be making a proper continuation like they did with the endings of ME1 and ME2.
Though, one thing to note, the devs never said how far in the future ME4 would play. Unless we're talking about the destruction of the galaxy or a complete Reaper takeover I don't see why the devs can't take a piece of advice from the Doctor and let time solve the issue, making the game 50 or so years after the Shepherd event... or for as long as it takes for whatever endng ME3 had not to matter so much anymore (keeping only the most out-standing details and smoothing over all the rest).
I LOVED the MAKO, it was difficult at first, but then I learned to use it properly.
The hoverthingy in Overlord was crap, I really hated that thing Β¬_Β¬
I preferre snipers in most games because I'm just too damn good (and patient, unlike other players, like my brother) with them.
That is, if I'm playing with a mouse. I cannot sniper effectevly using consol analogue sticks.
π: 0 β©: 1
You know this used to be fun, now you're just being annoying.
Well actually the ending does involve reaper take over and/or the complete destruction of the universe as we know it. People call all the endings the same except for different colors, cause they are, but the way the universe looks is completely different afterwards. You'll have to finish the game or someone has to spoil it for you to really get it.
π: 0 β©: 1
What? Was it me reminding you that the EUSN is more advanced than the ULC or me trying to divert your attention to the Ambraali
Oh, well... Thats going to be a difficult something to smooth over if they're intension is a sequel o_o
Now more than ever am I feeling that galaxy is needing an Elementalist.
(And say no more about the endings!).
π: 0 β©: 1
It was you thinking that more technology means victory, technology which probably won't even work in my universe and if we fight in yours I'm sending the ULC from 500 years later just so we can call it 'fair'. It's my imagination I can do that.
Wait what elementalist? Space magic?
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, the thing is, the current weapon tech from the ULC is largely projectile based (from what I saw).
The shields of most up-to-date generation III space-fairing races absorb all kinetic and almost all thermal energy.
Meaning you could keep hitting a ship full on with slugs the size of apartment blocks traveling at 90% the speed of light but the most you do is simply charge the ship.
Most weapons for taking down shields are completely energy based and usually don't have any temperature or physical impact, but they lower the shields because of the way the energy from the weapon interacts with the energy of the shields (by ionzing the shield, slowly changing the frequency, particle condensation, attraction forces, disruption etc).
That said, I got no idea about the ULC +500 years. They could've invented a hypercomplexity canon by then for all I know.
No, not quite. And there isn't a lot of data on it. There isn't exactly an abudance of Elementalists.
Few things that are known though is that an Elementalist is in... or more like has to be in sync with the frequencies of the residing universe or dimension (Or the 11 dimensional co-ordinates to put it in Dark Miner words). But EUSN and its allies' science hasn't reached that far yet and most of it is based on what everybody could glean from partly intact Ancient science archives, what confusing explanations the Dark Miners could give and some mostly fruitless experimentation on one particular Elementalist who was too busy doing his duties 95% of the time.
It is known though that any individual from any species can be one if given the ability by the Generation I races (oldest and first in the universe. Extremely wide spread and none communicative. They're lifeforms made up out of the first materials in the very begining of the universe) and they can shift that frequency slightly to perfectly match that of any of the 7 most fundamental building blocks in the universe, or with difficulty hold one of each frequency in parallel to have somekiind of combination.
When one does that the matter that makes up the lifeform completely changes to whatever fundamental energy they match with and giving the individual direct control over that energy within a certain area (the scale of that area depends on subspace-mass, wich is again a very recent and unknown field of science).
But, if you want to go all primitive, you could just call it space magix yeah
π: 0 β©: 1
That's why I said your 'technology' won't work in my universe cause it's simply impossible. You can't design a shield that infinitely absorbs energy cause everything has a limit, if you tried using that in a universe that doesn't have space magic you'll melt your electronics and blow out your energy storage. Then you say (and watch closely) that shields absorb all kinetic and thermal energy but somehow all anti-shield weapons are energy based, you're already slightly contradicting yourself. Not to mention that you can't make a weapon that has no temperature (well you could technically if your weapon fires something hotter then what is considered temperature cause there is a theoretical limit after which it's no longer considered heat) or physical impact since everything in the universe is made out of particles. I'd also like to point out that you can't ionize energy particles, ionized means that an atom loses or gains electrons thus acquiring a positive or negative charge.
The most powerful weapon 500 years from my current time line (earth date: approx 2665) is the Singularity warhead, invented in 2173 by the Lunathai-Emphyl Aliance it has grown from a ground side explosive to a weapon capable of imploding the stars themselves.
Now if you don't mind, I'm going to completely ignore that little space magic part at the bottom there.

Hey, who says the ships keep all the energy bottled up?
Unless the safety limits get removed, the ship batteries wont go over 160%.
All excess power gets vented as neutrinos (though Glish are known to vent it as a messy soup of atomic radiation).
Also, almost all races of the current tech level don't use electricity anymore. In the EUSN its standard issue to use pulse as main power, the Magaar somehow use gravitons etc. (no, you cannot hook up one alien computer to another from a completely differant race and let them interface as easily as you see in Star Trek, or any sci-fi for that matter).
No temperature is also possible with energy. Electricty, for example, has no temperature at all. It only burn something because when it hits something the electrical energy transforms into thermal energy (among other things). One can measure the temperature of lightning only because it heats of the sorrounding air its hitting.
That said, many races do in fact use weapons that are hot or give an impact (like proton weapons), but the trick is to have the special effect the weapon has on the shields outweigh that of the thermal or the kinetic effect.
Also, some shields do actually get ionized. Not every race uses the same kind of shields like it Star Wars or Star Trek. Fire Magaar electron weapons at an Oozrang proton shield and what they'd be left with is a cloud of hydrogen. Do the same to the ships of an unpronauncable insectanoid race from the Virgo cluster and their shields are left being charged plasma.
Attacking a race in my universe isn't just loading the photon torpeodos and bombs away.
A lot of research is required to understand what the enemy shields are made of and what weakneses does it have. What is used for the armour and hull plating and wether or not they absorb magnetism based weaponry, or if the onboard proton-stream cirutry cannot be tampered with etc.
Yikes, such weaponry has been long since banned by most races!
Not because of its power but of their level of destruction and what it may do to local space!
The last weapon like that were developed by the Garaag, the dreadnaught anti-ship microsingularity canon.
It was used only once ever against an SK droneship warcruiser with very little effect (the SK ship's tychion based weapons and shielding dispersed the singularities).
It would be helpful to remember Arthur C. Clarke's third law ^^
π: 0 β©: 2
PC crapped out for a sec there
Β Β A) Electricity has nothing at all cause electricity is nothing but a word given to the flow of electrons.
Β Β B) That is how energy actually works, energy can never be lost only changed.
"Also, some shields do actually get ionized."
Β I already explained to you that that doesn't work you can't use your own universe as an example (or any other fictional universe) to prove that it does.
If you think anything can 'disperse' a black hole you are sad and I have no desire to discuss further space magic with you.
While that rule is correct, Arthur C. Clark was a science fiction writer not a scientist.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, you can edit your posts now should something go wrong (finally DA, took them long enough).
Energy can be transformed into a whole array of other things.
I trust that 1000 years from now we would've developed a few techniques for that.
Thalaron doesn't exsist either, but that doesn't stop it from turning people to stone in sci-fi.
Neither does Kodalcite, Kryptonite (as depicted in Superman), Dilithium, Dr Elmans Energy, the force etc
So that arguement is kinda weak...
Well, no, us Humans, especially not with out current understanding, cannot use gravitons as power.
But who's to say a race much older than ours can't?
A) Yeah, I know, and I believe you knew what I meant. This is kinda knit-picking...
B) I know that too, I didn't say any energy got lost.
I told you, some races use charged gas or protons as shields.
Tychions move faster than the speed of light. Why wouldn't a stream of tychions be able to eccellerate the energy loss and dispersion rate of a singularity?
(Stephen Hawkings proved that black holes are shrinking the whole time till they're eventually no more because gamma rays escape just on the fringes of its pulling force. The chapter about this in his book is called "Black holes ain't so black" I believe).
Doesn't make it any less true or valid ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Energy can only theoretically be transformed into solid matter according to Einstein, who theorized that matter is just dense energy. How does naming other stuff that doesn't exist make any argument weak, especially when we are talking about how things really work not how 'sci-fi' (which in some ... well most cases, is just the fi part) portraits them. Also, Dilithium does actually exist. Di means two and Lithium is element number 3 so it means Li2, doesn't work in the same way though. On a side note, deuterium (also from star trek) exists as well although in reality it's
a form of hydrogen I believe and is used in Nuclear fusion.
Science says that gravitons can't be used for power, firstly they are theoretical, secondly they are part of an attraction force not an energy, thirdly it's because they simply don't work that way. Light bulb works because a charge flows trough a wire causing it to heat and emit light, electric motors work because the same charge flows trough a coil causing it to become magnetic and attract a metal rod that then rotates within it.
A) No that was me showing that all forms of energy work that way, kinetic energy has no temperature either. Any that does result out of a kinetic impact is because part of that energy becomes thermal energy.
B) I never implied that any energy was lost.
I'm only telling you once more, you can't say that "some races use charged gas or protons as shields." cause that is simply put a lie. There are no such races in real life.
Dude it's called a TACHYON and they are fully theoretical. Stephen Hawking never proved anything, he bases all his work on that of Einstein who's work is to date still largely theoretical.My sister once told me that airplanes flap their wings when they fly, by logic that would be a rule then aswell.
π: 0 β©: 1
If we're talking about real science (and not sci-fi... wouldn't know where we stopped with that because we certainly started with it o_o) why are we throwing Einstein, Stephen Hawkings and their theories out the window? Most of science is just a bunch of theories, hypothosies and mathematical models that work when compring the equations but not much further.
So saying their work is all very much theoratical but then a whole bunch of other things foreward that are also still theoratical makes no sense.
Yes I know about both of those.
And I haven't heard od deuterium as much as in the last 4 years now with everybody trying to push fusion energy into everyone's faces.
Its a hydrogen isotope containing one proton, one neutron and a single electron.
Arthur's first and second laws apply here.
A) Well I know that already... learnt that right after Newnton's laws of motion...
B) <- then I'm not sure what this is doing here...
We started out with aliens... that's the whole reason this discussion is here.
Besides being a sci-fi writer he also invented things, predicted things that came true 100%, wrote articles and lectures on science, brought science to the intrest of the masses (if I'm correct he won an award for that) and probably knows just about as much of science as a university physics teacher would.
Our little sisters are talking about things we know everything about, Arthur is talking about "the absurd, unknown and crazily true".
(And crap, I knew I spelled tachyon wrong somewhere >.< )

"All excess power gets vented as neutrinos"Β That's not how energy works.
There is no such thing as 'pulse' and graviton don't doesn't have anything to do with supplying power.
"Electricty, for example, has no temperature at all. It only burn something because when it hits something the electrical energy transforms into thermal energy"

Lol, I apologize if my description to him was not clear enough. The faction in control of this thing is European like. The place this is being used is inΒ another solar system entirely XD.

Yeah I got something like that too, called the META (or the Mid Empire Terran Alliance).
I'll tell Calates how blasphemiously wrong he is!

I got my own universe ^^
I call it Deep Space.
The META is a part of the Empire of United Star Nations. Its main role is to integrate Terran Abductee worlds into the general empire.

So the factions of earth are fighting each other in another solar system?
π: 0 β©: 1
No
The story I am playing at current is set 400 years into the future following the catastrophic asteroid impact that causes the planet to begin dying. Those who survived fled Earth and settled in a solar system over 120 light years away in the Pegasus (Constellation) Direction. The system that was settled in has eight world, four of which have been colonized and out of those four, two alien races have been discovered out of quite a list of different ones. A War between all three worlds did happen, but right now its post war time, but an Alien Empire that has occupied the other four worlds is getting ready to make a move.

I got to take a step back here though, how exactly are they European like?
π: 0 β©: 1
There government types and the majority of their overall accents.
π: 0 β©: 1
But in modern day European countries the king has nothing to do with the government, at most he is a spokesperson . . . or in my countries case: That jerk that keeps spending tax payer money on houses that he never uses. Anyway, European countries either have a president or prime minister and we have lots of accents.
